TSA Chapter 6

Soon, a level 12 Archer, Traceless Wind and a level 10 Mage Flower Iris joined the team.

“See you at the dungeon’s entrance.” Traceless Wind said briefly.

“Okay!” Feng Tian answered and walked towards the city’s outskirts with Ran Qi.

The entrance to the level 10 dungeon, Shadow Forest, was not far from the East City Gate. Both of them had already arrived at the place after only a short walk.

There were two main types of dungeons in the Magic Realm: Experience Dungeons and Challenge Dungeons.

As the name suggested, the experience dungeon was a dungeon to gain a lot of experience. The monster’s level remained fixed at level 10, making it easier to kill. It was very suitable for newcomers to leveling. However, the boss equipment drop rate was very low.

The challenge dungeon was the difficult version of the experience dungeon. The difficulty of the challenge dungeon increased significantly, with the monsters’ attacks and defenses being significantly increased, and the level of the bosses calculated based on the average level of the team members. Although the challenge dungeon gave little experience, the bosses were prone to dropping good stuff and were an important source of equipment for players.

If a team got the first kill of the challenge dungeon’s boss or the first clear dungeon in the game, the system would make a server-wide announcement and give the entire team’s achievement rewards.

Experience dungeons could be entered 5 times daily, and challenge dungeons could only be entered 1 time daily, resetting at 8 AM daily.

“Shadow Forest experience dungeon. There’s a tank and a healer. Need 2 random DPS!”

“Shadow Forest experience dungeon. Beta test veteran leads the team. Need random DPS!”

“Experience dungeon, swordsman team! Need healer to heal!”

It had been seven or eight hours since the server was opened. Many people had reached level 10, so there were a lot of people who came to clear the dungeon. The entrance of the dungeon was almost impenetrable. People constantly shouted in the nearby channels to search for a team member, and the screen swiping speed was fast.

However, at this time, all the team went to the experience dungeon. The difficulty for the experience dungeon was too high. People only dared to challenge when they were above level 15 and fully equipped. Otherwise, it would definitely go to be a team annihilation. Now, there were only 3 people in total who were above level 15, so there had been no system announcements about the dungeon.

“We’re here. Where are you guys?” Traceless Wind asked on the team channel.

“We are here too.” There were so many people around that they couldn’t see their teammates. They could only communicate on the team channel.

Traceless Wind said, “Then just call two more random people and then go straight in.”

The Shadow Forest was a dungeon designed for six people. It had a priest responsible for healing and other random professions. If everyone did their part and didn’t slack off, they could easily navigate through it without any issues.

“Wait a minute. I’ll ask my friend if he’s coming.” Ran Qi finally remembered his little friend Gu Le. He hurriedly opened the friend list, searching for the player with the nickname ‘Coke’.

However, the ‘Coke’ profession he found was not an archer, but a warrior. His level had already reached 14.

Is there another person who gets the ID first?

Ran Qi hesitated, but first applied to add the other party as a friend, and then sent a private message to the other.

[Private Chat] Bai Ran: Gu Le?

[Private Chat] Coke: Okay youuu! What’s taking you so long to get out of the Novice Village ah? I turn into a fossil waiting for you!

Ran Qi touched his nose. He didn’t dare to say that he overslept and entered the game two hours late.

[Private Chat] Bai Ran: It’s a bit delayed. Won’t you come to the experience dungeon?

[Private Chat] Coke: I’m done. I’ve found the team to farm monsters in the wild. You can do the dungeon by yourself.

[Private Chat] Bai Rain: Okay. Why are you playing Warrior? Didn’t you say you want to play Archer?

[Private Chat] Coke: Ha, don’t mention it. When I entered the game, I wanted to choose archer, but the system analyzed that I wasn’t suitable for the archer profession. The system recommended I choose the warrior. I had no way…

[Private Chat] Bai Ran: … That’s fine, right? … I’m gonna clear the dungeon first…

Ran Qi, who somewhat had a guilty conscience, ended the conversation with Gu Le. “My friend already finished the dungeon. Let’s call out to someone.”

“Okay.”

Feng Tian shouted a few words in the nearby channel. It didn’t take long for a level 11 assassin named Ba Ge.

Ba Ge: “I have another friend named Yuena. Can I bring her along?”

“Of course ah.”

Not long after, Yuena also joined the team, a level 10 female priest.

“Three priests…?” Flower Iris couldn’t help but speak up.

Although they were safe with three priests, it would be very slow and delayed time if the attack power wasn’t enough.

“I’m sorry. I’m not very good at healing, but my weapon has an attack buff. I’ll try my best to fight the monster.” Yuena’s voice was sweet. Her tone sounded timid and would make it hard to refuse her request.

“It’s okay. Anyway, the experience dungeon is easy. If it does not work, I’ll fight the monsters together too!” The good-natured Feng Tian stood forward as a peacemaker.

Now that Yuena and Feng Tian both took the initiative to help fight monsters, Flower Iris didn’t say anything more.

“Go, go, go! Enter the dungeon!” The captain, Feng Tian stepped forward to open the dungeon. The team members who were near the dungeon teleported in together.

After entering the dungeon, Rang Qi finally met the other team members. Traceless Wind was a handsome guy whose looks were as serious as his personality. Flower Iris was a mature royal sister. Ba Ge was dressed in all black and looked cool. Yuena was a pretty girl with an innocent temperament.

After a brief greeting to each other, everyone was ready to fight.

“Bai Ran, you’re in charge of healing. Take time to replenish everyone’s HP and call me if you’re too busy to do so.” Feng Tian said to Ran Qi.

There was only one boss in Shadow Forest, and the rest were hordes of mobs. Although the mobs’ attack power was low, there were a lot of them. If they were surrounded, it was still very dangerous. After all, everyone was just a novice now. Their HP and defense were low. They could die if they were not careful.

Players within the dungeon still had a boun death limit. No one wanted to be forced offline for seven days. Ran Qi had two skills, Healing and Recovery, which counted as a powerful healing. With Feng Tian’s assistance from the side, safety was still guaranteed.

“Okay.” Ran Qi happily agreed.

“Why are you replying so fast?” Traceless Wind couldn’t help but show a surprised expression when he heard their conversation.

“Yes. My brother is super lucky. I watched him get the Recovery skill book from the treasure chest!” Feng Tian said proudly, “Come on everyone. Our team has enough healing to keep everyone alive!”

The Recovery skill could restore a player’s HP by 20 points and 5 mana points every 3 seconds. The duration was 180 seconds, which was equivalent to everyone having an additional buff state that automatically resorted HP and mana within three minutes. It really gave people a sense of safety.

“Recovery skill is amazing ah! I’m so envious. I want to have a new skill too.” After Yuena saw the effect of Recovery skills, she couldn’t help but say with envy.

“It’s okay. I’ll get you a skill book later.” Hearing this, Ba Ge patted his chest and assured her.

“Really? Thank you Ba Ge.”

Yuena smiled sweetly, and Ba Gi smiled back dotingly.

Ran Qi was surprised to be stuffed with a mouthful of dog food. Feeling snoozy, he expressionlessly brushed everyone with a Recovery skill before saying, “You can hit the monsters.”

Everyone rushed up and began to clear the mobs. Although Feng Tian and Yuena’s attacks were not as high as those of Wind Traceless and the other, they were still passable. They were not too slow in clearing up the mobs.

They got a lot of experience from this experience dungeon. After killing only three or four waves of mobs, Ran Qi’s experience bar had already risen by 40%. The Boss behind had a richer experience. Ran Qi should be able to level up to level 13 after clearing the dungeon 5 times.

“There’s a boss fight coming up soon. I’ll change the distribution mode to captain distribution. Are you guys okay with that?” Feng Tian asked.

“Is that necessary? This dungeon barely drops equipment ah.” Ba Ge was surprised.

“My brother is so lucky. Maybe it will drop? Anyway, in case we do drop equipment. We will divide it according to our needs.” Feng Tian also said the ugly words in advance, lest there really be something good later, it wouldn’t be good for a few people to fight for it.

“Okay.” Although several people felt that the possibility of dropping equipment was very low, they all agreed.

The boss was a tall Orc, with thick skin and thick meat. The orc held a sledgehammer and round shield in his hand. He could attack and defend, not to mention the high attack power, he would also use his sledgehammer to hit the ground to cause a group stun effect on the players. So, their position when fighting the monster was very important.

According to the normal way of fighting, one person needed to hold the orc’s hatred and then run all over the field with it, while the others took advantage of the opportunity to attack. It would be much easier to blow the orc’s shield first and then hit the orc.

However, now they were relying on the buff status and two priests to heal. They didn’t even bother to run, so they just stood on the pile and attacked. It didn’t matter if they were stunned, as long as Ran Qi stood far away from the boss, he could heal them in time.

Of course, they dared to do this only in this ordinary dungeon. If it was a challenge dungeon, they couldn’t stand still to attack. It would be a dead end.

Without having to run, the fight was much more efficient. Even though two of the four of them were also priests with low attack power, they quickly ground the boss to death.

Experience dungeon was easy. Six people could finish five dungeons in one go.

Only one last time, when the orc boss fell. He left a dusty wooden chest on the ground.

“I can’t believe it. We really dropped something?” Everyone was shocked. The item drop rate of the experience dungeon boss was simply outrageously low. They didn’t expect that a treasure chest really dropped.

Although it was a wooden treasure chest. It was still a treasure chest ah!

“Hahaha, what did I say before? My brother’s luck is good!” Feng Tian was overjoyed and then patted Ran Qi’s shoulder. “Brother. You go and open the chest!”

Ran Qi walked to the treasure chest helplessly and then took out a C-grade Hash browns recipe from inside.

[Hash browns – Recipe]

Grade: C

Description: After using it, you can learn how to make hash browns. After consuming, the hash browns can restore 100 HP and mana.

“It is a food recipe that can restore HP and mana. Let’s see who wants it.”

In the captain distribution mode, the items picked up would be temporarily stored in the team package. The team members could open the team page to view the contents inside. If someone wanted it, the captain could directly distribute it.

“I’m not interested in food recipes, I just like to eat them and don’t like to make them.” Feng Tian said directly, “If any of you want it, say it.”

“I want it.” Two female voices rang out at the same time. It was Flower Iris and Yuena.

Yuena bit her lip and glanced at Flower Iris timidly before saying, “Sister Flower Iris, I’ve already learned the cooking skill. I really want this recipe.”

Flower Iris frowned slightly. She disliked Yuena’s speaking attitude, so she replied in a hard tone, “I also learned the cooking skill. I want this recipe too.”

It was normal for girls to be interested in life skills, but they didn’t expect that both of them had already learned the cooking skill.

Yuena lowered her eyes, pursed her lips, and stopped talking.

Although Ran Qi didn’t like this basic recipe, it was still useful for other players.

After level 10, it was impossible to rely on doing quests to upgrade. People could only upgrade by going to the dungeons and farming monsters in the wild. This kind of food that could quickly restore HP and mana became very useful. Not only did it taste good, but it could also quickly restore their state. It would be quite a sale after making it.

Seeing the two girls were unwilling to give up, the atmosphere gradually became stagnant. Feng Tian hurriedly came out to fix the situation. He thought for a moment and then said, “Let’s do it this way. I’ll change it to a die-rolling distribution mode and both of you can roll the dice. The recipe will belong to whoever has the highest points.”

In the roll distribution mode, team members could tap the items in the team’s package to roll the dice. Everyone’s points would be displayed in the team channel. When all players had finished rolling the dice, the system would automatically distribute the items to the person with the highest number of points.

Seeing that everyone had no objections, Feng Tian modified the distribution mode.

Flower Iris threw 74 points, while Yuena threw 63 points. It was agreed in advance that the rest of them would not participate in the rolling. Flower Iris who got the higher number of points got the recipe.

When Ran Qi was about to give up, he saw another message swiped out in the team channel.

[System] Ba Ge threw 81 points.

“Ba Ge, what are you doing?” Feng Tian frowned. When he asked everyone about their needs just now, Ba Ge didn’t say anything. When the two girls were competing fairly, he suddenly jumped out to cut off the others. It was rude.

“I’m with Yuena. Her luck has never been very good, so I’ll help her. We fought together, so I should have the right to participate in the distribution, right?” Ba Ge rubbed the back of his head with a slightly embarrassed expression.

“Then I’m with Flower Iris. I should also have the right to participate in the distribution?” Traceless Wind sneered.

The atmosphere became awkward once again. In the end, it was Feng Tian who helplessly stepped forward. “Since this is the case. Why don’t all of us roll the dice? Everyone has the right to participate in the distribution, and whoever has a high number of points gets this recipe. This will ensure fairness.”

The person who just said that everyone had the right to participate in the distribution was Ba Ge, so neither Ba Ge nor Yuena had any way to object.

So the remaining three also threw the dice.

Traceless Wind threw 51 points, Feng Tian got 11 points, and Ran Qi got 99 points.

[Player <Bai Ran> obtain <Hash browns – Recipe>.]

Ran Qi: “…”

He really doesn’t need this…
