After opening the video link of the System message, Lin Bei was enlightened.
It turned out that someone had recorded the previous battle and uploaded it to the forum. As the “main lead”, he naturally received his share of the profits.
The video had a total of 5,000,000 views, and every 10,000 views earned 100 Ocean Blue coins. In total, there were 50,000 Ocean Blue coins, which was equivalent to 333 gold coins. Lin Bei had 90% of the profits, so 300 gold coins were directly transferred into his account.
“Not bad. Now, including the gold coins dropped from killing monsters, I have a total of 2,000 gold coins in my account. Shopkeeper Jin of the Holy Light Village is a good person. I’ll patronize his business later and see if there’s anything good.”
Lin Bei did not care about the exposure of the video and focused on farming monsters.
He was currently farming Level 10 Minotaurs. Each Minotaur could give him 110 EXP. With his current speed, he could reach Level 10 in 10 minutes at most.
At that time, if he changed into a set of Platinum equipment, his attributes would be even more explosive.
His growth was very fast. Even if other players obtained some information about him from the video, it would not affect him at all!
Ten minutes passed in the blink of an eye.
[You’ve leveled up!]
Swoosh!
Lin Bei’s body lit up with a golden light and he reached Level 10.
“Finally!”
Lin Bei was overjoyed and immediately equipped himself with the Limit Magic Staff and White Wings.
At the same time, he also put on the few pieces of Platinum-grade equipment that he had prepared in advance.
All of a sudden, his attributes skyrocketed!
——-
Health Points: 7,200
Magic Strength: 8000
Magic Attack: 2000
Physical Attack: 600
Physical/Magic Defense: 600/1000
Physical Critical Hit Rate: 15%
Magic Critical Hit Rate: 30%
——-
“It’s not enough!”
Lin Bei looked at the Stone Daggers in his bag. There were a total of 15 of them, which could be used to strengthen the equipment’s attributes!
[Enhancement successful! The special effects of the Limit Magic Staff have increased!]
He used five Stone Daggers in a row, and the five special effects of the Limit Magic Staff all became “+150 Magic Attack”!
With that, his magic attack increased by 250 points again, reaching 2,250 points!
[You have used Holy Light Recovery (Lv.5) on yourself! Health Points recovery is 2,450 points per second. Duration: 8.]
After being equipped with the special equipment, White Wings, Lin Bei’s Holy Light damage increased by another 45%. Now, with a Holy Light Recovery, his Health Points directly exceeded 2450 points. Coupled with the equipment and other Buffs, his Health Points Recovery speed now reached 2850 points!
His Magic Power Recovery had also increased to 400 points!
Apart from that, he also unlocked the Level 10 Priest skill.
Two skills that leaned towards defense support, but to Lin Bei, they were two mandatory skills to be learnt!
Using 2 potential points, Lin Bei learned Purification Spell and Holy Light Shield.
Under the effect of all Holy Light skills +4 in the “Holy Light Contract”, both skills were upgraded to Level 5.
——-
Purification Spell (Lv.5)
After using it, all the negative states of the target would be clear, and a continuous purification effect would be applied for 10 seconds, immunizing against all negative states.
Spellcasting Range: 30 meters
Cooldown: 12 seconds (1.2 seconds)
Magic Power Consumption: 200 points
——-
Holy Light Shield (Lv.5)
After using it, a shield that can withstand 1600% magic damage will be cast on the target for 10 seconds.
Spellcasting Range: 30 meters
Cooldown: 40 seconds (4 seconds)
Magic Power Consumption: 250 points
——-
At this moment, Lin Bei still had 4 potential points left.
Lin Bei thought about it and added a healing skill.
He still wanted to go to the team competition in the Dueling Arena to get high-level Buffs. As a Priest, how could he not have healing skills?
Moreover, with the enhancement of the Holy Light Contract, he only needed 1 Potential Point to max out. It was still acceptable.
[Healing Skill (Lv.5): Instant Recovery of 200% Magic Damage from target (4,500 Health Points). Spellcasting Range: 30 meters. Cooldown: 5 seconds (0.5 seconds). Magic Power Consumption: 50 points]
Coupled with the Holy Light Buff, a Level 5 Healing Skill could recover 11,025 Health Points in one go! Moreover, Lin Bei could use it once every 0.5 seconds, so he definitely had enough healing power!
Coupled with the Holy Light Shield, his survivability had increased greatly.
“It’s about time. Let’s see what good things can be obtained from the Level 10 Gift Bag!”
Lin Bei looked at the gift bag with anticipation.
Previously, when he broke through to Level 10, the System rewarded him with 5 basic attribute points and 1 fixed attribute point. Now, his charm and luck had already reached 4 points.
Other than that, he also obtained 2 Potential Points, 100 Gold Coins, and a Level 10 Gift Bag.
[Activation successful!]
[You have obtained a Spell Wave!]
[You have obtained 5 Potential Points!]
[You have obtained 100 gold coins!]
“It’s actually a Spell Wave!”
Lin Bei’s eyes lit up and he was excited.
To him currently, this skill was equivalent to a divine skill!
——-
Spell Wave (Universal Skill)
Level: 1
After release, it can turn a single target skill into an AoE skill. Duration: 10 seconds (+2.5/lv). Coverage: A circular area with a radius of 10 meters (+2.5/lv).
Spellcasting Range: Same as using the skill
Cooldown: 300 seconds (-25/lv)
Magic Power Consumption: 200 points (+50/lv)
——-
It could transform single-target skills into Universal Skills for group attacks!
Coupled with Lin Bei’s Discipline Spell, his damage output would increase explosively!
“I learned it!”
Lin Bei directly learned Spell Wave, but it was only Level 1. For him currently, the skill range within a 10-meter radius was enough.
He did not have many potential points now, so it was better to save some.
He still had 7 potential points left and was prepared to keep them for emergencies.
[You have used a Spell Wave! Duration: 8.]
“Done!”
Lin Bei smiled and opened the System list. He clicked into the Duel Space.
The Duel Space was a special space that was independent of other servers in the game. All players in the regional server could enter it after reaching Level 10 and participate in PK competitions to obtain points and increase their ranking.
According to the points, there were seven ranks: Iron, Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, Diamond, Master, and Grandmaster.
Below 1,000 points was Iron, 1,000 to 1,499 points was Bronze, 1,500 to 1999 was Silver, 2,000 to 2,499 was Gold, 2,500 to 2,999 were Platinum, 3,000 to 3,499 was Diamond, 3,500 to 3,999 was Master, and above 4,000 points was Grandmaster. Among the total number of Grandmasters, the top 500 contestants would obtain the title of Top-500.
On the 28th of every month, there would be a settlement. Players of different ranks would receive a treasure chest reward.
[You have entered the Duel Space!]
Lin Bei, who was originally in the depths of Gloomy Jungle, disappeared under a white light. In the next second, he appeared in a tavern.
[007 Iron Tavern]
There were many taverns in the Duel Space. The Iron Tavern that Lin Bei was currently in was where the Iron players gathered after entering the Duel Space. Of course, there were occasionally a few Bronze and Silver players, but they were very rare.
In the Duel Space, high-level players could enter low-level taverns, but low-level players could not enter high-level taverns.
“Look, there’s a newbie! Level 10! And he’s a Priest! Watch carefully, I’ll go up and greet him!”
Above Lin Bei’s head, although he chose to remain anonymous before entering, the “Lv.10” above his head was bright, so there was no way to hide it, including the profession “Priest”. These could not be hidden in the tavern unless there was a special tool to hide information.
“Player [Frost Instant Kill (Lv.31)] has challenged you! Do you accept it?”
Suddenly, he heard a challenge notification.
Lin Bei glanced at the other party’s rank information and shook his head helplessly. It was too eye-catching.
——-
Frost Instant Kill (Lv.31)
Profession: Ice Mage
Rank: Iron 488 points
Battle record: 25 wins, 175 losses (12.5% winning percentage)
——-
12.5% winning percentage was too pitiful.
Moreover, it was the winning percentage of the Iron-rank. To be honest, such a skill would be a classic “handicapped” player in the previous keyboard and mouse games.
Lin Bei directly rejected the other party’s challenge.
Firstly, he really did not want to torture noobs. Secondly, he did not have the time.
He had to complete the ranking competition as soon as possible because he could only unlock the team competition options after completing the ranking. He had not forgotten why he had come to the Duel Space, so there was no need to waste unnecessary time.
“Haha, did you see that? This kid is afraid!”
“Isn’t that obvious? He’s only Level 10 and a Priest. Aren’t you clearly bullying him?”
“I don’t care! He’s just afraid! This is called winning without fighting! The realm is very high!”
“You piece of trash! How dare you say that!”
“Damn it, you don’t look like an Iron! Do you want to fight?”
“Oh? Come on! But I forgot to tell you that I’m a Silver-rank. I’ll torture you like a dog!”
“Ah? Ahem, big shot, I was blind to not recognize you. Let’s forget about the PK.”
“Tsk…”
Just as everyone was arguing, Lin Bei started the ranking competition. His figure turned into a white light and disappeared from the tavern.
“Hey, what rank do you think that kid has?”
Someone asked curiously.
Frost Instant Kill sneered. “A Level 10 Priest hasn’t even grown his hair yet. What do you think? In my opinion, 200 points is the maximum!”
“That makes sense. Level 10 Priests have not even learned all their skills. Their only attacks are Discipline Spell and Holy Light Burst. Moreover, their skills have a long cooldown period. I’m afraid they’ll be in serious trouble.”
One of them nodded and said, “It can’t be helped. After all, they’re Priests. The team competition is their home ground. The individual competition… Ahem, I can only say those who know would understand.”
***
[Ranking competition begins!]
[Next, you will have ten individual competitions! The System will finalize your ranking according to your performance!]
[The first match will begin in 30 seconds! Player: “Frost Instant Kill (Lv. 31, Ice Mage, Iron 488 points)”!]
In the 007 Iron Tavern, Frost Instant Kill, who was bragging, suddenly heard a System notification. His eyes lit up.
[You have received an invitation to the ranking competition assigned by the System! You will receive double the points reward after winning!]
[Battle Player Inner Peace (Lv.10, Priest, Unranked)”. Do you accept the invitation?]
“Damn, could this be the earlier newbie Priest? Haha, I’ll make a killing! Moreover, it’s double the points. It’s completely for free!”
Frost Instant Kill’s eyes lit up as he accepted the invitation directly.
If he did not accept the invitation, would he still be human?
Moreover, he was very dissatisfied with the fact that the Priest had rejected his challenge. This was good. He would teach that kid a lesson!
While waiting to enter the arena, he did not forget to show off to his teammates.
“Wow, aren’t you too lucky? I’m so envious!”
“The free points are too awesome!”
“Don’t be happy too early. If you make this maneuver, what if you can’t beat him?”
Frost Instant Kill instantly glared at the player and pouted. “He’s just a Level 10 Priest. I can kill him with a Frostburst! If you don’t believe me, let’s make a bet. If I lose, I’ll give you 100 gold coins!”
“And if you win?”
“I will definitely win. I won’t take advantage of you. You can just give me 10 silver coins!”
10 silver coins were only 10 dollars in Ocean Blue Coins. He did not dare to ask for too much for fear that the other party would not accept it.
“Alright, I’ll bet with you! It’s only 10 dollars. If he wins, I’ll be rich!”
“Hehe, we’ll see!”
Frost Instant Kill instantly grinned and disappeared from the tavern under a white light.
