Chapter 12 (1/2)

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Lorne took out a rock fragment that glowed dull yellow from his pouch.

This was a ‘body part material’, very different from ordinary rocks.

The Stone Skin Poison Toad beside him jumped in front of Lorne. Its dark green eyes landed on the rock fragment, as if it knew that it was a good thing.

Lorne shook his head and smiled.

Don’t look at how naive this fellow was. At this moment, it was really smart. It actually took the initiative to run up and ask for a reward.

But Lorne did not agree, for the fragment was too rare.

When he created the Stone Skin Poison Toad, he had used five rocks to give it the [Stone Skin] skill.

If he wanted to increase its defense again, he had to accumulate at least five ‘rock fragments’. Otherwise, there was not much meaning in fusing them.

There was also the fear that the merging would cause its [Spew Poison] to be replaced.

Without it, the toad would lose its value.

Therefore, he did not want to test such a pointless attempt.

“Let’s get to work first.”

“After completing the mission, I will reward you.”

With a wave of his hand, he led the group deeper into the valley.

…

In the following period of time, with his pets, Lorne repeated his strategy.

The Two-Headed Demon Hound was responsible for attracting the monsters to gather, the Stone Skin Poison Toad was responsible for the main battle, and the Vitality Slime was responsible for providing continuous healing.

As for himself, because he was a Summoner and did not have any [Intelligence], his damage output was too low. Therefore, he became a useless onlooker in the entire battle.

Fortunately, the Stone Skin Poison Toad’s farming efficiency was quite good.

It could kill five Stone Beetles in about five minutes, gaining 140 EXP.

The other gains were also very generous.

Despite a lack of materials, a Stone Beetle would drop 12 bronze coins, which was a considerable amount.

In addition…

Stone Beetles had a higher equipment drop rate than other pets.

This might be because the stone beetles were too hard to kill. When ordinary teams encountered such monsters, they would basically avoid them.

After all, the magic damage dealt by players was low and the cooldown was long. It would take too long to kill a Stone Beetle.

…

“Ding!”

“Congratulations on reaching Level 8.”

“Congratulations on reaching Level 9.”

“Congratulations on reaching Level 10.”

“Warning! As you are a Summoner, your level has been locked. Please raise your pets to Level 10 and enter the main city to complete your Class Advancement.”

In the three hours of fighting, three golden lights fell on Lorne.

His level had reached 10.

This was the highest level that one could achieve in the beginner village.

If he wanted to continue leveling up, he had to go to the main city of the game and find a professional mentor to change his class. After changing his class, he could obtain experience points again.

There was still a gap between the Summoner class and other classes. After the Summoner reached Level 10, they had to increase their pets’ levels.

Otherwise, the player’s level could not be unlocked.

He knew that rule.

However, the demand for pets to level up was too high, making him feel a little depressed.

In the “Divine Realm”, pets also needed experience points to level up, and the requirement for level-up was higher than players.

This was especially so for high-quality pets.

Take the three pets of Lorne as an example.
