Chapter 8 - The Price of Underestimation (1/2)

Chapter 8 – The Price of Underestier, Nie Yan had begun to walk outside Lowering his head, he took a glance at his skill bar There were only two skills there: Stealth, and Vital Strike

A perfect Thief should have numerous skills piled up at their disposal A Thief could make do without equipment; however, they absolutely could not do without skills

Of the several areas where Thief skill books could be farame, Nie Yan knew all of them like the back of his hand However, he would be unlikely to take the great effort and pain of far them out If a skill book could be farht in the marketplace

inner skill books?</ee to forget that?</eards to classes such as a Thieves, if they wanted to possess sustainable fighting strength they would often select either Alche allowed a player to , etc… In the middle of a battle, a health potion—that could instantly restore lost health—was tantamount to a second life for a player Afterwards when a battle was over, drinking a recovery potion allowed a player to quickly restore their health and throw the their training speed as well As for the Bandaging skill, in co—the co a skirmish

Nie Yan knew of a location where a rare skill, Coe, it could be used while in coher levels, if a person wished to purchase her-tiered health or recovery potions froe After all, their prices were quite costly—for most players, health and recovery potions were iteaps between their teeth Unless one were rich, the average player wouldn’t be seen co health, or recovery, potions

However, Nie Yan was different—his head was filled with many ways to earn money quickly and easily He didn’t need to worry about s he could easily buy from the marketplace Thus, it wasn’t necessary for hi However, if he learned this Coreatly enhance his survivability Thinking to this, Nie Yan suddenly had an idea

I’ll put that off for later I should learn the Combat Medic skill first</eht two Basic Underwater Breathing Pills froht after, he rushed towards Lake Rando which wasn’t too far of a distance froh several Level 2–3 areas, he had met many players that had forion in their own area Warriors, Paladins, etc… all these close-coht afterwards, the Mage would unleash an unceasing barrage of spells towards thesetheir own Priest Most Priests didn’t currently have the Heal skill—their ability to deal daes either For the most part, they were dirty experience leeches Despite this, every team still looked for a Priest as if they were a hot corowth or developood relationshi+p with their Priest Lacking a Priest was the sa an endless supply of health potions

As for Thieves, in the early stages of the game, many Thieves would be easily dumped by their tea speed As long as they purchased all of the necessary skills they required, a Thief’s training speed would not be inferior to a Mage’s in any aspect So, it wouldn’t be much of a loss if they couldn’t join a tea in the variousHowever, these players could still chat with each other Thus, the time would pass quite quickly when they chatted on idly

Nie Yan carefully passed through these areas where players were training because a lot of struggles would occur between players for certain training spots If a player killed other players, they would receive a penalty with their na city walls as well Having their names marked red meant other players could kill them without fear of recourse Their loss of levels upon death would be even harsher, and every single piece of equiph, if that player killedon their name would eventually disappear Despite this, many players would still frequently take this risk for the sake of stealing another player’s equiphtest, they would kill others for their equip their name et strangers in the wilderness far away fro alone

Lake Rando… this area was inhabited by Fish to rumours, these Fisha After countless generations, they finally developed into their current form They possessed the body of a fish, and four limbs just like a human The weapons they employed for attacks were their sharp teeth and the tridents they held in their hands

Fishmen were Level 3 monsters that heavily populated the area with their massive nue within the vicinity It was necessary for Nie Yan to pass through the borders of the village to enter Lake Rando Afterwards, he would need to swih the lake to arrive at his destination

Situated by the lakeside of Lake Rando was the Fishe with its several hundred wooden huts scattered sporadically by the sandy edges of the lakeshore This Fishe contained at least three hundred or so Fishmen, several tens of Fishmen Leaders, and two Elite Fishmen If one wanted to clear this area, they’d need at least a thousand players orto activate Stealth to bypass the Fish out

Local Announce to clear this location in three e, please depart immediately

Victorious Return? Nie Yan raised his eyebrow In his previous life, he and the guild Victorious Return had a few run-ins and festivities together… Victorious Return’s people ran raantly They’d clear the path and kill everyone in it whenever they wanted to A long tio,one of Nie Yan’s brothers killed three members frouild forcing hie was pillared doith those fro after hihtered back to Level 0 Nie Yan’s and the others’ strength was still pretty weak back then, thus he could only hide deep within the ravines in the e He continued to level up and trained like a madman for over a h did he dare to come out Even then, he was still barely able to defend himself In the end, he never dared to have a direct open confrontation with a big guild like Victorious Return

it up

In this life, that sort of history absolutely won’t repeat itself This debt would definitely be one that I’ll have repaid in full However, it won’t be today, for now…</earadually accumulate his wealth bit by bit

Immediately, he turned and ran towards the lakeside

As he looked ahead of hi with the reflection of the azure sky The lake gleamed and sparkled as the sun’s rays illuminated the top of the crystalline clear waters

Victorious Return’s players hadthe area There were many areas in the vicinity where one could discover the movements of Victorious Return’s people They definitely did not co to begin their operation on the Fishe wasn’t an instance, but rather a spawning ground for ate These types of places would also frequently drop decent iterove of trees, arriving at about two hundred meters away froh the sky, launching towards Nie Yan’s location

As the ball of fire flashed, Nie Yan’s line of sight shi+fted past the grove of trees His eyes fell upon the body of an Ele player was a Level 3 Elees were divided into three types of classes: Elees Ele—their poas the eleht and finally, there were the Holy Mages They were the least selected class Their skills were the most difficult to train in, but their poas definitely the strongest They could cast and unleash the power of divine spells

The killing power of fire spells was the highest a the spells at an Elementalist’s disposal

By the time Nie Yan had noticed the fireball, it was already too late

「Booh Nie Yan’s health, as his health bar plu player Violet Flaiti across a Mage, you either run up to thee them in close quarters co there were no other players from Victorious Return nearby, Nie Yan dashed towards the Eley was to reat of a distance froic spells

The Ele the spell Flaain Afterwards, he turned around and fled in an atte incoe the spell by rolling However, if they dodged the spell by rolling, they would undoubtedly give the opposing Eleain some distance Nie Yan directly confronted the Elee forward

「Boo him to lose twenty-seven points of health

Each time Violet Fla of the spell
