Chapter 38: The Role of Luck Value
Chapter 38: The Role of Luck Value
Leng Xiaoliu stared at Chen Mo, wanting to question him, but suddenly, he realized the Hunter player’s figure had already disappeared.
Did he log off?
Leng Xiaoliu was confused, but there was no time for him to think further as the Mutant Slime King charged toward them.
Although they had mentally prepared for the possibility of the BOSS mutating before coming, since they were instantly killed last time, it could be said that this was their first time facing the Mutant Slime King.
They could barely defeat the Slime King without much room to spare. Facing the Mutant Slime King with drastically increased attributes, after just two attacks, Leng Xiaoliu knew they couldn’t defeat it.
In just two attacks, their Knight died. This was with the Mutant Slime King not using its ultimate skill at the start; otherwise, at least half of them would have died instantly!
“Retreat!” Leng Xiaoliu urgently shouted. Even though death brought no losses, no one wanted to die.
Seeing the enemies trying to escape, the Mutant Slime King suddenly rolled forward fiercely like a ball.
-775! -830! …
Several damage numbers wildly floated up. Only Knight players who had learned the shield defense skill could possibly block this skill attack. Any other class hit by it would undoubtedly die. Not to mention that the Knight player in Leng Xiaoliu’s team was already dead — even if alive, they still couldn’t have blocked this move from the Mutant Slime King.
Like Mu Sen, they could kill the Slime King only because they had spent a high price to acquire equipment with corresponding skills tailored to the Slime King’s skills and traits. Their own class skills were only the two or three they learned in the Starter Village. As for the Knight’s shield defense, it could only be learned at the Knight Class Guild in the three main human cities.
Under this damage, the Assassin and Warrior in the team died instantly.
The remaining members were Leng Xiaoliu, the Archer, Leng Xiaoqian, the Mage, and the Priest in the team.
The three of them were farther away from the BOSS, but normally, even escaping from an ordinary BOSS would be difficult. Now, facing the faster mutant BOSS, Leng Xiaoliu and the other two only managed to flee a short distance before the Mutant Slime King caught up with them one by one and killed them.
“Boss, are we still going?”
In the Resurrection Point of Earl Town, the Warrior looked at Leng Xiaoliu.
After dying twice in a row, the team’s atmosphere clearly changed.
“Yes!” Leng Xiaoliu said with a cold face. Of course he would go; he wanted to confirm!
Slime Plains.
Leng Xiaoliu and his six teammates once again engaged the Slime King. Leng Xiaoliu absentmindedly attacked the Slime King, his eyes looking around.
The sky was almost dark, but the Hunter’s figure never appeared.
Did that guy leave?
Leng Xiaoliu was puzzled.
“Roar!”
But right at that moment, the Slime King suddenly let out a familiar furious roar! It mutated again!
The mutated Slime King showed its might, and before long, all six members of Leng Xiaoliu’s team lay on the ground.
Even until death, Leng Xiaoliu did not forget to look around, but he never saw the Hunter’s figure.
After waiting for two minutes, still no one appeared. The sky began to darken, and places farther away became completely invisible. Only then did Leng Xiaoliu reluctantly choose to resurrect.
At this moment, Chen Mo slowly revealed his figure.
He knew Leng Xiaoliu suspected he was behind it. Chen Mo wasn’t afraid of Leng Xiaoliu knowing. The fact that Slime Venom could make the Slime King mutate would become common knowledge once Wild Wolf Valley opened. Even if Leng Xiaoliu knew in advance, they still couldn’t kill the Mutant Slime King, so knowing would be useless.
But wanting to find out if I did it? I just won’t give you the chance!
Curiosity killed the cat — let you slowly think about it, rack your brains, and hopefully lose sleep over it!
As Chen Mo revealed his figure, the Mutant Slime King in the distance immediately roared and rushed toward him.
With a flick of his hand, he equipped a full set of gear, and Chen Mo led the Mutant Slime King running in one direction.
Back when Leng Xiaoliu first died and returned to the city, Chen Mo had gone to hire four other players to help dig a pit. Of course, he helped dig too. But when he estimated that Leng Xiaoliu’s team of six would be returning soon, he said he had something urgent and needed to log off briefly. Then he secretly used his Camouflage Skill to leave, came back to cause Leng Xiaoliu’s death, and ran back to continue digging.
He didn’t have that much time to keep playing with Leng Xiaoliu’s team. If they dropped equipment, it might be worth it, but unfortunately, dying in the Starter Village almost had no losses. Chen Mo didn’t want to waste time with them. He could kill the Mutant Slime King in under ten minutes now. As long as Leng Xiaoliu’s team died, he could kill the Mutant Slime King before they rushed back again and leave openly.
Before Leng Xiaoliu died for the third time, Chen Mo had already finished digging the pit. He used his Camouflage Skill to get close, made the Slime King mutate to kill Leng Xiaoliu, and as the sky darkened, Chen Mo unceremoniously led the Mutant Slime King over to trap and kill it.
In less than ten minutes, the Mutant Slime King died.
“Another Skill Mutation Scroll. This thing drops so easily; looks like it’s not rare and not worth much money.”
Picking up the items dropped by the BOSS, Chen Mo looked into his backpack and couldn’t help muttering.
One Skill Mutation Scroll, one piece of Green Equipment, nine pieces of Blue Equipment — not a rewarding day.
He had already obtained five Skill Scrolls in total. At first, Chen Mo thought they were quite rare, but after killing the Mutant Slime King ten times, five dropped. The drop rate is too high; if it’s not rare, it’s not valuable.
How could he know that the group at Canglan Technology Center were staring wide-eyed.
It’s not scientific! So unscientific! How could the drop rate for something as rare as Skill Mutation Scrolls be so high?
Normally, dropping one in five kills would already be incredible. This guy averaged one every two kills — his drop rate was truly outrageous!
“Holy crap! The Freedom Pioneer title is on him too, passively increasing Luck Value by 3 points!”
“He has 3 Luck Value at Level 10? No wonder the drop rate is so unscientific!”
A young man checked and immediately shouted.
“3 Luck Value isn’t much, right? How could it be so unbelievable?”
Another young man asked, somewhat confused.
A mere 3 Luck Value didn’t seem like much — it shouldn’t be that incredible.
“You don’t understand. The Luck Value attribute is the most special in the game. We all know that higher Luck Value can affect probability values at key moments. But the effect of Luck Value involves several aspects. The amount of Luck Value, the player’s Level, and the Level of the target — these three must align for Luck Value to have the maximum effect. Take his 3 Luck Value: only when a Level 10 player fights a Level 10 monster BOSS does it have the greatest effect. If this player were Level 20 with 3 Luck Value fighting a Level 10 BOSS, or if he were Level 10 with 3 Luck Value fighting a Level 20 BOSS, the effect of Luck Value would be greatly reduced.”
Some young people around who didn’t know much about Luck Value understood after hearing this.
Now they finally knew why this guy’s luck was so unbelievable — he had 3 Luck Value!
For players below Level 10, 3 Luck Value was already very abnormal. In the entire Game, fewer than ten Level 10 players had 3 Luck Value!
…
“The BOSS… is gone?” Leng Xiaoliu was unwilling to die like that. They returned again but couldn’t find the Slime King.
They searched persistently in a large circle around the area but still couldn’t find it.
What happened? Could it be that if the BOSS mutates three times in a row, it just disappears on its own?
That seemed like the only possibility.
As for the BOSS being solo-killed by Chen Mo —
That thought only flashed through Leng Xiaoliu’s mind.
He would never believe that the BOSS could be solo-killed by one person.
What a joke — their whole team could barely kill the BOSS; how could a mere Hunter solo kill it!
…
Chen Mo died by suicide again. After leaving Goblin Valley, he slept and rested as usual.
But before it was even noon, he was woken up by a phone call.
