Chapter 86 - Popular Antidote!

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

Due to the huge distance between Iron Skull City and the ruins of the war, the players had spent three days rushing here. Now that they could not enter the forest, it made them very anxious.

There were even some who could not stand the wait and rushed into the forest, but they were quickly sent back to Iron Skull City.

​ 

Most of the monsters in this forest were Level 30, and a large number of elite monsters and even Bronze monsters wandered around.

With the current attributes of the players, it was impossible for them to fight an elite monster alone, not to mention that their attributes had been reduced.

If one rushed into the forest abruptly, he would only die.

Facing this scene, all the players who came here were in a dilemma.

They were unwilling to return to Iron Skull City, but they could not enter the ruins of the war to kill monsters.

These waiting days were too torturous.

But at that moment, an important news suddenly appeared in the army camp’s regional channel.

“This is the Silver Snow Guild. The antidote we’re selling can dispel the debuff in the forest. Each bottle costs 3 silver coins. The quantity is limited. Hurry up and buy it.”

When the anxious players saw this information, they immediately looked at the effect of the potion crazily, as if they were looking at their last hope.

Then, the entire scene was in an uproar…

“I want ten bottles!”

“We want 100 bottles!”

“Beautiful sister, we want 500 bottles. This is 15 gold coins. Please keep it.”

“Please sell us 400 bottles of potion, thank you.”

“I beg you, beautiful sisters, please sell me the antidotes…”

Instantly, countless players arrived at the Silver Snow Guild’s camp.

…

After some discussion, Twinkle Rose was finally priced at 3 silver coins per bottle.

These potions were bought by her and Super Rich at the retail price of 1 silver coin per bottle.

Now, she was selling the potion to these guild players at three times the price.

This was definitely a terrifying profit.

3 silver coins was equivalent to 150 alliance dollars. It was very expensive to buy a bottle of potion at this price.

After all, this potion could only allow one to be immune to poison and enter the map smoothly. It could not help one obtain any other benefits directly.

Moreover, it only had 24 hours of use. They had to buy a potion tomorrow, or else they would return to the current situation.

Although they knew that they had been cheated, the other players could not refuse.

After all, only the Silver Snow Guild had these potions at this stage.

Even if their guild could purchase the same potion in the main city, the transportation time was three days. They could not wait that long.

Therefore, it could be seen that despite the high price of the potion, the players still rushed into the Silver Snow Guild’s camp crazily.

…

“Has the big-busted sister started selling?”

On a hill, Lorne was leading his pets through the forest when he saw the message from the Silver Snow Guild.

Three silver coins was indeed the most accurate price, but it also depended on the occasion.

At a time when everyone was extremely anxious, she could easily raise the price of the potion to 5 silver coins.

Although the sales would not be huge, it could help her earn more.

This was because the antidote was limited.

Even if it was produced in the future, it was far from letting everyone have it.

Therefore, she did not have to worry about the sales of the potions in the next few days.

“Big-busted Sister should have other considerations…”

Lorne thought so.

After all, the Silver Snow Guild was a large guild. They needed to accumulate reputation and prepare for the future hegemony of Iron Skull City.

Unlike a loner like him, he did not care about the thoughts of others. He only needed to plunder wealth.

“Looks like I have to speed up. A huge amount of wealth is waving at me…”

Lorne quickly closed the chat panel and looked at the battlefield ahead.

He had not reached his destination.

During this period of time, he had been killing monsters in the Barbarian Forest.

Originally, Lorne wanted to quickly cross the forest and reach the ruins of the war.

But accidents always happened so suddenly.

On the way, Lorne noticed a very important problem.

That was the level of the pets.

“Roar…”

Directly ahead, the pets were attacking a group of marsh crocodiles.

Surprisingly, although they were only ordinary monsters, the pets were having a tough time.

As an elite pet, Little Mantis only dealt 81 damage each time.

It did not even reach three digits.

This was too rare for Lorne who had been clearing monsters all the time.

[Marsh Crocodile]

Quality: Normal Monster

Level: 25

HP: 2745 / 4500

Skill: [Death Spin], [Bloodthirsty Bite]

Introduction: A giant crocodile that lives in the swamp forest. It has a huge body and sharp teeth. It will ambush any creatures that pass by.

————

It could be seen that after the players reached Class One, the monsters in the main city also received a huge increase in attributes.

However, such attributes were not enough to stop him.

It was so strange.

Currently, [Little Mantis] only dealt 81 damage.

The Silver monster [Venom] only dealt 155 points of damage.

One had to know that the Level 10 [Venom] had a limit of 910 Attack points, but it only dealt less than 155 damage.

This was ridiculous.

Lorne was stunned on the spot.

After checking the combat panel, he understood everything.

It turned out that this was because the difference in level between the two sides was too great, causing a level suppression effect!

————

[Level Suppression Effect]

Detailed explanation:

When the difference between the player and the monster was more than five levels, the higher level party would receive 20% damage reduction and additional 20% damage output when attacking.

Every 5 levels difference would result in an additional 20% damage reduction.

When the gap between the two sides reached 20 levels, the higher level party would be immune to all damage and all control effects of the lower level party.

————

This mechanism only appeared after entering the main city. It was no wonder that Lorne did not know about it.

But then again…

This was a huge blow to Lorne.

This was because his damage output came from his pets. However, because he had just entered the main city, his pets were only Level 10.

The map clearly stated that the ruins of war were high-level maps between Level 30 and Level 50.

With his pets’ level, there was no way for him to deal with monsters above Level 30.

Therefore, Lorne could only slow down.

He began killing monsters in the Level 20 map.

Barbarian Forest was a Level 20 to 40 map, so the level suppression effect was not very severe.

Fortunately, yesterday, “Small Artillery” had already reached Level 18. Even if it was suppressed by the level difference, its damage output would not be too affected.

Therefore, the gains these two days was very rich. Just the experience points alone were close to a million.

However, Lorne had not chosen to awaken Aisha.

The priority now was to raise the level of the team as soon as possible and eliminate the effect of level suppression. Only then could he obtain higher efficiency.
