Chapter 23 – He’s Mine (2/2)
“What do we have today?” She asked while tilting her head.
I smiled, “Red bean bun, milk, bread, help yourself~”
“Okay.”
Cheng Yue grabbed the breakfast from me and said, “Xiao Yao, don’t forget that tonight’s the dance party! Wait for us here at 6 P.M. Dinner is also served at the dance party!”
“Okay…”I nodded with a smile, “Then I’m leaving!”
“Wait!”
“What is it?”
She smiled, and says, “Just now, Wan Er told me that when both of us reach level 30, we’ll go and visit Ba Huang City and find you there. We’ll see what kind of mess you’ve got yourself into in Ba Huang City…”
I felt a bit awkward, “What.. What mess are you talking about? I’m just…going with the flow in Ba Huang City, there’s nothing wrong with that…. Oh right, Cheng Yue, what are your game IDs? I’ll join you when I get on!”
“No need, when we get to Ba Huang City, you’ll know who we are when you see us!”
Without waiting for me to say anything, she quickly ran up the stairs with her skirt, and a gust of wind passed… Ah, it was pink….
……
I set a goal for myself while returning to my place. Today’s mission: Reach level 22. After that, I would find my next path to fortune: The Killer Bees. Even though I had a seal for the Killer Bee, I needed to find the bees before I could actually seal it. Although I was a healer swordsman, my attack damage was not enough, so I needed to have a strong pet to compensate for this weakness!
Cha!
When I went online, I was at the job training center, so I turned around and left. I had a few hundred level 3 Seven-Star pills in my bag, which instantly restored 200 MP, which was more than enough for me.
At the northern entrance of Ba Huang City, near the forest, a Vampire Bat was roaming around. The little bats near the city had the lowest level, and their attacks were also one of the weakest out of all the monsters.
I walked in front of the bat with my sword in hand. The bat started rushing forward while chirping at me, and activated its blood-sucking attack, but it only took out 12 HP.
I raised my hand, and cast [Heal].
Cha!
“+12!”
My HP was back to full, and at the same time, I gained 1 skill experience point. By allowing the Vampire Bat to attack me repeatedly, I could cast [Heal] to gain more skill experience. Repeating this cycle for an hour or so, [Heal] and [Hemostasis] finally reached level 3. At this level, casting [Heal] recovered 450 HP, which was over my maximum points. [Hemostasis], on the other hand, recovered 150 HP, which was more suitable for me.
During the entire training process, countless amounts of players looked at me with pity, shaking their heads——
“Look, that healer is really an idiot, he’s not even retaliating against the bat!”
“He really is an idiot!”
“A shame, he is quite good looking!”
……
After finishing this mission, I smoothly killed all of the annoying bats with my sword, and then found a place under a tree to rest. I started looking through the forums, looking for information regarding the whereabouts of the Killer Bees. Not long after, my eyes landed on the name of a place on the map——Poisonous Grassland.
The Poisonous Grassland was south-east of Ba Huang City, roughly 15 minutes or so of traveling, and it consisted of level 22-25 monsters. Yesterday, there was a group of players who went there, and pointed out that the main monsters of the Poisonous Grassland were wasps, so there was a possibility that there might be some Killer Bees within them! Okay, let’s go!
I brought my supplies, repaired my equipment, and started to leave. The journey of an adventurer began!
I walked along a small road. After ten or so minutes, I saw a small forest full of sunshine, and I could also faintly hear humming sounds. It looked like I had arrived at the Poisonous Grassland!
“Ah, bro, run! Damn! These guys are vicious!”
Suddenly I heard cries in front, and I saw one elf archer holding a longbow flying out of the forest, but right behind him was a huge wasp, as big as a washbasin! The bee stung the elf in two quick successions on his body and two large damage numbers appeared——
“121！”
“240！”
The combo attack instantly killed the elf. After he died, the wasp slowly returned peacefully to where it was from. On the ground though, there was a berserker holding a battle axe, running for his life, with his face flustered, “What the hell?! Who said that the monsters here are easy prey? Our healer couldn’t even keep up with the damage! What should we do?!”
After saying that, he suddenly stopped, then flames appeared on his battle axe. He yelled, “Fire axe!”
Bang!
The wasp chasing him got knocked back, and received 221 damage. This was a Berserker’s level 10 skill, [Fire Axe]. It added fire damage to the next attack, but the wasp still had around 70% HP left. Its stinger suddenly started to glow – a golden hexagram! This move seemed familiar… Oh! It was a level 3 combo attack!
Shasha!
A LV-3 combo attack could attack 2-3 times, and this time the combo successfully pulled off all three attacks, totaling to a damage of 400. The berserker, who had all his points put into damage, had his 300 HP evaporated in an instant. He cried out while kneeling to his death. His level dropped down from 22 to 21… what a shame…
……
Shasha….
Stepping onto the grassland, I circled around the corpses, and avoided any players around the area. I didn’t care about any compromises or grouping up. I would enter deep into the Poisonous Grasslands by myself. I had superb healing skills and decent attack damage. 1v1ing a wasp shouldn’t even break a sweat!
