9 9. Goat boss drops, 【Frost Shield】_1

Besides Experience Points, the loot dropped by the Mountain Goat boss was the most attractive part.

Su Yu walked up and searched through the corpse of the Mountain Goat boss.

As a Level 4 boss and the first to be killed server-wide, the loot from the Mountain Goat boss was extremely generous!

[Rock Cut Sword (Excellent) lv4], [Linen Gloves (Excellent) lv4], skill scroll [Fatal Strike (Excellent)], skill scroll [Frost Shield (Common)], and [Mountain Goat Leader’s Horn (Excellent)]X1.

“Amazing, another skill scroll has dropped! And it’s the [Fatal Strike], a top-notch skill for warriors!” Su Yu’s eyes lit up.

[Fatal Strike (Excellent)]: Use your weapon to deliver a furious strike on the target in front of you, inflicting physical damage equivalent to 170% of your attack power. The lower the target’s HP, the more damage dealt, up to a maximum of 340% of your attack power.

Cooldown time is 3 seconds, with a rage consumption of 10 points.

Learning level: lv1

“Fatal Strike” is especially useful skill for warriors in the early stages and is incredibly mighty for defeating wild bosses and instance bosses!

A lone warrior who learns “Fatal Strike” at this stage will be sought after by the top five guilds nationwide, and they will also place great importance in training them.

Unfortunately, only warriors can learn “Fatal Strike”, Su Yu can’t use it at all.

He could only throw the skill scroll into his backpack.

Better sell it when I get back to town! Although he isn’t short of cash, selling it would be the fastest and easiest.

Other than the “Fatal Strike” skill scroll, the Mountain Goat boss has also generously dropped another skill scroll.

[Frost Shield (Common)]: Utilize the power of frost to form a protective shield around you that can absorb damage 200% equal to your spell power. If you are struck by a melee attack while the Frost Shield is active, it will slow down the attack speed and movement speed of the attacking melee unit by 20% for 5 seconds.

Instant cast, lasts for 60 seconds, cooldown time is 60 seconds, and the mana cost is 10 points.

“Frost Shield” is a must-have for any solo ice magician in the early stages.

“Frost Shield” can withstand 2-3 hits from a monster melee attack, while also slowing them down, making kiting easier.

In Su Yu’s past life, every mage start their journey by trying every means to save up spiritual energy coins and then purchase the skill scrolls of “Frost Shield” and “Ice Arrow” from the goods pile (similar to an auction house) in the beginner’s village, which allowed them to level up on their own.

As a former mage player, Su Yu is very familiar with this technique.

So without much thought, he clicked to use it directly, and spent 1,100 spiritual energy coins to enhance “Frost Shield” to Rare blue quality as well.

[Frost Shield (Rare)]: Use the power of frost to form a protective shield around you, absorbing damage equivalent to 400% of your spell power. While Frost Shield is active, if you are hit by a melee attack, the melee units attacking you will have their attack speed and movement speed reduced by 40% for 5 seconds.

Instant cast, lasts for 60 seconds, cooldown time is 60 seconds, and the mana cost is 30 points.

Having learned a new skill, Su Yu waved a hand and the spell for “Frost Shield” was cast.

Ice magic gathered around his body and eventually formed a shield resembling an eggshell composed of transparent ice crystals.

Looking at the familiar egg-shell like shield, Su Yu couldn’t help but feel a touch of emotion:

“Sigh! I finally have some self-defense ability. But the magic consumption of “Frost Shield” is as high as 30 points, it looks like I need to find some gear that can boost my mana!”

Su Yu’s current mana cap is 140 points, and a [Beginner Mana Potion] recovers 100 points of mana.

During the process of leveling up and fighting the boss, Su Yu didn’t stop drinking potions. Each time his mana ran out, he would take a swig to replenish it.

But now he had drank so much mana potion that he could taste the bitterness in his mouth.

It would be best to obtain one or two pieces of gear that could raise his mana limit so he wouldn’t have to keep drinking potions.

“I remember there’s a hidden task in the beginner’s village that rewards an excellent-quality accessory. This accessory can significantly boost the mana limit, which suits me well at this moment.” Su Yu thought.

Checking his backpack, it was filled with all sorts of gear and materials, with only 37 [Beginner Mana Potions] left.

“Nevermind, I’ll head back to town to resupply, complete my accessory task, then return for more leveling.”

After Su Yu made his decision, he left the monster zone and headed towards the beginner’s village.

…

A few minutes later, Su Yu returned to the beginner village, Nolan Village.

Nolan Village was bustling as usual, with countless players coming in and out.

Some were busy leveling up, others were sightseeing, treating the game as a “Travel Simulator”.

As soon as Su Yu arrived at the entrance to the village, players noticed the level above his head, and immediate cries of shock rang out:

“Oh my god, it’s a level 3! We actually have a level 3 bigshot in our beginner’s village!”

“Wifey, come over here now! This guy’s amazing!”

“Boss, how did you level up so quickly? Any tips to share?”

“Boss, are you a solo player? Do you want to join our guild? We are the ‘Emperor Blood Slays the Sky…’ guild…”

Soon, Su Yu was surrounded by a large group of players who all looked at him with envy.

Su Yu was familiar with these situations as he had been surrounded like this in his past life too.

But in his past life, he had been surrounded by beauties, while this time, he was surrounded by burly guys, which made him feel considerably less comfortable.

Left with no choice, Su Yu hid his name and level, before saying to the group:

“Everyone, no need to envy me. I just happened to come across a hidden task that awarded lots of Experience Points.”

“If you take your time exploring the game, you’ll come across such tasks sooner or later.”

After speaking, Su Yu turned around and squeezed out from the least crowded spot.

Everyone believed what Su Yu said.

Seeing Su Yu leaving, they didn’t pry any further and instead started discussing amongst themselves on how to find hidden tasks.

However, four or five players persistently chased after him, shouting:

“Big guy, where did you accept that hidden task?”

“Boss, are you interested in joining our guild?”

“Leveling is so hard. Boss, can you train me? There are rewards~”

The last sentence was said by a pretty girl.

But Su Yu didn’t even give them a glance, he quickly ran into the streets of the beginner’s village.

Su Yu’s boots were enhanced and hence, his movement speed was faster than other players.

After leading these players round the beginner’s village for two rounds, he successfully shook off these “pursuers”.

“Sigh! Looks like I can’t show my level anymore. Otherwise, I’ll be encircled wherever I go and that’s too troublesome.”

Su Yu sighed to himself while heading towards the beginner’s village goods pile.

He was planning to auction off the loot from the two bosses.
