[You have equipped Basic Naginata]
Faust quite liked the naginata as a weapon. It combined the best parts of having a sword and spear into one weapon.
With a hard sweep of the weapon, he cleared a foot of grass in front of him. He refamiliarised himself with the weapon, spinning it around him and lashing out with steady strikes.
This brings back a lot of fun mories.
He easily found a group of slis in a patch of mowed grass, slowly eating and growing bigger.
He chose the biggest one, because it had the most combat power, and because there weren’t as many other slis around it.
Without much flourish or hesitation, he drove the naginata into the sli’s shiny, blue body and pierced the core smoothly. The sli shuddered briefly, but turned into a puddle the next second.
[You have killed "Blue Sli" and gained 5 experience points.]
[Rewards have been placed in your equipped Spatial Bag.]
For a second he wondered if the reward had been affected by his system, but instead resolved himself to killing more slis and checking later.
It was easy work and actually a bit fun. The threat of death with a single missed stab made every movent clearer and urgent.
Against one sli he missed the core and had to dash back when a spray of acid filled the air.
The slis were slow until that acid was released. The mont they sensed the sll they sward and dissolved the area in seconds.
"Haha."
Faust couldn’t stop his nervous laughter as he watched the slis pile on. This place was a bit of a bad spot now so he went to hunt other slis till these ones cald down.
Ignoring the system’s notifications, he dedicated himself to hunt twenty more slis to complete get to level 2.
When he finally finished the system chid twice.
[You have killed "Blue Sli" and gained 5 experience points.]
[Rewards have been placed in your equipped Spatial Bag.]
[Congratulations, you have leveled up to Level 2!]
[You have gained 5 points in all attributes, and 5 free points to distribute.]
"Finally," Faust said with a smile. He willed his status to appear. He felt a rush of energy with the level up. All that work was suddenly very worth his ti.
[Na: Faust Havlicek]
[Level: 2 (0/150)]
[Constitution: 8 > 13]
[Strength: 8 > 13]
[Agility: 8 > 13]
[Spirit: 7 > 12]
[Schema: The Perfect Match]
[Schema Abilities: Talent Replication, Instance Replication]
[Skills: Stealth Lv1, Appraise Lv1]
[Combat Power: 31 > 51]
[Origin Coins: 0 > 100]
[System: 10x Rewards]
He flexed his fingers and could really feel it. He was almost twice as strong as he had been before. With a little hop, he rose high into the air, and the landing barely stressed his greater constitution.
He made a few runs like he was a Wide Receiver and the wind roared in his ears. Each stride carried him much farther.
Faust started laughing uncontrollably. It was amazing. Just amazing. He felt rejuvenated despite the minutes spent hunting twenty slis. He wanted to hunt more right now. He wanted to get to level three right now.
His coins had also increased alot...
"System, can you show the rewards of my last kills?" He wondered aloud. His spatial bag didn’t feel any heavier.
[You have killed 20x "Blue Sli" and gained 100 experience points.]
[Origin coins: 100.]
[Blue Sli Core x20]
[10x Blue Sli Essence: Consuming will increase Constitution by 2.]
[6x Blue Sli Acid: Burns very quickly. Can only be neutralised with water magic.]
Faust grinned. It’s not like he was surprised. It must have worked on a loot table system. Everything the sli could drop increased the more he killed to a certain point. That was why the drops reduced as they went on.
A sli was always going to drop Origin coins and a core. But for every two slis he killed, the second had a decent chance of dropping Essence. And for every three slis he killed, the third had a small chance of dropping acid.
But with 100% Drop Rate, those small chances beca certainties.
So killing as many monsters of a type was the best thod to maximise the system
He left cores and the acids in his bag for now, their uses weren’t apparent yet. But he adjusted the sling bag forward and pulled out three of the Sli Essences without searching.
The Spatial Bag imdiately opened the section where his Essences were and he could feel the other ten in the deep bag.
The Blue Sli Essence was bright blue and gelatinous. They didn’t look very appetising but at least interesting.
"Do I have to eat them physically," he mused.
He asked the system to consu all ten of the Essences, but nothing happened. With a sigh he just started popping them into his mouth like cheap drugs, swallowing without thinking. They didn’t have any taste, thankfully.
Ding!
[You have consud "Blue Sli Essence" and gained 2 Constitution.]
[You have consud "Blue Sli Essence" and gained 2 Constitution.]
[You have consud...]
He didn’t stop to check his stats and just focused on popping his unregulated steroids. The thought made him laugh and almost choke on one.
Once he was done he checked his stats.
[Constitution: 13 > 33]
He punched himself casually and actually winced a little. He expected pain, but it never ca. His own strength wasn’t enough to hurt himself anymore. For the next few minutes, he had fun pinching and hitting himself.
[You have 5 undistributed points]
"Thank you for reminding . Not that I forgot..."
He allocated the points into Agility and Strength. Staying quick on his feet and deadly was his whole ideology when it ca to gas. Beating souls-like gas with no hits was the only thing that kept him sane when he broke his arm in a judo contest.
[Strength: 13 > 16]
[Agility: 13 > 15]
At this point in the ga eager players would leave slis behind to find stronger enemies. More experienced gars however knew you had to farm until a reason to leave ca.
And besides I want to see the rewards I get as I go up on the loot table. I’m at twenty slis now, but what will I get after killing 30 of these guys? And what after 40? 50? 60?
100?
Ok, junior genocider, calm down.
But he eyed the cute peaceful slis greedily. Maybe genocide wasn’t so bad If he got sothing amazing.
So he returned to killing slis. His strikes were faster and more accurate. He was less scared of the acid spray now, but not dumb enough to let that make him complacent.
[You have killed "Blue Sli" and gained 3 experience points.]
[Rewards have been placed in your equipped Spatial Bag.]
The experience dipped but that was to be expected. The higher his level got the harder it would be to gain aningful levels from weaker enemies.
He ignored it and focused on killing slis till he got to Level 3.
50 of the little guys. He had to go out and search for them through the fields. Sotis he heard other people in the grass and clicked his tongue.
The other players were catching on and shedding their fear. This place would be sward soon.
I need to be faster.
[You have killed "Blue Sli" and gained 5 experience points.]
[Rewards have been placed in your equipped Spatial Bag.]
After killing fifty slis, Faust finally leveled up, and checked his status.
His smile grew even wider.
