Chapter 636: Backing Off

Chapter 636: Backing Off

Translator: Halcyon Translations Editor: Halcyon Translations

The Murloc Mage was wielding a staff. The good news was that it didn't have much health – only 24,000. For a level 45 semi-Boss, this wasn't a lot.

The bad news was that it had up to 80,000 points of mana, which meant that it could almost cast spells endlessly.

When monsters ran out of mana, they often resorted to physical damage. However, the physical damage of Mage-type monsters would often be very weak, which gave an extra chance and time to the players.

With a simple wave, the Murloc Mage casted an Ice Lance. Lu Li didn't have time to dodge, so he tanked the shot.

-268!

Lu Li tried to approach the boss with a movement speed reduction on him. He had only seen this skill used by Unforgettable Maple and the reduction time was quite short. However, the Murloc Mage didn't seem to have this problem; it could cast the skill continuously.

Theoretically, a Mage with Ice Lance could kite any opponent to death.

Fortunately, Lu Li wasn't battling against a player. Although monsters would subconsciously keep a distance between themselves and their target, they weren't aware of the kiting theory.

The Murloc Mage was closed-in on by Lu Li after three spells.

Lu Li started off with a Gouge; he needed a skill with a high completion level to extend his control.

Semi-Bosses weren't immune to control spells. While the Murloc Mage was stunned, Lu Li moved behind it and used Shadowstrike!

-362!

This was quite a high value, and the stun also lasted for two seconds. This stun wasn't like the control effect of Gouge or Blind – it wasn't something that could be cancelled by damage. Lu Li could continue to cast his other skills.

Lu Li regretted not bringing Blind Powder with him. If he had the powder, he would have more variety to his attacks.

The Murloc Mage woke up and backed away with difficulty, wanting to create some distance between itself and Lu Li. However, any effort that it made was futile because the Murloc Mage didn't know how to cast Flash.

After a few attempts, it gave up and started to engage in melee combat with Lu Li.

Ice Lance had a targeted effect – once it was locked on, it usually wouldn't miss. However, this was based on the caster aiming the spell in the right direction. If Lu Li hid behind the Murloc Mage, it would have to turn around to recast it.

Lu Li would change his position each time he attacked. The monster only had so many skills and could only maintain a 30% accuracy on him.

It only had two spells that required cast times, but Lu Li used control and interruption skills to cancel them.

He drank a potion and continued to keep his health above half as the health bar of the Murloc Mage slowly emptied. The battle ended after a minute and forty seconds.

A level 45 Silver equip with decent attributes was dropped. There would probably be quite a few players who would be willing to purchase this with their points.

System: Congratulations Lu Li on completing level 5. Final grade SS.

He didn't have to wait too long for the announcement and the final grade was better than he had imagined. He thought he could only achieved an S, but it seemed like he was much stronger in this life compared to his previous life.

Because he didn't get an SSS final grade, his rewards would be slightly worse. However, after Lu Li saw the eight items in the whell, he didn't think that they were bad at all.

The only mediocre items in the wheel were the four Silver grade equips. These were level 40 Silver grade equips with average special effects, and were no use at all for a top player like Lu Li.

Surprisingly, there was something else besides these four Silver grade equips.

There was a level 40 Gold grade belt, which was better than Lu Li's current one. It had a damage reduction effect and an area silence effect.

In terms of special items, there was a Raptor mount for Trolls.

There was also a skill book for Slice and Dice, an ultimate spell, as well as an extra skill point.

Lu Li was almost certain that everything he saw was the result of the First Clear. Otherwise, there was no way that the wheel would include mounts, pets and even items like the Flame of Ragnaros.

After his reincarnation, Lu Li didn't gain any abilities to conquer the political or business world, and neither did he remember any numbers for the lottery. Instead, he had a wealth of information about Dawn.

At first, this information was a mess, and he didn't really know how to use it.

However, throughout his daily gaming life, it became priceless, and was constantly affecting his growth.

In terms of talent, he wasn't any better than the other celebrity players. In terms of determination, there were plenty others in the world who were even more determined than he was – some people placed their lives on the line to play Dawn. At the very most, Lu Li saw Dawn as a way for him to earn money, and to improve his living standards.

He was only able to make it here because he reincarnated.

As the wheel spun, Lu Li guessed his last reward for the day. In the next level, he might be able to gain some Fortified Stones, but there was no way he could beat the level 50 semi-Boss. It was only Tuesday today; perhaps he could come back during the weekend.

Even if he didn't grow stronger by then, he would be in a better condition. He was already tired from battling five stages of monsters.

The pointer eventually stopped; the world was quiet at that very moment.

Followed by a soft and clear note, the pointer landed on the box for an extra skill point. Lu Li instantly felt happier. The next time someone claimed that he was a unlucky looter, he would show them a video of this.

Skill points were a great thing – Thieves heavily relied on their skills and equips.

He could boost his attributes with equips, but it was hard to obtain skill points in the first place. You could only gain them after every second level, or through some very rare quests.

A Blind skill book, a grey kitten pet, a skill point, a Gold grade gown recipe – could anyone be luckier than he was?

After feeling pleased with himself for a while, Lu Li returned to the city.

"What are you all up to?" After he entered the chatroom for Xin Xin Mercenary Group, he found that the room was quite full.

"Doing dungeons. Are you coming? I'll give you my spot," Fat Monkey offered, taking the initiative. He wasn't really part of the regulars, but he often came by when Lu Li wasn't around.

"What dungeon? You can stay." Lu Li didn't mind.

He only cleared each dungeon once, as going beyond this was too troublesome for him. If it wasn't the First Clear, the dungeon wouldn't drop anything extraordinary either. The Book of Ur was totally a surprise.

"Razorfen Kraul. Breeze bought a dungeon scroll from the black market. We're stuck on the third boss," Fat Monkey replied.

It wasn't that nobody else wanted to reply, but that everyone was too busy. Azure Sea Breeze and Wandering were debating on tactics while the others watched on with interest, awaiting the final outcome of the debate.
