Chapter 23
“Mom, please come home.”
Lin Bei said over the phone, “I earned 200,000 yuan from the new server of Second World. I’ll earn more in the future. You don’t have to suffer anymore. Sister can get better treatment in the future!”
“How much?”
“240,000, to be exact.”
Lin Bei smiled and said, “Dad, Mom, come back. It’s not safe to drive a freight truck outside. I plan to build a professional team and need help. Come back and help.”
“Well ...”
Jiang Xia looked at Lin Yuanshan beside her and asked.
“Alright, Xiaobei. We’ll finish our work first. We’ll help you later. It’ll be a week at most.”
“Alright, be careful on the road! I’ll transfer 100,000 to you later and repay the car loan.”
Then, Lin Bei chatted with his parents for a while before hanging up.
Although his parents had promised to come back and help, it was not difficult for him to tell from their words that they were worried about him.
“However, this is only the beginning! I have the game experience and technology of the current era. It’s not difficult to earn money!”
Lin Bei’s gaze was firm. Moreover, he had a batch of accounts with top-notch talents.
With these, he believed that he could quickly dispel his parents’ doubts!
...
“What do you think, Family Head?”
Jiang Xia looked at the 100,000 dollars transfer notification on her phone and smiled bitterly.
“Sigh, I guess this kid is just lucky. He got a first killing or something, dropped some equipment, and sold them for some money. But this situation depends on luck. It’s not very stable. And even if Xiaobei has talent, this world doesn’t lack talent. The path of a profession isn’t as easy as he thinks!”
Lin Yuanshan used to be a professional player in other games when he was young, but he didn’t make a name for himself and retired in the end.
Therefore, Lin Yuanshan was very clear about the difficulties and dangers of the professional path. Therefore, after Lin Bei said that he wanted to establish a professional team, it was normal for him to be worried.
“Save the money for Xiaobei. It’s time for us to go back. It’s time to pay for Snowy’s medical fees and visit Xiaobei. We can’t let him take a wrong turn!”
“Alright, let’s do that.”
Jiang Xia nodded and smiled.
She did not object to Lin Bei playing the game, but he had to prioritize. If he blindly invested in the game’s gold rush because of an unexpected gain, he would probably suffer a huge blow in the end.
...
As for Lin Bei, after finding an intermediary to show him the house, he quickly logged into Second World. It was the early stages of the game, and he had to lose no time in his development. He had just logged off and spent a lot of time. What he needed to do now was to develop as soon as possible, get more equipment and sell them for money.
As soon as he went online, Lin Bei opened the level rankings and took a look.
“Fortunately, the first place is only at Level 7 with 81% EXP. This is too slow! Looks like I should be able to obtain the System reward for breaking through Level 10!”
Lin Bei heaved a sigh of relief. He had 49% EXP at Level 7 and was currently ranked 9th on the Level Rankings. The reason why he had so much EXP was all thanks to the 200 to 300 people from the Fighting Shark Empire giving him EXP. Otherwise, he would probably have been dropped off from the level rankings long ago.
“There’s no hurry. I’ll upgrade Mutated Blood to the maximum level first!”
Lin Bei opened the skill list. After leveling up continuously, he had obtained another 4 potential points, which was just enough to upgrade Mutated Blood to Level 5!
——-
Mutated Blood (Universal skill)
Level: Lv.5
Use a bottle of monster blood to mutate the target. Mutation Grade = Blood Grade.
Number of releases: 5
Spellcasting Range: 300 meters
Cooldown: 12 hours
Consumption: 1 bottle of monster blood
——-
“Very good! This way, as long as I have enough monster blood, I can kill 10 Mutated Bosses a day!”
Lin Bei was very satisfied with the effect of the Level 5 Mutated Blood. Then, he opened his backpack and looked at Explosive Thunder Karno’s corpse. He directly used the Mutated Blood to extract the corpse’s blood.
[Extraction successful! Obtained monster blood (Domain-Lord tier) x3!]
“It actually yielded three bottles of monster blood!”
Lin Bei was stunned for a moment before he reacted. Currently he had the bonus from the “+200% drop rate” Buff, so it was not strange that there were three bottles now when it was only one bottle of monster blood originally.
“However, currently, I don’t have enough potential points. Although the Buff doubled the potential points I obtained, I’m still a little short of them.”
Lin Bei frowned and looked at the huge “0” behind the potential points. He felt a little uncomfortable.
In Second World, players could learn two new professional skills every five levels, and every time they learned a skill, they would need to spend 1 potential point. Therefore, it was almost impossible to learn all the skills. Therefore, players needed to make a reasonable distribution and make a choice.
However, for Lin Bei, the pressure of potential points was even greater. This was because he planned to use the profession expansion scroll to change more professions in the future. Coupled with the Mutated Blood skill, he would have even more powerful universal skills in the future. This way, his potential points would be even tighter.
Therefore, although he could obtain 2 potential points for every level up, it was still not enough!
“Eh, wait! My Holy Light Burst... How did it reach Level 5?”
Lin Bei, who was worrying about potential points, suddenly froze because he suddenly realized that his Holy Light Burst had somehow increased to Level 5.
“Could it be... the Buff from the Silver Treasure Chest?”
Lin Bei’s eyes moved. He immediately opened his status panel and was overjoyed.
It was indeed this Buff!
Moreover... this Buff was a freak!
[Holy Light Contract: The power of the Holy Temple Contract increases. All Holy Light-type skills +4 (Unbreakable). Duration: 8.]
Amazing!
It was a +4 Buff for all skills!
Under normal circumstances, this kind of Buff would be obtained from a treasure chest. Moreover, there was a time limit. It could only make people feel good for a short period of time. However, the problem was that he had an Unlimited Buff talent! It directly changed the duration to permanent!
This way, he could permanently obtain the Buff effect of +4 skill level. For Lin Bei, who was in short supply of potential points, this was definitely great news!
“Although it’s only to increase the level of Holy Light skills, it’s enough!”
Lin Bei was a little excited and could not wait to clean his points, but... cleaning points required the Water of Oblivion which could only be sold after Level 20, and after entering a Level 3 main city.
“I can only wait until I reach Level 20!”
With his speed, it would still be very fast for him to reach Level 20.
“The most important thing now is to reach Level 10 and get the System reward! Moreover, that nightmare-level mission is also in the Level 10 area. When the time comes, I can do both together.”
Lin Bei had a plan in mind. Then, he quickly walked into the depths of the Gloomy Jungle.
At the same time, Lin Bei looked at the other two rewards from opening the Silver Treasure Chest in his inventory.
—|—
White Wings (Special Equipment)
Level: 10
Flight: After activation, you will gain the ability to fly. Movement speed increased by 100%. Duration: 60 seconds. Cooldown: 300 seconds.
Special Effect: 1. Holy Light Damage +10%
2. Holy Light Damage Bonus 10%
3. Holy Light Damage Bonus 10%
—|—
Top-grade equipment! And it was special equipment!
Special equipment was an equipment that was independent of that in the fixed equipment column. In other words, it would not occupy the equipment column!
Moreover, every special equipment would have its own equipment skill. It was very powerful!
Generally speaking, the exposure of special equipment was extremely low. Even top-notch players might not have one. He did not expect that a Silver Treasure Chest rewarded by the first killing would actually give him one. He was really lucky.
“This additional effect is simply top-notch for me!”
Lin Bei was overjoyed and quickly took out the Stone Dagger from his backpack.
[Stone Dagger: Special tool that can be used to strengthen or refresh the equipment’s special effects.]
There were three Stone Daggers, which were just enough to strengthen the three special effects of the White Wings.
[Enhancement successful! Holy Light damage increased by 15%!]
[Enhancement successful! Holy Light damage increased by 15%!]
[Enhancement successful! Holy Light damage increased by 15%!]
In an instant, the Holy Light damage bonus of the White Wings increased to 45%!
In Second World, the success rate of the first enhancement of each special effect was 100%, the success rate of the second enhancement was 50%, the third enhancement was 25%, and so on.
Moreover, when the enhancement failed, the special effect would be reduced to Level 1. After the Level 3 enhancement, if the enhancement failed, the special effect would directly disappear. Therefore, even in his previous life, there were very few enhancements of special effects above Level 3. Usually, it was already a top-notch special effect enhancement by reaching Level 3.
Of course, the chance of getting a Stone Dagger was not high. Other than obtaining it by chance from opening a treasure chest like what Lin Bei did, there were also two ways, which was to obtain mission rewards or Boss rewards.
However, only missions with difficulty level of Hell Mode and above would drop such items. As for Boss drops, he could only rely on the probability of Mutated Bosses dropping them.
Of course, this was not difficult for Lin Bei, especially for Mutated Bosses. He could kill 10 of them in a day!
“With these White Wings and the Limit Magic Staff, when I reach Level 10, my attributes will definitely be very explosive! At that time, I’m afraid I can insta-kill the Boss, right?”
Lin Bei was a little excited. This way, his farming speed would increase greatly, and his speed of obtaining equipment would also increase greatly!
Earning money was even faster!
“I’ll use the three bottles of monster blood first and fight a few Mutated Bosses. If I can get a Stone Dagger, I’ll also strengthen the Limit Magic Staff!”
Lin Bei’s footsteps were quick as he arrived at the depths of Gloomy Jungle. There were Level 8 Minotaurs all over the place, which was perfect for him to level up!
Soon, Lin Bei found a wandering Minotaur. Without a word, he used the Mutated Blood skill on it.
[Target has mutated!]
[Mutated Minotaur (Lv.8, Domain-Lord tier)]
Success!
Lin Bei’s eyes lit up. He raised his hand and threw a Discipline Spell!
