Within Wolf King Valley, Su Yu was also following the ranking board.
“A Thousand Cups Unintoxicated, Frost Red Tea, Cang Shan You Jing… I didn’t expect these masters to distinguish themselves so early,” Su Yu said with a sigh.
Cang Shan You Jing was a famous hardworking player from the Zhan Tian guild, an expert in game plots who had an extremely acute sense for hidden tasks.
Frost Red Tea was a lone ranger and the top assassin in his previous life, with an undisputed status in the gaming world.
As for A Thousand Cups Unintoxicated, this guy was very interesting.
A Thousand Cups Unintoxicated was also a lone ranger and one of the most legendary characters in the early stages of the game.
In the real world, he was born into a martial arts family and his martial skills were the best in the entire China martial arts circle without a doubt.
What he knew was not the fancy yet ineffective martial arts meant for performance, but true martial arts!
After entering the game, due to his incredible skills, no minor monsters could land a hit on him. He was like a walking 100% dodge rate, making him the player with the fastest leveling speed in the game.
But he didn’t like the assassin profession. He felt it didn’t suit his character because assassins moved stealthily, so he didn’t play seriously in the early stages.
When the third expansion pack “Pandaren Empire” was launched and four new professions – Martial Artist, Monk, Taoist and Alchemist – were added, A Thousand Cups Unintoxicated accepted the hidden mission to change his profession to Martial Artist. With his extraordinary strength and heaven-defying luck, he rose to the top quickly, becoming a player who could rival Snow Leopard in the third expansion pack.
These three players were undoubtedly the top dogs in the game.
Su Yu casually sent a friend request to A Thousand Cups Unintoxicated and Frost Red Tea.
After waiting for a while, he received no response.
Perhaps they were overwhelmed with a flood of friend requests from other players and were too busy to respond.
Shaking his head, Su Yu opened his own property panel.
After leveling up to level 10, Su Yu’s property panel read:
Character: [Nemesis]
Level: LVIO
Profession: Mage
Bloodline: [Star Bloodline (Legendary)]
Attributes:
Strength: 14, Agility: 14, Intelligence: 46, Constitution: 14, Luck: 10
Magic Power: 66 Health Points: 170 Mana Points: 1280

Wealth: 7,378,758,150 Spiritual Energy Coins
Equipment: [Village Chief’s Staff Lv5 (Rare Gold)], [Hill Sheep’s Leather Cap
Lv4 (Rare)]… [Tear of the Goddess (Epic)]
Skills: [Magic Bullet (Rare)], [Star Pointer (Legendary)]…[Lightning Shield
(Rare)].
There was a significant boost when leveling up to 10.
His equipment and skills could be upgraded again, up to the legendary quality.
“Ding, do you want to spend 10,000 spiritual energy coins to enhance [Magic
Bullet (Rare)]?”
“Confirm!”
“Ding, please select the enhancement direction for [Magic Bullet]: 1.
[Elemental Burst]: After hitting an enemy, it deals 30% damage to all enemies within 4 meters; 2. [Spell Control]: You can guide it over a small distance after casting. ”
“Note: The enhancement direction can be changed with 10,000 spiritual energy coins.”
Upgrading to epic quality even grants the option to choose an enhancement direction?
“Choose…2.” Su Yu picked one at random, since he doesn’t use this spell anyway.
“Congratulations! The quality of [Magic Bullet (Rare)] has been upgraded to [Magic Bullet (Epic)]”.
A dazzling golden aura surrounded Su Yu’s [Magic Bullet] skill icon, then exploded in a grand display.
The color of the [Magic Bullet] skill icon turned to a pleasing purple.
Su Yu didn’t stop, he continued to upgrade.
“Ding, please confirm the enhancement direction for [Ice Arrow]: 1. [Icy Bone Piercing]: Add 15% chance to freeze the enemy; 2. [Star Bloodline]: Every third casting of the spell costs zero mana consumption.”
“Choose 1.”
“Ding, please confirm the enhancement direction for [Frost Shield]: 1. [Physical Barrier]: Nullify the first physical damage you receive; 2. [Magic Barrier]: Nullify the first magic damage you receive. (Note: The damage nullified cannot exceed 10 times the maximum shield value).”
“Choose 1.”
“Ding, please confirm the enhancement direction for [Electric Chain]: 1.
[Elemental Echo]: 20% chance to cast one additional spell of the same type; 2.
[Multiple Bounces]: The number of damage bounce increases to 5.”
“Choose 2.”
“Ding, please confirm the enhancement direction for [Flash Skill]: 1. [Flash]: The skill has two charges; 2. [Fold Over]: Teleportation distance increases by 5 meters.”
“Choose 1.”
“Ding, please confirm the enhancement direction for [Invisibility Skill]: 1.
[Stealth Master]: Cooldown time reduces by 1 minute; 2. [Stealth Break Strike]:
Your first spell or attack damage increases by 30% when in stealth.”
“Choose 1.”
Su Yu spent some time enhancing all his skills.
Skills being upgraded to legendary quality not only increased attributes, but also added some extra features.
Some features were not of much use to Su Yu, such as the reduced mana consumption feature of [Ice Arrow].
But some features were very powerful!
Like the [Physical Barrier] special feature of [Frost Shield].
Su Yu did a rough estimate. If he conjured [Frost Shield], he could currently resist the first attack from a level 30 warrior or archer. In the real world, it would be like shielding against a bullet from a handgun.
And as his level continues to rise, this feature will become more and more powerful!
At high levels, it will even be possible to withstand a missile explosion!
Aside from skills, his equipment can also be enhanced.
But after having a look around, the only thing he needed to strengthen was the [Village Chief’s Staff]. There was no need to uplift the other cloth armor at the moment.
He currently has adequate damage output, wearing dual-speed gear is better, allowing him to level up and complete tasks more quickly.
If there comes a time when he encounters a boss he can’t defeat, or when his leveling speed slows down, then he’ll think about swapping out for high-level cloth armor.
So, Su Yu only strengthened the [Village Chief’s Staff].
“Ding, please confirm the enhancement direction for [Village Chief’s Staff]: 1.
Add Skill: [Flash Skill]; 2. Magic Power +10.”
“There’s an ‘Add Skill’ option?” Su Yu’s eyes lit up.
Without giving it a second thought, he directly chose 1.
Add Skill was generally something only legendary quality equipment had. He didn’t expect that when [Village Chief’s Staff] was strengthened, it actually had an option to add a skill!
Adding a [Flash Skill] to [Village Chief’s Staff] meant that even if Su Yu didn’t have this skill, he could still cast [Flash Skill] using [Village Chief’s Staff].
Moreover, the [Flash Skill] on [Village Chief’s Staff] did not share a cooldown with his own [Flash Skill].
In other words, along with the added charge from the upgraded [Flash Skill], Su Yu could cast three [Flash Skills] consecutively in a short period of time! This greatly increased his chances of survival!
