Chapter 8 - 1st Fight in the Game World

Tang Ling returned to the Game World through his sleep. Again he felt the great speed of his body but was long accustomed to it.

Tang Ling opened his closed eyes and saw the familiar area : the Lone Dawn Village.

The fresh scent of air... The touch of earth... The never-ending valleys... These were everything that his world didn't have. He could sense the hapiness and harmony of the village unlike the dark slums where plots and murder could be seen everyday or the white slums where one would still be wary of scams. Sometimes, he felt that this world was more real than his...

Forget about it, Tang Ling shook his head, no matter what, this world and the real world are all the same. He could not compare it whenever which is real or fake, these two are real.

Suddentky, Tang Ling remembered that the kids of the village said that he should give the extra sunflowers to Forger Wang but he indeed forgot about it.

"Thanks boy, with these sunflowers I can relax my body." said Forger Wang when he received the sunflowers.

"Hum... What would you do with these sunflowers ?" asked Tang Ling. Yeah, sunflowers are really common and don't have any uses unless you want to beautify your garden, I guess ?

"What do you mean ? Everything has its use, sunflowers are common, yes but posess some energy of the sun and earth. Sunflowers and other common herbs can be used to refresh the body ! Look !" Forger Wang demonstrated to him. He put the sunflowers to his muscled body. After a few seconds, the sunflowers began to melt and vapors could be seen.

"You see ? Sunflowers refresh the body, you see, little kids are ignorant but for these common herbs can be used to accelerate your cultivation."

[With the basic teachings of Forger Wang and Medecine LV1, you have learnt some insights to Herbology]

[Sunflowers and ect. (Trashes) : Common herbs that can be found everywhere. They're treated as trashes for ignorants. But for some people, they have discovered the true uses of them.

[You have completed the extra quest : Sunflowers to the Forger Wang !

Received 10 EXP, 1 copper and a dagger]

"As thanks, take this dagger, I know that young people like you want to explore the world. This excellent dagger that I made can protect you from some harms." Forger took out a small dark dagger and put on his hand.

[Fine Lone Dawn Dagger (Common) : 8-12 ATK

A common dagger that Forger Wang make for self-defense for every a.d.u.l.t villagers. It is the symbole of friendship and belonging of the Lone Dawn Dagger.]

"Speaking of it, go deal with the small fries, although they don't threaten anyone in the villages they are very annoying, plus we have more important things to do but we can't let them unpunished !"

[Quest received : Deal with these devious creatures !

Difficulty : Easy

Forger Wang is long preoccupied with these evil small creatures that are very annoying. They pillage the fields, steal some items and are very annoying to everyone. But the villagers don't have the time to spare for the imps and aren't easy to catch. Forger Wang want you to kill 10 of them and if possible, retrieve their items

"Of course, Master Forger Wang, I will accept !"

"Good Go, these pests are living in the east of the villages, generally in caves."

Tang Ling nodded and as he started to go to the caves, he remembered that he said that the imps weren't dangerous to anyone but was just annoying. Could it be that he included the children ?

[Huang Child LV 7]

What the f*** ?! Every children was stronger than him ?!

From what he thought, LVs increased one's strenght, he, as a LV 1 gained a small increase of strenght so he could easily beat someone up. But at LV7 means that every children could just beat him up without a sweat. Don't underestimate a little strenght, this little strenght could make one beat two if before he could beat one at the same time.

Forget it, he would be able to close the gap with these children when he finish the quest.

Tang Ling walked over 10 kilometers and finally found a small cave. 10 kilometers was nothing for Tang Ling, as slumers, he could easily walk for 20 kilometers without breaking a sweat.

Imps around the village were all weak, but in levels they're stronger than Tang Ling himself. Luckily, they are innately weaker than the normal level counterpart and were dumber than normal humans unless it came to the fact of destruction and stealing. They were the kings at it.

[Little Imp LV 3 HP:40, Description : You don't have enough knowledge]

Tang Ling didn't bother of the lack of descriptions, he readied his knife and pounced at the imp while crazily slasing at it.

After a couple of slashes, the imps died without any chances of retaliating.

[You have killed a imp gaining 10 EXP]

With this encounter, Tang Ling realised that his crazy slashings didn't have the proper technique...

Well, he was pretty fast but he didn't have anything to accelerate his knife handlings or increase his power. If he could grasp something about it, he would take less time and strenght to kill an imp.

Tang Ling looked over the next imp who didn't notice his comarade killed and tried to sneakily attack.

Bam ! The sneak was successful, his attack landed on the imp's head. Everyone knew that the brain was a weak point, a fatal one at that. But his attack didn't immediatly killed the tarfet and the dagger was stuck on it head.

Tang Ling tried to retrieve his dagger but it wouldn't budge. The imp reacted and started speaking nonsensical things..

"Albajsalaow,pkapsojawms... ASKAWU !" Sensing something wrong, Tang Ling let go the dagger and immediatly retreated to the side.

What he saw was a fireball that went to his previous place, but as it slightly scratched his soulder causing his shoulder burnt. The pain was still bearable but it caused a lot of damage.

HP : 100/150.

50 damage, it meant that if he got hit he would surely die and if it scratched 2 more times he would also die.
