Chapter 13: Attribute Plunder
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
It was a big pond in the open air with a pleasant cool breeze around.
Wu Yan had entered the game joyfully, hoping to kill some Magical Frogs with his Anti-armor Damage.
However, perhaps because everything went so smooth, he forgot that his Anti-armor Damage was only effective for Physical-type classes for the time being. There was no way to rebound the Magic Damage.
This was a bit troublesome.
Wu Yan fell into a dilemma.
He glanced at the only two people on his friend list and hesitated.
He remembered "Heaven Punisher" had said that this was also a one-time Special Dungeon.
Yet, this "one-time" meant that each player could only enter it once. The other one in Genocide Dungeon that Wu Yan had previously activated told that there was only one chance to enter this Dungeon during the entire game.
What should he do?
At this time, Wu Yan saw the lotus leaves surrounded by dozens of Magical Frogs in the middle of the pond.
According to what "Heaven Punisher" had said, the door to this mysterious Dungeon was right under the lotus leaves with these Magical Frogs.
If he could not use his Anti-armor Damage, he definitely would not be able to complete this Dungeon as quickly as before.
Wu Yan sighed.
He hadn't enjoyed the pleasure of using his Anti-armor Damage.
Wu Yan checked the information about the Magical Frogs.
"Monster Name: Magical Frog
Level: LV8
HP: 400
DEF: 50
Magic DEF: 80
ATK: 13
Magic ATK: 115
Description: The frog is good at using magic attacks. Its bouncing ability is pretty good."
Wu Yan's heart began to sink when he finished reading the description.
This Dungeon was so against him, who now had no advantage.
He glanced at his Small Fireball with only 50 Magic Damage.
According to the calculation formula of Magic Defense, he could only hit a Magical Frog with 20 HP.
In other words, he would have to use 20 Small Fireballs to kill a single Magical Frog.
It seemed that he could not enter the Dungeon now.
Wu Yan looked at the center of the pond. A mysterious light was shining in the middle of the dozens of Magical Frogs.
He was not willing to leave just like this.
He had to try what attribute he could plunder from the Magical Frogs.
Wu Yan looked around.
Except for the dense cluster of Magical Frogs in the middle, others were scattered around the pond.
He found a Magical Frog that was alone, and he could hear it croak in the game just like in the real world.
"Well, I'm sorry!"
Wu Yan threw a Small Fireball at it.
"-20!"
It was just as he expected.
Calculating damage was one of his advantages. A few days ago, when he was browsing the forums, he realized that many players did not even understand the most common method of calculating damage in this world.
He felt that the official formula was already clear enough. As long as the player could find enough information, it was easy to calculate how much damage there would be.
However, some specific information, such as the boss information, couldn't be found or only a little bit was given. Then it would be difficult to calculate the damage.
Before entering this world, he usually tested the boss' damage by the warriors filled with HP defense in the traditional games.
Now, he could only rely on himself.
Fortunately, the Magical Frog's attack was not powerful. In the calculation formula of intelligence, it would increase his Magic Defense.
Besides, he had some magic defense on his hedgehog equipment. So, the Magical Frog did not hurt him at all.
"-9"
"-11"
...
This kind of weak damage floated on his body. Even the pain was slight because the damage he had received was minor.
The damage in this game was not fixed. For example, the 115 magic attack from the Magical Frog just now floated between 99 and 130.
Similarly, when he continuously attacked the Magical Frog, the actual damage fluctuated between 15 and 25.
However, this small amount of damage fluctuation could make a big difference.
In a duel between experts, the tables would be turned if there was a continuous unexpected low damage.
After attacking for a few minutes, Wu Yan finally killed the Magical Frog, which only had 400 HP.
As expected, a notification popped up on his Talent interface:
"Player Wandering has killed a Magical Frog. Please select the Attribute Plunder of this monster."
"Optional Attribute 1: MP +1.
Optional Attribute 2: Magic Recovery Speed +1%.
Optional Attribute 3: Bounce +1%."
The first one was somewhat useless, but the other two seemed pretty good.
Wu Yan was a little hesitant.
He had repeatedly confirmed that the attribute he could plunder should be one of these three, and it wouldn't be an extended attribute.
In that case, his choice was rather important.
In the introduction of his talent, it was stated that the upper limit of the plunder attributes could be upgraded. But for now, he still had to maximize the benefits.
Fortunately, this plunder attribute selection box allowed him to consider for a long time, which would be half an hour.
The attribute of Magic Recovery Speed was good. But it was not very useful for him currently. His intelligence was already quite high, and his magic points and speed were also the strongest among players at the same level.
When he browsed the forum, he discovered that there were few players with the initial attribute of 8. The exposed highest level of the single initial attribute was 9.
Yet, some experts possibly hadn't revealed their highest attributes.
So, Wu Yan found it really hard to choose.
He had no choice but to take the initiative to contact "Heaven Punisher". This guy was indeed very friendly to him, but his excessive enthusiasm made Wu Yan unable to withstand it.
Judging from Heaven Punisher's few attacks on the monsters, he could definitely be considered an expert player in this world.
"This expert player seems to have the identity of the president. But why would he care so much about me?"
This made Wu Yan a little upset.
However, the options were right in front of him. He had to ask him.
"Brother Heaven Punisher, may I ask if bouncing is really important?" He input the message and sent it over.
In less than 10 seconds, the other party sent over a long string of text.
"Brother Wandering, have you already cleared the Magical Frog Dungeon? Did you get the 10% Bounce attribute?
Let me tell you, bouncing is really important.
Since you've already gotten it, I'll be honest with you. With the Bounce attribute, you can pass the quests with growth-type weapons!"
Wu Yan's heart skipped a beat. He then hurriedly sent a message over. "What is the growth-type weapon?"
Hidden Killer, standing beside Heaven Punisher, could not help but say, "This is a secret of our academy."
"Among the batch of players sent by our academy, only he has a growth-type weapon."
Heaven Punisher waved his hand and said casually, "It doesn't count as a secret!"
Hidden Killer felt a little helpless.
Heaven Punisher had been crazily befriending Wu Yan like his super fan since he met him.
But the two were clearly both called "boss" in the heart of the ordinary players.
Heaven Punisher continued to send messages to Wu Yan with a broad smile on his face.
"Brother Wandering, if there are enough materials to feed it, the growth-type weapon is the ultimate equipment in the game, a weapon that will never go out of style!"
Wu Yan immediately understood.
It meant he would step ahead of the other players if he could obtain this growth-type weapon first.
Wu Yan replied with a "Thank you".
Just as he prepared to continue killing monsters, Heaven Punisher sent another message. "Brother Wandering, when will you come to Main City? We have already arrived here. You can inform us when you're coming over. We have many people here, and we should be able to help you."
Wu Yan was stunned.
He was thinking how he should explain that he might have to stay in this d*mned Magical Frog pond for a while longer.
