The reason why his skill was lagging wasn't because of the game.
It was because he didn't expect this ordinary-looking dog to join the battle midway.
Wait.
That wasn't the main point.
What the hell was this "Heavenly Emperor Wang"?
NPCs in the game world could form teams too?
Could it be a cliché setting like "The hero recruits partners to defeat the demon king"?
Irin didn't have time to think.
It was his turn, and the 30-second countdown was about to end.
Irin decisively clicked "Yes" and let this strange dog join the battle.
Heavenly Emperor Wang sneered.
The moment Yi Lin chose to team up with the dog, the dog suddenly dashed out, broke through the circle of light, and stood beside Yi Lin.
Clang, clang, clang!
The sound of grinding metal came from the dog's paws.
Irin took a closer look and found that the dog was wearing a pair of "grappling claws".
Irin was quite familiar with this design.
Irin also had one in his bag.
It was clearly the "Beginner's Grappling Claws"!
This dog … was an adventurer!
Irin instantly felt that the setting of this game world was a bit ridiculous.
How could a dog be an adventurer?
Wasn't it good to be a demon with a bright future?
After Heavenly Emperor Wang equipped the grappling claws, Irin's countdown was about to end.
He thought for a moment. Since Heavenly Emperor Wang had joined the fray, it was now a 2v2 situation with the small monsters. Yi Lin was even less anxious, so he did not use any skills. He coolly and calmly jumped over with a normal attack.
[Irin dealt heavy damage to Slime A!]
"Oh?"
Irin's knife had just stabbed into Slime A's sticky gel and didn't have time to deal any damage.
Instead, the battle notification popped up first.
【-8！】
Irin: "…"
[Slime A is still alive and kicking.]
It was Heavenly Emperor Wang's turn.
The corners of Sun Gou 'zi's mouth curled up. Then, with a flash of his body, he dashed out.
Dong!
Heavenly Emperor Wang's movements were extremely smooth. With a "Rising Dragon Claw", he slapped Slime B into the air …
At that moment, the strong impact caused Irin's UI to shake.
[Heavenly Emperor Wang has dealt heavy damage to Slime B!]
【-22！】
[Slime B has died.]
Irin: "…"
Irin suddenly fell silent.
He realized that his damage output was actually lower than a dog's …
Irin could tell from the weapons in the Starter series that the "attack power" of each weapon was different.
Ignoring the order in the middle, the highest attack on the interface was "two-handed sword", while the lowest was "dagger".
The attack power of Grappling Claw was definitely much higher than Irin's dagger.
But this damage output … was ridiculous.
Irin's eyes twitched.
In the blink of an eye, Slime A, who had been whipped by Irin, reacted and angrily charged at Irin.
The sticky gel was all over Irin's face.
Dong!
【-9】
A number popped up on top of Irin's head.
It was Irin's turn again.
Irin wiped the sticky gel off his face and was about to whip it back angrily.
But at that moment.
Irin realized that the pain on his face had mysteriously disappeared.
At the same time, another number popped up on top of his head.
【+13】
His HP recovered?
Irin's expression was slightly stunned.
He looked at the battle interface again. It seemed that he did not have any strange HP recovery buff on him.
While Irin was thinking, he did not delay his damage output and decisively stabbed it back.
…
【-56！】
[Congratulations, you've defeated Slime A and Slime B!]
[Received Gold Coins + 5G!]
[Received Experience + 48!]
[Received 'Sticky Sap'!]
With Heavenly Emperor Wang's help, the two LV1 Slime monsters did not cause much trouble and ended the battle easily.
Irin did not take any damage other than a little bit of sap on his face.
His HP had mysteriously recovered to full.
After the circle of light disappeared.
The dog teammate named "Heavenly Emperor Wang" proudly put away its fighting claws, used its tongue to smooth out its slightly messy fur, and squatted on the ground.
"Why did my HP recover?"
Irin subconsciously picked at the dead skin on his head.
"Could it be a newbie benefit?"
Irin secretly glanced at Heavenly Emperor Wang. In the battle just now, Heavenly Emperor Wang did not take any damage, so Irin could not come to a conclusion.
They were now in team mode.
Because they were teammates, Irin could also see Heavenly Emperor Wang's HP bar.
Heavenly Emperor Wang's HP bar was very long, more than 300, which was one-third higher than Irin's.
Irin kept feeling that this game was not right.
His experience after leaving the city, whether it was the turn-based system or this dog, made Irin feel that something was wrong.
After thinking for a moment.
Irin decided to put his doubts aside for now.
He would farm monsters first.
"Dog teammate, let's go!"
Dog: "…"
As Irin spoke, he casually took a few steps forward and stabbed another Slime.
Twenty minutes later.
Above Irin's and Heavenly Emperor Wang's heads, a golden light descended from the sky. The special effect was very cool.
Ding!
[Congratulations, you have leveled up!]
[You have leveled up to Level 2!]
[You have received 'God's Bestowment Point'!]
Perhaps it was because he had already gained a lot of EXP before he formed a team with Irin. A few minutes ago, a golden light shone from his head earlier than Irin.
"As expected, the game cannot be separated from leveling up and adding points. This is very traditional."
It was unknown whether it was the thrill of leveling up or the special effect of the Golden Light. Irin felt happy and could not help but laugh out loud.
Dog hugged his front legs, the corner of his mouth crooked, revealing his dog teeth. He looked very charming.
Irin did not care about the emotions expressed by Dog's expression. He used his fastest speed to leave the grassy area and came to the road.
After the dog had been grinding non-stop for twenty minutes, Wang Tiandi was also a little tired. Seeing that Yi Lin had come to an area without monsters by the roadside, he wagged his tail and eagerly followed, squatting beside Yi Lin.
Irin did not care about Dog.
He directly opened the [God's Gift] panel that he had obtained after changing his occupation.
After obtaining the [God's Gift Point], which was equivalent to a skill point, Irin's dark panel finally lit up.
There were three paths on the [God's Gift] panel for the Assassin occupation.
Irin took a look. It seemed to be divided according to the weapon.
Of course, Irin was an Assassin, but there was no restriction on the type of weapon that he could equip.
But from the [God's Gift] panel, it could be seen that if he did not equip the type of weapon that he was good at, there would be no buffs. It was not worth it.
The three types of weapons that Assassins could equip were: One-handed Sword, Boomerang, and Dagger.
"Boomerang? They don't sell it in the weapon shop … Is it a weapon that is harder to get? "
Irin thought to himself.
But he could not explore it because he had no choice.
One-handed Sword was definitely out of the question. He felt that he was not good at using this type of weapon.
Dagger was more convenient to use. He did not know why.
And a kind Assassin holding a one-handed sword … What was the difference between him and a warrior?
Could it be that there was an assassin carrying a sword and going in and out of a group of monsters?
Irin felt that this setting was very strange.
Irin tapped on it with his finger.
A hexagonal square suddenly lit up.
[God's Gift Point -1]
[Heart rate + 1% when equipping Dagger]
As the [God's Gift] lit up, Irin felt a warm current enter his body.
He felt that he had become stronger.
This should not be an illusion.
Although Irin was very clear that this 1% increase in probability was better than nothing, this dimming [God's Gift] panel should be able to be increased.
"No wonder the basic attack of Dagger is so low. So it is on the path of high Critical Hit?"
Irin understood the mechanism of this game world more and more.
Then he looked at the items that Slime dropped in [Tools] …
Forget it.
Irin's expression was indifferent as he quickly closed the panel.
He really should not have fantasized about the items dropped by a LV1 monster.
Irin called Wang Tiandi, who was stroking his fur, and once again charged into the bushes.
One man and one dog, in the circle of Magic Beasts in the Labu Basin, stirred up a storm of blood and left behind various legends.
Four hours later.
The setting sun left only a ray of light on the mountain peak in the distance.
The sky also darkened.
There was still not a trace of cloud in the gray sky.
[Congratulations, you have leveled up!]
[You have leveled up to LV6!]
[Received 'God's Gift Point'!]
A ray of golden light landed on Irin's head.
"Finally …"
Irin let out a long sigh of relief.
After farming for a long time, he finally reached LV6.
Irin skillfully opened the [God's Gift] panel, pondered over each God's Gift branch for a moment, and then tapped on it.
On the [God's Gift] panel, there was a data that counted the [God's Gift] buffs that Irin had received so far.
Irin did not dare to mess around with the [God's Gift Points] from LV2 to LV6. He made a reasonable choice according to the path that he had in mind.
[Heart Rate + 1% when Dagger is equipped]
[Spirit + 0.1]
[Agility + 0.2]
[Poisoned Dagger]
[Critical Damage + 5%]
Among them.
[Poisoned Dagger] seemed to be a very ordinary skill.
…
[Poisoned Dagger]
[Type] Active, Throw, Battle, Map, Sustain
[Consumption] 15 Crystal Energy
[Effect] Used on any target within 100 meters, inflicting a "Poisoned" status, lasting for 4 rounds.
…
This skill seemed to be very different from the innate skill that he had.
However, the advantage was that it could be used in a "non-combat state", consumed less mana, and was a long-range skill. It could be considered as making up for Irin's lack of damage output methods.
After all, Irin's innate skill, [Annihilation Grip], consumed too much mana and could only be used a few times.
In the process of farming monsters and leveling up, Irin had many new discoveries about the game mechanism.
First of all, the assassin's panel damage seemed to be affected by the "Agility" attribute, and the calculation formula was extremely complicated. It was not a simple addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. The damage value also had a certain fluctuation, affected by the monster's defense and level. Under the current conditions, it was difficult to calculate the specific damage formula through reverse deduction.
Irin could only roughly guess that for an assassin, the damage he could cause was mostly related to his level and agility.
Although Yi Lin didn't understand why a kind assassin like him would have a "Spirit" attribute on the God's Bestowment Panel, he still clicked on it for some strange reason. However, after clicking on the [Spirit + 0.1] God's Gift, Irin discovered that his Crystal Energy value had actually increased to 285.
In other words, every 0.1 spirit attribute would increase 30 Crystal Energy value.
And every time he leveled up, his HP would increase by 20 points.
Of course, this was Irin.
Irin silently looked at the HP of his "dog teammate". It was also LV6, but it had increased by as much as 250.
What a 250.
"This dog's class should be a strength bonus. Every 0.1 strength gives 30 extra HP? High attack, high HP, and slow movement type? "
The sky darkened.
Irin did not rush to Isita Port. Instead, he chose to stay near Rab Town.
Now that Irin was LV6, the highest level monster around Rab Town was only LV6.
When a character's level was higher than a monster's level, the experience gained from killing monsters would obviously decrease. Therefore, Irin spent a lot of time leveling up from LV6 to LV6.
"It's time to go to the next area."
"It's not worth it to stay here any longer."
"But before that …"
Irin lowered his head and looked at the dagger in his hand, which was already chipped.
The Beginner's Dagger's durability had already dropped to the lowest.
Thinking of his next move, the corners of Yi Lin's mouth couldn't help but reveal a kind smile.
"Hello boss, I'm here to turn in the mission."
"This is indeed the batch of goods I lost, but …"
"But what?"
The middle-aged weapon dealer frowned and raised one of the Beginner's Daggers. He asked in confusion, "Why is this dagger in such a state?"
Irin opened his hand with an innocent expression. "I don't know. When I found this batch of goods, it was already like this. "
"Fine."
The weapon dealer nodded helplessly.
"Bah."
Wang Tiandi pressed down his ears with his paws and covered them tightly.
Why did it always have the illusion that it had heard this kind of nonsense before?
He did not know this treacherous human before.
…
[Completed Side Mission: The Trouble of the Weapon Dealer in Rab Town!]
[Received + 1500G]
[Received EXP + 3000G]
…
As the side mission was completed.
Ding!
Ding!
Accompanied by two crisp and pleasant tinkling sounds, two rays of golden light descended from the sky one after the other and landed on Yi Lin's head.
He had leveled up twice in a row!
No wonder so many people in MMOs were obsessed with leveling up by killing monsters.
This feeling of suddenly becoming stronger was really good.
Irin was in a good mood. He ignored Sun Qi's slightly disdainful look and opened the stats panel.
…
[Character] Irin
[Gender] Male
[Age] 18
[Level] 8
[Experience] 872144 (4%)
[Profession] Assassin
[Health] 266266
[Crystal Energy] 285285
[Strength] 4.2
[Agility] 5.0 (+ 0.2)
[Spirit] 8.5 (+ 0.1)
[Willpower] 8.0
[Luck] 2.6
[Charm] 1.4
[Talent Skills]: Calamity Entanglement, Shadow Stalker, Shadow Kill, Annihilation Grip, Summon Mount – Nightmare
[God Bestowed Skill] Poisoned Dagger
…
After leveling up twice, Irin's health increased by 40 points. He was much safer.
Although it was not comparable to Wang Tiandi's health.
But the constitution of a human and a dog could not be compared.
Irin had now calculated the rules of the experience required to level up.
Actually, there was nothing special about it.
Starting from Level 1 to Level 2, 1,000 EXP was required. Each level increased by 10% of the previous level.
"If this is the case …"
Irin did some simple calculations in his head, then shook his head helplessly. "It seems like leveling up is fast, but according to this trend, the experience required to level up later will be astronomical. Level 99 will probably require more than 8 million experience. Is this the mechanism to forcefully extend the lifespan of the game? Speaking of which, what was wrong with me before I lost my memory? Why did I come here to play such a stupid turn-based game? "
I deserve to be trapped in this game.
[Please choose your additional reward.]
At the same time, Yi Lin had also obtained two God's Bestowment Points.
He did not have time to deal with this at the moment. He had to harvest all the wool first.
"I choose the Beginner's One-Handed Sword."
Ding!
[Congratulations, you have received the Beginner's One-Handed Sword x1!]
Although the weapon dealer was bitter and puzzled, he still had to give what he should. After all, it was a mission.
But when the weapons dealer carried the pile of weapons and was about to put them back on the shelf, Yi Lin said slowly in a kind tone, "May I ask if you're going to continue selling that tattered dagger?"
The weapon dealer waved his hand. After the side mission ended, there was no other relationship between him and Irin. He sounded a little impatient.
"It's okay. I'll get Blacksmith Glang to fix it later."
"Oh …" Irin suddenly understood. He muttered to himself loudly, "So you plan to sell a second-hand item as a brand new one?"
The weapon dealer froze.
Irin continued muttering to himself and turned to leave. "I heard that the Wilma Merchant Guild values credibility the most. If other people knew that a weapon dealer from Rab Town would sell a broken dagger as a brand new one after repairing it, what would the other customers think? Well, I think maybe, maybe, maybe, they won't mind. "
The weapon dealer was speechless.
A few minutes later.
Irin bought back the broken dagger at a high price of 1 Gold.
He also sold the Beginner's One-Handed Sword back to the weapon dealer at half price.
Before he left, the weapon dealer frowned and cried to express his gratitude, excitement, and joy to Irin.
Wang Tiandi followed Irin from afar and looked around.
It seemed to be saying, 'I don't f * cking know this shameless human.'
"So, other than stealing weapons from weapon dealers, there's also a way to get a novice weapon from a blacksmith's shop … Right, did you get your combat claws from the blacksmith's shop as well?"
Yi Lin turned around and was just about to ask this strange dog about its behavior.
However, when Irin turned around, he saw that the dog had mysteriously moved more than ten meters away from him. Its head was swinging back and forth as if it was having a seizure. Yi Lin could not help but type a question mark.
“？”
Wang Tiandi rolled its eyes.
Irin hurried to the blacksmith's shop before it closed.
The blacksmith's shop was located in a corner of Rab Town.
Black smoke billowed from the chimney, and the air was filled with the pungent smell of smoke.
The door of the blacksmith's shop was ajar, and the shelves next to the door were filled with weapon embryos of various shapes and sizes. Irin glanced at them and found that none of them had been sharpened. They could not be used to fight monsters. Even if he tried to steal them, they would not be of any use. They were all half-finished products.
Steam gushed out from the crack in the door, accompanied by a blazing hot aura that assaulted his face.
"Is anyone here?"
Irin asked as he pushed the door open and walked in.
The door was not closed anyway.
It was dim inside the shop.
Only a steam furnace was burning. It was the only source of light in the enclosed space.
The room was even hotter. Irin felt hot all over as soon as he walked in, and his back was wet.
The dog was even more direct. It ran out without saying anything and squatted by the door, sticking out its tongue to dissipate the heat.
"What's the matter?"
In front of the steam furnace, a bare-chested, muscular middle-aged blacksmith was holding a big hammer and smashing the red weapon embryo. Irin's gaze froze. Just by looking at the way he swung the hammer, he could tell that Blacksmith Ge's stats were not low.
"Repairing the weapon."
Irin did not say any nonsense.
He directly threw the broken dagger over.
"The repair fee is 87 gold."
He did not know how the repair fee was calculated, but after Irin took a huge sum from the weapon merchant, this repair fee was nothing. Irin did not even think and directly confirmed it.
"Get out."
Who knew if the repair process involved some trade secrets, but Irin was chased out.
Ten minutes later.
Irin obtained a 'brand new' dagger. He casually swung the blade, and Irin was very satisfied with the blacksmith's skills.
Currently, Irin did not have any other weapons, so he could only use it.
His current direction of adding points was the dagger path. If he did not have a dagger in hand, all the God's Gift points would not be effective. This was a bit of a pain in the ass.
Blacksmith Ge walked under the light, and Irin could see his face clearly.
There were many scars on Blacksmith Ge's face, and they were filled with stories.
Blacksmith Ge did not seem to be in the mood to chat with Irin. After handing over the dagger, he prepared to leave and close the door to continue working.
"Wait."
"What is it?"
"May I ask if you can order weapons here?"
"Yes. But you must first have the 'blueprint' and 'materials'. I can charge the corresponding fees and process them for you. "
Although Blacksmith Ge seemed to have a high status, he was still an NPC. He answered the questions truthfully without any lies.
But after answering the questions, Blacksmith Ge pulled on the door with his story-filled face, as if he did not have much patience.
Irin laughed.
"One more question."
He took out a dull, blood-red dagger from the [Tools] tab and asked, "Can you repair this weapon?"
The moment Irin took out the blood-red dagger, Blacksmith Ge's cold eyes suddenly lit up.
Irin did not have time to pay attention to the special effects that flashed through the blacksmith's eyes.
He was focused on the blacksmith's head.
"Divine sword?"
The blacksmith only took a glance and was surprised, "You are just a small adventurer. How can you have a 'divine sword'?"
"What is a 'divine sword'?"
"You don't know?" The blacksmith raised his head and looked coldly at Irin.
"I have lost my memory." Irin raised his head. In his eyes, Irin tried to show three parts confusion, three parts sadness, three parts sorrow, and a deep hidden sense of mission. Although he did not know if the blacksmith understood this feeling, Irin was trying very hard to act.
At the end of the act, Irin sighed and said, "This is a sad story."
And this was also the truth.
He did lose his memory.
And it was a very thorough kind.
Blacksmith Ge was silent.
Ding!
Although he didn't say anything, an exclamation mark honestly popped up on his forehead.
“！”
His mouth was full of disdain.
Irin was very emotional and decisively accepted the mission.
[Main mission accepted: The road to recovery of 'Unknown Divine Sword'!]
[Current mission objective: Find a 'Blank Divine Sword Crystal' for Blacksmith Ge of Rab Town.]
[Mission difficulty: A +]
[Mission time limit: None]
[Mission reward: Unknown]
After Irin accepted the mission.
Blacksmith Ge, who was full of disdain, slammed the door of the shop, as if to express this meaning.
— — No more customers today!
"Why do I feel that this blacksmith's attitude is a bit bad?"
Irin subconsciously touched his face.
But no matter what, he finally knew that the mysterious red dagger that had been lying in [Props] was a "godly sword." Although Irin was still in the novice village and couldn't understand what kind of existence a 'divine sword' was, just by hearing the name, it shouldn't be bad.
"But why do I have it?"
"Could it be a player's benefit?"
"The kind where everyone has one?"
In Irin's "cognition", he didn't seem to feel that this kind of "opening with a dragon-slaying dagger, one slash for 999 points" style was abrupt.
Oh … right.
There was also "opening with a dog".
This was the side mission he received from Blacksmith Ge, the difficulty level was A +. Obviously, this was not something that could be completed at his current level. Irin was not in a hurry.
After busying himself, it was getting late.
There were few pedestrians on the road.
Irin raised his head.
It was already late at night.
No wonder the blacksmith was closing.
It turned out that it was time to close.
"It's time to work."
Irin smiled slightly, his expression kind.
… ….
The next day.
Early morning.
"Not good! Not good! The grocery store has been stolen! "
"Not good! Not good! The armor store has been stolen! "
"Not good! Not good! The weapons store has been stolen again! "
"Not good! Not good! The church's' crystal 'has been, has been, has been stolen! "
"Not good! Not good! The crystal on the church's priest's' prayer book 'has been dug out and stolen! The priest is so angry that he vomited blood! "
"…"
Rab Town. The entire town was shocked.
