Chapter 1162: A Shock to His Little Disciple.

“Hunting monsters is so fun!” Cold Chill cried out happily as she waved around her new level 15 gold grade staff. This staff was prepared for her by the guild with high damage and two powerful special effects. This was a weapon that could be sold for tens of thousands in real life money.

“Really. Show me your improvement,” Lu Li said. He had pulled some monsters along the way and pointed at an elite monster.

“Easy. Watch me,” Cold Chill said confidently.

She had killed hundreds and thousands of these monsters today and none of them had managed to even reach her before they died.

The few players who levelled with her shook their heads in silence. They had already started feeling sorry for her. These players all did fairly well in other games, and even after Dawn was released, they still wanted to stay in their old games. Unfortunately, these old games went downhill and their value plummeted. In the end, they had no choice but to change to Dawn. Fortunately for them, they had friends who were doing well in Ruling Sword and were recommended into the guild. Square Root 3 had assessed them personally before they were accepted.

Of course, it was easier for them to level up together than on their own, but Cold Chill was a mission given to them from the guild. She was also a very nice girl, so they had no reason to turn her down.

They were in charge of luring monsters and controlling monsters. All Cold Chill had to do was to cast some damaging spells at them. With her whole set of exquisite equipment, her damage was actually quite decent.

On Lu Li’s end, Cold Chill tossed a Fireball at that elite monsters like usual.

Originally, the elite monster was lured by another Mage, but because the other Mage hadn’t dealt any damage, the aggression was very stable. Now that the elite monster was attacked, it immediately rushed over towards Cold Chill.

This was a level 18 wolf-type monster, called a Hecklefang Stalker. These monsters had cruel fangs and came in packs. They were known for their speed and were common around the Plaguelands. They were natural predators; even Lions didn’t want to fight them.

The damage of the Fireball was impressive; it took out 70 points of the monster’s HP, but this was nothing in comparison to its 800 points of health.

Cold Chill started to conjure up another Fireball. Because Frostbolt had a longer cast time than Fireball, she was used to casting this spell. When it came to AoE attacks, she would constantly use Blizzard. As for Flamestrike, she used it the least, because it was rare for monsters to even get within 8 yards of her.

However, this time it was different.

To her horror, Cold Chill discovered that the Hecklefang Stalker got closer to her than it usually did.

She remembered the teachings from her Mage team members and tried to take some steps back to regain distance. However, by the time the third Fireball landed on the monster, she couldn’t avoid it pouncing on her.

After the monsters got close, she recalled having being taught about what to do, but she couldn’t remember the details.

Lu Li lifted his hands and took out the monster with one shot. If Cold Chill took another hit, she would probably be dead.

“What now? What do you think?”

“This is an elite monster; we need five people to kill it. You can’t kill it alone.”

Cold Chill wasn’t stupid either; she quickly found an excuse for herself.

Lu Li stared at her for a while and called over a Mage. He didn’t call any names; he simply called for any of them to come.

“Boss, what can I do for you?” a Mage with hair dyed white came over and asked. Hairdressers were everywhere in Azeroth and it only costed 20 silver coins to change your hairstyle. Another 40 silver coins allowed a player to change their hair colour. If they were to make any more changes after this, the price would be double each time.

“Take down an elite and show her how it’s done,” Lu Li said.

The Mage with white hair smiled shyly at Cold Chill then turned to toss a Frostbolt at the Hecklefang Stalker.

Then, it became a show of skill combinations and positioning. This Mage, who was similar in terms of level with Cold Chill, demonstrated his skill at taking down monsters. He didn’t lose a single bit of health in the entire process.

Cold Chill watched in shock and was left stunned for a moment before she jumped up again to hunt for another monster.

The results weren’t any better this time. Lu Li still had to save her life and of course she wasn’t satisfied. She couldn’t take the monster to below half health, even though she was very calm this time.

“What’s going on? What’s going on?”

Cold Chill’s worldview was almost entirely destroyed; her confidence had been totally shattered.

“I’m telling you, you’re not as good as you think.”

Even if he didn’t want to force his stupid disciple into the path of Alchemy, Lu Li was still obligated to tell her the truth. Or else she would always be living in a lie, believing that she was a strong player.

“…” Cold Chill was speechless.

“PVE actually doesn’t earn you much money. How often do you see players get rich from PVE?” Lu Li asked.

Lu Li wasn’t trying to tell her any lies. Although he and the others received a lot of exquisite equipment, that was because they had obtained too many First Clears. In normal levelling and dungeon quests, it was hard for players to store up many gold coins. Lu Li’s previous life was a great example of this. He was talented in gaming and was more persistent than anyone else, but because he entered the game too late and didn’t have a good guild to back him up, he could only earn just enough money to keep both him and his sister alive. He couldn’t even pay up the treatment fees for his sister.

“How about, I’ll try PVP and be a competitor?”

Beginners knew no fear; she was a good example of this.

“Uhm, do you want to try the arena first?”

Lu Li didn’t want to be too straightforward about it, but he knew that she wasn’t talented enough. Even if she reincarnated like he did, there was no way she would be able to become a professional competitor. However, it was best to let her discover this herself.

Cold Chill paused her levelling and headed back to the main city with Lu Li.

She entered the arena from the main city and Lu Li guided her to picking a level 15, one-on-one match. Because this was her first time, she entered into the lowest rankings.

After 30 seconds, Cold Chill came out.

“Mean, too mean! That Thief didn’t even greet me. I even said hi to him, but he ignored me and killed me in an instant. It was a sneak attack!” she cried.

“You have his name on the record. You can choose to challenge him again.”

Lu Li was left speechless, he was so tempted to kill this disciple himself.

Cold Chill thought for a bit and decided to challenge the player that had killer her one more time. It didn’t take long before the other player agreed to battle her again.

The arena these days was much friendlier than it was before. It was common for players to ask for another round of battle if they weren’t satisfied with losing. However, what confused the Thief player was that he didn’t understand where the courage of this little weakling came from.

Was she a Masochist?
