Chapter 3: The King In The Shadows

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

As Lin Yi walked out of the slime forest, he was greeted by a towering mountain.

At its foot, Level 6 demonic boars with dark skin and two tusks were shuttling back and forth.

At this moment, Lin Yi retrieved his stats panel:

Character: Fenghua

Lin Yi had added another skill to his Level 3 skill besides Fireball: Fire Blast.

Fire Blast was the upgraded version of Fireball. As the damage increased, the energy consumption and energy storage time also increased.

Other than that, Lin Yi’s current equipment was probably the most complete. They were:

Baggy Robe Lv.1. Ordinary

Cotton Pants Lv.0. Ordinary

Sage Staff Lv.3. Rare

Leather Gloves Lv.1. Ordinary

Buckskin Belt Lv.0. Normal

Broken Hood Lv.0. Normal

Cotton Shoes Lv.0. Normal

Broken Ring Lv.1. Normal

Rough necklace Lv.2. Normal

The Sage Staff was Lin Yi’s first rare equipment. The additional 5 intelligence points from the equipment gave him an additional level of damage.

After all, he only had 5 free attribute points to level up in this game.

As for the rest of the equipment, there was nothing much to talk about.

It was unbelievable enough for a low-level monster like a slime to drop two rare pieces of equipment.

Lin Yi looked at the terrain and found a place with few monsters, demonic wild boars, all over the mountains.

In his eyes, these demonic boars had become a moving equipment warehouse, and most of them bore one or two pieces of equipment.

However, anything blue was particularly eye-catching—rare equipment with a relatively low drop rate.

Lin Yi didn’t hesitate anymore. He carefully walked around the demonic boars and found a wide area to start channeling the fireball spell.

A high-temperature fireball the size of a watermelon landed on the demonic boars.

Bang!

A single skill had caused the boar’s health to drop by a large chunk. Sensing the human provocation, the creature howled and charged at Lin Yi.

Just as the boar was about to get close, the Fireball’s channeling bar filled up.

Bang!

After consuming two of Lin Yi’s skills, the demonic boar’s health bar started to flicker.

However, with its speed, it was obvious that it wouldn’t give Lin Yi another chance to cast a spell.

Just as the boar was about to collide with Lin Yi, the man dodged the attack with a seemingly casual move.

The demonic boar couldn’t slow down because it had used too much force, and it only stopped after charging a certain distance.

Undoubtedly, the boar felt like it was being played with, and Lin Yi could clearly see the green smoke steaming out of its snout.

He didn’t care about it, though, and finished channeling the fireball spell.

Bang!

The demonic boar let out an unwilling howl and fell to the ground, dropping the blue cloak that Lin Yi had seen.

Sylvie’s Cloak

Defensive Equipment

Quality: Rare

Physical Defense: 12

Magic Defense: 15

HP: 20

Level: 3

Additional attribute 1: Constitution +5

Additional attribute 2: When attacked, 10% chance of triggering Sylvie’s blessing. Recovers 10 hp every second for 5 seconds.

The cloak that Sylvie used when she was young. Seemed to have lost its former glory as time passed.

Looking at the equipment in front of him, Lin Yi’s eyes lit up. Not only was it an excellent dual attribute, but it also had a healing attribute.

Although the word ‘probability’ seemed a little ridiculous at this point, the so-called ‘probability’ could sometimes bear an unexpected effect.

However, to Lin Yi, this was a very useful attribute.

In this game, there was a term called ‘killing monsters without injuries.’

The process of Lin Yi killing the demonic boar seemed casual, but it was actually the result of his meticulous calculation.

In other words, everything was within his expectations.

No matter what class it was, as long as they didn’t encounter a lock-on attack, they could basically use positioning or other means to avoid getting hit.

Small monsters like wild boars might look fierce, but they were actually clumsy.

If one wanted to, it was actually easy to avoid the attack of wild boars, at least for Lin Yi.

Of course, this only applied to one-on-one situations.

If there were two enemies or more, it was obviously impossible for a weak mage to farm monsters like this without getting hurt.

According to his calculations, Lin Yi could kill four demonic wild boars in a row with full mana before he needed to meditate to recover.

According to the experience given by the demonic boars, he had to farm at least eleven of them before he could level up again.

Thus, Lin Yi began to level up with that goal in mind.

Because of his clairvoyance ability, he naturally wouldn’t let go of the plump, black swine that happened to be wandering around on the slope with his equipment. It was a perfect opportunity to level up and farm equipment.

The only thing that wasn’t perfect was that… all he could see were white equipment and some unnecessary materials.

Hence, time passed by as Lin Yi continued farming monsters tirelessly.

Just as he reached Level 4, he had an idea.

There was a thief!

And it was a thief who had learned stealth.

The thought made Lin Yi exclaim in surprise.

Wasn’t stealth a skill that thieves could only learn after changing classes at Level 10?

Most players were still at Level 2, yet someone had already learned stealth!

Even someone like Lin Yi, who had been reborn, wouldn’t be able to do something like this.

…..

Beside a boulder, not far from Lin Yi.

A man hiding in the shadows was also looking at the man standing next to a pile of demonic boar corpses with a shocked expression.

While others were still fighting to the death over a deer, this man was actually able to solo Level 6 monsters.

If he hadn’t seen it with his own eyes, no one would believe it even if he told them.

Fenghua?

He had never heard of this name in other games.

Could it be some hidden game boss?

It wasn’t someone he could afford to offend.

Just as Scarlet Eye was about to quietly retreat, a voice suddenly spoke.

“Stop hiding. Come out.”

Scarlet Eye’s foot that was about to take a step forward suddenly stopped.

‘Is it me?’

How could he possibly see me in stealth?

However, it was precisely because of this that Scarlet Eye became even more determined to leave—such acute vigilance was not something an ordinary player could possess.

This person was definitely a veteran god-tier player.

Chi Tong didn’t want to interact with such a person.

However, just because Chi Tong didn’t want to, it didn’t mean that Lin Yi didn’t.

Lin Yi said confidently,

“You should be hiding behind those two steles, right?”


Chi Tong was stunned.

A skinny figure appeared behind the two ordinary steles.

Chi Tong’s eyes were filled with confusion.

“How did you find me?”

“Chi Tong!”

This time, Lin Yi’s turn to look at the skinny man in surprise.

Glory Of The Gods had been running for three years in his previous life, and after the War Of The Gods expansion, who had become the most famous?

It wasn’t the number one guild leader, Shengshi Drunkard, who had the title of Demon Slayer, nor was it the one who had descended to the top of the list with his peerless beauty.

Instead, he was the man in front of him, one that looked weak but was actually extremely powerful.

He was known as the King in the Shadows, Scarlet Eye..
