Chapter 014 - Hidden Strength

Qin Haonan has been killing monsters in the "Valley of Fire" for half an hour, and 500 flame demons have been killed, he looked at the demon fire in his backpack, and collected 280 of them, and there are still 20 to complete the task. You have to be quicker, or you won't be able to get back in time to hand in the task.

"Linglong, Erbai, we have to work harder to increase the speed of killing monsters a little more." Qin Haonan commanded, set up his long sword, and a [Return Wind Sword] swept out, and the three flame demons were instantly lured over. Erbai pounced without hesitation, blocking the attack for his master, and with a few quick claws grabbing forward, a flame demon turned into ashes and burst out of a demon fire.

"Look at Lao Tzu's [White Tiger Claw]!" The divine beast Erbai was ready to exert his might, and a skill was thrown, and a number of "-550" floated on the opponent's head, directly killing a flame demon in seconds.

Since Erbai has been promoted to level 10, Linglong, the little guy, is no longer willing to work as a coolie. She will never come forward in the matter of killing enemies, she always hides behind Qin Haonan and takes up the profession of a healer. Seeing that someone's blood groove was less than 50%, a [Rejuvenation Mantra] was thrown over in time, and the whole battle was neither shocking nor dangerous.

After more than forty minutes of fighting monsters, Qin Haonan at this time was already level 13, Linglong was level 12, and Erbai had just been promoted to level 11. The experience value of this skipping level to fight monsters is a lot more than usual, and it is often 2 times that of normal monsters. With the two powerful bodyguards of Linglong and Erbai, Qin Haonan can completely take the route of leapfrogging and fighting monsters in the future. Look at Linglong's [Rejuvenation Mantra] that has been practiced to level 3, as well as the [White Tiger Claw] of Erbai Level 2 (the skill upgrade of the contract beast does not require skill points, only according to the number of times the skill is used), Qin Haonan is a swordsman, which is equivalent to bringing a powerful healer and a powerful overlord sword with explosive attack power.

"Alright, call it a day." Qin Haonan packed the 300 demon fires he had hit, and casually gave Linglong and Erbai a beast a "glutinous rice balls (pet rations)". After fighting for such a long time, his pet also needs to eat.

"Master, didn't you learn the [pet breeder] profession from Erbai? Don't always fool us with the pet rations we scavenged from Erbai, you should cook it yourself and improve our meal. Linglong kept complaining while eating glutinous rice balls.

It's better to be white, only know how to eat, and don't complain.

"Linglong, you also know that the master is poor now, where can I have the money to go out and buy ingredients? It's hard for a good woman to cook without rice, and when I develop in the future, I will definitely let you eat well. Qin Haonan said helplessly, and symbolically rummaged through his pockets.

Xiao Linglong pursed her lips with disgust, and after eating the glutinous rice dumplings, she flew up and floated around. "Mom sat in front of the door, humming flowers and boys. Although it has been many years, I remember her tears rippling. Those dark times, those persistence and panic. At the parting door, my mother looked at me and said. Life is not only about the present, but also about poetry and distant fields, and you came to the world with your bare hands, desperate to find that sea......"

Hey, this little guy is still singing. In particular, the sentence "Life is not only about the immediate Gou, but also about poetry and distant fields", which was repeatedly sung in Qin Haonan's ears. Linglong, is she trying to reflect her state of mind at this time? Qin Haonan felt extremely helpless. This pet of your own, and you are starting to fight against yourself?

"Alright, alright, now that I've finished eating. Let's get back to the task. Qin Haonan sometimes even feels that when she is with Linglong, she is the master.

……

Returning to "Azure Town", Qin Haonan found the blacksmith master as soon as possible, looked at the game display time, and there were still 3 minutes left to time out, but fortunately he caught up.

"Master, the demon fire you want has been gathered." Qin Haonan handed over 300 demon fires to the blacksmith.

"Ding Dong, congratulations to the player, you have completed the 'Demon Fire Mission' and get rewards: experience points +1000, 2 triple experience charms, and 3 gold coins."

"Haha, little brother is good, he actually collected all the demon fires within the specified time. But this is still not enough, the other day I went to the Valley of Flames to look for materials, and my most beloved forging hammer was robbed by the Flame Demon King. I need you to travel to the depths of the Valley of Flames to slay the Demon Lord and reclaim my Forge Hammer. ”

"Okay, it's going to be done." Qin Haonan replied.

"System prompt: You have received the 'Retrieve Forge Hammer Mission', time limit: 2 hours."

Qin Haonan walked around Tianqing Town, sold what should be sold, and went to the grocery store to buy 5 packs of "Ecstasy Incense", 50 bottles of gold sore medicine (blood tonics), and 50 bottles of qi tonifying pills (qi replenishment), and then set off towards the Valley of Flames again.

"Linglong, Erbai, come out to help." As soon as he arrived at the Valley of Fire, Qin Haonan summoned two contract beasts.

"I was just about to get a beauty night's sleep, and you woke me up, master." Linglong reluctantly dragged Erbai out of the pet space, with a sad face.

"Alright, little ancestor. It's time to get to work. As he spoke, Qin Haonan tore open a triple experience talisman and prepared to increase his experience quickly and safely.

The "Demon Fire Mission" and "Retrieving the Forging Hammer Mission" that Qin Haonan received this time were the only tasks issued by the blacksmiths of Azure Town, which meant that there would be no second person who would receive the same task again. As the only mission, the difficulty coefficient is naturally relatively high, but the rewards are also the most generous among the tasks of the same stage. In the future, it is with this task that the player "Iron Hammer God General" learns a superb forging technique and becomes the first blacksmith master in the "Century" online game. Qin Haonan still remembers that after he saw the sharing of this task by the "Iron Hammer General" in the forum later, he couldn't help but sigh why he didn't have such good luck and was able to become a rich armor by striking iron?

Qin Haonan ate three times the experience and killed all the way to the depths of the Flame Valley.

At this moment, the nice system sound sounded again.

"Ding Dong ~ World Announcement: Dear all players, in 1 minute, the "Century" China Player Ranking will be opened, please get ready~"

"This time flies so fast, from the first player to come out of the novice village, it's been 6 hours." Qin Haonan sighed to himself.

"System Prompt: Players are like a dream, you are now at level 13 (99% experience), and you will be ranked first in the player level leaderboard in China. Due to the special attributes of the Beast Master Set: Mithril Thousand Illusions, do you want to hide your level on the leaderboard? ”

"Hidden." Qin Haonan chose without hesitation.

"System prompt: Players are like a dream, and your pet Linglong (Nuwa) will be ranked first in the player pet ranking in China. Since [Beast God Set: Mithril Thousand Illusions] has special attributes, do you want to hide her strength from the leaderboard? ”

"Hidden."

"System prompt: Players are like a dream, and your pet Erbai (White Tiger) will be ranked second in the player pet ranking in China. Since [Beast Master Set: Mithril Thousand Illusions] has special attributes, do you want to hide his strength on the leaderboard? ”

"Hidden."

"System Prompt: Players are like a dream, and your equipment [Beast God Set: Mithril Thousand Illusions] will rank first in the player equipment ranking in China. Since the Beast Master Set: Mithril Thousand Illusions has special attributes, do you want to hide its attributes from the leaderboards? ”

"Hidden."

……

A series of prompts popped up, and Qin Haonan couldn't help but sigh, do you want to become the "first" professional household? How many of these firsts are waiting for themselves to hide. I don't have the heart to look at them one by one, so I click all to hide. Now he wants to hide his strength, and these false names seem to be indifferent now. Qin Haonan understands that the online game "Century" is different from ordinary games, due to the scanning of DNA, the real appearance of the player is completely restored, and the virtual is too real, and it is not a good thing to expose his strength too early. He remembered the report after the release of "Century" before the time crossed, after the player reached level 30, all kinds of equipment grabbing, pet grabbing, and malicious PK used to make the whole game chaotic for a while.

What's more, the grievances in the game are all involved in reality. Some powerful families don't care, but they can't stand it. This situation did not improve slightly until the first full upgrade of the game.

Qin Haonan decided that when he was completely strong in the later stage, he would naturally show his strength in front of people. As for now, he doesn't want to get involved in some boring disputes too soon.
