Chapter 8


    In front of me, there are only two choices. Be killed by the Variation me Bat Kill the Variation me Bat


    If I have enough healing potions, I could kill this variation me bat without any problems. But right now I have but five bottles of healing potions. Each bottle would only restore 100 hit points. Add this sum to my original health, I only have about 780 hit points. Whether this is enough to kill this variation bat is a huge question mark.


    But at this moment, with the variation bat attacking me, I could not consider too much. I immediately drank a healing potion. I had no choice  my health was getting low.


    Cha Cha~!


    Then I hit the Variation me Bat twice, and again, I managed to knock it 200 hitpoints off it. But the Variation me Bat retaliation attack forced me to drink another healing potion


    As the battle heated up, I did not think too much, and just focus on chopping the variation bat with all my might. Suddenly, my de seemed to hit the mouth of the bat, and a massive -256 damage number appear on top of its head!


    I was surprised, but quickly recovered from my surprise. In this game, almost all creatures have weak points. If you focus on the weak points of the creature, it is theoretically possible to win against the creature with half the amount of effort! And the weakness of this variation bat in front of me seemed to be the green colour mouth.


    Therefore, I aimed my sword to focus my attacks at its mouth. As my sword slipped into its mouth, a massive -248 damage number appears!


    Seeing the health of this boss creature rapidly diminishing, I was ted and continued to attack. Every two or three hits, I couldnd a critical hit.


    As I reached into my bag, I was shocked to discover that I had used up all my healing potions. I cursed! Shit! Just when the battle is getting critical, I do not have any more healing potions left! Damn it!


    At this time, the Variation Bat did not have much health left. It opened it huge mouth and attempt to bite me.


    I had only 140 points of health remaining, and could only endure the attack.


    I bit down on my lips and charged forwards with my sword, and my sword entered into the mouth of the Variation Bat.


    It hurts all over, and my health pummelled by a shocking 120 points. But at the same time, I heard a very weed ding sound.


    Ding ~!


    System Notice: You killed the Variation me Bat, and received 480 points of experience!


    System Notice: You have gained a level.


    Ding Dong!


    The Variation me Bat also dropped some stuff, and several silver coins!


    That is a shiny war axe!


    I was shocked! Did I just strike gold? This item is shining and seemed to be coloured. Is it a magical item? Did I just receive the first magical item in the game?


    I immediately pick up the axe and check it  <strong></strong><strong>Shiny War Axe</strong>Steel Item


    Attack12-18


    Strength+4


    Required Level6


    Hahaha, this is a steel item, and it is also magical. It also increased my strength by 4 points. That is exactly what I wanted!


    I immediately equipped my shiny war axe and my attack immediately increased to 33-40. This could be one of the highest damage in the beginners vige.


    I also picked up the silver coins from the floor. This is indeed a powerful beast, and is so much more generous than normal me bats! It dropped 4 silver coins!


    I was so happy as I kept the coins carefully. With the other coins I earned from the drops of the me bats, the total amount of money I had earn is a whopping 23 silvers and 68 coppers!


    I am still far away from the requirement to earn two gold coins. But nevermind, it is still early. I believe that if I continue at this pace, I will definitely be able to earn two gold coins.


    Therefore, I packed my stuff, and headed back to the beginners vige.


    At this time, the vige was full of new yers. Of course, out of 10,000 yers, 9999 of them were still armed with the rubbish level wooden stick. Therefore, my shiny war axe became the focus of envy as soon as I step into beginners vige.


    I was so scared that I immediately choose to hide my name. If someone target me and try to steal my item, that would be extremely bad. I am do not wish to PK (yer killer) at this time  PK could be left forter. But now, time is precious, and I should use this time to gain more levels first.


    I found Captain Ma Su, and handed over the 20 sks of bats blood. He immediately shown a surprised expression as he remarked: Brave warrior, you really did it! I did not expected you to be able to defeat these terrible bats! Here is your reward!


    Ding ~!


    System notice: Congrattions onpletely the question<strong>[Clear the fields]</strong>. You have gained 2400 experience points, 24 silver coins, +10 to reputation and received an item<strong>[Wilderness Boots]</strong>!


    I was so excited! Another equipment!  <strong></strong><strong>Wilderness Boots</strong>Steel item


    Defence14


    Strength+2


    Agility+1


    Required Level6


    Another Steel level item! This time it is even more awesome. It actually provided an increase to two stats! Although the increase is minimal


    With the experience points rewards, I had levelled up to level 7, and after equipping the Wilderness boots, my defence had reach 26, while my attack had reached a whopping 35-45!


    Trantor notes:


    Did he forgot to assign his stats again for thest two levels?:P


    Looking my sword, I immediately ran up to the vige entrance and gave a shout. Sword with Attack of 1-4 for sale! If you are interested, please make an offer. This offer is only good for three minutes!


    And to my surprise, I was swarmed with hordes of yers who crowded around me and angrily bellow: Sell it to me! Sell it to me!


    Facing the crowd, I immediately shouted: The highest bidder wins!


    Very quickly, many people begin to count their money. One of them shouted: I offer 1 silver coin!


    Another man shouted: 1 silver? You think you are buying a chicken is it? I offer 2 silvers


    Arge shout erupt! Handsome! Sell the weapon to me, I will be your wife!


    The crowd scolded the shameless shouter severely: Shit! You look so bad and still dared to stand out! Quickly go back to Mars!


    At this time, a yer walked out and said: I offer 20 silvers. Sell it to me!


    20 silvers. Once this price is shouted out, the surrounding men all became quiet. Who is so rich as to gain 20 silvers in such a short time?


    As I looked around, I saw that no one else could afford to offer this price. Therefore, I initiated a trade with him, and exchange the sword for 20 silvers. At the same time, I remember his name  Dragon Soul Sword Fire.


    Looks like this is a professional yer. Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to earn so much silvers in such a short time.


    I was very happy. A broken sword could sell for such a high price. If I take out my axe or my boots for sale, how much could I make?


    Of course, I will not really sell these items. With these items, I can quickly gain levels, and get more and better equipment.


    After leaving the crowd, I quickly made my way to the potion shops. I was perturbed that a potion that heal 100 hit points cost 20 coppers, but a potion that heals 300 hit points cost 2 silver! The difference is so big. But the effect is also much stronger. Now that I have reached level 7, my health is 320, and using the 300 hit points potion is just nice.


    Actually, the higher the grade of potions, the faster the health is restored. Sometimes, having a higher grade potion can save my life!


    Looking at my backpack, I now have 43 silvers and 68 coppers. I spent almost all my money to buy 15 light healing potions (that restore 300 hit points), and purchase 27 minor healing potions (that restore 100 hit points). In times of emergencies, I will use the light healing potions. But in between fights, a minor healing potion should be more than enough.


    Once again, I be penniless!


    I believe that I should be able to get back my investment. As I return to Captain Su Ma to enquire about any other possible quests, Captain Su Ma seemed to say The Vige Chief seemed to be troubled by something.


    Yi, is this a hint?


    I immediately returned to the vige, and visited the vige Chief. He lived in the biggest hut in the middle of the vige. At this time, most of the yers were outside of the vige grinding levels, and few if any remains in the vige. Therefore I was the only one who entered the hut and visited the vige Chief.


    Upon seeing me, the Vige Chief immediately sigh, The evil demons had begun to attack the area around Twilight City. Our vige is also affected by this attack. At the west side of the vige,rge number of evil creatures have appeared. Young man, are you willing to help us?


    Ding~!


    System prompt: Will you ept this quest?


    I immediately confirmed that I epted the quest.


    The Vige Elder continued to speak: A team of brave conscript soldiers are trapped within an outpost on the west side. Hopefully, you can save them.


    Ding ~!


    System notice: You have ept the quest<strong>[Clear the Outpost]</strong>! (Beginners quest. Difficulty: 80)


    Quest Details: Go to the west of the vige, and find the outpost. Kill the slimes there, and retrieve 100 slime medals.


    I was so stunned like a vegetable. What the hell is slime medal? I had never heard that slimes got a medal for meritorious service!


    I put my thoughts to the back of my head. It does not matter. I should know when I reach there.


    This mission difficulty is 80. With my current level of 7, these slimes should not be any lower in level than myself. As well, I need to collect 100 slime medals. This is really very troublesome  an ordinary creature only drops a quest item 20% of the time. This also mean that I need to kill about 500 slimes toplete this mission!


    Therefore, I picked up my Shiny War Axe, and headed towards the West area.


    Perhaps my Shiny War Axe really stand out, but very quickly a lot of people threw looks of envy towards me. But they did not do anything.


    But just when I left the vige, I heard a voice behind me. Friend, I can ask you something?


    I turned around and found that there were three level 6 yers standing behind me. They seemed to have followed me for a long time, and their name are simr  all of their name begins with Fated. Fated Madman, Fated Turbulence, and Fated Bloodthirsty. What weird names!


    The most interesting thing is that Fated Turbulence is a very beautiful woman, and the shabby beginner clothes could barely hide her towering twin peaks.


    I had not met a top ss beauty like Ling Xue, I think I would be struck dumb by this Fate Turbulence and lost my senses.


    Looking at that, I immediately asked: What do you want?


    Fated Madmenughed out aloud and pointed towards my axe. Will you sell your weapon?


    I immediately shook my head: Of course not!


    Fated Madman looked sinister as he asked: What if we insist on buying?


    I was shocked, but I smiled and asked: How do you proposed to buy it?
