Because of the silly face and sly eyes of Luo Luo before she had left, Fatty had a bad feeling.
This bad feeling came true a moment later…
This is what happened. When the church work was done, Fatty returned home. After connecting to the Chaotic Era, he ran to Asgarod City’s living area, planning to learn the other two crafting skills, which were tailoring and alchemy.
Among the players who had surrounded him last night to ask him to help them forge equipment, many had asked Fatty if he knew anything about tailor crafting and alchemy crafting. This had made him see the broad prospects of crafting.
Among all the life skills, forging skills could forge weapons and heavy armor, tailoring skills could craft leather and cloth armor, and alchemy skills were special. These skills overlapped with the skills of jewelers. One could craft special support potions and scrolls and also craft accessories. On the other hand, jewelers could craft accessories and could also process or synthesize the game’s enhancement stone. Therefore, Fatty actually could choose the jeweler skill. However, after giving it some thought, he still learned alchemy because he felt that support potions and scrolls were more useful than processing or synthesizing stones.
It was more troublesome to learn so many life skills at once because after adding the corresponding gathering skills, there were only six kinds of life skills left for Fatty to upgrade with proficiency: forging and mining, tailoring and skinning, and alchemy and smelting. Oh, that was right. There was still the herb-gathering skill, so there were actually eight kinds! There was also the poison-crafting skill he had learned…
As usual, quality prevailed over quantity. Since Fatty had learned so many kinds of life skills, he would get exhausted just by practicing the proficiency of these life skills, let alone relying on the life skills to earn money. If other people knew this, they would definitely laugh at him.
However, Fatty had his own reasons. He had vaguely discovered that he seemed to be somewhat famous for forging, which had resulted from those two Superior Rank weapons. He could totally rely on his forging skills to make a name for himself and develop the other two crafting skills.
He might be a little tired, but Fatty believed that it didn’t matter as long as he could earn money. Besides, his equipment also needed to be forged from a weapon to armor and then to an accessory. Then, he could produce stuff on his own and sell it.
The most important thing was that, because of yesterday’s confirmation of the forging time, Fatty could already be sure that the transition from day to night had an impact on the rank of the forged equipment. He did not plan to let anyone know about this secret. To prevent disclosing this, it would be best for him to forge his own equipment!
This way, he could slowly collect a set of the highest quality of equipment…
Due to the above reasons, Fatty had worked hard to learn all the crafting skills. The little trick for raising the proficiency of forging was also applicable to the other two crafting skills. When he learned the tailoring skill, that tailoring NPC asked Fatty to find a complete piece of fur for him, while the alchemy NPC asked Fatty to retrieve a piece of Silver Ore. Both of these items were on the market now, so since he had money, Fatty directly bought the items and handed them in.
He brought the tailoring NPC ten complete furs, while he brought ten pieces of Level 10 Silver Ore for the alchemy NPC. When he handed in the quests and learned the skills, the proficiency of Fatty’s tailoring and alchemy skills reached 100 points. He could now craft Level 10 armor and accessories.
After collecting them from the market, Fatty bought a full set of Cloth Armor Crafting Blueprints, which included helmets, clothing, shoes, leggings, and gauntlets. They were all around Level 10, but there were now very few Accessory Blueprints at the market. Even if there were any, the price would be ridiculously high, so Fatty would be unable to buy them.
After he returned to the tailor shop to craft, the proficiency of Fatty’s tailoring skill increased by more than 70 points. The proficiency obtained with each crafting session was related to the level of the blueprint. For example, he could obtain 10 proficiency points after crafting a Level 10 blueprint, 12 points for a Level 12, and so on.
There was only one piece of Refined Rank equipment among the whole set of equipment. It was a +2 Spirit gauntlet, while the rest were Normal Rank pieces of equipment. However, because they were all above Level 10, they were still better than the novice white clothing worn by Fatty. Thus, he completely changed his equipment again. It turned out that a lot of the durability of the original novice outfit had been worn out. Fatty couldn’t be bothered to repair it, so he just put the outfit in the store.
After changing his equipment, Fatty planned to level up. He had gone offline close to 1 a.m. the previous night, but many players in the game had been leveling up all night, so there were even Level 20 players now. If Fatty didn’t work harder, a gap would be created between him and the other players.
When he was about to go out of the city, Luo Moling suddenly contacted him.
To be honest, although he had cleared the dungeon with Luo Moling yesterday and had even had a crafting competition with her, Fatty still felt this was a little inexplicable. He didn’t know how he had ended up being associated with her. It had happened all of a sudden, but it seemed natural. Anyway, this feeling was somewhat strange.
Luo Moling, a neighbor who should have resented him, had now become a part of his friend list due to a freaky combination of factors. She had also taken the initiative to contact him, which would have been absolutely impossible in the past.
Actually, this was indeed the case after he gave it some thought. When Fatty had played the Berserker, he had entered the game three months late. Luo Moling had entered the game as soon as the beta trial had opened, so she had been almost at Level 40. Of course, she couldn’t have met Fatty…
Since Fatty was stunned, he did not even respond when Luo Moling called him a few times. Therefore, she suddenly shouted, “Hey!”
Fatty, who was awakened by her voice, asked gloomily, “What is it?”
“I have to tell you something!” Luo Moling said. “I heard from my friend when I went online today that after Wind Drifting was killed by you yesterday, he went back and gathered people to cause you trouble. At the time, we were clearing the dungeon, so he grew impatient and left. Based on what I know about him, this person is very narrow-minded. If you go out of the city, be careful not to let him know your whereabouts.”
After listening to this, Fatty felt angry. What was that pretty boy thinking? Did he really think he was Luo Moling’s man?
He could only blame himself. Fatty sighed and told Luo Moling, “Isn’t it your fault? If you hadn’t used me as a shield yesterday, would this have caused so much trouble?”
Luo Moling thought of the cause of the matter and felt a little embarrassed. Thus, she said, “In short, be careful. My cousin also came to play this game and she wants me to help her level up, so I can’t help you now.”
Fatty froze suddenly. “Your cousin?”
“Yes!” Luo Moling replied helplessly. “She came to my house today to live with me for a while. When she saw me playing the Chaotic Era, she also joined in.”
Fatty suddenly recalled Luo Luo’s angel-like face…
“Um… Can I ask how old your cousin is?” Fatty swallowed as he stuttered.
“Eight years old!” Luo Moling answered, “But don’t tell anyone. She came in secretly by changing her age.”
Fatty was completely speechless. What kind of family was Luo Moling’s family? Changing one’s age on the social security number was not something that a family with an ordinary background could do! Besides, Luo Moling seemed quite stupid. She had told him not to tell anybody, but given Luo Luo’s height, everyone should know she was underage upon looking at her, right?
Upon thinking of Luo Luo’s sly eyes when she’d left, Fatty didn’t know how much this little girl had guessed. However, he was sure that after that little girl saw him and heard his voice in the game, she would understand everything.
His intuition told him that little Loli was definitely much smarter than her stupid cousin…
However, Fatty had to pretend to ask Luo Moling unintentionally, “Eight years old? Can such a child play games?”
“Pfft!” Luo Moling said contemptuously. “I’m not afraid of telling you that my cousin’s IQ is much higher than yours! She is not a child in the general sense!”
Since Fatty’s cold expert image had collapsed in Luo Moling’s heart, she spoke even more casually to him…
Forget it. Fatty couldn’t be bothered to care that much. That little Loli could just play the game. Did he need to be afraid of a child? Wouldn’t it be a joke if people found out?
After hanging up the call with Luo Moling, Fatty ran to the potion store, spent some Silver Coins, and bought three Mild Healing Salves that recovered 80 HP within 6 seconds. Then, he went to the scroll store and bought two Novice Speed Scrolls.
This was thanks to Wind Drifting, as he had heard that this guy was going to cause him trouble. Fatty only had 5 Camp Reputation Points now. If he died in a PK, his points would become negative. Therefore, he planned to level up and complete some camp quests to increase his Camp Reputation.
The camp quest was a relatively special quest. Both the Holy Order Assembly Camp and the Dark Council Camp had a special NPC for this quest.
The content of the quest was not meant for one person. In other words, the quest wouldn’t be completed when he killed the monsters. In fact, the so-called camp quest was a supplement to the main storyline. The content of the main storyline was based on the vision of the player’s race and the game history background. Camp quests were completed from a multi-angle. Through camp quests, players could interact with various NPCs in their own camp. Thanks to what they had experienced, the players would slowly understand the plot development.
Therefore, the camp quests were continuous, just like a very, very long chain of quests, and were carried out one after another. In the process of completing the quests, every time the players reached a certain stage, they could obtain some Camp Reputation.
However, camp quests were generally more difficult. Fatty had considered accepting the quest now, but he had to go…
