Online Games: From Professional Gold Farmer to Night King

The Dark Forest is located north of Xuan Yue City. It takes about an hour to reach it after exiting the north gate.

The monsters here are all level 30-35, and players generally don't appear here. Therefore, since Wang Xing stepped into the Dark Forest, he has hardly encountered any players.

Wang Xing was happy to have some peace and quiet, since the hidden quest required killing the black cat, which was definitely a special boss. It wouldn't be good if other players found out.

...

The Gale Monkey is a level 30 monster, and it's an agile attack type monster. It's fast, has high attack and high critical hit rate, but low defense and health. It's one of the monster types that players least want to encounter.

However, the monsters that other players don't want to encounter are the monsters that Wang Xing likes to encounter the most.

There's no other reason than that Wang Xing's Night Raven can achieve a one-shot kill.

No matter how high its attack power is, it can't withstand a concentrated barrage of fire from the Night Raven.

And so, they continued to kill monsters and venture deeper into the area, soon arriving at the area indicated by the quest.

According to the area display, the black cat could appear within a 500-meter radius. Wang Xing's task was to move around within this area to lure the black cat out.

Just as Wang Xing was pondering how to make the master thief Black Cat show himself, a whooshing sound suddenly came from the air.

"Whoosh~"

Wang Xing instinctively turned around, like a venomous snake spitting its tongue, and stabbed forward with his stick. "Bang!"

A dark figure was instantly stabbed away, and at the same time, a yellow damage indicator and a white damage indicator appeared above its head.

-148

-174

...

The first one is the normal attack damage, and the second one is the additional true damage from mental energy. The two damage values ​​add up to more than 300 points.

A single basic attack can deal over 300 damage to the boss, making Wang Xing's damage output comparable to that of top-tier warriors at this stage.

At this moment, the dark figure took a few steps back to steady himself, and Wang Xing was able to see the person clearly with the help of the moonlight.

A short man dressed in black, almost entirely covered in the clothing, his face obscured, making it impossible to discern his features.

【Black Cat the Thief】(Special Boss)

Health: 149678/150000

Attack: 770

Defense: 300

Magic Defense: 280

Skills: Ambush, Backstab, Poison Needle, Throat Slit, Smoke Bomb

...

Looking at the black cat's attributes, Wang Xing had a pretty good idea of ​​what it was like.

"15 HP, 300 defense, and with the Night Raven's attack power boosted by Dark Night Affinity, each attack deals 600 damage. 22 Night Ravens in one wave can deal 13200 damage. If Bloodlust is activated, it won't even last the Night Ravens 10 seconds. Pretty easy!"

"Boy! Who are you? Are you here to arrest me?!" The black cat pointed a 30-centimeter-long short knife at Wang Xing and said fiercely.

At this moment, Wang Xing noticed that the black cat's original red health bar had disappeared, replaced by a green name, and it was in an unattackable state.

"This should be the mission communication phase; we cannot launch an attack."

After thinking it through, Wang Xing directly stated his purpose: "I've been entrusted by someone to retrieve my family heirloom ring."

"A family heirloom ring? Oh, I remember now, you're talking about that guy named Ak from the backstreet, right? Yes, I did steal a special ring from his house. I haven't had a chance to examine it closely yet. What? You want it back?"

"yes!"

"Hehehehe...If that's the case...then let's see who's the real deal!"

"Bang!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a smoke grenade was thrown out, turning an area of ​​four or five meters around into a whiteout, making it impossible to see anything.

"Bloodlust and berserk!"

"Croak~!!!"

The 22 night crows went berserk instantly. Unable to find each other, they all circled around Wang Xing, forming a relatively dense protective net.

Whenever a black cat gets close, it will be spotted by the berserk night crows, who will then attack it in a swarm.

One second... two seconds... three seconds... a full ten seconds passed, but the black cat still didn't appear, which made Wang Xing a little anxious.

"Damn it! I miscalculated! Is this guy going to try to sneak up on me with that stealth attack trick? My Night Raven can only last for 50 seconds at most. If he doesn't show up soon, I'm in big trouble."

After leveling up, the number of Night Ravens increased dramatically, and the Bloodlust Frenzy, which could originally last for about 1 minute, can now only last for about 50 seconds.

Based on the current attribute increase ratio, once Wang Xing's level reaches 30 or above, he will probably only be able to last for about 40 seconds at most.

Unless Wang Xing obtains equipment that enhances his mental strength, the duration of this berserk state will only get shorter and shorter.

A dozen seconds later, just when Wang Xing thought the mission was going to fail, a cold light suddenly appeared, heading straight for his throat. It was Black Cat's "Throat Cutting" skill.

This is a level 30 skill for thieves, with high attack power, a high chance of critical hits, and a high probability of triggering a fatal blow.

If a fatal blow is delivered, with 770 attack power and the high skill damage of "Throat Cut", it's likely to deal over 6000 damage!

(Note: Critical hit and critical strike effects do not stack; only one will be triggered. Otherwise, the damage values ​​would be ridiculously high, with 500 attack power stacking up to deal over 10,000 damage.)

"Ding~"

A crisp sound rang out as Wang Xing's Trial Staff blocked the black cat's short knife.

Resist! -1146

"Holy crap!"

Even though Wang Xing was prepared, he couldn't help but scream in surprise.

This max-level "Throat Cut" has a 300% attack percentage. Even if you resist and block, it won't trigger critical hits or fatal blows, but the base damage alone is over 2300.

The damage reduction is 30%, and after deducting Wang Xing's defense, the final damage value is 1146 points, which directly depletes Wang Xing's health by nearly 40%.

Wang Xing's current health has reached a terrifying level of nearly 3000 points, allowing him to withstand the BOSS's "Throat Cut" skill without dying.

Of course, the premise is that you don't land a critical hit or a fatal blow, otherwise Wang Xing won't be able to kill you instantly.

Seeing that Wang Xing had actually blocked his sneak attack, a look of disbelief flashed in the black cat's eyes, as if it was hard to believe that a summoner could actually block his sneak attack.

If it were any other summoner, they would probably have fallen for his trick. Unfortunately, Wang Xing has practiced martial arts since childhood, and his reaction speed and agility are incomparable to ordinary people.

In a critical moment, it is not surprising that one can block a vital organ by relying on subconscious reaction.
