Chapter 29 Ninefold Longbow, Truly Terrifying
Alan smiled. "No."
With that, he walked straight into the game dungeon.
[Dungeon difficulty: Hell level.]
Having already run this dungeon several times, Alan now found it very easy.
The main purpose of running this dungeon was to increase his health points and to farm skill books.
Because the skill "A Withered Tree Springing to Life Again" required sacrificing skill books to upgrade.
Although the rewards for clearing the dungeon were far less than the first clear, it was still a dungeon with four bosses.
In the blink of an eye, five hours passed!
Alan's health points increased from just over 70,000 to just over 100,000.
In five hours, he had increased his health points by thirty thousand.
This increase was quite considerable.
Besides the increase in health points, Alan's "A Withered Tree Springing to Life Again" also upgraded from two stars to three stars.
However, upgrading from three stars to four stars required sacrificing a thousand skill books, which was difficult even at Alan's abnormally high farming speed.
Moreover, with his health points breaking 100,000, his revival skill also upgraded to four stars.
Originally, it restored 50 health points per second, but now it directly increased to 500 health points per second.
With this recovery speed, ordinary players probably couldn't even dent Alan's health bar while he stood still.
Returning to the newbie village, David had not yet forged the golden longbow.
Alan chose to log off and eat.
'Looks like once my sister recovers a bit, I'll need to buy a nutrition pod,' Alan thought to himself.
Although the time spent eating offline wasn't long, it was still a disruption.
"Alan, following your strategy, I got a silver-grade broadsword with very strong attributes."
Alan smiled. Given James' three passive skills, achieving a silver-grade weapon was entirely within Alan's expectations.
"Next, you can head to Central City."
Alan said with a smile, "The most suitable city for warriors to develop is Lindataria.
"But James, remember, after you get to Central City, don't change your class lightly, even if it's a hidden class. It's best to ask me first."
"Got it."
After giving James a few simple instructions, Alan quickly started eating.
After the meal, he re-entered the game pod.
Returning to the newbie village, Alan headed straight for the blacksmith shop.
David saw Alan coming and gave a meaningful smile.
"Charles told me about your situation."
David's first words made Alan's heart skip a beat.
"Since you already know, I won't hide it from you. I want to kill Daniel. Will you help me?"
"Yes," Alan replied.
David nodded. "In that case, you can head to the cliff to the south. Charles will take you to Daniel's secret base. You and Charles will kill the guards there."
[David has given you a quest.]
[Quest objective: Kill the guards at Daniel's secret base.]
[Quest penalty: Unknown.]
[Quest reward: Unknown.]
Alan frowned. The quest penalty was actually unknown.
This was a bit troubling.
Would David retaliate if the quest failed?
It was entirely possible.
"Accept the quest."
After only a brief hesitation, Alan accepted the quest.
The storyline quest had progressed to this point; he had no reason to stop now.
David smiled with satisfaction and took out a golden longbow from the shop.
"Your golden longbow. I've forged it for you."
[Ninefold Longbow: Gold-grade.]
[Requirements: None.]
[Effect 1: Attack Power +500.]
[Effect 2: Attack Speed +1.]
[Effect 3: Critical Hit +20%.]
[Effect 4: Lifesteal +5%.]
[Effect 5: Health Points +2000.]
[Effect 6: Restores 100 Health Points per second.]
[Durability: 100.]
Alan's eyes lit up.
As expected, it was a custom-grade longbow.
These attributes were highly compatible with him.
The increase in attack power and health points was somewhat trivial.
But the other four attributes were nearly perfect.
"Thanks." Alan took the Ninefold Longbow.
"Charles is waiting for you at the cliff to the south. Go quickly," David said.
Alan nodded. With this gold-grade longbow, his combat power had reached a new level.
The south of the newbie village, the cliff!
The cliff here was bottomless.
In the previous life, some players believed there might be treasure at the bottom of the cliff.
They tried to jump off the cliff to find it.
But the result was immediate death upon jumping.
After some attempts, they eventually gave up on this futile and ineffective method.
When Alan arrived at the cliff, he saw a familiar figure.
It wasn't Charles!
It was Daniel.
The moment Alan saw Daniel, his heart skipped a beat.
"Ice King?"
Daniel was slightly surprised to see Alan here.
Apparently, he hadn't expected Alan to show up here.
Alan forced himself to stay calm and greeted, "Daniel."
"I heard you fought with Charles, and he escaped," Daniel said.
Alan nodded. "To my shame, the green python Charles released disrupted my attack rhythm."
Daniel nodded, "That was my oversight. I originally thought you could successfully poison him, so the green python wouldn't be released."
"I see." Alan nodded and took the initiative to ask, "What are you doing here, Daniel? Is there anything I can help you with?"
Daniel actually wanted to ask Alan why he was here, but Alan's proactive question caught him off guard.
"There's an extremely powerful monster sealed beneath our village. I'm responsible for guarding it."
Daniel continued, "Recently, I've sensed a force stirring which tried to break the monster's seal, so I came to check it out."
Alan feigned surprise. "Is that so?"
"It's a bloody lesson learned," Daniel said, "Back then, many sages sacrificed their lives to seal this monster, but now someone wants to release it."
Alan nodded. "I see. Those who want to release this monster are overly ambitious and deserve to be cut into pieces."
Daniel nodded. "Yes."
"Ice King, I actually have high expectatoons for you. If I'm not mistaken, those people are likely searching for Icefire Ore."
Daniel's expression was very serious. "If they find the Icefire Ore, the consequences will be unimaginable."
"If you're willing to help me, please go to the mine and stop Charles from finding the Icefire Ore."
Alan raised an eyebrow as he replied, "Alright, I'll do my best."
With that, he turned and walked towards the mine.
'Charles isn't here.'
'Why?'
'Because Daniel is here, so he hid?'
'Or is this all a setup from the beginning?'
'David doesn't fully trust me.'
'Sending me here is just a diversion, giving the old drunkard a chance to find the Icefire Ore.'
Thinking this way, Alan found it truly terrifying.
