Reincarnated as an Energy with a System

Chapter 842: Thunder Lizard’s Blessing

The wolves were genuinely terrifying for Ning. Unlike the other beasts he had fought until now, they were fast and did a lot of damage.         

    

Each time he battled a wolf, he had to make sure there weren’t any others around. The only time he possibly had an easier time was when the cards he pulled out were Uncommon or higher.     

Otherwise, each fight with the wolves felt like a battle to death.      

Of course, that was what you got when you went into a level 50 dungeon as a level 35 and started fighting wolves that were between levels 40 and 45.     

Each wolf was almost as strong as he was without any equipment. So, he had to be extra careful when he fought.     

The dungeon was a massive cave with many different routes and was no better than the maze from the Vileshroom dungeon. In fact, this might even be worse as there were simply too many routes that led to nowhere instead of immediately stopping at a dead end.     

However, that also meant that Ning could fight so many of the wolves without fearing running out.     

He fought the wolves, took some rest, and then fought some more. As such, he spent away more than 2 hours in the dungeon.     

During this time, he killed close to 70 different wolves before finally arriving at the boss’s room.     

A silver wolf lay on a giant stone in a cave with a massive opening up top. Ning could see the silver moon hovering in the sky above them, giving the wolf even much more of a majestic vibe.     

The boss was fast, very fast. It was so fast that Ning simply had no way of dodging its attacks, and after a minute or two of the fight, he died.     

10 minutes later, Ning respawned in the city. He opened his inventory to see that he had 70 wolfskins and went right back.     

By the time he reached Level 42, Ning had gone through the dungeon 3 times and gathered the 200 pieces of Wolfskin he needed to complete the quest.     

“Here it is,” Ning pulled out the over 200 Wolfskin and handed it to the Demon tailor.     

“Oh wow, you really did it. Thank you,” the demoness said.     

[Quest Completed]     

[You’ve received 21300 Exp]     

[You’ve received 6 Gold coins and 39 Silver coins]     

“I will make you an awesome belt, just wait,” the demoness said. “Come back in 5 hours okay?”      

“Okay,” Ning said and left the store.     

Adding onto the money he had received from other items, Ning now had over 15 Gold coins, so he decided to check what was available on the market. When he opened the setting to go to the market, he remembered about his video.     

“They’re still calling me a cheater huh?” Ning thought. The video was doing… well? Ning didn’t know how to judge numbers.     

There were quite a few people in the station, but not all played the game. Even amongst those that did, not everyone watched videos.     

This was to say that Ning’s video reaching a hundred thousand views likely meant that it was getting quite a bit of traction.     

‘Well, it’s doing better than others for sure,’ he thought and wrote a comment.     

‘There is no cheat here, I just got lucky. If I get lucky again, I’ll post the vid.’

After making the comment, Ning went on to the market and started looking for both skills and equipment.     

Ning could use up to 7 equipment and he did.     

He used Mushroom Hat, Mushroom Armor, Mushroom Shoe, Gobling Bracer, Gobling Spear, Amulet, and a Gobling Earring that gave him some INT and magic resistance.     

The worst equipment of the bunch was definitely the Amulet that he bought for such few silver coins. However, it also had Wind Arrows, so he was reluctant to change it.     

However, now that he had money, he could most likely find something better there.     

He looked for skills first and found a few that he liked. However, he only had 2 more spots for skills after Seed Bullet and the Demon Stats he would get from the humans.     

‘I can’t waste it just like that. I should look for better skills once I have more money,’ Ning thought and skipped on skills for now.     

Then he went onto the equipment side of the market, filtering by price and type of equipment.     

Ning also used further filters to filter it by what stats he wanted in it, whether he wanted a skill or not, whether the skill was active or passive, and such.     

Finally, after a while, he saw a necklace that fit his criteria.     

[Thunder Lizard’s Blessing (Rare)     

INT: 20     

DEF: 10     

Mana: 450     

Mana Regeneration: 3     

Level Limit: 50     

| Chain Lightning: Deals 120% of your INT as magic damage to a single unit, which also jumps to another unit if it is closer than 5 meters from it.     

Manacost: 200 Cooldown: 3 seconds |     

| Zap: Every weapon attack that the user deals have a 30% chance of zapping the enemy for 50% of their INT as damage.|]     

“Wait, 3 seconds?” Ning looked at the skill with a huge smile on his face. He could deal so much damage if he got it. “Plus that Zap skill is brilliant too.”     

He would happily let go of his amulet and Wind Arrows for this.      

“It’s 15 gold coins though,” Ning thought. ‘Also, I won’t get to use it immediately, but… it’s quite awesome.’     

Ning hesitated no more as he bought the item. He lost a massive chunk of his money at once, but that was acceptable with what he was getting out of it instead.     

    

‘6 hours huh? I should have the belt ready after that too,’ Ning thought. ‘I should get my level to 50 by then. After that, I should be able to equip both items.’         

    

With that, Ning went back to the Brownwolf Dungeon. Only this time he decided not to go in alone.     

With how high his level was now, he could easily be accepted by any party.
