Infinite Terror: I Have a Chat Group

Chapter 166 Teaching Combat!

"You're actually going to mentor the newbies?"

Hephaestus was somewhat surprised. He knew Lin Yu's strength; using someone with that kind of ability to mentor a newcomer seemed like a waste of talent.

"There's no other way. The Stove House has been too busy these past few days, and most of the Soma Familia members have gone to help out. I was just going to the dungeon anyway, so I thought I'd give them a handyman."

"Is that so?"

Hephaestus didn't ask any further questions. She had also gone to the opening day of the Hearth Pavilion. The dishes were very special, probably related to Lin Yu, but she wasn't interested in finding out more.

"Lord Hephaestus, please prepare a set of beginner's gear for this child."

Lin Yu pointed at Bell.

"Commander, I..."

'

"No need to say more, as the head of the clan, this is what I should do."

Lin Yu patted Bell on the shoulder.

Although Lin Yu said that, Bell was still moved to tears. In all the days he had been in Orario, he had only encountered ridicule and setbacks. There was no one as kind to him as Lin Yu.

"No problem, but you don't need to pay, consider it a gift."

Lin Yu did not refuse; it was just equipment for beginners, and compared to the forging cost of Dark Star, it was only a drop in the ocean.

"Thank you, Lord Hephaestus!"

Bell also thanked Hephaestus.

"Hmm, what type of weapon do you like?"

"Short weapons."

He always used a dagger for self-defense.

Hephaestus nodded and turned to leave.

Soon, Bell received a dagger and a slightly longer short sword, along with a set of light armor.

After obtaining the equipment, the two bid farewell to Hephaestus and headed to the dungeon.

After passing through the massive spiral staircase, the scene of the underground city finally appeared before Bell, which made him very excited because he was finally about to take the first step in his adventure.

"Don't get too emotional. The dungeon is fraught with danger, so staying calm is essential."

"Yes, Commander."

Bell calmed himself down and then followed Lin Yu onward.

After walking for a while, a monster finally spawned, and a goblin emerged from the wall.

Throughout the four levels, goblins are undoubtedly the most common monsters.

"Commander."

Upon seeing the monster appear, Bell became slightly nervous.

"Goblins are the weakest monsters in the dungeon; any adult can easily kill them, even with their bare hands."

Lin Yu's words gave Bell some courage, and he began to approach the goblin with his dagger.

Goblins aren't very intelligent, so they grabbed a stick and charged at the nearest goblin, and the two began to fight.

A dozen seconds later, the battle ended, and Bell emerged victorious, though the process was rather gruesome.

The goblin pounded at Bell with a wooden stick, while Bell stood still and retaliated with a dagger. The two fought like in a turn-based game, each hitting the other.

Because Bell was wearing protective gear, he wasn't seriously injured, and since he was wielding a sharp weapon, the goblins were no match for him.

But if Lin Yu were to evaluate this battle, he would only give Bell a zero.

They don't know how to dodge in battle, or even how to attack vital points. A battle that could be ended in a second is dragged out for more than ten seconds. Any adventurer who sees this battle would probably burst out laughing.

Of course, Lin Yu would not mock Bell, but he would certainly criticize him where criticism was warranted.

"Bell, how do you think you did just now?"

"6

""

Bell felt a little ashamed. He knew he had performed poorly. For some reason, his mind went blank during the battle, and he only knew how to attack instinctively. He forgot everything the captain had said and the information he had read before. He only came to his senses after the battle ended.

"When facing a battle, first observe your opponent, identify their strengths and weaknesses, and then choose the easiest fighting method to achieve victory with minimal cost."

Lin Yu continued to teach.

To be honest, if Lin Yu hadn't known that Bell was the main character with unlimited potential, his performance just now would have been enough to make him give up on this newcomer.

This performance alone is enough to lead some seasoned adventurers to believe that Bell is not suited to be an adventurer.

"yes!"

Bell rallied and decided to perform well from now on.

"Another one has appeared, Bell, keep going."

Another goblin spawned, and at Lin Yu's command, Bell went forward again.

This time, however, Bell didn't rush in to fight the goblin head-on; instead, he moved quickly around the goblin.

[The speed is very slow.]

After circling around several times without encountering him, Bell came to a conclusion.

Then Bell stopped, and the goblin immediately swung its club at him, which Bell parried with his short sword.

[Its strength isn't great either.]

Bale easily blocked the attack and made another judgment.

After blocking the attack, Bell quickly circled behind and plunged his weapon into the goblin's back. In the next instant, the goblin turned into black mist, leaving only a small piece of magic stone.

"Well done."

After the second battle ended, Lin Yu immediately praised him.

Compared to his first battle, Bell's second battle was absolutely perfect, showing that he's the kind of person who needs guidance.

Despite Lin Yu's praise, Bell wasn't happy. He already knew how weak goblins were, practically without any advantages, and his first battle had ended in such a disgraceful defeat!

"Don't feel ashamed. Many people weren't much better than you when they first started fighting. Everyone grows gradually. Just don't make the same mistake again."

Lin Yu comforted Bell and then continued on his way.

The two fought their way forward, all the way to the fourth floor, during which Bell performed exceptionally well.

After the second battle, Bell quickly adapted. Individual monsters could no longer pose a threat to Bell. Even if it was not a goblin, but a more troublesome monster, Bell could quickly find the monster's weakness and win easily.

Even when faced with multiple monsters, Bell only panicked slightly before quickly finding a way to deal with them.

It must be said that Bell is indeed the protagonist; he grows very quickly, and once his mistakes in battle are corrected, he almost never repeats them.

"Alright, Bell, that's all for today."

"Yes, Commander."

Bell answered, slightly out of breath.

They had been fighting for several hours. Although they had taken breaks in between, as an ordinary boy who had just received a blessing, Bell's stamina was really about to give out.

"Starting tomorrow, you'll be facing the monsters on your own. Remember, don't go into the fifth level anytime soon."

Lin Yu warned Bell.

While Bell had been able to handle the monsters on the fourth floor with ease, the fifth floor was a completely different story, and Bell would definitely not be able to cope with it in a short time.

"Understood, Commander."

"Okay, I'll take you back to the ground. Get some rest today and keep up the good work tomorrow."

"Yes, I will continue to work hard."

Although it was tough, Bell felt fulfilled because he deeply felt that he was moving towards his dream.

After sending Bell back to the surface, Lin Yu went to the underground city again.
