Chapter 95: Chapter 95 Talent Selection

PS: It will probably be between half a month to a month before my book gets published. The word count has exploded now and has reached the limit for going live. Last time, they asked me to limit my word count. Then, I decided to write extra chapters in exchange for your votes, but unexpectedly, both your votes and my word count exploded. I guess I’ll receive warnings again. So, I must restrict my word count.
Regarding today’s extra chapter for the votes, I’ll still write it, so rest assured. Some readers said I update too slow. You may take a look at other new books and their word counts at the time of going live. I believe old readers have a general understanding of this. Even though I have reached the word limit for going live, the time is still far away. Anyway, that’s all for now, and there will be an additional chapter tonight for getting 13,000 votes.
I have prepared drafts, but can only show them to all of you after being published. I hope you understand and continue supporting. A bow of thanks from Mario.
“No way, pets are too easy to catch.” Zhao Lei circled around the Crystal Spider and commented.
“You think it’s easy because you’ve got this freak.” The Guardian Angel retorted, “In reality, it’s not that simple. Mainly because Prairie Fire is too overpowered. An insignificant move dropped the boss’s health below 10%. That’s the reason for two successful attempts. If it was somebody else, defeating the silver hero would be a major issue.”
“Yeah, that’s true.” Zhao Lei considered the position of a hunter—a majority of players have bias against hunters, and in normal situations, they have it tough.
“Share some details about your pet, let’s see if it’s a good one.”
“Honestly, luck played a big role this time. I was prepared to struggle for two hours.” Li Yao joyfully shared some details about the pet.
“Whoa, there is no justice. Such overpowered attributes. I would definitely be defeated.” Guardian Angel drooled, “I must have chosen the wrong profession.”
“Other than Holy Light Punishment, you have no other attacking skills. You can’t beat any ordinary creature either.” Fruit knight commented nonchalantly.
“I also feel like I chose the wrong profession.” Zhao Lei was also envious.
Li Yao just smiled without speaking. Purely from an attribute perspective, it was a few levels below the level 10 Fire Eagle. The major thing here was the spider’s skills and armor, which was very useful.
“You guys play as hunters, probably missing targets beyond 10 yards. No one will want you in their team.” Fruit knight scoffed again.
The Guardian Angel shrunk his neck and said nothing, whereas Zhao Lei mumbled, “With a pet like this, even if I miss all my shots, people will still be dying to team up, right?”
The room burst into laughter.
Li Yao gestured and said, “Alright, let’s stop fooling around. Let’s return to the town. There are a bunch of materials in my bag that needs to be dealt with.”
“Hold on, you guys are just going back like this? Do you have any plans for tomorrow?” Zhao Lei asked.
The Guardian Angel glanced at Fruit Knight and said, “We don’t have any specific plans yet. We’re going back to learn some skills and then find somewhere to level up again. But first things first, I need to complete an elite task for my wife.”
Grinding with spiders to level up no longer seemed suitable. Everyone was bored of it, and no one suggested continuing.
“I need to do my elite task too, also Lei, we’ll likely start working on it tomorrow. We’re running out of time.” Li Yao also said.
“What are your elite tasks? Share them. Let’s see if we can do it together. It was fun leveling up with you guys.”
Fruit Knight suddenly suggested. They all had a preliminary understanding of each other’s abilities after spending days together and were quite satisfied.
“Lei’s task is to kill a level 30 boss, the Son of Grugh. My task is to clear a wolfman outpost that has been occupied. There are probably a thousand wolfmen, countless elites. I don’t know how many bosses there are, but looking at the small clan situation, at least the wolfman chieftain and wolfman priest are bosses. They could even have a special boss, and their levels are not low, and are very tough.”
“A level 30 boss, that’s already startling. Yet, you actually have to eliminate a clan? My God, your tutors, they are absolute freaks.” Guardian Angel was speechless, holding his forehead.
“My task is to merely obliterate three bosses who possess dark power. There’s no level restriction.” Fruit Knight was shocked by their formidable tasks as well.
“The one who gave me the task is a dirty old man. I think I was conned.” Zhao Lei said, feeling dejected.
“Just be assured, it can’t be a swindler. It’s like killing two birds with one stone, once you complete this task, you’ll receive a full inheritance.”
“Why does your task seem so difficult then?” Zhao Lei asked, puzzled.
“My situation is a bit special, mainly because the queen is unreliable. Conveniently, when a problem occurred here, she made it into my trial.” Li Yao bitterly smiled. This queen was indeed demanding.
“What! A queen. You met a queen. Was she beautiful? Did she have a unique aura?” Guardian Angel exclaimed excitedly.
“Huh?” Fruit Knight glanced casually, causing Guardian Angel to droop instantly.
“It’s just a coincidence, a special mission.” Li Yao casually explained.
“Why don’t we do it together tomorrow since my task doesn’t conflict with yours anyway?” Fruit Knight suggested.
“Alright, it’s settled then. Let’s return to the city.”
After they returned to the city, Li Yao looked at the materials in his bag with annoyance. He could use these materials for alchemy, but he was too lazy. One engineering project was already enough of a headache for him.
Li Yao directly contacted Prairie Fire under the identity of Horizon. The two were now partners and had discussed several times, becoming familiar with each other.
Li Yao mailed countless spider materials to Horizon who received them without mistake. These materials were good for making lots of antidote potions and spider venom. It could train two or three intermediate alchemists.
Due to the high level and lots of materials, they could fetch a good amount of money.
Li Yao’s purse swelled once again. He sold more than twenty pieces, and together with the income from the mine for a few days, he already had over a hundred gold coins.
If it were not for managing the mine, Li Yao may have emptied the Brilliant

times over.
At the moment, the copper ore could not meet the demand. The Brilliant Guild consumed a portion internally, and the rest was sold. Every day, Li Yao had at least a dozen gold coins deposited in his account.
As players’ incomes are now higher, the normal fight against monsters yielded about a dozen silver coins a day, but the expenses were large. They could basically make ends meet, not to mention the savings.
One hundred gold coins were hard to come by. Few individual players, let alone top-tier guilds, could afford it. It’s not that they didn’t have the assets, but there were many places to use gold coins in the early stages.
Li Yao was definitely currently the richest, making even Horizon envy.
With the money, Li Yao bought a lot of scrolls and a bunch of different potions, even upgrading to excellent-quality arrow shafts.
This type of arrow shaft had an attached attack power of 2-5. They were military-grade but they were also several times more expensive than before. However, at this moment, Li Yao had plenty of money. He had stocked up a lot of supplies to complete the elite trial.
Li Yao was the first to level up to level 10, receiving two bonus ability points, and another one at level 10, giving him a total of three ability points. Li Yao put two points into Beast King’s abilities, and one point into the shooting talent.
The ability of the Beast King was to increase all pet attributes. It could be scored three points, each of which raised performance by 2%.
As for the shooting talent, Li Yao didn’t choose the first-line-of-power because he didn’t lack attack power for now. Instead, he invested in flexibility, increasing it by 15%.
Li Yao could load bullets and shoot faster, which were related to flexibility. Actually, it was similar to what was commonly referred to as attack speed.
Li Yao’s plan was to use the talent points gained from leveling to improve the Beast King series, and the talent points awarded from completing the Glorious Event quest would be used for shooting.
In fact, after level 60, a single series could be maxed out, then the second series could be increased.
Li Yao’s plan was to use the advantage of rebirth to get as many talent points from glorious achievements as possible, to maximize his progress in both, mainly Beast King with secondary shooting….
