Chapter 159: Not on the Sa Level
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The leveling place that Violetmoon Devilite and others chose was deep in the Snow Domain. There was so odd reason to why these people have a special fondness for this Snow Domain.
However, what made Qin Ruo felt fortunate was that, they did not go to the previous spot. Although the respawn rate and the monster’s number of that place was high, Qin Ruo did not think that with the absent of Grand Magi, the only lee class in the team, Grandiose Dragon, could handle so many Tier 4 Winter Wendigos.
Qin Ruo was in a good mood now as he was more confident with his ability, but he was not that arrogant to think that he could face that many Tier 4 Winter Wendigos without consuming any MP Potion.
Qin Ruo also tried to avoid the excessive use of MP.
He did not even cast his Tier 2 Aquabarrier. He only used simple skills to trap the monster when the monster entered his attack range. After that, he left the job to deliver the killing blow to Grandiose Dragon, who liked to rush to the front and show off his skills.
Although the attacks he delivered was more on showing off the skill it was no problem for them to deal with one or two monsters at the sa ti with the help of three people. The only thing Qin Ruo was annoyed about was that this guy had consud at least four MP Potions along the way. The man was too wasteful!
The deeper they went, the higher the level of the monsters. Qin Ruo began to feel suspicious, wondering where Grandiose Dragon, who was in front, would lead the team. When he caught sight of the figures of Yeti and Ice Python from far away, he imdiately figured out Grandiose Dragon’s malicious intent.
The monsters in the “early” region of the Snow Domain were all lee type. As long as they had a lee class to block them in front, the Elentalists and Bowmasters did not have to worry about their own safety. But deep in the Snow Domain, the number of long-ranged monsters such as Ice Pythons and Yetis started to increase. The threat to long-ranged Classes player beca greater.
Grandiose Dragon’s purpose to bring the team there was as clear as daylight. He wanted to humiliate Qin Ruo.
Qin Ruo snorted to himself coldly.
“Little trick! If I was still in Tier 3, I would definitely not be willing to co here. But after the Tier 4 Advancent Quest, I can easily fight an Ice Python with Violetmoon Devilite’s support. It is hard to say who is going to be humiliated.”
Qin Ruo did not expose the Grandiose Dragon’s little trick, but this did not an that others would notice it.
“Wait a minute!”
Violetmoon Devilite bellowed. She frowned as she turned back and told Grandiose Dragon, “Don’t go any further. Up ahead is the territory of the Ice Pythons and Yetis. It’s very dangerous. Let’s find a farming point around here!”
“Do not worry, Qin Ruo and I are more than capable!” Grandiose Dragon smiled and asked Qin Ruo, “Am I right?”
“Ice Pythons and Yetis are long-ranged attack monsters. You clearly know how difficult it is to deal with them. A normal team of ten will not even be able to provoke them! Were you listening when I explained that?”
Violetmoon Devilite knew Grandiose Dragon’s intention. On normal occasions, when her brother was there, they did not dare to even approach that area because of the Yetis and Ice Pythons. They not only had long-ranged attack capabilities and their attacks which were a major threat but their lee attack power was also very horrifying. A normal Tier 4 Warrior would not want to face them. With the current four-mber team, which consisted of one Swordsman, one Elentalist, one Bowmaster and one Priest, there was no way for them to deal with the Ice Pythons and Yetis.
In the past, it was still manageable when they had Ignis Swordmaster, Grand Magi, at least he could fight the Yetis or the Ice Pythons. With Grandiose Dragon, he did not give people a sense of security. Although he sounded extrely confident, he gave an impression to Violetmoon Devilite that he was not able to defeat either the Yetis or the Ice Pythons.
“We just go there and have a look.”
“You go on your own, if you want!”
Violetmoon Devilite stood still. With the silence of other two, Grandiose Dragon suddenly felt awkward. Then, he forced a smile, and finally thought of a more reasonable excuse.
“Actually I am doing this for you. Devil, you just bind your Ice Python as your pet. Now you need to understand more about an Ice Python. It may help when your pet hatches!”
His sincere and thoughtful behavior made Violetmoon Devilite speechless.
However, Blue Princess was not happy so she protested.
“Yes, we can. However, isn’t there seven days left? Isn’t it better to wait until Devil’s brother cos online? With only four people, what should we do if we encountered danger?”
“But we have Qin Ruo! This is a rare opportunity! Grand Magi also said that Qin Ruo is stronger than him... Besides, Qin Ruo is so busy, we don’t know when we can et him again... right?”
Grandiose Dragon continued to persuade. He talked about it and gave so sowhat good points. Even Violetmoon Devilite turned and looked at Qin Ruo.
“Brother Qin, do you think it is safe?”
Qin Ruo shrugged expressionlessly.
“Grandiose Dragon is right. You need to know more about the Ice Pythons. The Ice Pythons’ combat ability is very strong. If you use it properly, it is possible that your combat power will be doubled.”
“Qin Ruo, you seem to know the Ice Pythons well. Did you deal with Ice Pythons often?” Grandiose Dragon wondered as he looked at Qin Ruo.
“Oh, I am not. I just t them when I was doing my Advancent Quest.”
“Advancent Quest? Just once?”
Grandiose Dragon and the two girls were in disbelief. He had only just t them once and he recomnded this monster to Violetmoon Devilite as a pet? What a person...
Violetmoon Devilite was deeply shocked when she heard what Qin Ruo said. She stared at him nervously, ignoring the fact that Ice Pythons were not such lovely pets. This Pet Egg was worth 2,000 gold coins. If it was deed useless after it hatches, it would be a waste.
Seeing Violetmoon Devilite’s worry, Qin Ruo smiled and said, “Don’t worry. So people may not really understand a monster, even if they deal with it every day. So can do it with just a simple encounter. The duration when I dealt with the Ice Pythons in the dungeon was not short. In fact, I was grinding for more than an hour. During the quest, I had even asked my friend for so information. If you are really worried or you don’t like it, then I will pay the fee to change one for you.”
Violetmoon Devilite quickly shook her head and hurriedly explained, “No, no, no. I did not an that. Don’t be angry. I just thought... it is quite awkward... Since Brother Qin said so, I certainly believe in your opinion.”
As soon as Grandiose Dragon heard this, he felt very uncomfortable. He curled his lip at Qin Ruo, who seed “very arrogant”. Then, he interjected sarcastically, “Oh, you took more than an hour to finish the Advancent Quest? Must be too tough even for you.”
“Haha!”
Qin Ruo laughed and said, “Not only more than one hour... At that ti, I rember using a couple of hours!”
Qin Ruo did not care about Grandiose Dragon looking down on him. There are so things that Qin Ruo was not good at. One of which was understanding sarcasm in stupid people’s comnts. Still, it was not necessary to deal with outsiders.
The two were not on the sa level at all.
Nevertheless, poor Grandiose Dragon was completely out of the loop. When Qin Ruo exposed his “weakness”, Grandiose Dragon’s face turned smugger. On the surface, he still pretended to be concerned and continued asking, “Ahem. How can this happen? I recall that I didn’t face much difficulty when I was doing my quest. Did you forget to bring potions or sothing else?”
The expression on his face could fool others to think that he was Qin Ruo’s best friend, being concerned about his well-being.
Qin Ruo glanced at him, and simply continue to play along.
“I don’t know either. At that ti, I brought enough potions. There were more than ten groups of MP potion in my backpack. I just feel that the quest was very difficult, and I wasted more than an hour on the Ice Pythons.”
“...”
When Grandiose Dragon heard that Qin Ruo had brought more than ten sets of MP potions, he was also shocked. Together with Blue Princess, he looked at Qin Ruo, impressed. Soon, he recovered from that shock.
“How could this happen, you ask. Well, I still rember that when I was doing this Advancent Quest, I also t a group of Tier 4 monsters, there was a huge number of them... But I led them into a room and they all got trapped at the entrance. I was able to kill them one by one!”
He seed satisfied as he told his story. Little did he know, Violetmoon Devilite was secretly laughing.
After all, acting was her profession. In her eyes, the amateurish acting of Qin Ruo and Grandiose Dragon could not fool anyone. Besides, in the conversation, she noticed that the two groups of Tier 4 monsters they encountered during their own Advancent Quest were quite different.
One was Swordsman and the other, an Elentalist. Although they had faced Ice Pythons and so kind of lee monster, the difficulty was absolutely different.
Grandiose Dragon could trap the monsters in front of the entrance. As long as he had enough potion, it was no problem for him to kill more lee-type Tier 4 monster. On the other hand, Qin Ruo needed to deal with a versatile monster with lee and long-range attack ability. It was far more dangerous!
Unfortunately, Grandiose Dragon did not realize it. He did not notice the hidden aning in Qin Ruo’s words. He was complacent and kept trying to belittle Qin Ruo to make himself look better. God knows how he had dramatized this matter.
As expected, in the admiring stare of Qin Ruo and Blue Princess, Grandiose Dragon soon started to tell his story about how easy and quick his Tier 4 Advancent Quest was.
After he annihilated more than ten Tier 3 and Tier 4 monsters, it took only forty minutes for him to kill two Level 43 Lava Trolls. However, he had consud a bit more MP Potions, about three sets. He had also used up a lot of HP Potion too.
As soon as Grandiose Dragon was done talking, he looked at Qin Ruo, proudly, asking, “What about you?”
“At that ti, besides the Ice Pythons, you probably have t other Tier 4 monsters too right? I heard that in the Tier 4 Advancent Quest, you will et at least one or two Tier 4 interdiate monsters. Ice Pythons. Hmm... it can only be regarded as Tier 4 beginner monsters. What is the most difficult monster you have ever encountered? How did you pass?”
“Haha, let’s not talk about this, it is too embarrassing.”
When Qin Ruo thought of when he was pushed off the cliff, he spoke a half-truth.
“Co on, it doesn’t matter. You’ve advanced anyway. We’re all friends and we won’t laugh at you.”
Grandiose Dragon chided. In the end, Qin Ruo had “no choice” but to reveal the “truth”.
“All right then!”
