How Level Zero Devil Destroys Player Experience

"But this was something I found with great difficulty..." I bit my lip, looking a little aggrieved.

Faced with a cute little girl who was about to cry, the three of them suddenly felt a little embarrassed. After all, it would not sound good to tell others that they were snatching a child's things like this.

"Stop talking nonsense. If you don't want to leave, we will send you back to the city for free." In the end, the sword and shield warrior next to him hardened his heart and cast a vicious look.

"I'll remember this grudge. Just wait for me."

I stamped my feet and turned away.

Seeing the petite figure opposite them leaving without looking back, they couldn't help but look at each other, wondering if this was changing too quickly.

However, this result was also something they were happy to see. The ranger put away his weapon and walked towards the treasure chest excitedly. "What good luck! I picked up a silver treasure chest for nothing."

However, when he saw the silver treasure chest in the tree hole, he was shocked to find that it had been opened. Not only that, a dark purple circle was faintly visible in the empty treasure chest.

The ranger has seen this before. This is the mark of the Shadow Word Mage's damage skill Shadow Word Mark, which can be delayed or detonated manually.

At this time, the circle was already glowing.

-42

A dark purple light exploded, knocking back the figure and instantly taking away one third of the opponent's health.

"what happened?"

The Sword and Shield Warrior and Dark Nail next to them couldn't help but be shocked, but the most surprised was the Ranger. You know, although his equipment was not the best, it was also quite good. One skill could knock off one third of his health. How high was the opponent's magic damage?

And the most important thing is, who set this trap?

The ranger subconsciously thought of the petite figure before. As if to confirm his idea, a pleasant voice suddenly sounded from not far away.

"I've already mentioned this grudge, and I prefer to take revenge in person rather than later." I walked out of the forest, and it can be said that I had never left.

They originally thought that the initial attack had interrupted my progress in opening the treasure chest. However, what these guys didn't know was that using a key to open the treasure chest does not require any opening time.

So I had quietly taken out all the things in the treasure chest long before.

The reason why he had spent so much time talking to them, even resorting to cute tricks to lure the enemy, was simply to delay time so that he could switch to the template of the Dark Word Mage.

The profession that you are most familiar with.

Then he took the opportunity to set up the secret code seal. Unfortunately, this trap only attacked one person.

Dark Nail noticed the object in the other's hand, "What are you holding?"

"Well, do you know why six comes after one, two, three, and four?" I didn't answer directly, but asked instead.

The three of them were immediately stunned by the question and subconsciously replied, "Why?"

"Because you young people don't have any sense of propriety." I tossed the scroll in my hand, smiled slightly, and tore it open. "Then don't blame me for showing no mercy."

A scorching breath suddenly condensed from the sky. The ranger felt a strong sense of crisis and subconsciously looked up. He saw a flaming meteor coming towards him.

-776

Horrible damage emerged from above his head, killing him instantly.

Scorching Meteor, the scroll opened from the silver treasure chest, if it didn't have this little damage, it wouldn't be worthy of being called the strongest output skill of the Fire Mage at level 20.

Although it's a pity to use it on a small minion, it's none of my fault for making these blind guys annoy me.

"You little brat!" Seeing his friend being killed instantly, the sword and shield warrior's eyes suddenly turned red, and he charged forward with his weapon in hand.

Chapter 23: Young People Have No Martial Ethics (Part 2)

Warriors' charge skills allow them to overcome distance limitations and instantly rush to the enemy to cause damage.

The sword and shield warrior had already thought about how to teach this hateful kid a profound lesson after getting close to him, but his plan failed before he even started.

"what happened?"

The sword and shield warrior was shocked to find that his charge skill was interrupted, and he only reacted when he saw the symbol above his head.

Shadowword Mage's Silence Sphere.

“What kind of consciousness is this?”

The sword and shield warrior was horrified.

Interrupting the charge is nothing, many Shadow Word Mages have this ability, but if you do it too early, at most it will prevent him from releasing skills, while if you do it a little later, you can at least close the distance.

However, the opponent happened to block him at the moment when he started to charge, making this skill completely useless. Can a child really have such awareness and reaction?

Being able to become an elite member of the Storm Guild, the Sword and Shield Warrior is no pushover. He reacted and rushed forward again without relying on the charge skill.

However, how could I give him this opportunity? I used Painful Torment directly, causing continuous damage while greatly reducing his speed.

Leaving behind the warrior who couldn't affect me for the time being, I headed straight for the dark spike on the other side.

When the Sword and Shield Warrior launched the charge, Black Nail was actually planning to chant the Silence Orb spell in coordination with the other party. However, after seeing the familiar skill, he could not help but freeze in place, and only came back to his senses at this moment, "How is it possible, you are the Dark Word Mage!?"

He was sure that he was not mistaken. Lock picking and stealth were obviously skills that only thieves could learn.

Because I am used to hiding the character name display, he had no idea that the little guy in front of him had changed his name and occupation.

"How is that impossible? And I will teach you what a real Dark Word Mage is." After chanting the short spell, I raised my hand and cast a Dark Word spell at the opponent.

Faced with the crisis, Dark Nail didn't care about anything else and hurriedly tried to hide to the side. However, he was a step too slow and was hit hard.

-45

Black Nail was shocked when one third of his health was instantly knocked down. It was just a basic skill that had such high damage. It was hard to imagine how high the opponent's magic damage was.

After using up a bottle of low-level blood recovery bottle, Dark Nail began to chant the spell of Silence Orb. However, before he finished chanting, the damage and silence symbols appeared above his head, indicating that the skill was interrupted.

-38

-42

The blood volume that had not yet recovered suddenly dropped a lot again, leaving only a little blood. Black Nail was so scared that he hurriedly used a bottle of life-saving instant recovery potion to barely bring his blood volume back to the safety line.

The Dark Nail was no longer confident and quickly moved towards the Sword and Shield Warrior, seeking his protection. The Sword and Shield Warrior had also broken free from the painful torture and wanted to come over to help.

However, I had seen through their thoughts long ago. After throwing another Dark Binding at the warrior, I controlled the Dark Word Seal buried behind the Dark Nail and activated it, and half of the blood volume disappeared.

Then Dark Word raised his hand and instantly ended his remaining health, causing him to fall down with an unwilling look.

The elite mage of his own guild was killed just like that.

The sword and shield warrior, who had finally escaped from the painful torture and the slow skill that came from nowhere, felt a little frightened when he saw this, but even so, he still launched an attack after the cooldown of the charge skill ended.

You can't escape this time, right?

The sword and shield warrior had already calculated that the opponent's silence orb would not cool down that quickly, and smiled coldly.

"No matter how high your magic damage is, you'll still die if someone gets close to you."

When he was about to collide with the opponent, the sword and shield warrior raised the shield in his hand high. This was a skill he had figured out. Using shield strike during the charge could simultaneously deal the damage of the charge and the stun effect of the shield strike, leaving others with little time to react.

However, at this moment, the Sword and Shield Warrior suddenly saw the sweet smile on that cute face, and his breathing stopped.

-46

I don’t know if it was because my mind was overwhelmed or what, but I was unable to make any move for a moment.

wrong.

The sword and shield warrior suddenly realized that the dizziness mark that appeared on his body at some point was the main cause of all this, and the previous damage also appeared on his head.

How is that possible? Dark Word Mage doesn't have this kind of skill.

Looking at the purple halo that appeared under his feet, the sword and shield warrior used all his strength and managed to break away at the last moment, then rushed forward again waving the sword in his hand.

No matter what, they can't even get close to each other.

However, a spreading halo made the sword and shield warrior completely despair. The distance pushed away by the resistance halo just made him get stuck at the position where the secret word mark was originally set.

With a loud bang, a battle in which the majority bullied the minority but was counterattacked came to an end.

"Soul Counter is quite useful." I glanced at the skill that was on cooldown and recovered after a short while, and smiled slightly.

Dark Binding and Soul Counter are both skills obtained from treasure chests. The former is similar to Torment, but it can reduce the opponent's output while reducing the movement speed.

The latter can block a skill or attack within a certain period of time, while causing equal damage and effect to the source of the skill, and also comes with a bonus to its own spell attack. In addition, its cooling time is completely linked to the skill being blocked. If used well, it can be the Darkword Mage's life-saving trump card.

It is no wonder that this kind of effect is called the ultimate skill.

"Hey, did you drop your equipment?"

I casually picked up two pieces of equipment that fell on the ground, a leather armor and a gauntlet. After taking a look at the attributes, I found that the gauntlet was from the Dusk Tour series.

A suit is not like individual parts. Once one piece is missing, the lost suit effect is enough to reduce its strength.

I guess that Dark Word Mage is crying his eyes out.

I couldn't help but chuckle. This is what they call "stealing a chicken but losing the rice".

This incident was just an episode at most. Since most of the treasure chests had been opened and I had also taken two skill books of the Dark Word Mage, I counted the gains and walked towards the direction of the forest ruins.

Chapter 24: Rose Heart

"Ahh, it's really lively~"

Looking at the players in the forest ruins fighting against the dark bats in groups, I couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

After all, this was the first time that he saw with his own eyes the leveling points that he had created, and it was a completely different feeling from the simple data feedback in the Heart of Herontis.

Think about it, there weren’t many people visiting in the beginning, but now it has developed into such a hot scene.

The reason can be more or less guessed. It is simply that compared with the surrounding leveling points, the efficiency of killing monsters is much higher. Coupled with the number of monsters and the refresh speed, it is not an exaggeration to call it a treasure land for leveling.

Or maybe you can increase the difficulty appropriately, or improve the overall level to stimulate demand?

It's not impossible to think about it, but now is not the time to think about it. I put this plan aside for the time being and put up a sign at a place that looked like a small market on one side of the forest ruins.

"Buy a large number of dark bat souls regardless of quality, 1 piece/1 copper coin."

Perhaps it was because it was rare to see monster souls being purchased here, and in large quantities at that. Plus, its cute appearance immediately attracted a group of idle players.

The reason for adding such a modifier is purely because they really have nothing to do.

"Little sister, would you like to take a photo with me? I will treat you to some candy."

"What a cute little girl, can you give me a hug, just for a moment~"

"Ah, cat ears are so cute. I really want to take them home and raise them."

Looking at such a group of enthusiastic lolita lovers, I couldn't help but feel a little overwhelmed, so I cautiously said, "Big brothers and sisters, I'm just here to collect monster souls, please don't bully me."

I don’t know if it was because of my cuteness that it worked, or if someone finally noticed the price I paid for it and started initiating transactions.

"Will you accept souls of white quality?"

"Yes, whatever the quality."

"Can I pay more for this excellent quality product?"

"No, it's all the same price, no matter what the quality is."

In just a blink of an eye, I have received nearly two hundred dark bat souls, although most of them are of white quality.

Souls of these qualities are looked down upon by other players due to their poor attributes, and they are not worth much even if sold to NPC shops. Now that I happen to be offering them for a high price, it is naturally better to get rid of them quickly.

Some people curiously asked me the reason why I purchased so many monster souls, but I evaded the question by saying that I didn't even know the mission my sister had assigned to me.

I'm not worried that these guys will follow me out of suspicion or anything like that. After all, only I know the true purpose of this thing.

"Just a little bit more." After counting the harvest, he found that he had already completed more than half of the goal he set.

I originally planned to advance one chief and one leader at a time, but now it seems that it is not a bad idea to prepare some more materials.

I have already acquired the monster souls of most of the players around me, and the crowd of onlookers gradually dispersed. I am also happy to have some free time. I plan to observe the habits of those players when fighting against the dark bats, so as to add corresponding details to the design.

Just when I was thinking about the "Player Persecution Plan vol1.01", a pleasant female voice sounded from behind me.

"Little guy, are you collecting the monster souls of the Dark Bat?"

Subconsciously, I turned my head and saw a tall figure. The figure had a delicate face under long silver hair. Without any extra decoration, she looked elegant and moving. Her blue eyes showed confidence and pride.

This is the first time I have seen someone who can combine handsomeness and beauty so perfectly.

But I also recognized the other person's identity.

To have such outstanding appearance and temperament must be extraordinary, and in fact it is true. In the previous life, Dolan, a member of the management of Rose Heart, one of the top ten guilds in the Orwen Empire, was known as the Silver-haired Warrior.
