After leaving the prop store, Lin Bei ran all the way to Gloomy Jungle.
Along the way, he looked at his Buffs again and again.
“Any one of these Buffs is ridiculously strong.”
Lin Bei sighed in his heart. Elena’s Prayer had greatly reduced his cooldown time and increased his attack power. Elena’s Blessing allowed him to obtain attribute points and potential points that far exceeded ordinary people. Shopkeeper Jin’s Blessing allowed him to have an extremely high probability of killing monsters and productivity.
Each of these three Buffs was comparable to a powerful talent!
And he had three at once!
And these were only his gains from entering the game for half an hour!
Unbelievable!
Apart from that, with the other Buffs, his current endurance was also very strong. With these Buffs, not to mention an experienced expert like him, even if he casually pulled a normal player over, it would be easy for him to level up quickly!
After all, he could recover 105 Health Points every second. All he needed to do was to stand still and use his skills. He did not need to move at all!
Moreover, there was no need to form a team. If he enjoyed the experience alone, his leveling speed would definitely be shockingly fast!
“It’s time to level up!”
Lin Bei thought to himself and quickened his pace.
At the same time, he did not forget to open a pile of boxes of potions that he had bought from the prop shop for 5 gold coins and began to drink them desperately.
[Using Novice Magic Power Regeneration Potion, Magic Recovery 10 points per second for 10 seconds! Unlimited Buff effective! Duration extended to 8!]
[Using Novice Mobility Potion, movement speed is increased by 20%, duration 10 seconds! Unlimited Buff effective! Duration extended to 8!]
[Using Novice Tenacity Potion, Physical Defense +20…]
[Using Novice Health Potion, Maximum Health +100…]
[Using Novice Magic Power Potion, Maximum Magic Power +100…]
[Used Novice Magic Strength Potion, Magic Strength +5…]
[Used Novice Constitution Potion, Constitution +5…]
[Using Novice Agility Potion, Agility +5…]
As he ran, Lin Bei drank non-stop. The Buffs on his body were stacked layer by layer, and the duration of the Buffs became unlimited under the effect of his talent!
“Hahaha, this feels great!”
Lin Bei couldn’t help but laugh. As expected of a level-SSS talent, he was ridiculously powerful!
With this, all the Buffs could be extended indefinitely. As time passed, his Buffs would increase, and his attributes would definitely increase.
However, it was a pity that Buffs of the same type seemed to replace each other. High-level Buffs would automatically replace low-level Buffs. Just like now, he used an Intermediate Health Potion and his maximum Health Points increased by 1,000 points, but the 100 Health Points increase provided by the Novice Health Potion was directly replaced.
This made Lin Bei feel a little regretful.
However, the flaws did not hide the beauty. This Unlimited Buff talent was already powerful enough.
It was worth mentioning that the blessing of the Holy Light Village also had a recovery effect, but it was not replaced by other Buffs with a recovery effect. Therefore, Lin Bei guessed that only Buffs with the same name would be replaced. Of course, this was only a guess. As for the specifics, it remained to be tested.
“However, with my current attributes, it’s enough to farm monsters and level up.”
He glanced at his attribute list. After taking a bunch of potions, his attributes had changed quite a bit.
——-
Health Points: 1,160
Magic Power: 340
Magic Attack: 58
Physical Defense: 20
Health Recovery: 105/s
Magic Recovery: 15/s
——-
Then, Lin Bei opened the leaderboard and took a look. The first place on the Heavenly Might leaderboard was a player called Forest Wood. He was Level 6 and had 42% EXP.
“Not bad, but with me around, it won’t be long before the first place is changed!”
Lin Bei chuckled and stepped into Gloomy Jungle.
Gloomy Jungle was a training area for those below Level 10 in Holy Light Village. The monsters here were mainly Goblins, Feline Demons, and Minotaurs. Lin Bei glanced at his Level 1 Discipline Spell, 150% Magic Power damage. Coupled with the 100% Holy Light damage bonus from Elena’s Blessing, he only needed to use Discipline Spell to deal 174 true damage to the target.
“Hmm… In terms of Health Points, among the same level, the Minotaur is the highest, followed by the Goblin, and the Feline Demon is the lowest. In that case, it’s more cost-effective for me to kill the Feline Demons.”
Lin Bei pondered for a moment and finally made a decision.
“I’ll take out the Level 3 Feline Demon first. The maximum health of a Level 3 Feline Demon is only 170 points. I could just kill it instantly.”
Soon, Lin Bei arrived at the Poisonous Swamp area in Gloomy Jungle.
[Attention! Affected by the poisonous fog. Health Point -1 per second!]
“Haha.”
Lin Bei smiled faintly and ignored the effects of the poisonous fog. One point of poison damage was nothing compared to his current 105 Health Point recovery.
If other Level 1 players came here, they might be flustered, but it did not affect him at all.
[Feline Demon (LV.3)]
“Found it!”
Lin Bei’s eyes lit up. He leaned against a big tree and looked at the jungle in the distance. Five brown Feline Demons were wandering around.
Discipline Spell!
‘-174!’
Swoosh!
Golden holy light descended, and a Feline Demon instantly fell to the ground.
[You have killed a Feline Demon (Lv.3). You have received 24 experience points!]
The other four Feline Demons reacted instantly. After meowing, they quickly ran in Lin Bei’s direction.
However, Lin Bei was calm and did not panic at all. After the two-second cooldown period of the Discipline Spell ended, another Discipline Spell landed on a Level 3 Feline Demon at the front.
‘-174!’
...
[You have killed a Feline Demon (Lv.3). You have received 24 experience points!]
Discipline Spell!
‘-174!’
In less than five seconds, he used Discipline Spell three times in a row and killed three Feline Demons. At this moment, the remaining two Feline Demons barely reached Lin Bei.
Level 1 Discipline Spell had a casting range of 30 meters. Only the Feline Demons were faster. If it were the Minotaur, it would probably take twice as long to rush over.
“Meow!”
The two Feline Demons cooperated well. They leaped out from left and right, and their sharp claws attacked Lin Bei’s left ribs and right shoulder!
However, such cooperation was nothing in Lin Bei’s eyes.
Lin Bei moved his feet slightly. Instead of retreating, he took half a step forward. At the same time, he tilted his body and easily dodged the attacks of the two Feline Demons!
However, this was not the end!
As Lin Bei dodged, he quickly waved the novice magic staff in his hand and hit the back of the neck of the Feline Demon on the left!
-48! (Critical Weakness Hit!)
-48! (Critical Weakness Hit!)
Swoosh!
The left Feline Demon’s Health Points instantly decreased by less than half!
Not only that, but it also lost its balance and fell to the ground.
Lin Bei rushed forward with his magic staff and added two hits.
With two bangs, the Level 3 Feline Demon died under Lin Bei’s sudden blows!
“What a pity. The physical damage is too little. Although it triggered a critical hit, it still required four consecutive hits to resolve. If he were an Assassin, they would have been dealt with in a single move.”
Lin Bei sighed. At this moment, the Discipline Spell’s cooldown period was over. Without a word, he landed on the last Feline Demon and killed it.
A golden light lit up.
[You’ve leveled up!]
[You have obtained 5 basic attribute points!]
[You have obtained 1 potential point!]
[Detected Elena’s Blessing! You have received an additional 5 basic attribute points and 1 potential point!]
In less than ten seconds, he had reached Level 2.
After all, in Second World, advancing from Level 1 to Level 2 was the easiest. It only required 100 experience points. It was a small test.
As for the experience to advance from Level 2 to Level 3, it directly went up by ten times, requiring a total of 1,000 points!
Take the Feline Demons that he had just killed for example. A Level 3 Feline Demon gave 20 EXP. If a five-man team with an average of Level 2 came here to kill Feline Demons to level up, they would only get 4 EXP per person. In other words, to advance to Level 3, they would need to kill a total of 250 Level 3 Feline Demons!
Coupled with the fact that they were in the Poisonous Swamp, they would also suffer 1 poisonous fog damage per second. To ordinary players, this was simply a nightmare!
However, to Lin Bei, who was killing monsters above his level alone, it was just killing monsters for a few more minutes. It did not affect him much. It was just a pity for the other players who had teamed up to level up.
Lin Bei grinned and did not think too much about it. He directly added all 10 free attribute points to the Magic Strength attribute. At the same time, all 2 potential points were used to strengthen the Discipline Spell.
With that, his Magic Attack had increased to 68 points, and his Discipline Spell had increased to 190%. In other words, his Discipline Spell could now deal more than 250 points of damage!
“This way, I can farm Level 5 Feline Demons.”
Lin Bei did not go deep into the Poisonous Swamp immediately. Instead, he patiently put away the items dropped by the five Feline Demons.
There were a total of 3 pieces of Iron-grade equipment and 15 bronze coins.
“Shopkeeper Jin’s Blessing is indeed powerful. Originally, these ordinary monsters could only drop ordinary equipment, but under the effect of ‘Drop Quality +1’, they actually dropped Iron equipment!”
Lin Bei looked at the three pieces of Iron equipment, one robe, one pair of shorts, and one ring.
——-
Feline Demon Robe (LV.2)
Quality: Iron
Attributes: Defense +12
Special Effect:
1. Magic Strength +5
2. Magic Strength +5
——-
Feline Demon Shorts (LV.2)
Quality: Iron
Attributes: Defense +6
Special Effect:
1. Magic Strength +2
2. Magic Strength +3
——-
Feline Demon Ring (LV.2)
Quality: Iron
[Special Effect:
1. Strong Poison: When attacking a target, there is a 3% chance that the target will be poisoned. -20 Health Points per second for 10 seconds.]
——-
The attributes were not bad!
Not to mention the two pieces of equipment, they provided a total of nearly 20 points of defense. Moreover, it was a special effect of a double increase of magic power. It directly provided Lin Bei with 15 points of Magic Strength attribute bonus!
However, the Feline Demon ring made Lin Bei fall into deep thought.
“Does strong poison count as a Buff? From the look of it, since it’s effective against the enemy, … isn’t it beneficial for me to hurt the enemy? If that’s the case, will the duration become unlimited?”
Lin Bei’s eyelids twitched and his breathing quickened.
At the thought of this, he could not hold back anymore. He put on his new equipment and continued to enter the Poisonous Swamp to farm monsters!
A few minutes later, the poison finally took effect on a Feline Demon!
[Strong Poison: Reduces target’s Health Points by 20 points per second. Duration: 8.]
“Haha! As expected!”
Lin Bei’s eyes lit up. He had a new understanding of his Unlimited Buff talent.
“From the looks of it, not only will it poison, it will also burn and bleed… All these Debuff damages to the enemy will be greatly improved under the effect of my talent!”
Lin Bei’s eyes flickered. He was already thinking about whether he should get another debuff set to strengthen his damage output.
As time passed, as he went deeper into the Poisonous Swamp, the damage of the poisonous fog had increased from 1 point to 5 points, and the surrounding Feline Demons had also increased to Level 5!
At the same time, his level had increased to Level 3!
He added all his Magic Strength points and potential points to strengthen his Discipline Spell.
Currently, he was already wearing five Iron-grade Feline Demon equipment, which provided him with a total of 25 Magic Strength attribute bonuses!
At this moment, his magic attack had exceeded a hundred, reaching a terrifying 138 points!
Of course, this was not the main point. Most importantly, his Discipline Spell had finally reached the maximum level. The terrifying bonus of Level 5 Discipline Spell had allowed his current damage to increase terrifyingly again!
——-
Discipline Spell: Level 5 (Maximum)
Deals 230% Divine Attribute (317 points) Judgment Damage to target. (Judgment Damage: Ignores true defense damage)
Spellcasting Range: 35 meters
Cooldown: 10 seconds
Consumption: 35 Magic Power
——-
With more than 300 points of Judgment Damage, coupled with the 100% damage bonus from Elena’s Prayer, he could deal more than 600 damage points to the enemy with just one Discipline Spell!
And now, he was only Level 3!
Other than that, Elena’s Prayer also had a 90% cooldown period reduction. Originally, Discipline Spell had a cooldown period of 10 seconds, but to Lin Bei, it was only 1 second!
“Terrifying.”
Lin Bei thought to himself.
Now, how could he still look like a Priest hiding behind the crowd and healing his teammates? He was completely a mobile magic cannon with explosive damage!
Ordinary players were only around Level 3 now. Even if they were Warriors with all their Constitution points added, they would probably only have more than 300 Health Points. Before his Discipline Spell, which would deal 600 damage points, they were nothing!
“This Judgment Damage ignores defense. How shameless!”
Lin Bei muttered to himself, “This Priest… seems to be a bit more fun? Will I still need to clean some points in the future? Forget it, I’ll just farm more profession expansion scrolls and continue to play.”
***
1st Server, Divine Opening Battlefield.
Chen Changsheng was hit by an enormous fireball and fell to the ground, unable to get up.
“Hehe, you lost again. Remember to transfer 1 million Ocean Blue coins to me later. Also, if there’s such a good thing next time, remember to call me!”
A golden-haired man covered in red armor fell from the sky and landed on the ground. He lowered his head to look at Chen Changsheng, who was lying motionless on the ground like a dead dog, and stepped forward.
BANG!
-10,086! (Critical hit!)
[The battle is over! Victor-Deity Apollo!]
“Damn! What’s there for this dog to be proud of! Isn’t he just relying on his level-S talent! Just relying on his skills, what are you! Damn it, I’m so angry!”
Chen Changsheng lowered his head and glanced at his level-A talent. The corners of his mouth twitched, but in the end, he stomped his foot and logged off.
“Damn, I’m going to the 9th Server to get a level-S talent! Pineapple Monster, just you wait. The first place on the heavenly leaderboard will be mine sooner or later!”
After logging off, Chen Changsheng instructed the steward to buy over a hundred helmets.
“Get someone to create a character. If you don’t have a level-S talent, continue buying and farming!”
“Yes, Young Master.”
“Hmm… I’ll do it too.”
Chen Changsheng did not say much. He directly picked up a virtual helmet, put it on, and entered the game to create a character.
[Please enter the character name.]
“Inner Peace.”
[Sorry! Duplicate character! Please rename it!]
“Damn, even a random name turned out to be a duplicate? Forget it, let’s call it ‘Cao Fei Apollo’!”
[Character creation successful! Talent randomly generated!]
[Congratulations on obtaining the level-S talent “World Destruction”!]
“Damn, one shot to the soul! Hahaha, the heavens are really helping me! Pineapple Monster, I also have a level-S talent! Just you wait!”
Chen Changsheng looked at the level-S talent he had obtained and was overjoyed. He completely did not realize that he had already brushed past the level-SSS talent.
***
[You’ve leveled up!]
In the Poisonous Swamp, Lin Bei’s body lit up with a golden light.
It had been an hour since he started farming monsters and leveling up. He had finally reached Level 5.
“I’m finally Level 5! I can put on the Mithril Scepter!”
——-
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.
——-
Powerful attributes!
He put on the Mithril Scepter and activated the Magic Strength Recovery that came with the equipment!
[Successfully activated Magic Strength Recovery! Magic Recovery 10 points per second for 60 seconds!]
[Magic Strength Recovery: Restores 10 Magic Points per second. Duration: 8.]
“Haha! They didn’t replace the Basic Magic Power Recovery Buff! As I expected, only Buffs with the same name will be replaced! It’s just that Buffs with the same functions will not be replaced as long as they are not the same!”
Lin Bei’s eyes lit up, and the worry in his heart finally eased.
Then, he looked at the skill bar. After Level 5, there were two new skills in the Priest’s skill bar!
——-
Holy Light Recovery (lv.1)
Grants 20% (+20%/lv) magic damage to the target for 5 seconds.
Spellcasting Range: 20 meters (+1.25m/lv)
Cooldown: 30 seconds (-2.5s/lv)
Magic Power Consumption: 50 points (+12.5/lv)
——-
Holy Light Burst (lv.1)
Deals 100% (+25%/lv) magic damage to a target within a 6-meter straight line, and adds Holy Flame effect to target. Deals 10 (+10/lv) damage points every second for 10 seconds.
Spellcasting Range: 6 meters (+1/lv)
Cooldown: 30 seconds (-2.5/lv)
Magic Power Consumption: 50 points (+12.5/lv)
——-
Lin Bei frowned slightly. Right now, he still had 4 potential points. It was impossible to max out both skills, so he could only choose.
Soon, he made a decision.
+3 Holy Light Recovery, +1 Holy Light Burst.
As for damage output, the Discipline Spell, which dealt real damage, was enough for now. The Level 1 Holy Light Burst was to make up for the lack of AoE attacks. In addition, he had an unlimited amount of Holy Flame damage to increase his damage output.
As for the Holy Light Recovery, there was an explanation.
Level 3 Holy Light Recovery could give him a 60% magic damage recovery Buff. The key was still the permanent Buff. Now that he was equipped with the Mithril Scepter, his magic attack was as high as 350 points. Coupled with Elena’s Prayer, the Level 3 Holy Light Recovery effect could reach 420 points per second!
Coupled with the stacked Health Points recovery effect, after using Holy Light Recovery, his Health Points recovery would directly exceed 500 points!
Such a terrifying recovery effect meant that he could do whatever he wanted in the entire Holy Light Village!
Unless someone could kill him instantly, there was no chance of killing him!
Only by holding the ground could they deal damage!
With his current attributes, he could even kill a lord-tier Boss!
Lin Bei was very confident about this!
Boom!
Right at that moment, a violent explosion sounded from the depths of the Poisonous Swamp. Countless lightning bolts descended and flames overflowed!
[System Notification: Attention! Lord Boss – “Falling Thunder Karno” has descended into the depths of the Poisonous Swamp! Please go and kill him as soon as possible!]
[System Notification: Attention! Lord Boss – “Falling Thunder Karno” has descended into the depths of the Poisonous Swamp! Please go and kill him as soon as possible!]
[System Notification: Attention! Lord Boss – “Falling Thunder Karno” has descended into the depths of the Poisonous Swamp! Please go and kill him as soon as possible!]
Three System notifications sounded in a row. All the players in the entire Holy Light Village area went crazy!
“The Boss has arrived! This is the first Boss in the novice village! The rewards for the first killing must be extremely generous!”
“Brothers! Here’s our chance! Let’s go kill the Boss!”
“Let’s go together!”
“…”
In the Holy Light Village, the three major guilds that had been preparing for a long time quickly took action!
Fighting Shark Empire had already gathered more than 300 players, including 100 Warriors, 100 Priests, and more than 100 remaining players. Although most of these players were only Level 3, with their numbers, it was more than enough to kill a lord-tier Boss!
The only thing they had to worry about was the other guilds and players causing trouble!
“Brothers! The first killing of this Boss must belong to our Fighting Shark Empire!”
Flying Dragon in the Sky shouted, “If anyone dares to ruin our plans, we won’t rest until we die!”
“Fight to the death!”
“Fight to the death!”
“Fight to the death!”
***
In the Windcloud Guild, twenty people stood together, their gazes solemn.
Unparalleled Windcloud said in a low voice, “Let’s end this quickly and take down the Boss as soon as possible! Are you confident?”
“Big Brother, we’re professional players. Although we’re only in the secondary league, our skills are still very strong. Moreover, we’re all Level 5 and have learned new skills. It’s easy for us to deal with that Boss!”
In the team, a female Assassin named I Love to Eat Lychees said with a smile.
“Let’s go!”
***
Azure Plume Guild, Green Collar glanced at the surrounding guild members and sighed.
“Green, don’t be dejected. We have more than a hundred people. There’s still a chance!”
Unparalleled Plume patted Green Collar’s shoulder and comforted her.
“That’s the only way. Although we’re not well-prepared, we have a lot of potions and our endurance is not weak! There’s still a chance!”
Green Collar gritted her teeth. With a wave of her little hand, she led everyone towards Gloomy Jungle.
***
While the other guilds were sharpening their weapons and heading into the depths of Gloomy Jungle, Lin Bei, who had just changed into his Mithril Scepter, had already arrived at the depths of the Poisonous Swamp.
[You have discovered the Thunder Ruins!]
At this moment, there was a huge ruin the size of four football fields. Thunderclouds covered the sky above the ruin. From time to time, lightning would fall and bombard the broken walls below, bringing with it dazzling flames.
“This is it!”
Lin Bei looked into the depths of the ruins.
A silver-white Goblin that was nearly three meters tall and as strong as an ox was sitting on a ruined throne with a curved saber in his hand. Around him, 30 elite Goblin soldiers were patrolling in an orderly manner.
“The System has just announced that the others will be here in at most ten minutes. Looks like I have to end this quickly!”
Lin Bei’s gaze darkened. He glanced at the patrol tracks of the 30 elite Goblin soldiers and memorized them. Then, he used the grass and shadows to quietly approach the depths of the Thunder Ruins!
