Legend: One corpse-picking message per day

Chapter 31 The Shocking Sweet Orange
Swish!
He Sheng has entered a difficult natural cave (Skull Cave)!

Upon entering,

Ang ang ang...

flapping, flapping...

squeak...

Before me lay a vast array of all sorts of monsters!

Skeletons, skeleton warriors, skeleton heroes, skeleton generals, cave bats, cave maggots, scorpions...

Everywhere you look, there are monsters!

roar roar...

Click click click...

These monsters surrounded He Sheng and gave him a beating!
Their movement speed, attack speed, and even attack power are far more terrifying than those of ordinary monsters!
They were actually able to move He Sheng!

It’s really scary!
Health reduced by 0!

Health reduced by 1!

Health reduced by 1!

……

Attack power has increased significantly!

You should know that back then, even the skeleton monsters on the normal map couldn't break through his defenses!

He's now a Silver VIP!
They can even sometimes take away one drop of blood from him, which shows that their attack power has indeed increased a lot!
Seeing the monsters' frenzied attack, He Sheng was completely relieved!

But at this point, he still warned Sweet Orange first:
"Don't come in yet... damn it!"

But before he could finish speaking, Sweet Orange had already come in!

"Grass!!!"

As soon as they entered, the sweet orange was attacked by a group of monsters!
My health is dropping like crazy!
He let out a strange cry and dashed away!

Ha ha……

Seeing this, He Sheng chuckled and began to grind monsters!
There were more than twenty monsters in front of them, but not a single human being in sight.

Clearly, there are significantly fewer players on the difficult maps compared to the normal maps.

Otherwise, such a large area at the entrance would surely be deserted.

Lost in thought, He Sheng launched his attack!
Boom!

He unleashed a lightning bolt at the maggots that were desperately spitting out his energy!
Health reduced by 65!

Remaining health: 65!

Tsk tsk, the cave maggots seem to have doubled their blood volume, no wonder their defense and attack power have greatly increased!

This zombie's magic resistance is significantly higher than that of a regular zombie.

Fortunately, I was lucky; it sprayed a few times but didn't paralyze me.

Boom!

He Sheng unleashed another lightning spell, sending it flying!

Experience points increased by 182!

Awesome!
The experience points here are indeed very high, and with his VIP experience bonus, it's even higher than killing a regular zombie.

After killing the paralyzing cave maggot, He Sheng then used a lightning spell on a skeleton.

Health reduced by 60!

Remaining health: 120!

That's an amazing amount of health!
He Sheng, boom boom boom, two more lightning spells crashed down!

Unfortunately, the third time I had bad luck and only dealt low damage.

He Sheng casually added a small fireball and sent it away!

Experience points increased by 280!

This experience points are awesome!
With a crisp clang, a medium-sized magic potion and a hundred gold coins exploded on the ground.

He Sheng continued attacking the other monsters...

Just then, Sweet Orange messaged me privately:
"Brother, where are you?"

"I'm still at the entrance."

"Holy crap! Don't tell me you're still standing there?" Sweet Orange asked in shock.

"Yeah, it's a shame not to take down all those monsters at the entrance."

"Damn, you're so lucky! You randomly ended up behind a group of monsters?" Sweet Orange said enviously.

"What the hell! Why should I use random numbers?"

"Damn! Don't tell me you didn't use random attacks and just tanked the hits the whole time?"

"Of course," He Sheng said without hiding anything.

He's going to level up with Sweet Orange; there's no way to hide that. Before, when he leveled up with Mu Shuiping and the others, all they knew was that he had high attack power.

But I never imagined that his defense would be so ridiculously abnormal.

Because he was protected by others, he was almost never attacked by monsters.

"Keep blowing! Keep blowing!"

Sweet Orange simply didn't believe that He Sheng's defense was higher than his.

He himself was hammered away by a barrage of attacks from numerous monsters, how could a mere mage withstand it?

He thinks he's a rich kid!

"If you don't believe me, you can come and see for yourself. By the way, are there many people here?" He Sheng didn't dwell on the topic anymore; he would find out soon enough.

"I flew around a bit just now. There weren't as many people on the map as on a regular map, so I could easily find a place to level up."

"Oh, that's good. I was really worried about not having anywhere to level up." He Sheng breathed a sigh of relief.

Come to think of it, the highest level allowed to enter the Skeleton Cave's difficult and hellish maps is level 20.

Ordinary people really can't handle it. Those who can come here to fight are either rich with good equipment or have a group of people carrying them.

For ordinary players, coming here to fight is practically suicide.

No wonder Sweet Orange didn't want to come when she heard about the difficult map.

"Where do we meet?" Sweet Orange asked at this point.

“I really am at the entrance.”

"Hehe, okay, I'll be right there."

Sweet Orange chuckled and began to fly randomly towards the entrance.

shhhhhh...

Luckily, he flew to a spot not far from the entrance.

There were no monsters spawning here, so he quickly ran over.

As he got closer, by the light of the candle, his eyes widened instantly.

stunned!

He Sheng was actually in a group of skeleton monsters, carrying them and killing them.

How can this be?

This is a difficult map!

Even if he, a level 20 warrior, were to fight, he could only take them down one by one, which would consume quite a few potions.

But He Sheng is only a level 17 mage!

At this moment, Sweet Orange's brain completely shut down!

He suddenly remembered what Mu Shuiping had told him:
"Brother, when you accompany He Sheng to level up, keep a close eye on him and see if there's anything unusual about him."

"What?" Sweet Orange asked warily.

"That's what the principal, the child protector, instructed, because he wants to know He Sheng's value, understand?"

"value?"

"Idiot! Didn't your brother offend the domineering princess and her gang? If he's constantly being chased, how will he develop?"

But if he demonstrates sufficient excellence and proves to be a promising talent, the principal might ask City Lord Zhou Xiangbo to put in a good word for him, understand?

Now Sweet Orange understands...

Talent is always a vital resource.

Players, compared to ordinary people, are extraordinary individuals who enjoy far more preferential treatment than ordinary people in society and at school.

Special talents among the players are resources that all the major guilds are vying to acquire.

But is He Sheng considered a talent now?
I guess so...

Should we talk to Mu Shuiping about it?
After hesitating for a moment, he found a monster to kill nearby and privately messaged He Sheng, explaining Mu Shuiping's intentions to him.

His meaning was simple: let the brother make his own decision...

"Let's not talk about it yet."

After considering it for a while, He Sheng made a decision.

He has many secrets and is different from ordinary people in many ways. If he can level up on his own without needing anyone to help him, he prefers to develop his skills quietly...

Let's wait and see. We'll talk about it if we're really being hunted down to the point where we can't survive anymore.

The two chatted as they quickly cleared out the surrounding monsters...

He Sheng was the one who fought most of the monsters; Tian Daju wasn't even qualified to tank them.

I can only pick up items...and occasionally slay a monster.

Fortunately, he was originally responsible for carrying the potions, and his backpack was full of blue potions.

This saves He Sheng the trouble of getting medicine; otherwise, making the round trip would take a lot of time...
