Charlus stood near the entrance of the pub. Since it was the only entrance, nobody could escape.
All the people tried to attack Charlus at once but couldn’t due to space constraints. Only 10 people could surround Charlus at first.
Slowly, Charlus took out his extra baseball bats. He did not do nothing with his earnt money. He had bought a few metal rods and baseball bats. The cashier had looked at him weirdly when he was buying them but it was helping now wasn’t it?
Charlus quickly dealt with the first wave. Since he was using a metal rod, he was dealing more damage. According to what he understood, the weapons he used amplified his Str. Some doubled them. If he got a Rare item from a quest, Charlus expected that it would do atleast 5 times the damage as his Str stat. He did not know what Int and Wis was used for though.
The people who rushed at Charlus immediately were now laying unconscious near him, creating a vague semi circle around him.
The other goons weren’t stopped by that. They continued to rush in. The people were able to get near Charlus by occupying the space of their fallen comrades.
Charlus started swinging his metal rod and dagger around wildly. He was not interested in preserving his HP. If he was running out of it, he would grab Marcus and rush out. He had enough Agi to beat the goons and the Gang Members.
Wait. Where was Marcus?
Charlus looked around. He could not find Marcus in the havoc. Charlus moved front a little. He swung hard at the person who was falling on him and kept him in place to use as a human shield. Then he turned around.
He saw Marcus in his car, driving away from the area. Well, there went his plan. So he had to look for a car if he wanted to escape.
Suddenly, Charlus heard a welcoming notification. Several actually.
[You have gained enough Exp]
[You are now Lvl 10]
Charlus had already levelled up twice in the short time he had entered the pub. Sure enough, these human places were the most efficient places to farm Exp that Charlus had experienced.
[After repeated action, you have unlocked the skill [Blunt Weapon Mastery]]
[Blunt Weapon Mastery (Passive) Lvl 1]
[Damage with blunt weapons deal 5% more damage. Your actions with blunt weapons are more smooth.]
[After repeated action, you have unlocked the skill [Dagger Mastery]]
[Dagger Mastery (Passive) Lvl 1]
[Damage with daggers deal 5% more damage. Your actions with daggers are more smooth.]
Charlus smiled. He was hoping to finally unlock more skills. He was fed up with having only 2 skills. Even though these were just passive skills, they were still decent.
Charlus decided that he would open his Stat screen to allot stats once so that he would actually be as powerful as an actual Lvl 10.
In the mean time, he was also fighting with the weak goons. While this was taking some of his stamina, he became refreshed every time he levelled up, so he became fired up with each defeated enemy.
Charlus noticed that a vague wall was forming around him. He smiled. This would give him some leeway. It would give him some space from his enemies. While it wouldn’t be too much, it would be much appreciate it since he would be able to dodge some attacks instead of facing them head on.
This wall became proper after Charlus defeated the 15th goon. The number of goons surrounding him decreased to 9 from 10. Charlus immediately felt the dip in pressure and quickened his farming speed.
Charlus was able to beat down 30 more goons other than the first 10 before the rest of the Black Rose gang understood that something was wrong.
Charlus gained 4500 Exp with these 30 extra people. This brought his Exp from 145/1000 in Lvl 10 to 45/1400 in Lvl 14! He had gone from Lvl 8 to Lvl 14 in around an hour. This was an unbelievable levelling speed.
Of course, Charlus knew that he could do better. It wasn’t that he wasn’t satisfied with the pace, but he knew that he was not at his full potential. he immediately opened his Stats panel to upgrade his stats.
If he was a true Lvl 14, forget another hour, he would be able to clear the rest of the bar in less than 30 minutes. After all, he would probably have double his current stats if he allocated all his points. This meant that he would be able to farm these goons with a single hit.
Charlus didn’t think that this game was giving him such an easy and quick way to increase his level. He didn’t say it out loud though. He didn’t even dare to think of it. He would undoubtedly jinx it if he spoke out loud.
