9: Chapter 9: Found an NPC 9: Chapter 9: Found an NPC Effort begets rewards, and after Su Ran’s lengthy digging, he eventually unearthed so useful items: grave grass X30; tomb suppressing paper X10; coffins X3; bundles of ritualistic paper X6.
Reassured, the little skeleton began to dig again, his novice hoe swinging energetically.
Su Ran’s eyes glead upon seeing the freshly spawned giant mound before him – the Tomb of the Undead!
“Ding!
Your mining level is insufficient, you can’t dig.”
Damn it!
The little skeleton furiously stroked his shiny head, then turned to so smaller graves.
Clutching his novice hoe tightly, he began to excavate in earnest.
“Clang!
Clang!”
After a few swings, the pleasing sound of the system prompt ca forth.
“Ding!
Congratulations to player Skeleton on obtaining a special item: incense candle.”
[Incense Candle](Item)
During the burning of the incense candle, it increases magic by 10 points per second, but the player can’t move during this period.
Duration: 3 minutes.
Note: If you’re not afraid of these creepy little flas, go ahead and light it up.
Oh?
A new item, it restores magic points!
The little skeleton let out a clattering laugh, then continued to dig.
…
“Ding!
The Novice Village’s attack has officially begun!”
“The first wave of zombies are launching their attack!
Novice players, defend our ho for the human faction!”
The world channel exploded with activity, yet dozens of novice players within the village were casually laughing and chatting around a group of high-level individuals.
“Haha, Hua Yan, even the level 3 zombies are attacking the village now, but with the two of us here, isn’t it as easy and delightful as cutting through tofu?”
Hua Yan, ranked 56th in personal power, fire elental mage, level 33, elite mber of Righteous and Indomitable.
Hua Yan glanced irritably at the ecstatic Ni Wudao, retorting indifferently, “Quit it, Ni you old dog.
If it weren’t for the monster attacking the village, I’d kill you.”
“Tsk, are you still hung up on snatching that BOSS from you ages ago?
Damn woman, you really hold a grudge!” Ni Wudao spat, lifted a large machete from the ground, pointed it at Hua Yan, and declared disdainfully, “Hua lady, if it weren’t for the monster attacking the village, I could wipe you out with one Jump Cut!”
“Then you try it.” Hua Yan’s pretty face was icy, surrounding her, a sudden rise of intense flas.
“Wow!
The high-level skill, Fire Shield!” The onlooking players gasped, “Truly worthy of Hua Yan, she even comprehended such an epic skill!”
“Or maybe, she’s a pay-to-win player who bought the skill,” one player sneered to a friend.
“Co on, the Fire Shield skill book requires level 38 to learn, and Hua Yan is only level 33!
Clearly, you’re a newbie!”
“I’m so envious, how much awareness and luck do you need for this?”
While players were buzzing about Hua Yan’s ranking, Ni Wudao gulped, looking at Hua Yan who was engulfed in flas.
He quickly turned around and said, “Alright, a real man doesn’t fight with won.
Everyone scatter, the zombie horde is coming.
What are you all hanging around here for?”
The novices understood what was happening, but none of them dared to say anything.
They quickly dispersed, and symbolically surrounded the entrance of Novice Village – the only entrance for the invading zombies.
…
Sowhere far off, the little skeleton was working up quite a sweat, swinging his divine tool – the novice hoe.
“Ding!
Congratulations to player Skeleton on unearthing a piece of dry bone.”
You can dig up dry bones too?
Su Ran hastily examined the properties of the bone in the skeleton’s hand.
[A Piece of Dry Bone](Mysterious)
It appears to conceal sothing.
Oh?
This seems to be a treasure!
Su Ran looked it over from every angle, but nothing seed special.
There must be a hidden aspect!
So, Su Ran started scrupulously scrutinizing the piece of dry bone, not letting a single unusual aspect out of his sight.
Finally, he found sothing – a string of tiny letters was etched into the marrow of the bone.
Squinting, Su Ran began to study them carefully.
“Ding!
Congratulations player Skeleton, for acquiring the Bone Skill – ‘Dark Fla’.”
The dry bone finished its mission and gradually turned into bone powder from Su Ran’s fingertips and disappeared.
Skills!
Hahaha, Su Ran excitedly clenched his fist, invoking the system to examine the properties of the Bone Skill.
[Dark Fla] (Bone Skill) (Passive) (LV1)
Fire magic attack 20%.
Note: Dark fla veins automatically form in all fire magic attacks, enhancing them with Dark Fla energy.
“Damn, my paper-burning attack has evolved!” Su Ran ntally calculated, including the fire attack 1 from burning paper, the actual attack after a 20% increase from the Dark Fla was: (12 1) X1.2 – (16 1) X1.2 =15.6-20.4!
Highest attack is at 20!
This is level 1 skeleton’s attribute, it’s so amazing, wakaka!
Su Ran looked at the constant flow of zombie troops toward Novice Village.
He didn’t have the heart to throw out the wad of burning paper in his hands.
After all, they were comrades in the front line and were going to attack the village together.
Forget it, let’s prepare the zombie troops first, let’s continue digging!
“Ding!
Congratulations player Skeleton for digging up a Rotten Wooden Coffin!
Triggering the plot, a Corpse Soldier crawled out!
Please be careful, player!”
[Corpse Soldier] Level 7
Attack: 10-20
Qi Blood: 200
Defense: 8
Agility: 1
Haha, new troops!
Level 2 mining is aweso, the skills and new troops can be dug up, this ga is too much fun!
With a few digs using the hoe, Su Ran had a feeling that sothing was up, hurriedly and rcilessly dug a few more tis.
“Ding!”
As expected, sothing ca up!
“Congratulations Player for obtaining a special item – Underworld Coin.”
[Underworld Coin] (Currency)
Currency used for trading in the underworld.
Note: Items used by the dead.
Dead…
Su Ran felt as if he had a throbbing vein on his skeletal head.
In the ga, a Skeleton could indeed be called a dead person.
The excitent for Su Ran kept skyrocketing as more and more extraordinary items were dug up.
Thankfully, the newbie hoe in his hand didn’t have durability.
Seizing the opportunity, he began to work towards level 3 of his digging skill.
The hundred graves surrounded by gloom in front of him seed like countless treasures waiting for Su Ran’s excavation.
“Ding!
Congratulations player Skeleton for digging up a special tomb!”
Huh?
Even the type of graves gets declared?
This system is too considerate!
Haha, the little Skeleton’s eyes emitted a blue glow, waving his newbie hoe even more fervently.
What’s going on?
A normal small grave would take only a few hits, but digging this grave almost 5 ters deep still didn’t get to the bottom?
There must be treasure!
Su Ran dug harder and deeper, after digging another two or three ters, finally the long-awaited system voice ca again:
“Ding!
Congratulations player Skeleton for digging up a special coffin!”
Su Ran excitedly stretched his arm over, but before his finger bone could touch the coffin, the coffin automatically opened and a black-robed NPC walked out.
[Black Market Skeleton rchant] Yin Si (Special NPC)
Equipnt recycling and selling.
Note: If you’re from the undead clan, he’s the one to go to for currency transactions.
Be prepared to get ripped off.
“Was it you who awakened ?” The black-robed Skeleton rchant, Yin Si stared intently at the level 1 white Skeleton holding the novice hoe, his bone claws exuding a cold spectral fire.
