Chapter 78: Xue Weis Reques (2/2)
Stamina: +15
Passive: Increases user's movement speed by 0.5%
Level Requirement: 45
……
I looked at the stats. Very good, especially the 0.5% increase in movement speed. This made me feel very pleased. Normally, boots wouldn’t increase basic speed. Bonus to movement speed was extreme. In the current stage of the game, all players moved at the same rate. And now, I had an extra 0.5%. While the difference was really small, I would be able to do things like hit-and-run!
I took off the Porcupine Boots and put on the Stormy War Boots. Immediately, my feet glowed and all my stats increased—

……
I’m so great. Fifteen points of Stamina meant a boost of 150 HP. It allowed me to break through the barrier of 1000 HP. It really was terrifying. Even the strongest magic knights may not have such high HP. On top of that, 18 Strength added 11~18 points to my Attack. My Defense surpassed 200 points for the first time. I had completely transformed!
I turned around and found a Level 50 Violet Undead Knight to fight. This time, it was much easier. When I was hit, I only took 200 damage. Also, my HP was higher, so Regeneration of the Undead had become even stronger.
Tsk, tsk. One Silver-grade item was enough to make me so strong. If I put on Ghost Ice Soul, wouldn’t I become too OP?
The mere thought of it filled me with a sense of longing. I need to reach Level 50 as soon as possible! The second I equip Ghost Ice Soul, I will be unstoppable
I continued to kill, looking like a grinding machine that did not know what fatigue and sleep were. It wasn’t until 8 am that I felt a hint of tiredness. However, the results were clear. I had leveled up to 46 and 12%. Numerous Violet Undead Knights fell under my sword. I had long ago finished the quest, but with their rich experience, I couldn’t bear to finish and leave.
”Haa...”
I sighed in relief. After killing another knight, I looked into my bag. It was filled with magic stones, I had more than thirty of them. Time to finish. After turning in the quest, I will basically catch up to Lin Yixin.
As I returned to the forest, Shadow Dancer Xue Wei was still leaning against the tree, the wound in her chest terrible. She looked weakly in my direction.
As an ancient player with abundant experiences in countless games, I naturally knew that NPCs in a game like Heavenblessed would scale along with players’ levels. Xue Wei might be only Level 55 at the time, but she would soon grow into a powerful boss-level NPC. Once I reached Level 100, Xue Wei would probably be a Epic Rank 120 boss.
I grabbed the longbow and handed it to Xue Wei, saying, ”I have gathered sufficient undead sparks on there, is it enough for you to recover?”
Xue Wei nodded, her white hand touching the bow’s string. Immediately, blood-red undead sparks permeated her body and the girl’s wounds visibly healed. The healing effect of these sparks was truly powerful. Compared to my Regeneration of the Undead, her technique was divine!
A moment later, when Xue Wei's wounds had mostly healed, she smiled happily. ”Young Warrior, thank you for your help in healing me. As one of the commanders of the Blood Dance Legion, I, in the name of Shadow Dancer Xue Wei, give you a reward. Thank you for all you have done. Fight on!”
Ding~!
System Notice: Congratulations, you have completed the quest [Shadow Dancer's Request]. You have gained 14400 EXP and 375 Reputation!
……
My experience soared, prompting me to immediately open the Heavenly Ranking. It refreshed every three seconds anyway. As expected, I jumped to the top spot! I was finally first for once!
Lin Yixin and I were at the same level, but I still had more experience. I had no doubt in my mind she would surpass me once I went to sleep. Dominating Heaven Blade was also a leveling maniac, closely behind us two. He was also at Level 46. He probably would surpass me soon.
If I wanted to keep the top position, I couldn't sleep and had to continue grinding.
I thought about it and discarded the notion soon after. There’s no point. Level isn’t everything. I’ll move slowly but steadily. What matters most is my individual strength. Dominating Heaven Blade may have a high level, but so what? Can he even take my Pardon-empowered attack?
If not, then he was nothing to me.
Shadow Dancer Xue Wei smiled and stood up with her longbow. “Young warrior, if you have the chance, I hope you will come to Blue Moon Island and formally become a member of the Blood Dance Legion. May we meet again!”
As she finished speaking, Xue Wei disappeared from the forest like an elf, astoundingly fast.
I shook my head. In the information published on Heavenblessed's forums, Blue Moon Island was a high-level map. Before reaching Level 100, I wouldn’t want to go there, unless I had a death wish.
