Virtual World: Conquering the World

"Shua, shua, shua!"

I charged forward and used a Sweeping Away Thousand Soldiers on the Giant Demon Beast Tamer!

"2203!"

"2471!"

"2368!"

Against the cloth armour, my super high attack power was even more powerful.  Just a single Sweeping Away Thousand Soldiers was enough to take away half their HP!

With a wild dance of the Roaring Flame Spear, the next two skills came out which was a combination of the Whirlwind Slash and the Shield Break Slash!

With two "pa, pa" sounds and a golden glow, the Roaring Flame Spear with a powerful strength landed on the Giant Demon Beast Tamer's weak body!

"3491!"

"4278!"

The Giant Demon Beast Tamer gave a wail as he fell down and the Gale Wolf that was about to attack me with a claw gradually faded before the two experience piles from them were obtained by me!

I rubbed my eyes before believing it, it really was true!

1213 attack against 180 defense was simply like cutting vegetables!

Moreover, the Roaring Flame Spear increased physical attack by 25%, which made it even easier.  If this Giant Demon Beast Tamer had around 500 defense, my attacks wouldn't have been more than 2000.  With this difference in attack and defense, I was able to deal a terrifying 4278 damage!

Opening the quest list, I found that all the Dark Spear Soldiers were dead, but there were still three Giant Demon Beast Tamers left!

With a smile, I quietly approached another Giant Demon Beast Tamer.

Just like before, I rushed forward and after using my attacks, the cloth armour mob and its pet turned into experience for me with a pitiful scream in just five seconds.

In less than two minutes, I was in front of the final Giant Demon Beast Tamer.  When I was about to attack, the Giant Demon Beast Tamer noticed me and began using magic.  When I was in front of it, there was a dark and white ball of light that flew out!

"Puchi!"

I felt pain all over my body as my HP dropped by 894!

Damn, magic attacks were always painful for warriors!

After sweeping out with my spear to kill that Giant Demon Beast Tamer, the Gale Wolf also quickly disappeared before a staff dropped to the ground.

[Dark Light Staff] (Silver Equipment)

Magic attack: 120-185

Intelligence: +12

Vitality: +5

Additional: Increases the user's spell damage by 1%.

Required level: 45

(Unidentified)

…...

The magic attack was considered good.  I threw it into my inventory and planned on hawking it when I got back to Sunset City!

At this time, I looked at the tents.  If everything was normal, the commanding officer of the dark forces' sentry post should be in one of the tents.

Brandishing the Roaring Flame Spear, I pushed aside the tent flap to see an empty tent.  There was only a broken straw mat and a worn out box inside.

Un?  A box!

I went in and found that there was a lock, so I couldn't open it.

I wasn't a thief, I couldn't pick this lock.  So with a sweep of the Roaring Flame Spear, the sharp tip fell down and shattered the lock!

I excitedly opened the box and found that there was a blue flowing gem that was inside.

[Exquisite Gem]

Grade: 1

Effect: Adds 20 defense to armour, takes one slot.

…...

Damn, it was a gem that added 20 defense, this was something good!

Everyone knew that the defenses of mages were bad, even the high level mage robes didn't add that much defense.  Like this, gems were more important since 20 defense was quite a lot.

Looking down at my Fearless Chestplate, this Gold Armour didn't have any slots and it wasn't practical to add slots myself.  So I threw the Exquisite Gem into my inventory, saving it for later.  When I have higher level equipment, I could definitely use this for that then.

So I walked out of the tent and went to the second tent.  It was as empty as before, having the same worn out box, but I also wanted this box!

"Peng!"

The Roaring Flame Spear broke the lock again and there was a black gem inside the box!

[Flying Feather Gem]

Grade: 1

Effect: Adds 2% move speed to shoes, takes one slot.

…...

I broke out in laughter, it was another good thing!  It actually increased move speed by 2%, this was a great gem for PKing!  It was fine to use it myself, but it was also good for selling!

So I happily put the gem away and continued looking for treasures!

The third tent didn't disappoint.  It was clear that I was the first player to come here as the box was complete.  After opening, there was a snow white gem that was inside.

[Thawing Gem]

Grade: 1

Effect: Adds 10 magic attack to staff, takes one slot.

…...

Ha, ha, it was finally a staff gem!  Gems that increased magic attack were definitely in demand because mages depended on this to play!

I remembered that Ling Yue's Dark God Snow Goddess Staff had a slot, so I could give this Thawing Gem to her.  10 points of magic attack was considered good.

This time, I wouldn't sell the gem to Ling Yue because I believed that if Ling Yue got a gem that I needed, she would give it to me.  That way, our Xue Yue Studio was a team, we could also do right to the words "Xue Yue forever, conquering the world" in our living room!

I had three gems in my inventory now.  Although they were only grade one gems, these rare things were enough to fill me with excitement.  I quickly went to the fourth tent and if nothing unexpected happened, there should be a physical attack Roaring Flame Gem inside this tent.  Although my weapon already had a grade 1 and 2 gem, I could always use it to sell for money.  The Roaring Flame Gem was a high grade item, so as long as an expert was willing to pay a lot for it, it would definitely sell!

I was grinning from ear to ear, but I never expected a sneak attack when I opened the ten flap!

"Peng!"

There was a sharp sword that cut across my chest, sending me flying into the distance.

"984!"

This close to a thousand damage surprised me.  My defense was already 700 and I lost this much HP.  The enemy's attack power was just this terrifying!

Looking up, I saw a boss in black armour standing in the entrance of the tent.  It was a commander of the dark forces with a sinister look, holding a glowing sword with a fire red cape dancing behind him.

[Dark Commander] (Gold Grade Boss)

Level: 65

Attack: 750-900

Defense: 500

HP: 250000

Additional: A dark forces elder demonized a human commander, turning him into a dark slave.  This Dark Commander became a low level commander of the dark forces.  He has terrifying strength and is even more terrifying with the dark sword.

…...

I was stunned before revealing a smile!  A good level 65 Gold Boss!  It had 900 attack and 500 defense, but that wasn't anything.  My attack and defense were higher than it, it was only his HP that was much higher.  I probably only had 1/67th of his HP…...

I quickly drank a HP pot and immediately stood up.  The Roaring Flame Spear had a much longer range compared to the other side's sword, so I immediately sent out an Ice Wind Thorn.  The Dark Commander was covered in a layer of frost before I used the Sweeping Away Thousand Soldiers and the Shield Break Slash!

"1492!"

"1547!"

"2803!"

There was no doubt that the Shield Break Slash was my strongest attack.  Whether it was against the defense of a mage or the high defense of a warrior, the Shield Break Slash had incredible effect.  The only problem was that it had a high CD, taking 10 seconds between each use, but it would become shorter as it leveled up!

I used another Whirlwind Slash to deal another 2000 damage before running away.  The freezing effect of the Ice Wind Thorn only lasted 15 seconds!

After my cooldowns were finished, I went forward again.  I quickly used all the skills that I could use before running away again, taking out the Star Chasing Bow to send out an ice arrow and an armour piercing arrow, dealing as much damage as possible!

The Dark Commander was furious after all this and swept out with his sword, sending a black glow that hit me in the chest and filling me with pain!

"Ding~!"

Combat notification: You have been hit by the Dark Commander's Dark Glow Spell, you have lost 1784 HP!

…...

Damn, it was both a mage and warrior!

I was shocked.  If this continued, I would definitely be killed!

It was a good thing that the cooldown of the Dark Glow Spell wasn't short either.  It took quite a while before the Dark Commander used it again, which was also good.  I slowly topped up my HP with my potions and continued to use my skills to destroy this Gold Boss.  With the Dark Gold Roaring Flame Spear and the other Gold Equipment, it wasn't a problem for me to destroy this boss.

After around twenty minutes, this aggrieved Gold Boss finally lost the last sliver of HP and fell down with a pitiful wail, dropping a pile of gold coins and a piece of equipment.

I quickly came forward and picked up the quest item, the boss' head.  Then I picked up the gold coins which were 325 pieces in total, which was considered quite a bit, so it wasn't a waste of time fighting him.  Then there was the piece of equipment, which was a fire red cape that the boss had been wearing.

[Scarlet Cape] (Gold Equipment - Armour)

Defense: 100

Strength: +15

Vitality: +10

Additional: Low level Bloodthirst.

Required level: 48

(Unidentified)

…...

I was filled with joy, it was actually a Gold Cape which had a required level of 48, so I could equip it.  Moreover, this cape had a Bloodthirst skill which made it even more amazing.

So I immediately put away this good thing and carefully entered the last ten.  As expected, after breaking the box, I got a grade 1 Roaring Flame Gem.  It seems like I now had a full set of grade one gems!

After throwing everything in my inventory, I brought the Dark Commander's head back.  When I handed over the bloody head, the leader said in an excited voice, "Brave warrior, you really killed that evil commander, this is great!  Come, this is your reward!"

"Ding~!"

System notification: You have completed the quest [Destroy the forces of darkness' sentry].  You have obtained 450000 experience, 500 gold coins, and 1200 prestige.

…...

"Shua!"

With a beam of gold light, I reached level 49!  When I opened the rankings again, I had reached sixth place!

At this time, there was a "di" sound as I received a system notification: Your friend "Gentle Breeze Embracing the Moon" has logged on!

In less than a few seconds, Ling Yue called me and said in a shocked voice, "Bookworm, you're already level 49!  So abnormal……"

I said with a laugh, "It's alright!"

Ling Yue gave a laugh, "Remember to rest!  Don't be too tired, sleep earlier!"

"Un."

I thought about it before saying, "Ling Yue, come to Sunset City's east gate, I have something for you."

Ling Yue was a bit confused, but she replied, "Oh, I'll be there soon……"

I took out a City Return Scroll and appeared in Sunset City.  In the distance, there was a beautiful female mage coming over.

I took out the grade one Thawing Gem and traded it to Ling Yue.

"Here, you can use this.  Go to the blacksmith and use fifty gold coins to put it in you slot."

Ling Yue was surprised before revealing a smile, "Thank you Bookworm~~But, I don't have that many gold coins, can you give me some?"

I was surprised, "Good fellow, you really are a wolf!"

"What, I really am in need of money right now!"

Ling Yue revealed a smile, looking like a spoiled brat.  It went to my head and I immediately gave her two thousand gold coins.

"Save a bit, remember to pick up the money when you kill mobs……"

"Un, got it!"  Ling Yue happily accepted the gold coins.

"Then, I'll go repair my equipment, you do your things!"

"Un, alright!"

After repairing my equipment, I went off to the appraiser. 

Putting the Scarlet Cloak on the counter, the appraiser excitedly said, "Good treasure!  The appraisal fee is 600!"

Although I gave Ling Yue 2000 gold coins, I still had 2000 left, so I quickly handed over the fee.

With a flash of light, the Scarlet Cloak was covered in a red glow that hung over it like a blood mist.

[Scarlet Cape] (Gold Equipment - Armour)

Defense: 150

Magic defense: 100

Strength: +25

Vitality: +20

Agility: +18

Additional skills: Intermediate Bloodthirst

Required level: 48

…...

It actually increased to Intermediate Bloodthirst!

I immediately equipped it and the blood red cloak replaced my black cloak, looking much more powerful compared to before!

Now that I was level 49, I was considered a high level player.  With the Dark Gold Roaring Flame Spear, there was no need to hide anymore, so I released the effects of my equipment!

Then I looked at the Bloodthirst skill.

[Intermediate Bloodthirst]: Increases the user's attack speed and move speed by 20% after using.  Lasts for 30 seconds.  Has a cooldown of 30 minutes.
