Online Game: I'm in MapleStory

After successfully killing the Snail King, Wu Ming quickly reached out to touch the faintly glowing orb of dropped items on the ground. Without hesitation, he unleashed his mage-specific swift movement skill, his figure instantly transforming into a trail of afterimages as he sped off towards the Nien Forest.

"Finally caught up! I'm back!"

Not long after, Wu Ming caught up with the slow-moving escort vehicle. He went directly to the back of the vehicle and patted Da Chun, who was protecting the cargo, on the shoulder and said.

Then Wu Ming leisurely replaced Dachun's original position, and followed the truck slowly and unhurriedly, as if no one in this abandoned forest dared to attack the cargo truck he was escorting!

In fact, it was indeed so! After all, those who were hunting wild monsters in the wild maps along the way had also witnessed Wu Ming killing a group of people in one move, or at least knew about it in the dimensional chat box!

"By the way, that fierce battle at the fork in the road just now was truly amazing! But the rewards were worth it! Take these equipment, weapons, and various materials, and sort them out while you escort the goods!"

As Wu Ming spoke, he quickened his pace and walked towards Dachun and Ah Hao who were standing in front of the truck.

Wu Ming stretched out his hand and tapped into the air, then, like a magic trick, pulled out a pile of colorful, faintly glowing equipment and weapons from his backpack. These items, like a small mountain, were dazzling, and among them were some props emitting purple light.

"Hey, just like organizing the props before, put them in your backpacks for now and sort them out slowly!"

Wu Ming unceremoniously placed them in front of Dachun and Ah Hao, grinning and saying, "After that, he clapped his hands and continued to walk to the back of the truck with a leisurely pace to escort them."

"Oh! How nice it would be if I had a convenient means of transportation! Walking slowly behind the trucks is so tiring. I wonder how long it will take to reach the city in the forest!"

However, as he walked, Wu Ming couldn't help but mutter to himself.

"I hope the next escort mission I get will be in a carriage I can ride in! This old group's transport trucks are really... a bit unsightly!"

As he thought about it, Wu Ming couldn't help but continue to complain softly.

Despite this, Wu Ming quickly adjusted his mindset and stopped dwelling on those troubles. He gathered his thoughts and began to carefully examine the spoils he had just obtained from killing the Snail King, hoping to find some unique items!

'Colorful snail shell, C-grade power gem ring, white and blue potion x3, night shirt, wooden shield...'

【C-level power gem ring】

(Inherent equipment item)

Required level: Level 10

Requires four-dimensional attributes: 0

Equipment Category: Ring

Strength: +3

(Special ring that increases strength. Multiple rings of the same stage can be synthesized into B-level! The highest level is SSS level. Adventurers are requested to automatically explore the synthesis problem. Note: Inherent equipment items mean that you can only wear one. Wearing a second one will not increase the character's attribute value.)

"Well, this time the harvest was pretty good. I actually found a ring I've never seen before. And it can even be synthesized! It's just a pity that this ring increases the strength attribute, which is not particularly suitable for me. But fortunately, it can be used by Dachun!"

Wu Ming carefully looked at the detailed information of these equipment and weapons, muttering to himself in his heart.

Thinking of this, Wu Ming threw those equipment and props that he thought were not very valuable on the ground without hesitation, then tightly grasped the C-level gem ring in his hand and looked at Da Chun who was busy.

At this time, Dachun was following in front of the truck, busy sorting out the various items and props that Wu Ming gave them with Ah Hao.

"Dachun, come here quickly!"

Wu Ming shouted loudly. Hearing the call, Da Chun immediately put down the work in his hands, turned around and walked quickly towards Wu Ming's position.

When Da Chun was only a few meters away from Wu Ming, Wu Ming swung his arm and threw the C-grade gem ring in his hand into the air. The ring traced a beautiful parabola in the air and flew straight towards Da Chun.

However, perhaps because he used too much force or the angle was wrong, the ring did not fall into Dachun's hands as expected, but fell steadily into the grass next to Dachun's feet.

"Boss, what are you doing? There's only a short distance between us. You don't have to throw things at me like that! If I accidentally lose them, I'll be in big trouble!"

Seeing this scene, Da Chun couldn't help but laugh and cry, muttering something in his mouth. Then he bent down and began to search in the bushes for the object that Wu Ming had thrown.

After searching for a few seconds, Dachun found the ring beside a clump of dense grass. He picked it up, wiped off the dirt on it, and a happy smile appeared on his face.

"Hey, Boss, I found it! Thanks for the ring! I'll go back and sort out my props!"

Then Dachun turned around, shook the ring in his hand at Wu Ming, and walked briskly back to the truck, continuing to organize the props.

After finishing everything, Wu Ming suddenly realized that he hadn't checked his character panel attributes for a long time. So without hesitation, he stretched out his finger and lightly tapped the air, and began to check his character attribute panel.

Wu Ming's first focus was on the four-dimensional attributes. He saw that all the values ​​had increased significantly, and some even far exceeded normal standards.

"It seems that all my efforts in clearing abandoned dungeons during this period have not been in vain!"

Seeing this, he couldn't help but feel secretly happy.

However, when his eyes moved to the status bar, he couldn't help but frown.

A new attribute called "Light and Dark" had appeared in the status bar. This attribute had been present since the job change, but at the time, it was only showing a percentage of 0.001%. But when Wu Ming looked at it again, it had unexpectedly risen to 0.005%!

"What's going on? What did I do to cause it to improve? This improvement doesn't seem strange to me!"

Wu Ming muttered to himself in confusion.

Recalling the time when he first changed his job, Wu Ming was very surprised by the sudden emergence of the "light and dark" attribute.

However, considering that it might be due to the interference of the black magician's gaze that the title in the occupation column became the light magician, he temporarily put aside his doubts.

After all, this change also brought him an additional benefit—a full twenty times the experience gain! So for those things that he couldn't figure out at the moment, he chose not to delve into them.

But at this moment, facing the "light and darkness" state attribute value that rose for no reason, Wu Ming had to re-examine this strange state.

When Wu Ming looked at the light and dark column again, he saw the percentage increasing for no reason. Wu Ming couldn't help but frown and began to think silently about the various things he had experienced recently.

Thoughts surged like the tide. He first recalled the time when he traveled back to Blue Star and fainted and dreamed because of the skill test. But when he was halfway through the thought, the stabbing pain in his head appeared again.

Then, many questions about the Xuanshan School's Heart Method surfaced in his mind. What kind of unknown secrets did this ancient Heart Method from the Blue Star hide? Otherwise, why would this Heart Method soothe the pain in his head when he silently recited it?

In this way, Wu Ming's thoughts jumped back and forth between different events, sometimes recalling the dream situation of Lan Xing, and sometimes deeply immersed in the painful exploration of the Xuanshan School's mental method.

"Never mind. I still can't figure it out, so I'll just stop trying to figure it out for now. We're still several maps away from that abandoned city..."

As long as no one with ill intentions comes to provoke us, then the remaining monsters along the way should be more than enough for Dachun and Ah Hao to handle!"

However, after thinking for a long time, Wu Ming still couldn't figure it out. Finally, he shook his head helplessly and muttered to himself.

Thinking of this, Wu Ming calmed himself down a little, then reached into his backpack and took out the Xuanshan School's mental method that was memorized by Dachun and Ah Hao.

Wu Ming looked at the paper in front of him that recorded the Xuanshan School's mental method. While closely following the slowly moving convoy of trucks, he stared intently at the yellowed paper in his hand, muttering to himself and silently reciting the words on it.

Gradually, Wu Ming felt a coolness in his head, and it seemed that the dream he had while unconscious was slowly emerging in his mind.
