Within Wolf King Valley, Su Yu was also watching the Level Ranking.
"Thousand Cups Not Drunk, Iced Tea, Cangshan Youjing... I never expected these experts to make a name for themselves so early." Su Yu sighed.
Cangshan Youjing was a famous grinder from Skycutter Guild, an expert in game lore with an exceptionally keen nose for Hidden Quests;
Iced Tea was a lone wolf, the number one assassin in his previous life, with an unshakable standing in the gaming world;
As for Thousand Cups Not Drunk, that guy was very interesting.
Thousand Cups Not Drunk was also a lone wolf, and he was the most legendary figure in the early days of the game.
In the real world, he had been born into a martial arts family, and his attainments in martial arts were unquestionably number one in the entire Chinese martial arts circle.
Moreover, what he practiced was not flashy, performance-oriented martial arts, but the real deal!
After entering the game, his outstanding skills meant that not a single regular monster could touch him. It was as though he had a built-in 100% dodge rate, making him the fastest-leveling player in the game.
However, he did not like the Assassin class, believing its sneaky ways did not suit his personality, so he had never taken the game too seriously in the early stages.
When the Third Expansion Pack, "Panda People Empire," went live, four new classes were added to the game: Martial Artist, Monk, Taoist, and Sorcerer.
Thousand Cups Not Drunk changed into the Martial Artist class through a Hidden Quest. Then, with his extraordinary strength and heaven-defying luck, he rose at lightning speed and became someone capable of standing shoulder to shoulder with Snowflake Leopard in the Third Expansion Pack.
These three could be considered among the very best players in the game.
Su Yu casually sent friend requests to Thousand Cups Not Drunk and Iced Tea.
After waiting for a while, he received no response.
Perhaps the two of them had also been flooded with friend requests from countless players and were scrambling to disable friend invitations.
Su Yu shook his head and opened his attribute panel.
After reaching level 10, Su Yu's attribute panel became:
Character: Kexing Level: lv10 Class: Mage Bloodline: Star Bloodline (Legendary) Attributes: Strength: 14, Agility: 14, Intelligence: 46, Constitution: 14, Luck: 10 Spell Power: 66 Health: 170 Mana: 1280 Defense: 81 Spell Critical Strike Rate: 0 Movement Speed: 5.8 Experience Points: 3/12000 Wealth: 7,378,758,150 Psionic Coins Equipment: Staff of the Village Chief lv5 (Golden Rare), Hillside Sheep's Leather Hood lv4 (Rare), Goddess's Tear (Epic) Skills: Magic Missile (Rare), Star Point Hand (Legendary)... Lightning Shield (Rare).
Reaching level 10 had brought a huge improvement.
Both his equipment and skills could be upgraded again, raising them to Epic Quality.
"Ding! Spend 10,000 Psionic Coins to enhance Magic Missile (Rare)?"
"Confirm!"
"Ding! Please select Magic Missile's enhancement path: 1. Elemental Burst: After hitting an enemy, deals 30% damage to all enemies within 4 meters; 2. Magic Manipulation: Can be guided within a small area after being released."
"Note: The enhancement path can be changed for 10,000 Psionic Coins."
He could actually choose an enhancement path when upgrading to Epic Quality?
"Choose 2." Su Yu picked one at random. He did not use this spell anyway.
"Congratulations! Magic Missile (Rare) has been upgraded to Magic Missile (Epic)."
A dazzling Golden Streamer wrapped around Su Yu's Magic Missile skill icon before exploding with a bang.
The Magic Missile skill icon turned a pleasing purple.
Su Yu did not stop and continued upgrading.
"Ding! Please select Lightning Arrow's enhancement path: 1. Hundred Thousand Volts: After hitting a target, the trigger rate of Paralysis is increased to 100%; 2. Forked Lightning: Has a 50% chance to hit one additional target."
"Choose 1."
"Ding! Please select Ice Arrow's enhancement path: 1. Bone Chilling: Adds a 15% chance to freeze the enemy; 2. Ice Bloodline: Every third cast of this spell costs no Mana."
"Choose 1."
"Ding! Please select Ice Shield's enhancement path: 1. Physical Barrier: Negates the first instance of physical damage you receive; 2. Magical Barrier: Negates the first instance of magical damage you receive. (Note: The negated damage cannot exceed ten times the shield's maximum value.)"
"Choose 1."
"Ding! Please select Chain Lightning's enhancement path: 1. Elemental Echo: Has a 20% chance to cast an additional instance of this spell; 2. Multi-Bounce: Increases the number of damage bounces to 5."
"Choose 2."
"Ding! Please select Blink's enhancement path: 1. Flash: This spell gains two charges; 2. Warp: Teleportation distance increases by 5 meters."
"Choose 1."
"Ding! Please select Invisibility's enhancement path: 1. Concealer: Cooldown reduced by 1 minute; 2. Unveil Strike: The damage of the first spell or attack you release while invisible is increased by 30%."
"Choose 1."
Su Yu enhanced all of his skills once.
Once skill quality reached Epic, the upgrades no longer simply increased attributes, but also added extra effects.
Some effects were not particularly useful to Su Yu, such as Ice Arrow's Mana-saving effect.
But some effects were extremely powerful!
For example, Ice Shield's Physical Barrier effect.
Su Yu made a rough calculation. With Ice Shield active, he should currently be able to negate the first attack from a level 30 Warrior or Archer. In the real world, blocking a handgun bullet would be entirely possible.
And as his level increased, this effect would only become stronger!
At higher levels, even withstanding a missile explosion would be no big deal!
Besides his skills, his equipment could also be enhanced.
However, after looking through it all, the Staff of the Village Chief was the only piece worth enhancing. There was no need to enhance his other cloth armor for now.
At this stage, his damage was more than sufficient. It was better to keep wearing two movement-speed items, making leveling and questing much faster.
If he encountered a boss he could not defeat in the future, or if his leveling speed slowed down, it would not be too late to gradually switch to higher-level cloth armor.
Thus, Su Yu only enhanced the Staff of the Village Chief.
"Ding! Please select the Staff of the Village Chief's enhancement path: 1. Added skill: Blink; 2. Spell Power +10."
"It actually has an 'added skill'?" Su Yu's eyes lit up.
Without a moment's hesitation, he chose 1.
Added skills generally only appeared on Legendary Quality equipment. He had not expected the enhanced Staff of the Village Chief to gain an added skill option!
Adding Blink to the Staff of the Village Chief meant that even if Su Yu did not know the skill, he could still cast Blink through the staff.
Furthermore, the Blink on the Staff of the Village Chief did not share a cooldown with his own Blink.
In other words, with the extra charge gained from upgrading Blink, Su Yu could cast three Blinks in rapid succession! His survival ability had improved immensely!
