Chapter 1519 - Power Of Obscure Justice

Just like Wang Yu, Prairie Fire was also a new talent who only rose to ranks ever since the opening of this new gaming model in <<REBIRTH>>.

Even Wang Yu had heard about the past achievements of this fella from the rest of the Quan Zhen Sect.

Rumours spread that this person had a hidden branch job of an Archer and his strength had surpassed the levels of a professional expert. He had defeated many professional experts and was dubbed to be a God among Archers. In other words, he was like how Wang Yu was to all the other Pugilists.

An Archer was the most unique job among all the other jobs in <<REBIRTH>>.

Ever since virtual reality became part of the game, players left the traditional keyboard and mouse behind. All movements had to depend solely on a player’s individual ability.

A bow was one of the hardest weapons to use.

In this day and age where even kung fu was no longer prevalent, the number of players who knew how to use a bow was decreasing at an alarming rate.

Therefore, <<REBIRTH>> assisted a lot in the movement of an Archer. Under the system, players would have a fixed standard of shooting which made it easy for players to get a hang of it.

However, one had to find shooting arrows satisfactory to do well in it. Depending on the system’s help was naturally not going to take an expert far which explained why there were indeed not many top Archers in the game.

Besides Prairie Fire, Wang Yu had only met three other top Archers in the game. As for the other players, they were still unable to break free from the system’s assistance.

Of course, an Archer was the furthest range job in the game. If one could play this job well, one could be extremely frightening. One great example was God of Death’s Left Hand. Even though he was a non-mainstream Archer, he was still more than capable of giving Wang Yu headaches.

As an Archer, Prairie Fire was regarded as a god to the other Archers. Hence, he was inevitably exceedingly good at his job.

Presently, the players around Mu Zixian’s convenience store grew excited.

There were not many players who could be regarded as a God among their jobs. Besides terms like God of War or Magic God, Wang Yu and Prairie Fire were essentially the only two players with such titles. Seeing the two of them stand right in front of them, one could imagine how the players were feeling.

If it wasn’t for Wang Yu’s evil reputation in Twilight City, some of the players might have even asked them for their signatures.

…

“It is really good to meet you! I’ve heard a lot about you!”

Hearing Prairie Fire’s name, Wang Yu extended his hand.

“The same can be said of you!”

Prairie Fire shook Wang Yu’s hand and said, “I’ve heard about the chances of meeting the legendary Iron Bull if I were to purchase items from this store. Who would have thought I got lucky during my first visit?”

“Don’t say that!” Wang Yu smiled humbly, “To think that a small shop like this can attract a top expert like you…”

When a top expert met another top expert, they started exchanging polite greetings.

“Are you guys done talking? There are other people waiting in line!” Mu Zixian frowned as she complained.

“!?”

Prairie Fire was shocked. It was clear that he had never seen such a demanding shop owner despite playing the game for some time now.

“Haha!” Wang Yu smiled awkwardly before walking out of the counter, “That’s my wife…”

“I see!”

Prairie Fire sighed, “Who would have thought that the number one expert in this game is terrified of someone too…”

“I call this respect!” Wang Yu explained.

“I understand!” Prairie Fire and Wang Yu walked out of the shop as they chatted heartily towards the foot of a wall like old friends.

When experts meet, there is always a need to exchange conventional greetings. Even if they didn’t know each other, they should converse to find out more about each other.

Wang Yu naturally didn’t care about all these but Prairie Fire was a classic expert. Seeing how polite and courteous Wang Yu was, he felt bad if he didn’t entertain him.

“Brother Iron Bull, do you not need to train to level up?” After a few minutes, Prairie Fire finally asked what he wanted to ask.

As an expert himself, he understood an expert more than anyone else.

Nobody could become a top expert just like that. Even Wang Yu had over twenty years of martial arts training to get to where he is.

This was even more true for players in a game. In order to maintain one’s own status as a top expert, to ensure others don’t catch up with him, he should be working hard to level up every single day. Even so, Wang Yu seemed so carefree and even had the time to help sort things out at the convenience store. That seemed a little unprofessional.

“I’m relatively more free today!”

Wang Yu replied honestly, “I used to have a fixed squad in the past but they are all busy with their skill quest which I cannot help much.”

“Oh? Really?” Prairie Fire’s eyes lit up, “Does that mean Brother Iron Bull is free today?”

“En!” Wang Yu nodded before asking, “I see that you bought this medicine! Are you going to kill a dragon?”

“That’s right!” Prairie Fire smiled, “I am currently trying to complete a slightly more difficult quest. Does Brother Iron Bull have time to do it with me?”

“This…” Wang Yu certainly did not expect Prairie Fire to be this straightforward. He didn’t expect him to ask for his help so quickly and directly.

Even though Wang Yu had nothing on, he still felt like a fool if he was duped by someone else to help with his quest. If he disagreed, wasn’t all the brotherly talk earlier fake?

“Haha! Brother Iron Bull, don’t worry!” Prairie Fire continued, “I will be extremely grateful for you.”

“Haha!” Wang Yu brushed it off with a smile, “I don’t need gratitude. I am not that kind of person.”

“I understand!” Prairie Fire smiled as he took out a skill book for Wang Yu.

Wang Yu couldn’t help but smile when he took a closer look at the book.

[Power of Obscure Justice]: Rare skill. Learning it will greatly increase the strength attribute, attack judgement as well as grappling strength.

Wang Yu clicked on the book and it turned into a radiance to enter Wang Yu’s body.

Following which, an additional skill appeared on Wang Yu’s skill tab – Power of Obscure Justice: Passive skill, strength attributes increase by 20%. Judgement increases by 15%. Grappling strength increases by 15%.

“Haha!” Wang Yu couldn’t help but smile as he said, “Brother Prairie Fire really overspent!”

“It’s fine! A skill like this is most suitable for Brother Iron Bull to bring out the best in you!” Prairie Fire replied faintly.

…

Prairie Fire was indeed right because the most awkward part of a Pugilist now was how weak its strength attributes were.

As a job which specialised on grappling skills, the strength attributes would be low. Even if the judgement of such grappling skill was high, one wouldn’t be able to do anything to an opponent if his strength was much lower than the opponent.

After countless battles with others, Wang Yu knew just how important his judgement was.

With the increasing levels of players, they were also equipped with much better equipment. They were no longer as easy to grapple and toss around like before. Therefore, Wang Yu seldom used grappling skill against power-type players nowadays.

The attributes of this [Power of Obscure Justice] essentially complemented the only weakness Wang Yu had at this current stage of the game.
