Chapter 43 – System Upgrade (1/2)

“Hidden class, the Yin Yang Inquisitor?” TheFugitive leaped over and grabbed Purple Bell’s leg.

“Lil’ Sis Bell, ask the system what hidden class does the first player who died a hundred and one time get?”

“Screw off,” Fatty kicked TheFugitive aside, then patted away the nonexistent dirt on his pants, before smiling towards Purple Bell. “Ignore him, he’s crazy.”

Purple bell smiled sweetly, “It’s okay. Big Brother TheFugitive is a rogue expert and the former number two on the leaderboards. I know him.”

“Hehehe, so Lil’s Sis Bell know me too,” TheFugitive stood up with a shameless smile on his face.

Someone like this is an expert and is also a rogue like me? My god this is shameful.

“Little Sister Bell died so many times?” Liu Lan was surprised.

Purple Bell merely smiled without explaining anything. Fatty did understand though. Purple Bell didn’t like to farm, and merely liked to journey around to look at the scenery. Since her level is rather low, any random monster can insta-kill her, so it was normal. But… The game only launched not that long ago. A hundred deaths already? Isn’t that a bit… too much?

“Do you need to do any class change mission to become the Yin Yang Inquisitor?” Fatty asked.

“No need, I changed class already,” Purple Bell replied. “But this Saving the Sealed Butterfly mission seems rather troublesome. I need quite a few herbs, and need to get an apothecary to synthesize everything.

Purple Bell showed the group the required elixir.

Elixir of Seal break

Effects: Dispel a seal

Ingredients:

Snowsilver Grass x10

Armorshattering Beast Claw x5

Gold Essence Orb x5

Holy Ichor x3

Fire Spirit Stone x1

Snowsilver Grass was easy enough to get. Although they couldn’t get it for now, they did know where to find it. However, they have never even heard of the other four ingredients.

“We got an apothecary right here, she can become one once we get the Snowsilver Grass. I can help you get that, but we’ll have to ask around for the others,” said Fatty.

“Thank you, Big Brother Fatty,” Purple bell smiled sweetly and thanked them. “I’ll ask my older brother to look for the others. I can’t always trouble you. Bye bye, big brothers and sisters.”

“It’s not troublesome at all. Bye bye Lil’ Bell,” TheFugitive chuckled. His way of calling Purple Bell had already turned from Lil’ Sis Bell to Lil’ Bell very quickly.

“What do we do next? Farm?” asked Fatty.

“I’m not going,” Liu Lan shook her head. “I got some stuff to take care of in the company.”

“Then I won’t go either,” Darksnow immediately said as well. It’s too shameful to be with these two lecherous rogues.

Fatty and TheFugitive looked at each other. Alright, so it’s just the two of us. Let’s not say anything and go our separate ways.

Fatty went over to the bank to sort out the drops he had. He put away those that he was saving up, and sold away the ones that would only be sold to NPCs. After that, he took inventory of the stuff he had in the bank. Aside from some materials, he had 70 different items, 3 of them were silver ones, while the rest were bronze.

The extra silver item he got was actually from a normal Jumpy Antelope. Fatty was very surprised when he got the drop and thought that the Jumpy Antelope boss was just pretending to be a normal one, but when he killed some more of the monsters, he got nothing except pelts.

Fatty arranged his bank inventory properly, then went to repair his items. Farming caused way too much damage to his equipment, so he had to spend ten-odd coins just to fix them all, he trembled as his heart ached. Then, when he went over to buy health potions, he gritted his teeth and bought 10 sets of 200 potions each. Since I’m spending so much already, just a bit more is fine as well.

After preparing everything, Fatty moved out once more again. He had hesitated about where to farm for a while, but still ended up choosing the Butterfly Ridge again. Although the poison was rather disgusting, the butterflies were still relatively easy to kill since all it took was a few red potions.

And so what? Lord Fatty’s rich.

Fatty prepared to farm for a prolonged time in the Butterfly Ridge. As he got higher and higher in levels, he noticed the difficulty rise rather significantly. Man, we’re only pre-20 right now, and it takes like a day per level. I wonder how many days it’ll take when we’re in the 40s. I guess it really will be hard if all a player do is farm.

Fatty felt like ever since he killed the Phantom Blue Butterfly King and the new boss monster spawned, the Butterfly Ridge seemed to change significantly. Not only did the butterflies get increased attacks, they seemed to start proactively attacking players.

Fatty had once taken a look at the new boss monster and wanted to kill it. However, before he even got close, he was chased away by its lackeys. He also heard that Xu Quan got Misty Waterfall to fight it once more, but the hundred something players were all killed by the butterfly mobs without even getting close.

It was then that Fatty finally realized how lucky he was to be able to kill the Phantom Blue Butterfly King. He was fortunate that the butterfly celestial soul within the monster was sealed, so no swarm of monsters listened to its command. Otherwise, Fatty would have turned into roasted meat ages ago.

As Fatty watched the butterflies dancing around, he finally gave up and stuck with farming in the outer regions. He was two levels higher than when he first went over and was a lot more familiar with the butterflies’ attacks, so his farming speed increased quite a bit. At the very least, he no longer needed to chug down potions frantically whenever he killed one.

Swing dagger, dodge, swing again, dodge again. Poisoned? Potion time.

That was how Fatty spent his time.
