Chapter 50 (1/2)
After obtaining the Virus Skill Book, Fatty felt pleasantly surprised.
This was because when he had been farming the Poison Dart Frogs, he had been wondering if there was an AoE skill to help him pull the monsters in a line, which would be the best option. His wish had come true.
The Virus Skill had an Enfeebling effect that reduced the target’s attack. However, the most useful part was its spreading effect, which could save Fatty the trouble of constantly using his skills.
He was the only Venomancer in the party, so he kept this Skill Book without hesitation.
The party had been formed in a hurry, so he hadn’t had the time to adjust the allocation mode. Therefore, the system’s default party leader allocation mode was used. According to this mode, the items were allocated based on the players’ respective classes.
The four remaining Crafting Blueprints did not include a Cloth Armor Blueprint that Fatty could use. Thus, they were all allocated to Night Blood Phoenix and the others. In the end, he only obtained the last enchantment formula.
It was a Novice Health Enchantment Formula used to add 50 permanent HP to a weapon. Although it was common, it should sell for a good price.
After the items were allocated, Night Blood Phoenix asked Fatty, “What do you plan to do next?”
“I still have a quest!” Fatty then added, “I’ll be farming Poison Dart Frogs.”
“Oh, we’ll take our leave then!” Night Blood Phoenix said. “We also have some quests, but we have to go a little deeper into the swamps to kill the Quagmire Puppet.”
It was no wonder that he had met them here. Fatty now understood.
Besides Night Blood Phoenix, both Night Sweetie and Night Stroll added Fatty as a friend before they parted ways. Fatty was going to farm the Poison Dart Frogs that were located at the entrance of the swamp. On the other hand, Night Blood Phoenix and the rest had to enter the swamp for their quest, which was not in the same direction.
After leaving, Night Stroll told Night Blood Phoenix, “It looks like he’s a closed beta player, right?”
“I don’t think so!’ After pondering it for a while, Night Blood Phoenix shook his head and said, “If there was such a player during the closed beta period, we would have known!”
“Would he change his name, Brother?” Night Sweetie asked.
“I don’t know!” Night Blood Phoenix said, “To be honest, when I saw him draw away three Bosses with that crowd control method so that he wouldn’t be besieged, I was taken aback!”
“Plus…” Night Blood Phoenix added, “It has only been a few hours since the server was launched yesterday and most of the players are at Level 5 or 6. However, he obtained a Level 10 Skill Book. I suspect that he has killed a boss or something like that and managed to obtain it. Since he’s alone, if he didn’t have any skills, how could he have killed the Boss?”
“Will you pull him into the guild then?” Night Sweetie asked. “We can’t let go of such a talented player.”
“We’ll ask him!” Night Blood Phoenix added, “If he really is a closed beta player, we can ask him for help when we’re clearing the guild creation quest!”
Apart from Night Blood Phoenix and the rest, another group of players was also talking about Fatty.
After the group of players from the Owl Wolf Guild returned, they immediately told Guild Master Red Wolf about their meeting with Night Blood Phoenix. When Red Wolf heard that, his face sank. A moment later, he said, “So the Venomancer was alone when you guys met him at first?”
“Yes!” As soon as he mentioned Fatty, the players couldn’t help but say, “If it wasn’t for him, we would have killed the Boss long ago.”
“Chicken Sugar?” Red Wolf thought about this name. “I seem to know that name. Oh! That’s right. It’s the guy who pushed down our dungeon ranking!”
“Yes! It’s him!” When Red Wolf mentioned this, the players also recalled.
In fact, although he hadn’t said anything, Red Wolf was somewhat annoyed that he had been pushed down by a party led by an unknown guy on the ranking list. He had inquired about this player and later realized that he seemed to be a well-known forging personage. He’d heard that Fatty had forged two Superior Rank weapons.
Now that he’d heard that this guy mingled with Night Blood Phoenix, Red Wolf had a premonition that he was trouble.
