Chapter 313 - 319: All Preparations Complete
Hang Yu’s current attributes are: Level 10 Combat Professional, Life Energy 115, Spiritual Power 78... Spiritual Qi 4/8000, Green Essence 0%.
Life Energy +14!
Spiritual Power +7!
This level-up brings a greater increase!
The Spiritual Qi required to level up to level 10 remains eight thousand.
It’s exactly the same as before, but the difference lies in the addition of Green Essence.
From level 10, the difficulty and conditions for leveling up will gradually increase. This so-called Green Essence is extracted from the Green Spiritual Qi you acquire.
In other words.
To level up again.
Relying solely on ordinary Spiritual Qi is not enough.
You also need to find a way to acquire Green Spiritual Qi.
This undoubtedly increases the difficulty of leveling up, enough to trap most people at this stage.
Level 10 serves as a threshold; future level-ups will become increasingly difficult and cannot be achieved just by grinding small monsters.
Of course.
The difficulty of leveling up is increasing.
The effects after leveling up are also becoming better and better.
Jiang Nan immediately said, "Congratulations, Great God, for being the first to break through to level 10."
"Thank you, you all need to work hard too, we can’t be outdone by those Americans!" Hang Yu didn’t show much excitement because everything was happening naturally; he waved his hand and commanded, "Alright, let’s make the most of our time and try to beat more monsters."
"Yes!"
Once the level increased.
Hang Yu’s strength and speed significantly improved.
Under Hang Yu’s leadership, they enjoyed defeating the Stone Wolf Beasts even more.
These dangerous Elite Monsters became mere points givers in their hands.
"Awooooo——!"
Suddenly.
A deep and dangerous roar echoed from the depths of the valley.
Zhao Ming paused and said, "Such a strong aura, it must be a Lord."
Hang Yu activated his Eagle Eye skill for reconnaissance: "Yes, we’re in luck, it’s the Stone Wolf Beast Lord."
As a level 10 Silver Lord Monster,
the Stone Wolf Beast Lord is larger, its body dark red with bright molten-like streaks flowing across, and compared to the ordinary Stone Wolf Beast, not only are its various skills stronger, but it also boasts a powerful fire attribute attack.
Xiaoqiang said, "This guy looks strong, and there are about ten Elites nearby. I saw at least three to four Golden Elites, it seems a bit tricky."
"No problem," Hang Yu was indifferent, "I and Bai will handle the Stone Wolf Beast Lord. You handle the Elite Monsters and try to prevent them from disturbing me and Bai. Can you do that?"
Zhao Ming laughed heartily: "Leave it to us!"
This battle went down with only thrills but no real danger.
Zhang Xiaoqiang excitedly said, "Hahaha, I didn’t expect that we’re now so badass, facing a Lord we can directly take it on without fear."
Jiang Nan felt very much the same.
Though it’s also a Silver Lord Monster.
Dealing with the Mad Magical Potion Master back then wasn’t like this.
Everyone can genuinely feel their and their team’s strength gradually increasing!
This change is inseparable from the Great God’s leadership, Jiang Nan looked at the figure in front, and thought that now she is already the Great God’s direct confidant, filled with a sense of security and reassurance.
Collecting the loot.
This time, a total of three Green Quality items dropped.
They are: "Molten Rock Wolf Set Blueprint", "Molten Rock Wolf Battle Shield", "Molten Rock Wolf Transformation Magical Potion".
Jiang Nan frowned regrettably: "No Skill Stone dropped."
However, Hang Yu said: "Getting this blueprint is already enough."
Hang Yu chose Spirit Realm Wolf Valley to grind.
Apart from it being a good leveling spot.
The big motivation and reason is for the set.
There are two types of sets that can be acquired here.
The first is the ordinary Stone Wolf Set. This is a White Quality set, mainly increases strength and constitution, randomly drops from monsters in Spirit Realm Wolf Valley, the stronger the monster, the higher the drop rate.
The second is the Molten Rock Wolf Set. This is a Green Quality set, increasing agility, strength, constitution, having three attributes, is a very excellent and powerful combat profession set.
But compared to ordinary sets,
the Molten Rock Wolf Set does not drop directly.
Only by killing the Lord Monster here, there’s a certain probability that the refining blueprint will drop from the lord. Collecting materials to craft it yourself is needed, which is more troublesome.
Although the Stone Wolf Beast Lord can drop the blueprint.
The drop rate of the blueprint is not one hundred percent.
But who let his equipment get despised by others?
Hang Yu is also someone who does not concede easily. Although the drop probability is only around twenty to thirty percent, he came to try his luck anyway, not expecting it to actually drop.
Great.
There’s a Molten Rock Wolf Set!
The ordinary Stone Wolf Set is just trash!
Hang Yu only took the refining blueprint and the materials he can use.
Most materials for the Molten Rock Wolf Set can be obtained in Spirit Realm Wolf Valley. After grinding for one day, various support materials are basically complete, lacking only the main materials, which he will have to find a way to get later.
Hang Yu noticed that in his personal attributes, his Spiritual Qi increased by nearly two hundred points, Green Essence rose from 0% to 0.9%, due to acquiring Green Spiritual Qi from killing the Lord Monster.
This growth rate is way too slow!
More hours spent farming monsters.
Two pieces of news arrived consecutively.
The first is that the Frenzy Qi Burst Skill Stone Hang Yu wanted has been found.
The second is that the materials required for crafting the Blue Weapon Earth Dragon Fluctuation Spear for Hang Yu have also been sourced.
It was getting late by then.
Hang Yu decided to call it a day and return to the cave stronghold.
A burly man like a bear, grinning with flattery, presented a Second Tier White Skill Stone: "Hehe, Boss Hang, here’s the Frenzy Qi Burst Skill Stone you were looking for!"
The other person was none other than the Spirit Realm merchant Old Bear.
Xiong Wanjun was only level 6 at that point.
To facilitate trading, he remained neutral, not joining any team, and only passed through the World Tower with his team yesterday.
Although Old Bear was quite weak in strength,
he had made quite a name for himself over time.
Anyone leaving the Wild Boarman camp who had extra equipment or items, or urgently needed something, would first think of Old Bear, whose trading network often didn’t disappoint.
"Impressive, indeed. No wonder you’re the most outstanding merchant in our camp. What’s your price?"
Hang Yu had quite the fortune on hand.
With a restaurant, bar, and pharmacy in the real world,
he now averaged at least five thousand White Crystal in daily revenue,
which translates to about five hundred Green Crystal, and it continues to grow at an impressive rate.
A mere Second Tier White Skill Stone?
Boss Hang wasn’t too concerned!
This Skill Stone had to be bought; Frenzy Qi Burst is a major AoE attack skill for Berserkers, and its destructiveness is considerable.
Moreover, this was the only skill Hang Yu lacked.
He would then have the complete Second Tier Berserker legacy.
Old Bear’s asking price was the Rapid Shadow Spear Hang Yu had swapped out but hadn’t yet sold, plus one hundred White Crystal Stones.
The Rapid Shadow Spear is a level 5 Green Weapon, outdated for Hang Yu but still decent equipment for many.
The Rapid Shadow Spear had paid the Spirit Realm Tax.
Got to say, Old Bear was pretty shrewd.
But considering the Rapid Shadow Spear had little durability left and its value was diminished, Hang Yu didn’t refuse and agreed to Old Bear’s terms for exchange.
"Pleasure doing business!"
Hang Yu immediately used the Frenzy Qi Burst Skill Stone after obtaining it.
The Frenzy Qi Burst skill gathers Life Energy and a small amount of Spiritual Power to create an explosive impact around the body, attacking targets within the area and damaging them as they’re blasted away.
The advantages of this skill were clear.
It consumes little Spiritual Power, yet is a rare AoE attack skill for early-stage Combat Professionals, and its destructiveness is impressive. The powerful impact has a knock-back effect, with only a ten-second cooldown.
Its drawbacks are also apparent.
The skill drains Life Energy.
It’s a skill with typical Berserker traits.
Currently, Hang Yu had no Spiritual Qi left; his Bloodthirsty Frenzy was only level 2, and Mad Charge and Frenzy Qi Burst were level 1, so he couldn’t activate the Berserker legacy yet.
Next up were the materials.
Hang Yu was already level 10.
So crafting the Blue Weapon Earth Dragon Fluctuation Spear had to be done.
If he couldn’t get the materials through regular means, Hang Yu would have to ask Xu Tianhua to reach out to the Celestial Net top brass and the military for help. He believed he could find what he needed that way, but he’d owe them a favor, which would be tricky to repay in the future.
Hang Yu followed a principle.
If something can be resolved materially, best avoid owing favors.
While Blue Quality materials are extremely rare for ordinary forces, they are stocked by high-level powers like the New York Spirit Sword Bureau.
Diana Joe arrived as the Spirit Sword Bureau’s representative to negotiate: "Dear Hang, we have all the materials you need, but Blue Quality materials are expensive. You’re asking for four pieces, so be prepared for the cost."
Keeping his cool, Hang Yu replied, "Rest assured, Miss Diana, I’m well aware of the value of Blue materials, so I won’t refuse as long as the price is reasonable."
After a bout of haggling,
the deal closed at four hundred and fifty Green Crystals.
Diana was both curious and amazed by Hang Yu.
Reports said neither Huaxia’s Celestial Net nor any other Spirit Realm strategic departments, nor global grassroots organizations like the Spirit Relief Association had anyone like Hang Yu.
He wasn’t affiliated with any major power.
Yet he was so wealthy!
Capable of freely forking out four hundred and fifty Green Crystals at once!
Although Diana didn’t know what he intended to do with these materials, the price was enticing enough that they promptly sent someone to retrieve the materials and completed the trade with Hang Yu.
Mission accomplished!
Hang Yu controlled his excitement with much effort!
If these Americans knew what Hang Yu intended to forge a super-strong Blue Weapon with these materials right away, they wouldn’t have sold them to him!
"Bai, Er Gou, let’s go home!"
"Goodbye everyone!"
With a few parting words,
Hang Yu hurriedly logged off and left.
