Chapter 14：Brother Is Back

Da Fei stayed in a rented place in a small market place on the outskirts of the city. There were a variety of restaurants, grocery shops, and hair salons on the street downstairs. It was a rather complicated neighborhood. However, the rent here was not much cheaper. It was not easy to survive in big cities. But it would be different very soon. He was going to be rich!

In a good mood, Da Fei went to a restaurant downstairs and ordered a plate of stir-fried meat. Usually, he would drink a little. But he decided to forget it as it would be possible he had to stay up all night.

Xiao Li should be doing self-study now, right? Although it was the vacation, Xiao Li was a good and hardworking child. She was always in the study room, similar to her brother who always had a place in the internet cafe. Xiao Li also had a good habit—she would turn off her mobile phone when she was studying. It was precisely because of this that Da Fei had a chance to hook up with her roommates!

Da Fei called Xiao Li's dormitory number. The phone rang for a while. Just as Da Fei was going to hang up, someone picked up the phone.

—"Hello! Who are you looking for?"

Da Fei's heart skipped a beat. It was Xiao Fang indeed! She was the number one geek in Xiao Li's dormitory! He had seen her once when he delivered something to Xiao Li! She was a beautiful bespectacled lady! He heard that she usually played games in the dormitory and skipped classes! Even so, her results had always been good. A genius, indeed! It took her so long to pick up the phone, was she in the toilet?

Da Fei covered his mouth as he chuckled. "Xiao Fang ah, it's brother!" Sister's elder brother would, of course, be sister's classmate's elder brother as well!

Xiao Fang laughed. "It turns out to be Big Brother. What is it?"

Oh! This voice is really mesmerizing! But "Big Brother" is not affectionate at all. How about calling me "bro"?

Da Fei laughed. "This, you're not going home during the vacation?"

Xiao Fang smiled. "It feels uneasy at home. Xiao Li went to the study room. Big Brother, do you need me to pass her a message?"

Aye, chat with me more. Why did you jump into the topic so quickly?

Da Fei said, disappointed. "Well, what day is Xiao Li's train? I want to pass her something to bring back."

Xiao Fang oh-ed. "She should be leaving the day after tomorrow, in the afternoon. As for the specific timing, you should be able to find out. Is there anything else, Big Brother? Else, I'm hanging up."

Oh, Xiao Fang seemed to be busy today. Da Fei laughed. "Thanks. That's all!"

—"See you around, then, Big Brother!" And she hung up.

Da Fei shook his head with a bitter smile. The female students now were all so shrewd. They could tell immediately that he was trying to hit on them. It was inevitable that he was their laughing stock. Xiao Li did not talk much about them as well. No choice, he was simply too lonely! When he became rich, he was going to buy a sea-view suite, then marry a beautiful junior! Xiao Fang was not bad! Haha, hahaha…

…

After his meal, Da Fei went home and got online.

It was getting late, the sound of the wave remained unchanged. Da Fei habitually took out his telescope to look. He only saw Raging Sea of Blood struggling. He sat on the beach waiting for his Health to recover. It was time to rest. One's Stamina was limited, after all.

The night came and the tide retreated. Da Fei finally stood up. He would conquer the shipwreck tonight!

Da Fei turned back and smiled at the pile of bones. "Uncle Juan, thank you!"

Da Fei's Damage was now 4-6. It was easy to attack a 0 Defense and 11 HP anemone. He was able to kill it in two to three hits of his pike. Before he leveled up, if he was unlucky, even five or six hits would not cause enough damage to kill it. The efficiency had improved more than two or three times. It was just that it seemed that the effects of enchanted toxin did its work with anemones.

It didn't matter anymore. Level 6, I'm coming! Wahahaha.

…

Shipwreck.

According to Raging Sea of Blood, these cursed two hours were as excruciating as an entire day in reality. Other curses could be tolerated, but the delay in Attack Speed could not be tolerated. Not only did one get attacked at the first meeting, but it would also take two or three attacks before one could kill a skeleton. Even though each attack only took 1HP, one only had 30HP. In between killing every eight or nine skeletons, one would have to go ashore to rest and recover their HP. Almost one-third of their time was wasted waiting for the HP to recover! This efficiency of leveling was enough to make Raging Sea of Blood smash his computer.

It was getting dark, he had finally waited out for the curse to run its course. The number of skeleton spawns increased on the deck. He could finally kill them with one attack. Raging Sea of Blood could finally vent the grievances he felt the entire day! 50 kills! 100 kills! 200 kills!

Finally, there was a golden flash of light. Level 6!

Raging Sea of Blood upgraded his attack 50% close-combat damage at Master-level and added the attribute points to his Attack. He was not more than capable of taking down the Boss!

Raging Sea of Blood laughed out loud. "Magic Book, here I come!"

Only when he experienced the pain of black magic could he understand the pleasure of torturing others!

Raging Sea of Blood charged all the way to the cabin, but suddenly, there were no more skeletons. Eh? Were there no more spawns? As he was wondering, heavy footsteps came from the hallway in front of him. This was definitely not the sound of skeletons!

Raging Sea of Blood frowned and prepared himself! It appeared! It was a zombie!

Raging Sea of Blood was so shocked he cursed. "Damn it. Why is it a zombie!?"

—Zombie: Attack: 1, Defense: 2, Damage: 1-2, Health: 17, Attack Speed: Very slow 6, Movement Speed: 4, EXP: 10, Command Value: 1. Special Skill: Mid-level Defense Skills.

Zombies, the famous Level 2 army of the Undead, and the famous protagonist of apocalypses! In this game, the zombies' Attack, Defense, Damage, and Attack Speed were at the bottom of the second-class army. They were no better than the Level 1 army. But its Health was 17 and it came with an Intermediate Defense of 20% close-combat damage reduction. High spawns and low cost allowed it to drop to the strongest cannon fodder among the low-level army! Of course, it was also the most popular in terms of EXP value among players!

While looking at the slow-moving zombies, Raging Sea of Blood, who was in shock, did not think of them as EXP at all!

How could this be? Were the Boss' summons spawns upgraded because I leveled up? These are zombies with 17 HP. Not skeletons with 5 HP that I can kill with just one attack! It will take at least three attacks to kill one! Raging Sea of Blood began to quickly calculate the cost of killing a Zombie:

Zombie's Attack Speed: 6, my Attack Speed: 12. It can only strike back once after two attacks. Its 2 points of Defense offsets my 2 points of Attack. My 4-7 Damage can cause 5-9 Damage. Its Intermediate Defense offsets my Level 2 Defense skills with only a 30% damage bonus. The final damage is 6.5-11! It will take two to three attacks! No matter whether it's two or three attacks, I will need to suffer its attack once. If I'm cursed, it will take three to four attacks…

No! It can't be calculated this way! The Damage of Zombies is lower than that of Skeletons, but the Attack Speed is almost twice as slow. I can completely ignore the siege of Zombies and go for the Boss! In other words, it might seem that the summons have become stronger, but in fact, it's easier to fight the Boss!

At this moment, the first Zombie approached Raging Sea of Blood. Raging Sea of Blood raised the sword and slashed the Zombie twice before it fell to the ground. Before the Zombie died, Raging Sea of Blood suffered -1 HP.

Raging Sea of Blood was furious! Why was his Attack Speed 12 and not 12.1!? If only his Attack Speed was a little higher, even by 0.001, he would be able to take the Zombie down in two attacks without suffering any loss of HP. As it was, when he charged to attack the Boss, he would already be covered with blood!

Damn it. As long as he still had 24 HP, even if he was cursed, he would be able to get rid of the 16 HP Spirit!

Hence, Raging Sea of Blood charged forward killing the Zombies and reached the cabin where the Magic Book was located. He was once again dumbfounded!

The Boss upgraded as well! It was no longer a Spirit with 16 HP. It was a more advanced form of the Spirit, Wraith!

—Wraith: Attack: 2, Defense: 5, Damage: 4-6, Health: 20, Attack Speed: 15, Command Value: 2, Special Skill: Void Body, Absorb Magic.

—Absorb Magic: Wraith can suck the enemy's Magical Value to restore its HP. Can only be used once in each battle.

Isn't it just a little more blood, a little more Damage, a little more Attack and Defense! I'm not afraid of your Draw Magic! I'm going all out! Raging Sea of Blood gritted his teeth and charged toward it again, cursed…

…

Low tide beach, after countless sea anemones, the golden light flashed above Da Fei's head!

—System Message: Congratulations, you have reached Level 6! HP+2. You have obtained 1 Strategy Attribute, 1 Skill Point, and your Command Value increased by 1.

Da Fei sighed a breath of relief. He had been buried in the game for three days! At last, there was some achievement! Da Fei opened his Reconnaissance Skill book and a golden light flashed!

—System Message: You used one Skill Point and learned Reconnaissance Skill sub-skill "Hidden Movement"!

—Hidden Movement: Hero will not be discoverable by enemies and monsters within a certain distance. The actual effects will vary based on the level of Reconnaissance Skill, level of enemies, time, and location. When the hero uses Hidden Movement, he cannot lead any troops. Learning Requirements: Advanced Reconnaissance Skill.

This was Hidden Movement! A must-learn core skill for die-hard adventure treasure hunters! It was the most charismatic skill in the entire Reconnaissance Skill! It was also an indispensable skill for all kinds of thief-themed games, similar to Stealth. From a practical point of view, such a skill was definitely a godly skill. However, in this game, it was not easy to use Stealth in the daytime. At least, it could not blind people in broad daylight. One still had to use shadows of corner obstacles to enhance the effect.

My HP is now 30. Damage of 4-6 with strange paralysis poison is no weaker than Godly Heroes. Now, I even learned Hidden Movement. I'm finally a Godly Hero who can attack, retreat or hide!

Shipwreck, here I come!

Before he left, Da Fei waved to the sea anemones. "Sea anemone comrades, it's been hard on you!"
