Chapter 022: Bomb Maniac

Chapter 022: Bomb Maniac

The elite monster of level 22 has HP of 12,000. It takes at least 40 magic bombs to destroy it. Xiao Hua hasn't gone bankrupt to this extent yet, and without even thinking about it, he pulled out his dagger and rushed over. The surrounding monsters had already been cleared, and Xiao Hua, with his eerie and graceful footwork, managed to play around with this elite monster until it cried out in frustration.

The skills of injury and poisoning are very useful for monsters with thick skin. When you have good luck, the toxicity damage from poisoning can be stacked up to five times, each time deducting fifty blood points, which is more effective than Xiao Hua's low attack.

"Damn it!" Xiao Hua muttered under his breath as he watched the blood of the elite monster run out.

Although he was teasing the elite monsters, his eyes were always paying attention to the changes around him. Just a moment ago, he noticed that two white figures fifty meters away suddenly disappeared, and it didn't take much thought to realize they had stealthed past.

After about seven or eight seconds, Xiao Hua raised his hands and threw out four or five magic bombs! A series of loud bangs followed, accompanied by flashes of white light. In the shadows, two disheveled figures emerged. The elite monster was knocked to the ground by the magic bomb's impact, dropping items everywhere. As the elite monster fell, a flash of white light appeared on Xiao Hua's body, raising him to level 20.

Xiao Hua stretched out his hand and picked up everything on the ground, then coldly looked at the two people across who were blackened by the explosion. Although this effect would disappear automatically in a while, this dark appearance made these two high-level assassins feel embarrassed!

"Stupid boy, you're looking for death!" After failing to sneak attack, they were instead made a fool of. One of them immediately shouted angrily.

"Are you a person who does no evil?" Xiao Hua, who has long been accustomed to these words, casually asked.

"Good! I think you also know the consequences of offending us. You don't want to lose your newly gained level now and continue to cause trouble for us in the future, do you? Be sensible and hand over a thousand or several hundred gold coins, and we'll let it go!" The other person arrogantly said, seeing Xiao Hua using four or five magic bombs at once, which cost about forty or fifty gold coins. He knew that Xiao Hua was a wealthy man and boldly extorted him openly.

"Haha, do you really think being a higher level is so great? Today I'll show you the power of magic bombs!" Xiao Hua chuckled and pulled out a handful of magic bombs, throwing them at him like they were free!

Magic bombs can blow up 300HP to monsters below level 30, but players can only blow up 30HP. What does this mean? A 40-level Agility Anemic Assassin, with an HP of about 2500, has to use 90 magic bombs, or 900 gold coins, even if he doesn't take recovery potions. If you eat a small recovery agent while being blown up (small recovery agent: 25 HP per second for 15 seconds), more than 100 bombs are indispensable.

Assassins are like this, and other professions don't need to be said. If someone carries a medium-sized life recovery potion or a large-sized life recovery potion, the effect of the magic bomb is basically zero.

In the year since the game's launch, Xiao Hua, who used magic bombs to upgrade by killing monsters, was not the first. However, Xiao Hua is definitely the first and last to use PK to kill people!

Moreover, Xiao Hua doesn't throw one at a time, but in bunches. The two assassins are surrounded by thunderous explosions, like endless fireworks during festivals, and their HP drops rapidly! Although 30 HP is not much, if they get hit several times or even ten times in an instant, their full health bar will quickly empty out.

The two men hurriedly dodged, trying to approach Xiao Hua from both sides and kill him in one fell swoop. But how could Xiao Hua be so easily approached? Even more so when the magic bomb had a repelling effect! They couldn't even get within three meters of Xiao Hua's side.

In just twenty seconds, both of them drank small recovery potions that had no effect. Then they drank medium-sized potions, but still couldn't stop HP from dropping wildly. In this short span of twenty seconds, Xiao Hu had used over a hundred magic bombs, and it seemed like there were no end to them, throwing them with great excitement!

"Damn, where did this perverted guy come from! Retreat!" One of them couldn't help but curse, having seen shameless people before, but never one so shameless. Using magic bombs for PK is blatant cheating!

If they stay for a while longer, their HP will run out immediately. If they are accidentally blown up by such a low-level player, it would really be embarrassing! Seeing the situation was not good, the two of them retreated quickly in opposite directions, leaving the bomb range of Xiao Hua and disappearing without a trace after activating stealth.

This tale has been pilfered from Royal Road. If found on Amazon, kindly file a report.

"Damn! Why are you running away!"

Xiao Hua, who was not willing to give up, ran over and threw several magic bombs, but there was no response. He didn't know if the two guys had run away or were hiding around. If he accidentally ate them, he would definitely be doomed. Seeing that his level had been raised, Xiao Hua did not stay any longer and also activated stealth to leave this place.

Looking at his backpack, Xiao Hua felt that he was really wasteful. It took him just over two hours to use six sets of magic bombs to bomb monsters, but in just a minute of PK, he used almost 300 magic bombs, and 3,000 gold coins were spent in an instant.

Back in the snow city, Xiao Hua identified the two green outfits that the elite monster had just dropped, a 20-level mage leg protector and a 20-level green two-handed sword. It was a waste of time to sell them, and the store felt at a loss. After thinking about it, in order to make the theft more successful the day after tomorrow, the equipment on his body should also be changed. Besides, he also has a lot of money now, so he doesn't have to use it for nothing. Xiao Hua then got into a carriage and went to the Free Exchange.

The free exchange is the place where the most players buy and sell in a city. PK is prohibited, and no skills can be used except identification. There are stalls in the market, with a rent of 5 gold coins for one hour. Players can sell freely or put their own goods on the stalls. After entering the selling price, players can leave regardless of who wants to take the money directly, and then the system will mail the money to the players, which is very convenient. However, in order to prevent players from occupying a favorable position for a long time, a consignment can only last for three hours at most. After three hours, the system will mail the unsold goods back to the player's mailbox.

Taking any stall, Xiao Hua threw two pieces of green equipment on it. Each piece was worth ten gold coins. He then wrote on the advertisement board of the ground stall "two pieces of level 20 green equipment, ten gold coins each, take them quickly!" and left to look at other stalls.

The Free Exchange is a place filled with unknown wealth. Players who come here to sell equipment items are mostly lone wolves, and these lone wolves generally have no friends. The things they get are all thrown into the warehouse. When they run out of money, they will take everything out and set up stalls in the Free Exchange to make money.

The unknown wealth is on them. Because of their lack of social interaction, they often hit things that are valuable but not useful to them and don't realize it. When selling, they also price according to their own feelings, and they are eager to sell and cash out, so generally speaking, items that they think are definitely useful won't be priced too high.

Because of this reason, many merchants visit every stall at the free market daily, hoping to find treasures and make a big profit. In fact, there are also quite a few merchants who have benefited greatly from it.

The game has been running for a year, and now the player's equipment is mainly blue, purple is the patent of a very small number of people, money may not be able to buy, dark gold is like an artifact, there are several pieces in a city can be counted. The same is true in free exchanges. Green outfits are the most expensive, with prices ranging from tens to thousands of gold coins, followed by blue outfits. According to attributes, prices range from hundreds to thousands of gold coins, while purple outfits only appear in a month. One or two pieces, rich and lucky can only be bought.

Xiao Hua didn't take a few steps before the system notified him that his equipment had been bought by someone and the money was sent over. Now he has a million assets, twenty gold coins, and two magic bombs, which is better than nothing.

Xiao Hua slowly walked around in the free market, occasionally looking at the equipment on the stalls. He wasn't too concerned about whether the equipment was blue or green, but rather its attributes. To increase his chances of success in future actions, he chose dual attribute equipment with both strength and agility. However, it was difficult to find such equipment that had neither too low nor too high attributes, and that suited him. It required patience to search for them.

After about an hour of shopping, Xiao Hua finally collected enough equipment.

Strong Fang Dagger (Green Equipment): Physical Attack 27-36, Strength +12, Level 20 can be equipped.

Ghost Wolf Leather Leggings (Blue Armor): Defense 18, Magic Defense 15, Strength +8, Agility +10, Level 19 can be equipped.

Sturdy Bear Leather Wristguards (Blue Armor): Defense 20, Magic Defense 16, Strength +9, Agility +8, Level 19 can be equipped.

Agile Wolf Leather Shoes (Blue): Defense 15, Magic Defense 12, Agility +10, Movement Speed +10%, Level 20 can be equipped.

Yellow Sapphire Necklace (Blue Equipment): Physical Attack +8, Magic Attack +12, Constitution +5, Agility +4, Level 20 can be equipped.

Rusty Ring (Blue Armor): Physical Attack +10, Magic Attack +7, Constitution +7, Agility +3, Level 20 can be equipped.

Xiao Hua searched for equipment based on the priority of physique and agility, but it was too difficult to find weapons that had both physique and agility. Most were only added to strength and agility. In the end, Xiao Hua could only choose a dagger that only added to physique. A set of equipment, with the weapon being the cheapest at less than one hundred gold coins, while the rest cost more than a thousand each. Suddenly, nearly ten thousand gold coins disappeared. Money came quickly, but went even faster. Indeed, money earned without effort is not painful to spend.

With a single blow, he gained more than 400 HP. If he was hit by the Frost Dragon, there would be no argument, and he would definitely die. But against players, it allowed him to take one more hit, which meant an increased chance!

Seeing that it was still early, Xiao Hua decided to complete the advanced task given by the Thief's Guild and wear a professional medal. It could also add some attributes.

Not far away, Xiao Hua suddenly saw a few people looking at something on a roadside stall in front of him. Someone was bargaining with the vendor, but the vendor shook his head firmly.

In this situation, it often indicates that something rare in the market has appeared on the street stall!

Xiao Hua was curious and walked over.
