As usual, Ye Ci chose to hide her presence.
Suddenly, the word "World" lit up.
"Congratulations to player * * * * for being the first to clear the dungeon" Icy Cave "on Normal Difficulty. Rewards: 10 gold coins and 5000 system prestige points."
"Congratulations to player * * * * for being the first to clear the dungeon" Icy Cave "on Normal Difficulty. Rewards: 10 gold coins and 5000 system prestige points."
… …
"Is she even human?! How long has it been since the game started and someone has already cleared the dungeon?! Are you kidding me?! "
"She's definitely a beta tester!"
"What? There's no beta tester in Fate …"
… …
"Boss, do we need to investigate …"
"She's definitely one of the first to enter the dungeon. It's just a Normal Difficulty dungeon, so there's no need to make a big fuss about it. Get someone to keep an eye on her." A Human Cleric said calmly in the private chat after killing the last monster.
"Little Seven, go and find out who cleared the dungeon." An Orc Warrior ordered through the private chat.
… …
Lukewarm Water scratched his head when he heard the system announcement, "Who could it be? She's already cleared the Normal Difficulty dungeon …" Suddenly, he froze for a moment.
Icy Cave seemed to be located in the Elven Forest. If the information he gathered was correct, it should be near the place where he met Gongzi You.
Could it be …
Lukewarm Water shook his head and thought to himself, "No matter how good her skills are, it's impossible for her to clear the dungeon so quickly. Besides … the system didn't report that she cleared the dungeon with a party. She's a Huntress … It shouldn't be possible.
Just as he was hesitating, the external guild voice chat was in an uproar. It was all because of this matter that people were talking about it.
Since the server had just been released, no guild had been created yet. Therefore, the game's guild voice chat was not available. Most of the large guilds used external voice chat to facilitate communication within the guild.
Lukewarm Water heard the uproar in the guild and was somewhat suspicious. However, he could not say anything because he was not sure.
Compared to the uproar in the guild, the guild leader of Zero Degree Space spoke calmly, "If you have time to talk about this, why don't you guys hurry up and level up? A Normal Difficulty dungeon is nothing. We should strive to clear the Hard and Elite Difficulty dungeons."
Past Feelings rarely spoke in the public channel, but once he did, he immediately attracted the attention of all the players. After chatting for a while, he jumped into the management channel. "Jiu Ye, go and find out who cleared the dungeon. It's best if you can find out which guild he belongs to."
"Yes."
Ye Ci, who was in the Icy Cave, was naturally unaware of the magnificent uproar that such a system announcement had caused in Fate. She frowned as she looked at the items in her hands.
She had thought that she would be able to draw such a heaven-defying passive skill book like Strength Accumulation. From then on, she would walk on the path of being a little lucky. However, it turned out that an unlucky person like her wouldn't get rid of the "Unlucky Hand" aura so easily.
Out of the three BOSSes, other than the two quest items and the three crystals needed to exchange for equipment, she only received two Medium Red Potions, forty silver coins, and a Common Grade Dagger!!
Are you kidding me?
Was there a mistake or not?
This was her first kill! She was doing a solo!
No matter how you looked at it, the chances of getting a Blue equipment were very high!
How did it end up like this? Not only was there no Blue equipment, there wasn't even a Green equipment!
Who had ever heard of a BOSS dropping a White equipment? Who had ever heard of such a thing? This was practically a new record of the game's disgrace.
After sighing a few times, Ye Ci resigned herself to fate and threw the items into her inventory. She looked at the trash that she had picked up along the way and felt two streams of tears running down her face.
Ye Ci left the Icy Cave dejectedly and emptied her inventory at the merchant shop outside the Stony Woodland. Once again, she stepped into the Icy Cave valiantly with high spirits.
An elephant couldn't withstand the gnawing of ants. She didn't believe that she would be so unlucky every time.
As it turned out, Ye Ci's luck was just that bad.
After going back and forth to the Icy Cave seven or eight times, she had already saved up nearly thirty crystals to exchange for equipment. However, there wasn't even a single piece of the Icy Cave's signature equipment, the Icy Cave Series.
Her experience bar, however, was increasing rapidly. In the blink of an eye, she was almost lvl 8.
Ye Ci sat next to Shator's corpse and once again looked at the item in her hand, wanting to cry but no tears came out.
It can't be, could it be that all her luck had been used up by that Strength Accumulation book? Could it be that bad?
She had almost used up all her arrows. There was no point in continuing like this. Ye Ci planned to return to the Newbie Village to replenish her supplies and then come back to take a look.
The crystals that the BOSS dropped could be exchanged for a Green equipment set at the Altar of Mara. This kind of equipment set was slightly worse than the ones dropped in the Instance Dungeon. However, it was much better than the expensive White equipment sold in the shop.
For someone like Ye Ci who had the guts to clear the Instance Dungeon but didn't have the luck to obtain equipment, this Green equipment set was the best choice.
The thirty crystals in her hand were only enough to exchange for one piece of equipment. Ye Ci chose for a long time and finally chose to exchange for a pair of shoes.
Mara Leather Boots: Defense 11 Vitality + 1, Speed + 1
From Ye Ci's point of view, Defense and Vitality didn't matter. That bit of speed was what she yearned for the most. As long as she was fast enough, her attack power and evasion ability would increase by a level.
After changing into the Mara Leather Boots, she took a few steps. It was much more comfortable than the Newbie Shoes. However, the appearance of this pair of shoes was too ordinary. It was no different from the Newbie Shoes.
However, this was also good. At least no one would be able to tell that she was different.
After returning to the Newbie Village, Ye Ci ran towards the Village Elder.
"Ah, it's you, hardworking Huntress. I thought you were eaten by Shator. I didn't expect you to return here unscathed. It seems that the Elf King Dau 'er's halo has always been with us. "The Village Elder couldn't help but sigh meaninglessly.
However, seeing that he had given her a reward, Ye Ci was overjoyed. She smiled and waited for the Village Elder to speak nonsense. She didn't choose to skip it.
She always knew that this kind of side quest's reward wouldn't be bad, but she didn't expect it to be so satisfying.
1 Gold and 1 Talent Point.
Ye Ci wasn't interested in money. Compared to money, that 1 Talent Point was much more valuable.
In Fate, players could learn different Talents after they reached lvl10. The focus of each Talent was different, and the growth that each Talent could bring was also different.
Every player could choose a different Talent. Of course, you could also choose 3 Talents at the same time. As long as you had enough Talent Points, no one would object even if you maxed out all of the Talents.
However …
According to Fate's arrangement, the Talent Points would be automatically allocated to players with every level up. The rest of the Talent Points could only be obtained from certain First Kills or side quests like this.
In other words, with the same level and equipment, the more Talent Points a player had, the more overpowered their stats would be.
This was why Ye Ci was in such a good mood.
The village chief nagged for a while more before releasing the second mission. It was related to the Icy Cavern again. However, the quest this time was to kill the BOSS of the Icy Cavern on Hard Difficulty, Shator.
"Huntress, if you can bring me Shator's head, I'll definitely reward you handsomely." The Village Elder's lips curled into a smile. He then called Ye Ci over and whispered into her ear, "But you can't tell Patrol Officer Tony that you killed Shator."
Ye Ci raised her eyebrows. This seemingly simple and honest Village Elder was actually not an honest person. It seemed that he wanted Shator's head to Tony to claim credit for it.
Since you're so heartless, don't blame me for being unjust.
For Ye Ci, it would be a waste of her conscience if she didn't take advantage of this fat pig that had delivered itself to her doorstep. The corners of her eyes curled up as she smiled. "Of course, of course, Lord Village Chief, I will naturally do as you say. It's just that …" She paused for a moment and did not continue.
She believed that someone as cunning as him would understand her meaning.
As expected, the Village Elder nodded, "Of course." Then, Ye Ci saw a skill book appear in her hand, "If you can bring me Shator's head and keep your mouth shut …"
The village chief mimicked Ye Ci's actions and paused for a moment, as if he had not had enough of the story.
Ye Ci quickly looked at the book in her hand.
Fire Arrow: Can create arrows with fire attack power. Requirement: Intermediate Arrow Crafting Skill.
Ye Ci raised her eyebrows. This book was good stuff, but she didn't know how to craft arrows. Wouldn't this book be useless?
Seeing Ye Ci's dissatisfaction, the Village Elder said unhurriedly, "Young Huntress, there will be bread as long as you have enough wheat."
So that's how it is …
Ye Ci couldn't help but secretly spit. This Village Elder was a complete sly old fox! He actually dangled a carrot in front of her that she couldn't eat. Did he think she was a donkey?
But for that one Talent Point, this kind of donkey was still a must.
Thus, the two unscrupulous businessmen with their own ulterior motives happily made a deal, smiling brightly like peach blossoms.
Icy Cave on Hard Mode was not a place that Ye Ci could solo by herself. She took a look at the time. It was almost 9 pm. Without hesitation, she walked to a secluded place in the newbie village and went offline.
After casually eating a mouthful of food, she received a call from her parents. They asked her a lot of questions and gave her a lot of instructions, as if they were afraid that Ye Ci would starve herself to death.
After hanging up with her parents with great difficulty, Liu Chang called her again.
The two of them exchanged a few words. Without waiting for Ye Ci to ask, Liu Chang already couldn't wait to show off to Ye Ci, "Let me tell you! My Werewolf Summoner is already level 3! Did you know? My leveling speed is really amazing! Let me tell you, Little Ci, I have a few people in my party. Right now, they are killing poisonous spiders in the Black Forest! If anyone bullies you in the future, just tell them my name. Little Wolf, big sister will protect you! "
