Legend of Mir 2: Seeking the Truth in Marfa

Seeing Situ Haoyun and the other three leave, the crowd watching in the square slowly gathered around.

"Congratulations, Xiaobu, congratulations on becoming a Marfa monk."

"The future is limitless."

"A good man has great ambitions. Xiaobu, you have great potential. You are amazing."

"Xiao Bu, when you become rich in the future, don't forget our Ginkgo Village. Come back and visit us often."

Everyone praised Brooke. It was a great honor to be a Marfa monk, to drive out monsters and protect Marfa.

"What kind of topic is that? I've never heard of it before. Doctor Xu is truly amazing. He's made Xiaobu so cultured..."

"Bring honor to our family! Look how happy Xiaobu is, he's almost crying..."

Someone actually praised him for being cultured, and Brook was really at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

Brooke came to Uncle Fu and said embarrassedly: "Uncle Fu, I'm sorry, I..."

Uncle Fu patted Brooke's arm and said, "Okay, that's great!" He then clasped his fists and thanked everyone around him. "Let's go home first."

In Xu's Pharmacy, Brooke and Uncle Fu sat opposite each other.

Brother Mafa needs to accept missions and constantly improve his own strength. He has to be on the road almost all year round, and Brook is about to leave Ginkgo Village.

Uncle Fu spoke first: "Don't worry about me. I've been used to it for so many years. I can make fires, cook, and mix potions. What can't I do? Besides, the neighbors in the village get along well. If something big happens, everyone will help each other."

Brooke lowered her head. "Who's going to pick herbs when I'm not home?"

"Well, I've thought about this a long time ago. Since the warriors from another world are coming, I'll issue a task to buy herbs. The more people come, the more herbs there will be. The more herbs there are, the more potions there will be. The more potions there are, the more people will buy them. The more people buy them, the more money we make. Hehe..." Uncle Fu laughed, tapping the table rhythmically. "In that case, shouldn't the price go up too? This business is guaranteed to be better than when you were collecting herbs at home!"

Oh, that's really possible. Brooke raised his head, looked at the smiling Uncle Fu, nodded and said, "That makes sense. As expected of the owner of a medicine shop that has been running for decades, he is indeed an experienced businessman. It is true that there is no business without fraud."

"How can there be no business without fraud? Ahem, this is just a matter of everyone getting what they need. It's good for you, me, and everyone~" Uncle Fu laughed.

"Uncle Fu, please keep my room for me. I never know when I can no longer make it and will have to come back to open a pharmacy with you. I will be as anxious as you if I have no place to sleep." Brooke said again.

"Okay, even if business is booming and there's no place to store the medicines, and we have to requisition your room, I will at least leave a path for you to walk through. In short, don't worry." Uncle Fu promised.

Okay, I'm relieved. The two of them had depended on each other for so many years, and thinking of the imminent separation, Brooke couldn't help but slightly reddened his eyes and lowered his head.

"You rest for a while, I'll get you some medicine." Uncle Fu also felt uncomfortable and got up to go to the inner room.

Brooke took a deep breath and pulled himself together. Since some things have been chosen and cannot be avoided, the only thing to do is to face them positively and bravely.

He first checked his current level and attributes:

Taoist, Level 1, Experience Required for Upgrade 0/100, Taoist Skill 0-1 (Spiritual Strength = Taoist Skill), Attack 0-1, Defense 0-0, Magic Defense 0-1, HP 17, Magic 13, Accuracy 5, Agility 15, Magic Dodge 10%

He took out the package Situ Haoyun had given him and saw at a glance several pieces of equipment emitting faint star-like light.

One piece of cloth, defense 0-2, magic resistance 0-1, magic 0-2, equipment level 1

An ebony sword, attack 4-8, magic 0-2, equipment level 1

A pair of cast iron rings, defense 0-2, magic 0-1, attack 0-1, requires magic power 9

A pair of iron bracelets, accuracy +2, attack 0-1, requires level 3

A gold necklace, accuracy +2, agility 0-1, attack 0-1, requires level 2

A magic potion that temporarily increases mana by 180 points for 5 seconds.

3 random teleportation scrolls, 2 dungeon teleportation scrolls.

Several skill books, Healing (requires level 7), Mental Combat (requires level 9), Poisoning (requires level 14), Soul Fire Talisman (requires level 18), Summon Skeletons (requires level 19), Invisibility (requires level 20).

There is also Situ Haoyun's weapon: Dragon Sword

The most precious thing was Situ Haoyun's notes. When I opened it, I saw eight big characters written on the first page: "Haoran righteousness, heaven and earth will last forever."

Brooke muttered to himself, suddenly filled with awe. He read and reread the book, feeling a surge of righteousness filling his body.

After a long while, I finally flipped to the second page, revealing a hand-drawn map of Marfa! It turned out that Ginkgo Village was at the southernmost tip of the entire Marfa continent. Northwest of the upper left corner was Biqi City, below which was Bianjie Village. Northeastward lay the Serpent Valley, along with Mengzhong, Shabak, and the Zuma Temple, before being blocked by a continuous snow-capped mountain range... Marfa was surrounded by the sea on three sides, with Cangyue Island isolated at the very top. Then there was the Wo Ma Forest and the Bairi Gate...

So this is the continent of Marfa, this is our world!

Brooke stared at the map for a long time, unable to calm down. After a long while, he finally turned to the next page.

The Monster Chapter, Biqi Monster Illustrations, and then a detailed introduction to the monster attributes, with drawings!

"Scarecrow, a primary monster, with 15 HP, lower attack limit 1, upper attack limit 2, defense 0, magic resistance 0, accuracy 5, agility 10, slow movement speed, experience 12. Melee attack, often found in rural wilderness."

"Hooked Cat, a primary monster, HP 22, minimum attack 2, maximum attack 4, defense 0, magic resistance 0, accuracy 5, agility 12, medium speed, experience 17. Melee attack, often found in rural wilderness."

Brooke flipped through the pages one by one.

"Piranha Plant, a primary monster, has 28 HP, 6 minimum attack, 9 maximum attack, 2 defense, 0 magic resistance, 14 accuracy, 18 agility, 0 speed, and 28 experience points. It has a 2-block range attack and is often found at the edge of the woods."

"Poisonous Spider, a primary monster, HP 42, minimum attack 6, maximum attack 9, defense 2, magic defense 1, accuracy 8, agility 15, medium speed, experience 42. Melee attacks inflict poison and cause continuous health loss. Mostly found deep in the woods."

......

Oh my goodness, it's so detailed! There's also a monster guide for Serpent Valley, a monster guide for Woma Forest, and one for Mengzhong and Cangyue Island...

This notebook is truly priceless. Next is the character upgrade experience and health value chapter:

1级，升级需要经验100，战士血量19法师血量16道士血量17

2级，升级需要经验200，战士血量24法师血量18道士血量20 ......

49级，升级需要经验4.2亿，战士血量955法师血量262道士血量537

There are no more after level 50. Is the highest level 50? Or, Situ Haoyun is only level 49 at the moment, and he doesn't know the level experience after that?

Turning back is the skills chapter, which records the skill level

治愈术：消耗魔法治愈气血，等级7级可修炼到1层、等级11级可修炼到2层，等级16级可修炼3层

精神力战法：提升准确属性，等级9级可修炼到1层、等级13级可修炼到2层，等级19级可修炼3层

施毒术：使敌中毒持续掉血增伤，等级14级可修炼到1层、等级17级可修炼到2层，等级20级可修炼3层

灵魂火符：利用符咒远程攻击，等级18级可修炼到1层、等级21级可修炼到2层，等级24级可修炼3层

心灵启示：显示目标生命值等属性，等级26级可修炼到1层、等级30级可修炼到2层，等级35级可修炼3层

......

In other words, a Taoist priest will not have ranged attacks until he reaches level 18. In the early stages, he can only chop monsters with a knife like a warrior.

No wonder Situ Haoyun had such clear records of the monster's attributes. It turned out that there was a skill of spiritual enlightenment, but it could only be learned at level 26.

Next came the equipment section, which recorded equipment Situ Haoyun had used or seen, listing its attributes and including diagrams. Brooke searched through it and indeed found the record about the resurrection ring.

"Defense ring, attributes unknown, owned by Tianhong Mage. Rumor has it that it can double the wearer's defense and magic defense attributes, and also has healing abilities. Taoist priests wearing it will improve their healing skills."

"Resurrection Ring, properties unknown, not yet discovered. Rumor has it that it can revive the wearer from near death, restoring full health. Presumably, there are restrictions on its use."

"Invisibility ring, properties unknown, not yet discovered. Rumor has it that it can make the wearer invisible, allowing them to move freely among a group of monsters. It is speculated that it can be mobile and invisible."

......

Brook was amazed by what he saw, it was indeed a divine weapon.

There is also a cave chapter at the end, which records the maps of multiple underground caves that Situ Haoyun has experienced, and there are written records at certain points, indicating that this place is easy to defend and difficult to attack, suitable for defeating the majority with a small force; or it is located in a depression, suitable for fighting against monsters (positioning: the monster cannot attack you, but you can attack it); or there is a hidden cave somewhere, etc.

Finally, there is the chapter on warriors from other worlds, which records some famous warriors from other worlds that Situ Haoyun has encountered.

"Hun Shiwu, the president of the God of War Guild, a level 35 warrior, was once surrounded by over 50 people and killed over 30 of them..."

"Wuyazi, President of the Evil Eye Guild, Level 36 Taoist Priest, the first Divine Beast Taoist Priest, Lord of Shabak..."

"Qianlong, a level 36 mage with detection and teleportation equipment..."

......

The notes mentioned the collaboration with alien warriors to kill monsters, and also mentioned that a comrade had died at the hands of alien warriors.

The notes also mentioned an important piece of information: the Marfa continent has a 4-hour day, but the alien warriors' world has a 24-hour day, with 12 hours in the morning and 12 hours in the afternoon. Their daytime is from 6:6 am to 24: pm, and the rest of the time is night. Although these alien warriors are in Marfa, they are still used to counting the day using their own -hour system.

Situ Haoyun concluded, "Warriors from other worlds are prone to fighting and valor. Whether they are heroic and righteous or treacherous and cunning, most of them are more greedy for material things than their own lives. They are afraid of losing their equipment and therefore cannot fully utilize the advantages of rebirth. Some even resort to murder, robbery, deception, and all means to obtain equipment. Fortunately, the Marfa Continent has rules to restrict them. They cannot attack ordinary level 0 civilians or important personnel who issue missions. For us in Marfa Continent, warriors from other worlds are a double-edged sword. Although they can drive away monsters, they can also harm Marfa monks. Therefore, we must be on guard against them and do not reveal our Marfa monk identities..."

How could he avoid exposing his identity as a Marfa monk? Brooke pondered. Since the alien warriors had a 24-hour day, he had to be mindful of this. He could simply calculate time on a 24-hour basis. This way, he wouldn't reveal any flaws when chatting with them.

After reading through the notes, Brooke was lost in thought for a while. He felt a deep admiration and gratitude for Situ Haoyun, his master, whom he had only met once.

He put his notes down for the moment.

"It turns out that the attack of the Piranha Plant is so strong. Luckily, I raised the little flower, so it won't attack me. Otherwise, with my attributes of level 0 and 10 health points at that time, I would have been killed after two attacks." Brook looked at the equipment given by Situ Haoyun again. If he put on the equipment, could he block the attack of the Piranha Plant?

Following Situ Haoyun's instructions, he first put on his cloth clothes, picked up the ebony sword, drank the magic potion, and finally put on the cast iron ring. He couldn't wear the bracelet and necklace because his level was not high enough yet.

Taoism 0-1, Attack 4-11, Defense 0-6, Magic Defense 0-2, Magic 0-11, Health 17, Magic 13. Accuracy 5, Agility 16, Magic Dodge 10%

Brook was very happy. His attack and defense attributes had increased a lot. Even if he faced the Piranha Plant, he should be able to fight.

Now I had to think about how to improve my strength. Although my attack and defense had been improved thanks to equipment, my health and magic points were still too low and needed to be increased by leveling up. I didn't have any skills yet. Although my master had given me an elementary skill book, I wasn't at the right level to learn it.

It seems that the most important thing at the moment is to increase the level.

Killing monsters can increase your experience, but how can you increase it faster? Also, pay attention to safety, because you only have one life.

Although he has information about monsters, Brook has no experience fighting them.

Brook picked up his notebook again. The information inside was crucial, crucial to his survival. He needed to read it again. He flipped through it again, looking at the map of Marfa, the monster encyclopedia, and the character experience levels and health points. He slowly memorized, recited, and pondered. He was so lost in thought that he didn't even notice Uncle Fu put down the potion and left the room.

The demon star is getting brighter and brighter, and the beast tide is coming. I originally thought of hiding in the village, but is it really possible?

It is clear that we are already in the game, and no one can stay out of it.
