Chapter 19: Farming Levels (1/2)
[Sherloth road south of the Safe Zone Delta]
Jin was walking and trying to find if there are people that are left in that place. And then he heard screams from the distance. He rushed towards one of the ruins to check, and there he saw a glimpse of a battle between a group of players. And a huge orc, the orcs appearance was a colored grey skin tone and two large front teeth, it's physique were commendable its muscles were big enough to lift a whole bus.
Jin whispered ”Open Inventory” and a blue tab appeared in front of him. As he looked at the open slots he taps the magazine and there an information sheet appeared. [Current Magazine number: 26] ``26 magazines left, I should take some quest from the task objective tab. Heh roaming around and doing rogue killings really don't do much``
Jin left the ruins and his position and then tap the task objective tab in his upper right corner. After tapping that a Blue tab appeared.
[OBJECTIVE UPDATE BLOOD BULLET: Taking On! ]
{You need to eliminate 30 ghouls and 3 volcanic minions}
EXP: 4900 GOLD: 900
``So it really gave a mission to finish well then it will be nice to refund my gold and buy new armor for myself and to enjoy the luxury of being a player.`` Jin smirked ``they are not coordinated it will be hard for them to fight that orc, even if they are organized on their own terms it will only lead that to their deaths.``
Jin aimed his XDR-Rifle he was subtle and relaxed. Jin was thinking if he should help but he also having dilemmas in mind that if he fired his weapon and miss the shot it will mean to the other group that he is targeting them rather than helping them. But if he will not help those group of players on the ground it will be either cost their lives or there will be a sacrifice within their group. ``this type of scenario is heavy to bear with, a life and death scenario`` Jin continue to scope and observe the orcs.
``This world is not the world in the games when a player dies it will return to spawn point but here if a player dies it is a game over. It has been only a few weeks till the known Ultima change scenario and this is the real fight we humans will face.``
Jin turns around and slowly steps away from the ruins. But he then changes his mind and then rushes towards his old position and then whispered ”Deep Breath” [Skill activated: Main focus on the enemy has been targeted. Cross-hair is now in a full firing mode and ready to fire] and Jin whispered again ”Dual Burst”
[Triggering Skill usage chosen] {Registered Skill] [Firing Skill: Dual Burst] Jin put his finger at the trigger and slowly pressed it and then a beam of light fired from the barrel of the XDR-rifle.
*Pheww* the light has some electric shock so Jin was able to see some electricity running through the electric beam. The beam of light from below was soo bright it almost blinded the players from below but they got away in time. And when the Beam of light hits the orc.
The orc roars in pain. And it was followed by another beam of light which is the second punch of the skill and from that skill, the orc kneels in one leg and was breathing heavily. The shot burned almost the back of the Orc. ”Alright, all of us attack!” shouted one of the swordsmen that were leading the fight against orc. The orc was stunned because of the skill and it was a huge help.
”Iron Slash!” the swordsman shouted as the sword aura change into orange and it slashed through the flesh of the orc. ”Penetrating Arrow,” as the archer whispered who was also supporting from behind. ”Earth Spikes!” cast by the magician who was on the sidelines. And the last hit from the swordsman ”Whirlwind of Destruction!” and from that skill, the orc dropped on the ground bleeding heavily.
Jin who was observing from his position was smiling he just did an incredible job in supporting strangers in their battles. Then a blue tab appeared in front of Jin.
[EXP:2900 Gold:500] {Level Up!]
``So another level as I get this level up, I get much stronger when will I soon get another skill from the Blood Bullet. I am waiting for another skill I am sure it will be a good one`` Jin slings his XDR-rifle and walks away from his position before the strangers find him.
``it's getting dark and my mission to kill 30 ghouls will be easy. I just need to find a secured high ground to avoid detection and to also avoid being swarmed by those ghouls.`` Jin tried to find a suitable spot for each building that he can breach was pretty empty some trash was being all around the flora of the forest is really taking over some parts of the old city.
Jin soon found a suitable place a rooftop that is covered and another open space where ghouls might roam around to find their prey. Jin slid the XDR-rifle barrel into one of the holes and with that, he was able to scope out and observe a few ghouls that were roaming around. Jin was thinking about which skill he will use for this kind of mission. Jin smirked and then scope one of the ghouls that were standing still. Jin puts his pointy finger on the trigger and then whispered. ”Rapid Fire”
