Chapter 1: Dreams Set Sail
The body bowed slightly, the footsteps moved slightly, sneaked to touch the monster's back, and slammed his hand, the action was like a dragon out of the water, and the monster had not had time to react, and had been killed.
For three days, Xie Lang has been practicing the skills of stealth and smothering. As a novice gamer, I had never had any gaming experience before entering the new virtual online game "Engrei", and I never thought that I would enter the virtual online game one day.
"Here, too, you have the opportunity to touch your dreams."
This is the advertising slogan of "Engre", such a simple sentence, but it captures Xie Lang's heart: dreams, can they really be touched? So I spent nearly half a year of my savings to buy the game helmet of this virtual online game and officially became a member of the "Engre" army.
As he spoke, another slime came into Sheron's line of sight.
This kind of little monster that is only level 1, has almost no attack power, and its defense is also very low, but it is extremely flexible, and many people would rather form a team to challenge the third-level bat monster or the fourth-level steppe wolf than provoke these little guys.
But for Xie Lang, such a little monster is a good object for practice.
According to the convention, Xie Lang turns on stealth, and his body enters a semi-invisible state, stealth does not mean disappearing, and the range of action is too large, which will reveal flaws and be seen through, resulting in stealth failure. At first, Xie Lang was not used to stealth movements, he felt very awkward, and he couldn't do standard movements, so the failure rate of stealth was very high, but fortunately, the slime was only the lowest monster, so he didn't encounter any danger. After three days of practice, Xie Lang was already familiar with it.
The slime's writhing chubby body instinctively jumped around, unaware of the danger approaching quietly. One step, two steps, Xie Lang suddenly burst out, with lightning speed, smothered his hand, and the dagger completely sank into the back of the slime, causing fifteen points of attack damage and two seconds of stun.
The slime's blood volume was not much, only forty points, and Xie Lang only needed a few slashes to empty its remaining blood volume, and his chubby body was like a deflated balloon, lying limply on the ground.
"A copper coin!" Shaeron threw the copper coin he had found from under the slime's corpse into his backpack, and when he looked at it, there were already nine silver coins in the backpack.
The currencies in circulation in Engre are mainly gold, silver and copper, and the ratio is that one gold coin is equal to one hundred silver coins and ten thousand copper coins.
"There's one silver coin left to level up!" After three days of practice, the skill proficiency points of stealth and stunling have been increased to 100% two hours ago, but they haven't gotten together the funds needed to upgrade, and both skills require five silver coins to upgrade, thinking about the efforts of these three days, all of them must belong to the obscene assassin mentor, and he secretly cursed in his heart "It's really black"!
The slime level is too low, only copper coins are dropped, and equipment is not lost, and it takes about two hours for a silver coin, and you have to obediently farm monsters.
After two hours, I finally had enough of the remaining silver coin, and immediately set off to return to the town to upgrade my skills.
Sheron's birthplace is the small town of Aiper. The town of Aiper is a border town in the city of Bunanna, from the scattered ancient European buildings in the town can still be seen its glory at the beginning, the ruthless war will destroy and devour it step by step, and finally it will be a deserted place with few traces, until more than 100 years after the end of the war, it gradually regained its vitality and became today's Aipo Town.
Return to the town of Epper and head straight to the Mentor of the Assassins.
"Hello! I'm here to learn Intermediate Stealth Skills and Intermediate Smothering Skills! "Xie Lang spoke very politely. NPC intelligence is highly anthropomorphic is a major feature of virtual online games, and it can even make people unable to distinguish whether it is a player or an NPC, if the words are not careful, it is likely to cause NPC dissatisfaction, and no one wants to go against powerful NPCs, especially professional mentors.
The Mentor of the Assassins in the town of Epper was a lean old man, not tall, but his eyes were bright, especially his hands, which looked as thin as withered vines, and Sheron preferred to believe that they were a pair of bloodthirsty talons.
The Assassin Mentor opened his eyelids slightly and glanced at Xie Lang, and said in a low voice: "I didn't expect someone to come to learn intermediate skills so soon, I thought it would be at least a week later!" The voice was not loud, but Xie Lang listened to it completely, it seemed that no one had come to upgrade his skills before. But it's normal to think about it.,The average player will take leveling up as the main task.,Kill relatively high-level monsters.,It's not like Xie Lang.,Tirelessly brush the lowest-level monster over and over again.。
"Learning Intermediate Stealth and Intermediate Stunting requires increasing the proficiency points of both skills to 100%, and paying five credits for each skill!" The Mentor of the Assassins briefly explained the conditions for upgrading.
Xie Lang handed over the only ten silver coins in his backpack to the Assassin Mentor, and returned to a state of destituteness.
The Assassin Mentor handed over two skill books to Xie Lang, namely Intermediate Stealth and Intermediate Stunting, and then crushed the skill books, and the two skills were also upgraded from beginner to intermediate, and the effect of the skills was also improved.
Intermediate Stealth: Turns self invisible for 40 seconds, can be seen through, and has a cooldown of 1 minute.
Medium Stunge: Attacks the target from behind, dealing physical damage and stunning the target for three seconds and a one-minute cooldown.
The skill is upgraded, and Xie Lang plans to challenge the stronger monsters, after all, the benefits of killing slimes are too small, and for Xie Lang, this kind of small monster is not much difficult.
I took a look at the upgrade experience.,It's now two-level 78% experience.,It should be able to upgrade to level three before dark.,It's a pity that all the money is used to upgrade skills.,Otherwise, you can change to a better dagger at that time.,The speed of killing monsters should be much faster.。 After reaching the fifth level, you can learn a new skill, so that your strength can be improved again.
Although I don't have much experience in the game, I still have to have a plan and goal in mind, and I can't run around like a headless fly.
The third-level bat monster on the forest side, Xie Lang didn't know how to operate before, and he suffered losses there, so he didn't dare to touch it, but now he has accumulated some combat experience, and the two skills have also been improved, so he decided to try his luck.
From the periphery of the forest, it is lush and natural, but when you walk inside, you find that the dense canopy is connected, covering the whole forest from the wind, and the light is very dark, and there is always an eerie feeling when you walk in the forest.
Two scarlet photoelectric lights wandered not far away, Xie Lang had suffered here before, and he would not fail to recognize that it was the eyes of bats.
Sneak.
The body fades into obscurity and merges with its surroundings.
One step, two steps, Xie Lang's steps are very light, and the bat monster has a certain ability to detect stealth, so the range of action cannot be too large. There were still about three yards away from the bat monster, and Xie Lang felt that the time had come.
Smothering.
The dagger sank into the batbolt's back, dealing twelve attack damage and stunting it.
The mid-level backstab can stun the target for three seconds, and Xie Lang will not let go of this good opportunity, slashing twice in a row with a flat slash, causing a total of seventeen attack damage.
The batmonster had sixty HP, and in just a few seconds, it had knocked out half of its blood.
Soon, the bat monster woke up, flapped its wings and flew up. Its attack power is very strong, even if only half of its blood is left, Xie Lang does not dare to take it lightly, and the bat monster adjusts its state and launches a counterattack. Seeing the opportunity, it dodged sideways, and attacked several times in succession, finally completely emptying its blood.
After only taking a single attack and killing the Bat Monster, Xie Lang was quite satisfied with the attack. I think I came here by mistake when I first started the server, and in the face of the attack of the bat monster, it was completely chaotic, and I didn't know what to do at all, and finally ended up with a heroic end.
Fortunately, I finally saved a little face today.
Not far away, the scarlet eyes of the other bat monster kept shaking in the dark, but Xie Lang was not in a hurry to attack, after all, the attack of the bat monster was stronger than that of monsters of the same level, and if he was not careful, with Xie Lang's fragile defense and blood, he would probably repeat the scene two days ago. It wasn't until the cooldown of the skill had passed that Xie Lang took action, and in just a few turns, he harvested the life of the bat monster. I saw a flash of light under the bat monster's corpse, touched it, and put two copper coins into my hands.
In successive battles, Xie Lang won with ease, although his level was raised by one level, and he also improved the two skills of stealth and smothering from beginner to intermediate, but in general, his own attributes did not change much, but the combat has changed dramatically, he felt that this was an improvement, at least in terms of combat, it was not as jerky as it was at the beginning.
Xie Lang was only intoxicated by the battle, and suddenly there was a ding dong, and the sound of upgrading came from the system, only to realize that he had been fighting for a long time.
The upgrade took place sooner than expected. The higher the level of the monster, the higher the income.,Even this rookie who hasn't touched the game at all knows this truth.,I only hate my lack of strength.,There's no ability to kill more advanced monsters.。
Each level of improvement can obtain five free attribute points, which can be freely allocated to the six attributes of strength, agility, concentration, constitution, intelligence, and spirit according to the player's wishes.
Xie Lang didn't know which direction to go to, so he simply added all the attribute points obtained by upgrading to agility, anyway, assassins can't be wrong with agility, and after learning more about the game in the future, they will make up for other attributes as needed.
It was getting dark, and it was time to head back to the city. Visibility at night is much worse than during the day, and more advanced monsters are prone to appear, so it is very dangerous to wander alone in the wild.
Walking out of the forest, the light outside is much brighter, although the sunset on the horizon, but the afterglow reflects the sunset, this intoxicating picture, I am afraid that it can only be seen in virtual games.
Suddenly, Xie Lang found a player's corpse lying on the ground not far away, this should have been the refresh place of the slime, those chubby guys are harmless to humans and animals, it can't be that they did it.
Xie Lang smelled a smell of danger.
