Thunder Badge: Offensive lightning attributes increase 20. Job: Common.
Item description: Only warriors recognised by Zeus will be given this badge.
In <<REBIRTH>>, every job’s attacks contained its own attributes, therefore, attributes prompt in the game was a unique feature of the game. A Pugilist’s attacks corresponded to both fire and lightning attributes. With an increase of 20, the sense of electricity effect and lightning attack damage would increase by 20%.
Even though 20% wasn’t a lot, the badge would not take up space in the equipment tab. There were ornaments all around that could display a person’s job and faction. However, not every ornament would contain attributes. In fact, this was the only place giving out ornaments like this.
Looking at the blue lightning Thunder Badge, Wang Yu slapped it against his chest as he hung it below the job badge as he asked, “So this is the entry pass?”
Zeus answered sincerely, “This is so much better than an entry pass.”
“Oh really? Thank you so much!”
Wang Yu couldn’t afford to waste too much time here so he bade goodbye to Zeus and was immediately headed towards Lorraine Kaji Mountain. He certainly didn’t expect to meet Nian Liuyun and co. at the entrance to the city again.
Seeing that Wang Yu had also completed his quest, Hidden Lurker was extremely surprised. While he didn’t know what Wang Yu’s quest was, Nian Liuyun’s quest wasn’t too difficult. Moreover, Nian Liuyun was able to complete this quest because of the help from the rest of them. The fact that Wang Yu was also able to complete the quest so quickly was certainly beyond Hidden Lurker’s expectation.
“Brother Bull, we meet again.” Nian Liuyun smiled and greeted Wang Yu, “Have you obtained the entry pass?”
“En! You guys are pretty fast ah…” Wang Yu replied.
Wang Yu was only tasked to fight Zeus and even though it was extremely intense, the entire duration was merely about two minutes. The fact that Nian Liuyun was able to obtain the entry pass in such a short period of time proved his strength.
“We have a squad ah. Brother Bull is alone and you can complete it so quickly too. I am really surprised…” Nian Liuyun exclaimed.
“Squad?” A depressed Wang Yu opened up his quest tab as he asked, “I thought this quest doesn’t allow the forming of squads?”
“En! As long as you don’t form the squad, it is fine!” Nian Liuyun replied.
“Oh! You can do that too…” Wang Yu thought about it for a long while. This was the perfect example of how the higher-ups have policies while the lower-downs have their own ways of getting around them. The system didn’t permit the forming of squads but players could simply help and not form squads. It seemed like every player had quite a lot of methods to play with the rules.
At this moment, Hidden Lurker quietly sent a secret message to Nian Liuyun, “Liuyun ah, how confident are you to take on this fella?”
“In terms of kung fu, he is much stronger than me. In the game, he is a few levels above me too. I am not very confident.” Nian Liuyun responded and asked again, “Why?”
Hidden Lurker answered, “Your quest is meant to clash with his sooner or later. Why don’t we finish him off now and take his entry pass? With the number of experts on our side supporting you, I am sure we can handle him.”
After saying this, Hidden Lurker stared at Wang Yu with murderous intent.
Who knew that Wang Yu appeared as though he could sense Hidden Lurker staring at him. He turned over and smiled at Hidden Lurker which resulted in cold sweat dripping down his back.
Nian Liuyun frowned, “If our quests clash, we should only face each other during that stage. Attacking him now seems a little immoral right?”
“Who cares about morality? If we kill him now, he will never be able to ascend the mountain!”
“Forget it! We have so many people so why must we attack him now? We can do it later too… I am unable to bring myself to attack my good friend without a good cause.” Nian Liuyun was firm in his decision.
In Nian Liuyun’s heart, Wang Yu was already considered his friend. For people like them, they needed to find a valid reason to convince themselves to kill a stranger. Nian Liuyun was never going to do something like that to a friend.
“You… How are you ever going to make it big with a character like this?” Hidden Lurker replied in a resentful and disappointed tone.
Nian Liuyun remained silent. All he wanted was to play games and he had never thought about making it big like Hidden Lurker…
At this moment, Wang Yu also sent a message to Nian Liuyun, “Why? Is he asking you to kill me?”
“How? How do you know?” Nian Liuyun turned pale with fright and confessed without being pressed.
“Earlier, that fellow stared at my back with a lot of murderous intent. How can I not know? Our quests are meant to clash so even if you guys start attacking me now, I will understand.” Wang Yu replied faintly.
“I’ve rejected his suggestion. At the very least, our quests have yet to clash. When the time comes, I will not hold back at all.” Nian Liuyun responded.
Wang Yu smiled and said, “What a coincidence! This is my exact sentiments.”
Lorraine Kaji Mountain was not very far away from Zeus’ residence. Very soon, the group of them arrived at the entrance of the mountain.
As a holy land, Lorraine Kaji Mountain was sealed off and the entrance was the only route in. Two tall and sturdy Titan clan NPC were guarding the entrance.
As they checked on them, the two names were merely question marks. It seemed like they were super NPC. If the guards were this powerful, it was no wonder nobody dared to trespass.
Wang Yu was walking in front and when the two guards saw Wang Yu’s badge, they greeted him respectfully. “Great Warrior, do you want to enter the mountain?”
“En!”
“This way, please!” The guards turned their body and made way for Wang Yu. Once Wang Yu walked past them, the duo blocked the path yet again before shouting angrily at Nian Liuyun, “Only those with the entry pass can enter the mountain!”
Wang Yu was slightly taken aback because wasn’t the badge considered the entry pass? Why did the attitude of the two guards change so drastically so quickly?
At the thought of this, Wang Yu turned back to see Nian Liuyun taking out a scroll. After showing it to the guards, he said, “These are my friends.”
The guards sized Nian Liuyun up before saying coldly, “Enter.”
Nian Liuyun, Hidden Lurker and the rest of them walked in together.
Wang Yu asked out of curiosity, “Your entry pass allows for so many people to enter?”
“We’ve form a squad already…”
“I thought this quest doesn’t allow that?” Wang yu was even more curious now.
Nian Liuyun replied, “There is more than one quest up in the holy mountain. It is okay to form a squad when entering the mountain… Hidden Lurker has his ways of completing quests.”
“Impressive!” Wang Yu praised.
Even though it was a small matter, there were huge differences between a true gamer and a newbie like Wang Yu.
Wang Yu might be powerful and was able to do more than many players could. However, he had always used violence against violence in quests. While he was conforming to the rules of the game, he lacked many tactical skills.
Hidden Lurker might not be as strong as Wang Yu but he understood the rules of the game very well. This was why he was able to play with the loopholes and made things easier for him and his team based solely on his experience. Hidden Lurker was definitely someone not to be underestimated. Wang Yu suddenly felt an immense increase in the difficulty of this quest knowing that Hidden Lurker would be there to help Nian Liuyun.
