How Level Zero Devil Destroys Player Experience

It just so happens that I don’t want to just stand there and stare at these guys, so since the other party said so, I’m happy to make an excuse to leave.

"Okay, uncle."

Everyone in the remaining team couldn't help laughing, and Black King Caesar coughed again before he recovered.

"Uncle, am I that old?" Black King Caesar touched his chin, looked at the petite figure disappearing in the forest, shook his head, and continued to lead people to explore to the other side.

There was no point for him to bother with a little girl.

Just because he doesn't pay attention to it doesn't mean others won't. After seeing the opened bronze treasure chest, a secret magician in the team's eyes flickered. He quietly approached a shooter named Baimu Sensen in the front of the team and whispered for a while.

"you sure?"

"My friend mentioned to me before that he saw her open two treasure chests in a row. Now it seems that it was not luck. The little girl should know the location of some treasure chests." Anfa explained.

Hearing this, Baimu Sensen pondered for a moment and said, "Well, take the brothers from the nearby guilds to take a look. If she really knows the location, try to get some information out of her. You can pay a price if necessary, but if it really doesn't work, don't make enemies."

Anfa nodded, sent a secret message to two friends nearby, and followed the direction where the petite figure left.

……

Norman Hills, leveling point for level 4 slime monsters.

These slime monsters have very high physical defense and magic resistance. Physical professions of the same level cannot break their defense at all. Only some mages with better equipment can cause effective damage to them.

But those mages with good equipment and decent skills had already been recruited by some guilds long ago, and followed special teams to better leveling spots for leveling, so it was rare to see people leveling in this large area.

Some are just players who cannot get a spot at other leveling points and team up with friends to level up, or some solitary magic professions.

Lost Sunny Day is among them.

As the short spell was chanted, the red fire marked the body of a slime monster not far away, causing it to continue burning.

The damage instantly attracted the hatred of the slime monster, which turned into a pool of brown mud and pounced towards Lost Sunny Sky.

It is its inherent mud killing skill that not only causes considerable damage to the player after hitting it, but also wraps the player in it, making it temporarily lose its attack ability. At the same time, if other players attack the slime monster, it will also cause a certain proportion of damage to the wrapped player.

This is also the reason why most players don't like to level up here. The high defense and difficulty are secondary. No one likes to be wrapped in a disgusting ball of mud and suffocated.

But those are only for ordinary players.

Lost Sunny, who had already figured out the various habits of the slime monsters, took a few steps back to keep within the distance of the mud monsters. While dodging the attack, he used an ignition move to detonate the fire, causing huge damage.

The slime monster swayed and was about to fight back, but was pushed back more than ten yards by a halo of fire, and then was killed by a fireball.

His operation was as smooth as flowing clouds and water, not much different from that of the top mages in the big guilds.

As a fire mage who is used to working alone, technology and operation are of course the basis for Lost Sunny to come here to level up confidently, but the biggest basis is still the skills of fire and ignition that he has mastered himself.

Fire is one of the basic skills of fire mages. Its effect is to cause a small amount of continuous damage, plus the next fire damage is deepened. However, the degree of deepening is not high, only 10%, which makes it disliked by many fire mage players.

Even though some people discovered that Fire Seed could be used in conjunction with Ignite to cause huge damage, it is still considered the worst basic skill of Fire Mage because the triggering time is too difficult to master.

But Lost Sunny Sky is different. Maybe it’s due to her talent, but she is very sensitive to timing. Every time she lights a fire, she can guarantee a very high success rate. The damage she causes is much higher than Fireball, the signature skill of the Fire Mage in the early days.

Therefore, this set of skills naturally became her core skills for leveling up.

The reason why she chose to level up here was because she received a task to learn advanced fire and ignition skills, and the last task material could only be dropped by the slime monster.

"Not again." Picking up the copper coin dropped by the slime monster, Lost Sunny sighed, found a safe place to sit down and wait for her MP to recover. Her supplies had been used up and she could only use this primitive method to replenish them.

If she wasn't short of just one material for the mission, she wouldn't have gone to such lengths, even if she didn't have obsessive-compulsive disorder.

Since she had nothing to do, she opened the forum and switched to the page for the town of Soma in the Orwin Empire, intending to see if there were any interesting posts.

As a result, I noticed a guide post——

『Irresponsible Strategy Team』Olwen Empire Strategy - Soma Town (with hidden mission clues)

……

I'm cute, please give me a thumbs up ovo.jpg

Chapter 21: A Few Things About the Strategy Post

There aren't many strategy posts in the Epoch forum, but there aren't a few either. The only difference is that most of them are titled as strategy posts, and they just record some game common sense or common tasks that most people know.

There are even many players who maliciously fabricate fake guides to deceive others.

So whenever Lost Sunny saw these strategy posts, she would sneer at them, but now she had nothing to do anyway, and she admitted that she was indeed attracted by the so-called hidden mission clues.

Originally, she was just planning to browse it casually, but she accidentally caught a glimpse of a very familiar name: Baptism of Fire.

Isn't this the task I've received to advance my fire skills?

Shiluo Qingtian immediately put aside his casual attitude and read the text carefully. It was indeed the task he had received, and there was no difference in the details and task objectives.

It even has written on it a coordinate point in the Norman Hills, near which the drop rate of mission materials will increase.

Lost Sunny hesitated for a moment, switched back to the game, and came to the coordinate point mentioned in the strategy post.

The slime monsters wandering around naturally became experimental subjects.

Originally, she was just trying it out, thinking that if four or five monsters didn't drop anything in a row, she would conclude that this was a fake strategy post. However, she didn't expect that after she just defeated a slime monster, she would notice the quest materials falling from under it.

"Could it be true?" Shiluo Qingtian picked up the materials in a daze.

Although it could be explained by luck, she would never believe such a coincidence.

"The location of the treasure chest seemed to be mentioned before." Lost Sunny Day remembered the strategy that he had previously ignored.

At first she just thought it was a prank. After all, no one would share such a thing with others for no reason. But now it seems that the other party has already done so many thankless things, and one more thing is nothing.

“There just happened to be a location nearby.”

Even she herself did not expect that he would actually find a hidden treasure chest near the coordinates mentioned in the strategy post.

Although they were only of ordinary level, she was still quite excited. She immediately put down her original task and quickly searched for the nearby ones according to the coordinates on the guide post.

After finding three treasure chests in a row that had all been opened, Lost Sunny finally realized that he was not the only one who had found this guide and followed it. These treasure chests must have been taken by someone else first.

Lost Sunny Day did not suspect the poster. After all, if the other party really wanted to do this, why would they go to the trouble of leaving them some unopened treasure chests.

However, what she could never have guessed was that she had successfully fallen into a thinking trap designed by someone.

"Remember there is a hidden mission clue."

Lost Sunny quickly reopened the guide post and scrolled to the bottom, which showed that 50 credit points were required to view it.

Even the previous strategy was worth more than 50 credit points, and she could still afford this fee.

Without any hesitation, he chose to pay and after reading it, Lost Sunny Day immediately switched back to the game and returned to the town of Soma at the fastest speed.

"It's right here."

After walking through the busy streets and turning into remote alleys, Lost Sunny finally found the inconspicuous pharmacy mentioned in the strategy post. However, she had no resentment at all, because this completely met the characteristics of the hidden mission in her mind.

"Hello, respected senior pharmacist, Miss Hill."

As soon as she walked into the store, she saw a tall figure leisurely sipping black tea in front of the counter.

I thought that in such a remote shop, no one would know about this so-called mission, so Hill didn't expect someone to come so soon, but she soon returned to her normal look, or rather, the expression on her face never changed, "What's the matter?"

A rare day off is certainly nice, but she doesn't want to delay the Demon King's instructions, so of course she doesn't want to use a nice tone.

"I heard that Miss Hill is short of some materials for refining a new type of potion. I wonder if this is true."

For some reason, Lost Sunny felt that the native in front of him seemed unfriendly to him, so he spoke more cautiously, "If it's true, I might be able to help."

"I need a large number of bat claws and bat venom sacs. If you can help me find them, I will give you a certain reward."

System: Do you accept the mission [Senior Pharmacist Hill's commission]?

Successful.

I was very excited in my heart, but I didn't show it on the surface. "Don't worry, I won't let you down."

40 claws plus 20 poison sacs can get you 2 copper coins. You only need to purchase them for 1 copper coin for 50 claws or 25 poison sacs. There will definitely be many people competing to sell them to you, and then pass them on. It will be a huge profit.

Lost Sunny walked out of the pharmacy with great excitement, and immediately went to the Dark Bat leveling point outside the town, intending to purchase from the surrounding players there.

What she didn't notice was that Hill behind her was looking at her leaving back, holding his cheek with an ambiguous look in his eyes.

Poor child, he was sold and is still helping others count money.

The forest ruins, which are also the leveling point where the dark bats are located, are now extremely lively compared to the beginning when few people knew about them. Corresponding to the numerous monsters are a large number of players.

There were noises everywhere, some were about team recruitment, some were about equipment exchanges, and some were about guilds recruiting.

"A professional monster-killing team, we need a fire mage or a holy mage with high magic damage."

"White leather armor for gauntlets, some are available."

"Sunset Fortress is recruiting female players. Male players with equipment skills can be accepted at our discretion."

Currently, most of the players are still at level 3 to 4. In addition, the dark bats have weak defenses, so the forest ruins have naturally become one of the most popular leveling points for players near the town of Soma.

That's what I want.

Lost Sunny found a safe place nearby and stuck the sign he bought: Collect 1 set of bat claws/2 copper coins, 1 set of poison sacs/4 copper coins.

A large group of players gathered around immediately. They had all been here for five or six hours to farm dark bats, and they had collected countless sets of bat materials. They originally wanted to sell them all to the NPCs at once, but now they saw that Lost Sunny Sky was buying them for twice as much as the store, so they were naturally tempted.

"Girl asked me to trade, I have 1 set of bat claws and 1 set of poison sacs."

"Here are mine, 2 sets of bat claws."

"Okay, okay, take your time one by one."

Some players began to trade with Lost Sunny Sky, while other players who had already sold the materials to the store couldn't help but secretly regret it.

Soon, Lost Sunny's backpack was filled with no less than a hundred sets, or nearly ten thousand sets, of materials for bat claws and poison sacs.

Seeing that the copper coins were almost gone, Lost Sunny explained to the people around him, "Wait a minute, I've run out of money. Go get some first and I'll be back soon. I'll continue to collect money, don't worry."

You know, for this mission, she even made up her mind to sell all the materials and equipment she could, and only then could she collect about 5 silver coins.

However, at this time, someone also asked curiously, "Sister, why do you collect so many bat claws and poison sacs?"

"Well, I have a friend who became a pharmacist in a big guild, and now we're planning on having her level in pharmacy raised as soon as possible." Shiluo Qingtian brought out the speech he had prepared long ago.

The people around nodded in understanding. There was nothing wrong with this explanation. Besides, the price paid by Lost Sunny Sky was only slightly higher than the previous price and it was not outrageous enough to make them think of anything.

Chapter 22: Young People Have No Martial Ethics (I)

I am not aware of the incident caused by the strategy post.

Even if I knew, I would probably just forget about it, because I am now seriously looking for the location of the treasure chest that can reveal the Dark Word Mage's ultimate skills.

"Strange, I remember it should be around here." I walked around but didn't see any trace of the treasure chest. I couldn't help but stop and think carefully, "It seems to be leaning on something..."

Thinking of this, my eyes were cast on the big tree opposite. When I got closer, I saw a faint light emerging from inside. I quickly pushed aside the bushes next to me and found the treasure chest hidden in the tree hole.

The silver light represents the silver level. Generally speaking, treasure chests above the silver level are guarded by monsters. This is one of the few silver treasure chests that I remember that is not guarded by monsters, otherwise I would not have spent so much time on it.

The thieves' unique lock-picking skills allow them to open treasure chests above ordinary level, but at this stage they can only open bronze-level treasure chests. Silver-level treasure chests will be restricted by their insufficient lock-picking skills.

This naturally includes me, a "novice thief" who was created less than half a day ago.

In this case, to open a silver-level treasure chest, one can only rely on a silver-level treasure chest key, but this kind of thing drops very rarely, and there is no alchemist of a sufficient level to be able to refine it, so basically no one has it.

But this is not a problem for me.

Using the creation power of the Heart of Herontis, a silver key was easily created at the cost of 2 energy points.

However, just as I was about to use the key to open the treasure chest, my heart suddenly jumped and I subconsciously dodged to the side.

An arrow pierced the tree trunk in front of him.

System: The team that the player "Dark Nail" belongs to is the first to attack you. You can use legitimate defense against them.

"Oh, you react pretty quickly."

I heard a teasing voice behind me, and when I turned around, I saw three figures walking towards me through the bushes. There was a sword and shield warrior, a dark word mage, and an archer ranger. If there was a priest, it would be a standard low-end team.

Seeing the menacing appearance of the other party, I frowned slightly, "I don't think I have offended the Storm Guild?"

It was hard not to see the guild name above their heads. I never thought that I had already been remembered by this group of guys after only meeting them for less than half a minute.

"Yes, we didn't provoke them, so little sister, just give us the treasure chest behind you and we won't make it too difficult for you." Dark Word Mage Dark Nail shook his head.

They had been following this person to see if she knew the location of some treasure chests.

However, they didn't expect that she not only knew it, but also found a silver-level treasure chest. This made them ignore the instructions of Vice President Kashiwagi Sensen and plan to snatch the silver treasure chest openly.
