Chapter 9: The Proud Family
I chuckled softly, my expression turning cold as I charged forward, the glimmering battle axe sweeping down from the air
Seeing a slight change in my expression, the arrogant man laughed heartily and said: "You see, there are three of us, and you are alone. If you are willing to sell that weapon, I can offer a high price. If you insist on refusing, then do not blame me for making a deal without capital!"
I couldn't help but let out a cold laugh as I brushed past him, whispering, "If you lack the ability, don't try to imitate others and act grand!"
However, the proud and aloof Piaoyu was stunned, standing there for a long while before saying: "I... I am sorry..."
Suddenly, the arrogant madman did not hide the disdain in his eyes and laughed loudly: "Indeed, a novice, bloodthirsty, let's deal with him together!"
The arrogant madman was instantly enraged, brandishing his iron sword as he charged forward, cursing: "Bastard, you killed my brother!"
At this time, a large number of players logged into the game during the peak hours after work. Many people even entered the game without having dinner. This led to the novice village quickly becoming overcrowded, making it impossible to level up at the village entrance. Consequently, players began to venture into the forests surrounding the village. Of course, there were many high-level monsters waiting for them there, which could bring experience and wealth, but could also lead to death
I couldn't help but be taken aback and quickly glanced at the attributes of the slime
After defeating several slimes, I finally obtained a Slime Medal as desired, and the task can finally be completed
I couldn't help but silently lament as I quickly stepped forward to catch up with it. This time, I did not act rashly. Only after I saw the slime begin to move did I swing my battle axe. A magnificent arc followed, and the shimmering battle axe swept past the spot where the slime had retreated. Instantly, the slime was nearly deformed from the blow, and a stream of venom flowed from the wound, causing its health to drop sharply by 254 points.
The slime is a type of monster that is green and resembles mud, excelling in venomous attacks. This is quite troublesome, as venomous attacks are ranged. These cunning slimes can employ hit-and-run tactics to lead players in circles, causing great distress
So, I smiled and said, "Since that's the case, let's get started; my time is very precious!"
Level: 10
Defense: 10
Just now, a slime dropped as many as 48 copper coins, definitely qualifying it as a wealthy monster
After this small farce, I have finally embarked on this journey, heading to the west side of the village to clear the monsters near the outpost!
At that moment, a slime came rushing towards me. It suddenly stopped a few steps away, bent its body, and suddenly shot out a stream of green liquid that splashed onto me. Instantly, a sharp pain surged through me, and my vitality dropped by as much as 70 points!
Perhaps she is afraid that I might conveniently send her back to the city as well
Green Slime (Common Monster)
Aoshi Piaoyu immediately stood to the side, displeased, and pouted, saying: "Then you can do it yourself; I won't participate!"
The arrogant madman glanced at me and said, "Such a novice, I don't even take him seriously!"
Fortunately, I now have bat leather armor and wilderness boots, which significantly enhance my defense; otherwise, I would likely lose more than half of my health in an instant
Hey, just the two of us, Bloodthirsty and I, are enough
The iron sword suddenly struck down, and Ao Shi, who was bloodthirsty, had moved to my right side without my noticing, thrusting a dagger towards me without any warning
Time passes bit by bit, and each slime almost takes me about one minute. Killing them is quick, but attracting monsters is a technical task. A few times, I accidentally attracted an extra slime, which left me in a flurry trying to consume potions, and I almost died on the spot
This arrogant madman is clearly envious of my Glimmering Battle Axe, it seems that this time it cannot end peacefully
I feel an immense sense of satisfaction; while others are still battling a level 10 goblin, I have already begun to take on this formidable attacking slime!
According to the setting in "Ling Tong", there are two major cities in the Chinese region, and within the jurisdiction of each major city, there are five secondary cities. Surrounding each secondary city are numerous towns and small villages, and it is in these small villages that I find myself in the novice village
It seems that while the slime has high attack power, its defense is quite poor, categorizing it as a high-attack, low-defense type of monster, which is very suitable for leveling up. Of course, this is contingent upon having enough health potions for replenishment
At that moment, a flash of golden light appeared ahead, followed by a thunderous roar that shook the heavens. Immediately after, several players at the forefront were instantaneously eliminated.
I am slightly pleased, as I have shown great foresight this time. I did not bring much else, but I brought plenty of potions
Puff!
Type of attack: Venom attack
After several evasions by the slime, I have completely grasped its movement trajectory; I can almost predict which corner it will escape to as soon as it wiggles its rear. The attack of the Glimmering Battle Axe can almost hit with 100% accuracy. A single slime has only 800 health points, and when I delivered the fourth strike, it finally let out a "squeak" of a cry, then perished and dropped some copper coins.
The arrogant madman chuckled, "This kid doesn't know how to appreciate kindness; I'll just teach him a lesson!"
With a sharp crack, the glowing battle axe cleaved down from the shoulder of the arrogant madman, sending him flying away. The damage of 234 points was enough to cause him to perish for the second time
I instantly eliminated two gray-name players, yet my evil value did not increase in the slightest. Meanwhile, that arrogant madman dropped a few small potions upon his demise, which I promptly picked up and tossed into my bag. It seems he came to deliver supplies to me!
Suddenly, both the Arrogant Worldly Madman and the Arrogant Bloodthirsty were greatly astonished, unable to help but exclaim: "How could... such high defense exist!"
At this time, I had already reached level 10. Logically, at level 10, I should be able to take up a job. However, I was still 1 Slime Medal short of gathering 100 to complete the quest. Therefore, I decided it would be better to wait until I finished the quest before returning to the novice village.
Without a word, I swung the Radiant Battle Axe from the right, crashing it down under the armpit of the Proud Madman, and saw the damage number "178" rise directly above his head. However, he did not fall. The iron sword also struck my shoulder, inflicting a mere 27 points of damage.
At this moment, Ao Shi Piao Yu, standing beside, grabbed Ao Shi Kuang Ren's hand and exclaimed, "Brother! Why are you falling back into your old habits again? Didn't we agree that this time in Ling Tong, you would be a good person? Why are you seeking enmity with others again?"
The dim light of the battle axe swept through the air, striking precisely at the chest of the arrogant and bloodthirsty foe. With a crisp sound, the sharp axe had already sent the arrogant bloodthirsty opponent flying, and before hitting the ground, they had transformed into a white light and returned to the city
Attack: 25 - 35
The combined strike of the two individuals only reduced my health by less than one-fourth, which left the Proud World Madman and the Proud World Bloodthirsty utterly astonished. At the same time, their names had both turned gray, indicating malicious attacks. This is the moment I have been waiting for
On the head of the golden slime are the large characters: King of the Golden Slime!
I couldn't help but gasp in shock, wow! The super BOSS has finally appeared
Snap
Time is precious, and I must proceed with caution. After luring a slime, I quickly retreated, then struck it down with my axe, blow by blow. I can still withstand the attack of one slime, but if there are more, even consuming a potion worth 300 points would likely not be enough. After all, the slime's attack reaches a terrifying 35 points. With my black iron boots, I can manage, but if it were someone else, they would probably be killed instantly.
I couldn't help but smile and said, "Go level up quickly, focus more on defeating monsters and less on player killing; that way, leveling up will be faster"
... ...
A massive, golden-hued slime rampaged through the crowd, its golden venom splattering out in bursts that always emitted a flash of white light. Those still wearing clothing with a defense rating of 1 were utterly unable to withstand it
In the distance, there is a makeshift outpost ahead, where two panicked village militia stand guard. Below the outpost, it is filled with slimes; this place has already been occupied by them. My task is to turn them one by one into my experience and copper coins
Wow! It is actually a level 10 monster! No wonder the task difficulty is 80. With my level 7, I will definitely be at a disadvantage in the fight
A piece of spring mud was split apart, yet it did not touch the arrogant world's madman at all
To the west of the village I am heading to, there are quite a few players hunting level 3 goblins, and some players have even formed groups of three to five to take on higher-level fire bats and wild wolves. However, after I crossed a hill, I encountered slimes of various sizes around me, and here, I finally did not see any other players
Vital energy and blood: 800
The arrogant madman immediately grasped the iron sword and said with a voice full of hatred: "Unappreciative!" m.hetushu.com.com
The past five hours have quickly passed. Looking at the in-game real time, it is already 1 AM. During this time, I have lost count of how many slimes I have killed. The only thing I can see is that the number of slime medals in my inventory is increasing. However, it is somewhat disappointing that after defeating so many monsters, I only received a level 8 white leg armor with a defense of 9. I equipped it immediately, which increased my defense by another 9 points. The only thing I can see is that the number of slime medals in my inventory is increasing.

A slight pain, and two numbers "24" and "32" floated above my head
Along the way, the little goblins were running around chaotically, often brandishing small axes and charging at me while shouting loudly. However, such level 1 monsters no longer posed any threat to me. With a flick of my Glimmering Battle Axe, I sent the little goblin flying into the air, earning 10 experience points and casually collecting 3 copper coins into my pouch
Aoshi Piaoyu nodded gently, then said "I can't afford to fight," before turning and leaving
I checked the records, and a single slime actually gave me 260 experience points due to my killing monsters at level 3!
Call!
Puff!
The arrogant madman suddenly drew a long sword, which appeared to be an iron sword. It seemed to be a white piece of equipment, lacking any luster. Meanwhile, the bloodthirsty figure raised a small dagger, which also appeared to be a white piece of equipment
Without a word, I stepped forward and swung my axe. To my great surprise, the slime actually bounced back a step, and my strike missed completely
There are increasingly more high-level players around, and many have joined the ranks of slaying slimes. Among these individuals, some have already reached level 8 or 9. However, when looking at the entire leveling area, I am the only one who has reached level 10. Moreover, it is evident that these players have not taken on any quests, as they have not dropped any medals. Of course, it is also possible that this quest is unique; who knows!
