Zol spotted Ye Ci at first glance. Ye Ci had achieved a few First Bloods and triggered a side quest. Her reputation in the village was increasing day by day, and the NPCs in the village were all very friendly to her. Even Zol, who was usually reluctant to talk to other players, spoke to Ye Ci with a gentle tone.
"Oh, young Huntress, it's gratifying to see that you've grown again. I'm sure the Elven King Dau 'er will be very happy that a Huntress with such potential like you was born into the Elven race." This was probably the first time Zol had spoken so much since the game started.
If it were not for the fact that the conversations between the NPCs and the players could not be heard by other players, Zol's long string of words would have attracted the admiration of the other players in the room.
"Greetings, I'd like to learn a new skill." Ye Ci bowed to Zol to show her respect.
Regardless of what you think, it's best not to offend these NPCs if you can help it.
"Let me see what skills you can learn now." Zol spread out his hands and closed his eyes. A blue fluorescent light immediately appeared on his palms. After a moment, he opened his eyes and looked at Ye Ci, "Oh, I see. The skills you can learn now are Pet Taming, Snake Venom Stinger, and Falcon Protection. Of course, Slash and Bow Proficiency can also be leveled up. Which skills do you want to learn?"
"Every skill."
"Is that so?" Zol raised an eyebrow. Learning skills in Fate required some money. Although the money was nothing compared to the sky-high prices in the later stages of the game, it was still very expensive in the early stages of the game.
Learning these skills would cost 50 silver coins, and players in the early stages of the game would not have more than 2 gold coins on them. Learning all of these skills would be an inconceivable luxury.
Ye Ci handed over 2 gold coins and 50 silver coins. Zol did not hesitate and immediately accepted the money. Then, a golden light flashed across Ye Ci's body. The system notified her that she had learned Pet Rearing, Snake Venom Spike, and Falcon's Protection. Her Chop and Bow Proficiency had also reached Level 2.
"Young hunter, you really have the demeanor of our Elf Clan. You are unrestrained and unrestrained. I am very happy to see such an outstanding child among my descendants. If you can bring back a hundred wild wolf eyeballs for me in the Wolf Valley, I think I will give you a small gift."
After Zora taught Ye Ci the skill, she did not let her leave immediately. Instead, she gave her a quest.
"I'm very honored." Ye Ci hurriedly bowed and accepted the mission. As she bowed, she could not help but think that it was another hidden mission. Could it be that all her luck had been eaten up by this Hidden Quest?
According to her plan, Ye Ci wanted to explore the difficult Icy Cave and see if she could solo it. If she was lucky, she might even be able to catch an Elite Spider as her pet.
However, before she met Zol, Ye Ci would never have thought that she would receive a Hidden Quest here. Moreover, Hidden Quests were not difficult to complete. After leaving Zol's room and standing under the sunlight, Ye Ci opened the quest interface. She wanted to see what the reward of this Hidden Quest was, if only she could see it …
What was unexpected was that unlike other hidden missions where the rewards were shown as question marks, this hidden mission released by Zora actually allowed players to see the rewards.
Quest: 100 wild wolf eyeballs.
Quest Description: …
Quest Reward: Hunter's Mark Skill Book.
Ye Ci was so happy that she almost jumped up when she saw the quest reward.
Just like Pet Rearing, Hunter's Mark was a Hunter's signature skill. During battle, the Hunter's Mark would leave a mark that only the Hunter's party could see. The mark lasted for 15 minutes. As the skill's level increased, the Hunter's Mark could increase ranged damage by 15%.
This was a godly skill that could be used to kill enemies and raid dungeons. Of course, if every Hunter had this skill, the entire Fate would be crawling with Hunters.
As mentioned before, Fate was a shameless game, and Glory was a shameless company.
If they could design such a godly skill, they would not let everyone have it … Why?
Because of balance.
In fact, in Fate, every class' skills could be leveled up by different Skill Masters. Look carefully, it was leveling up, not learning.
In other words, in Fate, any player could see those gorgeous, godly and insane skills from the Skill Masters, but … they were only responsible for leveling up. What did leveling up mean? Leveling up meant that the player had to learn …
What was the way to learn a skill? There were two ways. One, skill books. Two, mysterious NPCs that had never been heard of or seen before …
There was no need to consider the second way because no one knew if it was real or not. As for the first way, it was more realistic.
There were only two ways for a skill book to appear, either by an NPC or by killing monsters.
It was easy to say, but the probability of it happening was very confusing.
Take the Hunter's Mark for example. She had never heard of an NPC giving this skill book, and the probability of getting it from a monster was … 1/10,000 of defeating the final BOSS of a lvl 40 dungeon.
Ahem, 1/10,000 did not mean that the skill book would appear after ten thousand kills.
With such a godly skill book and such a high drop rate, how could Ye Ci not be overjoyed?
Icy Cavern, Forest of Stone, none of them were worth going to! Right now, her target was the Wolf Valley!
After clearing the dungeon a few times, Ye Ci had accumulated quite a lot of equipment. She first sent Gleaming Sunshine and Leftie (Dong Yin and Yi Cang) two sets of Blue Chainmail. She then went to the grocery store and sold all the Blue Chainmail that she did not need to the store, earning nearly 2 gold coins.
Of course, if she sold these equipment at a street stall, she would earn more than that. However, Ye Ci did not want to do that. If she sold these Blue Chainmail, it would be like announcing to others that she had cleared the dungeon many times. Although it was just a small dungeon, if she was targeted by busybodies, who knew what kind of trouble she would get into.
Secondly, even if she could earn a few gold coins from selling these small items, it would be a waste of time.
Most importantly, Ye Ci wanted to leave the Newbie Village and go to the city. There was an auction house there, which was much more convenient than setting up a street stall.
After finding a blacksmith to repair her equipment, Ye Ci rushed to the fork in the road.
As she walked, a strange thought flashed through her mind. Could it be that the group of people fighting had not dispersed yet?
Indeed, they had not dispersed.
However, it was not as intense as before. Less than 30% of the newbie players were still fighting against Spring Rain Guild. Spring Rain Guild, which had been very arrogant earlier, was now in a mess. It seemed that they would disperse soon.
Ye Ci wanted to bypass the chaotic battle and go to Wolf Valley, but things were not going so smoothly.
Suddenly, a figure stood up beside her. Ye Ci subconsciously dodged to the side. She looked up. Wasn't that Everyday Meat, who had been spawn camped? It seemed that he had respawned here because he was standing in a very secluded spot.
He wasn't a red-named player, and he wasn't level 10 yet. He was protected by the newbie protection, so he wouldn't drop any equipment when he died. But … even so, his corpse had been camped for nearly an hour. It was a terrible thing.
Furthermore, the pain threshold in Fate could only be adjusted to 30%. After dying so many times, Everyday Meat would probably die from the pain even if he did not go crazy.
"It's you! You're the one who killed me! " Everyday Meat saw Ye Ci standing less than 3 meters away from him the moment he respawned. His eyes burned with anger, and he reached out to grab Ye Ci.
Ye Ci was puzzled. She had already acted as if it was none of her business. Why was she here again?
She raised her hand and slapped Everyday Meat's hand away, and said coldly, "Look carefully before you speak!"
"I didn't!" Everyday Meat did not waste his breath. Taking advantage of his secluded spot, he pulled out his staff and threw it at Ye Ci.
Ye Ci threw a fireball at him.
Ye Ci nimbly dodged to the side, and the fireball brushed past her arm. An arrow pierced Everyday Meat's back, and he immediately prostrated himself on the ground.
Looking at Everyday Meat who was prostrating himself on the ground, Ye Ci was certain that he would not dare to run back to his corpse, and would only stay there and wait. Ye Ci's lips curled into a smirk. She crouched down and looked at Everyday Meat's corpse with a hint of schadenfreude, "I told you, it wasn't me, right?"
Ye Ci stood up and clapped her hands. She lowered her head and said to the corpse, "I'm leaving. It's really none of my business." She then stepped over Everyday Meat's corpse and left. Up Everyday, who was lying prone on the ground, was so angry that he vomited blood. He yelled in the guild channel, demanding the culprit behind this incident be found.
The Wild Wolf Valley was indeed overcrowded.
There were originally many wolves here, but it seemed that the wolves had become the underdog.
Ye Ci sniffled. Heavens, it seems that the 100 eyeballs are a difficult quest to complete.
However, for the sake of the Hunter's Mark, I'll go all out.
Ye Ci climbed up a tree and climbed along the walls of Wolf Valley. Relying on her balance, it did not take long for her to reach a flat area halfway up the mountain.
Ye Ci's original intention was to observe the terrain of the Wild Wolf Valley from a high vantage point, but she did not expect that there were only 20 to 30 Wild Wolves scattered about on the flat slope halfway up the mountain. More importantly, there was no one attacking them!
Oh, no. She took a closer look and saw a person waving his weapon in the northwest corner of the flat area, sweating profusely.
