In his previous life, after the players killed a sufficient number of rats, they went straight back to hand in the task. No player liked to stay in the rats field to be abused.
And this task can only be received by cute level 1 newbie players.
Even if players above level 2 came back and slaughter the rats, they will not get this task.
[Task Description: In the southern hut, there seems to be a huge rat king. If you can kill it, we will give you a generous reward! ]
[Task Reward: EXP +5000, random level 5 silver quality equipment. ]
...
"Silver equipment reward again!"
Level 5 silver equipment basically has 50 points of basic attribute value.
Of course, his great spirit sword is an alternative, this kind of heavy weapon is at disadvantage on flexibility, that means that it will also receive additional attribute compensation.
The more flexible the weapon, the lower the basic attributes, but there will be additional agility attribute value as compensation.
Overall, it is very balanced.
Silver equipment, as long as it is in Michael's hands, it will be enhanced to full value, and its attribute value will increase by four times!
"Accept the task!"
[Note: The difficulty of this task is too high. It is a level 5 lord boss, please reconsider your own ability before participating in this task! (Recommended to go in with a team)]
...
After Michael took over the task, he had no intention of forming a team.
It's just a level 5 lord boss, let him try.
Afterward, Michael clicked on the skill tree column.
Level 3 players had three skill slots.
There are a total of three active skill columns in the first ten levels, which means he can still learn two more skills.
After the tenth level, more skill slots will be unlocked. As the game progresses, the restrictions on skill slots will be removed. Anyone can learn as many skills as they want without limitation.
In the early stage, any players can only learn up to three skills, and the remaining seven skill slots are considered to be added. For other players, it is impossible level up their three skills to the full level.
But Michael has no such worries. As long as he learns any skills, he can directly enhanced it at full level, and it is still an evolved version.
"I lack mobility skill and the ability to save my life."
Michael thought for a while and chose a thief's [Ghost Step].
[Ghost Step: Increase the movement speed by 50% for 12 seconds, and the cooling time: 120 seconds. ]
After clicking on this skill, he saw the skill icon glowing slightly, and the next moment, it became another skill.
[Ghost Walker's Protection (Evolved Version of Ghost Step) (LV5-MAX)]
[Passive Effect: increases the movement speed by 30%, and ignores the weight of all equipment on the body. After receiving a physical attack, there is a 5% probability of activating 'ghost form'. In this form, the upcoming attack will directly pass through your body without causing you any harm. ]
[Active Skill: increase movement speed by 200%, duration 20 seconds, cooling time: 60 seconds. ]
...
"This SSS-rank talent is really too ridiculous."
Passively increases movement speed by 30%, and ignoring equipment's weight.
After getting the skill's passive effect, Michael felt his body became so light and fluttering, and the heavy feeling after putting on the equipments was gone.
Moreover, if he activate this skill, his movement speed will increase by 200%. Who can catch up with him in this early game?
As for the 5% chance of having physical immunity, it is even more like a magical skill.
"One SSS-rank talent is so awesome, but I can still have multiple of it at the same time, in this life, no one can stop me from becoming a god!".
...
Michael clicked the second skill in the skill tree: [Strong Will]
This is a skill of the knight profession.
Knights generally exist as a frontline on a war, and their general skills are skills that can reduce damage, improve dual resistance(physical and magic damage defense), and increase toughness/will.
And they havea certain degree of self-recovery.
It is a profession that can resist damage and fight at the same time. In the later stage of the game, as the frontline soldier, they can resists waves of attacks from major races players.
[Strong Will: Increase self-recovery rate by 20%, but at the same time reduce self-movement speed by 20%, duration: 5 seconds]
Just like the [Ghost Step] in an instant, he clicked the supreme enhancement. A golden light swept by, and the skill's icon became a brand-new appearance.
[Fortress Will (Evolved Version of Strong Will) (LV5-MAX)]
[Passive Effect: Increase your own damage reduction rate by 20%]
[Active Skill: Increase damage reduction rate by 60%, and gain immunity to all control skills, duration: 5 seconds, cooling time: 30 seconds. ]
....
"After activating this skill, I can gain a total of 80% damage reduction rate, which is almost equivalent to being in invincible state."
(AN: 20% + 60% = 80% damage reduction rate)
"Control skill-free and can become invincible."
This skill, even if its present in his previous life, even in the later stage, this skill is also a terrifying skill.
But he just got it now, in the early stage.
"Is this the power of SSS-rank talent?"
After personally experiencing the horror of an SSS-rank talent, Michael couldn't help but think of his previous life, that group of gods and spirits were really lucky.
No wonder mankind can be defeated so miserably.
Just SSS-rank talent alone is enough to intimidate everyone.
After clicking the two skills, Michael already had three trump cards, he can run away from the enemy, and can also fight an enemy face-to-face.
After that, Michael walked towards the mission location.
"Five thousand experience points will be enough for me to rise to level 4."
But then, he must consider how to fight the BOSS in this mission.
[Dilapidated Thatched Cottage]
Lu Cang came to the front of the cottage.
This place is very remote, and ordinary players would never walk around here.
[Dilapidated Thatched Cottage(Hidden Copy) whether to enter? ]
[Task Mission: kill the Black Rat King (recommended to find teammates)]
"There is still a task ahead, it seems that only I will take it."
Michael did not intend to let his teammates from the previous team do this task together.
Lord-rank bosses have unique rewards, and the Lord-rank Boss experience value is also very high.
If he formed a team, he must divide experience points with his teammates.
What Michael needs most is experience points to level up. He still doesn't want to share it equally with the others.
He agreed to form a team before because he can also gain experience points in a quick way.
If Michael can pull the rats and kill it at the same alone by himself at level 1, he already did that.
...
As soon as he walked into the room, he saw a huge black mouse with shiny fur distressing on its back.
[Black Rat King]
[Level: 5]
[Rank: Lord]
[Skills: bite, scratch, plague attack ]
...
A player cannot see the specific health value and other detailed attribute value of Lord-rank and above creatures.
"Black Rat King? Let me try to fight you."
Michael's combat power at this time has reached 161 points.
And he have an attribute value that even level 10 players may not have.
The power of a dwarf's attribute bonus is not too much, compared to his.
Huh!
The Black Rat King is huge, but his actions are not slow. He turned around in an instant and sprinted toward Michael.
However, in Michael's eyes, the opponent's speed, which the other party thinks is fast, is incredibly slow.
For a future player like him, who can avoid thousands of arrows.
His dynamic vision and reaction speed have already reached the peak.
That's why the current speed of the Black Rat King is too slow!
Tear!
The rat's body pounced on him.
Michael just moved his body slightly to the side, then slashed out his sword!
-153
With [Ghost Walker's Protection], all of Michael's equipment can ignore the weight, which also makes the great spirit sword, which has become heavy due to its weight, is extremely light and agile in Michael's hands.
After slashing the sword, another sword was slashed again!
-154
Obviously, Michael's behavior angered the Black Rat King.
"Squeak!"
From all directions, small black rats sprang from cracks in the wall.
"This black rat king's HP is estimated to be five thousand."
From the damage created by those two sword slashes, Michael probably guessed the upper limit of the opponent's blood volume.
In all directions, little black rats rushed over.
The corner of Michael's mouth curled slightly.
Raise the sword and slash it!
[Shaking Cut]
Boom!
The wooden floor shattered into cracks!
-1473
Under this blow, the BOSS's HP has already dropped by more than half.
But the little rats around were all dead.
This huge [Black Rat King] was directly hit by Michael's skill, its whole body became stiff.
Before it could react, there were shaking rushing out of the cracks in the ground!
-761
At this moment, the Black Rat King's HP was only half left.
And the second group of rats that rushed over are all dead.
A level 5 Lord-rank monsters must have a very high attack power. At the same time, five thousand blood is also a very thick HP for the majority of players.
Even if it is a level 5 player, each attack can only cause 50 or 60 points of damage.
But if during this period, when the black rat king found a chance to attack them, it would be the dead end for the majority of players.
For a team of five people, the fault tolerance rate is almost zero.
Even if a player receives this task, after failing once, he/she would consider challenging it again after having complete set of level 6 or 7 equipment.
Michael moves lightly, possessing the [Ghost Walker's Protection] skill, he is now extremely flexible.
The Black Rat King's physical attack could not affect him at all.
Dodging the skills for three seconds, at the same time, he also made up a slash in the gap of dodging.
Five sword slashes cut out, hitting the Black Rat King and its HP became zero.
After that, he hit the Black Rat King with another hit.
[Shaking Cut]
Boom!
The Nlack Rat King fell heavily on the smashed floor!
At the moment the Black Rat King fell, a system announcement popped up!
[Congratulations to the player: Eternal Time on killing the level 5 Lord-rank Boss, the 'Black Rat King'! ].
