Unlike other games that calculate a single overall level for player leveling, Fantasy World allows each player to choose from five different levels. However, like many classic online games, leveling up in Fantasy World also grants additional attribute points. These points directly impact six attributes: health, magicka, stamina, defense, agility, and attack power. Players can freely allocate these points, often choosing to maximize their strengths based on their class characteristics.
For example, Ye Miao is a professional swordsman, a melee physical attacker, so her health and stamina are high. However, compared to melee players with heavy swords, long swords, and large shields, swordsmen don't typically play the tank (meaning pulling aggro and carrying monsters) role in teamfights, so they don't need to overextend their health and stamina. Instead, she allocates a moderate amount of attribute points to attack damage, resulting in a relatively balanced output and carrying capacity.
Fang Yuming was different. As a dart-throwing assassin, he possessed a ranged physical attack. He fought monsters from a distance, and his chances of getting hurt were much lower than in close combat. Therefore, health wasn't as important; attack power and agility were. Therefore, he focused almost all his attribute points on attack and agility, leaving the other stats to automatically increase through leveling.
So, in the current situation, Ye Miao, who was at level 100 in combat, had 7000 stamina, while Fang Yuming, at level 39 in combat, barely had 1200. Even though the assassin's equipment was light and didn't consume as much stamina as Ye Miao's heavy armor, the journey from the Overnight Rich Camp to T City was no easy task for him.
But this time, the situation was much better than Fang Yuming had imagined. His previous trips to T City had required him to drink a potion to replenish his energy, but this time, he still had some energy left even after entering T City.
This is probably the impact of the stone house's buff effect.
Around eleven o'clock, the two arrived at their destination. Fang Yuming replenished his energy to avoid disrupting his monster-hunting efforts. His childhood friend, Tan Kening, had already arrived and was waiting at a fire exit in the shopping center. The fire exit was located in a narrow alley on the west side of the mall. Ye Miao followed Fang Yuming deeper into the alley. Tan Kening spotted two dark figures from a distance and instinctively adopted a defensive stance.
When they came closer, he recognized Fang Yuming and finally relaxed: "Here they are?" Tan Kening smiled, and his eyes immediately noticed the purple clothes on Fang Yuming, and he couldn't help but feel surprised.
Fang Yuming introduced Ye Miao at the right time: "This is my childhood friend, Tan Kening." He then said to Tan Kening, "This is the leader of our camp, Ye Miao."
"Hello." The two shook hands politely. Ye Miao looked towards the emergency exit next to him and asked directly, "Are we entering from here?"
"Yeah." Fang Yuming nodded. "This road leads directly to the basement. It's closer than going downstairs from the shopping area, and there are fewer strange things."
Compared to the stairs leading to the emergency exit, the number of monsters entering through the main gate is simply insane!
Fang Yuming first visited the mall two days after the apocalypse. He was looking for supplies at the supermarket in the basement, but upon entering, he saw monsters swarming out. Fortunately, the assassin's agility allowed him to run quickly, and after he'd gained some distance, the monsters gave up. Otherwise, he would have been dead.
Ye Miao nodded, and without thinking, he took the lead in entering the security door, turned to the stairs on the right, and walked down to the basement.
Fang Yuming and Tan Kening followed closely behind. Tan Kening looked at Fang Yuming's purple hurricane boots and silver-striped belt and jokingly said, "Where did you get such good equipment? I'm really envious."
He glanced at Ye Miao who was walking in front of him and lowered his voice: "Why do you have to follow others? Can't you form your own team? And you follow... and you follow..."
At this point he was stuck, not knowing how to describe it.
It’s not that there’s anything wrong with the petite girl walking in front, but judging from the current situation, Fang Yuming’s combat level is definitely very high among the players. Hanging out with such a little loli... is weird!
Fang Yuming smiled faintly and touched the silver belt with a faint purple glow: "Envy?"
"Ah, yes."
Fang Yuming: "Our boss gave it to me."
After saying that, he quickened his pace to catch up with Ye Miao, leaving Tan Kening behind with a hint of showing off.
Tan stunned Kening was speechless for a moment, then suddenly came to his senses and hurriedly chased after him: "Are you still hiring in your camp? Boss! Boss, I used to do close-up magic, but now I'm a melee mage! Boss, look at me!"
Ye Miao burst into laughter and was about to turn around to talk when a green light suddenly appeared at the corner of the stairs, followed by the monster's roar.
But the monster did not approach rashly. It seemed to be lurking in the underground corridor connected to the stairs, watching their movements.
Tan Kening also noticed the green light and shuddered unexpectedly. He grabbed Fang Yuming's arm and asked, "Could it be..."
The last time they were here, they'd encountered a [Mutated Blood Corpse]. The [Mutated Blood Corpse] glowed green, had more skills than a normal ghoul, possessed ridiculously high attack power, and could even inflict poison. It was incredibly formidable, and a single level 30 mutated ghoul nearly killed two of them, who were in their thirties and forties.
However, before he could finish his question, Ye Miao said, "It's a mutant blood corpse. It likes to stay where there are other blood corpse monsters. It has many skills and can spray poisonous smoke. You should stay away from it."
“Hiss, what you said…” Tan Kening wanted to say that she looked down on people, but at the same time he saw her stretch her hands behind her shoulders and draw out a pair of sharp swords at the same time.
The next second, the little girl in front of him bolted! She leaped down the stairs in two steps, her twin ponytails swaying left and right with her steps. On her last leap, she used the opposite wall to trigger a double jump, then soared down through the air, piercing the mutant corpse!
The battle is triggered and the monster panel pops up.
[Name: Mutated Blood Corpse]
[Level: 45]
[Health: 7100, Mana: 4500]
[Attack: 1800, Agility: 2200, Defense: 1600]
"Level 45?!" Tan Kening's scalp tingled, and his voice broke in fear. "Come back soon!!!"
Before he finished speaking, numbers with various special effects jumped into the air during the fight!
The red numbers above the enemy's (mutated blood corpse) head indicating health loss: [-1400] [-1000] [Critical Hit -3500]
The orange number above the teammate's (Ye Miao) head indicating health loss: [-120] [-160] [-170] [Invalid] [-150]
After a few brief seconds, the enraged mutant blood corpse spewed out a thick green poisonous mist.
Tan Kening collapsed and held his head: "Ahhhh——"
Ye Miao was too lazy to dodge, so he crossed his swords and slashed them in front of the mutated blood corpse.
[Critical Hit -1500]
A large black and red fork was scratched on the giant green head of the bloody corpse, and a thick and disgusting liquid was flowing out, but it was staggering and did not fall to the ground for a while.
Ye Miao frowned and impatiently kicked it over. The mutated blood corpse finally fell to the ground, splashing a cloud of dust.
The whole process was fast, smooth, fluid, and simple.
Tan·Scalp tingling·Kening: "..."
What just happened?
With a "bang", the monster's corpse turned into a puff of smoke and disappeared without a trace. Instead, the dropped rewards floated in the air, emitting a faint luster in the smoke.
Tan·stunned·Kening: What a huge bloody corpse!
Ye Miao looked at the newly fallen staff in front of him speechlessly.
The panel displays:
[Item: Heavy Poison Staff]
【Quality: Purple】
Description: Weapon. When attacking, there's a 25% chance of poisoning enemies within range, causing them to lose 1%-3% of their maximum health per second for 6.5 seconds. After the effect ends, a random enemy unit will be stun-poisoned for 2 seconds, unable to move or cast any active skills.
Durability: 300/300
Ye Miao: System, I suspect you are playing tricks on me, and I have evidence.
Lately, she'd been diligently killing monsters daily, earning her a good amount of gear. She'd gotten purple-tier boots and a belt for the assassin Fang Yuming, and a decent wooden staff each for the healer Fang Shuqin and the pharmacist Zhu Yihua. Furthermore, several other members of the camp with impressive combat skills had also received purple gear from her.
But the only purple equipment she has now is the heavy armor she got when she defeated the Night Demon. She has never encountered any useful swordsman equipment since then.
Today, she just met the melee mage Tan Kening, and the first piece of equipment dropped was a heavy staff suitable for melee mages.
Outrageous.
absurd!
Ye Miao gritted his teeth and picked up the staff. He took a deep breath, smiled, and turned around: "Do you want equipment?"
“?!” Tan Kening was flattered.
Ye Miao's smile deepened: "I'll sell it to you at a bargain price, 4500 gold."
“…” Tan Kening’s smile froze.
She seemed to have known that he wouldn't have so much money. After saying that, she put the staff into her backpack, picked up the other dropped items one by one, and continued walking down the stairs.
But she knew in her heart that Tan Kening would have to pay sooner or later!
Because the player levels are not high now, most people dare not challenge high-level monsters, so good equipment is rarely dropped. Most players are still wearing white clothes, and they are considered lucky if they can have one or two blue clothes.
So, you can imagine how tempting the purple gear is. She'd once stumbled upon players selling purple gear on the street in T City, asking prices as high as 7,000 or 8,000 yuan, with no room for bargaining. Her price of 4,500 yuan was a fair and friendly price.
So in the short journey that followed, Tan Kening didn't even care about joining the camp. His mind was full of the magic wand, and he was determined to borrow money from Fang Yuming.
After defeating a few more ordinary blood corpses, the three finally reached B4, where the boss was. Their sight passed through a closed civil air defense door that had been penetrated by an external force, and a scene of numerous figures came into view.
This was originally the underground garage of a shopping mall. Suddenly, another world descended upon us. Many people who were shopping at the time wanted to drive away, but were blocked by the bloody corpses spawned by the system.
More than ten days later, the garage was a mess. The bodies of the victims had long since disappeared, and the scattered cars were covered in a thick layer of dust.
Seventy or eighty blood corpses were wandering aimlessly in the gaps. Near the center of the basement stood a stone tablet engraved with strange runes. The blood corpse next to the stone tablet was particularly tall, with a dark red name hanging above its head, symbolizing the identity of the boss: [Blood Corpse Leader].
Ye Miao moved his elbow slightly and touched Yu Ming below him: "Hit it."
Tan Kening held his breath: "Ah?"
Ye Miao explained: "Call the leader and see the specific information."
Tan Kening subconsciously wanted to persuade: "Let's clear out the small monsters first. If we hit the leader, they will—"
Before he could finish his words, a silver dart, wrapped in a gust of wind, blew past his ear and pierced the leader.
Seeing a [-320] pop up above the leader's head, the panel Ye Miao wanted jumped in front of him:
[Name: Blood Corpse Leader]
[Level: 57]
[Health: 8800, Mana: 5300]
[Attack: 2700, Agility: 3500, Defense: 2100]
Tan Kening exclaimed, "Fuck, seven levels in two days!"
At the same time, the leader and seventy or eighty monsters rushed over!
"Waaaaaaaa--" the monsters screamed.
"Ahhhhh——" Tan Kening screamed in shock, holding the wooden staff tightly in both hands.
Fang Yuming glanced at him with disdain, pulled out three darts and threw them at once, accurately hitting the three monsters.
Ye Miao leaned back, took a step to gain a running start, and then rushed out, clutching both swords. Tan Kening gasped and nearly fainted. Fang Yuming's heart tightened as well. Although they were fighting from a distance, he closed a few steps and leaped up to throw another seven or eight darts.
"Is she sick?!" Tan Kening cried out in despair as he swung his staff and attacked the monsters. Fang Yuming threw a silver dart that hit a nearby monster, and the flame effect of the silver belt instantly set it ablaze. It screamed and slammed around, setting a group of his teammates on fire.
"Fuck, you're so awesome!" Tan Kening exclaimed and smashed the monster in front of him with a stick, causing its brain to burst.
At the same time, Ye Miao whispered: "Shadowless Sword!"
The skill was triggered immediately. Tan Kening turned around to confirm whether the reckless and violent loli was still alive. He only saw a blurry afterimage flying among the monsters, knocking down the monsters wherever it passed, and screams were heard incessantly.
What?!
Tan Kening tried hard to understand the situation but couldn't see clearly in the dim light. He could only ask dully, "What is that thing?"
Fang Yuming raised an eyebrow in dissatisfaction: "Who are you calling a thing?"
"?" Ye Miao had just finished using his 10-second skill and stopped right in front of Fang Yuming. He heard both of his words clearly, then stopped firmly and asked him with his head tilted, "Who are you calling a piece of shit?"
While he was speaking, he kept stabbing with his two swords. He turned his hands and stabbed fiercely, knocking down several more monsters and revealing rewards.
The author has something to say:
Tan Danmu Kening: What the fuck is this!!! Is this fucking reasonable!!!
