Online Game: I'm in MapleStory

Before long, Wu Ming successfully reached the top of the mountain and without hesitation, he went straight to his martial arts instructor and began to seriously learn various skills. After a lot of hard work, Wu Ming finally mastered all the skills he could learn.

He then immediately took a taxi to Archer Village, ready to find Helena to further learn the Archer's skills. Sitting in the car, Wu Ming felt a little excited, secretly looking forward to the powerful power and amplification that the new skills would bring.

As Wu Ming passed by Shooter Village Park, he couldn't help but walk towards the giant mushroom alarm clock. This iconic building always attracted people's attention, and for Wu Ming, it was a familiar landmark.

Thinking that since he was already here, he might as well go chat with Pia. So Wu Ming quickened his pace and headed towards the place where they often met. However, to his disappointment, after searching everywhere, he couldn't find Pia.

Although he didn't get to see Pia, Wu Ming didn't delay for too long. He just wanted to give Pia a colorful snail shell! He went straight to Helena to learn the skills of a shooter. After all, improving one's own strength was the most important thing.

After walking to the end of the Shooter Village Park and entering the room, Wu Ming took out the Maple Leaf Coins without hesitation and placed them on Helena's desk, then began to look at these new skills carefully.

One minute passed, and Wu Ming directly selected a Broken Arrow skill in the learning skill column, and then completed learning the skills of the Archer Village!

"Thanks!"

Wu Ming felt there was no need to stay here any longer, so he stood up and said goodbye to Helena. After a brief greeting, he quickly turned around and left, heading back to the taxi stand.

While walking, Wu Ming couldn't help but open the skill bar to check the various professional skills he had just learned.

After looking through them carefully, Wu Ming discovered that most of these skills had powerful output capabilities, which could make him more lethal in battle, while the remaining ones were auxiliary skills, such as the psychic skills used by mages to enhance their magic power!

Although these things are good for Wu Ming, in reality, their effects are very limited. You know, now Wu Ming only needs to continuously kill monsters to continuously obtain attribute points.

In comparison, this weak attribute amplification skill is unlikely to have a significant impact. However, having said that, it is not without benefits.

After all, these amplifications can be applied not only to oneself, but also to teammates. If the magic power of teammates can be improved, then the corresponding magic defense will also be enhanced to a certain extent, which can bring some benefits to teammates.

"Well, it's better than nothing! At least it's better than nothing!"

Wu Ming muttered to himself as he looked at the skills that had been upgraded to the maximum level and couldn't help but sigh softly.

"Alas... Now the only thing left to figure out is Feixia's skills!"

Wu Ming then walked up to the taxi, quickly got in, and chose the abandoned city as his destination. With the roar of the engine, the taxi sped off like an arrow.

Other cars sped past them along the way. Wu Ming looked out the window and saw that the scenery outside seemed to be affected by some strange force, becoming bizarre and strange.

Perhaps because the taxi was traveling through another dimension, the scenery outside the car was colorful and dazzling. The pictures switched rapidly in front of Wu Ming's eyes like a kaleidoscope, which was dizzying.

A few seconds later, the taxi came to a steady stop at the abandoned city's taxi stand. Wu Ming pushed open the door and stepped out. He took a deep breath, and the familiar air of desolation washed over him. This dilapidated, abandoned city still exuded a unique scent!

Without hesitation, Wu Ming walked briskly toward the bar owned by Dakru. He knew the map of the abandoned city by heart. In a short while, he arrived at the bar's entrance.

Pushing open the unassuming door, Wu Ming strode into the bar. Not many people were in the bar at the moment, and the bartender at the front desk was still busily wiping glasses. He passed everyone in the bar and headed straight for the room inside.

"Hey! Long time no see, friend Wu Ming!"

Seeing Wu Ming come in, Dakru said with a smile on his face.

"No way, I haven't been here for a few days! Dakru, I've reached level 30 now, and I can learn new skills! I'm a bit pressed for time today, so I won't order any drinks from you. Hurry and show me your skills!"

Wu Ming walked quickly to Dakru and responded with a smile.

For some reason, Wu Ming, a wizard, always felt an indescribable sense of strangeness in his heart whenever he faced Hans, the guardian adventurer of the magical forest, as if there was an invisible gap between the two.

The same feeling arose when facing the guardian adventurers of other villages. In contrast, when Wu Ming met Darkru, an inexplicable sense of familiarity surged over him like a tide, lingering.

Dakru also treated Wu Ming differently. Whenever Wu Ming raised various questions, Dakru never showed any impatience. He always answered with a smile and a gentle tone. His patience was like the warm sunshine in spring, gently falling on Wu Ming's heart.

At first, Wu Ming simply thought that this was just due to the different personalities of the guardian adventurers in each professional village, and that Dakru might have been born to be such a kind and amiable person.

However, a chance encounter completely shattered Wu Ming's original perception. That day, when Wu Ming went to learn new skills from him, he accidentally caught a glimpse of Dakru communicating with others. His face was as calm as water, and his tone was neither hot nor cold.

Only when he looked at himself would a special light flash in Darkru's eyes for a moment, and even the tone of his voice would rise unconsciously, full of concern or a strange feeling of companionship.

This subtle difference was like a flash of lightning that pierced the night sky, causing Wu Ming to suddenly realize the strangeness of the situation. However, since this matter did not bring any substantial impact to him, Wu Ming only pondered it briefly in his heart and did not delve into it further.

At this moment, a figure was seen standing upside down in the room like a ghost, practicing silently. This person was Dakru who was talking to Wu Ming.

He was dressed in a black tights and a mask, looking like a ninja. When he knew that Wu Ming came to him to learn skills, he swung his arm without saying a word and swung it straight in Wu Ming's direction.

The next moment, a list of Flying Hero skills appeared before Wu Ming's eyes. He took a closer look and was surprised to find that it contained only one skill. Without hesitation, Wu Ming selected this single skill and began studying it.

Recalling the time when he went to other villages to look for guardian adventurers to learn skills, those skill columns always presented a wide variety of options for him to choose from.

However, every time I come to Dakru, the situation is completely different. Basically, there are only one or two pitiful skills.

The last time Wu Ming came to learn skills, he only had the Shadow Clone skill. Unexpectedly, this time when he came to learn skills again, he still only had this one skill.

After witnessing this for the second time, Wu Ming couldn't help but wonder. Could it be that these skills were waiting for him to learn? Or were they being forced upon him?

After all, he had come here twice in a row, and each time there was only one skill to learn with no other options. This really made Wu Ming feel helpless and puzzled!

Wu Ming pondered for a long time, but he still couldn't figure out the reason. He shook his head and decided not to dwell on it anymore. It was futile to rack his brains anyway.

When his eyes moved to the price of that skill, he couldn't help but gasp. It actually cost 10 million Maple Leaf Coins!

However, in just a moment, Wu Ming's surprise disappeared without a trace, and his eyes became calm again. For him, as long as he could improve his strength, any high price was worth it.

"It's always good to have many skills!"

Wu Ming thought to himself, and without hesitation, he took out a full 10 million maple leaf tokens from his backpack and placed them steadily on the table beside him.

Then he decisively chose to learn the skill. After doing all this, Wu Ming stood up and walked towards Dakru, greeted him politely, and then left the bar without looking back.

There was still half an hour before the agreed time. Wu Ming walked leisurely towards the sewer entrance.

He was in a good mood along the way, even humming a little tune. Taking advantage of this leisure time, Wu Ming leisurely opened the skill bar and carefully checked the last flying man exclusive skill he had just learned.

【Magic】(Not activated)

[Maximum Level: 30]

When attacking, you can obtain items from monsters with a certain probability.

[Current Level: 0]

Consumption 0, success rate 0%, attack power 0%

"Holy crap! What kind of god-level skill is this? Just looking at the description, it sounds so awesome, and it's a special type of skill! No wonder it costs a full 10 million Maple Leaf Coins to learn it!

However, judging by the skill details I've seen so far, this money is definitely worth it! I just wonder how high the chance of successfully stealing items will be once this skill reaches the maximum level?

Wu Ming stared at the detailed introduction of this skill on the skill bar with wide eyes, and couldn't help feeling ecstatic.

Immediately, he began to rapidly conjure up countless possible applications and strategies for this skill. The more he thought about it, the more excited he became, as if he could already see himself using this skill to desperately obtain all kinds of goodies and equipment in the MapleStory world.

Without any hesitation, Wu Ming decisively chose to upgrade this skill to the maximum level in one go.

【Magic Skills】

[Maximum Level: 30]

When attacking, you can obtain items from monsters with a certain probability.

[Current Level: 30]

Consumption 12, success rate 40%, attack power 100%

"That's not bad, the success rate is a full 40%! Doesn't that mean it's almost a 50/50 chance?"

Wu Ming looked at the details of the magical skills that had been upgraded to the maximum level and thought to himself.

Excited, Wu Ming continued forward at a brisk pace. Soon, he arrived at the entrance to the stinking sewer.

"Boss, you're here! Let me tell you, I'm really going to make a fortune this time!"

Suddenly, an excited shout broke the silence and sounded at the entrance of the smelly sewer.

Wu Ming was originally immersed in his own thoughts. After hearing the sudden shout, he suddenly came to his senses and looked in the direction where the voice came from.

He saw a tall, thin man standing there with a happy face, waving at him constantly. It was Ah Hao who had been waiting for his arrival.

"Boss, come here quickly! I have great news to tell you!"

Seeing that Wu Ming finally noticed him, Ah Hao was so excited that he danced and shouted non-stop.

"What's going on? You're so happy, did you learn some amazing god-level skills?"

Seeing this, Wu Ming couldn't help but feel a little curious, so he walked over quickly and asked Ah Hao. As he spoke, he looked Ah Hao up and down, trying to find some clues from him.

"Boss, I have to tell you what just happened! Just now, I went to that guy named Dakru with great joy to learn new skills. You don't know, Dakru has a stern face all day long, a cold and indifferent look, which really depressed me.

I couldn't help but mutter a few complaints, and accidentally said your name, Boss. Hey! Guess what happened next? As soon as Dakru heard I was your teammate, his attitude took a 180-degree turn, and he suddenly became enthusiastic!

Not only that, he even gave me a 10% discount on the skill I wanted to learn! I almost thought this Guardian Adventurer was fake! After I finished learning the skill, I was about to say goodbye to him and leave, but I didn't expect an even bigger surprise to come!

Without hesitation, Dakru refilled my backpack with several sets of darts for free! He even said that if I needed more darts in the future, they would be free! You know, it usually costs a lot of money to refill those darts! Now I can do it for free!

Most importantly, he even gave me a gear dart! This gear dart is extraordinary, it can actually increase the attack power by a full 27!

Boss, think about it, ordinary darts can only add a dozen or so attack powers at most. This kind of gear dart that adds twenty-seven attack powers is the first time I’ve seen it in the MapleStory world!

Moreover, this time, not only did I learn a skill that suits me, but I also saved several million Maple Leaf Coins! Boss, don’t you think I’ve struck it rich?

Ah Hao was beaming with joy and gesticulating as he told Wu Ming the whole story, his face filled with excitement and excitement that was difficult to conceal.

After hearing what Ah Hao said, Wu Ming frowned slightly and fell into deep thought.

He really couldn't understand why Dakru treated Ah Hao so differently just because he was his teammate. Not only did he give him various benefits and help, he even gave him a gear dart of unknown value but obviously the most precious one at this stage.

Wu Ming muttered in confusion, but he soon gave up on continuing to dwell on this puzzling question. After all, no matter how much he pondered, he might not be able to come up with an answer.

"How long have you been here? Why haven't you seen Dachun yet?"

At this moment, Wu Ming realized that Dachun had not appeared at the entrance of the sewer yet, so he turned around and asked Ah Hao without hesitation.

"I'm not sure about that! After I learned the skills, I've been thinking about how to use them together at the sewer entrance! Maybe Brother Dachun is too carsick and is vomiting non-stop in the Warrior Tribe right now!

But don't worry, there are still more than ten minutes until the midnight dungeon refresh, so it's okay to wait a little. Otherwise, we will all be mentally exhausted if we rush to refresh the abandoned dungeon!"

Ah Hao scratched his head and said with a grin. After that, Ah Hao showed his signature cheesy smile again.

After hearing Ah Hao's explanation, Wu Ming looked up at the time and found that he still had plenty of time, so he stopped talking. After all, based on the current situation, it was estimated that the time to clear the abandoned dungeon this time would be even faster than before!

Wu Ming responded and took a step forward. After slowly walking a distance away from the sewer entrance that was emitting a foul odor, he skillfully took out a leisure chair from his backpack, sat down on it steadily, and gently closed his eyes, starting to rest.

Wu Ming seemed calm at this moment, but in fact his heart seemed to be in turmoil, as if he was silently thinking about something important.

Ah Hao, who was standing by, noticed the boss's condition and kept quiet without saying a word. Instead, he took out a lounge chair from his backpack and lay down on it comfortably to rest.
