Chapter 55

This Isaac doesn’t know where he lives, and Li Huailin initially had no idea where this guy came from. To make sure he didn’t miss anything, Li Huailin still took a brief look around the place, but found nothing. What was even more impressive was that Li Huailin couldn’t even find the exit.

"Ordinary players might not be able to find the exit, but they could still touch the divine sword and get killed by it. What am I supposed to do?" Li Huailin was depressed, but then he thought of a solution, "Right, luckily I’m smart. I asked Ye Hang and the others for about a hundred health potions before coming here."

Li Huailin reminded himself that no matter what, he should buy a return scroll as soon as he got back, otherwise, he might get stuck in some strange corner and never get out. Fortunately, the health potions worked. Li Huailin, who now had over 4000 health points, was ruthless and drank 20 health potions before finally collapsing.

When Li Huailin respawned, he felt the air was refreshingly clear. The lava fissure was a really unpleasant place. As soon as he returned to the main city, Li Huailin couldn’t help but take a deep breath.

Checking his inventory, he found that nothing had dropped. The Flame Heart and the strange fire resistance set, which seemed useless, were all still there. It seemed his luck was good, and he had randomly triggered the 50% chance of not dropping items upon death.

Without hesitation, Li Huailin immediately ran to the general store. He had things to do later, and he was afraid he might forget about the return scroll, so he quickly took care of it.

Fortunately, the general store wasn’t hard to find; it was in a prominent location in the commercial district. The store owner was a middle-aged woman named Jenny Ann. Li Huailin looked at the items in the store, which were mostly candles, torches, and return scrolls. He bought some torches for 50 copper each, as he wouldn’t mind losing them if he died. Then he checked the price of the return scrolls, which were 4 silver each, not cheap, but not unreasonably expensive.

Li Huailin had considered beating up the owner to get a discount, but she was a middle-aged woman, and he really couldn’t bring himself to do it. Besides, from his experience with the pharmacy owner, he suspected the maximum discount was 20%, so 4 silver at 20% off would be 3.2 silver, saving only 80 copper, which wasn’t worth it. He bought 5 return scrolls, enough for now, and he didn’t want to buy too many in case they dropped when he died.

"Wait, there’s one more thing." Just as he left the general store, Li Huailin suddenly remembered something he often forgot: learning skills. He was already level 16, and theoretically, each class should get a new skill every 5 levels. Li Huailin had been over level 15 for a while but had forgotten about it, mainly because he had too many other things on his mind.

Now that he remembered, Li Huailin immediately took care of it. He ran to the class district, where the Warrior Guild was the first place he went, as he was already familiar with it.

As soon as he entered, Li Huailin saw his old acquaintance, the Warrior Trainer Aronst, the big man he had beaten for a few minutes, still standing in the center of the Warrior Guild. Around him were a circle of players, both new and old, learning skills. The skill practice area was also crowded, and even more so than before, with the queue now extending upstairs.

Li Huailin thought about it; he was one of the faster players to leave the newbie village, only a few days behind the fastest. Now was the peak time for new players to leave the newbie village, and with more and more people playing "Heart of Glory," it was no wonder there were so many people.

Speaking of which, the development of "Heart of Glory" was indeed impressive. Initially, some large guilds were hesitant to switch from their old MMORPGs, but gradually, all the major guilds began to move into "Heart of Glory." According to the official forum, the top ten guilds in the country had either entered or announced their intention to enter the game. After all, Li Huailin had played other MMORPGs, and the immersive experience of "Heart of Glory" was incomparable.

"Night Navigation and the others must be getting busier these days, with so many opponents in the Spirit Realm." Li Huailin thought, "So I’ll sell this hidden quest today."

He decided to sell the hidden quest to the Spirit Realm later but first learned some skills.

"Hey? Awesome Guy?" Li Huailin’s current appearance was vastly different from his previous cloth armor set; he was now in full chainmail, except for the helmet. Yet, he was still recognized by the players around him, showing how popular he had become.

"Really? Where is he? Let me see!" another player immediately said.

"Really, I saw the pinned post."

"Awesome Guy!" The already lively Warrior Guild became even more lively.

"Uh, good evening, everyone." Li Huailin waved casually.

"Awesome Guy, are you here to beat up the Warrior Trainer again?" a player laughed.

"Awesome Guy, I heard you were caught for molesting a woman."

"Awesome Guy, I heard you raped your neighbor’s little pig, how impressive."

"Damn!" Li Huailin, who had been smiling, suddenly became furious, "Which bastard is looking for a fight?"

The scene suddenly became quiet, and with so many people, no one knew who had said it. Everyone just stared at Li Huailin without speaking.

"Alright, alright, everyone, move aside, I need to learn some skills." Li Huailin couldn’t find the troublemaker, so he just waved his hand and said.

However, what Li Huailin said was quite effective. The players immediately made a path for him, leading straight to the Warrior Trainer Aronst.

"Strange..." Li Huailin scratched his head and walked toward Aronst.

"Respected warrior, it’s you." Aronst saw Li Huailin and said very devoutly, "It seems you have grown stronger. Are you here to learn new skills?"

"Yes, as I said last time, it’s free, right?" Li Huailin was casual with Aronst, not needing to be polite.

"Warrior, rest assured. I have already said that you will always learn skills from me for free." Aronst nodded.

"Good, let me see what skills are available." Li Huailin opened the skill menu and saw that there were two skills he could learn, one offensive and one defensive.

Heroic Strike Level 1 (0/500): Increases the damage of your next attack by 75 points and generates a large amount of threat. Instant cast, consumes 12 mana, 12-second cooldown. Learning cost: 0 gold.

Taunt (No level): Forces a monster to attack you for 2 seconds. Instant cast, consumes 0 mana, 6-second cooldown. Learning cost: 0 gold.

"How are these all monster-pulling skills? But thinking about it, it makes sense. At level 15, it’s time to start dungeons, and warriors do need these skills to pull monsters, or they won’t be able to survive." Li Huailin nodded. Level 10 skills were for leveling up, and level 15 skills were for dungeons. The game’s design was quite good. He still had a skill book in the bank, but he couldn’t learn it yet; it required level 20.

"Should I go find Night Navigation now?" After finally escaping the crowded Warrior Guild, Li Huailin started planning his money-making task, "No, I should find that NPC first. I remember he said he was in the Craftsmen District."

"Right, I should sell the equipment I’ve prepared while I’m at it. Luckily, I’m in a guild, so I don’t have to do everything myself." Li Huailin thought and started contacting Red Moon.
