432 Dusk Mountain Goblin (1/2)
”Let's go!” After killing those monsters, Wang Yu waved at Lone Vagrant Guest, who was still hiding behind the tree.
Lone Vagrant Guest walked over excitedly as he asked, ”Brother Bull, which combat squad are you from?”
”Combat squad? I am not in any.” Wang Yu replied faintly.
”No combat squad?” Lone Vagrant Guest stared blankly for a moment before asking again, ”So you're also a rogue?”
Rogues in the game referred to those who travelled alone without any fixed squad. These were fellas who did most things by themselves. In fact, they even joined random squads to complete dungeons.
Rogue gamers were usually categorised in two extremes. They could either be extremely weak or extremely strong like a god.
Because rogues were always alone and > was a game which emphasised heavily on group coordination. Without a fixed team to work with, rogues could never complete high-level dungeons or hidden quests. Therefore, 99% of rogues were usually rookies. The more rookie they were, the lesser friends they had. The lesser friends they had, the more rookie they would become…
Of course, there was another exception and that was the rich people.
For most rogues, they spent a majority of their time grinding wild monsters to level up. Therefore, there was a high possibility of them meeting countryside NPCs for the countryside quests. Normally, people would rethink their own capabilities when they received a hidden quest before considering if they should accept it. However, rich people wouldn't have such consideration. As long as they had money, they could hire a lot of people to help them complete their quests. Eventually, they would still be the one to enjoy the rewards of the quest by themselves.
As time passed, these rogues would become even stronger than before. As they continued to grow, they would become people who even professional gamers wouldn't dare to offend…
Lone Vagrant Guest was the last type of rogue gamer. Hearing that Wang Yu didn't have a squad too, he naturally treated Wang Yu as the same type of gamer as he was.
”Rogue? I guess you can call me that…” Wang Yu didn't understand the meaning of a rogue. However, it wasn't hard to understand the meaning from the word itself. He guessed that it was basically those who practice and train by themselves.
”Oh, no wonder… I've truly made an error in judgement.” Lone Vagrant Guest muttered to himself.
Wang Yu scratched the back of his head as he replied, ”Let's go… Otherwise, another wave of monsters might come back.”
After crossing the suspension bridge, the system notified the two of them that they had found the back of the mountain.
The back of the Dusk Peak and the front of it were two completely different worlds. There was only a small and narrow road at the back of the mountain. Other than a few stones lying around, there weren't even any monsters around.
Following the road, the two of them walked for over 15 minutes and finally reached the end of the road.
The end of the road was a cliff. It looked extremely smooth and was precipitous. It looked slightly over 100 metres tall and vines were hanging out of the cliff. In fact, one of the thickest vines actually touched the bottom.
”This should be the road at the back of the mountain. It seems like we have to climb up this cliff.” Lone Vagrant Guest mumbled to himself before asking Wang Yu, ”Brother Bull, have you learnt the vine climbing skill yet?”
[Vine Climbing] was a talent skill of Thief. However, players of other jobs could still learn this skill from the rare skill book.
Wang Yu shook his head, ”No, I haven't.”
Lone Vagrant Guest retrieved a skill book and threw it to Wang Yu, ”Take this! Fortunately for you, I've bought one extra book.”
”What?” An astonished Wang Yu looked at Lone Vagrant Guest. [Vine Climbing] was an extremely practical skill and it didn't cost cheap. To be specific, one book would cost around 50 gold. Not only was he getting paid to complete this quest, Wang Yu was even given a free skill book. Just how generous was this guy?
Since Lone Vagrant Guest was the one who wanted to give it to him, Wang Yu naturally wouldn't stand on any ceremony. After accepting the skill book, Wang Yu casually kept it in his bag.
”If you don't learn this skill now, you will not be able to climb this cliff.” Seeing how Wang Yu didn't learn the skill, Lone Vagrant Guest reminded him.
Wang Yu smiled, ”Don't bother about me. Head up yourself first because I have my own method.”
”Really? Don't you cheat me…” Lone Vagrant Guest looked doubtfully at Wang Yu before he started climbing the vine like a bug.
