Infant Golden Dragon

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

After Lu Yang ended the call with Lan Yu, he continued to level up speedily. He was prepared to get first place on the level rankings before the game server closed the next morning.

This was not an ordinary first place. It was the first place among tens of millions of players who started at the same time. In the future, it would be recorded by the officials.

In his previous life, Lu Yang had been unknown in the early stages of the game. Even though he later had the ability to establish a guild, the experts in the game had basically all joined the large guilds.

Since he had been reborn in this life, Lu Yang decided to make a name for himself from the start. Even if he did not create a guild in the early stages, he could still form a 20-man elite team. It was convenient to enter dungeons or level up in the wild.

Lu Yang was not worried about the problem of getting too much-unwanted attention. The game was close to reality. The players neither had a health bar nor a name on their head. If they did not add each other as friends, they would not know who the person in front of them was. Even if someone was unhappy that he had become the number one on the level rankings, no one would be able to find him in the sea of people of over ten million players.

When he thought about how he would surpass the bosses of the major guilds and all kinds of crazy people to become the first on the level rankings on the first day of the game, Lu Yang felt good just thinking about it. After watching his mana recover to full, he continued leveling up.

Lu Yang had killed all the bison in the valley. Looking at the ground in the valley where there was nothing but the bison's corpses, Lu Yang was a little depressed.

After killing hundreds of bison in a row, he did not even get any equipment. Lu Yang could not help but sigh. The drop rate of Second World was really too low.

Fortunately, everything in Second World was close to the real world. Players could skin the bison and sell them to NPCs in the beginner village. Otherwise, ordinary players would not be able to play this game.

After eating a piece of crispy electric eel meat to replenish his mana, Lu Yang used the rope to come to the concave valley and began to skin the bison carcasses in the valley.

A cowhide cost 3 copper coins. Although it was not much, it was still meat no matter how small it was.

Just as Lu Yang was skinning and looking around to see if any wild monsters were respawning, a golden figure suddenly walked past the entrance of the valley. In an instant, Lu Yang's entire body trembled, and his eyes turned red from excitement.

"Infant Golden Dragon."

10,000 people would have 10,000 opinions about which boss was the most powerful or the hardest to defeat in Second World. However, no one would have any objections when it came to the boss that killed the most people in Second World.

As a level 5 boss in the wilderness of the beginner's village, the Infant Golden Dragon was short, about the size of a dog. Its entire body was golden, and its wings were tender. Its dragon head did not look fierce at all. Instead, it looked a little cute. However, this little thing made all the players love and hate it.

Players loved it because they really knew how to drop good things. It even dropped the best level 5 equipment in the beginner village. The hate came from the little creature's high attack, fast speed, high defense, and high HP. Many people thought that seeing this boss was good luck, but in reality, this was only the beginning of bad luck.

The players who had just left the beginner's village only had a beginner's sword and a set of beginner's clothes. In Second World, the drop rate of equipment was very low. Even if they reached level 5, there would not be much change in their equipment. When they encountered the Infant Golden Dragon, even if it was a paladin-type profession with high HP, they only needed three hits to die. The other professions only needed two hits, and the fragile mages only needed one hit.

It was useless even if there were a lot of people. In history, there was once a case where an Infant Golden Dragon killed more than 100 players and left in a carefree manner. Without skilled coordination, a sufficient number of players, and good equipment, there was no way to defeat it.

However, the Infant Golden Dragon also had its shortcomings and only knew how to attack at close range. If it was on flat ground, Lu Yang would only hide as far away as possible when he saw the Infant Golden Dragon. However, Lu Yang was currently at the bug point. As long as he lured the Infant Golden Dragon into the valley, wouldn't he be able to use the terrain bug to kill it? Thinking of the top-notch equipment that it had once dropped, Lu Yang felt that he was going to make a fortune this time.

He threw away the half-peeled cowhide in his hand and turned around. Lu Yang climbed up the mountain along the rope and ran towards the top of the left side of the concave at the mountain top.

When Lu Yang reached the place, the Infant Golden Dragon happened to pass by the bottom of the cliff. Seeing that the Infant Golden Dragon was about to walk out of his attack range, Lu Yang immediately cast a Fireball.

Three seconds later, just as the Infant Golden Dragon was about to walk out of Lu Yang's attack range, the Fireball hit the Infant Golden Dragon accurately.

-35.

Roar!

When the Infant Golden Dragon was attacked, it turned around and rushed toward Lu Yang. Just as it was about to reach the bottom of the cliff, the Infant Golden Dragon suddenly spread its wings and leaped high into the air. When it was only two meters away from Lu Yang, the Infant Golden Dragon landed.

The Infant Golden Dragon climbed onto the rocks on the cliff with both its legs. Unfortunately, the steep cliff could not provide a support point for the Infant Golden Dragon to stand. After scratching the cliff a few times, the Infant Golden Dragon fell to the ground.

If the Infant Golden Dragon could land a hit on Lu Yang, it would be able to kill him instantly. Unfortunately, due to the distance of two meters, the Infant Golden Dragon could not reach Lu Yang at all.

Looking at the anxious look on the Infant Golden Dragon's face as it kept jumping at the bottom of the cliff but could not fly up at all, Lu Yang revealed a relieved expression. The attack from the Infant Golden Dragon just now had given him a fright.

He lured the Infant Golden Dragon into the valley. There were too many monsters outside. Lu Yang was worried that even if he killed the Infant Golden Dragon, he would not be able to get the equipment for a while.

In his previous life, Lu Yang had never killed the Infant Golden Dragon. This was because such a boss had always been a treasure that the various large guilds fought to kill. From the beginning to the end, every time the Infant Golden Dragon respawned, the various large guilds would start a war.

Lu Yang did not expect that he would be able to gain an advantage in this life. After luring the Infant Golden Dragon to the valley, Lu Yang used Fireball on the Infant Golden Dragon again.

In the settings of Second World, every time a character leveled up, the system would give them 5 free points. Lu Yang had added points to Intelligence for the previous levels. This way, including the 1 point of attributes that would automatically increase with every level, Lu Yang's Intelligence had reached 16 points. In addition to the 10 points of Intelligence given by the Demon God's Heart and the 5 points of Intelligence gained from the crispy electric eel, that was 31 points.

The benefit of having so much Intelligence was that Lu Yang's mana had increased to 310 points, and his magic damage had also reached 31 points.

Facing the Infant Golden Dragon with 10,000/10,000 HP, Lu Yang would not have dared to provoke it without so much mana and magic damage.

After fighting for more than two minutes, just as the Infant Golden Dragon's HP dropped to 7,000 points, he suddenly realized that he was out of mana.

In the game, the system NPCs did not sell instant recovery potions. Players could only make them using apothecary skills. Now that the game had just begun, no one knew how to make them. Looking at his empty blue slot, ordinary players would be depressed to death if they encountered such a situation. However, Lu Yang had a way. With the buff and 8 per 5-second mana recovery effect of the crispy electric eel, Lu Yang used two hours to grind the Infant Golden Dragon to death.

As the Infant Golden Dragon roared indignantly, it dropped a 4×4 item. Among the 16 items, Lu Yang immediately saw a shiny golden staff in the middle.

"Arsonist's Staff."
