Chapter 101 – Noobs, Let’s Go! (2/2)
Just then, I slip in and cross my arms in front of the three of them, blocking their path.
“Huh?”
Old K, surprised, immediately circles around. I immediately extend my arm and block his way.
“Damn, you want to die?! I’m not in a good mood today!” Old K roars while preparing to whirl his axe.
……
I brush off the light from the Fire Beacon Helmet and reveal my face. I snicker: “Old K, you idiot. Who do you think you’re trying to fight?”
“I’ll say. Li Xiao Yao, you brat…” Old K laughs and inspects me: “Damn, what level are you? Your equipment is so cool…”
Song Han hesitates: “Did you really need to say that? If you search Ba Huang City’s rankings, Xiao Yao’s ranked 7th. Lv 45!”
Fox looks at me and nods: “Ah, Xiao Yao, he’s so high leveled. We Zhan Long Studio have such a bright banner of him. This will help us tremendously.”
Song Han holds his dagger: “Umm. Let’s first go to the skill instructor to learn the skills, then prepare to train, right?”
I put the three in my party and say: “You guys first go and find your job instructor to learn your basic skills. I’ll be in the plaza by the north gate waiting and prepare some things for you. “
“Alright!”
……
The three go straight to the job training area. I cruise over to the plaza near the North Gate. I need to give them good conditions for their leveling. First of all, they need a pet. A high quality pet is needed to assist in killing monsters. The Killer Bee should be the pet of choice. In Ba Huang City, there are more than a few stalls carrying them.
Going back and forth, finally, I select three level 1 Killer Bee’s with 70%+ excellency. Lv 10 players can carry them. Each of the bees are priced at 10 G, equivalent to 100 RMB. In one breath, I buy three and throw them into my storage. Then, looking everywhere for equipment, I eventually lock onto three pieces ——
【Piercing Bone Dagger]: Lv 20 Silver Dagger, Attack Power 75 – 145, Agility + 21, Endurance + 14, Cost 40 Gold
【Scorching Hot Gun]: Lv 19 Bronze Gun, Attack Power 37-95, Agility + 18, Cost 40 Gold
【Savage War Axe]: Lv 22 Silver Axe, Attack Power 90 – 180, Strength + 22, Endurance + 19, Cost 60 Gold
……
Dammit, for these three weapons, I spent my hard-earned saving. After I exchanged most of my gold in one go, I don’t have much leftover. Currently, in my bag, it looks like I have less than 100 gold. I still need money to buy HP pots and to repair equipment. The higher the equipment level, the higher the repair costs. Heavy armor is especially expensive to repair. I need to learn to live with this!
Then, after I bought some less than Lv 30 heavy and leather armors. Basically, I selectively picked those with high defense or add endurance. First, I need to guarantee they survive to ensure high leveling speed. After all, if I can’t keep them alive, then there’s no use in talking about leveling.
Not long after, all three return. Each with an expectant look. What’s so exciting about learning the basic skills…
Opening the trading window, I give each of them a Killer Bee and then say: “This is the deadliest pet in the early game. For now, just bring them with you and they’ll level at the same pace as you. Besides that, here are also some equipment you should put in storage. When you level up, you can equip them. After probably within a day of fighting, you’ll be able to equip them…”
As I hand over the equipment to them, all three of their faces light up. Song Han fiddles with the [Piercing Bone Dagger], smiling: “Woah. 145 attack power. It’s completely better than my 1-2 damage dagger that I have right now.
“Hurry and store it. I’ll also give you all 10 gold each. We’re preparing to leave the city. Tonight, our goal is to reach Lv 20. Maybe, Little Wolf, tonight you’ll be able to equip the Bone Piercing Dagger. With that attack damage, you won’t need me to carry you and you can level on your own!”
“Yes!”
……
Fox mutters to himself: “I thought of a problem…”
“What?” I ask.
“Our group has warriors, an assassin, and a musketeer. All we’re missing now is a healer. If the HP pots we bought don’t hold up, we might have no way of fighting…”
I couldn’t help but smile, as I lift my hand, my [Heal] falls over Fox’s head: “What is this?”
Fox shocked, says: “Damn…. this brat’s playing nanny to the whole guild…”
Song Han chuckles: “Okay. Let’s depart. I can’t wait anymore!”
“Yup!”
As I lead the three rookies out Ba Huang City’s main gate, I consider for a while, what level monster should they use to level. They’re all Lv 10. I can’t do most of the damage and I also won’t be able to party with them. Since my level is too high, I’d snatch more than 99% of the experience in the party and they’ll practically get none. That method’s slower than them killing monster on their own.
After thinking for a while, the only way was for them to start attacking a monster and after each of them took out 5% of the monster’s HP, I can come in and provide the killing blow. Because, under Destiny’s parameters, in order to obtain experience from a monster, the attacks need to damage at least 5% of the total HP of monster. That way, the entire team can obtain the full 100% of the experience without me taking too much.
After contemplating the plan, I set the target as the Lv 22 Ashen Bears in Ba Huang forest. They surpass them by 11 levels, so they might be able to damage it. After all, I already gave them all Lv 10 Green Tier equipment. This shouldn’t be a problem!
TL: Apparently Xiao Yao did that – Not a translation error.
……
The low leveled monster regions are flooded with players. After the second batch of 500W helmets were sold, another frenzied wave of leveling had begun. As I took the three rookies deeper into a high level monster area, there were fewer and fewer players around. This is what I want.
“Rawr…”
In the distance, an Ashen Bear raises his head and roars. Song Han mutters to himself: “Crap. A Lv 22 monster? This isn’t a joke, right?”
I smile: “No. I’ll agro it first, and you three form a party. That way I won’t take your experience. But remember, in a while, I’ll let the monster hit me. Then, I’ll heal. When I’ve pulled all the agro onto me, that’s when you strike. Understand?”
“Yup.” The three nod.
