Chapter 62 The Elite Shark Monster Was Actually a Melee Mage
[Open the Golden Supply Crate to receive 8 experience points!]
[The player has obtained a total of 8 planks, 3 plastic, 3 iron nails, 2 iron plates, 1 gold ingot, 1 silver ingot, 1 charcoal, 1 spring clothing set, and 1 forging stone.]
[Open the wooden supply crate to receive 1 experience point!]
...
Pick up 1 copper ingot, reward 2 experience points, furnace cooldown time 15 minutes.
[Collect 3 pieces of refined steel, reward 10 experience points, furnace cooldown time 3 hours.]
After putting the steel into his backpack and taking it out again, it had cooled down. He then placed it in the marked wooden box next to the forging stone.
Materials required for weapon evolution of 【Shadow Dual Blades】: Forging Stone (8/15), Chaos Fang (0/20), Fine Steel (3/10), Corrupted Heart of the Ocean (46/1)
After being defeated by someone whose martial arts skills far surpassed his own, Shen Dixin's first thought was not to study hard, since he knew that one could not improve much in a short time.
She decided to increase external assistance, such as evolving weapons.
Equipment plays a crucial role in a player's strength. Having a gold weapon is like adding wings to a tiger, but the materials are really hard to collect.
Leaving aside the forging stone, this fine steel requires eight rare minerals and iron blocks to forge, and only three pieces are produced at a time, which will take quite a while.
The collection progress of Chaos Teeth has completely stalled; obtaining them is neither particularly difficult nor easy.
Because it only falls off sharks, and sharks rarely appear in shallow waters before the corresponding disaster.
Shen Dixin took out the incense and candles she had bought earlier and pondered, "Can this thing be used underwater?"
【Item Name: Bait Incense】
Item Quality: Blue
[Item Description: Light it, and it will emit a smell that will drive all living things mad. Be careful not to overdo it.]
She planned to try again when Soraya arrived, and if the marine life attracted was too difficult to handle, she could ask her for help in driving it away.
Incense and candles are merely blue props and have little impact on intelligent beings with clear self-awareness.
The boat sailed leisurely on the sea, and Chen Dixin sat on the fishing platform, casting his line and soon there was a bite.
Here, all is peaceful, but over there, the team card in the lava river's hand turns into specks of light. This is the second one, but when trying to bind it again, a prompt pops up.
A player can bind a maximum of three team-up records.
Someone else went looking for her? Lava River didn't think much of it. Anyway, he brought five thugs with him, so he could handle it no matter what. Did she have three heads and six arms?
"We can just find some more help."
Faced with Lu Mingang's question, Shen Dixin took the fish off the hook and calmly cast the next line.
The tension in the channel was obvious to Lu Mingang, who was worried that Shen Dixin might be attacked.
Although his fighting skills have improved slightly from those of street thugs after training, and he can be effective in combat, there will be more than just one or two enemies if they actually come out.
“Do we also use team cards? We should have two more at home.” Lu Mingang said, turning around to get them.
Chen Dixin remained calm and blinked. "Don't worry, I'll go get some people."
As she spoke, she extended an invitation to me to drink coffee and read fortune.
It's also a servant contract, but it gives them a high degree of freedom, with no restrictions except that they must be bound every time they go to the island.
Shen Dixin made it clear to them that regardless of whether they agreed to the contract or not, they would maintain the original cooperative relationship.
She sent the quest token directly to Coffee, which pointed to the profession of gardener, which can be summarized as a farmer with offensive capabilities. Whether or not Coffee changes professions is up to her personal choice.
Coffee, who was online at high intensity, rushed over, glanced at the offer briefly, and agreed. She even felt that a year was too short and wanted to sign a lifetime contract with the boss!
I'm a little hesitant about the outcome, but her hesitation isn't due to worry about Chen Dixin.
My Luck is in My Hands: Sister Chen, if we were to become a bonded pair, would my talents be of any use?
Shen Dixin gave an affirmative answer, which was one of the reasons she chose to have good fortune with me. [Gambler] can effectively increase the probability of rare islands appearing.
There were no objections from the other side, and they became Shen Dixin's third companion.
Lu Mingang immediately noticed that two more people had appeared in his friend list. How could they have bypassed him and added these people directly to his list?
He was puzzled, so he clicked on it and saw a line of small print at the top: "Old Shen's servant at AAA Materials Wholesale".
Lu Mingang: !!!
On second thought, signing a contract would indeed be the best option if he were to find a helper, but then he wouldn't be the one Shen Dixin trusted the most.
Lu Mingang subtly inquired, "Dixin, are the two newcomers coming with us too? What are their professions?"
"The farmers and sailors, they won't come with us."
"Alright!" Hearing that he was the only one who could stay by Shen Dixing's side, Lu Mingang was no longer flustered.
Shen Dixin created a small group chat for four people called "We Are a Loving Family." She sent red envelopes to Yunshi and Coffee in the group, saying that they would be in the same boat from now on, and strengthening their power would be useful.
In the farmers' group, coffee was given full control.
The three quickly accepted each other and learned for the first time that Shen Dixin was not a chef, and that all the dishes she sold were made by Lu Mingang.
Luck is on my side: Haha, those copycat chefs would be furious if they knew. They're so poor and destitute, relying entirely on my sister as their pillar of support, hypnotizing themselves that one day they'll also make it big. But after the server merge, they're doing quite well.
Coffee or Tea: No wonder he's the boss, Monster Hunter is so cool! I'm embarrassed to say I'm a farmer when I go out, the hard life of facing the yellow earth and turning my back to the sky is so bitter.
AAA Material Wholesaler Lao Shen: From now on, we'll be bound together when we go to the island. I remember to inform you of the island points in advance. There's a good chance of conflicts breaking out with players recently. How are your skills?
You wouldn't know unless you asked, but one of them used to practice Sanda (Chinese kickboxing) in real life, and now she just puts on brass knuckles and charges forward.
He has average athletic ability and hasn't been in many fights, but his secondary profession is a Gu Master, which allows him to create various forms of interference with enemies.
A Gu Master? Fortune tells me this is her new profession, which she just switched to yesterday!
From now on, I can gain experience by raising Gu worms, and I can send out different Gu worms to do different things. I will no longer have to be a sailor who is unloved by his parents!
Waiting for the ship to move on its own all day long is a way to gain experience and earn rewards, while those who work hard don't get as much reward as others. I feel like my luck is running out, and if I don't run away soon, I'll be corrupted by the sailors' minds in no time!
After learning that the gardener had offensive capabilities, Coffee also decided to complete the quest to change her class.
Shen Dixin was somewhat surprised. She didn't have high expectations for the two who had just joined the team. As long as they weren't afraid of fighting, everything else could be trained slowly. For now, it was enough that they didn't miss with the flashbangs.
She found a companion simply as a precaution, preparing for similar situations in the future.
*Cough*, she'll also take advantage of her A-level gambler talent; the more dangerous the place, the more she likes it!
At this stage, Shen Dixin's attributes are at the level of a mini-boss, not to mention that she has made full preparations. Five or six of them could not do anything to her, so there is no need to pay attention to Yan Jianghe and others.
The top two players on the leaderboard are indeed a threat, but unfortunately, a single channel simply can't gather that many top players.
After finding out the commonly used weapons, I carefully noted them down, preparing to find them for them when the opportunity arose. As for their equipment, I even changed them to a blue and purple mix.
Unfortunately, the two of them could only scrape together one piece of jewelry, and it was a common style with only two points of strength. There was nothing they could do; jewelry was simply too expensive at the moment.
...
As dusk approached, the second wave of the strange tide was about to begin, and whirlpools suddenly appeared on the sea surface.
The footboards on the fourth-class ships extend outward by one or two meters, making them less restrictive during combat.
This time, even Lu Mingang took his giant bone hammer and was on high alert, while Zhu Sha was on standby at all times. Heaven knows just how elite this so-called elite sea monster really is.
[A Level 6 Elite Shark Monster has appeared on the surface of the sea. Players are advised to take it seriously.]
A shark monster whose character level is on par with Shen Dixin!
The shark monster had bloodshot eyes. It waved the wooden staff with tattered strips of cloth hanging from its hand, and suddenly ten shark monsters leaped out from nowhere and pounced on Chen Dixin.
Emotions are a legal system.
Lu Mingang's expression hardened, and he unleashed a heavy blow without hesitation. After two weeks of training, he was no longer the disgusted man who had been disgusted by killing a sea monster.
He stopped two shark monsters, and Zhu Sha stopped three. A little delay was enough for Chen Dixin to clear the area. The two of them and their pet watched the elite shark monsters intently.
It seemed oblivious to the unfavorable situation on the field, dragging itself onto the platform, waving its hand to summon a group of sea monsters, and occasionally casting spells to slow them down.
Shen Dixin quickly judged that the sea monsters that had appeared were not likely to summon new helpers until they were all dead. She left the remaining few to be held back by Lu Mingang and Zhu Sha, while she slipped closer.
[The player dealt 36 damage to the Elite Shark Monster.]
[The player triggers a critical hit, dealing 54 damage to the elite shark monster.]
Critical hits, also known as critical strikes, deal three times the damage of a weapon's attack power, making a good weapon crucial.
However, after being hit twice, the sea monster seemed to be instantly infused with a soul, wielding its wooden staff and creating afterimages. Shen Dixin was caught off guard and took a blow.
She was startled. A melee mage!
As the saying goes, "an inch longer, an inch stronger," and when it starts dancing, it's really hard to know where to begin.
After thinking for a moment, Shen Dixin suddenly realized what was going on when he glanced at the health bar (424/440) on his bracelet.
She's wielding a stick, not a knife. Is she some kind of martial arts master? No, she's just an ordinary stat-challenged character!
She stepped forward, using her body to block the stick, and then chopped at it however she pleased! The relentless blows rained down on her.
It doesn't hurt! Chen Dixin grimaced as he tried to convince himself.
Fortunately, Zhu Sha was quick-witted and immediately came to help. Its aura wasn't entirely useless, but it was better than nothing, saving them from taking two hits.
Lu Mingang carried five of them by himself, his expression even more ferocious than Shen Dixin's.
[Player triggers a critical hit...]
[Congratulations, player, for triggering the talent effect! Damage dealt x5!]
Shen Dixin wiped away his sweat; the 270 points of damage seemed to have no effect on it.
This elite shark monster's movements look like its average stats are less than 20, so how come it has so much health? Even after taking away 700-800 of its health, it can still move freely. Is this what a boss is?
No, it has changed. Chen Dixin watched as the shark monster roared to the sky.
[The "Elite Shark Monster" has 10% HP remaining and enters a berserk state, increasing all attributes by 300% and unlocking a special skill.]
One hit took away 50 points of health! Shen Dixin dared not take it head-on anymore; with only half her health remaining, it seemed a bit dangerous.
She called Lu Mingang and Zhu Sha back to the boat, fighting and retreating as she went. After bandaging herself, she gulped down medicinal wine.
[Use a medical bandage to restore 20 health points.]
[Use medicinal wine to restore 15 health points.]
