Chapter 13 - Blackie’s Good Luck

The Kobold within the smoke was hit, 21 damage appearing above his head .

The Kobold became furious after being inexplicably attacked . Like a searchlight, the Kobold looked around in all directions with his blood red eyes . Such an action had also caused the other Kobolds to start being on guard .

Within the forest, Blackie’s heartbeat kept on speeding up . He was extremely panicked .

Although the Kobolds looked to be Level 2, their Attributes 100% belonged to a Level 4 . Drinking the Black Steel Beer allowed a player to become drunk, significantly increasing the player’s courage . As a result, all enemies seen by the player would have their Levels reduced by 2 . However, this would not reduce the Kobolds’ Attributes .

If these Kobolds came rushing at them, only death awaited Shi Feng and Blackie .

Yet, Blackie’s worries were for naught .

The attacked Kobold looked at its surroundings . However, it did not discover any enemies . After whining for a bit, it returned to its original state . The other Kobolds also stopped paying attention to their deranged companion as they continued walking about .

“Relax . They won’t attack us as long as you maintain a 30-yard distance . ” Shi Feng clapped Blackie’s shoulders as he confidently commented .

He had been planning all this ahead of time . Otherwise, he wouldn’t have spent that much money buying all those items .

Blackie became even more courageous after Shi Feng’s encouragement . He continuously chanted curses and shot out Dark Arrows .

The Kobold only had 420 HP, and it couldn’t withstand Blackie’s bombardment at all . After receiving more than twenty Dark Arrows, it breathed its final breath . Meanwhile, the other Kobolds by its side did not show any reaction at all .

Blackie became excited when he saw the first Kobold fall .

He had killed a monster 4 levels higher . Although the EXP was shared due to being in a two-man party, the amount of EXP he received was still plenty . His experience had risen by 5% within an instant .

This meant that Blackie would level up after killing 20 Kobolds . He was even safe and unharmed . If the monsters did not disappear completely, their leveling speed would be terrifying . With such a great way of leveling, they would be able to rise even to Level 6 very effectively . Blackie now understood why Shi Feng was so confident . Even if they had wasted several hours from traveling, being able to grind on monsters here was definitely worth it .

After a while, the group of twenty or so Kobolds in front of the mine’s entrance was cleared out completely

Blackie had also raised to Level 1 . After he equipped the Blackwood Staff and added all his Free Ability Points into Intelligence, his damage was increased by a large leap . He could now take away 45 HP from the Kobolds in a single hit .

Meanwhile, the group of Kobolds had dropped 12 Copper Coins and a Level 3 Common Cloth Armor . There were also 5 pieces of Meteorite Ore . Blackie’s luck was quite good .

According to what Shi Feng had known, the drop rate of Meteorite Ore from the Kobolds was not high; only one would drop out of ten of them . Nearly 1000 Kobolds needed to be killed to obtain 100 pieces of Meteorite Ore . Now, however, just a group Kobolds had given them 5 pieces of Meteorite Ore .  

After storing the drops, Shi Feng went on to lure more monsters . With the advantage of his 16 Agility, Shi Feng’s speed was faster than the Kobolds . Within moments, he had lured over 30 Kobolds . He also maintained the distance of around 20-yards, but not exceeding 25-yards . When he had lured all the Kobolds into the smoke cloud, Shi Feng increased his speed abruptly . He quickly distanced himself over 25-yards from the Kobolds, causing them to lose their target . After losing their target, the Kobolds stood on the spot in a daze .

Blackie who stood over 30 yards away took the chance to attack .

The group of over 30 Kobolds took less than ten minutes to be cleared . They dropped another 21 Coppers and 6 pieces of Meteorite Ore . Shi Feng and Blackie’s experience also greatly increased .

In such a way, Shi Feng continued luring monsters while Blackie continued dealing damage . Although the process felt mechanical and boring, Blackie was not complaining one tiny bit . On the contrary, he became even more vigorous with each kill . He wished he could just kill all day without resting .

After an hour, Blackie’s level had also risen to Level 2 . His Dark Arrow rose to Level 3, and his damage went from more than 40 to more than 60 . Such a rocket-like leveling speed made him speechlessly happy, giving him even more motivation to aim for Level 3 .  

Their Kobold-killing efficiency also increased by quite a bit with Blackie’s greatly improved damage . The only downside was the increase in MP consumption following the Dark Arrow’s level up . Fortunately, there was the Magic Water that Shi Feng had bought . With it, Blackie could fully regenerate his MP before Shi Feng had lured a new group of monsters, allowing him to deal damage without pause .

Meanwhile, Shi Feng was observing Blackie’s condition while he lured a suitable number of Kobolds . Other than that, he was just picking up the loot . The number of Copper Coins and Meteorite Ore were steadily increasing .

After another hour of Blackie’s effort, they had managed to collect 73 pieces of Meteorite Ore, 6 pieces of Common Equipment, and 264 Coppers . They would be able to gather the remaining Meteorite Ore if they grinded for another hour .

The system notification rang out just at this moment .

System: Player Lonely Snow has sent you 10 Coppers .

Subsequently, Shi Feng received a communication request . The person contacting him was Lonely Snow .

“You are?” Shi Feng had just finished luring a group of monsters . Since he had nothing to do, he accepted the call request .

“Hello, Brother Expert . I’m Lonely Snow . We met before at the Town Hall, and you’ve even pointed me to a grinding spot . That place was just too great . There wasn’t anybody stealing mobs from me, and I could also easily handle them . I’m already Level 2 now . I’ve also looted a lot of materials and Copper coins . I’ve already mailed you the 10 Coppers . I wonder if you’ve received it . ” Lonely Snow was extremely excited . Previously, he was worried that this expert would not bother with him any longer . This was because experts were usually very proud; they wouldn’t even look at minor characters like him . Lonely Snow had earned over 60 Coppers from that treasured location he purchased . His level had even risen to Level 2, leading the other players by quite a lot . Spending 20 Coppers for this were definitely worth it .

“So it was you . I’ve received the 10 Coppers . ” Shi Feng only remembered about it after being reminded . Indeed there was such a matter . However, that was when he needed the money to kill the Town Mayor a little earlier, so he had just casually given out some pointers . He didn’t really mind regarding the remaining 10 Coppers .  

“Brother Expert, the Level 2 Dungeon [Deathly Forest] has already been opened, so I wanted to invite you to dive into the Dungeon . My friends are all veterans, and they’re all Level 2 now . They will definitely not drag you down . Of course, all Swordsman Equipment obtained from the Dungeon will belong to you . Do you perhaps have the time?” Lonely Snow was slightly nervous . Experts usually disdained bringing along other people, especially rookie newbies . It was the reason why Lonely Snow mentioned that there were Level 2 veterans in the party; he was afraid Shi Feng would just outright reject him .

Deathly Forest?

Shi Feng had a deep impression of this Dungeon . As long as the number of Level 2 players in Red Leaf Town reaches a certain amount, the first Level 2 Dungeon in Red Leaf Town, [Deathly Forest] would be opened .

Along with the Deathly Forest’s opening, players of God’s Domain were made known to the difficulty of Dungeons . Deathly Forest was only conquered after many players had reached Level 4 or 5 .  

Meanwhile, Deathly Forest’s true purpose was to increase the number of skills a player could possess . The monsters within the dungeon mainly dropped the basic skill books for every Job . However, the most precious item within the Dungeon was the forging design . Only the Final Boss, Werewolf Felot dropped it with a very low probability .

Shi Feng was very interested in this forging design . If he could learn it, then he would be able to further progress in his plans .

“Fine . However, I have a condition of my own . I will be bringing a Cursemancer, so all Cursemancer and Swordsman equipment will belong to me . Also, I want all materials and design papers that the Boss drops . If you all are willing to agree to this condition then I can go with you . ” Shi Feng had just casually asked for the majority of the profits . However, he did not feel anything wrong with it .

“This……” Lonely Snow started sweating all over after hearing Shi Feng’s condition . As expected, an expert’s asking price was definitely high . However, when Lonely Snow considered the strengths of a Beta Tester, he still reluctantly agreed, “Alright then, I agree . I’ll tell it to the others . Expert, when will you be free to come?”

“We’ll meet at the Dungeon’s entrance in another two or so hours . ” Shi Feng estimated Blackie’s killing speed . In over an hour, they would definitely be able to finish gathering the 100 pieces of Meteorite Ore .

“That’s good . Then I’ll start preparing over here . I’ll see you at the Dungeon’s entrance, Brother Expert . ” Lonely Snow ended the call, a heavy weight being freed from him .

At this moment, there were three other people standing beside Lonely Snow . Every one of them was Level 2 .

“What did that expert say?” a handsome Ranger asked .

Lonely Snow explained it to them word for word .

“What dog’s fart expert? He’s just here to take advantage and rip off equipment from us . What’s the point of inviting him? If we add another two damage dealers, we can enter the Dungeon all the same . ” a Shield Warrior angrily cursed .

The male Cleric standing at a side curled his lips, saying in a bad mood, “Then he’s saying that all mage-class equipment belongs to his friend . ”

Lonely Snow advised, “That person is a real expert . He’s also a Beta Tester . He definitely has a deep understanding of the Dungeon . He might even be able to guide us through it . Don’t you all want to clear the Deathly Forest?”

“So, what if he’s a Beta Tester? He just had an extra month of experience in God’s Domain and a rough understanding of it . Besides, the data has long been changed after the game’s official release . Even if he knew a lot about the Deathly Forest, how much use could there be?” The Shield Warrior asked in disdain . He felt that those Beta Testers were only lucky . Their actual skills and strength might not even be comparable to them .

“We’ll see how it goes after they arrive . If it’s no good, then by that time there will be a lot more Level 2 players . It won’t be too late, even if we find someone else by then . ” The leading Ranger said .

After hearing this Ranger speak, the others nodded their heads in agreement .

At this moment, there was a flash of light in Dark Moon Valley .

Shi Feng had finally raised to Level 3 . Unfortunately, the leaderboard for levels had yet to be opened . Otherwise, he would definitely be ranked first on Red Leaf Town’s leaderboard for levels .

“Finally Level 3 . ” Shi Feng hurriedly added 4 attribute points towards Agility, letting his Agility reach 20 points .

System: Player’s Agility has reached 20 points . Activating Agility Hidden Basic Skill [Fast And Nimble] .

[Fast And Nimble] (Active)

When activated, possess a body exceeding the normal man .

Body’s degree of freedom is completely released .

Shi Feng suddenly felt a gush of strength from his entire body . He also felt his body becoming unspeakably agile . His five senses also received a great improvement . These improvements allowed Shi Feng to better exert his body's potential .

Besides Shi Feng reaching Level 3, the last Kobold that Blackie killed had unexpectedly dropped a Level 1 Bronze Equipment: Warboots .

Shi Feng couldn’t help but admire Blackie’s luck . Common monsters of Level 1 to 3 would not drop any Bronze Equipment . The drop rate of Bronze Equipment from Level 4 wild monsters was one out of ten thousand . Yet Blackie had actually got it; his luck was just heaven defying .

“Brother Feng, what are the attributes? Let me see as well!” Blackie said so excitedly .

“The Warboots’ attributes are quite good . ” Shi Feng displayed the attributes .

[Recruit’s Warboots] (Bronze Rank, Plate Armor)

Level 1

Equipment Requirement: Strength 6

Defense +8

Strength +1, Endurance +1

Movement Speed +1

Durability 20/20

“This is too great . With this equipment, Brother Feng’s speed would become even faster,” Blackie happily said . Before, it was only him who obtained a Bronze Equipment . It had troubled him to no end . Now that Shi Feng had one as well, his heart became relieved as he said, “Brother Feng, how many Meteorite Ore are we still missing?”

“Not many . Just 4 more pieces . We’ll be okay after another wave . ” Shi Feng looked into his bag . Unknowingly, there were already 96 pieces of Meteorite Ores in his bag . If someone else had come here to grind, they might have needed five to six hours to obtain this many . Luckily, there was Blackie . They had gathered most of it after just killing a few hundred Kobolds .

Just when Shi Feng was about to lure more monsters, his keen senses detected three blurry figures were closing in from behind Blackie .

“Blackie, dodge quickly!”

Shi Feng yelled as he pulled out his Novice Sword . With lightning speed, Shi Feng rushed over .

Blackie remained ignorant of the situation . He was still stuck being happy, unaware of the things approaching him .

“Only finding out now? You’re too late . He’ll be the first one . ”

Three figures suddenly appeared . They were three Assassin players, and one of them was Quiet Wolf, the person who was killed before . A mage being simultaneously ambushed by three Assassins would die, without question . There would be no suspense to it, even if Blackie was 1 level higher than them .
