After seeing the attributes of the Tier 3 Jade Poison Bead, Ye Yu Fei Fei and the other two were ecstatic, thinking that the trade was incredibly worthwhile. They wasted no more time and immediately relayed this secret to the rest of the Night Rain Family, instructing them to prepare.
Afterward, Ye Yu Fei Fei looked at Yan Hua Yi Leng and said with a smile, "Thank you, Sister Yan Hua. Knowing this secret in advance will bring endless benefits to our Night Rain Family."
"It was just a fair trade," Yan Hua Yi Leng replied with her usual composure.
Knowing Yan Hua Yi Leng's personality, Ye Yu Fei Fei didn't mind. She then glanced towards the west gate outside the Novice Village. "Sister Yan Hua, Brother Ye Luo, are you heading outside the west gate to hunt monsters? According to our Night Rain Family's intelligence network, the west gate outside the Novice Village is filled with miasma, and most of the monsters there are skilled in poison attacks. You should be careful."
Without a word, Yan Hua Yi Leng turned and walked towards the west gate outside the Novice Village. After bidding farewell to Ye Yu Fei Fei and the other two, Ye Luo followed her.
"Experts are indeed experts. At only level 16, they dare to venture into an area densely populated with monsters in their late twenties," Ye Yu Kuang Ge remarked. His tone then shifted. "However, once we equip the Tier 3 Jade Poison Beads, we'll also dare to go to the Poisonous Swamp."
"Give the order for our Night Rain Family to dispatch a team to the Toad Slope at the south gate of the Novice Village to stake it out. We must seize all the Toad Kings. That way, even if others know this secret, they won't have any Toad Kings to kill," Ye Yu Fei Fei commanded. She then looked at the Jade Poison Bead in her hand. "Select ten trustworthy individuals to hunt the Demonized Scorpions. Let's get everyone equipped with the Jade Poison Beads as soon as possible. This way, after defeating monsters with potent poison, we'll have a chance to drop Jade Poison Beads."
Nodding, Ye Yu Kuang Ge headed towards the north gate of the Novice Village with the Jade Poison Beads.
Glancing in the direction of the west gate outside the Novice Village, Ye Yu Fei Fei also went to the north gate of the Novice Village.
Setting aside Ye Yu Fei Fei's arrangements for now, let's talk about Ye Luo and Yan Hua Yi Leng as they headed towards the Poisonous Swamp.
"Yan Hua, you're amazing. You traded a secret that will soon be worthless for two skill books, and one of them is a rare type." Ye Luo was slightly excited when he mentioned the two skill books. "A group kill skill. Although for other Archers, using a group kill skill to hunt monsters in the early stages is suicidal, it's different for us. Our powerful equipment allows us to handle monster crowds with ease."
Nodding, Yan Hua Yi Leng didn't immediately learn the skill. Instead, she looked at Ye Luo. "Relatively speaking, [Soul Shocking Slash] is more valuable. I didn't expect to get a rare skill book in the Novice Village, and it's a Swordsman's control skill. Ye Luo, you learn it and let me see what this skill is like."
Nodding, Ye Luo placed his hand on the skill book. A white light flashed, and another skill was added to his skill slot:
[Soul Shocking Slash] (Active Skill * Beginner)
Skill Description: Upon learning, Swordsman players will infuse their sword shadows with soul power, dealing 120% damage to a single target and stunning them for 1 second. The skill consumes 50 mana and has a cooldown of 20 seconds.
Skill Proficiency: Beginner 0/(1000/Skill CD Time)
"A control skill, and it deals slightly higher damage than ordinary professional skills. It truly lives up to being a rare skill," Yan Hua Yi Leng commented. She then instructed, "Quickly level up the skill. Based on my estimation, the damage will increase to 140% and the stun duration will increase to 3 seconds. This, combined with my [Frozen Arrow], will allow us to do many things."
If it could indeed stun the target for 3 seconds after reaching advanced level, combined with Yan Hua Yi Leng's [Frozen Arrow], that would be 6 seconds. This would undoubtedly allow them to do many things, and it wouldn't be a simple case of one plus one.
Knowing this, Ye Luo nodded. He looked at Yan Hua Yi Leng. "Yan Hua, you should learn that Volley of Arrows too. Let me see a skill from after the first or second advancement in advance."
Nodding, a white light flashed, and Yan Hua Yi Leng also learned the skill book. She then sent an illustration:
[Volley of Arrows] (Active Skill * Beginner)
Skill Description: Upon learning, Archers can instantly unleash thousands of arrows, covering all hostile targets within a 10-meter radius not exceeding 15 meters away, dealing 110% damage. It consumes 50 mana and has a cooldown of 30 seconds.
Skill Proficiency: Beginner 0/(1000/Skill CD Time)
Overall, it was a very powerful skill. With this skill, Ye Luo and Yan Hua Yi Leng's monster hunting speed would significantly increase.
"Not bad, a very powerful group kill skill, especially the attack range," Ye Luo praised. However, he didn't receive a response from Yan Hua Yi Leng. She was examining something, and her beautiful eyes, visible beyond her veil, showed a hint of surprise.
Yan Hua Yi Leng, who was always calm, even a bit indifferent, had never shown such an expression before. This made Ye Luo very curious, and he realized she must have encountered something very magical.
A few seconds later, Yan Hua Yi Leng returned to normal and saw Ye Luo's curiosity. She didn't explain but directly sent him an illustration:
[Ice Spirit * Volley of Arrows] (Active Skill * Beginner)
Skill Description: This is the advanced skill for Ice Spirit Archers after learning [Volley of Arrows]. It allows them to infuse Ice Spirit Power into energy arrows, instantly unleashing thousands of arrows, covering all hostile targets within a 10-meter radius not exceeding 15 meters away, dealing 120% damage, with an additional 100 points of ice damage. It also slows down the target, with the slow effect depending on the player's [Ice Spirit Power] level. It consumes 100 mana and has a cooldown of 30 seconds.
Skill Proficiency: Beginner 0/(1000/Skill CD Time)
"Uh, in the game Heavenly Tribulation, skills can also mutate?" Ye Luo was stunned, then murmured, "This is so powerful. The attack damage has increased significantly, and the additional 100 points of ice damage isn't much. The most important thing is that it can also slow down the target. This can be considered a control skill as well."
"I also didn't expect skills to advance. But thinking about it, it makes sense. The reason hidden professions are powerful is not only due to their different growth potential but also their skills. If their skills were the same as others, there would be nothing special about them," Yan Hua Yi Leng said. Seeing Ye Luo's slightly envious expression, she pondered for a moment. "You will also take on a hidden profession in the future."
"Yan Hua, is this how you comfort people?" Ye Luo asked, his tone carrying a hint of playfulness. "Honestly, you're not very good at comforting people."
A hint of playful coldness flashed in her beautiful eyes, and Yan Hua Yi Leng's voice carried a slight emotion. "Sister Feng taught me this. Whatever others envy, you should bless them with it in the future. She said it's very effective, but I didn't expect it to not work..."
"Well, Sister Feng is right, but your delivery is a bit, a bit too direct," Ye Luo explained. After a long pause, seeing the bewilderment in Yan Hua Yi Leng's eyes, he gave up on lecturing and changed the subject. "Yan Hua, what do you think of Ye Yu Fei Fei?"
Getting back to business, Yan Hua Yi Leng returned to her normal demeanor, her tone much calmer. "She's not simple at all. From the respectful attitude of other Night Rain Family members towards her, it's clear she's very good at management. The fact that she realized the secret of the Jade Poison Bead so quickly and traded with us shows she's a very decisive person."
"What if I told you she previously invited me to join the Night Rain Family and offered me the position of vice-guild leader?" Ye Luo brought this up as well.
Her smooth brow furrowed slightly, and Yan Hua Yi Leng's tone became a bit more serious. "If that's the case, she's not just decisive; she also has strong ambitions. Perhaps she aims to make the Night Rain Family one of the top ten guilds in the country."
"Yes, she's very ambitious. I feel the same way," Ye Luo said. Then, remembering something, he continued, "Back at the south gate of the Novice Village, I was stopped by Ye Yu Kuang Ren and the other two..."
Ye Luo recounted his initial encounter with Ye Yu Kuang Ren.
"That was the first time we met, and the encounter was very unpleasant, even creating significant conflict," Ye Luo said. His tone then shifted. "The second time I saw her was during the Wolf King hunt. Back then, she leveraged our relationship to quickly resolve the conflict and then establish a cooperative relationship. I have to admit, her methods are very effective."
"Yes, she's a formidable character. She'll become even more troublesome in time," Yan Hua Yi Leng stated calmly. Her tone then returned to normal. "Fortunately, our current relationship is quite good, at least a cooperative one. If she's smart, she'll continue to cooperate with us. At the very least, she won't clash with us for a long time."
"Yes, that's a good thing," Ye Luo nodded. Just as he was about to say something, his communicator suddenly beeped. After a brief apology, he answered the call.
"Brother Ye, how did you offend people from the Heavenly Alliance? Are you alright? They've issued something called the Heavenly Order in the online gaming world, saying they'll hunt you down at all costs and prevent you from leaving the Novice Village."
With such a concerned tone and that familiar address, it was obvious who was on the other end of the communicator.
"I'm fine. It's just a group of people playing the victim," Ye Luo replied. Feeling Zhi Yue's concern, his heart warmed slightly, and his tone softened considerably. "The Heavenly Alliance coveted my equipment. I killed a few of their people, and then they falsely accused me of relying on my good equipment to kill their people. I didn't expect them to make such a big fuss, to the point where you all found out."
"Hmph, I knew they'd play the victim. They're a notorious bunch, how detestable," Zhi Yue snorted, then comforted him. "Brother Ye, don't worry. Although the Heavenly Alliance is a bit troublesome, Sister Feng has already announced in the online gaming world that you belong to the Misty Pavilion. If the Heavenly Alliance dares to touch you, she'll destroy the Heavenly Alliance."
"Uh, this..." Ye Luo gave a wry smile, not expecting the Pavilion Master of the Misty Pavilion to protect him so fiercely. "There's no need to make such a big deal out of it. This way, I'll be indebted to the Misty Pavilion, and it will be even harder to refuse them in the future."
"Hehe, then join the Misty Pavilion with me," Zhi Yue giggled. Then, as if remembering something, her smile widened. "Not only Sister Feng, but the guild leader of the Fine Wine Family, God of Wine Dukang, also spoke up for you. He said that this rabble from the Heavenly Alliance must have coveted your equipment, and since they failed to rob you, they resorted to playing the victim."
"The people from the Fine Wine Family are indeed speaking out righteously. That's quite good," Ye Luo praised. His tone then shifted. "I'll have to thank them properly when I have the chance, and perhaps we can exchange ideas."
