Online Game: I'm in MapleStory

"Pia, here are the blue and green mushroom caps you asked for!"

Next to the large alarm clock on the right side of Shooter Village Park, Wu Ming took out 60 blue mushroom caps and 60 green mushroom caps from his backpack to interrupt Pia's daze and placed them in front of him.

"Ah! Are those blue and green mushroom caps? You've collected so many! You're awesome! Thank you! I feel much better now. Hahaha! How comforting! Hahahaha!"

Pia looked at so many mushroom caps with a happy smile on his face. If you didn’t know, you would think that he had hunted them himself and had successfully taken revenge!

Wu Ming looked at Pia, and Pia also looked at Wu Ming, staring at each other for a few minutes.

. . .

"Ah! No wonder I felt like I'd forgotten something... It's nothing precious, though!... I gave it to you as a token of my gratitude for helping me. You've worked so hard."

Then Pia seemed to remember her previous promise with embarrassment!

【Pia and the Blue Mushroom (Completed)】

Reward: 3000 experience points, 20 red potions, 20 blue potions

Looking at the rewards in front of me, although they are not powerful equipment or weapons, they are also expensive and scarce potions at this stage!

After receiving the reward, Wu Ming was directly upgraded to level 19 because of the experience reward. Looking at his character attribute panel, suddenly another message appeared in the taskbar!

The phased tasks are now open. Do you want to continue to accept the next phase of tasks?

Oh my goodness! There's another mission! Wu Ming accepted it without even thinking!

After accepting it, the task in the task bar has been in the accepted state. I have no idea about the specific content of the task. After thinking about it, I suddenly remembered the task conditions of Mingzhu Gangkun before!

Then Wu Ming asked about Pia.

"I met a guy named Kun in Pearl Harbor before. He said you like to listen to adventure stories of adventurers, so I came directly to find you. I didn't expect that you would ask me to help you hunt the blue mushrooms and green mushrooms that bullied you in a daze!" Wu Ming said with a smile.

"Ah! Oh! Hmm?"

After hearing Wu Ming's words, Pia finally came back to her senses from her intermittent daze and started a series of chats!

. . . . .

For a long time, Wu Ming exaggerated the incident of beating the Pianus cub to death and broke it down into a sea adventure lasting several days. He talked for a full two hours. When he was dry-mouthed when he got to the ending, Pia finally finished listening!

"Thank you for sharing such an exciting adventure. I also have a mysterious legend. Would you like to listen to it?"

Pia looked around, lowered her voice, and spoke to Wu Ming in a low voice!

"Of course I want to hear it!"

I roughly guessed what was going on, thinking, is the mission finally going to be triggered? But I still answered calmly and calmly in my heart!

"Have you heard about the rainbow-colored snail shell? It's a treasure that can only be obtained from the ancient snail in MapleStory. It has the power to grant wishes! As long as you have it, any wish can be fulfilled!"

"real or fake!"

No wonder he was talking so quietly and furtively. It turned out he was talking about this kind of thing. No wonder so many other kids wouldn't play with him! I guess that's the reason!

Wu Ming certainly couldn't believe it. After all, if such a thing really existed, whoever got it could make a wish to the Supreme God directly!

"What? You don't believe it! Impossible! Look at this book of snail legends. It describes rainbow-colored snail shells in detail. It must be true! But the snail legend doesn't mention where the snail is... If I know where the cow is, I can get the rainbow shell... I need to collect information first."

Pia looked at Wu Ming and denied his idea, then took out a book from her backpack and gave it to him!

"If you do find a rainbow-colored snail shell, remember to come back and share it with me!"

After seeing Wu Ming take the book from her hand, Pia said happily!

After Wu Ming came into contact with this book, the phased tasks in the task bar finally changed.

Snail Legend (in progress)

"Ancient Snail"

"The book Pia found is about the oldest snail on MapleStory and the rainbow-colored snail shells that can be obtained from it. After learning that the snail shells can grant wishes, Pia seems to be searching for more information... The owner of the book, Yahua, might know who the author is. Let's go find him!"

"Yahua...I think I've heard it there before!"

Looking at the mission details, Wu Ming was full of doubts, and then he remembered that when the child king was leading the way, he seemed to have met a scholar-looking man, who seemed to have called him Brother Yahua!

Wu Ming, who was about to say hello and leave, suddenly stopped. This time he remembered about learning skills, so he asked Pia a question!

"Excuse me, where is the powerful adventurer who guards Shooter Village? Do you know where he is? I want to ask him something!"

"Oh! Are you looking for Miss Helena? She's the powerful adventurer who protects our Archer Village! Many villagers who want to become adventurers come to Helena to learn how to become archers! When I grow up, I want to be an adventurer too and go on adventures in various places on Treasure Island!"

"She's going straight in this direction. Not far away there's a mushroom house made of trees. She usually practices there!"

As he spoke, Piazhi walked to the right front and told Wu Ming about his location and his future dreams.

Following the direction of Pia's finger, Wu Ming saw a tall mushroom house in the distance. It was not far from him, so he walked straight over!

Not long after, Wu Ming walked to the door of the mushroom tree house. The door was open, so Wu Ming went in without any hesitation!

"Mage, what's the matter?"

Helena was obviously not expecting to see an adventurer with the magician profession enter her room, and asked curiously!

Hearing the voice, Wu Ming looked up in the direction of the voice and saw a young girl on the second floor asking questions gently!

Wu Ming's gaze focused on the young woman. She had long, pale green hair that cascaded down her shoulders, gently brushing against her fair skin. Her eyes were like deep lakes, gleaming with a mysterious and captivating light, and her long eyelashes fluttered slightly like butterfly wings.

The girl was dressed in a loose, robe-like armor that seemed to envelop her entire body, yet it didn't affect her graceful figure in the slightest. A golden armor crowned her head, creating a striking contrast with her long, flowing hair, making her look particularly dazzling.

Wu Ming noticed the girl holding a blue longbow, which shone with a faint light, as if imbued with endless power. He couldn't help but imagine her heroic appearance while holding the longbow, which must be amazing.

Overall, the girl's image is full of charm and mystery, reminiscent of the legendary elves.

Although Wu Ming was a little fascinated by what he saw, he quickly reacted after seeing the puzzled expression on Helena's face gradually turn into anger.

"Which... Sorry, please forgive my rudeness. I heard that there is a powerful adventurer in Shooter Village who can teach adventurers skills. Can I learn from him?"

Looking at the beautiful elf girl in front of him who was about to get angry, Wu Ming first apologized, and then told her the purpose of coming here!

After all, there was a clear hint that he could learn the buff of any skill, so Wu Ming must try it!

"I have mastered all the techniques and skills in using bows and crossbows. Are you sure you want to learn?"

Helena looked at Wu Ming, the magician in front of her, and after a moment of silence, she said it out.

“Yes, I want to try it!”

After seeing Helena's reply, Wu Ming knew that there was hope in learning the skill, and he said it directly and affirmatively.

"If you really want to learn, I'm willing to teach you!"

As Helena spoke her doubtful words, a column for learning skills appeared in front of Wu Ming.

After a quick look, there were more than a dozen skills, some of which were randomly acquired after changing jobs. Seeing this, Wu Ming understood. If one skill was randomly acquired every 4 levels, then he could just go to every village on Treasure Island and learn from the adventurers who guarded the village!

Wu Ming took a careful look and found that only passive skills could be learned. If he wanted to learn attack-type skills, he would need to wear a crossbow. After careful consideration, Wu Ming decided to just learn the passive skills. After all, it was more or less strange for a fragile mage to use a crossbow!

After reading the skill descriptions for so long, Wu Ming finally chose two skills in the crossbow profession, one of which can be used to shoot ordinary bows and arrows with a magic wand!

One is the passive skill Concentration, and the other is the active skill Invisible Arrow.

[You learned the Archer Concentration skill, spending one million Maple Leaf Coins!]

[You learned the invisible arrow skill of the archer profession, spending one million Maple Leaf Coins!]

Needless to say, all the junk weapons and equipment that Wu Ming sold in the early stage, plus the weapons that dropped from hunting mushroom caps, were put on the list. The main point is that he is rich and powerful!

After completing the study, just max out your skills!

【Concentration Technique】

[Maximum level: 20]

Increase hit rate and evasion rate

[Current Level 20]

Lasts 300 seconds, consumes 16 MP, increases hit rate by 20 and evasion rate by 20

【Invisible Arrow】

[Maximum Level: 20]

For a certain period of time, arrows are not consumed when attacking

[Current Level 20]

Consumes 20 MP, lasts 600 seconds

Wu Ming learned the Invisible Arrow skill directly after seeing its introduction. If nothing unexpected happened, Wu Ming could rely on this skill and use the magic wand to perform normal bow and arrow attacks!

“I feel like I’m number one in the world!”

Wu Ming looked at the two essential skills for crossbowmen with full skill points on the screen, and his heart was filled with excitement and joy.

Although he was a mage, possessing these two crossbowman skills was of no practical use to him. However, the significance of successfully learning them far outweighed the two skills themselves.

In the fantasy world of MapleStory, each profession has unique passive or active skills, which give adventurers their own characteristics and abilities.

If Wu Ming could have enough Maple Leaf Coins to learn and master the skills of various professions and upgrade them to the highest level, he would become an invincible existence, even more powerful than Gandalf in the movie, the wizard with the lighting skill.

"A magician who doesn't know other professional skills is not a good adventurer! A magician only needs to click and double-click the magic!"

Wu Ming looked at his activated crossbowman skill, thinking to himself with a certain smugness. He began to envision a future of adventure, imagining how he could use the skills of various professions to instantly kill powerful monsters and enemies in front of everyone!

"Thank you, bye now!"

Wu Ming said goodbye to Helena, who was still surprised that he could successfully learn the crossbow skills, and walked towards the Archer Village.

"It's time to find Yahua and continue the mission!"

Without paying any attention to Helena who was stunned by surprise, Wu Ming went out, turned left and walked back along the original route.

Shooter Village is actually quite large, and there are many indigenous people shopping or buying and selling things on the streets, but Wu Ming did not ask them one by one. Now he has a task in hand, which he feels is enough for the time being!

Returning along the original route, Wu Ming began to see people from Blue Star one after another. Some of them were next to the teleportation array, wanting to form a team to fight monsters and level up. Most of them were adventurers who had changed their profession to shooters!

Not long after, Wu Ming walked back to the place where he had seen Yahua before.

Yahua, who was holding the book before, did not go home directly as the children's king said, but basked in the sun on a nearby chair, flipping through the thick book in his hand from time to time.

"Hello, I came to see you because of that little brat Pia! I want to know who the author of the book Snail Legend is!"

Wu Ming walked up and said hello!

"Hello! You look like an adventurer? Do you need my help? Oh! Pia asked you to return the book to me! Pia, you are so kind! It's not far away, you can do it yourself."

Seeing the book of snail legend in the man's hand, Yahua seemed to know the whole story and directly thanked Wu Ming.

Yahua took the "Legend of the Snail" from Wu Ming's hand and listened to Wu Ming's doubtful questions, and said again.

"Thank you for returning the book to me, adventurer! Feel free to let me know if you're interested in it. What? Do you know the author of The Snail's Tale?"

Then, Wu Ming listened to the scholarly man in front of him telling a story from a long time ago.

Then the task bar showed that the task was completed, and if nothing unexpected happened, Wu Ming saw the appearance of the stage task again!

When asked whether to accept the next stage of the task, Wu Ming didn't think much about it and accepted it directly!

Snail Legend 1 (Completed)

Snail Legend 2 (in progress)

"According to Yahua, he revealed the situation regarding Aloy, the author of the Snail Legend. In Yahua's recent letter, he mentioned the fairy Weiying from the Magic Forest, and suggested that they go look for Weiying."

Looking at the task details, Wu Ming complained in his heart, but looking forward to the task rewards, he still had to take a taxi to the next village, the Magic Forest!

When he arrived at the taxi at the village entrance, Wu Ming got in!

"Damn, this guy is rich! He actually took a taxi!"

"Does he look familiar to you?"

"It seems to be the man who killed the Pianus cub!"

In the taxi, Wu Ming listened to their voices, and the next moment, he arrived at the magical forest.
