【Substitute Technique】

[Maximum Level: 20]

After using this skill, it summons a scarecrow that looks like the main character. The scarecrow will absorb all attacks from monsters. The main character is invulnerable until the scarecrow's HP is reduced.

[Current Level: 20]

Cost: 200, summoning time: 60, scarecrow HP: 6000.

"Holy crap! Holy crap! This Substitution Technique Scarecrow's HP is twice as high as mine!"

Looking at the full-level skill of substitution, Wu Ming was ecstatic.

After bidding farewell to the beautiful, enthusiastic and cheerful Helena, Wu Ming embarked on his journey without hesitation. According to the idea in his mind just now, he headed straight for the mysterious and dangerous wild map, and his destination was the magical jungle that everyone longed for.

Wu Ming was completely focused and walked briskly along the way. However, the long journey and the frequent use of the fast movement skill caused his MP value to gradually run low.

Whenever he felt his MP was about to run out, Wu Ming would pause and search for a suitable monster to attack. His movements were as swift as lightning, and his lightning spells were unleashed with unstoppable force. Each strike landed precisely on a group of monsters, emitting a series of dull thuds.

Following this series of intense battles, Wu Ming's passive skill, "Magic Absorption," was fully activated. A powerful suction force surged from his body, continuously drawing in the scattered magic energy from all around him. In the blink of an eye, the previously empty MP bar was filled again, as if it had never been depleted.

In this way, Wu Ming pushed forward all the way, constantly using fast movement and lightning to clear monsters.

After an hour or two of travel, he finally arrived at the Magic Forest and luckily learned a skill from the guardian adventurer Hans - Freezing. With this skill, Wu Ming could control monsters for a few seconds each time he used it, freezing them and creating more opportunities for him to attack.

Afterwards, Wu Ming quickly rushed to the Warrior Tribe again and found the Guardian Adventurer's martial arts instructor. With the help of the martial arts instructor's skills, Wu Ming successfully mastered a crucial life-saving passive skill - Shield Mastery.

Shield Mastery

[Maximum level: 20]

The physical defense of the shield is increased, so it is necessary to equip a shield

[Current Level 20]

Increases the shield's physical defense by 100%

After paying the tuition to learn, Wu Ming didn't even bother to look at the skill introduction and directly filled it up! Don't ask, the answer is that there are more Maple Leaf Coins and more skill points.

This passive skill doubles his defense as long as he holds a shield! He can now block damage from monsters. Combined with the power of the Substitution Technique, Wu Ming feels his defense is now invincible.

After learning these new skills, Wu Ming was even more looking forward to the flying skills in the abandoned city. Without stopping at all, he turned around and continued to run around the map and brush the jungle, heading towards the next destination, the abandoned city!

If nothing unexpected happens, Wu Ming will soon encounter a small accident.

Just as Wu Ming was passing through the western part of the Warrior Tribe and was about to step into the abandoned construction site which was full of dangers and where falling objects from high altitudes often occurred, he unexpectedly met a team of three young and beautiful girls, one man and two women. They were working hard to kill monsters to increase their levels.

The girl in the front was holding a wooden sword and shield to defend against the collision of the flower mushrooms and to attack. The girl in the middle was holding a short blade and would occasionally step forward to attack and then retreat behind the girl holding the wooden shield. Behind these two people was the only man in the team, who was desperately releasing magic bullets.

It was a rare and unusual team of three, but Wu Ming could see that they had great coordination and cooperation, and it could be said that they killed the monster without taking any damage throughout the entire process.

It can be seen that the two women are lively and cheerful, and they laughed while killing monsters for two days. Only the man was behind them, who had to use magic bullets from time to time to finish off the monsters, and he didn't say a word from beginning to end.

Wu Ming raised his hand and used a lightning spell to attack the purple three-eyed octopuses in front of him. After destroying them, he continued to move towards the teleportation array on the map.

It seemed that the sound of the lightning skill was a bit loud. Suddenly, the woman holding the short blade in the team was surprised to find Wu Ming.

Watching Wu Ming flash and strike in an instant, he easily killed a large group of highly defensive three-eyed octopus monsters with just one strike. This astonishing scene left the two girls in the team dumbfounded.

"Sister Xingyu, look over there! There's an incredibly powerful boss over there who wiped out a group of monsters with just one move! Should we recruit him into our team and ask him to lead us to level up quickly?"

The person who spoke had a soft and sweet voice, like the sound of nature. She had long twin ponytails that swayed gently with her body movements, which was very beautiful.

She was wearing a set of full-body purple soft armor exclusive to female flying heroes. The tight armor perfectly outlined her graceful figure, especially her two smooth white thighs, which were looming and full of fatal attraction.

The crystal blade tightly grasped in her hand was flashing with dazzling light. At this moment, she was skillfully chopping the surrounding flower mushrooms, while looking at Wu Ming in the distance with a sharp gaze, and at the same time turned her head and said excitedly to her captain.

"How about you, Bunny, use your charm to seduce him? After all, you're so cute and lovely. I believe any man who sees you like this will be unable to help but submit to you!"

The one who responded to Blue Bunny was the captain of the team holding a wooden sword and shield.

This captain, in fact, came from a wealthy family, a true daughter of a wealthy family. Not only did she possess a stunningly beautiful face, she also possessed an innately noble temperament and elegant manners. Her every gesture exuded the grace of a lady from a noble family, and her every frown and smile captivated the heart.

In fact, on the Blue Star, the female captain in front of him was the famous eldest daughter of the Chen family in Hong Kong City. Her name was Chen Xingyu. Unfortunately, when she traveled through time, she appeared in a different dimension. She was not in the same dimension with most of her family members. Only her younger brother Chen Xingye was in this dimension with her.

So Chen Xingyu could only form a team by herself and be self-reliant. After all, she would see that all dimensions would be merged together later, so at this stage she could only find a way to upgrade her level.

Seeing Wu Ming walking towards the team, Lan Tutu looked at Wu Ming with golden eyes.

"Handsome guy, please, take me with you! I saw it all just now. You only used one move, and you easily wiped out that large group of three-eyed octopuses that we are currently struggling to hunt!

I bet your level must be incredibly high, right? Or perhaps your skills must cost a lot of damage! Could you team up with us and help us out? If we could level up with a powerful buddy like you, we could reach level 20 even faster!

And let me tell you something! Don't be fooled by my captain's pretty face, she's actually quite wealthy. She can definitely buy your training time! Just name your price!"

Lan Tutu blinked her big watery eyes, shook her twin ponytails, and rushed straight to Wu Ming with an expectant look on her face. She stretched out her hand to stop him from moving forward and spoke in an almost pleading tone.

"I'm sorry, I really don't have time."

However, in the face of such an earnest request, Wu Ming, the Sigma man, shook his head expressionlessly and replied coldly. After that, he turned around without hesitation and strode towards the teleportation array not far away.

At this moment, the woman holding a wooden sword and a wooden shield, with a nimble and heroic figure, rushed forward and once again stood firmly in the middle of Wu Ming's path.

"Brother, please wait a moment. My name is Chen Xingyu, you can just call me Xingyu. I just saw you wandering around here alone, and my sisters and I are looking for a strong partner to team up and level up together.

I just saw you use a single attack skill, and you were able to instantly wipe out so many monsters. I guess you must have learned that energy-consuming but incredibly powerful group attack skill, right?"

Chen Xingyu stared at Wu Ming with burning eyes and spoke sincerely.

"Our powerful team not only has high-damage mages who have learned magic bullets, but also flying warriors who can increase their light skills. Of course, we also have beautiful female flesh warriors like me who have thick skin and flesh and can withstand the enemy's fierce attacks.

Such a comprehensive and complementary lineup configuration is enough to ensure that when facing a strong enemy, even after you fully release your skills, you still have plenty of time to recover your condition and thus continue to maintain a good combat posture.

As long as we work together as a team and fight side by side, we will definitely be able to achieve twice the result with half the effort!

Moreover, through long-term cooperation and coexistence, we can enhance our mutual understanding and tacit understanding. If everything goes well, we can definitely build a stable and reliable team, support each other and grow together! "

Wu Ming once again turned his gaze to the two beauties in front of him and sighed in his heart.

“I have to admit that the names of the two girls standing in front of me are indeed very eye-catching. Just hearing them makes me feel good about them.

Unfortunately, I'm currently more than capable of leveling up on my own, not to mention I'm hiding too many secrets that wouldn't be convenient for anyone else to know. After weighing the pros and cons, despite feeling reluctant, I had to harden my heart and once again decline the invitation to team up with the beautiful woman in front of me.

In the next moment, the woman leading the group seemed to have suddenly noticed something unusual. A look of astonishment flashed in her beautiful eyes, and then she reached out without hesitation to grab Lan Tutu, who was about to continue persuading them.

Wu Ming keenly caught the change in expression on Xingyu's face, and he immediately understood in his heart that the other party might have noticed the abnormality in his character attribute panel.

So, Wu Ming made a prompt decision and without any hesitation, he quickly used his fast movement skill. He was instantly teleported to the nearby teleportation array like lightning. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared without a trace and went directly across the map to the next destination.

In the blink of an eye, Wu Ming vanished like a ghost. This sudden change stunned the two women present, as if time had frozen in that moment. Especially the magician, Hoshino. She stared in the direction Wu Ming had left, a strange, elusive light flickering in her eyes.

Lan Tutu, who was the first to come back to his senses from his daze, was now full of anger and complained angrily to Chen Xingyu beside him.

"Sister Xingyu, why did you try to stop me from stopping him? I'm so pissed! No man has ever dared to treat me like this, and he even rejected me with such a cold look!"

"Bunny, don't be angry. Just now, when I opened the team panel and wanted to directly invite him to join our team, I was surprised to find that he was the man who first killed the Snail King! What's even more surprising is... his current level is as high as 25!"

Hearing Lan Tutu's complaint, Chen Xingyu took a deep breath, calmed down, and spoke slowly. Even when he mentioned the level, he became excited and paused in surprise.

After Chen Xingyu said this, Lan Tutu, who had been furious, suddenly calmed down as if under a spell. After all, Chen Xingyu was the daughter of a prominent family, so she naturally knew more about the outside world than a girl from an ordinary family.

For example, she had heard about how Zhao Ruilong of the Zhao family had been brutally murdered by Wu Ming in the wild some time ago. Thinking of this, Lan Tutu couldn't help but feel a surge of mixed emotions.

On the other hand, Wu Ming had already started paying attention to the people on the map. As soon as he saw someone, he would use quick movement to move towards the teleportation array.

Everyone just thought it was a skill used by a monster, and they would never have thought that someone had learned this high-cost chicken-assisted fast-moving skill at this stage.

The next moment, Wu Ming had arrived at the abandoned city. Seeing a large number of people in the abandoned city, he had no choice but to walk to the center of the city and find the Wasted City Jazz Bar opened by Dakru.

Standing at the door of the bar, Wu Ming suddenly felt relieved. Along the way, Wu Ming checked the levels of the nearby adventurers from time to time. Most of them were at level 15 or 16. The only one with a higher level was Chen Xingyu whom he saw in the wild. His level was the only one at level 19 among so many people he checked.

But from Mumu, Wu Ming learned that the highest level now is said to be Reg Shaogang Yuanhong from the Gun War Country, and he is also level 25!

After entering the bar, Wu Ming did not go directly to find the guardian adventurer Dakru, but walked towards the bar.

After finding a place to sit down, Wu Ming looked at the menu on the wall since he knew that the food in the MapleStory world could compensate for hunger and replenish physical strength.

"Beer, shaved ice cocktails, wine bottles, ginger beer, realgar wine!"

“Ruins Features: Lysis Resurrection Wine, 700 Years Old Green Snake Wine, VI Flower Mushroom Wine, Flower Mushroom Cocktail, Green Water Spirit Cocktail, etc.”

"Is it so expensive? This special Lysis Resurrection Wine costs 10 million Maple Leaf Coins? It's just a bottle of wine! Can it really bring people back to life?"

"Give me a Green Water Spirit Cocktail!"

After reading to the end, Wu Ming suddenly remembered the green liquid ball described in the details of Green Water Spirit's monster. It seemed that he could give it a try, so he asked the bartender for a drink directly.

"Your Green Water Spirit Cocktail, 500,000 Maple Leaf Coins!"

After paying the money, Wu Ming picked up the glass of wine and looked at it carefully.
