Chapter 4: Repelling the Wicked


    Oh! You finally came out, boy. Seeing Shake the Heavening out, the three subordinates of Heroic Overlord Under Heaven immediately surrounded him, then followed him all the way to an isted grove.


    What, do you want to PK? Are you not worried that your gears will be forcefully removed and youll be put in detention? After confirming that no ones around, Shi Hao gestured a peculiar smile to them.


    Haha! We consisted of a fighter, a knight, and an archer. With the three of us teaming up, are you sure we wont be able to defeat you? Lets get going, no need to speak more nonsense with him! The three subordinates rushed towards Shi Hao.


    The fighter and knight were both wearing armor, so their Defense should have be 15 and 14 respectively. But then, the two of them wouldnt be the main attackers. Theyll simply keep Shake the Heaven at bay, because their weapons didnt have Attack bonus. Shi Hao was also wearing armor, thus their attack wont be able to break through his Defense, which was why it was useless for them to attack.


    The archer was the true killer. An archers initial Attack was 5. Added up with an iron bow, the Attack would be 15. If he also used iron arrows, their Attack would reach 18. Unfortunately, the archer didnt have iron arrows. The arrows he was about to shoot were free arrows given by the system, so there wasnt any Attack bonus. Nevertheless, he had Attack 15 to deal with Defense 15. ording to the principle of attack reinforcement, if the attackers attack was no less than the defenders defense, the damage would be increased by 1. A level 1 fighter only has 5 HP. Based on this calction, 5 times of attack should be enough to kill the annoying Shake the Heaven. There wont be any suspense, they have calcted it precisely.


    The archer showed his moves. He fired two shots in a row, the nking sound could also be heard twice. The nking came from Shi Hao with his 16.5 Defense resisting the two attacks which sum up to 15.


    Huh? Did that guy lose his HP? Something is fishy here. The three subordinates were puzzled when they saw this scene.


    The archer showed his moves again. He fired three more shots in a row, causing nking sounds three times. Shi Hao fell down right where he was.


    Seeing this, the three subordinates of Heroic Overlord Under Heaven finally felt relieved. As it turned out, this was the situation when the Attack and Defense were the same. At least, that was their presumptuous way of thinking.


    The archer approached him, thinking about touching Shi Haos body to see what kind of treasure will drop. After all, this was the person he killed by himself.


    Ah! He suddenly sensed someones hand reaching out to him. Shi Hao suddenly opened his eyes and stabbed him with a sword.


    What a surprise. I actually killed an archer and was able to collect an iron bow. Hehe Shi Hao kicked that guys corpse aside and deliberately stabbed his swords a few more times before the guys corpsepletely disappeared.


    In fact, only one thing dropped from the archer. The arrows given by the system wont be able to be collected. Shi Hao said those words and did those things to provoke the remaining two guys.


    The knight rushed forward angrily as he shouted, You wont be able to run from me! Im faster than you.


    That was right, knights were faster than fighters. Shi Hao wont be able to run away without killing the knight first.


    With the sword in his hand, Shi Haos Attack has be 14.3 with the bonus. The knights Defense was 14. ording to the calcting rules of attack reinforcement, the damage should increase by 1. Shi Hao will deal 1.3 damage to the knight with every effective attack. A level 1 knight only has 3 HP, so hell undoubtedly die after three blows.


    Shi Hao took the armor from the knight, then ran away happily.


    The remaining fighter stayed right where he was, bewildered at what he had just witnessed. S***! What the hell is this? Could a fighter have such a high Defense and Attack? Im also a fighter, but why cant I be like him


    The fighter hurriedly rushed towards Wu Batians hunting site.


    Shi Hao wandered around the grove for some time before he finally found a knight named Blowing Wind Left A Scar. His appearance was a lot different from real life. Shi Hao couldnt see the trace of the real Feng Tianhao in his character at all.


    S***! You actually chose to be a knight. Weve agreed to meet in Novice Vige. Ive even been staked out, yet youre here hunting monsters! Shi Hao made a dissatisfaction face towards Feng Tianhao before sending out an invitation to form a team.


    Feng Tianhao checked the name of the person who sent him an invite before pressing Confirm. Then, he asked in whispers, Little Hao?


    Shi Hao didnt say anything further. He gave him a kick first, then threw his sword at Feng Tianhao. Kingdom provided a safeguard for teammates, thus there wont be any damage when teammates attack each other. Still, they would feel pain.


    Dont just hit me out of nowhere. Seeing this, Feng Tianhao immediately knew that this person was certainly Shi Hao. Feng Tianhao was in the wrong, so he didnt retaliate. I want to try out the feeling of engaging inbat. But then, I keep fighting that I lost track of time.


    Shi Hao fought with him for some while. After he got tired, he turned towards Feng Tianhao and sent a trading invitation to him. He threw the iron bow to Feng Tianhao.


    You should try to use this first. The system will automatically give you free arrows after you equipped it. Shi Hao wiped the sweat from his face. This game was pretty realistic; the yer would sweat if they got tired. They also need to replenish themself if theyre thirsty or hungry.


    Little Hao, where did you get the money to buy these items? Feng Tianhao tested the bow and arrows strength and felt that it wasnt too bad. Even though he was a knight, the professions in Kingdom were quite flexible. It wasnt impossible for a knight to be an archer. After all, it was just temporary.


    Shi Hao whispered what he had just experienced from beginning to end.


    Shi Hao responded excitedly,  Although its a bug, since you already got such a skill, we might as well establish our own force! In any case, you mustnt let anyone know about your ability. As it happens, itd be good to hide the bonus of this skill too. When you be the overlord, everyone would naturally be your subordinates, then youll be able to quietly enjoy the bonus of the skill by yourself. You need not to exin anything, either.


    Mn! Ive had enough with the sneering of these people. Shi Hao replied. It cant be helped, I could no longer be an innocent fighter. Were going to set up our own force. Moreover, even when I be the overlord, not only must I unveil this skill, but also have to meet Su Xiaos brothers requirements. We could kill two birds with one stone. However, we have to consider how to improve further in the future and break the limitation of insufficient number of skill slots and limited Energy of a fighter.


    Shi Hao and Feng Tianhao began their move. If they wanted to establish a force, they had to ovee the difficulty ofing across Wu Batian of all things. Vige Building Order, they must get the Vige Building Order as soon as possible.


    For this reason, Shi Hao and Feng Tianhao must upgrade and improve their strength first. They formed a team and killed some monsters for a little while. Together they killed hundreds of wild hares which could revive by themselves. At longst, both of them ranked up to level 2.


    Shi Hao opened his character panel. [Name: Shake the Heaven (Fighter)] [Level: 2] [Attack: 6+10] [Defense: 10+10] [Agility: 3-1] [Vitality (HP): 10] [Energy (MP): 6] [Skill Slot 1: Soul of the Warrior (All weapons)] [Weapon: Level 1 Iron Sword] [Armor: Level 1 Iron Armor]


    Feng Tianhao opened his character panel. [Name: Blowing Wind Left A Scar (Knight)] [Level: 2] [Attack: 10+10] [Defense: 8+10] [Agility: 5-1] [Vitality (HP): 6] [Energy (MP): 6] [Skill Slot 1: Empty] [Weapon: Level 1 Iron Bow] [Armor: Level 1 Iron Armor] [essories: Empty]


    The 1 point deduction with Agility was due to wearing armor. The armor would greatly increase the Defense, but would slow down the yers movement speed in exchange. This also applies with weapons. Weapons with high attack would make its user slower when using it. It was just that there wasnt a specified attack speed.


    Alright! Now that were already level 2, our fighting strength should have increased a lot. Lets get to work. Feng Tianhao dragged Shi Hao with him and returned to West Flowers Novice Vige.


    Feng Tianhao went to find the vige chief, then asked, Vige Chief, may we know the way to get Vige Building Order?


    The old vige chief carefully examined the twods before his eyes. He shook his head as he gave them a reply, You youngsters dont have enough strength yet. If you want to get Vige Building Order, you have to kill a beast on the western part of the vige. The beast is a ferocious tiger called Red Tiger King. Its fur is red, as red as blood. You should return and temper yourselves some more. Its not an opponent you could kill yet.


    Shi Hao and Feng Tianhao leave the old vige chief. They opened the map panel and headed all the way to the west. Soon, they saw arge group of people attacking a red tiger in unison.


    As expected, the red tiger was Red Tiger King. The strength of the tiger was certainly intended for characters who have reached level 10.


    Even though the game wont let the yers instantly see other peoples level from their appearance, Shi Hao and Feng Tianhao knew very well that the level of these people was certainly still not enough. They were fighting the tiger together in a group, yet they were unable to break through Red Tiger Kings defense.


    However, they refuse to give up.


    For one thing, it might be because the employer Heroic Overlord Under Heaven promised them a hefty amount of copper coins. On the other hand, it might be because Heroic Overlord Under Heaven hasntid out a trap. This trap was an ideal one to hunt and kill the tiger. The inside was covered with thorns, and the outside was all set to collect the treasure for Heroic Overlord Under Heaven. As long as the bait would be able to lure the tiger into the trap, Heroic Overlord Under Heaven would have enough confidence to ensnare the Red Tiger King.


    So far, the system hasnt issued a notice that the first boss is killed. Maybe the boss first kill reward will be mine! It cant be helped. Thanks to my luck, I actually drew a Level 1 Raging mes Bomb. Wu Batian kept watching over from the side joyfully. He didnt really seem to care about his two subordinates who had been killed by Shake the Heaven.


    Raging mes Bomb was a kind of single use consumable with a powerful lethality. After its used, it will form a fire zone. For a Raging mes Bomb, enemies in the fire zone will suffer 1 damage per second, and itsts for 100 seconds. It ignores any kind of the enemies defense.


    The Red Tiger King has more than 60 HP at most. So long as its trapped, it will certainly die.


    Shi Hao and Feng Tianhao were watching over from the side, quietlyying low.


    Atst, after a long time had passed, the tiger was lured into the trap.


    Everyone, keep your eyes open! Sess or failure hinges on this one action! Wu Batian yelled towards the team. After this is achieved, everyone will get rewards. Ill never go back on my words.


    The group of mercenary yers were doing their very best on their job. The Red Tiger King was obviously just a novice boss. The system made a good character attribute to the tiger, but it didnt give the tiger much IQ.


    The Red Tiger King fell into the trap. Subsequently, the group of mercenary yers also fell down.
