Early in the morning, with a cup of soy bean milk in my hands, I read the newspaper laid upon the table while sipping on the soy milk.
Beside me, Lin Wan Er was also grabbing onto a cup of soy bean milk while nibbling on a piece of bread. The bright sunlight scattered upon her beautiful shoulders, giving out a charming glow. Dong Cheng Yue, with a stack of books in her arms asked, “Are you both really planning to skip Programming class this afternoon?”
Lin Wan Er nodded her head and smiled radiantly, “I have already achieved a grade 3 in that subject. Furthermore I have heard rumors that the professor is a kind old man that never takes attendance. I’m planning to take a walk in the valleys of Fan Shu City and see whether if I can seal any upper tier pets; hopefully I get a pet that has an Excellence above 90%.”
Dong Cheng Yue clenched her fist and said, “Hmph so our school idol is actually a delinquent. Li Xiao Yao, what about you? Are you going to the Programming class with me?”
I couldn’t help but smile, “I think I’ll pass as well. I just reached level 32. I am planning to rush to level 35 today. Yan Zhao Warrior, Q Sword, and Jian Feng Han those bunch of people are about to reach 40 aren’t they? If I were to lag behind I would surely be bullied… Oh right, is there anything in the school news today?
Dong Yue Cheng blinked her eyes, “Nothing special, why?”
“Oh, it’s nothing.”
I lowered my head and continued reading the paper. Looks like my attack on Wen Tai Lai yesterday had yet to spread. This was good in a way for me as well. But, Wen Tai Lai was associated with the underground world; this kind of news would never see daylight. The university was filled with the people who were filled with hopes and dreams. Who would really bother themselves with the fights in the underground world? This was for the best. I could peacefully spend my time in the game.
… …
Finally, Dong Cheng Yue gave in and decided to skip classes as well to accompany Lin Wan Er in her quest to find her pet. As for me, I decided to go online and continue on my path as the Scavenger of Dragon City. Today was a brand new day and I wondered if the Dragon City had any new quests for me.
Returning to the dormitory, I went to the toilet for a moment before going online.
“Swoosh”
I appeared in the game dressed in brand new armor while holding my Jade City Sword. Not far from my location I saw the tent of Beast Tamer Dalin. The holes in the roof of his tent were as numerous as the stars in the night sky. However, Dalin came from primitive tribes so he would pay no heed to little details such as this. I only hoped that he would not bring back an Orc wife…
Looking at my skill tree, my trip yesterday to Ba Huang City wasn’t in vain. First, I had earned 15000 RMB. Second, I had also learned several new skills from the Swordsman Instructor. Just as I expected, the Scavenger of Dragon City job was recognized by the Swordsman Instructor. The 2 skills I learned appeared in my skill tree —
【Haste LV-1]：Mana cost: 10, Increase attack speed by 2% and movement speed 1% Duration: 15 seconds.
【Defense LV-1]：Mana cost: 50, Increase defense by 1%
……
On the surface, these skills only augment my basic stats, but they were essential skills. Haste increased my attack speed and movement speed. A LV 10 【Haste] could increase my attack speed by 20% and movement speed by 10%, making it an important tool for chasing and escaping. As for 【Defense], it was a skill that worked only when I was standing still. If LV 1 【Defense] increased my defense by 1%, then LV 10 【Defense] would increase my defense by 10%. At higher levels, the effects of these skills would become more apparent, thus making these skills essential for survival.
These 2 skills were ranked C.
On a side note, the Swordsman had another basic skill, Heavy Strike. But I was unable to learn that skill. This was due to the fact that one of the requirements in learning 【Wind Blade]was to forgo the chance of learning【Heavy Strike]. Fortunately, 【Wind Blade] had 3 times the damage output of 【Heavy Strike], thus alleviating my disappointment.
Today I was going to grind 【Haste] and 【Defense] to LV 4, so that my overall prowess is greatly boosted.
……
Carrying the Jade City Sword I steadily walked towards Beast Tamer Dalin and respectfully said, “Teacher, are there any quests for me today?”
Dalin was using a tree branch to floss his teeth and with a “pui” spit out a monster bone with a radius of 5 cm. Then with a “hehe” laughter, he said, “Lad, you are improving swiftly. Since this is the case, help me chase away the Orcs from the southern forest of Dragon City. These indescribably dirty Tigermen are simply too vile. They have already consecutively robbed us of our supplies three times. Go there and find the camp of the Tigermen and destroy their entire camp. Kill at least 1000 of these Tigermen and afterwards I will bestow upon you great rewards and honor!”
I nodded my head and said, “Yes, teacher!”
“Ding!”
System Notice: Received quest 【Exterminating Tigermen]！（Quest Grade: A）
Quest Description: Head towards the southern forests and look for the Orcs’ brethren -Tigermen’s camp and kill 1000 Tigermen before reporting back to Beast Tamer Dalin. When executing the mission, do exercise great caution as the Tigermen are incomparably vicious and possess great might; a misstep could cost you your life. Hundreds of adventurers have already lost their lives from their sharp claws.
……
A quest grade of A, this would surely prove to be difficult. This also meant that the level and abilities of the Tigermen were above mine. Fortunately my skills and equipment were sturdy. Let’s go!
Baby Bobo shook his stinger and flew gracefully towards me, landing on my shoulders. Together with my big yellow bee, I headed off!
Heading south through the verdant greens protected forests of Dragon City for around 10 minutes, another new field appeared before me and the system notice warned —
“Ding!”
System Notification: The area ahead is classified as a danger zone. In recent times, the Orc tribe began a large scale migration from the wilderness and a large group of Orcs are currently resting at the forest ahead!
Raising my head, I unsheathed the Jade City Sword and with the shake of my arms Baby Bobo flew up and entered battle mode.
“Roar!”
