Chapter 4: The Equipment Gained After Waking Up
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
In the Twilight Forest, Occam sat on the floor.
He could not help but feel amazed at the authenticity of this game.
He had really fallen asleep just now.
The thought flashed through his mind.
Occam opened his characteristic panel and placed the four Skill Points he had just obtained on the passive skill “Defensive Counterattack”.
Defensive Counterattack (7 / 10): Passive skill
[Current Level]
Cast Distance: None
Cooldown Time: None
Skill Effect: Increases the user’s Defense by 400 points. When attacked, it will reflect 170% of the enemy’s attack damage.
[Next Level]
Cast Distance: None
Cooldown Time: None
Skill Effect: Increase your Defense by 450 points. When you are attacked, reflect 180% of the damage to the enemy.
The passive skill’s effect was even stronger.
Occam did not think twice.
He began to pick up his loot.
While he was sleeping, a lot of equipment had fallen to the ground.
Occam was not worried about them being picked up.
That was because no other players would come here.
On the other hand, only players who killed the monsters had the right to pick up items dropped.
If another player wanted to pick it up, they had to kill the original player or wait for 24 hours.
However, this would not happen with Occam.
He bent down and picked up the equipment.
Occam did not know if he was lucky or if there was an additional reward for killing monsters beyond his level.
Another two pieces of blue equipment dropped.
“Hunter’s Longbow (Blue)”
Level: Lv 5
Power :+5
Critical Hit :+1%
Damage :+60 ~ 70
Introduction: A longbow made by those evil hunters.
“Charging Armor”
Level: Lv 5
Constitution :+10
Defense :+50
Health :+100
Introduction: The armor worn by the soldiers charging at the front line of the Empire.
There were also some white and green equipment.
The blue bow Occam had no use for.
Blue armor was perfect for equipment. There were other equipment that could be equipped. After Occam equipped them all.
For the rest, Occam decided to return to Milan Town and sell it.
If these equipment hadn’t nearly filled his backpack, Occam thought he could still lie down for a while.
On the way back to town.
Occam scratched his head helplessly.
Before Level 10, there would be no loss if a character died.
However, the monsters could not kill him, and he could not use the free return function either…
To someone like him who was in the late stages of laziness.
It was an unfriendly experience.
“I heard that the warriors behind can change their jobs to become knights. By then, they won’t have to walk anymore.”
“It’s just that I’m still a probationary warrior. I can only officially become a warrior at rank 10.”
“How troublesome.”
…
At the same time, just as Occam was walking back to Milan, Jeff stood guard at the entrance of Milan Town, scanning the players passing by.
An NPC girl passed by and was shocked when she saw his fierce expression.
Crying, she ran straight to the Temple of Life in the town and found the old priest.
They said that evil professionals came to the town.
The old priest smiled and comforted her, “Don’t worry, those people are the chosen ones sent by God.”
Only then did the girl stop crying.
Jeff’s companion got the news.
They ran to Jeff and teased him.
“Hey Jeff, you evil professional.”
“Jeff, why don’t you make a mask and put it on? Don’t scare the girl into crying again.”
“When you enter the game, you can adjust your character’s appearance. Why did you come in with your real appearance?”
To be honest, Jeff did look a little terrifying.
Hearing their words, Jeff knew that they were teasing him.
He grumbled with a black face, “Go, go, go. Don’t disturb me.”
Upon hearing this, his companion looked at him in surprise.
“Do you really believe that he can survive in Twilight Forest?”
“Stop waiting, let’s go level up.”
“Who knows? They’ve already returned to the city for free.”
Jeff ignored their words.
“You guys go level up. I’ll wait and see.”
Jeff’s companions looked at each other and shook their heads helplessly.
Just as he was about to head out to fight monsters and level up, Jeff suddenly let out a strange cry.
“Oh! He’s back.”
They looked outside.
He saw Occam walking lazily toward Milan Town.
His footsteps were very slow. It looked like he was on an outing.
Occam had just reached the door of Milan Town.
A bearded man suddenly appeared before him.
Occam almost could not stop himself from slashing the sword in his hand.
Fortunately, he finally recognized that it was a player, so he resisted the urge.
The person in front of him was simply too terrifying.
As he stood there, he felt the aura of a bandit coming towards him.
Was he deliberately making such a face to scare people?
Retreat before battle?
“Boss, did you just return from Twilight Forest?”
His muffled voice sounded.
Occam nodded.
“Boss, can I add you as a friend?”
Occam continued to nod.
After he sent a friend request, Occam realized that the bearded man in front of him was Jeff, who had posted on the forum.
“Boss, you’re Level 7?”
Jeff gasped when he saw Occam’s level.
“What? He’s Level 7? How long has it been?”
“We’ve been leveling up since we entered the game. We’re only level 3 now. How can he be faster than us?”
“Is he really training in Twilight Forest? The monsters there are levels 5 to 10!”
Jeff’s companions began to discuss among themselves.
The way he looked at Occam changed instantly.
“Boss, please ask for a friend slot!”
They all sent friend requests.
Upon seeing this, Occam sighed and agreed.
Then, he walked towards the town.
Jeff’s companion did not say much as he prepared to go out and fight the monsters.
Only Jeff followed Occam like a chasing star.
“God, you’re amazing.”
“They all say you’re going to die in the Twilight Forest. Only I believe you.”
“I must post on the forum later and let those people take a look.”
…
Listening to Jeff talking like a mosquito beside him, Occam felt like he should not be talking to this man.
He was too eloquent…
It was completely different from his appearance.
Thus, a strange combination appeared on the road to the town.
A bearded man kept talking.
The handsome young man beside him did not say a word and just walked lazily.
A moment later, Occam arrived at a square in the center of the town.
This was where many players traded with each other.
The game had just started its open beta testing, auction houses, and consignment stores. They would only appear after a while.
Now, they could only trade face-to-face.
“Grade farming team lacking a Priest.”
“Selling equipment from various classes.”
“I’m looking to buy wild boar teeth. The price is negotiable.”
…
As soon as he arrived, he heard a bunch of people shouting.
Occam walked around, found a wall and sat down.
“Do me a favor.”
Beside him, Jeff was posting on the forum.
He replied excitedly when he heard Occam, “Guru, what do you need my help with?”
Occam was puzzled by Jeff’s excitement.
However, he was too lazy to think about it. After telling him what he wanted to do, he leaned lazily against the wall.
Jeff stepped aside and let out a deep breath.
“Selling large amounts of equipment, first come first serve!”
A roar reverberated throughout the entire plaza.
All the players’ ears buzzed from the shock.
The residents of the town outside also heard this voice.
A little girl asked her mother curiously, “Mom, what’s that sound?”
“Child, that is the voice of a ferocious beast.”
…
The square was silent for a moment.
“Son of a bitch. Which asshole yelled that?”
“Are you trying to kill us?”
“Who did this? I’ll beat you to death!”
…
The Players followed the voice and arrived before Occam aggressively.
However…
When they saw the equipment on the ground, they were stunned.
Then, everyone went crazy!
“Dear God, is this robbing the whole game? There’s so much equipment.”
“Boss, I want these two.”
“Boss, I want them all!”
…
When Jeff saw the equipment on the ground, he stared at the blue bow and gulped.
“God, you have so much equipment. Where did you get them from?”
Occam’s lazy voice was heard.
“I picked them up after waking up in the Twilight Forest.”
