Chapter 17: Not Enough Trump Cards!

Translator: Zayn_

“Boom!”

“Zi zi zi zi…”

“Boom!”

“Zi zi zi zi…”

“Boom!”

“Zi la zi la…”

..

It was a sunny day.

Somewhere in the Gran Forest.

The sound of thunder was constantly ringing out.

Such a strange scene.

The large group of players who were fighting monsters and leveling up in the forest were curious and puzzled.

After all, the sound of thunder exploding like this was not something common in the wilderness of Gran Town.

There were almost no mages in Gran Town.

Therefore, there were almost no skills that could cause Lightning Explosion damage.

“Tsk tsk, could it be that a high-level Magical Beast is about to descend?”

“It’s hard to say. It might be a natural disaster that is about to happen.”

“Looks like I can’t stay in the Gran Forest for too long today. Safety first, leveling second.”

“…”

The players in the forest discussed animatedly and began to move toward Gran Town.

Time slowly passed.

Soon, it was noon.

On the other side.

“Boom!”

Another blue and white flash of sword qi landed on a tall tree.

The tree trunk, which was already riddled with holes, was directly cut off by the sword qi.

With a loud bang, it crashed into the ground in the forest.

[ Ding!]

[ You have received: Blackleaf Tree Wood Block x1!]

[ Ding!]

[ You have obtained the title: Ruthless Lumberjack!]

[ Details: Congratulations! You have cut down 100 trees in Gran Forest alone in a day and obtained this title!]

[ Ruthless Lumberjack: Your attack power on trees has increased by 1%!]

“What a useless title.”

Lu Qingge complained silently.

However, compared to other [Equipment], [Title] had an advantage, which was that they did not have a level requirement.

Players of any level could wear any type of title.

This was a good thing for Lu Qingge.

After equipping the title, Lu Qingge opened his [Backpack] to take a look.

Just right, 100 [ Blackleaf Tree Wood Block].

Yes, that’s right.

In order to practice aiming at a fixed target, Lu Qingge chose the trees that could be seen everywhere in the Gran Forest as his first target.

Firstly, he didn’t need to spend much effort to find the trees in the forest.

Moreover, each of them had different sizes and lengths, making them natural and easy to use fixed targets.

Secondly, Gran Forest was a magical forest.

Not just wild monsters. Including the trees, stones, streams… All of it would be refreshed. If you really wanted to destroy this forest, that would probably require some relatively large-scale magic to carry out carpet bombing.

Or perhaps, the game’s changes in versions would produce new large-scale [Events] that would lead to huge changes in the environment.

So…

Lu Qingge naturally didn’t have to worry about cutting down trees and destroying the world’s ecological environment.

“Phew.”

“Very good.”

“I feel that my accuracy has indeed improved a lot!”

Lu Qingge nodded in satisfaction.

After an entire morning of high-intensity training without interruption, Lu Qingge finally managed to gradually increase the accuracy of his [Thundering Stellar Slash] to around 90%.

Basically, for every 10 sword qi strikes, he would be able to hit at least nine times.

Moreover…

This was only the result of one morning’s training.

Thus, Lu Qingge was very confident about this.

He only needed to practice a little more and he would have complete control over [Thundering Stellar Slash].

It should be able to reach the standard of an ordinary [Stellar Slash].

Such a speed of improvement…

It couldn’t be said to be advancing steadily. It could only be said to be as fast as lightning.

After all, when he had just learned [Thundering Stellar Slash], Lu Qingge had no way of slashing out a stable sword qi.

Not to mention being able to hit the opponent.

Firstly, it was because his attribute value did have a certain shortcoming.

Secondly, it was because his proficiency was indeed insufficient.

At the novice stage, [Thundering Stellar Slash] was indeed a skill with a relatively high difficulty.

However, it was precisely because of this that this skill was worth spending time and effort to practice.

“After all, my level and adventure experience are far from being equal to other players in the same generation.”

“If I don’t grasp some trump cards, I won’t have the strength to fight at all!”

Lu Qingge gripped the wooden stick in his hand tightly and couldn’t help but feel anxious.

Speaking of this, he really needed to save some money to buy a suitable weapon.

From the moment he entered the Gran Forest, he had been in the midst of the war.

Lu Qingge couldn’t even count how many wooden sticks he had exchanged.

Every time a stick was worn out, he would find a replacement in the forest.

During this period of time, he had played with countless types of sticks.

Long or short, thick or thin, hard or soft.

All of them were played with by his five fingers.

“I can’t slack off anymore!”

“Since the initial training with the fixed target has already shown some results, I’ll have to go back to the training room.”

“Now, let’s start practicing moving targets!”

He thought to himself.

Lu Qingge immediately changed the target of his training.

From the large trees that could be seen everywhere around him, it was once again changed to the body of the [Slime].

As expected, after a high-intensity practice with a fixed target, Lu Qingge realized.

The hit rate of the sword qi on the [Slime] had also increased significantly.

He had been unable to land a hit on the moving slime previously.

Now, not only could it hit, but it could even occasionally cause a critical hit.

For every ten sword qi strikes, he could hit eight of them.

This hit rate was slightly lower than a fixed target, but it was still acceptable.

“No.”

“Even so, I can’t be arrogant either.”

Lu Qingge shook his head to calm himself down.

“After all, the mobility of a wild monster like Slime is still relatively low.”

“If I encounter some more agile ones, I might not even be able to touch a single strand of their hair.”

“I still have to continue working hard!”

“At the very least, I have to ensure that the Slime’s hit rate can reach close to 100%!”

“Time is tight.”

“Looks like I can only settle my lunch in the Gran Forest.”

“I’ll be skipping lunch break today.”

“Time waits for no man. I don’t have that much time to waste.”

Lu Qingge sat down.

He took out the bread he had bought in the [Frontier Camp] and prepared a long time ago.

The amount of food he prepared this time was several times more than before.

With his previous experience, Lu Qingge was already prepared to fight a prolonged battle.

After finishing the bread, Qingge drank another bottle of [Stamina Potion].

Taking advantage of the afternoon when the number of players was gradually decreasing, Lu Qingge once again dove into the Gran Forest and started farming [Slimes].

Unknowingly, amidst the occasional explosions of thunder, the sky gradually darkened.

When Lu Qingge killed the last [Slime]…

Today’s bounty mission was also successfully completed.

He looked up.

It was already sunset.

The orange and blood-red colors intertwined in the sky, making it exceptionally gorgeous.

It was like a country on fire.

Lu Qingge slowly exhaled, the corners of his lips curling up slightly.

“Let’s go home!”
