Chapter 33: Clearing the Misty Forest

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

While he was farming monsters, he opened the official website and looked at the information about the Misty Forest.

[Misty Forest]

[Category: Large-scale exploration dungeon.]

[Difficulty: Normal]

[Boss: None]

[Requirements: Kill all wild monsters.]

[Rewards: 1,000 gold coins, Tulas City reputation points X100, experience X5,000.]

[First clear reward: None]

After reading it, James Williams understood why no union in the Misty Forest was willing to clear the dungeon.

It would take a few days and nights for a normal five-man party to clear the dungeon. Those stronger unions did not need to waste manpower here. Moreover, the rewards after clearing the dungeon were pitiful, other than the 100 reputation points of Tulas City, the rest did not matter to them.

However, this seemingly useless dungeon was undoubtedly a huge treasure trove for those who knew how to make use of it.

Since he was going to farm the reputation points and favorability points of the yordle people here, he might as well take the first clear of this dungeon.

For the following day, other than eating and going to the bathroom, all James Williams did was bring Bolton and his companions to travel through the Misty Forest to farm monsters in Eternity.

Even though he farmed monsters without causing any injuries to the yordle people, James Williams would still spend more than ten hours a day farming. While he was happy, he was also in pain as he was about to vomit from farming monsters. Ever since he was reborn, he would farm monsters for more than ten hours a day. He felt that he should be the most miserable person to have been reborn.

[Ding!]

[Congratulations! Your reputation with the yordles has reached 10,000 points! The attitude of the yordles towards you has become friendly.]

At the end of the first day, James Williams also received a notification from the system.

After repetitively killing monsters for a whole day, he finally managed to improve the attitude of the yordle people towards him to being friendly. In his impression of his previous life, only after half a year since the opening of the server did the players in the New York region manage to achieve friendliness from the yordle people. Now, he was half a year ahead of the progress of the server.

“Friend of the yordle people, I don’t think there is any other adventurer in this world who is friendlier to us than you,” said Bolton with a sincere face after he came before James Williams.

The way he addressed James Williams had also changed from “warrior” to “friend of the yordle people.”

“Hahaha, yes, I really like the yordle people,” James Williams said without conscience. In fact, the yordle people were short and fat, and they also had long beards. He really did not like them.

“Then, friend of the yordle people, please sincerely accept our blessings.”

The NPC, Bolton, pinched a few times in the air, and a bright dot of light appeared in his hand. He put it on James Williams’ forehead and the dot disappeared with a whoosh.

[Ding!]

[You have received NPC Bolton’s blessing, buff: Yordle’s Blessing.]

[ Yordle’s Blessing ] 

[Level: 1]

[Effect: You have received the sincere blessing of your friend, the yordle people. You have received Beginner’s Luck. (stackable)]

Very few other races could receive the Yordle’s Blessing. Now, with their reputation and favorability, James Williams had received a Beginner’s Luck buff, which could be stacked.

James Williams looked at his skill bar. There was a yordle’s face on it.

He had received Beginner’s Luck because of the rewards from the union. Now, with the Beginner’s Luck that he had received from the yordles, it became Intermediate Luck.

Luck was related to many things. Hidden missions, mission rewards, critical hits, dodging, and so on.

From this point of view, it was indeed useful to gain the favor of a yordle NPC.

Then, a wave of drowsiness hit his eyelids. James Williams was ready to log off and rest. After a day of “hard work”, he was exhausted.

Before going offline, James Williams also looked at the map. In a day, he had explored about one-fifth of the Misty Forest. It seemed that he would be able to clear the Misty Forest dungeon in four days.

After he logged off.

James Williams was physically and mentally exhausted. The game had just started and had not integrated with reality yet. He was not used to the need to eat or sleep, which made him very uncomfortable. He hurriedly ate something to fill his stomach and fell asleep.

The next morning, sunlight passed through James Williams’ windowsill, and he stepped into the Misty Forest once again.

After entering the Misty Forest, he sighed and began a new day of killing monsters.

The second day…

The third day…

The fourth day…

In these few days, the Dark Swamp dungeon was successively cleared by the American Antonio Union, the French Regional Union, the British Elizabeth Union, and then the Rose Union, and the Wolf Union had also cleared the dungeon. The main players of Eternity also began making preparations to head to the various level 2 main cities.

The first page of Eternity was filled with all sorts of news overnight.

[How to go to Tulas City?]

[Moonlight City’s wizard gathering place.]

[Details about the NPCs in Tulas City.]

[How should new players pass through the Misty Forest?]

[How to leave Adrian Town?] 

[Tulas City, the nightmare of all new players!]

In the New York region of the game forum, there was a lot of information about the level 2 main cities, and many people were discussing it.

Moonlight City for wizards who wanted to change classes, the warrior headquarters of the Blood Moon City, an elf gathering in Saroyan City, yordles in the underground black market, and so on were all popular news.

However, among them, the one that attracted the most attention was undoubtedly Tulas City.

Firstly, it was because Tulas City was the center of the fourth Dark Age. There were many ancient battlefields, unexcavated dungeons, and ruins here. If one was lucky enough to encounter any of them, then it would be very easy to establish a foothold in Tulas City.

Secondly, it was because many top-tier unions, top-tier players, and professional players would choose this place. However, it was very difficult to reach Tulas City. In fact, 90% of the players could not clear the Misty Forest dungeon and were discussing it on the forums.

Of course, people did not know that the dungeon that gave wizard players a headache had been cleared by James Williams.

On the fourth night.

When James Williams was so tired that he was about to fall asleep, the last wild monster in the Misty Forest finally fell..
