Online Games: From Professional Gold Farmer to Night King

"Wow! Armor-Piercing Arrow? Even in the late game, this skill should still be a mainstream damage skill for archers. I remember the official announcement said that at max level it ignores 40% of defense. Not bad! It should be worth at least a few gold coins."

Aside from the basic skills that can be learned, 90% of the skills in the Spirit Realm must be acquired by the player, which greatly increases the difficulty for players to obtain skills.

In addition, due to the limitation of skill points, the gap between ordinary players and RMB players is enormous.

If you don't invest, your capabilities will be severely limited, and you might not even be able to form a team.

To invest, one must save money or exchange it for currency, which leads to a high exchange value for in-game currency, thus creating a virtuous cycle.

This is why many professional gold farmers have emerged in the game, and some have even formed studios to farm gold in teams.

Wang Xing is one of them.

After putting away the skill book, Wang Xing couldn't wait to change into the Parodin set.

With the change of equipment, the original earthy yellow Stone Giant set was transformed into the light green Parodin set.

Her whole body radiated a bluish-green light, which, combined with the light green color of her equipment, made her look extremely beautiful, like a forest elf, her whole body filled with the scent of grass and trees.

The only downside is... this helmet is also green...

Opening the panel and looking at the current attribute values, Wang Xing felt a sense of "I am invincible".

[ID]: Night

[Level]: 20 (4%)

[Reputation]: 520

[Class]: Summoner

[Talent]: Night Raven (Black Level) LV21: Summons 21 Night Ravens to assist in combat.

Skill Points: 14

[Skills]: Summon Giant Wolf, Mental Combat Technique, Long Weapon Mastery, Summon Flower Fairy

[Money]: 19 Gold Coins, 26 Silver Coins, 32 Copper Coins

【equipment】:

[Trialist's Staff] (Bronze): Attack, Magic Attack +82, Strength +12, Intelligence +12, Durability: 35/35

[Stone Giant Boots]: Defense +15, Magic Defense +12, Movement Speed ​​+2

[Parodin Set]: Health +780, Defense +258, Magic Defense +237, Constitution +44, Spirit +27

[Trialist's Medal - Summoner] (Abyss): All attributes of summoned beasts +10%

[Heart of the Demon Hunter]: All attributes +100

...

With 2960 health points and 448 defense points, plus an additional 100 health points regenerated per minute, these stats are comparable to a defensive warrior, except for the lack of a shield.

His magic defense has reached a terrifying 579 points! It's no exaggeration to say that at this stage, it's almost impossible for a mage to inflict significant damage on Wang Xing.

Even if the First Mage's Past Events are gone with the wind, it's impossible for it to deal four-digit damage to Wang Xing.

Of course, if the past is equipped with the Star Ring, then who knows!

After all, the attributes of this ring are so powerful that they are enough to boost the output of "Past Events Gone with the Wind" to a whole new level.

"There are no more worthwhile dungeons to farm in Ironstone City for now. It's time to return to Crescent Moon City to complete the main quest and acquire skills!"

Looking at his skill points, which had already reached 14, Wang Xing thought for a moment and decided to max out the "Summon Flower Fairy" skill.

Although he doesn't lack damage output right now, no one would complain about having higher damage output, right?

[Successfully upgraded "Summon Flower Fairy" to LV4, consuming 4 skill points.]

[Successfully upgraded "Summon Flower Fairy" to LV5, consuming 5 skill points.]

...

"Summon the Flower Fairy!"

A green magic circle appeared, and the flower fairy reappeared in front of Wang Xing.

[Flower Fairy] LV1

[Health Points]: 1200 (+680) +2 Health Points per point of Spirit (+10%)

【双防】：100（+34）每10点精神+1双防(+10%）

【攻击】：350（+170）每2精神+1魔法攻击力（+10%）

[Skills]: Thorn Flower, Vine Binding

...

Although its health and defense are still very low, much worse than the giant wolf, its attack power far surpasses the giant wolf's, by a full 160 points.

Based on the 130% magic attack damage of the Thorn Clone, each spike fired can deal more than 650 damage, and x2 would be more than 1300 damage.

Even when facing an Abyss-level BOSS, each spike can still deal 400 damage, which is already a very high output at this stage.

Wang Xingguang's output ability with this "Summoning Flower Fairy" skill is almost comparable to that of a level 25 mage.

Although the single-target skill damage is not high, its advantage lies in its sustained damage!

These spikes have no cooldown time; they fire one approximately every 3 seconds, and their overall output is higher than that of a mage.

If we could find a dozen or twenty summoners with the "Summon Flower Fairy" skill to assist us, it would greatly increase our kill speed when defeating high-level bosses.

Wang Xing closed the summoning beast panel and checked the time. It was already 11:03, less than an hour away from the agreed-upon 12 o'clock.

"It's time to go back."

After taking out the Return Scroll and opening it, Wang Xing's body turned into a white light and disappeared from the spot.

Inside the iron stone, a flash of white light appeared, and Wang Xing appeared in the safe zone.

"My equipment needs repairing, I should head to the blacksmith first."

It took us about ten minutes to walk to the blacksmith's shop.

An NPC around 40 years old, with the name "Li the Blacksmith" on his head.

"Hello, I'd like to have some equipment repaired."

"Alright, adventurer." The blacksmith put down his hammer, waved to Wang Xing, and then a panel appeared in front of Wang Xing.

[Trialist's Staff]: Durability 7/35 (Repair cost: 2 silver coins 55 copper coins)

[Stone Giant Boots]: Durability 10/25 (Repair cost: 78 copper coins)

(Note: Summoned beasts will also cause wear and tear on the player's weapon when they attack.)

...

Since Wang Xing's equipment was all newly replaced, apart from his boots, none of the rest needed repair.

However, he never expected that the Trialer's Staff would cost 2.5 silver coins to repair!

Add the Stone Giant Boots, and it comes to 3.3 silver coins, which is close to 1,000 RMB.

Anyone who's been kind enough to know that the repair cost for those two pieces of equipment is nearly a thousand yuan!

Wang Xing now finally understands why the price of in-game currency remains so high, and also why it's so difficult for ordinary players to accumulate in-game currency.

Besides the money spent on medicine, repairing equipment is also a major expense.

The two combined are enough to deplete the hard-earned coins of ordinary players, and sometimes they are not even enough, so they have to make up for it themselves by exchanging RMB in order to continue fighting monsters and leveling up.

Otherwise, without medicine and durability, it would be impossible to even level up.
