Chapter 19

Translator: Inschain Editor: Inschain

Since it was still too early to sleep.

Frank took a taxi to the internet cafe in the nearby shopping mall to surf the internet.

After logging into the God War that he played with James, Frank checked his friends’ list. Many of them were still online.

Always Sleeping: OMG, you’re back?

Perpetual99: The college entrance examination is over? How was the exam?

Cappuccino: Missing people returning? The last time you logged in was in March.

Frank received the messages from his three good friends.

These three were the ones who had played with him the most in the past. They were all poor who had gathered together to have fun.

Among them, the one with the ID Always Sleeping was his master. It was said that he was an unmarried 38-year-old man.

Frank greeted the three of them and then looked at his role.

A small Assassin with tattered equipment.

Standing on the street, he was no different from a beggar.

The people on the streets were all well-dressed and riding tall horses.

He never recharged when playing games. In addition, he had not been online much in his third year of high school, so his account was useless.

Unless…He recharged crazily.

But then again, if he wanted to spend money, why not play in the new server? The old server had been open for more than a year. Although there were many people, he hadn’t collected resources for a year and was far behind others.

Always Sleeping: Disciple, help me kill someone. Come to Dark Manor!

Frank was also speechless. Was he going to be cannon fodder with this poor account?

Therefore, he replied to his master, “No way.”

Always Sleeping: Waah, waah, you wicked disciple!

Frank went offline.

Firstly, he couldn’t stand his 38-year-old man’s wailing. Secondly, he wanted to hurry to the new server and build an account.

He switched his account and went to the new server, Life Dream. Frank created a Human Mage with the ID: Scorpio Mage.

Scorpio was a star sign, but it wasn’t his. It was the star sign of a popular Neon love and martial arts movie actress that he liked.

As the name suggested, he was a Mage in the game.

After creating an account, Frank opened the recharge interface and charged 17000 dollars.

This time, he wanted to be the NO. 1 Mage in the server. He wanted to be the one with the fastest casting time, the most ruthless attacks, the strongest defense, and the fastest escape.

To reach this level, 17000 dollars was not enough, but he could take it slowly.

“Ding! The host has recharged for the first time in the online game and unlocked the achievement [Loot Dropping].”

“[Loot Dropping]: This character has obtained a 3% increase in the drop rate of top-grade items. This upgrade cannot be detected.”

Frank was shocked. Increase 3% drop rate?!!

This was amazing.

One had to know that the drop rate of many top-grade equipment was only 0.000001%!

Sometimes, it would not appear even after brushing dungeons thousands of times.

Moreover, the system had said that it could not be detected.

Therefore, Frank recharged another 71000 dollars.

After he finished recharging, Frank entered the game and began his happy gaming time.

Mages did not have any equipment, levels, and skills in the early stages of the game. However, these difficulties did not exist in front of players who spent money.

With the top-up ingots, he could first go to the Auction House to buy some gold. Then, he could use the gold to buy some top-grade equipment for his account. Then, he could buy a set of top-grade fashion clothes that cost 513 dollars and a Unicorn mount that cost 1046 dollars. Then, he could go out of the mountain to fight monsters and level up.

As for skill books, he also went to the Auction House to buy the best ones, such as Meridian Stones, Treasured Books, and gemstones.

After playing for two hours, a few low-level instance zones dropped top-grade equipment: Moon Slashing Sword, Moonstep Boots, Sun Cloak, Cloud Ring, Electric Ring, Wind Waist Brace, etc.

Every single one of them was top-tier equipment, and each of them had a cast reduction of at least 6%, which added up to a total cast reduction of 36%.

Frank did some calculations. Using the Mage’s medium-damage skill, Heavenly Fire Punishes the World, as an example, it originally required two seconds to cast. Frank wore this equipment and with his talent, he reduced the casting time by 6% which was equivalent to reducing the casting time by 40%. This skill only required 1.2 seconds to cast.

In the later stages, as the levels of Refinement, Strengthening, Gems, Treasured Book, Meridians, and Talent increased, the reduced casting time would continue to decrease to 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, and even 100%.

He wanted to learn more about the Instant Cast Large Fireball.

If he continued to recharge like this, the mobile cannon was just around the corner.

Frank was at the internet cafe, playing from seven in the evening to ten in the morning.

During this period, in addition to leveling up and loading down dungeons, he also made a friend.

The friend’s ID was Young Master White, the leader of a new guild called Never Gone.

Young Master White wanted to load down a level 40 top-tier dungeon and shout out in the Public Chat that he needed help.

Frank signed up and was rejected at first. Later, Frank sent his panel and was accepted.

After entering the dungeon, Frank went all out and shocked the other nine members of the team, including Young Master White.

This was because Frank had not only spent money, but he also had the bonus of the [Loot Dropping]. He had brought several top-grade items that were extremely rare from the beginner dungeon. These pieces of equipment could not be bought with money!

This made Young Master White and the other moguls of Never Gone.

The group of people brought Frank to level up and clear dungeons. Their relationship deepened very quickly.

After clearing a few dungeons, a few more ultra-quality pieces of equipment fell into Frank’s pocket.

“OMG! [Legend · Ice River Robe]! Mage is amazing!”

“The [Stepping Cloud Earrings] is also dropped! It fell into Mage’s bag!”

“The [A Border Song] is dropped!”

“[Legend · Moonlight and River Flows]!”

There were ten people in this dungeon team, and the others were jealous. All the top-grade items dropped to Frank.

Frank left behind what he could use and traded what he could not with his friends.

Everyone shouted, “Mage is generous!”

Since he had decided to make a name for himself in the new server, Frank did not save money. He spent a lot of money on the [Double EXP Card]. He could bring it with him when he did missions or dungeons. This way, he could get double EXP.

Frank was so excited that he recharged another 35000 dollars. With the previous 88000 dollars, he recharged almost 124000 dollars in one night.

In the small group, Never Gone, he also obtained the position of [Incense Master].

His new account, [Scorpio Mage], was slowly gaining some fame.

It wasn’t until midnight that Frank took a taxi back to sleep.
