Capítulo 9: Chapter 9 Silver Elite
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Silver Elites, commonly abbreviated as Elites, are a weakened version of boss enemies. They can be easier to deal with than bosses, but whether animal Elites or humanoid Elites, they always drop special items upon death.
These special items are usually unique and rare, especially since the bosses in "The Ancient God World" are incredibly difficult to defeat. As the number of players increases, so do the properties of the boss, making wild bosses seem very far-fetched for normal players.
In the previous life, due to the increase in levels, many precious chests would be locked. This made the Elites a favorite among players, and killing an Elite usually yielded a small fortune. Countless murders have occurred due to the contention over the Elites.
Just as Li Yao was about to step in and help, he noticed another Necromancer in a black cloak on the other side.
The escaping Goblin was much shorter than regular Goblins. Seeing two players, whether from shock or excitement, he didn't watch his step and tripped over.
Then Li Yao saw the little Goblin tumble away like a ball, and he covered his face in disbelief. Despite Goblins already being small, this one was exceptionally small.
Regular players might not notice, but someone like Li Yao, with ten years of gaming experience, instantly understood that this must be a child.
This made Li Yao even more confused because both elderly and young players are required to choose a neutral camp in the game, which should place them on a different continent.
They usually choose races like Demons, Angels, Barbarians, Amazons, and so forth. The elderly even have their own Beginner's Village, which provides many other styles of play.
Away from combat, activities like chess, pet raising, and gardening are available. After entering the game, elderly people's bodies and spirits are fortified, so even those who cannot walk in reality can move freely in the game. There are surprisingly many elderly people playing battle roles.
Children are the same. They are in the same Beginner's Village as the elderly, but there are different game mechanisms, like the blood screen shield, monster cartoonization, etc.
But now, there was a child popping up right in front of him.
Although Li Yao had many conjectures in his mind, he only made them in a split second. The distance between the child and the two players was too far. He thought that this child was surely a goner, but then a child tumbling did not wail in pain; instead, he quickly stood up and planted a dull yellow Totem column on the ground.
As soon as they entered the effective range of the Totem, the movements of the Silver Elite and the two other Elite beasts slowed down considerably.
Earthbind Totem!
Li Yao was once again surprised. To his knowledge, ordinary Shaman Priests upon reaching level 10 would receive their first Totem after completing a class task, and the first Totem they received was the Healing Totem.
A thunk...
Under Li Yao's surprised stare, the little Goblin once again planted a fiery red Totem.
Fire Snake Totem!
The Fire Snake Totem started spitting fireballs and attacked the slow-moving Silver Elite.
"Help me quickly, items drop will be distributed according to need. If everyone needs them, we can roll for them. Agree then join the team." The little Goblin child shouted while sending out a team invitation. His voice was sweet and crisp, which made Li Yao even more certain about his guess.
"Such a smart little girl, showing her own strength and value first, and then forming a team."
Li Yao then accepted the team request.
"System: You joined the team led by Dazed and Cute Eyes. The team is in team loot mode."
"System: Enchantress joined Dazed and Cute Eyes's team."
With the system notification, the two new members of the team took action.
Li Yao swiftly deployed three Arrow Towers side by side, and immediately threw a Spike Trap in his hand.
With a loud boom, the three monsters started to bleed. As the Arrow Towers began firing, Li Yao quickly drew his bow and started attacking the Poison Arrow Frog Elite at the Silver Elite's left.
Enchantress wasn't idle either. She threw a bone shining with Bronze light from her hand.
With the explosion of the bone, a Skeleton Warrior holding a Bronze Great Sword started attacking the Poison Arrow Frog Elite Li Yao was targeting.
She then began to chant a spell, and a glowing white Bone Spear floated above her head.
Dazed and Cute Eyes' eyes burned with excitement, "Her hands began to crackle with electric arcs."
A pound...
The Bone Spear exploded on the Poison Arrow Frog Elite's body, then followed by a crackling lightning. This was a group attack spell by Shaman Priests, the Lightning Chain.
Just after the first round of collective attacks, the tragic Poison Arrow Frog Elite was already brought down by countless assaults.
"How did a baby like you become a Goblin?" Li Yao suddenly asked.
Dazed and Cute Eyes glared at Li Yao, discontentedly saying, "You're too naive if you're trying to trick me."
"I was only guessing before, but now I'm sure you can't be older than ten."
"Hmph, sneaky guy, I'm warning you, this is a secret. You better not blabber about it." Dumbfounded pupil waved her tiny fist, charged with electric arcs, at Li Yao.
"So it's a child." Seeing pupil looking at her, the variable witch said with a laugh, "But nevermind, I am not interested in other people's affairs."
"Big sister really knows the rule, unlike somebody who is much more meddlesome. It's truly rude to peep into someone else's secrets."
Li Yao laughed without a word, not teasing the little girl any further. However, a name finally came into his mind, the Shaman God, Gu Dantong.
This player was unknown in the past, but in the divine enthronement war after the game operated for ten years, she surpassed shamans of major clubs and successfully enthroned with overwhelming strength.
Later, it was said that this Shaman God was not originally named this but changed the name after she grew up. She was a shaman in a small team and it was said that she had not entered the neutral camp when she was young, but had joined the dark camp directly.
Tongtong and Gu Dantong have a homonym 'tong', and both are goblins, and shamans. Moreover, the opponent can use so many totems at less than level ten.
The more Li Yao thought about it, the more likely it seemed that they were the same person, but at the time, Li Yao failed to enthrone and was in a state of confusion and did not pay detailed attention and was not completely sure.
The remaining two minions of the silver hero finally fell under the trio's abnormal firepower. A few minutes later, the silver hero also collapsed under their feet.
Due to Tongtong's healing totem, the three were basically full of blood after the fight ended.
"I'll go loot the body, everyone is okay with it, right?" Dumbfounded pupil Tongtong asked in the team.
Seeing the two nodding, dumbfounded pupil Tongtong excitedly ran over and then two items appeared on their team's panel.
Linen cloth bag: 10 space bag
Blueprint for Linen Bag: Linen cloth roll*3, ordinary fuel*1
Li Yao shook his head first and said, "I'm not a tailor and I don't want to learn tailoring."
Dumbfounded pupil also said, "Me neither."
"Then, I will take them first, thanks." The variable witch put her screenshot of her tailoring 325/1000 into the team chat.
Li Yao and Dumbfounded pupil gave up rolling for the item. Thus, the blueprint went into the bag of the variable witch. Their evaluation of the variable witch was again improved. At this stage, it was extremely rare to learn a side job, and her skeleton was obviously stronger than the general necromancer's, which means she is not an ordinary player.
"I can make a bag at 350. I can make a few for you for free when the time comes." Although her appearance wasn't visible, her happy voice was clear.
Li Yao, of course, knew that she had no reason not to be happy. At the beginning, the character only has a dozen slots in their bag, and they can hang four small bags on the belt. Getting this blueprint will certainly earn her a fortune.
"Thank you, big sister." Dumbfounded pupil saw the remaining bag and said, "Big brother, let's roll for this bag."
Li Yao shook his head and said, "Forget it, you can take it. The witch is going to give us a bag in a couple of days anyway."
Anyway, the bag is temporarily enough, and new bags will be coming soon. There's no point in arguing with a little kid over a small bag.
"Thank you so much big brother, I was running out of bags, the annoying totems take up too much space." Dumbfounded pupil muttered.
Li Yao laughed and pulled out a carving knife to collect the silver hero.
"What are you doing?" The variable witch was puzzled, "You can also gather?"
This dumbfounded pupil also saw Li Yao collecting and explained, "Big sister, don't you know, buying an excellent carving knife can decompose the body of an animal monster three times."
"So that's how it works. No wonder players complain that the production of animal monsters is low. It's unjust, players complained to the officials, and the official explanation was to explore by oneself. I didn't know it could work like this." The variable witch looked at the pupil and could tell she didn't even know the basic rules, and her face suddenly became red.
"Cough, how did you come to think of it?" Luckily, her cloak covered her face so others could not see her embarrassment.
"It's pretty simple. On the first day, I fought normal beasts and found that the profits were very low, several times lower than those of humanoid monsters. And this game is open, so I thought about the reason. Then I strolled around in a city store and saw a carving knife, so I tried buying two and found out." Dumbfounded 'Tongtong' took it for granted, "You guys didn't even know it. My big brother and I are smart."
Variable witch raised her head, speechless, so did Li Yao, because if he hadn't been reborn, he would have known it only after seeing the strategy online.
"Cough, let's take turns collecting the monsters we kill." Li Yao proposed, and then asked, "What kind of tasks did you come here to do? If It's a convenient way, let's go together."
"Great, I am here to skin some poison dart frogs to practice tailoring." The variable witch was also hoping to keep the small party together. The previous battle showed her the strong combat power of the two and she felt a bit weak. Fighting ordinary monsters is easy, but if she wants to fight the elite bronze skeletons alone, it takes a long time to recover if she hang up, and with the healing totem, you don't have to worry about this issue. Also, don't have to worry about the damage of poison fog.
Of course, the most important thing was to see the integrity of the two. From the previous conversation, she knew that both were smart people and it would be impossible for them not to know the value of the blueprint. This point has already explained a lot.
"That annoying goblin old man sent me here to collect monster souls, saying that he will help me reconcile some totems."
Li Yao also said, "I need highly toxic glands. Our goals don't conflict. Let's use the previous distribution model, okay?"
Seeing the two nod, Li Yao thought for a while and said, "With Tongtong's several totems, my arrow tower and spike trap, and our three strong outputs, why don't we find a good terrain and have a mass brushing?"
Pupils' eyes suddenly lit up and nodded, "Okay, okay, I've just been abused by monsters since I entered this game."...
Capítulo 10: Chapter 10 Group Brushing
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The Versatile Witch emphasised her role, saying, "I also have an aging curse, which can weaken monsters."
Aging Curse: Sacrifice ten percent of the caster's HP, weaken monsters in range. Their movement speed, damage, and armor are reduced by 15%
Their eyes brightened, and Ditzy Dumbo said, "Big sis, you don't have to worry about your HP. Besides the Healing Totem, I can also cast healing spells."
"In that case, our chances are even greater." With this, they slaughtered monsters while searching for advantageous terrain.
However, after searching for half an hour, they found nothing satisfactory. Li Yao frowned slightly and said, "I know of a mountain cave. The only problem is that going into the cave leaves us with no way out. Are you willing to give it a try?"
"Sure, we could try luring only a few monsters to start with." Ditzy Dumbo was eager to get started.
The three arrived at the cave. Looking at it, it seemed quite deep, at least sixty or seventy yards.
"This will do perfectly!" Ditzy Dumbo placed two totems at the entrance of the cave and a Healing Totem deep inside.
"This is an Explosive Totem; it creates a Flame Explosion for area damage. Combined with my Lightning Chain, our area damage will be very strong. Place your Arrow Towers after the Grounding Totem and Big Sister's aging curse slow down those stupid frogs!" Dumbo started directing Li Yao.
Li Yao didn't mind. He placed the three Arrow Towers and also set two Spike Traps at the entrance, while the Versatile Witch summoned her Bronze Skull.
"Wait here; I'll lure the monsters."
Li Yao ran out of the cave and started luring monsters. For their first attempt, he lured five elite monsters and several smaller Poisonous Frogs, which was just enough for area sweeps.
Seeing the nine monsters following Li Yao, the Versatile Witch was shocked. When she had been leveling up the past few days, she mainly killed ordinary monsters. Anyone else would probably think that any player leading so many monsters was simply courting death.
Li Yao jumped over the totems and Arrow Towers while the Poisonous Frogs swiftly fell into the range of the totems and Arrow Towers.
Aging Curse!
A circle of light fell upon the masses of monsters, drastically slowing their movements.
Pop!
The Explosive Totem emitted flame shockwaves, and the Spike Traps also exploded.
Zap!
Ditzy Dumbo's Lightning Chain was fired into the mass of monsters.
Numerous damage values floated above the heads of the Poisonous Frogs.
The barrage of fire damage, bleeding damage, Arrow Tower damage, Lightning Chain damage, and Bone Spear damage filled the visible damage numbers area. Thanks to the Grounding Totem, the monsters seemed to have entered swampy terrain.
Li Yao also intensified his output; he didn't dare to be careless. If the monsters broke through their blockade, they would be surrounded and have nowhere to run.
When the monsters drew near the totems and Arrow Towers, all normal monsters had already fallen, leaving only a few elite ones.
Li Yao squatted down to place an Exploding Sheep, which dashed to the cave entrance.
A few elite monsters squeezed into the entrance when the Exploding Sheep exploded.
The area damage of over a hundred points surprised the other two, making their eyes nearly pop out. The two elite monsters at the front, which had initially received the most firepower, collapsed under the force of the Exploding Sheep.
"Wow, that was thrilling! What was that?" Ditzy Dumbo exclaimed.
Although the Versatile Witch didn't ask outright, she looked at Li Yao, clearly wanting to know as well.
"Oh, it's nothing. Just a product of Engineering, an Exploding Sheep," Li Yao replied.
"So Engineering is this exciting! I'll try it when I get back!" Ditzy Dumbo's eyes sparkled.
Li Yao just chuckled. Without the bonus from the Eye of the Creator, an Engineer's items wouldn't have been so powerful.
When the last elite monster fell, the Versatile Witch sighed, "This is really incredible. If I told anyone about this, they would probably think I'm crazy."
"Hehe, it's mainly because the three of us are just too powerful. If Big Brother and Big Sister knew area attacks, it would be perfect." Ditzy Dumbo joyfully continued, "I heard that the so-called professional teams struggle to kill a Level 4 elite, which is just pathetic."
"It's not that they're weak, but rather you two are too abnormal, especially you, Prairie Fire." The Versatile Witch directed this towards Li Yao's calm face.
Li Yao's heart skipped a beat. It was obvious that both of them had connections with professional clubs, and could even contact the higher-ups. Ditzy Dumbo might be a Shaman participating in the Divine Enthronement, and the Versatile Witch, who had a Bronze Skeleton at this point, wasn't a pushover either. But thinking about the 2 billion players, many experts preferred to stay behind the scenes; he decided not to dwell on it.
The three sat on the ground, chatting and regaining their energy and HP.
After a while, Ditzy Dumbo was on her feet again. Slapping Li Yao's shoulder, she said, "Alright, it's time to get to work. Big Brother, the task of saving the world is up to you."
Li Yao was speechless. He stood up and went out to lure monsters again. The second wave included seven elite monsters and a few normal ones. This time their hands were full. After exterminating this wave, the three of them were left in poor shape.
"That was too dangerous. Five to six elite monsters would suffice; bringing in more normal ones doesn't matter The AoE damage will wipe them out," the Versatile Witch suggested.
"Alright." On the third wave, Li Yao lured out six elite monsters: it was slightly tough to deal with them, but at least there was no significant danger.
That's how it went; Li Yao kept luring waves of elite and normal monsters to the cave, wiping them out wave by wave. Thanks to the support from his teammates, he leveled up much faster than when he was solo.
Even Li Yao felt it was fast, let alone the Chameleon Witch and Dumbbell Pupil. After several hours, they leveled up to level four one after the other.
The two women found it almost addictive, and the trio fought fervently for eleven hours, only stopping when it got dark and Li Yao got into a risky situation while luring monsters.
"That was so exhilarating I don't want to stop." Despite being exhausted, Dumbbell Pupil's eyes were filled with excitement.
"It took me three days just to reach level three, but leveled up to four and a half in just one day. It's just too surreal." The Chameleon Witch was eager for more.
Li Yao was just short of level five, but he had to stop.
"We'll call it a day. We'll get back to this later."
"Okay, Big Brother, you can't leave me behind. Otherwise, I'm going to complain about you on the forum." Dumbbell Pupil said, reluctant to leave.
"Of course not. Dumbbell Pupil, you are such a hard hitter, even better than me." Li Yao patted Dumbbell Pupil's head.
"Keep in touch." The Chameleon Witch also started using her Hearthstone.
Seeing the other two returning home using Hearthstone, Li Yao instead tiptoed to Freyr to complete his task.
When Freyr saw the over one thousand elite toxic glands and several hundred standard ones that Li Yao presented, he was almost popping his eyes out.
"My friend, you have truly surprised me, your combat prowess far exceeded my expectations." Freyr brought out a long bow and a cape and said, "These are your rewards. As a friend, you can pick one."
Li Yao was slightly startled. He knew the guide he read offered Blue Equipment, but clearly there was no weapon. The attributes also weren't as prime, so obviously the toxic glands he gathered really exceeded Freyr's expectations.
Now he had a choice of a bow, which Li Yao didn't need, but the cloak seemed pretty good.
Shadow Cloak
Quality: Blue
Strength: 7
Agility: 5
Interpretation: Easier to hide when standing still
"My friend, you have a keen eye. This cloak was my favorite when I was young. I hope you can put it to good use." Freyr gently stroked the cloak before handing it over to Li Yao.
A dazzling golden light illuminated and Li Yao advanced to level five.
Li Yao put on the cloak. His attributes significantly increased. The massive cloak made him look like a wizard. If he were to flip the hood on, he would look just like the Chameleon Witch in her cloak. Others could hardly see his face.
"Anything else I can help with?"
Freyr waved his hand and said, "It's late. Come find me here tomorrow."
"Alright." Li Yao bowed in response and started using his Hearthstone.
Li Yao logged off. The sun was already high up in the sky. He missed breakfast. After staying over for one night, he managed to get some instant noodles for breakfast.
Just as Li Yao was considering going out for exercise, his communicator suddenly rang.
"Does our committee member still remember me?" The holographic screen showed a somewhat androgynous woman in a professional dress, appearing very efficient.
"How could I forget our esteemed class president?" Li Yao responded with a slight smile. The woman speaking was the vice-president and life committee officer during their college years. Li Yao served as the academic committee member, though he never deemed this position important.
"I must correct you once again, I'm the vice-president."
Li Yao smirked. Of course, he knew the actual class president was Li Haitao, a flamboyant second-generation rich kid, "Alright, alright, he's always entitled but when trouble arises, he's nowhere to be found. By the way, why did our honorable class president remember this nobody like me?"
It wasn't that Li Yao bore a grudge against the rich, but Li Haitao's position was a bit underhanded. His father donated a hundreds-story experimental building to the school, everyone knew the story well.
"Ehem, I almost forgot what I was here for. Do you remember the reunion we discussed a while ago?" Wang Xiaolei asked.
"Uh, yeah, I remember. So, you've set the date and location?" Li Yao asked.
"Yes, since everyone is here in Mingzhu City for the carnival, we thought it would be a good opportunity as many people would be coming. So, we decided to have a get-together. It's at 10 a.m. today, at the Mingzhu Grand Hotel. You're available, right?"
"Sure, I'll be there on time." After hanging up, Li Yao's memory of the upcoming reunion became clearer.
To increase its publicity, The Ancient God World coordinated a promotional carnival across all the administrative stars in the Solar System and all major administrative districts.
The location for the China region was in Mingzhu City. It was a grand occasion. After the carnival, it signified the demise of all the struggling old games and the arrival of The Ancient God World's era of domination.
Many of Li Yao's classmates had tickets. These people came to Mingzhu in advance to reconnect with old classmates a year after graduation. Of course, the most active one was the nominal class president.
Li Haitao's father also saw the potential of The Ancient God World's market and entrusted the gaming business to Li Haitao, who wanted to rally most of his classmates under his command and establish a guild. After all, classmates were close-knit and the attractive conditions were indeed enticing.
However, Li Haitao and Li Yao were simply incompatible. They had had lots of arguments in school. Last lifetime, the reunion led to a very humiliating incident for Li Yao, causing him to lose face and become the laughingstock of the event.
"After a reincarnation..." Li Yao chuckled and walked into the bathroom...
