Online Game: I'm in MapleStory

Chapter 18: Field Upgrade

The moment Wu Ming walked into the bar, Dakru inside sensed something and muttered to himself.

"What skills do you want to learn? Come and take a look!"

Seeing Wu Ming coming up, before he could even say his request, Dakhru stretched out his hand and waved towards him.

Wu Ming took a look and two skills appeared in front of him, one was Qinggong and the other was Falling Leaf Slash!

"Wow, the Falling Leaf Slash I used with the hidden skill given by the cloak turned out to be a skill belonging to Fei Xia!"

After thinking about it, Wu Ming decided to just learn Qinggong for the time being. After all, it increases his movement speed and can be used to speed up his journey!

For the time being, it is enough to use the skills that come with the exclusive purple-gold maple leaf cloak to kill the falling leaves!

Wu Ming bought it and filled it up directly. He looked at this travel skill with satisfaction and smiled. After all, this skill was the most practical skill for traveling.

【Qinggong】

[Maximum level: 20]

Increases the movement speed and jumping power of all team members

[Current Level 20]

Consumes 30 MP, lasts 200 seconds, movement speed +40, jump power +20

"Next we're going to Shooter Village!"

After learning all the professional skills that can be learned at this stage, Wu Ming planned to go to the Archer Village to find Pia to check out the next task!

"Little brother, don't leave in a hurry. I have something good to give you."

Seeing Wu Ming finishing learning the skills and about to leave, Daruk threw a scroll to him.

He took it, but before Wu Ming could open it, the spark of his soul came out of his body and collided with the scroll in front of him.

The next moment, a map of Treasure Island that was refreshed at any time appeared in front of Wu Ming. Except for not being able to see people, he could see the monster refresh time in the areas he walked through in the wild!

Of course, what he saw were the maps that Wu Ming had visited. For those maps he had not visited, he could only see a route and had no idea what monsters or dangers existed in them.

At this moment, Wu Ming felt that a long time had passed, so long that he was completely familiar with and understood the function of this map, so long that he felt that he had memorized all the precautions of the map. But when he came to his senses, he was just stunned in front of Dakru.

"If you have nothing to do here, go and do your own thing!"

Dakru looked at Wu Ming who had come to his senses and ordered him to leave.

Wu Ming didn't think much of it, just feeling lucky that he had obtained a magic map of Treasure Island. Then, under Dakru's gaze, he left the bar.

I opened the map and took a look. From the abandoned city to the Shooter Village, I still have to pass through the wild area of ​​Pearl Port where I first visited. I have almost spent all my Maple Leaf Coins, and the junk on the auction system has not been sold yet.

Wu Ming thought about it, there is Qinggong to pass through the map quickly, there is Concentration to increase the probability of avoiding collisions with monsters, there is the warrior's passive blood recovery and the nurse's active blood recovery!

Protected by a large number of skills, Wu Ming decided to rush from the abandoned city to Shooter Village!

Wu Ming did what he said and walked directly from the abandoned city to the wilderness of Pearl Harbor!

Stepping out of the teleportation array, the map indicated the wilderness area he had arrived at was called the 'Fall Hazard Zone.' Wu Ming peered over and saw a map of the urban-rural fringe, still styled like Vice City.

Looking at the names of the wild areas shown on the map, Wu Ming was able to better distinguish the boundaries of the wild areas!

This area was probably once a residential area, and perhaps something unexpected happened, driving the monsters into the abandoned city. Because this area was filled with high-rise buildings and residential buildings like those in fifth-tier cities, Wu Ming felt like he was in an urban village!

Wu Ming walked forward, and from time to time he had to avoid the damaged buildings on the tall buildings, because some industrial debris fell down from time to time, and almost hit him several times.

"No wonder Fei Xia's skills include Qinggong! It's really unique, otherwise ordinary people would be crushed to death if they passed through this map!"

Wu Ming looked at the industrial debris from high altitude that hit him from time to time and complained inwardly.

Looking from afar at the area of ​​modern city ruins, the green of the forest appeared at the end of the map, so Wu Ming felt that this was the urban-rural fringe. This was mainly because in this urban map paved with floor tiles, green water spirits and wood monsters actually appeared. If it weren't for the monsters, he might have thought this was a safe zone in an abandoned city.

All the monsters he saw were weak. Wu Ming used his Qinggong skills to bully Lu Shuiling while heading towards the forest at the end of the map.

He saw a lot of people on the road, but Wu Ming ignored them. Under their envious gazes, he easily killed the monster in seconds and went straight ahead.

Next to the trees and jungle not far away, Wu Ming vaguely saw a teleportation array emitting light. Without looking at it for long, he was confident in his current strength and went directly to the next map.

After entering the forest, Wu Ming strolled through it with a cheerful mood, enjoying the lush greenery and the refreshing beauty of the forest. As he walked leisurely, he suddenly remembered to look at the map, so he opened it and looked at it.

The name of the forest marked on the map was "Ni'en Forest," and when he stepped into the forest, the small lights on the map activated. Wu Ming opened the map details without hesitation and studied it carefully.

What surprised Wu Ming was that there were actually a large number of blue mushrooms in this forest. What made him even more excited was that at this stage, these blue mushrooms were not only in a one-shot kill state for him, but killing them also earned him normal experience points, which could be used to level up!

How can you miss such a rare opportunity?

Therefore, Wu Ming made up his mind to make good use of the blue mushrooms on this map, hunt blue mushrooms with all his strength in this Nien Forest, and strive to reach level 20 as soon as possible before moving on.

He kept his word and did what he wanted to do. Wu Ming immediately took action and started the map clearing and hunting operation!

Kill the Flower Mushroom

Kill Green Water Spirit

Kill Mushroom Boy

Kill Blue Mushrooms

. . .

With his current level and output, Wu Ming could kill the blue mushrooms jumping up and down instantly. He would attack monsters as he saw them in the Ni'en Forest, and if there were no monsters, he would just push forward.

With his passive skill automatically restoring and absorbing MP, Wu Ming didn't know how many times he had cleared his MP bar. However, he didn't take out a chair to recover. He just let his passive skill recover slowly, which was much faster than sitting on a chair.

Among the professions in the MapleStory world, some professions' skills require cooling, but most output skills do not have cooling time. Only a small number of active amplification skills have cooling requirements.

It can be said that Wu Ming's basic attack skill can now be said to be a magic double attack! The MP bar was cleared because he used Falling Leaf Slash a few times out of playfulness.

Because he was in a playful mood, Wu Ming also knew that his Falling Leaf Slash could deal over 2,000 damage.

When pushing through the Ni'en Forest, Wu Ming found that the monsters here were all those he had seen and hunted before, and even an inexperienced person could kill them instantly, after all, there were also dropped items.

While upgrading, use the map teleportation array to teleport to the next wild area, and light up all the points marked on the map!

Looking at the lit symbols on his mobile map, Wu Ming developed a habit of collecting the lit symbols. Moreover, the lit symbols on the map can also be used to check the map status anytime and anywhere. This is the best auxiliary tool for Wu Ming now!

As I was thinking about it, I suddenly became confused. Am I the only one who got this map?

Then I opened the world chat bar and took a look.

"Collecting materials and drops from various monsters! Private message for prices! Can be auctioned!"

"I'm level 12, need help leveling up. 10,000 Blue Star Coins per level! We can meet and pay on the spot when we return to Blue Star."

"Have you heard? A certain boss is now level 18. For now, the highest level we know of is that boss!"

"Bullshit! Remember the man who killed the Pianus cub in that dimension? I heard he's already level 19."

"Special information! Boss Li Erxiong spent a fortune developing the five villages on Treasure Island, and suddenly he was rewarded with the activation of the world map!"

"Is this true? There's actually a map? I only know about Pearl Harbor!"

"I found an area called the 'Gold Coast' in Pearl Harbor, but I don't have the money to go see it!"

"This hidden map was actually revealed. The person above is probably going to lose millions of dollars!"

. . . . . .

Wu Ming looked at the world chat bar, using his mind as a hand to scroll through the information he wanted. The world chat bar had the function of saving chats, so as he kept scrolling up, it took him a while to finally confirm the information he wanted!

At least now I am still the one with the highest level, and activating the map function is a reward for those who are rich and powerful and have opened up five major villages!

Wu Ming was activated by accident. Of course, because he could learn the skills of all professions and obtain a large number of maple leaf coins in the early stage, he had to go around these villages no matter what.

After reading it and getting the information he wanted, Wu Ming continued his journey of pioneering.

"Clap!"

-1322

After this attack, Wu Ming finally reached level 20.

At the same time, he also obtained a lot of equipment and various monster materials and potions. Among them was a magic wand suitable for Wu Ming's current use.

【Mage Staff】

Weapon Classification: Long Staff

Attack speed: Slow

Attack power +29

Magic Power +40

Seeing that the attributes of the wooden staff were much better than his current one, Wu Ming immediately changed into it. Then he sorted out his backpack and found a pair of purple gem shoes with +1 intelligence, so he changed into those as well.

Then he put all the excess equipment materials and potions on the auction system at half price. Based on the current upgrade and monster-killing speed, Wu Ming knew that if he didn't lower the price to sell these equipment and weapons, they would probably become worthless soon.

After cleaning up his backpack, Wu Ming continued to push through the map.

Soon they arrived at the next teleportation array. After passing through the teleportation array, Wu Ming's world map also lit up the information of this map!

Looking at the wild name "Three-way Crossroads" given on the map, Wu Ming realized that going back would lead to an abandoned city, going straight toward the middle would lead to Pearl Harbor, and going forward would lead to Shooter Village!

At this intersection, Wu Ming had already seen many teams leveling up by killing monsters. After all, this was the closest area to Pearl Harbor. Most of them had just come from Rainbow Island and were leveling up in the wild.

Thinking about activating the wild area map near Pearl Harbor, Wu Ming decided to go to Pearl Harbor first to satisfy his habit of collecting activated maps. Wu Ming followed the route that had not yet activated the bright spot on the map and headed towards Pearl Harbor.

Stepping back into Pearl Harbor, Wu Ming opened the map and carefully looked at the details of the monsters in the wild.

Looking at them one by one, when he saw a three-way intersection, Wu Ming's eyes lit up. A hidden map was displayed on the map, and the monsters marked on the map were a three-colored snail and a red snail king!

"Wow, it was such a breeze! I found the Red Snail King before I even got to Shooter Village to look for Pia!"

Seeing this, Wu Ming thought of the word "elite monster"! At this point, he couldn't wait to take a look!

After all, this was the first elite monster Wu Ming encountered after traveling to the MapleStory world, so he wanted to go to the wild immediately and return to the fork in the road to look for it again!

Just as I was about to step onto the teleportation array, a voice suddenly appeared in my ears!

"Brother, how about we talk business again?"

Seeing that the person coming was the man named Zhao who had appeared in the Magic Forest, Wu Ming teleported out of the wilderness directly!

As soon as he was teleported out of the "Coastal Jungle" area on the outskirts of Pearl Port, the teleportation array suddenly emitted light, and the next moment, a group of people gathered around Wu Ming.

Looking at the last leader who was teleported out, Wu Ming frowned tightly.

"Perhaps I haven't introduced myself in detail before. It's a rare coincidence that we meet, so I want to fully introduce myself again!"

The man who led the group surrounding Wu Ming showed a confident look and said to him with a smile, as if if they didn't listen to his introduction, they would be beaten up in the next moment!

Of course, this was not a coincidence, but it happened that when Wu Ming stepped into Pearl Port, he was seen by the employees of Master Zhao's group company, who directly informed him, and only then did he know that Wu Ming had come to Pearl Port.

After knowing that Wu Ming was currently at Pearl Harbor, he paid a large sum of money to have a dozen of his employees take a taxi with him. This cost him over 100,000 Maple Leaf Coins.

Of course, this amount of money is just a drop in the bucket for Young Master Zhao. After all, his family is the eldest son of a group company with huge wealth.

"Let me be clear, I'm the heir to a group that holds 60% of the national fresh meat market—Zhao Ruilong!"

Zhao Ruilong proudly stated that those who were not in the know might mistakenly believe that the entire group was built on his strength. However, Wu Ming knew full well that Zhao Ruilong's father was the one with real power.

“Sorry, I’m in a hurry! Please make way!”

Wu Ming nodded politely to indicate that he understood and prepared to leave them and move on.

At the same time, he thought to himself: "Isn't he just a pig-killing family? He is just a pork seller who supplies most of the market in the country!"

Just as Wu Ming took a few steps forward, several figures suddenly appeared beside him, quickly surrounded him, and blocked his way forward.

"What on earth do you want to do?"

Wu Ming stared coldly at Zhao Ruilong and his lackeys in front of him, with a hint of coldness flashing in his eyes.

Obviously, he realized that trouble was coming!
