Chapter 1928: Chapter 1928: Leisurely Moments
During the evening game time, Li Yao arranged everything and met up with Enchantress.
"I failed the mission and didn’t even get the broken key, so I can’t freely enter and exit that plane. I have to ask my mentor to open the portal, but my mentor is a bit eccentric, so the chairman might have to be patient," Enchantress said seriously.
Li Yao curiously asked, "Generally, mentors require level 3 or lower from madmen, but your mentor asked for level 6, such high requirements must be from a proud and important person."
"I only know she’s a legendary thief, and in front of the mentor, the mentor never uses any skills, just with techniques she completely crushes me. As for her identity in the Dark Camp, I’m really not sure. Logically, with such a powerful mentor, she shouldn’t be a nobody, but based on what I know about the Dark Camp, I haven’t found anyone like this," Enchantress said, puzzled.
"You make me even more curious, being able to suppress you with just techniques and giving you no chance to fight back is indeed impressive," Li Yao expressed a bit of interest.
He’s not arrogant; with his current strength and his powerful spiritual power and Divine Eye, he doesn’t take ordinary world-level chiefs seriously.
The Void King Insect soon appeared outside the small town at the crossroads, although it’s a small town, it’s a transportation hub.
It’s an important transportation hub for the Dark Camp, connecting north to south, linking east to west. Losing this place would be like hitting the vital spot of the Dark Camp.
It would cut off the connection between the Tauren and the camp, simultaneously severing the abundant materials produced in the north and cutting off the Dark Camp’s connection with the southern continent.
Although the town isn’t very large, it’s very bustling. It’s also a leveling hub from level 20 to 30.
Players of the Dark Camp love leveling here because, although the environment is harsh, monsters are dense, and relatively easy to kill. Most importantly, the quests are abundant and continuous, the tasks are never-ending, and the rewards are generous.
Whether task-oriented or monster-grinding players, choosing to level up here is faster than most other places.
Plus, various specialties are produced here, like the Thorny Suit from the boarmen side, which can be used from level 20 up to 35, and if the equipment quality is high, up to level 40 without any issues.
To put it bluntly, the Thorny Suit is a reverse damage armor. Each piece has a reverse damage effect, and collecting the whole set increases reverse damage. It’s a very useful set; melee equipment reflects melee damage, while ranged class sets reflect some ranged attacks, making it very practical and dominant.
Especially for tank professions, with reverse damage armor, a group of healing can sustain a general mob attack, leveling quickly.
Another specialty is something even max-level players need, specifically a recipe: Delicious Wind Snake.
Delicious Wind Snake is a transformational cooking item, and after a random transformation, it gains a corresponding attribute boost, combining style and attributes in one. It’s one of the hottest cooking items in the auction house.
More crucially, the main ingredient for Delicious Wind Snake needs to be obtained at the oasis in the crossroads. Many players fish here specifically to make money, and if newcomers are lucky enough to get a recipe without delaying their leveling, they’ll hit the jackpot.
Nowadays, with many new players flooding in, it’s even more bustling here, and despite being nighttime, the town is still crowded. Although they can’t leave the city to kill monsters, they can raid dungeons.
The Wailing Caverns near the crossroads is one of the favorite dungeons for newcomers. Although relatively difficult, the monsters inside offer great experience, and the items dropped are perfect for beginners. Importantly, there are many bosses, and clearing a dungeon once always results in improvement.
Plus, the game started almost a year ago. Various leveling strategies have been developed for these maps, and the Wailing Caverns has long been thoroughly researched, with plenty of guides on forums, making it much easier for new players.
At least it’s much faster and more convenient compared to those who first entered the game.
"It’s really lively here," Li Yao said as he moved through the square, wearing a hood and mask.
The square is divided into many parts, and although there are many people, it’s very orderly. Various stalls are well-organized, and players who just left the Beginner’s Village eagerly look at the equipment, items, and tools on the stalls, searching for something useful.
Li Yao felt a slight nostalgia, as he hadn’t leisurely browsed stalls for a long time. Auctions are good, but many great things don’t appear there and are found at stalls, much like treasure hunting.
"We’re a bit early, how about strolling for half an hour?" Enchantress suggested, "Chairman, if you find it bothersome, you can rest at the tavern ahead."
"No need, I like this atmosphere too, perhaps I’ll find something valuable," Li Yao said enthusiastically.
"Looks like we have the same idea."
The two exchanged smiles, and for someone of Li Yao’s status, even saving a few Gold Coins by treasure hunting doesn’t matter. But it’s not about the amount; it’s about the fun. He didn’t expect Enchantress to be so interested in the low-tier player market either.
"The chairman may not know, but I dedicate time each week to treasure hunting at famous night markets and learn a lot," Enchantress said. "I developed my archaeology and appraisal skills this way."
They continued walking and chatting, crossing a portion of the square as they picked up quite a few items, mainly small gadgets.
Although they seemed useless, used in the right context, they could be greatly effective.
Huh?
Li Yao casually glanced at a stall and was immediately intrigued.
"I can’t believe such a low-level area produced this item, this stall owner is incredibly lucky," Li Yao said on the team channel.
Enchantress looked and was equally surprised, "It’s actually a tome of essence, remarkably lucky."
At this moment, the stall owner was already discussing with a player wearing luxurious equipment.
The stall owner was a Tauren warrior, saying, "Sorry, if you don’t have what I need, I won’t trade."
The player in luxurious gear helplessly said, "Young friend, you’re too stubborn. Yes, I admit, this tome of essence is valuable, but its constraints are too high. If it were an attack-type tome, your price would be justified, but the issue is it’s a support-type tome, and it’s eyewear-based, requiring eyewear equipment at purple quality. With your low level, you don’t understand what purple special equipment means. Eyewear equipment is rare; even big figures in super guilds might not have blue quality, let alone purple. Hence, too few can use this tome, and you still want to exchange for your class’s attack tome, it’s really."
"I know, but I won’t change my mind."...
