Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

The earth magic demon that had been attacked by Lu Yuan felt a sharp pain coming from its body. It growled and looked around vigilantly, wanting to see who had the guts to attack it in the mine.

After looking around, the earth magic demon was dazed.

There was no one around. If not for the burning pain coming from its body, the earth magic demon would have thought that it was hallucinating.

Lu Yuan’s lips curled up at the earth magic demon’s reaction, and he did not hesitate as he continued to stab at the earth magic demon.

[-17!]

[-21!]

[-13!]

[-19!]

...

About ten seconds later.

The earth magic demon fell to the ground and turned into a ray of white light before dying in the mine.

Even until its death, it had not been able to figure out how it died.

The item drop rate in the World of Apocalypse was incredibly low, and even though Lu Yuan had killed a monster three levels higher than him, this earth magic demon had only given him a few dozen copper coins.

However, cross-level killings brought many bonus EXPs. Killing just one earth magic demon gave him 20 EXP, increasing his EXP bar by 1%.

Lu Yuan was not surprised. He casually put away the copper coins and looked at another earth magic demon.

It was the same series of actions.

Lu Yuan stayed in the shadows, like a Grim Reaper in the dark, mercilessly harvesting the lives of the earth magic demons.

Until there were only ten seconds left for Shadow Following, Lu Yuan had killed more than ten earth magic demons.

Outside the mine, Lu Yuan retreated in excitement.

Killing more than ten earth magic demons had increased his EXP bar to 19%. In addition to that, he had gained more than 700 copper coins, three bottles of small MP recovery potion, and a mage skill book.

It seems that I’m quite lucky, I managed to get a skill book in one attempt.

Lu Yuan was delighted. He had obtained a skill book by killing only a dozen monsters.

And it was a skill book for the mage profession.

It could be considered to have barely made up for his lack of offensive skills.

An important part of his mission was completed.

[First-tier spell]: Summon Fire

[Description]: As a first-tier entry-level spell, it is the entry-level principle for elemental-type spells. It can be considered an essential spell for every mage. Learning it will help you understand the rhythm of the elements.

[Effect]: Consumes 20 MP and summons a ball of flame. Deals 35 +1.6 Intelligence bonus magic damage to the front. Cooldown time: 5 seconds.

Lu Yuan directly opened the skill book and chose to learn it.

After the Summon Fire skill was imprinted on his attribution panel, he looked at the three small MP recovery potions in his backpack.

[Small MP Recovery Potion]

[Description]: A casual creation of a level 2 Alchemist. Although it is only the most basic of MP recovery potions, it can still recover a considerable amount of MP for novice adventurers.

[Effect]: Recovers 10 MP per second. The total effect lasts for 10 seconds.

Lu Yuan casually added the remaining attribute points to his Intelligence, raising his maximum MP to 200 points. Then, he swallowed two bottles of MP recovery potion.

After waiting for 20 seconds for his MP to return to full, Lu Yuan walked around the mine and found a heavily injured NPC lying on the ground.

[Solar Mika, Level 19, Amber City Guard (heavily injured).]

“Hello, is there anything I can help you with?” Lu Yuan walked up. As a pure human, he had an innate advantage over the other races in front of NPCs like city guards.

Even in the World of Apocalypse, there was a saying that people who were not of the same race would have different thoughts, and thus would be treated hostilely.

“Hello, my compatriot. I really need your help, but you’re very weak. I don’t want you to die because of this,” Solaka said as he looked at Lu Yuan, his pale lips moving.

“I’m Miss Norma’s disciple, and I think you’ll need my help,” Lu Yuan said as he casually summoned a ball of flames.

25 MP disappeared, and in return, he obtained a ball of flame that he could manipulate at will.

“If that’s the case, that’s great. However, I need to test your strength. Can you help me kill a wolf king and bring its fangs back to me?” Solaka said.

The wolf king was a boss in the novice village. Although it was only at level 5, with the support of the boss panel, its strength was not weaker than an ordinary earth magic demon. 𝘧𝔯e𝗲𝙬ℯ𝙗𝓷o𝘷e𝗹.𝐜𝑜𝒎

The initial mission was to kill a level 5 boss. One could foresee the difficulty of this mission.

“It is my honor to be of service to you, sir.” Lu Yuan bowed slightly. His etiquette was even better than some of the native life forms.

[Solaka has a mission for you. Will you accept it?]

[Obtain the wolf’s fang]

[Mission Level]: First tier

[Mission Requirements]: Solaka, who is heavily injured, needs the wolf king’s fang to be used as medicine to heal his injuries. Please retrieve the wolf’s fang within an hour.

[Mission Reward]: Solaka’s favorability + 20, follow-up missions, EXP 150, the player may choose a first tier skill book of any class.

Lu Yuan accepted the mission and left.

Solaka had a mission series on him, and even Solaka himself was a huge treasure.

Because Solaka was an Alchemist.

If players’ favorability with Solaka reached the level of Fond, they could activate the sideline system and spend money to learn Alchemy from Solaka.

Leaving the mine, Lu Yuan walked towards the level 2 training area.

Wild wolves were only level 2, and they could only be spawned in the level 2 training area.

To gain EXP in the Apocalypse Continent was particularly difficult.

Right now, most players were at level 1, and only those who had completed hidden missions with rich rewards like Lu Yuan could level up in such a short time.

Therefore, there were very few people in the level 2 training area.

When Lu Yuan arrived, there were only a few scattered players in the level 2 training area leveling up in the area. Most of these players still grouped up according to their professions to kill the wild monsters.

After entering the level 2 training area, Lu Yuan quickly approached a wild wolf. When he was within five meters of the wild wolf, he triggered the wolf’s aggro. The wild wolf immediately stared at Lu Yuan with its scarlet eyes.

“Hey bro, hurry up and leave. This is a level 2 training area, and you won’t be able to defeat it by yourself. The Apocalypse’s death penalty is too severe, so don’t mess around.”

A priest player who was farming wild wolves saw that Lu Yuan was acting like a hothead and tried to persuade him to leave as he casually healed his teammate.

In the World of Apocalypse, there was a death penalty system. After dying once, the player would enter a weakened state, all stats would be reduced by?50% for 3 hours.

It could be said that the system was very strict.

In response to the priest player’s friendly reminder, Lu Yuan turned around and smiled. At the same time, his hands didn’t stop as he summoned a ball of flames and threw it at the charging wild wolf.

Bang!

Flames exploded.

The wild wolf was blown away.

A large, blood-red number appeared on its body.

[-108]

Normally, not mentioning magic resistance, Lu Yuan’s Summon Fire spell could only deal 67 damage each time.

However, in the World of Apocalypse, if the level difference was too big, there was a hierarchical suppression. Thus, when a level 5 Lu Yuan fought a level 2 wild wolf, his damage was increased by 50%.

A wild wolf only had less than 150 HP, and a hit of Lu Yuan’s Summon Fire had taken out two-thirds of its health.

The wild wolf howled as it got up and looked at Lu Yuan as it charged forward once more.

The skill was in cooldown, and Lu Yuan did not stay idle. He quickly walked up to the wolf and stabbed his novice dagger into its throat.

[-49!]

With a red light, the wild wolf fell to the ground and turned into white light.

Lu Yuan casually put away the items dropped by the wolf and quickly rushed towards the other wolves.

Under the hierarchical suppression, level 5 versus level 2 was like fighting a baby. Lu Yuan did not even need to use his skills, he only needed three attacks to kill a wild wolf.

On the other side, the priest player who had been watching the whole time saw that Lu Yuan killed the wild wolf so concisely. Her lips slightly opened, and she muttered, “Dead!”

“I’m indeed dying. Quickly heal me, Sister Qing.” In front of the priest, a warrior holding an epee blocked in front of a wild wolf. At this moment, his HP bar was already turning red.

“Coming, coming.” The priest player who had come back to her senses hurriedly cast Divine Heal, allowing the warrior’s HP bar to recover by one column.

Looking at the wild wolf in front of her which was about to be maimed by them, the priest player recalled that Lu Yuan had used a spell to deal 108 damage. She could not help but walk forward, then she raised her fist to smash at the wild wolf’s body.

[-1!]

The priest player looked at the [-1] damage point and bit her lips lightly. She fell into deep thought.

When she saw that the thief in her party had only dealt 9 damage in one attack, she instantly understood. f𝘳𝚎𝐞we𝐛𝑛𝐨𝘃e𝘭.co𝘮

“This is an expert.” Thinking of the scene where she had reminded him not to send himself to his death, the priest player felt her face burn.

“Sister Qing, why are you distracted again? Heal me, I’m begging you, I’m really going to die.”
