Chapter 43
43 Chapter 43, main storyline mission (2) completed!
“I don’t even dare to return to Liancheng now.”Meng Jingtian smiled helplessly.
“I do have a way, but...”Cai Minghou hesitated for a moment before sending another message.
“What Way?”Meng Jingtian hurriedly asked.
“I saw a purple item at the auction house previously, the Dugu Mask. It can hide an ID, but it doesn’t have any attribute bonuses.”Cai Minghou replied.
“It’s just that... I thought no one would buy such a useless item, but when I went to take a look just now, it was already bought by someone else.”
“... you said it like you didn’t say it!”Meng Jingtian rolled his eyes. He had given himself hope for nothing, so he might as well not say it.
“The item was bought by someone else, but at least we know there’s such an item!”Cai Minghou reminded him.
Meng Jingtian was stunned. After a moment, his eyes lit up and he understood.
The game world was very big. The map that they could see now was already several times the size of Earth.
However, it was also very small. If they posted a message in the world channel, all the players in the entire mysterious dragon country could see it, not to mention the existence of the game forum that allowed players to communicate with each other.
It was not as difficult as he had imagined to find a tool!
“Then I’ll have to trouble you to help me post a purchase message as soon as possible! The price is not a problem!”Meng Jingtian immediately asked Cai Minghou to help him find the tool.
With his current popularity in the game, his every move could cause a riot.
“No Problem! I promise to complete the mission!”Cai Minghou promised.
While chatting, Meng Jingtian soon arrived at the Blood Demon Palace’s stronghold hidden in the depths of the Black Crow Forest.
In the dark forest, Wisps of mist filled the air, as if carrying a faint smell of blood. Accompanied by the Creepy Crow’s cry from afar, it sent chills down people’s spines.
Even though it was daytime in the game, this stronghold of the blood demon palace seemed to be in the dark.
[ outer disciple of the blood demon palace (level 45) : a disciple of the blood demon palace on guard. It seems like they are guarding something. ].
[ hp: 250,000]
[ skills: bloodthirsty demon technique, blood slaughter, blood bathing claw... ]
At this moment, Meng Jingtian could already see all the information of the monsters. The HP of the Monsters was not high at this level.
“God’s punishment!”Meng Jingtian threw out a god’s punishment and hit two monsters.
The two monsters instantly lost half of their health bar. They cried and howled as they grabbed at Meng Jingtian.
“Something 3757”
“Something 3594”
Two blood-red numbers appeared almost at the same time. Meng Jingtian was shocked.
As expected, the Monsters’health was not high, but their attack was not low.
He immediately used divine recovery to heal his health bar to full and killed one of them with a few more slashes.
“Ding! EXP + 75,000!”
The monster fell. The system notification showed that Meng Jingtian had obtained 75,000 EXP.
Meng Jingtian glanced at it and continued to kill the other monster in front of him.
However, he was not very satisfied. One monster only had 70,000 exp, and he needed 5,000,000 exp to level up.
In other words, he needed to kill 67 small monsters to level up.
He could kill two small monsters in a minute, and it would take him at least half an hour to kill these 67 small monsters.
Such a leveling speed might be considered fast for others, but for Meng Jingtian, it felt a little uncomfortable.
However, he had no other choice at this time. He could only mechanically farm the small monsters in front of him repeatedly.
The dead monsters would only respawn every half an hour. Moreover, there were not many monsters outside the blood demon palace’s stronghold, further slowing down Meng Jingtian’s leveling progress.
This was clearly not an excellent grinding spot. Taking advantage of the fact that the monsters had not respawned, Meng Jingtian logged onto the forum to find a new grinding spot.
However, his level was already far above ordinary players. He could grind level 45 monsters, while other players were still grinding level 20 to 30 monsters.
Even Bai Xiaosheng was made up of countless ordinary players. Even they didn’t have the ability to search for level 40 monster farming spots.
Although he couldn’t find the monster farming spots, Meng Jingtian saw that posts about him occupied almost the entire forum.
There were 15 posts on the front page of the forum, and 13 of them were about him!
Meng Jingtian laughed bitterly and continued to scroll down. Finally, after five pages, he found the message that Cai Minghou had just posted asking for the “Lonely mask”at a high price.
Unfortunately, other than a few nosy people asking why he was looking for this kind of useless equipment without attributes, there was no other valuable information.
Meng Jingtian could only return to the game and continue to “Slowly”level up.
This time, it took an entire afternoon. However, Meng jingtian only leveled up two levels, reaching level 39.
Just as he was about to go offline to rest, he suddenly heard a system announcement.
“Ding! System announcement: the Emperor of the mysterious Dragon Kingdom has opened a special martial arts test to select talents. From today onwards, all players who have reached level 30 can register to participate in the martial arts test at the government offices of various cities. The rewards are generous. I hope that all players will not miss this opportunity!”
“Martial arts test?”Meng Jingtian was stunned for a moment before he suddenly understood, “Isn’t that just a one-on-one competition?”
Meng Jingtian smiled and logged off.
He was definitely going to participate in this combat examination. Even if it wasn’t for the reward, he was still eager to try. He wanted to see how far apart he was from the top experts in the game.
After resting for a night, Meng Jingtian entered the game early the next morning.
Just as he went online, he heard a series of system notifications.
...
“Ding! Congratulations! Mission completed!”
“You have obtained a divine weapon: Neltharion Crown!”
“You have obtained a divine skill book: Burning Sky Fire!”
“You have obtained 100,000 gold coins!”
“Ding! Level-up successful!”
..
The series of notifications almost confused Meng Jingtian, but he immediately came back to his senses and opened the mission panel to take a look.
As expected, the main mission was completed! It seemed that the temple of cool breeze village had been completed. No wonder it gave so many good things.
The next main mission, however, required level 50 to accept.
Meng Jingtian stopped cultivating and retreated to the side to look at the rewards given by the mission.
Once the main mission was completed, he had risen to Level 42 with the experience from the mission. With this series of rewards, he felt confident that he could go to the blood demon palace to take a look.
...
[ Neltharion Crown (low-level artifact) : artifact crafted by master blacksmith Xu Zhenren with his dragon horn. ].
[ attributes: defense + 1,000, Spirit + 20]
[ additional skill: Dragon’s roar of the nine heavens (active skill) : gives out an earth-shattering Dragon’s roar, causing a 3-second stun effect on enemies within a 200-meter radius. It also has a debuff of fear, reducing all attributes by 5% . ].
Cooldown time: 8 hours.”
As expected of a godly weapon! This attribute was simply heaven-defying in the early stages!
An AOE skill with a 200-meter radius! It was enough to ensure that Meng Jingtian could come and go freely within the “Army of ten thousand”. Moreover, the cooldown time was not too long for the skills that came with the equipment.
