“Eh?”
Lin Bei came back to his senses and looked at the black stone statue in his hand. He was a little surprised.
He had seen the strategy, but it did not say that this stone statue could activate a mission.
[You have triggered the only hidden mission: Elena’s Request! Mission Difficulty: Nightmare Level. Do you accept it?]
Nightmare-level hidden mission?
Lin Bei was stunned. Then, he immediately reacted and chose to accept the mission.
In the game, the difficulty of the mission was divided into five levels: Normal, Difficult, Nightmare, Hell, and Purgatory. The higher the level of the mission, the more generous the rewards!
The only hidden mission was even rarer!
“To… the Fishermen’s Bay in the east of the Holy Light Village… the cave… the magic crystal…”
The black stone sculpture’s voice was intermittent, as if it would dissipate at any moment.
[Elena’s Request (Only hidden, Nightmare Level)]
[Mission Details: Go to the hidden cave in the Fishermen’s Bay to investigate.]
[Mission Reward: Profession Expansion Scroll, 10,000 EXP, 100 gold coins]
[Punishment for failure: None]
“It’s actually a profession expansion scroll! Good stuff.”
Lin Bei’s eyes lit up and he was secretly happy. With the profession expansion scroll, he could have a second profession.
However, the second job change had to be done in the main city. In other words, he had to be at Level 20. Right now, he was only Level 1.
“Looks like I have to hurry up and level up.”
Lin Bei jumped down from the tree and looked at the black stone statue that was about to dissipate.
“Don’t worry, I’ll help you.”
“Thank you… adventurer… May the Holy Light be with you…”
Swoosh!
A pure white light flew up from the black stone statue and landed on Lin Bei.
[Your attitude has attracted Elena’s favor! Elena’s favor +20. Current favor: 20!]
[You have received Elena’s Blessing. Within 2 hours, the free attribute points and potential points obtained would increase by 100%!]
[Elena’s Blessing: Attribute points and potential points obtained would increase by 100%, duration 8.]
Damn! I’ve made a killing!
Lin Bei looked at Elena’s blessing and was dumbfounded.
This Buff was a divine Buff!
Ordinary players could only obtain 5 free attribute points and 1 potential point when leveling up, but now, he had doubled it!
And this Buff was permanent!
It was awesome!
Under normal circumstances, a two-hour Buff would only allow players to level up by two or three levels even if they tried their best. But even so, this Buff was insane enough!
Lin Bei’s Buff would be effective forever!
It was even more awesome!
“Phew, I didn’t expect to receive such an awesome Buff just by being polite. Looks like the 1 point of charm has taken effect.”
Lin Bei looked at the 1 charm point bonus he had obtained from the blessing of the Holy Light Village and sighed.
This was the power of a fixed attribute!
“With this Buff, I have more room to maneuver!”
Lin Bei pondered for a moment and prepared to return to the Holy Light Village. There was still a hidden treasure chest there that had not been opened. He was in a hurry just now to find the black stone statue and did not have the time to open the treasure chest. Now that he had time, he could go back and open the treasure chest. He could also buy some potions that could increase Buff with the game coins he obtained from opening the treasure chest to increase his status before going back to level up.
“Fishermen’s Bay… If I remember correctly, that place seems to be a training area for those above Level 10, right? There seems to be… an Instance Dungeon, right?”
Lin Bei muttered, “With the profession expansion scroll, I can change my second profession. My luck is really good.”
Under normal circumstances, there were only two ways to obtain a profession expansion scroll. The first was to accept a hidden quest like Lin Bei now and have a chance to obtain it. As for the second method, one had to kill a King-tier Boss to have a certain chance to obtain it.
A King-tier Boss was a level higher than a lord-tier Boss. Under normal circumstances, it was at least Level 30. It was not something players could deal with at this stage.
Moreover, although there was a certain probability of drops, the probability was ridiculously low. In his previous life, someone had calculated that an average of 100 King-tier bosses could only drop about 5 profession expansion scrolls!
5% chance!
One had to know that this was a King-tier Boss! It was ridiculously strong! In his previous life, it was known as the “killing engine”!
Ordinary solo players had no chance of killing him.
Even those guild players needed to form an elite team of at least a thousand people to have a chance to “wrestle” with the King-tier Bosses.
Apart from that, King-tier Bosses were extremely rare. Even if one had the ability to kill them, he might not be able to find them.
Therefore, although the 5% drop rate did not seem low, the difficulty of obtaining it was already very ridiculous.
As for the hidden mission?
It was an even more illusory existence. It was not a stable path to produce profession expansion scrolls.
Lin Bei did not go deep into the forest. Instead, he chose to return to the Holy Light Village. To him, killing monsters for another half an hour was meaningless. What he needed to do was to stack buff himself!
Sharpening a knife does not delay the cutting of firewood!
Soon, Lin Bei returned to the Holy Light Village and arrived at the Holy Light Church in the west. A group of players surrounded the church, but the guards at the door did not give in. They could not enter the church at all.
As for barging in?
These Holy Light Guards were at least Level 30 NPCs. In terms of attributes, they were comparable to a Level 30 lord-tier Boss. Not to mention these people, even if the entire Holy Light Village gathered together, they would not stand a chance!
Moreover, these Holy Light Guards were only the weakest existences in the Holy Light Church.
There were even more powerful Holy Light Paladins inside. That was a king-tier Boss. One of them was enough to wipe out the current players of the Holy Light Village!
Lin Bei looked from afar and shook his head with a smile. He did not go up to join in the fun. Instead, he walked around and arrived at an abandoned courtyard on the side of the Holy Light Church. He climbed onto a tree, climbed over the wall, and landed in the abandoned courtyard.
After looking around and seeing that there were no players, he quickly came to the dry well in the small courtyard and jumped in.
At the same time, after Lin Bei silently counted to ten, he suddenly used the Discipline Spell below!
Swoosh!
A golden light lit up, illuminating the surrounding pitch-black space.
Lin Bei used the temporary light and instantly discovered a prismatic stone on the wall of the well. Without a word, he reached out and instantly grabbed the stone in his hand.
At the same time, a System notification sounded in his ears.
[Congratulations to the player for discovering a hidden Silver Treasure Chest!]
[Player Inner Peace has discovered the first hidden treasure chest of Heavenly Might. System announcement is about to be released. Do you want to show your name?]
With a splash, Lin Bei fell into the well water.
“It’s actually a Silver-grade hidden treasure chest! I’ve made a killing!”
Lin Bei’s eyes lit up. Without any hesitation, he chose to remain anonymous and opened the Silver Treasure Chest.
[Obtained Mithril Scepter (Silver)!]
[Received 100 gold coins!]
[Obtained Intermediate Combat Recovery Potions x2!]
“Silver-grade equipment! And it’s a scepter! There’s even a combat recovery potion! And it’s an intermediate-grade one! Haha!”
Lin Bei looked at his inventory and was very satisfied.
——
Mithril Scepter (Lv.5 Silver)
Attributes: Magic Attack +170
Special Effect:
1. Magic Critical Hit Rate +5%;
2. Magic Strength Recovery 10 Magic Points per second for 60 seconds. Cooldown: 10 minutes.
——
Double special effects, Blue Critical Hit Magic Staff!
Good stuff!
Lin Bei licked his lips. Double special effects equipment was already considered top-notch among Silver equipment, let alone these two special effects.
Under normal circumstances, spells would not be able to deal critical hits. However, the existence of a Magic Critical Hit increased a mage’s ability to damage by a level. In addition, the existence of Magic Strength Recovery provided a mage with endurance. Coupled with the extraordinary magic attack power, it was definitely a top-notch existence among Silver-tier!
Moreover, it had only been a few hours since the server opened. It was not an exaggeration to call such equipment a “divine weapon”!
“It’s a pity that I can only be equipped with it at Level 5, but it doesn’t matter. It’s only Level 5. I’ll be there soon!”
Lin Bei smiled and turned to the Intermediate Combat Recovery Potions.
[Intermediate Combat Recovery Potion: Combat Potion. After using it, one would recover 100 Health Points per second for 10 seconds.]
Good stuff!
Lin Bei did not hesitate and drank a bottle.
In the status bar, there was indeed another permanent Buff for “Intermediate-grade Combat Recovery”!
[Intermediate-grade Combat Recovery: Restores 100 Health Points per second. Duration: 8.]
Lin Bei looked at the effect of the Buff and was in a good mood.
His current maximum Health Points were 100 points. With this Buff, he could recover to full Health Points in one second. When he killed monsters, he did not need to move at all. This way, he could greatly increase the efficiency of killing monsters. It was very awesome!
“It’s about time to drown myself. I hope the equipment doesn’t drop, or I’ll have to come back again.”
Lin Bei looked up at the straight well. With his current attributes, it was impossible for him to climb up, so he chose to drown himself.
As for the EXP drop after death?
He was not worried at all. He was only Level 1 and had not leveled up at all. He had not suffered any losses at all. The only thing he needed to worry about was probably the combat potions and Mithril Scepter in his bag.
It was best not to drop them. Otherwise, he would have to make another trip to retrieve them.
As for the disappearance of equipment, the equipment dropped after a player died could last for 2 hours. Meanwhile, it would only take him at most 3 minutes to rush from the rebirth point to this ancient well. He did not have to worry at all.
At most, he would be unlucky and make a few more trips.
Lin Bei dove into the well water without holding his breath, waiting for death.
***
In the Holy Light Village, Brother Chicken is Big had already recruited no less than twenty Priests.
At this moment, he was complacent and arrived at the gathering point of the Fighting Shark Empire.
The guild leader of Fighting Shark Empire, Flying Dragon in the Sky, looked at the group of Priest players behind Brother Chicken Is Big and smiled.
“Well done. Including the Priests on your side, we’ve already recruited 100 Priests. That’s about enough!”
Flying Dragon in the Sky patted his shoulder and praised.
“Haha, of course. Brother Dragon, when we do things, we have to pay attention to efficiency!”
Suddenly, a loud System notification sounded in the sky above the Holy Light Village.
[System Notification: Player “Anonymous” discovered Heavenly Might’s first hidden treasure chest (Silver) in Holy Light Village!]
Whoosh!
The sudden System notification caused the entire Holy Light Village to boil!
“Which damn big shot is this? It’s only been a few hours since the server opened, right? He actually discovered a hidden treasure chest! And it’s even Silver-grade!”
“Silver Treasure Chest! At least reward one Silver equipment! The current Heavenly Might has just opened its server. It can be said to be a divine weapon!”
“Boss! Please carry me!”
“Lucky player, please carry me!”
In the Holy Light Village, all the players were extremely envious. Even if such an existence was not a skilled big shot, it was still an existence with monstrous luck!
If they could team up to level up, would they be afraid of lacking equipment?
Flying Dragon in the Sky was stunned for a moment before he suddenly became excited.
“I didn’t expect such a big shot to exist in our Holy Light Village! Little Chicken, send someone to investigate! If you find him, don’t be rash! See if you can rope him in! Remember, don’t offend him!”
“Brother Dragon, I understand! I’ve always had good foresight. How could I offend such a big shot?”
Brother Chicken Is Big rubbed his bald head and said with a smile.
Suddenly, a figure flashed past, causing his smile to freeze.
“What happened to you?”
Flying Dragon in the Sky noticed his abnormality and asked.
“Haha, I’m fine. I just saw a Level 1 noob Priest who had learned the Discipline Spell! He even rejected my invitation! He had just been revived at the rebirth point and lost all his equipment. He’s running around in his underpants!”
Brother Chicken laughed and pointed in a direction.
Everyone looked over and immediately burst into laughter.
“Haha, everyone, his back view is so funny!”
“That’s right! He actually learned Discipline Spell at level-1. I can’t laugh anymore! He’s indeed a noob!”
The 30 Priests that Brother Chicken had recruited laughed out loud. A level-1 Priest learning Discipline Spell was like a fighter jet among rookies!
“Haha, it’s just a novice competition. Everyone, ignore it! Let’s gather our manpower and level up quickly! After a while, the Boss of the Holy Light Village will probably be refreshed. We have to take it down!”
Flying Dragon in the Sky took a quick glance at the running figure and ignored him. It was just a novice competition. He was glad that the other party had rejected his guild’s invitation. If he brought such a good Priest to kill the Boss, who knew what kind of trouble he would cause!
***
At the same time, the few Holy Light Village guilds who were gathering their manpower and preparing to push the Boss heard the System announcement and looked over, making corresponding countermeasures.
[Unparalleled Windcloud: Team Windcloud is recruiting! Brother Luck, I have the intention to contact you! Professional teams will help you level up and fly!]
[Green Collar: Lucky Boss! Please carry me!]
[Flying Dragon in the Sky:Brother Luck! Welcome to Fighting Shark Empire!]
The three major guilds that had gathered in the Holy Light Village all sent out a regional recruitment notice. As long as it was a player in the Holy Light Village, they would be able to see it.
Such a regional message cost 1 Gold Coin, which was equivalent to 100 Ocean Blue Coins. It was not something ordinary players could afford.
Lin Bei, who was wearing a pair of shorts, looked at the regional news and smiled faintly. He ignored it and ran towards the prop shop of the Holy Light Village.
He was in a good mood. Although he had dropped a pile of trash equipment, he had not dropped the Silver scepter or the Combat Potion. Moreover, he was lucky. He had only dropped a few hundred Copper Coins. Currently, to him, it did not matter at all.
In Second World, 1 gold coin = 100 silver coins = 10,000 bronze coins. Now, he had 99 gold coins, which was at least equivalent to 9,900 Ocean Blue coins!
“I’ve only been in the game for less than half an hour and I’ve already earned almost 10,000 Ocean Blue coins! Moreover, the server has just opened, so the purchase price of gold coins might not be just 100 Ocean Blue coins! It might be even higher!”
Lin Bei was overjoyed. At this rate, he would soon earn more Ocean Blue coins!
When the time came, his parents would not have to continue running around!
His sister’s illness would also be treated!
Lin Bei clenched his fists tightly, his gaze firm.
“This is only the first step!”
***
In the Holy Light Village, the prop shopkeeper looked at the shiny gold coins on the counter and smiled.
“Sir, this is the potion you wanted. Keep it properly!”
The shopkeeper smiled and took out a wooden box. He pushed it in front of Lin Bei and gave him a thumbs up.
“Little brother, you’re so generous. This is the first time I’ve seen someone so generous among those who descended! I think highly of you!”
Swoosh!
A golden light descended and enveloped Lin Bei.
[Shopkeeper Jin’s blessing! Duration: 1 hour! During the blessing period, drop rate +100%, drop quality +1!]
[Shopkeeper Jin’s Blessing: drop rate +100%, drop quality +1, duration 8]
Lin Bei was speechless.
It’s only been half an hour, right? I’ve already obtained two divine Buffs?
‘Well…’
“I’ve high hopes for you, boy!”
Hearing the shopkeeper’s praise, Lin Bei left the prop shop in a daze.
