161 Eager Beaver—Start to Train (2/2)
”Go ahead.”
”What do you think if Blue Princess and I also bought Ice Pythons as pets?”
Blue Princess nodded. She was also a long-ranged attack class, according to Qin Ruo's theory in the Pet Store, it was good for her to have a melee combat type pet which had high HP. Now she had seen the strength of the Ice Python. It not only matched the conditions that she needed, it also had the long-ranged attack capability. She got excited.
Seeing that Grandiose Dragon and Blue Princess's attitude were improving, Qin Ruo's tone became less aggressive. He replied in a friendlier manner, ”The Ice Python is very good in its own right. In my opinion, it could be suitable for many classes. But, it is mainly for the long-range class and support class. Blue Princess is okay… But for you, Brother Dragon, I suggest you pick an auxiliary monster, or a long-ranged attack magic type pet…”
”Why?”
Grandiose Dragon's brain started to melt as he patiently asked.
Qin Ruo rolled his eyes before explaining, ”Although the Ice Python has the long-ranged attack ability, its long-ranged attack strength is not as good as other same level magic type monsters. You are a melee fighter. It is difficult to take care of the overall situation when the battle begins. So it's better to use a magic type pet that is easier to command. Besides…”
He paused for a while. Then he looked Grandiose Dragon up and down and continued crudely, ”With your melee combat level, even if you had an Ice Python, you would not be able to give a good command. This means that its melee ability is probably useless.”
”…”
Grandiose Dragon's face turned solemn, but surprisingly there was no rebuttal. He was indeed a noob in terms of his melee attack ability. He even had nothing on Violetmoon Devilite's brother. Qin Ruo was telling the truth.
Qin Ruo looked at Grandiose Dragon's pale face and continued, ”If I were you and really want to be a pro in this game, I would go solo. You need to slowly practice and experience it for yourself while accumulating combat experiences and skills. If you just want to play casually to kill time and pick up chicks, then you may disregard my advice. You just need a mighty looking pet, aka the Vanity type.”
Violetmoon Devilite and Blue Princess stared at Grandiose Dragon silently, both worried. Violetmoon Devilite even quietly sent a voice message to Qin Ruo, ”Brother Qin, stop provoking him. Grandiose Dragon is quite egoistic… being so straightforward… he might not be able to bear it.”
”Hmph, that's because he's your friend and also your brother's friend. Otherwise, I would be too lazy to scold him. In the future, if you two play with him often, it is will probably incur hatred. If he can't stand it, then he only has one choice, delete the account and leave H&G.”

There was no response.
They reached a Yeti farming point in the depths of Snow Domain and started to grind.
The DPS dealer was not Qin Ruo, but Grandiose Dragon and Blue Princess. Qin Ruo's attacks were severely nerfed in the Snow Domain. He went there purely to train his skill's mastery points.
After Grandiose Dragon listened to Qin Ruo's suggestion, he had completely changed. Every time when a Yeti respawned, he immediately dashed forward. He fought the monsters one-on-one or sometimes even one-on-two. In that time, he did not drink any potion and put all his focus on his attacks.
Qin Ruo did not know whether Grandiose Dragon was having a great awakening or what, but since there was an eager beaver to hold up the monsters at the front, he was also happy to train his Tier 4 attack skill in the rear.
In the beginning, it took every three to four seconds for him to cast a spell. Now, he could cast a spell in two to three seconds. The increase in speed was all due to the mastery of the skill. Meanwhile, Qin Ruo's understanding of the Tier 4 spell could sometimes further increase the speed to just two seconds.
For example with Darkfrost Sting—because of the Snow Domain, he could directly extract the ice nearby to ”freeze” and then ”transfigure” the attack. In normal situations, it usually took at least four seconds to cast a spell. However, Qin Ruo gradually reduced it to only two seconds to cast the spell.
This breakthrough suddenly made Violetmoon Devilite who always paid close attention to Qin Ruo, feel very amazed and shocked.
”It is so fast!”
'Is this still a Tier 4 spell? How come a Tier 4 spell is cast in two seconds?' (The Snow Domain itself had a certain affinity to increase speed. Besides, Qin Ruo's equipment can increase speed by 25%. By disassembling the spell structure and omitting some steps, it can save time and decrease the casting time by almost half.)
Soon, Grandiose Dragon and Blue Princess slowly felt the same shock as Violetmoon Devilite. Originally, it took three to four seconds for Qin Ruo's skill to play out. But in later stages, Qin Ruo's magic was more frequent and quick. It reached an extent that shocked everyone.
Sometimes, Qin Ruo's Darkfrost Sting would hit a target and before Blue Princess's arrow skill was even released, Qin Ruo's attack landed again and it was still that high attack Tier 4 spell.
Although Qin Ruo did not deal much damage, it was so astonishing. This made people wonder how much damage it would deal if this magic with this frequency hit monsters that were not in the Snow Domain.
The rest of them followed proactively, trying their best to no disturb Qin Ruo's casting. At this moment, all of them were thinking the same thing—Qin Ruo's strength was undoubtedly strong. Especially in Grandiose Dragon's view, Qin Ruo who quickly condensed the Tier 4 spell, grew in stature in his mind. He secretly compared himself with Qin Ruo and finally concluded that in a one-on-one combat, he would be killed before he could even get close to Qin Ruo.
