I immediately used the skill Dream Walk and set up a teleportation point on the first floor of the Black Stone Tower, where I camped out. Wherever I was, as long as I used the sleepwalking skill, I could teleport back there.
For the next three days, I stayed on the first floor of the Black Stone Tower, except for going back to Tianlong City to buy health potions, I kept going back and forth, fighting the skeleton soldiers and the boss skeleton captain.
The skeleton captain was the most common mini-boss, and respawned every two hours.
In "King of Glory," bosses respawn at different times depending on their abilities and characteristics. Lower-level bosses respawn every few hours, silver-level bosses respawn every other day, gold-level bosses respawn every other week, and more powerful bosses respawn every other month. Additionally, there are some unique bosses that do not respawn after they have been defeated by players.
Of course, the longer the respawn time, the stronger the boss's abilities, and the easier it is to obtain good equipment.
"Ding Dong, congratulations to the player from Stone City for reaching level 20, increasing their health by 10, mana by 10, luck by 1, and receiving 5 attribute points to distribute."
After spending three days, I finally reached level 20, and couldn't help but sigh: equipment is hard to obtain, gold coins are rare, and leveling up is difficult.
Equipment is hard to obtain. In three days, I fought back and forth among groups of skeleton soldiers, and although I defeated many white equipment items at levels 15 and 20, at least 50 or more, I only defeated 23 blue equipment items at level 15, and only 8 blue equipment items at level 20.
Considering my high luck, which is higher than others' drop rates by an unknown amount, it's easy to imagine how difficult it is for other players in the same situation.
Thinking about this situation and the newbie village, there is a big difference, and it is estimated that obtaining higher-level equipment is even more difficult.
Gold coins are rare. In three days, I fought back and forth among groups of skeleton soldiers, and even with the Greedy Ring, which reduces the chance of obtaining gold coins by 2, I only obtained 1326 gold coins.
Leveling up is difficult. In three days, I fought back and forth among groups of skeleton soldiers, and only reached level 20, which on average means I could only level up by 2 levels per day.
Despite this, I not only felt no fatigue or frustration, but rather, I felt that I had fallen in love with "King of Glory," and had become one with it. The virtual experience provided by the game made me feel as though I was exploring something new and exciting, and brought a sense of genuine pleasure to my life.
Anyway, I have finally reached level 20, which is a bit of progress. I can now proceed to the second floor of the Black Stone Tower and uncover its mysterious face.
When I was level 18, I had already entered the second floor of the Black Stone Tower, but the zombies and black mages there were level 25 monsters, and were aggressive creatures. Even though I was strong and determined, I couldn't resist their frenzied attacks because of my low level, so I had to retreat.
But now that I have reached level 20, I will immediately return to the city to change into level 20 equipment and head to the second floor to seek revenge and right my wrongs. I wonder how many pieces of gold equipment I have at level 20.
Just as I was about to use the return scroll to return to the city, a doorbell suddenly rang, so I had to exit the game and answer the door.
"Who is it? No one said they were coming." I muttered.
"Brother, I'm back."
As soon as I opened the door, a slender figure suddenly rushed into my arms, and a pair of white-as-jade hands quickly hugged my neck. Her stunningly beautiful face, without a single flaw, was like a perfectly crafted jade, captivating me as it moved in front of my eyes.
Suddenly, a refreshing fragrance rushed into my nostrils, causing me to instinctively open my arms and embrace the delicate jade-like body, which was tightly nestled against my chest, through the slim waist that was as thin as a willow.
"Little sister, why are you back so soon?" I asked in surprise.
Other than my little witch, my little sister Lin Yuxin was the only one who could make such an intimate move with me.
"What's wrong? Are you surprised that I'm back? Don't you want me?" My little sister twisted in my arms, trying to shake my head with her jade-like hand to show her protest.
"Of course I want you." I answered my little sister, but suddenly my gaze was completely drawn away. I was no longer paying attention to her question.
At this moment, my eyes were filled with infinite tenderness, gazing foolishly at the beautiful scenery in front of me, like a lily blooming in a valley.
The beauty of the jade-like neck, the finely crafted and elegant contours, the snowy white jade neck, the smooth and fragrant shoulders, the slightly raised chest, the slender waist that could be held with one hand, the graceful figure, and the loose and soft casual wear, all formed a perfect curve.
My heart was suddenly filled with infinite longing and affection, mixed with a heartwarming feeling of happiness. I felt as if I was on fire, brimming with the taste of bliss.
"Li Tong, why did you come back so soon? Didn't we agree that I would pick you up at the airport?"
"I had nothing to do at home, so I came back early."
Li Tong, who was like a serene lily and as gentle as a spring breeze, caught my eye.
As she looked at me, who was staring at her intently, without any avoidance, unlike before, she was filled with infinite warmth and happiness. However, suddenly feeling a man stare at her so boldly and eagerly, without any avoidance, was something she had never experienced before. Even though this man was her beloved in her heart, she did not know how many times she had hoped for such a gaze, but now she couldn't help feeling shy, and lowered her jade-like face that could make all flowers shy away, causing a blush to rise on her cheeks.
Seeing Li Tong's shyness, I suddenly realized my impudence, and hurriedly came to my senses. I put down the little witch Lin Yuxin in my arms, took Li Tong's suitcase, and said, "I'll help you. Come in quickly."
"Weren't you supposed to come back when school starts? Why did you come back so many days early? Is something wrong?"
"What could be wrong? It's all because of you, big brother."
As soon as I asked, my little sister immediately stepped forward to answer.
"Blaming me? Are you mistaken? I don't think I've made any mistakes." I was both surprised and wronged.
"Of course, it's your fault. You don't know how much fun Li Tong and I had. But because of your call, Li Tong couldn't stay at home anymore, so she urged me to come back early."
"No, don't listen to my little sister. I was just bored at home, and there were some things to deal with before school started, so I came back early."
Li Tong understood our strange relationship, and hurriedly came forward to explain when she heard my little sister's answer. But I clearly saw that Li Tong didn't dare to look me in the eye, and she was a little shy, with a hint of grievance and expectation.
"I'm sorry, Li Tong." I thought silently, my heart surging with countless emotions.
Li Tong always thought of me and didn't want to add any pressure to me.
Suddenly, I felt very foolish, filled with great regret, and with even more emotion and responsibility towards Li Tong.
"Brother, do you have anything to say?"
Upon seeing me dazed and silent, my little sister urged me with impatience, looking as if she were disappointed with my reaction.
"After sitting on a three-hour flight, I'm starving. Lin Feng, what do you want to eat? I'll cook for you."
Just as I was about to speak, Li Tong beat me to it, but a hint of disappointment flashed across her warm and radiant smile, dimming its brilliance.
"Li Tong, I..."
"Lin Feng, don't overthink it. It must have been tough these days without anyone cooking for you. Today, I'll make a delicious meal for you to enjoy."
Again, Li Tong interrupted me before I could express my thoughts.
"Little sister, what do you want to eat now?"
Realizing that she had missed her chance, my little sister reported her favorite dishes, "Braised eggplant and shredded potato."
"Lin Feng, how about you? Stir-fried shredded pork with garlic sauce, tomato and egg soup, and maybe add some kung pao diced pork?"
"Okay," my love Li Tong knew my preferences all too well, and paid careful attention to them.
"Brother, go buy some groceries. Let me help you, Li Tong." My little sister didn't miss the chance to learn how to cook.
No way, I can't let my little sister into the kitchen. That was my first reaction.
"Little sister, I'll help you cook. You go buy groceries," I hastily stopped my little sister from going to the kitchen.
Speaking of my little sister, she was a quick-witted, bright, and beautiful girl. Her delicate and pretty face, with a pair of lively and clever phoenix eyes, spotless ivory complexion, delicate nose, and cherry mouth, bright eyes and white teeth made her a small beauty, who was sure to become a peerless beauty in the future.
However, I cannot praise my younger sister's culinary skills in the slightest. Her so-called "delicious food" is an absolute torture to me. It was precisely because of this that after a few attempts at cooking, I hired a housekeeper, Mrs. Zhang.
Of course, this was also due to the fact that my younger sister had never set foot in the kitchen before. When our parents were alive, she was a wealthy young lady and had never been involved in any household chores.
My mother took care of everything in the house and everything was arranged in an orderly manner, without any opportunity for my younger sister and me to intervene.
After our mother passed away, although my younger sister insisted on taking responsibility for cooking every day and learning culinary skills, I realized that once she learned how to cook, it would be me who had to taste her cooking experiments. So I suppressed my sister's idea, and besides, she was in the middle of taking her college entrance exams and had a busy academic schedule, so I didn't want her to be distracted by trivial matters.
When I had the opportunity to learn from the culinary master Li Tong, my younger sister naturally couldn't pass it up and was very enthusiastic.
