Online Game: I'm in MapleStory

Come to the front of the fairy Weiying.

"Hello, these are the snail shells you asked me to collect!"

Wu Ming took out 150 snail shells of three colors from his backpack and placed them in front of him!

"Have you got all the snail shells? Let me see. One, two, three... Great! I got them all, without missing a single one. What are they for, you ask? Someone said they'd be useful for practicing snail throwing, so I agreed to get them for him. Well done! To repay you, I'll tell you the information about the Red Snail King!"

The fairy Weiying looked at the many snail shells in front of her happily. While counting the snail shells, she told Wu Ming the legend of the Red Snail King!

Listening to the young man in front of him talking a lot of irrelevant things, Wu Ming did not dare to interrupt. After all, this was not a game, and the natives here might be more powerful than him!

"Seeing you're so engrossed and seeming to get along so well, let me give you a piece of advice! If you want to defeat the Red Snail King, you need to be at least level 20. Otherwise, you won't be able to defeat him even if you get there!"

As the advice came to an end, a task completion prompt popped up in front of Wu Ming, and then the next stage task appeared!

Help the fairy Weiying hunt for the snails he needs! (Completed)

Reward: 1000 experience points.

Snail Legend - Final Chapter

"After giving the fairy Weiying the snail shell, I got some information about the Red Snail King. It's said that the Red Snail King often appears near the grassy areas by the sea. Let's go back to Shooter Village and find Pia to discuss it!"

Looking at the prompt of the final chapter in the taskbar, Wu Ming also breathed a sigh of relief. Has it finally reached the last step?

Unfortunately, I am not level 20 yet. According to the fairy Weiying, I probably won’t be able to defeat the Red Snail King even if I go. Forget it, I’ll just learn some skills first!

"Hello, there's one more thing I want to ask you. I want to learn magician skills. Can you tell me where the powerful adventurer who guards this magical forest is?"

Wu Ming looked at the fairy Weiying who was sorting the snail shells and putting them in the warehouse, and directly told him the second important thing about his visit to the magic forest.

"Ah! Are you talking about Lord Hans? He's at the top of the Magic Forest. If you climb up the vines, you'll see a big house. That's where Lord Hans practices!"

"Thanks!"

Wu Ming listened to the goblin Weiying's words and immediately began to climb without hesitation. Due to the physical changes brought about by the upgrade, he did not feel tired, but instead felt full of strength. Like an agile monkey, he quickly and easily climbed to the highest point of the vine.

When he reached the top, he saw a brown-gold house tightly wrapped by a massive main vine. The house seemed to merge with the vine, yet it maintained a certain independence. Its appearance was unique and mysterious, giving off a sense of antiquity and solemnity.

Around the house, countless thin vines intertwined and entwined, forming a beautiful landscape. However, these vines seemed to have a special reverence for the house and would not approach it, as if blocked by some invisible force. This strange sight piqued Wu Ming's curiosity, and he wanted to explore it.

Wu Ming, using the vine's flexibility and elasticity, lightly leaped to the door. Standing there, he was surprised to find it unlocked. But without hesitation, driven by his inner courage and curiosity, he resolutely entered the mysterious house.

As he stepped through the threshold, a light fragrance filled his nostrils, making him feel relaxed and happy. The light in the room was soft and warm, and the walls were inlaid with gemstones that shimmered with faint light, making the whole room seem particularly mysterious and peaceful.

Wu Ming looked around, taking in every detail. He noticed a number of strange objects and decorations placed throughout the room, all of which exuded a strange aura. In the center of the room, a vine entwined a glowing blue crystal, and within it floated a white-haired, long-bearded old man.

Wu Ming approached the crystal, observing the meditative old man and the crystal stone behind him. The stone seemed to contain some mysterious knowledge and power. Gradually, as if being controlled, he reached towards the blue crystal.

Just as he was getting incredibly close to the blue crystal, the old man who had been meditating in the air suddenly opened his eyes. Wu Ming snapped back to his senses, and the next moment, he saw a figure quietly appear beside him, staring at him.

Wu Ming's eyes widened and his heart beat faster. He stared at the mysterious figure, as if he wanted to see through it.

At this moment, he was shocked to realize that the old man who was originally floating in the air had quietly come to his side without him knowing when.

The old man wore a pristine white robe, its hems fluttering gently in the wind. He wore a long magic hat, surmounted by a dazzling golden five-pointed star. He had a snow-white goatee on his chin, which flowed down his chest to his abdomen. This beard gave the impression that the old man had a long life!

In his left hand, the old man tightly grasped a strangely shaped wooden magic wand, the tip of which shone with a strange light. In his right hand, he held a blue magic sphere suspended in the air, its surface etched with mysterious runes. A faint glow emanated from the old man's body, like the brightest star in the night sky, captivating everyone.

"Hello! I'm here to learn some skills!"

Feeling embarrassed, the old man didn't say anything and just looked at Wu Ming quietly.

"of course can!"

Hans thought about Wu Ming for a moment, stretched out his hand and waved, and the next moment, a skill bar appeared in front of Wu Ming.

Looking at the dazzling array of mage skills, Wu Ming was so excited that he chose them all, only to find that he could only learn two.

It turns out that there is a level requirement for learning each skill. You will get a random skill every four times you level up, and every five times you level up you can spend Maple Leaf Coins to purchase skills from the Guardian Adventurer!

Of course, there are additional skills, but they need to be dropped by hunting monsters or obtained through special tasks. This situation is very rare!

After struggling for a long time, Wu Ming finally decided to buy two skills, one is magic absorption, and the other is group healing for the nurse profession!

Each profession will have different routes based on different skills and directions. For example, the mage has three routes: fire and poison, ice and thunder, and nurse.

Of course, the online career route has nothing to do with Wu Ming. After all, Wu Ming can learn any skill.

After paying the gold coins, Wu Ming successfully learned these two skills.

【Magic Absorption】(Not activated)

[Maximum Level: 20]

When using magic attacks, absorbs the monster's MP.

This is ineffective when the monster's MP is 0.

[Current Level 0]

Absorbed at a rate of 0% during attack, with a maximum of 0%.

God-level skills! Isn't this a perpetual motion chicken skill? What's there to be afraid of when upgrading? After all, mages are afraid of not having enough MP, and warriors and archers are afraid of not having enough HP. Now that I have obtained this magic absorption skill, it's not directly zero consumption!

After seeing the skill details, Wu Ming filled it up without saying anything!

【Magic Absorption】

[Maximum Level: 20]

When using magic attacks, absorbs the monster's MP.

This is ineffective when the monster's MP is 0.

[Current Level 20]

Absorbs MP at a rate of 30% of the attacking rate, up to a maximum of 40%

Wu Ming was very excited when he saw the description of the full-level skills!

This skill is arguably the most buggy one at this stage! While other magicians can also learn it, who currently has more Maple Leaf Coins than Wu Ming? How many people can actually purchase a skill and then max it out immediately?

Next, continue to look at the group healing skills!

【Group Healing】(Not activated)

[Maximum Level: 30]

Restores the HP of surrounding members. The amount of HP restored varies depending on the number of surrounding members. (Causes damage to surrounding dark attribute monsters)

[Current Level: 0]

Consume 0, restore 0%

"It can actually damage dark monsters! It's a god-level skill!"

Looking at the skill description, Wu Ming maxed it out directly!

Mass Healing

[Maximum Level: 30]

Restores the HP of surrounding members. The amount of HP restored varies depending on the number of surrounding members. (Causes damage to surrounding dark attribute monsters)

[Current Level 30]

Consumes 24, restores 300% and increases range

"It's even increased its range. I wonder how big it is! Never mind. For now, it's enough to use it on myself!"

After learning the skills, Wu Ming was overjoyed. He said goodbye to Hans in front of him excitedly and prepared to go to Shooter Village to find Pia to complete the task!

"Little guy, the use of skills depends on your own heart! Don't let powerful abilities cloud your mind!"

Hans looked at the adventurer who was about to leave, said a few words, then returned to his meditative state and slowly floated in the air.

After learning the skills and leaving Hans' house, Wu Ming thought about it and felt that it was pointless to go looking for Pia now. The fairy Weiying said that it is recommended to be at level 20 to fight. It is estimated that this snail king must have some requirements before hunting, otherwise it would be impossible to say that it can only be hunted at level 20 for no reason!

After thinking about it, Wu Ming decided to take a taxi around Treasure Island and learn skills from the guardians of every village!

He did it right away and climbed along the vines to the bottom of the magical forest. He found the taxi he had taken and got in!

Looking at the coordinates of Treasure Island given by the taxi, Wu Ming took a closer look. Apart from the Warrior Tribe, there were only two villages left, the Abandoned City and the others that he hadn't visited!

After randomly choosing the Warrior Tribe, the next moment, Wu Ming felt like he was directly arriving at the Loess Plateau.

What meets the eye is the Huangshan Mountain, which is so high that it reaches the sky, layer upon layer. The village of the Warrior Tribe is actually built on a mountain, which looks similar to the Magic Forest!

After randomly finding a passerby and asking about the adventurer who was guarding the warrior tribe, Wu Ming started climbing the mountain!

Not long after, they climbed to the top of a mountain. Wu Ming looked at the only building on the top of the mountain. There was a double door at the entrance with a human relief carved on it.

In the left door, the human-shaped relief is holding a sword, and in the right door, the one holding a spear. Wu Ming looked at the scene in front of him. It looked a bit like the style of ancient Greece, and a bit like the style of ancient Indian tribes!

Wu Ming wanted to go in directly to learn skills from the adventurer, so he pushed open the two embossed stone doors. However, when he pushed them open, he found that this door was much heavier than the other doors!

To this end, Wu Ming put in a lot of effort, and with the addition of a little magic wand leverage principle, he finally opened the stone door!

"Wow! A frail magician actually has the strength to push open this stone door and come in. Not bad! Hello! Young man, just call me martial arts coach. So, may I ask, little magician, what can I do for you?"

It didn't seem surprising that the person who came in was the magician Wu Ming. Perhaps the martial arts coach had already observed Wu Ming when he pushed the door.

Straight to the point, Wu Ming heard what the Indian man in front of him said and directly stated his purpose of coming: to learn skills!

The next second, multiple skills that could be learned appeared in front of Wu Ming, but considering his current level, he could only learn two skills, so he started looking for passive skills!

After pondering for a while, Wu Ming finally decided to directly choose Life Recovery and Life Enhancement, two passive skills that increase HP and speed up the recovery of HP!

Top up directly after learning.

【Health Recovery】

[Maximum level: 16]

Increases HP recovery every 5 seconds

[Current Level 16]

HP Recovery +50

The skill is directly maxed out, and Wu Ming's HP now recovers faster than that of a warrior with blood shield!

If you are satisfied with this skill, you can just max out the other skills.

【Life Enhancement】

[Maximum Level: 10]

As you level up and use skill points to increase your HP, the rate at which your maximum HP increases increases.

[Current Level 10]

Max HP increased by +40 per level up, +30 per skill point increase.

It is impossible for Wu Ming to use skill points to increase HP. After all, he is pursuing the ultimate output, so every upgrade is added to intelligence!

Of course, this life-enhancing skill also adds an upper limit of 40 HP each time it is upgraded. Even if you don't use skill points to add it, the health volume in the later stages will be similar to that of the Blood Shield Warrior. After all, this skill has been obtained in the early stages!

After learning the skills, Wu Ming said goodbye to his martial arts coach and headed for the taxi. He was filled with anticipation, as there was only one more skill left to learn.

When he got out of the taxi, the scene before him felt like he was in a city of crime. Graffiti covered the walls, and a dilapidated subway station came into view. It was clear that this abandoned city had a more urban feel than the other villages, which were either filled with strangely painted mushrooms or towering vines and yellow mountains.

Without paying much attention, Wu Ming decided to find the location of the adventurers guarding the village first. He looked for natives on the roadside to inquire about the news. After learning that they were in the underground bar, he went to that place without hesitation.
