Chapter 7: Leveling Up in Crazy Way part 2
I didn't know why there was a new red color among them with the highest values. But I was happy. My damage was better than that arrogant cool swordsman.
I didn't stop my hands as I walked backward in a well familiar way to me. That was the usual fighting technique in my kingdom. Hit and Run technique was very simple and effective. I continued to hit them with my spear without stopping.
"6 -12 -12 -6 -6 -18 -6 -12- 6- 18- 6 -6-12"
Different colors flash rapidly in front of me. I felt a little tired. Although the spear did not weight at all but I was tired from hitting these foxes and the power recoil from every strike. When I reached my limit after 20 seconds I yelled:
"You start."
I continued my barrage of attacks on the foxes. During this, I didn't notice any attack from him at all! I screamed:
"I swear if you didn't attack now I will kill you with my bare hands! Attack you damn cool swordsman!"
As if my words took him out of his daydreaming, his attack fell on the foxes. We kept this rhythm alternating between his attack and mine.
He learned by time the technique of my kingdom. That made things easier. My damage output was around 250 every 20 seconds which was my limit. His damage output was much similar to mine, but he was able to hold his own for 30 seconds. In 4 minutes all the five monsters laid on the ground dead.
"System Prompt: you killed lvl3 novice village fox. You killed a monster above your level. You got 165 XP"
"System Prompt: you killed lvl3 novice village fox. You killed a monster above your level. You got 165 XP"
"System Prompt: you killed lvl3 novice village fox. You killed a monster above your level. You got 165 XP"
Five subsequent notices flashed in front of my eyes in golden color. Oh god, I love this golden color! I got 825 XP total from all of them. I noticed Shin was looking at me strangely like he was afraid of me.
"What? Why do you look afraid of me!"
"Just now you got AC damage more than once. How did you do it?"
"What do you mean?"
"The damage we cause to the monsters is stratified into normal white damage, critical yellow damage, Absolut critical 'AC' red damage, and Lethal dark damage.
Just now more than 50% of your damage was critical and many times you had red AC. How did you manage to do that? It depended on luck to have this kind of damage! Do you have a luck stat value?"
I understood what those flashy colors meant. I felt familiar with the lucky name so I opened my profile at once. I found that I had a luck value indeed so I replied:
"Yes, I have a lucky stat with a value of 20. Is this high or low?"
"High or low? You are a dumb girl! No this is a rare value! Luck is one of the hidden stats that never appeared to any normal player. You needed many fortunate encounters to just open this stat. did you get 20 AP there? You are the god of luck newbie princess!"
I didn't get most of his blabbering but I guessed this stat was Important and unique! I looked around and pointed to the dead monsters with many scattered things around asking:
"Are these monsters dropping?"
"Yes."
"How will we share them then?"
"We are just a team of two players, so don't worry. I will get you a fair share. Usually, in larger teams, the leader would be responsible for this. He would distribute equipment to players based on their classes.
If there were two players with the same class then there are multiple ways to solve this issue. If they were in a guild then an auction will be made using guild contribution points.
If they were from different guilds or just individual players, then they bet with their money. Also, there is another way by determining the more effective role between the two and the better player wins the gear.
Anyway, our levels are weaker than all the equipment levels here, so we wouldn't be able to use them for now till we raise our levels."
I would be lying if I said I understood what he said! But many words caught my attention, like guild! I have a guild establishing stone in my possession. I need to know more about guilds. I must be very cautious so I wouldn't arouse his doubts.
"You mentioned guilds, what are they? I got many XP, how much do I need to raise one more level?"
"Guilds are like a formal gathering of players. Guilds here in Destiny games are limited only to those arrogant aristocratic descendants.
Sometimes new guilds would appear from time to time but they would all be destroyed rapidly from the old aristocratic guilds. About leveling up, we still have a long way to go. To upgrade from lv0 to lv1 we need 20k XP. We still need a lot of XP to think about lvl1 silly girl."
I was thinking about the guild issue till I heard him saying the total XP I needed to reach lvl1. I forgot all about guilds for now and said in exclamation:
"That's a huge amount of XP. How will I be able to get all these XP?"
"By killing monsters again and again. Your method is great. If we keep this up I expect we will reach lvl1 in no more than 2 hours."
"Are you sure?"
"Sure. By the way, this hit and run was a good strategy!"
"Thanks. That is a technique used in my kingdom. Now let's check the drop of these monsters."
We started organizing the drop. The five monsters were stingy.
"They only dropped 100 copper coins each and only two lvl5 trash equipment! That is awful!"
"That is normal. These are just weakling monsters."
"So we need to search for bigger monsters!"
"Oh, God! No, not bigger! Size has nothing to do with monsters here."
"Then we need to find higher-level monsters!"
"Not at a higher level. If you go higher you will only have higher trash equipment."
"I'm confused. What should we do then to get better drops?"
"We need to find ourselves higher grade monsters."
"Even if it was just lvl3?"
"Yes. Here everything depends on the grade and ranks, even for players like you."
"What about you then?"
I sensed from his last words that he was putting himself in a different place than me and other players. My six senses were right! This youth hides a very deep secret.
I remembered what he did when he discovered I was lying. So when I noticed his pale face and dazed looks I said changing the topic:
"Now let's start hunting these monsters."
I moved to attract the next wave of monsters. He didn't lag, as he joined me in these small battles. Our efficiency improved fight after fight. So our time was decreasing battle after battle.
In nearly two hours I worked till death. Finally, I reached lvl2. Shin reached lvl2 half an hour before me. That meant he had been here before I joined the game.
After each battle, we always took some rest and spoke a little. Every time in our rest I asked one question about guilds. I needed to understand the full scope of my current situation.
I learned a lot of important info which would help me a lot in the future. This game had only started for two days. It would still accept new players for the rest of the month.
These new players would always come from the Frod test. I also knew that there are different ranks for each player. These ranks defined everyone's future.
There were ranks such as guild vice president, guild strategist, guild army leader and other ranks that were necessary for any guild. I also knew that when the game started like this game, those aristocratic descendants joined the new game at once.
I felt astonished when Shin told me that the number of these descendants was huge! As he told me, the multi-million years old Empire had uncountable branches of aristocrats with endless descendants.
