MMORPG: The Elementalist

Chapter 505: Walker Valley—Sacred Fruit

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

From what Edgar had mentioned, Qin Ruo came to understand the Underworld’s currency and exchange method.

The Undead’s Mana Cores consisted of Elemental Energy, which was very useful in the Underworld. The amount of Elemental Energy would be based on the level of the Undead multiplied by ten. However, the calculation for Boss-tier monsters would be different. For instance, a Level 50 Skeleton Warrior had only five hundred Elemental Energy, but a Level 50 Miniboss had Elemental Energy of five thousand and above. Tier 5 Megabosses or Elite Bosses had even more Elemental Energy—ten thousand and above. What’s more, Deathly Liches and Dark Knights had five hundred thousand and above Elemental Energy.

Demigod Champion could directly utilize the Elemental Energy for many purposes. They could use it as a resource to survive and alternatively, they could use it for combat. Hence, Mana Core was very important in the Underworld and this explained why it substituted Gold as currency.

“So how can I exchange the Elemental Energy?” Qin Ruo started to be interested and asked Edgar.

“This depends on what Tier the Potion is.”

Edgar explained, “Usually, one HP Potion (L) requires ten Elemental Energy to exchange and one MP Potion (L) requires fifty Elemental Energy.”

Qin Ruo nodded and thought that the price was not too expensive. Anyway, he would not purchase these items for the time being as he still had a lot of them in the Ring of Honor.

“Tier 5 Antidote costs five hundred Elemental Energy each.”

“Tier 4 Attribute Booster costs six thousand Elemental Energy each...”

After listening to Edgar, Qin Ruo frowned and thought to himself, ‘Damn it! If I knew Mana Cores can be exchanged into potions in the Underworld, I would not have donated most of my Mana Core to Dinosaurcerer to unlock his Seal ability.’

“The raw materials for Tier 3 Attribute Booster are very hard to find. Hence, they cost five hundred thousand Elemental Energy each... If you do not have that much, you can do quests and find the raw materials yourself. After having the raw materials, you can pay one hundred thousand Elemental Energy to Yaeger to create the potion for you...”

“...”

“Five hundred thousand?”

Qin Ruo was startled and thought to himself again, ‘Why don’t you just ask me to kill the Deathly Lich?’

Qin Ruo had only three Deathly Lich’s Mana Cores. These Tier 6 Megabosses’s Mana Cores had high chances of providing high attributes when used to embed into Dark Gold equipment. It was a waste to use them for consumption potion.

It would be better to farm the Undead.

Although the mission of obtaining one thousand pieces of Mana Cores seemed difficult, it did not pose any threats to Qin Ruo as he still had Poochie. Poochie’s speed on looting the battle spoils was extremely fast and this was very useful in the Underworld as there were many Undead here!

“...”

Before leaving the camp, Edgar gave a final piece of advice to Qin Ruo, “You must not activate Angelic Wings within a one-kilometer range from the camp. Additionally, you must not lure any Undead Bosses into the five hundred meters range from the camp. If the Boss realizes the camp location, the camp will change to another place immediately.”

“There are so many rules.”

Qin Ruo himself did not think this troubled him much as he only needed to walk a little further to farm the Undead. When returning, he could use Aquawings. However, it could be troublesome for Black Jail members.

They needed to distance themselves more than five hundred meters away from the camp to farm the monsters. It could be dangerous if they encountered Arcane Zombies or Skeleton Dragon, because they could not use the camp as their sanctuary.

Additionally, they had only a few potions with them. Who knew whether they could get Mana Cores from the Undead before the potions finished or not. Obviously, the drop rate in the Underworld was much lower than in the Buried City and Aricus Underground Ruins.

Qin Ruo felt depressed once again.

He had already realized that he needed to solo in the Underworld since a long time ago. For the time being, he hoped that nothing much had happened in the outside world. After all, there were Violet Orchid, Homme Fatale, Black Rock, Majestic Hero, and Black God to take care of his Clan. It should not be a problem.

The most important thing for Qin Ruo to do now was to level up. Although it would take some time to level up from Level 50 to Level 60, it might take lesser time to level up in the Underworld. Qin Ruo hoped that he could achieve Tier 6 before the Mythical Continent attacked the Underworld.

“...”

On the following day...

There was a shocking scene behind a small valley in the Underworld.

Numerous Undead and Skeleton Dragons formed a terrifying Undead army. Their numbers were even enough to cover the whole valley.

Nobody knew what happened there.

There were countless Skeletons, Zombies, Hellhounds, and Vampires gathering there and trying to move forward. In the small valley’s sky, there were at least four to five hundred Skeleton Dragons assembled. All of them were also trying to charge forward but it was useless. This was because there was a giant stone in the small valley’s passageway blocking their advancement.

Roar!

Those Skeletal Dragons raged and growled repetitively.

The passageway beneath the giant stone had only a little space and they could not charge forward easily with their body sizes. The Skeleton Dragons could not do anything but only growl repeatedly at the battlefield beneath the giant stone.

The person beneath the giant stone was Qin Ruo.

Qin Ruo spent a whole day to be familiar with his current location and finally, he found a wonderful leveling spot.

There were still other good leveling spots around here but since he was soloing, it was better for him to choose this grinding spot. This was because there would not be any Boss like Deathly Lich to interrupt his leveling and additionally, the giant stone above him could help block the Skeleton Dragons in the sky.

Qin Ruo had already gotten used to the Undead surrounding his area. The Undead’s abilities, HP, ice elemental resistance, and experience—Qin Ruo had already gotten a grasp on all of them.

What Qin Ruo needed to do now was to control the mana spent on his Million Arrow Sleet, get experience, and command Poochie to loot the battle spoils. When the Undead army starts to get impatient and wants to leave, he would then activate his Angelic Wings to aggro them back.

A great grinding spot like this was much better than the one at the Eternity Peak. Not only was the speed of leveling increased by more than two times, but it was also safer as well.

Although Tier 5 Miniboss and Tier 5 Megaboss appeared occasionally while Qin Ruo was farming, he was always able to realize them preemptively. When the Bosses appeared, he often handled them using Darkfrost Potion and commanded Poochie to take action.

“...”

When Qin Ruo returned to the camp, he saw that the Demigod Bowmaster was surprised.

“How did you do that?”

Edgar received thirty-two pieces Level 50 to Level 63 Undead Mana Cores from Qin Ruo, Additionally, Qin Ruo also handed over several Tier 5 Miniboss and Tier 5 Megaboss Mana Cores to Edgar. Edgar could not believe what he just saw.

“Qin Ruo! You surprised me. Previously, I could only farm several Mana Cores in half a day. And now, you have farmed so much with just Level 50... Oh no, Level 51 already. Wow! You’ve improved so quickly. You had no Mana Cores yesterday and I thought you would eventually just accept and do the quests just like us. This is unbelievable. You can even farm for eight hours without returning back to the camp.”

Edgar’s comments cheered up Qin Ruo, who was already very tired.

“I went to explore the area yesterday so that I can start to farm today. Anyway, I still need half a month to reach Tier 6.”

“Take your time. We three have already stayed here for several decades. Doesn’t matter how many months or years it will take, it is still worth the time as long as we can connect back to the Mythical Continent.”

“...”

Qin Ruo was speechless after he had heard what Edgar said. He changed the topic immediately.

After Edgar exchanged all the Mana Cores into Elemental Energy, Qin Ruo had 67920 Elemental Energy with him. He then moved into Yaeger’s tent.

“What Potion do you need?”

Obviously, Yaeger overheard the conversation between Qin Ruo and Edgar. Perhaps he had already approbated Qin Ruo’s capabilities, for his tone today was much softer than earlier.

“Darkfrost Potion.”

“If you used all your Elemental Energy to change, you can get thirteen of them.”

Since Yaeger was Divine-rank Chemist, creating Darkfrost Potion was as easy as creating normal MP Potion (L). He did not even frown when Qin Ruo asked him for the Tier 4 Potion that was rarely found on Mythical Continent.

Qin Ruo suddenly had a thought. “Nope, not all of them. Uh... I think you should have Guardian Potions, Movement Speed Potions, and Sacred Potions right?”

Yaeger was amazed when he heard Qin Ruo, a Tier 5 player, knowing so many Tier 4 Attributes Potions. His expression and tone became even softer. He stopped his work for a while, looked at Qin Ruo and nodded.

“Indeed, I have all the potions you mentioned. However, the Sacred Potion is a very strong recovery potion. It needs to be combined with Vitality Potion (L), otherwise it would be a waste for a Tier 5 Aquamancer like you to use it.”

“I suggest you take a Movement Speed Potion and a Guardian Potion. During a critical moment, you can combine them with your Aquamorph to flee...”

“You can spend fifty thousand to buy ten Darkfrost Potion. For the remaining Elemental Energy, you can use them to buy HP and MP potions. What do you think?”

“Ugh... Yes... yes. Of course.”

Initially, Qin Ruo wanted to buy one more Darkfrost Potion as he still had many recovery potions in his bag. He could spend only two thousands and nine hundred Elemental Energy to buy back the potions he had spent. However, this was the first time an NPC provided recommendation for players and hence, Qin Ruo accepted Yaeger’s suggestion.

“These are your potions.”

Yaeger handed over the potions that Qin Ruo wanted and said, “There is a potion that allows attacks to have Purification’s effects. It is more effective in reducing Undead’s elemental resistance... Help me find a white fruit the next time you train at Walker Valley. The fruit grows in the cliff’s gap. You are an Elementalist and have the flying ability and Elemental Perception. You should be able to help me find it.”

“It’s called Sacred Fruit.”

“Bring it back to me and you will get one Purification Potion.”
