Chapter 29: Disgusting Halo of Suffering
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Occam ignored Jeff. He was reviewing his gains.
The Demon Hunter led his people to surround Occam, and a lot of equipment was dropped after Occam killed those guild members.
He obtained two pieces of orange equipment from missions.
Mage Bell dropped a staff.
None of the equipment was what he needed. He could sell it to Alice from the Elves Guild. She would probably be interested.
Other than that, there was the piece of God-grade equipment from the Epic Guild.
Occam was prepared to listen to Jeff and extort the Epic Guild.
Although he was not short of money, this was to avenge himself.
Then, he leveled up to Level 20. He was one step closer to Level 30 where he could change his occupation and ride a mount.
At the same time, he was the first to reach Level 20 and obtained an orange cape.
“Pioneer’s Glory Cloak” (Orange)
Level: Lv 1
Constitution :+20
Health :+2000
Skill “EXP Increase”: All EXP gained will be increased by 30%.
This equipment was not bad.
The “EXP Increase” alone could fetch a sky-high price.
Moreover, he looked handsome.
Occam wore it directly.
Then, Occam looked at his characteristic panel.
There was a negative buff hanging on it.
“Halo of Suffering”
Details: All attributes reduced by 50% for 1 year.
Introduction: Skills cast by the God of Suffering
Note: This is only the smallest punishment
Upon seeing this negative buff, Occam felt helpless.
These Evil Gods were really good at disgusting people.
It had the same effect as the God-grade equipment of the Epic Guild.
It reduced all attributes by half.
However, this buff lasted a year.
If it were any other player, they would have deleted their account and started again.
After all, if their attributes were reduced by half for a year, their account was considered useless.
But Occam did not care.
Because his passive skill was not affected.
However, his Health Points had decreased by half, and the damage of the passive “Sacrifice” had decreased by quite a lot.
Just based on the passive skill “Defense Counterattack”, he was invincible.
Also, Occam could try to find the Priest and see if he could get rid of the effect.
Even if he could not get rid of it, Occam did not care.
This was because Warriors could obtain a passive skill “Immunity Control” after they reached Level 30.
It would help to make them immune to negative effects.
After the effect of “10x Points”, he could probably get rid of this disgusting buff.
Other than that, there was something special.
“Balter’s Proof”
Details: Able to get help from Balter with this.
Introduction: Only those who get a certain level of favorability from Balter will get it.
This could be considered as conquering the NPC Balter.
Occam thought so.
The status of the commander of the guards in Roland City was not low.
It might really come in handy.
Coupled with the heaven-defying God-grade equipment “God-Slaying Medal”.
In conclusion, this trip was worth it!
There were also two additional Skill Points after leveling up.
Occam directly tapped on the passive “Life Halo”.
“Life Halo” (9 / 10+): Passive skill
[Current level]
Cast Distance: None
Cooldown Time: None
Consumption: None
Skill Effect: Additional 90% Health Points
[Next Level]
Cast Distance: None
Cooldown Time: None
Consumption: None
Skill Effect: Additional 100% Health
Occam’s HP had increased quite a bit. He nodded in satisfaction.
At the side, Jeff was still cursing the Evil God, but he did not hear it.
If he had heard it, he would probably give him a “Halo of Suffering” too.
That thought crossed Occam’s mind.
Then he shook his head.
“The God of Suffering isn’t dead yet, Jeff. Be careful,” said Occam.
“It can’t be. We don’t even know where that guy is. How could he have heard us?”
Jeff said this, but he was honest enough not to curse again.
“Let’s head back to the city and deal with the equipment that we don’t need,” said Occam.
Jeff and Annie nodded.
As usual, Occam and Annie rode the spirit deer while Jeff walked alone.
Thus, the three of them rushed toward Milan Town.
…
At the same time, as Occam reached Level 20, all the players were shocked.
Because it had only been two days since the server opened.
Most players were only around Level 10, even the high-level players in the guild.
They stayed up all night to level up and look for bosses and missions to gain EXP.
Yet, they were only around Level 15.
Meanwhile, Occam reached Level 20.
How could they not be shocked?
“Guru Linley is too crazy. Did he fly up using a rocket?”
“Heavens, I seriously suspect that Linley is cheating, but I have no proof.”
“Guru Linley, I’m a girl. Can you help me upgrade? I can agree to any of your requests.”
“The comment above is undoubtedly from a man!”
…
The players on the forums were all discussing Linley.
There were all kinds of posts.
“Shocking! The reason Linley upgraded so quickly was because he did these things!”
“Exposing Linley’s secret until now.”
“Linley is so powerful, but his true identity is like this.”
…
Apart from a small portion of rational discussions, most of them were nonsense.
At this moment, another post appeared.
“The upper echelons of the Epic Guild look over.”
Although they were calling out the Epic Guild, many players clicked on it.
“Ahem, this equipment belongs to your guild, right?”
“If you want it, prepare 1,000 gold coins to buy it back.”
There was a screenshot of the equipment.
After reading the content of the post, many players were stunned.
“Gosh, isn’t this the God-grade equipment from the Epic Guild?”
“Who is this guy? He actually dropped this equipment. Amazing!”
“Is this a public extortion of the Epic Guild? I don’t know why, but I feel very excited.”
“^ You’re not alone. I think so too.”
“The Epic Guild offended people everywhere. Serves them right!”
…
The players discussed, and the upper echelons of the Epic Guild naturally learned of this news.
In a villa in real life, the three leaders of the Epic Guild gathered together.
“I still can’t contact this useless Demon Hunter,” said one of them.
“I will get to that bastard later.”
“The most important thing now is to figure out how to deal with the situation,” said another.
“Do we really have to do what that person on the forum told us to? Give him 1,000 gold coins?” asked the last person.
“Impossible!”
The other two immediately refused.
“Then we’ll just snatch it back?”
Someone suggested.
All three agreed.
…
It was Jeff.
At this moment, he was browsing the Game Forum.
“Guru Linley, everyone on the Game Forum is saying that you are the son of the game company’s boss.”
“For the sake of your gaming experience, he gave you a hack.”
“That’s why you leveled up so quickly.”
Occam looked at Jeff expressionlessly.
“Do you think I look like one?”
Jeff really looked him up and down.
Then he nodded affirmatively.
“Yes!”
Occam turned his head helplessly, not wanting to talk to Jeff.
Annie covered her mouth and chuckled.
Soon, the three of them returned to the central plaza of Milan Town.
Occam was about to send a message to Alice when he saw her.
“Hey, Great God Linley, are you selling equipment this time?”
Behind Alice were more than ten female players, who also seemed to have just returned from outside.
“Well, I was just about to send you a message when I saw you.”
“Here, take a look at these pieces of equipment.”
As he spoke, Occam shared his equipment attributes with her.
Alice gave it a cursory glance and found that there were probably dozens of equipment.
Even though not all were orange equipment, their attributes were pretty good.
It was enough for their guild to increase their strength.
Alice’s beautiful eyes lit up.
“I want all of them. 100 gold coins.”
The price was about the same as the market price, perhaps even higher.
Occam turned the equipment over.
Alice also directly transferred 100 gold coins.
It had to be said that she was indeed charismatic.
No wonder they were from a famous guild in the gaming world.
