Chapter 15: Obtaining a New Skill,『Rain of Life』


    Noticing that Su Ming was about to leave, the old Mayor hastily reminded, "Adventurer, you''d best reach Lv10 first before assisting the soldiers in eliminating the demons."


    I know.


    Su Ming nodded. As if he had remembered something, he turned his head and asked, "Mayor, I want to know one thing. Since demons appeared near Aaron Town, why didn''t the Church send the Knights and Priests to exterminate the demons?"


    This was something that Su Ming had wondered about even in his previous life.


    Demons were creatures of darkness, so wouldn''t they be an enemy of the Church of Light?


    Yet, the Church of Light was indifferent to the situation.


    The Mayor shook his head and exined, "They have a more difficult task. The weakening of the seal on the Abyssal Gate of the Dark Ridge has led to the birth of arge tide of demons. Those vile creatures had escaped from the mountains, so the Church needed to suppress the Dark Ridge which leads to them not having extra manpower."]


    <em><i>So its the Dark Ridge.</i></em>


    Su Ming suddenly realized.


    After resolving the doubts in his mind, he left the Mayor''s house.


    Subsequently, Su Ming went to the market and purchased aArrow of Light(ck Iron)skill book, costing him 700 gold which was equivalent to real currency of 700 kuai*. [TLN: *kuai is a ssifier for money and currency units.]


    His current magic attack was much higher than his physical attack, reaching 269 points, thus Su Ming finally needed to learn an attack skill. [Arrow of Light] was one of the few attack skills that Priests had in their early stages.


    <em><i>"Ding! Congrattions on learning the skillArrow of Light Lv1."</i></em>


    Arrow of Light (ck Iron)


    Level: 1 (0/200)


    Effect: Uses the holy light to condense into an arrow. Deals [20+magic attack *150%] light damage to a single enemy. Dark creatures take double damage.


    Cooldown: 5 seconds


    Consumption: 25 MP


    Having learned the skill, Su Ming immediately set off for the quest.


    He had to seize every moment to grow stronger.


    Seven or Eight Minutes Later


    Current Location: Holy Light KingdomAaron TownAzure Lake


    The location he arrived at was a Level 5 Map and there were already many yers teaming up to kill monsters nearby.


    Water Demon


    Level: 5


    Rank: Ordinary


    HP: 950


    Attack: 105


    Defense: 45


    Magic Defense: 27


    Skill: Water Arrow Lv1, Illusionary Voice Lv1


    Water demons were dark bluish humanoid demons that were short, and were not as beautiful as the legendary Sirens. Their whole face looked like it had been through a terrible traffic identthe epitome of ugliness.


    Im going to test my damage on you guys then.


    Su Ming fished out his spirit staff and quickly activated his skill:Arrow of Light!


    The glimmering particles instantly agglomerated into one arrow and assailed through the air.


    <em><i>Whoosh!</i></em>


    <em><i>The Arrow of Light!</i></em>


    <em><i>-369</i></em><em><i></i></em>


    Ugh


    One unfortunate water demon was pierced by the light arrow in its abdomen and shirked a bloody scream as its HP bar plummeted by a huge section.


    Damage not quite bad, aye!


    Su Ming was satisfied yet again.


    Following after, he went on a killing spree.


    If one had a skill, one''d put it to use. If one didn''t have a skill, one could always swing one''s staff and smash-spank the demons while the damage would always be extremely high.


    Another water demon died in Su Mings hand.


    <em><i>Ding!</i></em>


    <em><i>"You''ve killed 1 water demon. EXP gained: 50."</i></em>


    <em><i>"Youve killed"</i></em>


    The system panel constantly refreshed its prompts, and within two minutes, his EXP bar had reached the level-up requirement.


    Su Ming''s body shed with a light and his HP and MP instantly restored to full.


    <em><i>Ding!</i></em>


    "<em><i>Congrattions on reaching Level 5. You''ve gained: Strength +2, Physique +2, Agility +2, Wisdom +3.</i></em>"


    Su Ming opened his personal status panel.


    ID: Cang Hai


    Level: 5 (10/1750)


    HP: 2380


    MP: 3366


    Attributes:


    Strength: 118


    Physique: 119


    Agility: 124


    Wisdom: 134


    Attack speed: 236/275


    Physical Defense: 155


    Magic Defense: 95


    In addition to the changes in his attributes, the buff icons in his status also grew to 10, umting to 432yers.


    His heart feltfortable just by looking at his stats.


    Lets keep on killing those demons.


    Su Ming looked to the other hordes of water demons and walked towards them.


    <em><i>"Ding, you have a message from your friend."</i></em>


    Just halfway across, the system prompt rang out.


    "Who would contact me at this hour? Could it be that Night de me has found the healing skill scroll?!"


    Su Ming felt slightly ted.


    He opened the message panel to indeed find a message from Night de me.


    "Brother Cang Hai, my guild has just found a Silver-grade healing scroll, will you look at it? [Screenshot]." A message fromYe Ren Yan.


    <em><i>Open the screenshot</i></em>.


    Rain of Life(Silver)


    Effect:


    -Summons a rain full of vitality to heal friendly units within a radius of 20 meters.


    -Restoration effect: 3500 HP per second.


    -Last for 15 seconds.


    Su Mings eyes lit up.


    As long as he used the scroll, he would be able to obtain 15yers of Silver-grade buffs.


    Therefore, he sent a reply: The scroll is pretty good but it isn''t valuable enough."


    "In addition to this Silver skill book, I''ll add another 30,000 gold!" Night de Yan replied immediately.


    ording to the market price in his previous life, the price of Silver-grade equipment fluctuated between 5,000-15,000 gold.


    The price offered by Ye Ren Yan was a full double premium.


    To think that one day, he could exchange a Lv5 Silver-grade equipment for 30,000 gold and 15yers of Silver-grade buffs.


    Su Ming felt it was worth the shot.


    Moreover, the added attributes of Lv5 Silver equipment were not as good as a fewyers of buffs, and selling it to Night de me wouldnt pose any threat to himself.


    Su Ming agreed to the deal and sent his coordinates over.


    "You''re also at Azure Lake, great! Brother, wait where you are and I''ll be right over."


    Night de me couldn''t wait to change into his Silver armor.


    "Night de meis also at AzureLake?"


    Seeing the other party''s words, Su Ming was first confused before remembering something.


    There seemed to be a Lv5 team Dungeon on this side of theke.


    However, he hadn''t fought in this Dungeon in his previous life because his strength was too inferior at the time.
