Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Ding! Talent skill activated. All attributes received 1 point, passive skill [Marauder] obtained.

Marauders

Skill Description: Attack has a chance to steal an item from the target.

Chu Qi picked up the equipment.

Ding! Obtained 40,000 EXP, 4,500 gold coins, [Apprentice Ring], [Undead Lord’s Scepter (Quest Item)], [Treasure Basin], x1 Random Skill treasure chest…

Ding! Mission completed [Damn Thief]. Mission reward: 100,000 EXP, Class Level+1, Free Attribute Points: 10, Talent Skill: [Summoning Skeleton Warrior] leveled up to the Iron Stage, Number of summoned creatures+1.

Chu Qi wasn’t in a hurry to check. Instead, he left his original spot and walked into the forest to search for the equipment he had obtained.

[Apprentice Ring (Bronze)]

Intelligence :+50

Magic Attack: 2800

Special Feature 1: Magic Penetration+5

Special Feature 2: Skill Cooldown+15%

Magic Penetration! Whether it was in his previous life or this life, this was the first time Chu Qi had obtained equipment with a penetrative attribute.

He had only seen such equipment on the forums before.

Not to mention that he had also brought along an attribute that decreased the CD of his skills.

In Infinite Worlds, defense was equivalent to magic defense. 5 Magic Penetration was equivalent to ignoring 5 defense points!

At this stage, besides Chu Qi, the highest defense the other players had was less than 80 points. This attribute was equivalent to ignoring 15% of their defense.

Whether it was PvE or PvP, they both greatly increased Chu Qi’s output ability.

Looking at the new technique he had just obtained, Chu Qi held his breath again.

Death Soul Curse (Bronze Stage)

Skill Description: Throw out a Magic Ball. If it fails to kill an enemy, it will split into another Magic Ball. (Up to 20)

The damage dealt by each Magic Ball was 0.5x.

Consumption: 1000 magic points. Cooldown: 5 minutes.

Now, other than the [Dark Mark], Chu Qi’s direct attack method had another [Death Soul Curse].

After allocating the free attribute points, Chu Qi opened his interface. At this time, Chu Qi’s attributes had also changed.

If Chu Qi was allowed to challenge the “Undead Cave” dungeon at this time, he was confident that he could clear it within 15 minutes.

Chu Qi tidied up his equipment and drove towards Red Red Maple City.

A majestic city gate appeared in the distance, and there were no monsters in the surrounding open space.

All the surrounding monsters had been wiped out by the city guards.

Chu Qi walked into the city gate. Besides the NPCs, there were only a few players on the street.

Most of the players had yet to reach the main city.

Chu Qi remembered that there was a dungeon in this main city, but it was a level 15 one. The current Chu Qi could barely clear it alone.

Therefore, Chu Qi and Chu Qi entered a magnificent building. The plaque outside had the words “Mercenary Guild” written on it.

Chu Qi came to the front row. After creating a mercenary group, he came to the mission panel.

A mission caught his attention.

[Hunting the Fire Wolf Lizard]

Mission Requirement: Deliver the head of the Fire Wolf Lizard.

Reward: 50,000 experience points, 1,000 gold coins.

Chu Qi looked at the generous reward and immediately accepted this mission.

The mission map also appeared in Chu Qi’s perspective.

A huge red dot was constantly moving in the lava ground. That was the trail of the Fire Wolf Lizard.

Chu Qi walked out of the Mercenary Guild.

After replenishing his blood medicine in the city, he headed towards the lava.

The map of the main city was between two mountain ranges. Below was an ice field covered in ice, and above was the Land of Lava.

They followed the trail outside the city.

Not long after, a red land appeared in front of Chu Qi.

‘Ding! Arrived at the land of lava, gained 100 experience points.

With an empty field of vision, Chu Qi immediately discovered the Fire Wolf Lizard.

Although it was called a Fire Wolf Lizard, its appearance was only that of a bloated lizard. It was not the combination of a wolf and a lizard as imagined.

Around this lizard were many turtles with fire on their shells.

This was a permanent monster in the Land of Lava [Lava Turtle].

[Lava Turtle]

Level: 12

Health: 20000

Damage: 4000

Technique: Fire Resistance, Flame Protection

[Flame Protection]

Skill Description: Burning flames will constantly burn the surrounding enemies.

Death Soul Curse

A black magic ball flew out from Chu Qi’s weapon and hit the nearest lava turtle. Then, it split into a second one.

18000

Not long after, all the lava turtles, including the Fire Wolf Lizards, were attracted by the aggro and ran towards Chu Qi.

Chu Qi once again harvested the lava turtle in front of him, and then gave the Fire Wolf Lizard a dark mark.

Ding! Talent skill activated. You have received 12 attribute points for all attributes and the passive skill [Fire Resistance].

[Fire resistant]

Skill Description: Immune to 50% Fire-type damage

The Fire Wolf Lizard was already in front of him. Chu Qi also saw its attributes.

[Fire Wolf Lizard (Iron Stage)]

Level: 14

Health Points: 500,000

Damage: 10,000

Skills: Fire Spray, Howl

Chu Qi summoned his skeleton warriors and skeleton archers.

The four skeleton warriors surrounded the Fire Wolf Lizard with a single jump and slash.

12000

12698

11935

13010

-9000 (Bleeding)

When Chu Qi reached the second stage, his summoned creatures had also been greatly enhanced.

With just four jumps and a Bleeding Damage, the Fire Wolf Lizard had already lost one-tenth of its HP.

The skeleton archer beside Chu Qi didn’t want to be outdone either. He shot out two consecutive arrows.

20000

20000

…

After a round of attacks, the Fire Wolf Lizard only had less than half its HP left.

The lizard stopped attacking the skeleton warrior and raised its head to roar.

The surrounding skeleton warriors and skeleton archers were all interrupted from their first attack.

Chu Qi discovered that all the summoned creatures had an additional -20% attack power.

Immediately after, the flames around the Fire Wolf Lizard retracted back into its body and spat out from its mouth.

But to Chu Qi, who had just obtained a fire-resistant technique, this attack didn’t even need to force him to use potions.

He summoned four more skeleton warriors and attacked.

12000

12000

…

The Fire Wolf Lizard roared and turned into a ball of light powder.

Only four or five balls of light were left on the ground.

Ding! Talent skill activated. All stat points obtained: 1. Passive skill [Howl]

[Howl]

Skill Description: Enemies nearby will have 20% reduced attack power.

Ding! Congratulations on leveling up to level 11. You have received 3 free stat points.

Chu Qi picked up the fallen object on the ground. As expected, the head of the Fire Wolf Lizard was also inside.

At the same time, an iron wrist guard with better attributes lit up Chu Qi’s eyes.

[Flame Wristguard]

Intelligence :+20

Defense :+30

A wrist guard that added intelligence. Chu Qi happened to have an empty seat, so he directly equipped it.

…

When Chu Qi was fighting the monsters just now, he realized that although he could complete the mission in his own area,

his level could no longer keep up.

And a Lava Turtle could provide 2000 experience points.

Therefore, Chu Qi planned to increase his level here so that it would be easier for him to dungeon later.

Chu Qi controlled his skeleton warriors and coordinated with the skeleton archers, constantly reaping the lives of the surrounding lava turtles.

Even a Lava Turtle with 20,000 HP could only withstand two attacks from the skeleton warrior.

Not long after, all the monsters around the Land of Lava had been cleared, and there wouldn’t be any more monsters spawning anytime soon.
