MMORPG: Divine Mech Hunter

“I feel so weak, is this the same Hydra from before?” the Guardian Angel sarcastically commented.

“Hey, sleazy uncle, can’t you see its attributes? You call this weak?” Daimeng Tonton retorted.

Sister Li commented: “This pet is pretty powerful, no? It’s like we’ve got two lives, with eighteen thousand worth of blood?”

Li Yao nodded and said: “The best part about this pet is that as long as one head is alive, the others won’t die.”

“Wow, this is too twisted. If it ends up having nine heads later, it would be invincible.” Da Vinci paused before continuing, “So, can you train it to have up to nine heads?”

“Yes.” Li Yao answered, “Did you notice the bulge on its shoulder? This is a sign that it’s about to grow another head. When it reaches level twenty and meets certain conditions, if you sacrifice a few objects, it will grow another.”

“That’s not correct, didn’t ordinary Hydras have three heads at a lower level?” Qin Feng Yi responded with a frown.

Li Yao explained: “That’s just an ordinary Hydra with average potential. Such creatures usually have three heads. But in reality, out of three heads only one has magical abilities, the other two are quite weak. However, the stronger variants, especially pets of a godlike level, have only one head when they’re born. When it reaches level ten, which is the first stage, they grow a second head. The third head comes at the second stage, and so forth. What’s even more magical is that with each additional head, their tier increases.”

“Ah, I see. No wonder it’s a mid-tier boss. So, your Fire Hawk is a low-tier boss?” Qin Feng Yi responded.

“Yes, the attributes of low and mid-tier bosses differ quite a lot. But right now, I don’t have any choice. Once I have enough iron ore, I can evolve the Fire Hawk once again.” Li Yao remarked, “Just this Hydra alone has hugely increased my combat abilities. Plus, the Hydra is effective both on land and in water.”

“You’re still trying to get the Fire Hawk, aren’t you? Now that you have a divine pet, why bother with the rest?” Da Vinci remarked enviously.

Li Yao replied: “A Hunter can never have too many pets, and your way of thinking is incorrect. Each pet has its own unique role. In real battle, the Fire Hawk may not necessarily be weaker than the Hydra. It has a significant advantage in the sky and it can help me scout – that’s something the Hydra cannot do. The Death God 4000 is a powerful weapon, but right now I don’t have the appropriate materials for it. However, now that I can ride it, it’s a 20,000 shield to me. Even when the materials are there, even though it won’t have as much life as the Hydra, it will still be irreplaceable. My Crystal Spider may be weak, but it has good control. Moreover, during combat in the jungle, it truly is a king. So, I hope to have thousands and thousands of pets.”

“I was just saying… And you went on this long rant…” Da Vinci was at a loss for words.

“He’s trying to teach you how to understand the game. Don’t you remember how you complained about this skill not being good and that skill being useless the other night? He’s telling you all this to show that no skill is useless, it simply depends on whether you can use it in the right situations.” Sister Li explained patiently.

“So that’s what it is, why didn’t you just explain that in the first place?” Da Vinci sulked.

“Young lady, I think your brain needs supplementing.” said the Guardian Angel mockingly.

“Let me see if we can find some loot or something.” Li Yao turned to the Hydra and asked, “Did you collect anything?”

Before the Ice Serpent could answer, the Dark Serpent hastily replied, “Master, you are truly unparalleled in your wisdom. When I was brought here, our leader was small and weak. When I evolved my seventh head, he kept nagging and wouldn’t leave me be, so I straight up ate him. He actually did have some items, they’re just over there.”

The Hydra obviously went off to find the loot, prompting Li Yao to shake his head in disbelief.

In the past, he and those who owned Hydras often battled fiercely. However, he became impossibly familiar with the Hydra. They were impressively terrifying.

Despite always emerging victorious, it was because his opponents were too weak. He always managed to seize the opportunity to kill them before the Hydra could do the same. But this did not mean the Hydra was weak.

Crack, crack, crack…

The Hydra brought a chest and placed it before Li Yao, the Ice Serpent buried its head in embarrassment. It really felt humiliated but didn’t know what to do about the Dark Serpent’s personality.

“Master, see if there’s anything useful to you.” the Hydra offered.

“Big Brother, quickly share the attributes.” Daimeng Tonton excitedly said.

“Perfect, this is just what I needed.” Li Yao picked up an equipment piece.

“Wow, it’s mine, it’s mine, I’m crying, finally a zither.” Da Vinci excitedly remarked.

“Humph, Big Brother, you’re so biased. Why didn’t you find something I can use? I even found you an epic equipment, but you can’t get me one.” Daimeng Tonton complained instantly.

“Haha, the next one is certainly yours.” Li Yao heartily laughed as he took out a shinning single-handed hammer.

Lightning Hammer

Intelligence: 28

Spirit: 27

Stamina: 26

Increases all lightning spell effects by 20%

“Hahaha, as expected it’s a level fifteen epic weapon for my use.” Daimeng Tonton was so pleased she was ready to jump for joy.

“That’s true; my word is as good as gold.” Li Yao replied. This truly was an epic weapon for an Elemental Shaman, the Lightning Chain gaining a level in the current situation where skills couldn’t upgrade would have a significant effect. It would make Daimeng Tonton’s Lightning Chain a major weapon. And there was also a 20% damage increase.

“By the way, help me get a level fifteen epic weapon too?” Guardian Angel suggested.

“No can do, two epic weapons are already a lot. The rest are blueprints and things like that.” Li Yao replied while opening his palm.

“So it’s blueprints, you’re really stingy.” Guardian Angel was speechless.

“It’s not being stingy. One is a blueprint for an intermediate mana potion, one is a blueprint for creating blue leather armor that has a chance to flash and become an epic armor. Then there’s one, a blueprint for building the Moon God Temple, which could bring some benefits to our guild. However, I am a High Elf. If I openly build a Moon God Temple, it would definitely not go down well with the High Elves. This is troublesome.” Li Yao lamented.

The Moon God is the only True God in the Ancient God World, and the benefits of believing in her are plentiful. Moreover, the blueprint for the Moon God Temple isn’t easily obtainable, it’s very valuable, without the blueprint you don’t get the blessings of the Moon God. However, the High Elves have given up on the Moon God and turned to worship the Sun instead. But in the Ancient God World, it appears that there is no Sun God.

“Whatever, I’m going home. I need to rest. Tomorrow I’ll have some fun with the three major guilds, it’s about time we settle our scores.” …
