Chapter 23: Level Up the Skill Again!
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Three consecutive system announcements resounded, and it instantly attracted the attention of all the players.
“F*ck, isn’t he too strong! He entered a main city just like that?!”
“So this is a God! I’ve only just reached level 5, but he’s already reached level 10 and entered a main city!”
“Such a God, he’s so strong!”
“Damn, is he really not cheating with this leveling speed?!”
“I heard that the current guild master of a large guild is only at level 8. I didn’t expect this Lu Yuan to already be at level 10!”
“This can’t do! I have to continue to work hard to level up and catch up with everyone!”
Since Lu Yuan, who was someone from within the country, was the first player in the world to enter a main city, the news undoubtedly filled his fellow compatriots with enthusiasm.
As long as the title of the number one player was not snatched away by foreigners, it did not matter.
Remembering how the system had announced the news thrice, one could clearly see the advantages of this.
This was a glory for the national region!
…
After Lu Yuan entered Amber City and looked around, he found the surrounding buildings very familiar.
In his previous life, Lu Yuan had settled down in Amber City. It could be said that he knew Amber City like the back of his hand.
Lu Yuan opened his backpack, and sure enough, he saw an equipment treasure chest lying quietly in his bag.
He opened it without hesitation, hoping that he could get a piece of top-grade equipment.
[Congratulations to the player for obtaining the equipment — Silver’s Power!]
[Silver’s Power]
[Rarity] : Purple
[Level] : 10
[Effect]: All attributes +3, the player has a 20% chance to recover HP when attacking.
[Description]: A ring carefully crafted by Silver. It has powerful magic power.
This was a piece of ring equipment. Its attributes were not bad, and its chance of recovering the wearer’s HP was also very practical, so Lu Yuan equipped it directly.
At this time, Lu Yuan could already feel that his body was tired.
Unknowingly, it had been almost a whole day since he entered the game.
The exhaustion of his body would directly affect his state in the game.
At this moment, Lu Yuan felt a little powerless even if he wanted to hurry up and complete the hidden missions.
He might as well go offline. Since he had already obtained the reward for being the first person to enter a main city, there was nothing to regret for the time being.
Phew!
After Lu Yuan logged off, he took off his helmet and felt the air in the real world.
The air in reality felt good. It was a completely different experience from the air in the game.
In his previous life, after Lu Yuan experienced the integration of the game and reality, he did not have the chance to feel the air of reality again.
Lu Yuan stood up and went to the windowsill. He drew the curtains and looked outside. He could still feel the breath of life.
However, it was already late at night.
Lu Yuan suddenly felt his stomach growling. He could not help but laugh at himself.
Unknowingly, he had been immersed in the game for a long time, to the point he was famished.
Lu Yuan ordered some barbecue and some beer.
Just like that, in the middle of the night, he ate barbecue and drank beer.
It was a great joy in life.
He had not experienced such a pleasant experience for a long time.
Therefore, Lu Yuan still cherished the time he had in reality.
After eating, Lu Yuan took a shower and fell asleep.
When he woke up, the sunlight outside the window was shining in, bringing with it some warmth.
Lu Yuan woke up with a start. He was afraid that when he woke up, he would still appear in the eroded world, the world that was like Doomsday.
However, after regaining his senses, he could feel that everything was still fine, which made Lu Yuan feel a lot more at ease.
After cleaning up, Lu Yuan took some simple food, then he continued to log into the game!
Amber City, let’s go!
With a flash of white light, Lu Yuan logged in and soon appeared in Amber City.
It was already the second day, thus, at this time, Lu Yuan’s talent skill could be upgraded by two points again!
Lu Yuan was still thinking about upgrading his skill Shadow Following to its maximum state, so he decisively added his talent points to Shadow Following.
[Detected that the Shadow Following skill cannot be leveled up… Talent skill can break through the level limit of skills… Successful breakthrough… Shadow Following level +1] The system’s intermittent notification sounded.
Success!
[Legendary Skill]: Shadow Following +3
[Description]: Active skill, an extremely rare Divine skill among legendary thieves. Consumes 170 MP to enter Shadow State where attacks can be launched without being discovered. Under Shadow State, the player obtains 33% damage immunity. Lasts for 3 minutes, cooldown time: 22 minutes. (Note: cannot be upgraded)
Seeing the effect of this skill, Lu Yuan felt invincible!
The duration of his Stealth state could already last for 3 minutes.
If he were to level up again, it might become even more awesome!
Just as Lu Yuan wanted to continue leveling up, he received a notification from the system.
[Currently unable to level up. Requires 2 talent points.]
Lu Yuan could not help but be stunned.
He did not expect that at the current stage, the requirement for him to upgrade his skill would increase from 1 talent point to 2 talent points!
This was simply a scam!
Didn’t that mean that he would have to wait until tomorrow to level up?!
If he did wait, it would seem a little wasteful, because tomorrow he would be able to obtain another 2 talent points.
That being said, if he used this talent point on the skill “Summon Fire”, it was a little wasteful as well, because Summon Fire was only a tier 1 spell, which was considered a relatively low tier.
Since it was like that, it seemed that there was no need to upgrade Summon Fire. If he wanted to upgrade a skill, he naturally had to choose a powerful skill.
Lu Yuan kept pondering in his mind, and he quickly recalled that there was such a hidden skill in his possession that could cause large-scale damage. It was simply a mage’s divine skill!
Unfortunately, this skill was marked as being unable to be upgraded, therefore, it was only useful in the early stages of the game. Later on, when the level of the Mages rose, the players would learn new skills and this skill would be abandoned.
However, Lu Yuan was different, because Lu Yuan’s talent itself allowed him to break through the level limit of his skills!
Wasn’t this tailor-made for him?
Lu Yuan could not help but be delighted. After recalling where the NPC was, Lu Yuan went straight to him.
Although it was a mission that everyone could accept, he heard that the first person to complete this mission would obtain a stronger version of the same skill.
Thus, Lu Yuan hurried over.
In Dawn Tavern of Amber City, a middle-aged mage was already drunk inside.
He did not look good at all, his robe dirty and messy.
If one judged him by his appearances, he looked like a drunkard who had appeared out of nowhere and was disgusting, but Lu Yuan knew that this person had very high attainments in magic!
It was just that he was addicted to alcohol.
Lu Yuan quickly entered Dawn Tavern.
The time was gradually slipping into the night, and so the tavern was very lively, and the surroundings were noisy.
“Come, continue drinking!”
“Hahaha, don’t stop! Continue, continue!”
All kinds of shouts and the sound of wine glasses clinking mingled together, creating a noisy atmosphere.
Lu Yuan entered the tavern and began trying to identify the person he was looking for.
A bartender who was dressed very neatly walked over.
“Welcome, sir. There are still empty seats over here. Do you need anything?”
The bartender was very polite, but this was just a facade.
If Lu Yuan showed any signs of wanting to stay for free, which meant that he did not come here to spend money, he would be thrown out in the next second.
After all, the tavern was built to do business!
