Online Game: My Skills Can Be Upgraded Infinitely Chapter 10

Lu Yuan walked very carefully, but he was not nervous.

According to the strategy given by the player who had completed this mission in his previous life, he did not encounter the abyss demon in the mine.

He only encountered the sneak attacks of two level-9 vampire bats, where he was instantly killed.

After the mission failed, it ended there.

The player did not mark that this was a sole hidden mission in the strategy that he sent out, probably because he had the poor taste of making others suffer when he was in a bad mood.

Hence, Lu Yuan did not know that there were vampire bats were in the mine.

He could only carefully edge into the mine bit by bit.

Very quickly, five minutes passed. Lu Yuan walked out of a narrow tunnel and entered a spacious hall.

The entire hall was dark, with only a few glowing ores scattered on the ground, illuminating the hall.

“The liberal profession before level 10 is still too weak.” Lu Yuan sighed. If he was a Mage, he could use a zero-tier spell Illumination.

1

If nothing else, he could still be as powerful as an archer.

But he was of the liberal profession, a layman who did not have any professional talent and initial skills.

This was the only drawback of the liberal profession.

Because the novice village did not have a professional instructor, other than killing monsters and obtaining skill books from the killings, he did not have any chance to learn skills.

1

Unlike players of other professions who could automatically learn a professional skill every three levels before level ten.

Just as Lu Yuan was carefully fumbling towards the center of the hall, the originally quiet hall was suddenly filled with the deep roar of a beast.

At the same time, two air-piercing sounds were heard.

Lu Yuan, who had been alert to his surroundings, heard the sound and immediately reacted. He twisted his body to the side.

2

However, the vampire bats were still too fast.

Even though Lu Yuan had reacted immediately, he still could not dodge their attacks.

[-78!]

[-96!]

Two wounds opened up on Lu Yuan's waist.

1

In almost an instant, Lu Yuan's originally full HP was reduced to only a few.

“This attack, no wonder that bastard was killed instantly.” Lu Yuan instantly activated the Shadow Following skill and took out a bottle of HP recovery potion from his backpack. After biting it open and swallowing it, Lu Yuan could not help but curse.

2

Without hesitation, Lu Yuan turned around and ran.

2

It was not wise to fight with the vampire bats in such a dark environment.

He had to lure the vampire bats out first.

The two vampire bats hovered in the air and searched for the disappeared earth magic demon with some confusion in their hearts.

They were not smart enough to understand how the earth magic demon that dared to intrude into the mine could withstand their attacks without dying, and how it could disappear.

While the vampire bats were stunned, Lu Yuan had already arrived at the entrance of the tunnel. He took out a copper coin from his backpack and threw it into the mine, then he pressed himself close against the wall.

The copper coin landed heavily on the ground, the sound ear-piercing in the silent environment.

The two vampire bats immediately flew towards the tunnel.

As the subordinates of the abyss demon, not only were they extremely powerful but they also had extremely sharp hearing abilities after being modified by the abyss.

They no longer needed to rely on sound waves to locate their position like ordinary bats.

2

After the two vampire bats flew past Lu Yuan, Lu Yuan quickly followed behind the vampire bats tightly.

From time to time, he would throw one or two copper coins to attract their attention.

It was much easier than expected to deal with these brainless monsters.

Lu Yuan quietly looked at the duration of his skill while luring the monsters.

The duration of Shadow Following was as long as two minutes after it was strengthened. Although it was not short, it was not long either.

He had to finish the battle as soon as possible.

Soon, the five-minute journey that he had taken to enter the cave was completed in just over forty seconds.

After coming out of the cave, Lu Yuan could finally see the vampire bat's position with the help of the sunlight.

He quickly stepped forward. The powerful attack speed bonus the wild wolf set brought made Lu Yuan's movements extremely fast. Almost the instant he took out his dagger, a bloody hole appeared on one of the vampire bats' bodies.

[-17!]

Under the level penalty, Lu Yuan's attack was not painful at all. It only caused a little over 10 damage.

[Vampire Bat]

[Level]: 9

[HP]: 900

[Skills]: Intermediate Hemophagia, unknown, unknown…

With the bats having 900 HP, it meant that Lu Yuan would need around 90 slashes to kill a vampire bat.

1

Meanwhile, Lu Yuan's Shadow Following still had about a minute left.

“Summon Fire!” Lu Yuan muttered to himself.

A ball of flame appeared out of thin air above the mine. The flame was like a pocket, wrapping around the vampire bats as soon as it appeared.

[-42!]

Lupine!

1

Set skill activated.

Lu Yuan transformed into a werewolf and rushed towards a vampire bat.

[-11!]

[-14!]

[-18!]

[-17!]

[-16!]

…

The wild wolf set's attack speed bonus was fully displayed at this moment. In just three seconds, Lu Yuan's sharp claws were swung out more than ten times.

1

The vampire bat's HP abruptly dropped by a large chunk.

The vampire bat that was injured let out a wail and subconsciously wanted to fly higher, trying to stay as far away from the ground as possible.

They had low intelligence and did not understand why they were attacked but could not find the target.

The only thing they could do was fly up.

“Die!” Lu Yuan took out a bottle of potion from his backpack and swallowed it in one gulp.

Then, his entire body strangely floated in the air.

There was no need to get used to it at all. Lu Yuan seemed to be a natural aerial creature as he skillfully and quickly attacked the vampire bats.

The potion that Lu Yuan swallowed was called a levitation potion. It was given to Lu Yuan by Solaka.

There was only one bottle.

Lu Yuan originally thought that he could keep it to save his life in the future. He didn't expect that he would have to use it as soon as he got it.

“That bastard couldn't have anticipated this, right?” Lu Yuan cursed in his heart. The more he thought about it, the more likely it was. No wonder he had forcefully given these potions to him.

After casually killing one of the vampire bats with a slash of the dagger, Lu Yuan turned his gaze to the other bat.

After spending 30 seconds, until the Shadow Following and Lupine skills reached their limits, Lu Yuan killed the last vampire bat.

The huge amount of EXP bonus from killing monsters above his level increased Lu Yuan's level to 89% of Level 5.

3

The two bats did not drop anything other than two teeth.

Lu Yuan picked up the teeth and looked at them carefully.

“An alchemy material?” Lu Yuan muttered to himself as he looked at the familiar structure.

At this moment, he finally understood. It turned out that this hidden mission was self-directed by Solaka from the beginning.

Whether it was his serious injury or the abyss demon in the mine, it was just a trap set up by Solaka. Lu Yuan did not know the exact reason yet.

“Ah, ‘ve been discovered. Sorry. But don't you know? If you know too much, you'll come to no good end.” Solaka walked out from the corner and looked at Lu Yuan with a fierce look.

1

“Stop fooling around. No matter what, this mission is considered to be completed, right?” Lu Yuan rolled his eyes.

The system did not notify him that Solaka's favorability had dropped.. Solaka was obviously playing antics.
