Novel Full Chapter 22
Chapter 22: Willy’s Gathering Place, HP Exceeding 10,000
Li Yi was not worried that this person would go back on his word. After all, Little Merchant had always attached great importance to agreements. Li Yi believed that he would not do anything that would go against the agreement even now.
Moreover, this Defense Potion was only considered extremely precious because everyone did not have many skills in the early stages of the game. In the future, there would still be many valuable items. It was impossible for Little Merchant to build their own reputation just like that.
There were many ways to earn money with an S-grade talent. There was no need to do things like that!
Li Yi came to the warehouse and stored the important necklace and a large number of materials. He then bought a bunch of Mana Potions and headed towards the second-in-charge — Willy. Now that he had the experience bonus, leveling up would definitely be much easier.
As soon as he arrived at the entrance of the Novice Village, Snow Chaser stood in his path. She knew she was only a weak level 4 player, so she felt bad about what had happened during the battle. So, she apologetically spoke to Li Yi, “Carefree Dream, I’m sorry, I wanted to help you during the battle. Unfortunately, there were too many players, and when I tried to fight back I got killed. The next thing I knew, I got sent back to the revival point.”
Li Yi tried to recall what had happened just now. He seemed to have focused all his attention on the boss and the necklace. So, he did not pay too much attention to his surroundings or where Snow Chaser was. When he picked up the equipment, Snow Chaser had already disappeared.
He himself did not think too much about it and replied to her, “It was too chaotic just now, don’t worry about it. I just happen to be going to a place to level up. Let’s go together while the experience is doubled!”
“Okay!”
…
Half an hour later, Li Yi and Snow Chaser were now far away from the Novice Village. They had reached a place that was extremely barren and desolate. The wind around them seemed to have a rotten smell that lingered around. This was the kind of place that had barren mountains and rivers.
It was hard to imagine someone living here. However, this was the location marked out for his mission, the location of the second-in-charge — Willy.
As they continued walking forward, they encountered a large gathering place. There were many Bandits who wandered outside of the gathering place.
Each Bandit had an extremely tall and sturdy figure. They wore soft armor and held large sabers in their hands. Their ugly and fierce appearances would definitely be the nightmares of many children!
He quickly looked at the Bandit’s attributes.
[Level 7 Bandit Martial Artist (normal)]
[HP: 1,000]
[Physical Attack: 140]
[Physical Defense: 50]
Snow Chaser said, “This monster has such a high attack and HP. This is expected of a martial artist.”
Li Yi did not hesitate and quickly drew his sword, he used Combo and Heavy Strike. He swiftly struck the Bandit Martial Artist’s neck.
“-140.”
“-370! Weak Point Damage!”
“-602! Weak Point Damage!”
“Ugh…”
The Bandit Martial Artist did not even have the strength to fight back. He directly fell to the ground. This super high attack power amazed Snow Chaser.
Snow Chaser opened her mouth wide and exclaimed, “Good gosh, Carefree Dream, your damage attack has increased by so much! If we were to battle, you’d definitely kill me with one strike!”
Snow Chaser then raised the staff in her hand and threw a Fireball at the head of another Bandit Martial Artist.
“-271.”
Snow Chaser’s damage was also pretty good. She should have around 130 magic attack from the scepter she retrieved from Li Yi. Monsters’ defenses at the early stages could easily be ignored. Once these monsters get hit, a lot of HP would be lost from their low defenses.
Snow Chaser had been leveling up with him for a period of time. She had learned a lot of dodging skills from him. She had skillfully dodged the Bandit Martial Artist’s attack and threw another Fireball at the Bandit as a counterattack.
“-284.”
Snow Chaser said happily, “This scepter is really good. It’s really different compared to other powerful weapons.”
Li Yi directly rushed forward and used two slashes to finish off the Bandit. The next step was easy. Li Yi was in the frontlines while Snow Chaser fired a Fireball at the backlines to attract the other Bandits’ attacks. Li Yi also followed up with a few basic sword slashes, and he quickly killed the Level 7 Bandit Warrior.
Soon, the Bandit Martial Artists outside the gathering place were cleared. The experience gained was definitely of a huge amount. After the grinding, Snow Chaser had leveled up to level 5.
The two of them then walked into the gathering place. Li Yi saw a stone platform in the distance with a treasure chest on it. It looked like it could be the second-in-charge boss’s treasure chest, but there were too many monsters around. There were all kinds of monsters who guarded this gathering place.
Snow Chaser saw something behind her and quickly spoke, “Be careful!” A Bandit beside Li Yi had swung its heavy sword down on him. However, Snow Chaser was the one that got hit by the attack as she tried to protect Li Yi.
“-309! Critical Hit!”
“-15! Counter Damage!”
The attack power was very powerful. Were Snow Chaser to receive more than two hits, she would have definitely died on the spot.
Li Yi quickly checked this Bandit’s attributes.
[Level 7 Bandit Warrior (Elite)]
[HP: 2,600]
[Physical Attack: 200]
[Physical Defense: 80]
…
Snow Chaser used a Fireball spell when she had 10% left of her HP.
Li Yi did not hesitate, he quickly drew his sword. He then used Combo and Critical Hit as his special attacks.
“-126.”
“-317! Weak point Damage!”
“-544! Critical Hit!”
Taking advantage of the moment when the elite Bandit Warrior was about to counterattack, Li Yi immediately used Raging Blood War!
“-907.”
After the elite Bandit Warrior got stunned, he immediately followed up with two sword strikes. Snow Chaser also went forward and released another Fireball attack. Finally, the elite Bandit Warrior fell to the ground.
[Talent Trigger: Obtained 26 HP, 0.26 HP Recovery/second]
Just as Snow Chaser was about to pick up the copper coins dropped by the elite Bandit Warrior, an extremely fast shadow rushed over her. The shadowed figure flashed by with a dagger. Its weapon directly slashed at Snow Chaser.
Swoosh!
A large number appeared above Snow Chaser’s head.
“-277.”
The Magic Apprentice, Snow Chaser, had a physique that could not withstand the blow at all and flew to the ground. Fortunately, the attack did not hit a vital point. Otherwise, she would have definitely been killed in one hit.
Snow Chaser quickly retreated and took out a Health Potion to drink. Then, she casted a healing spell on herself for additional health points.
“+101”
Li Yi finally saw the type of monster that had ambushed them and checked its attributes.
[Level 7 Bandit Assassin (elite)]
[HP: 1,500]
[Physical Attack: 270]
[Physical Defense: 35]
Assassin-type monsters had a high attack power and an extremely weak defense. They were the type of monsters that would ambush players instead of encountering them head-on. It was a nightmare for the weak and brittle Magic Apprentices such as Snow Chaser.
The Bandit Assassin wanted to fall back when its first attack failed. Snow Chaser directly threw a Fireball at it. Li Yi also followed up with a Combo attack.
The defense of the monster was so low that it caused the Bandit assassin to instantly perish from the flames of the Fireball attack.
Snow Chaser patted herself on the back. She felt pride that she defeated a monster, but at the same time, trembled from the ambush. She spoke to Li Yi with fear laced in her words, “The monsters in this place are so intelligent. They wanted to run away after just one hit!”
Li Yi smiled and said, “There will be more intelligent monsters in the future. They can even predict your movements and prioritize killing your types first so you won’t heal your other high damage players. Moreover, you’ll encounter magician bosses that can heal themselves too when attacked! You should stay close to me, I can guard you against things like these.”
“Alright then!”
…
Only Bandits that were of elite level and Bandit Assassins could pose some threat in this gathering place. However, as long as they were careful, not much problem would be caused. As for the other Bandit Martial Artists, they were quickly cleared out.
A few hours later, Li Yi looked at the monster corpses on the ground. There was still quite a long way to go before they both could reach another level. The higher the level, the harder it was to level up. Snow Chaser was about to reach level 6, and she was overjoyed from the thought of it.
Li Yi observed the area around him. All the monsters had been cleared out, now was the perfect time to trigger the boss fight.
He looked at his own HP. At that moment, it had reached a shocking 12,732 points. Moreover, his HP recovery speed had also reached 121 points per second.
His HP had already exceeded 10,000 points. The boss Wilke would definitely have something to say about Li Yi’s power!
You’re just a player, yet your HP is almost similar to my level.. Do I, a big boss, not care about my reputation?
