Virtual World: The Legendary Thief

Chapter 151 (The Prophet)

Chapter 151 (The Prophet)

The herbs around here had all resp.a.w.ned already. But during the harvesting, I found something very upsetting. Due to my Harvesting skill had reached level 2 now, the Experience gained from collecting Apple Mint or Lemon Gra.s.s had been reduced significantly. Nearly half an hour later, my skill’s Experience hadn’t risen much…

I was immediately dizzy. Even if it was reasonable to say the herbs levels were relatively low, it shouldn’t let someone to get so little Experience.

Unless, in [Moon Monochrome], there was a shortcut to upgrade the subcla.s.s’ skills. Or perhaps it was really that this skills could only be acc.u.mulated a little by little? It shouldn’t be. At that time, the original slogan of [Moon Monochrome] was that it was different from those Korean games. Although the leveling speed was very slow, but the Skills upgrading speed was a lot faster. And it wasn’t like those cla.s.sic games where upgrading a skill could make you vomit in blood.

“Whoosh~!”

A bright light rose up off of me. Just now, Lu Xue Han’s monster burning had actually sent me directly to level 46!

I opened the ranking charts. To my surprise, I found out that I was no longer the first-ranked player in the city. At the moment, unexpectedly, the city first-ranked player was the also level 46 Mage, Red Blood!

d.a.m.n guy! I clearly remembered that he was a level lower than me yesterday. I didn’t expect that he suddenly rocketed up. The other several Mages had also rapidly leveled up. Perhaps, because Lu Xue Han was bringing other people to level, she had dropped from the Top 3 to the 7th position. Murong Shan Shan had fallen off the Top 10 place directly, and I was in the second place with just small difference.

I frowned. This couldn’t continue like this. If our family’s status were to fall like this, in the future, we wouldn’t be able to contend with Red Blood. There were still Romantic Master and Mad Warrior who were like Tigers watching us. Romantic Master was also a Mage and had already risen from his previously level 39 to level 44 now. As for Xu Lin, because she didn’t have a good AOE skill, she still hadn’t pa.s.sed level 42 until now. If it continued like this, I was afraid that it would be difficult to catch up with the other Mages!



Clenching my teeth, I bid farewell to the group and walked up the mountain by myself. I was at level 46 now, with my equipment and skills, I should be able to kill ordinary monsters below level 60. Even against a level 60 gold BOSS, as long as I didn’t stop drinking Health potions, I might still have a chance of winning!

The night slowly descent upon the majestic Silvermoon Mountain. The illumination inside the woods had begun to get dusky. Mist also slowly rose up. In a flash, the visibility had reduced a lot. Fortunately, there weren’t many monsters on the mountain path. I walked all the way up without any trouble.

I looked closely at the monster’s levels in the woods at the road’s side. After I walked for five minutes, the levels of the monsters here were already higher than that I could see. If I continued to walk forward, my stealth status would probably be caught easily by the monsters.

Just as I was moving forward, suddenly a message from Xin Yu called me for dinner. It was then when I realized that I had been in the game for more than two hours. Shamefully, I hadn’t done anything during this time.

Going offline and dinner!

When I got back online, it was already seven in the evening. There wasn’t a single person in the Silvermoon Mountain region that I was in. The surrounding was full of grim monsters that should be around level 58. I believed that without the stealth status, even if the high-level Red Blood were here, he would meet his end instantly.

“Swish~!”

A claw from a grizzly bear was coming. I was slightly worried that I was still discovered despite my stealth status.

I brandished my sword. The grizzly bear lost nearly 800 points of Health by my Heavy Strike. However, but its powerful claw had also caused me to ache from head to toe, and I also lost a big chunk of my Health.

s.h.i.+t, this bear monster must be over level 60, otherwise, it certainly wouldn’t be able to hit me for 600 points of Health.

I quickly released the Frozen Blade, and immediately, a beautiful ice-blue light enveloped the grizzly. The air temperature dropped rapidly, and large chunks of ice also condensed around the grizzly.

A level 5 skill was really over bearing!

The freezing time from the Frozen Blade had increased from 3 seconds to 5 seconds, and the slowing effect had also changed from 50% to 65%. It can be said that once a target was. .h.i.t by Frozen Blade, the chance to leave with its live intact was really small.

Combo + Heavy Strike once again came into play, and the grizzly was dead before the freezing effect wore off. No equipment. It only gave me two gold coins. The Experience, Equipment, and gold rewards for beating monsters were really very good!

Continuing in stealth mode, a piece of a yellow rag in the forest in front of me had attracted my eyes. There must had been a person or NPC that had come here!

Sure enough, I walked closer to take a look. The cloth strip hung in the bushes. It seemed that it was ripped off accidentally while the owner carelessly pa.s.sed through it. Thinking about it, it ought to be a NPC. It wouldn’t be possible for a player to have his equipment ripped off.

“Young man, what are you doing here?!”

An old yet majestic voice came from ahead. I looked up to see. The origin of the voice was an old man wearing a grey robe. That robe would perhaps not suitable to be called a robe anymore because it had been shredded brutally by the thorns of the bushes.

“Howl~!”

A giant forest wolf appeared from my side when I couldn’t put up my defense on time.

“Boom~!”

A huge fireball flashed past my side. When I looked back, I could only see a giant wolf already roasted. Two gold coins were s.h.i.+ning with an attractive light on the ground, while the old man on the other side was flapping the fire symbol on this sleeves.

s.h.i.+t, so powerful!

I was stunned. This giant wolf should be at least above level 60, but this old man could kill it instantly. No matter how you looked at it, that fireball must be at above level 10. The more I thought about it, the more it seemed that way. Xu Lin’s level 5 fireball was only as big as a basketball, while the diameter of the fireball just now should at least be a meter. Furthermore, its red color was so bright that it could scare someone to death. The intense blazing temperature could be felt from far away.

“Ah, I’ve been stuck here for a week already. If I can’t get out of here, I will surely starve to death here!” The old man said in grief while quietly took the two gold coins into his hands.

Seeing this, I wanted to vomit, but I still said very humble, “Old Sir, your Strength is so powerful. Are you perhaps the legendary Ultimate Magic Mentor?”

The old man blanked and suddenly smiled, “I’m not any Magic Mentor, but I’m merely one of the world’s remaining three Prophets.”

“Prophets? What are prophets?” I asked in surprise.

“Um…” The old man coughed heavily twice and narrated with a hoa.r.s.e voice, “Prophets are pioneers of this world. They used a secret power to understand everything in the nature. Al evil things will vanish before a Prophet. Furthermore, Prophets had mastered the mastery of human strength to its limit. They walked among the forests and mountains, seeking out more powerful strength, for the humanity in the world, and also for their own training.”

With a sudden realization, I said, “Oh, so they’re ascetic monks with magic profound…”

The old man expressed a hint of an embarra.s.sed look and went on to say, “Young man, can you do me a small favor?”

I was a bit surprised. With him being such an expert, what help would he need me to do?

“Please say. As long as I can help you, I will.”

“Can you cut a bit of the wolf meat for me…? I haven’t eaten anything for three days…”

I turned around to look. That wolf had been completely roasted and emitted a pungent unpleasant burning smell. Was he going to eat this stuff?

“Gulp~!”

The old man looked at me affirmatively. His Adam’s apple moved up and down. After watching him for a while, I found that he was actually drooling for the wolf’s meat!

Thus, I pulled out the knife I used for harvesting and cut a large piece of meat from the wolf legs and handed it to the old man.

The old man didn’t say much. After he took the wolf meat from my hands, he immediately fumbled his hand inside his wizard robes for ages, and finally, he pulled out a small bottle.

I was immediately interested to see what he was up to. Something I never expected happened. The old man held the meat in his left hand and waved faintly his right hand. A small flame immediately appeared below the wolf meat. He then opened the bottle with his free right hand and spilled something over the wolf meat.

I understood. d.a.m.n, he was making a barbecue!

The old man chewed a big mouth of wolf meat. He looked back at me and vaguely said, “Young man, I was trapped here by this bunch of animals for several days. Fortunately, you came. Could you do me another favor?”

“Please say!” I said impatiently.

The old man still smiled in disapproval, “The weeds here had overgrown and it would be easily to get lost here. Furthermore, the monsters here are especially a lot and not easy to deal with. If you’re willing to help me, I can teach you in advance a skill to identify the monsters. Are you willing to accept it?”

“Ding~!”

System Notification: Will you accept the Prophet Rhonin’s request?

I thought about it, but still confirmed afterward.

The old man smiled, revealing a few broken teeth, “Very well, then, I’ll teach you this ability!”

“Ding~!”

System Notification: You received the blessing of the Prophet and get the Pa.s.sive Skill: True Vision!

I quickly opened the Skills panel, and sure enough, the skill was added:

True Vision: The perspective of the player will be doubled and at the same time, the player would be able to identify the level of monsters or players not surpa.s.sing 30 levels of the player!

For a while, I didn’t know whether I should be happy or not, but this skill seemed to have a little use.

“Young man, since you’ve already learned this skill, then please help me with a thing!”

The old man squinted, and I suddenly had the premonition of being fooled!

“Not far from here to the south, a level 65 Black Wolf resides there. Kill the Black Wolf and bring back the Sword of Occults that it guards!”
