Chapter 244: Returning to the Starter Village

Chapter 244: Returning to the Starter Village

Tigeroars Feral Rage set had an even scarier effect of lowering Attack of all enemies within a certain range by twenty per cent, though it lasted for only a minute. Celestial Hero lowered movement speed instead of Attack, which was less powerful in a sense, but its duration was fifteen minutes.

If the Level 30 Arena set gives 20 bonus Strength, what are the buffs on the Level 35 Feral Rage set? Tigeroar also has the legendary Divine Martial Sword

While Drako Yau might have sounded confident in front of Fatty, he knew deep down that Tigeroar was a threat to be recognised. He won this time thanks to the element of surprise, though Tigeroar had also shown all his cards. He guessed that his chances of winning in their next fight were roughly fifty per cent if they fought again under the same conditions.

However, now that he had the Celestial Hero set, the disparity in equipment quality was less extreme, though Tigeroars weapon was still superior.

If I can defeat him with terrible gear, theres nothing to fear with my new set of armour.

Only several of his five hundred or so battle medals remained. He stashed it away in his warehouse and went on to the quest location.

As Drako Yau walked, he realised something. Isnt this the way towards the starter village? Fatty had such a serious look just to send me off to a quest in the starter village?

He let out a laugh of relief. Quests were also categorised by levels; the higher the level, the greater the difficulty. For example, Ichor Hons The Honno-ji Incident staged encounter quest had Level 25 enemies while Mitsuhide Akechi was even a Level 40 epic boss. They were too strong for Drako Yaus group to defeat.

If the quest location was the starter village, enemies in the quest probably wouldnt be of high levels according to game design principles. Players who received quests in the starter village were newbies, so it wasnt very plausible for the starter village to give out extremely difficult quests. What if Drako Yau didnt receive Fattys invitation and the quest was taken by a Level 1 or 2 player instead? Sending them to fight against high-level monsters didnt make sense.

Reaching that conclusion, Drako Yau slowed down a fair bit. The series of incidents lately had made all tensed up; taking on a leisurely quest seemed like a good change of pace.

With Wanderers passive effect and using the stockpile of Agility Scrolls he made to level up his subclass, Drako Yaus casual stroll to the starter village didnt take too long.

The starter village was as crowded as always. With Real World gaining further popularity, a world where everyone played the game didnt seem like a distant dream anymore. It was gradually becoming an alternate world thanks to the linked exchange rate between real life and in-game currency, with more and more people working and socialising in the game.

There were many instances of the starter village. Without Fattys tip, Drako Yau couldnt have known about nor found the quest.

New players were sizing him up and down; after all, he was well-equipped and eye-catching. The dazzling spear Shooting Star on his back, the fluttering bloody cloak, Devil Kings Cloak, and the fiery red Mask of the Hidden Dragon all suggested that he was no starter at all. High-levelled players rarely visited the starter village either.

This was his first time receiving such a strange quest that wasnt an encounter quest. Why would an ordinary quest out in the wilderness have such strange mechanics?

After receiving the quest notification, he was granted access to the house. He stepped into the teleportation array and ended up in a simple house that wasnt large by any means.

Drako Yau stiffened on the spot. His gaze, his soul, all of him was sucked in by the house no, by the person in it.

A young lady was silently tidying up the house. She wore an ordinary long, black dress that revealed her pearl-white shoulders, her silky dark hair that reached her waist oscillating along with her movements.

What caught his attention the most were her dark pupils. Like two black holes, they sucked in his gaze; he simply couldnt get his eyes off them. While Drako Yau hadnt fallen in love before, he had seen plenty of beauties. Idyllic Poet and Dakki were both exceedingly charming ladies, but this was his first time seeing a girl with such a unique quality.

Wherever she might be, she naturally became the main character and centre of attention. Even Drako Yau, who had a firm way of the heart, was mesmerised to the point he froze.

Eh? Who are you?

The young lady finally noticed Drako Yaus presence and locked her cold gaze onto him. He felt himself running short on breath as if a terrifying beast had set its sights on him. The next moment, the feeling vanished without a trace.

As per the village elders orders, Im here to seek your opinion, Drako Yau regained his composure from the initial shock and said.

Oh. The young ladys voice was enthralling. It sounded gentle but also hid a tint of bewitching charm within. Tell the village elder this: I will not comply.

Ding!

You have received the mysterious girls response. Report it to the village elder.
