The inside of the haunted house was gloomy and I couldn't see anything at all.
I slightly poked my head out and felt a scorching dark fireball hit my chest. I couldn't help but take a few steps back. When I raised my head, I saw a Necromancer shrouded in a dark robe standing there. It was the purpose of my trip!
【Necromancer Ajess】 (Bronze Tier Boss)
Level:???
Magic Attack:???
Defense:???
Health:???
… …
The series of question marks made me speechless. Fortunately, this boss was only Bronze-grade. This meant that I still had a chance!
The Undead Shaman's Dark Fireball had dealt over 200 damage to me, but it wasn't too much. After all, Archers had decent magic resistance. If it were a Swordsman or a Berserker, they would have suffered even more.
I immediately retreated while calculating the distance between me and the Necromancer. I was pleasantly surprised to find that the Necromancer's attack range was only about 15 yards, while my attack range was 20 yards!
After discovering this problem, I immediately got to work. I started with an Ice Arrow and drank a Health Potion. I retreated and started using Fire Arrow to attack the Necromancer!
The Fire Arrow whistled through the air and landed directly on the Necromancer's chest. The Necromancer shook violently, and a damage number of "1268" appeared above his head!
"Damn!"
Even I was surprised. After obtaining the Gold-grade Star Chasing Bow, my attack power rapidly increased. With just one attack, I was able to take away a small portion of the Boss's HP!
I took two steps back and continued to attack. However, the Undead Shaman who was slowed by the Ice Arrow could only move his feet and chase after me. This way, after three attacks, the Undead Shaman could only hit me once. On top of that, I had used a health potion. Actually, I could have fought him head-on!
I was about to faint. My entire body was in a daze. All I needed was a bed!
In the blink of an eye, I didn't know how much time had passed. I continuously stuffed Health Potions into my mouth and the Necromancer in front of me had fallen to critical health!
At that moment, a "Ding Dong" sound rang out. System Notification: Your friend came online last summer!
As I expected, Summer immediately sent me a message. She asked in surprise, "Big brother Scholar, why haven't you gone to bed yet?"
Speechless, I replied, "I'm going to sleep soon. Why are you up so early in the summer?"
Summer immediately said, "I drank a lot of water last night, so I got up to pee in the morning. As a result, I didn't feel sleepy, so I got up to level!"
By the time her message arrived, I had already successfully killed the Bronze-grade Necromancer Boss!
Ding ~!
System Notice: Congratulations! You have killed the boss, Necromancer Ajess. Obtained 250000 EXP and 600 Reputation!
…
I immediately went forward and flipped over the Undead Shaman's corpse. I took out the Wave Dagger and closed my eyes. I dug out the rotten heart of the Undead Shaman and threw it into my bag. Looking at the items that the Undead Shaman dropped, it was only 75 gold coins!
I was slightly disappointed. The good news was that I got a lot of experience. If I turned in the quest, I should be able to reach Level 38 and reach 50% of the experience!
So I immediately packed up and ran back to the tomb keeper.
When I dug out the Undead Shaman's heart, the quest that I had inherited three times in a row was finally complete!
The gravekeeper took the Warlock's Heart and combined it with the butterfly orchids and the skeleton ribs. After processing it a little, he applied it on the leg that had been corroded by the poison. Immediately, the rotten flesh turned bright red!
After half a minute, the gravekeeper was able to walk on the ground. He thanked me profusely, "Brave young man, the power of light will always be by your side. It will protect you as you conquer the evil that comes from hell!"
Ding ~!
System Notice: You have completed the quest [Necromancer's Heart]. Obtained 350000 experience, 100 gold, 400 Reputation, and the quest item [Tomb Keeper Ring]!
Finally, an equipment dropped!
Excited, I hurriedly found the ring in my bag. I saw the small blue ring glowing faintly —
[Tomb Keeper Ring] (Silver-grade — Ring)
Strength: + 12
Stamina: + 10
Passive: Increases wearer's critical rate by 3%
Level Requirement: 35
… …
I couldn't help but laugh. It was a Silver-grade ring, and it didn't need to be appraised. It saved me a lot of money!
Currently, it seemed that there weren't many rings in Spirit of Grief. Now that I had completed a quest and obtained a Silver-grade ring, I was so lucky!
Immediately, I equipped the Tomb Keeper's Ring. Instantly, my Attack Power and Stamina increased by 70 points!
Actually, the most valuable thing about this ring was its 3% critical hit rate. Everyone knew that Agility-focused classes needed critical hits. The higher the critical hit rate, the higher the damage. As for me, an archer who put all of his points into Strength, I could only rely on my equipment to make up for my low Agility!
I finally completed this series of quests, and my level finally surpassed Ling Yue. Not only that, the Star Chasing Bow that dropped from the super boss, the Beast Rider Corpse King, also helped me surpass Level 38 by 50%. Right now, I had jumped to second place on the World Level Ranking. I was only a bit behind the person in first place!
Originally, I should have gone all the way to Level 40 and become a proper player, but I couldn't endure it anymore. After all, I had already spent 16 hours in the game, and my body couldn't take it anymore.
Beauty Xia Tian wanted to chat with me a bit more, but I refused because I needed to sleep.
I returned directly to the city and logged off!
After taking off my helmet, I felt like I was going to collapse. I couldn't care about anything else, and directly fell into a deep sleep on my bed!
… …
I didn't know how long had passed, but I suddenly heard someone knocking on my door.
I looked at the time. It was only one in the afternoon, and I had only slept for five hours.
I opened the door and was shocked. I shouted, "Auntie, why are you here?"
That's right, it was the auntie who supported my university. Ever since my parents left the country, she was the only one taking care of me.
Auntie looked at my dispirited appearance and couldn't help but say, "Hurry up and take a bath. Tidy up a bit, and then come with me to meet a girl!"
"Yi?
Girl, what do you mean? "
Auntie said in a bad mood, "I'm helping you find a girlfriend!
Aren't you anxious? I am! "
Auntie didn't have any children, so she treated me like half a son. She didn't think that this kind of thing would give me such a headache!
Even if I didn't want to, I still didn't want to go against auntie's wishes. So I went to wash up, and changed into a slightly more decent set of clothes.
I came downstairs. Auntie's old Sang was covered in scratches. It was obvious that it had been through many hardships, but it still hadn't been laid off. How dedicated.
Auntie said, "Get in the car. This time, I'll introduce you to a girl. I heard she's very beautiful!"
I said, "Forget it, auntie. Last time you said she was beautiful, but when I saw her, she almost scared me to death. She was like a flower, and her beard was even longer than mine!"
Auntie said with a smile, "Less nonsense, hurry up and come with me!"
The car started, and fifteen minutes later, we arrived in front of a restaurant. Auntie said, "Today, treat her to a meal. You talk to that girl a bit more. If it works, I'll help you buy a house in the city to get married!"
I was miserable, but I couldn't say anything. This kind of thing depended on both parties' willingness, but auntie didn't care!
