At this point, the joy of obtaining an exquisite item had completely faded .
The Felstriker was extremely valuable, but it would eventually become obsolete . However, the Master of Alchemy was different .
Lu Li was beginning to regret giving so much attention to Forging the item . In fact, he should have just sent someone here . After the System update, he should have immediately made his way over . He could have even sent other players here a few days in advance . Cold Chill was definitely worth the manpower and resources .
Unfortunately, it was too late . Lu Li was hesitating on whether he should just send a direct message to her .
But at this time, he spotted a dejected female Night Elf . She was quite good looking, but it wasn't clear what profession she was .
This was because all players were given cloth clothing at the start . The cloth clothing provided no Attributes and couldn't be dropped . She also didn't have any weapons on hand .
After glancing at Lu Li, she searched the area around her, then made a disappointed expression . Then, she began to cast a Fireball . It seemed like she had dropped her weapon and had revived, but was unable to find it . Newbies respawned quite quickly, but it was also quite normal for them to be unable to recover their dropped weapons .
The Fireball hit a little Grell's body . Although Lu Li couldn't see what the actual damage figure was, he could tell that it was quite weak .
Lu Li smiled at the sight of this player as his disappointment was slowly swept away .
The Grell's level was quite low and this one looked even smaller than usual . Under normal circumstances, any player of the same level should have been able to easily kill it .
Unfortunately, this player didn't have a weapon, and it wasn't easy to kill a Grell with just the Fireball .
She also didn't have any other skills, so she could only walk around and take damage from the monster as she waited for the cooldown to reset .
The Grell was on half HP, but the player was quite bloodied . Her face was white and she knew what was going to happen next .
She didn't know what was wrong with her . Everyone else seemed to be able to play the game, but she was struggling . After playing for a few days, she still hadn't made it out of the Novice Village . The money that she had brought in at the beginning had already been spent, and she was beginning to question everything .
Previously, she had forgotten about her Mana . As a result, she couldn't cast her skill and she was killed by the Grell .
What was even more tragic was that she dropped the only weapon she had left .
Now, she couldn't even defend herself .
Was she going to have to go back to fighting wild boar cubs?
Those level 1 monsters now wouldn't give her any EXP as a level 3 player . However, given her unluckiness, she probably wouldn't find a weapon anyway…
However, the death that she was expecting didn't happen . Tracing the source of the sudden sound, she saw a person standing with a rifle . There was smoke trailing from the muzzle; it seemed like he had saved her .
"Thanks for saving me," the female Mage said gratefully .
"Why can't you defeat even a single Grell?" Lu Li asked her .
The female Mage was stunned and mumbled, "I dropped my weapon and I didn't come back quickly enough so I can't find it…"
"What level are you?" Lu Li asked .
"Level 3"
"Level 3 isn't that low . Getting from level 0 to 3 should give you 15 Attribute points . What did you add them to?"
"Five points to Stamina, five points to Agility and five points to Intelligence . "
It seemed like she didn't understand what the Attribute points were for . The System would always remind her when she leveled up, telling her that they could improve some of her strength .
"I see…" Lu Li held his head in his hands . Fortunately, his helmet was more like a mask – otherwise, it would be difficult for him to conceal his contempt .
"Thank you for saving me; I'll go and harvest some herbs now . I heard that I can earn some money that way . "
The female Mage was unexpectedly sensitive . She could hear Lu Li's disdain from his voice, and she knew that something was wrong . However, her stubborn nature prevented her from asking .
"The herbs in the Novice Village aren't worth much and there are too many people doing the same thing here . You won't be able to get much," Lu Li said .
"Oh . "
Another wave of disappointment washed over the female Mage, and the thought of giving up became even stronger .
"Alright, are you willing to become my apprentice? The system has just been added today and it just so happens that I haven't had to time to find any other apprentices . I can teach you how to play, and send you a bunch of newbie equipment . I can also find someone to level with you . "
"Huh, why would you want me as your apprentice?" Despite her excitement, the female Mage was still cautious . She often encountered men in reality with malicious intentions .
"If you become my apprentice and complete quests or get upgrades, I gain certain rewards and reputation . You have to listen to what I tell you to do, so I can get what I need . How about it?" Lu Li tried not to show how eager he was .
Even if he wanted to take this female Mage as an apprentice, he would scare her away if he was too eager .
The female Mage thought about it for a moment before deciding it was a 'fair trade' . She finally nodded and agreed, but what she didn't know was people didn't usually take on random apprentices, and even fewer players would take on a newbie like her .
Lu Li pointed out how to send a request through the system and soon, he was prompted with "Player Cold Chill has applied to become your apprentice . Do you agree?"
Surely enough, this was Cold Chill and Lu Li had no reason to refuse . After confirming the request, the future alchemist was now his own apprentice . This would be his first and only apprentice .
"Now, you are my apprentice . Let me tell you something about Mages…" Lu Li was a now a teacher . Although he was excited, he had no intention of misleading her and quickly took on the role of a mentor .
Cold Chill was listening intently to what Lu Li was saying . Lu Li's simple explanation gave her an understanding of her profession and what mistakes she made after entering the game .
"Now, cast your skill at the Grells," Lu Li said after a while, pointing at the Grells that Cold Chill couldn't defeat previously .
Lu Li was speechless . He was an expert at the top of the Level Ranking; how could he not protect this rookie?
Cold Chill was slightly embarrassed, but she obediently cast her skills at the Grells .
"Before the battle begins, you can actually take a few steps back so there is more distance between you and the monster . This way, you can increase the time it takes for the monster to reach it . This is a simple concept you can apply right away . "
It was such a simple strategy that it was surprising that this apprentice didn't know it . It was hard to imagine that this rookie would go on to become Dawn's greatest alchemist .
