Online Game: My Healing Becomes a Permanent Buff - Chapter 3

Chapter 3: Silver-grade Buff『Frost Breaker』

+22！

“Ding! Congratulations on obtaining 1 layer of『Increased Strength』buff.”

“Why is it still this buff…”

Su Ming was speechless.

Nevertheless, the strength buff was definitely the best option when he doesn’t have an attack skill since normal attacks alone can do quite a bit of damage.

A healing spell that lasts 3 seconds consumed 10 MP.

Su Ming had used 28 healing spells in succession. Poor him could only stare as his mana pool dried up.

Afterall, he was too poor to even be able to afford a mana potion.

This was the most painful.

At the end, every matter revolved around “money”.

Shaking his head, Su Ming pondered on where he could get that mana potion for free.

“Mana recovery…. right!” His eyes lit up.

“How could I forget that good old place—The Church of Light!”

With a pat on the head, Su Ming smiled enigmatically.

The Church of Light had the Fountain of Radiance in their possession, and by being within the range of the fountain, one’s mana recovery rate would skyrocket.

Most importantly, players could enjoy the Priest’s [Divine Light], a higher grade healing spell, once a day for free, recovering their HP and MP, as well as dispelling debuffs on them.

The Priest was a silver-ranked level 20 NPC whose healing skills could restore thousands of HP per healing.

This was the perfect opportunity for him to enjoy high quality buffs!

Thinking of this, Su Ming walked towards the Church of Light unhesitantly.

5 minutes later…

He arrived at his destination.

By this time, Su Ming had already casted 28 layers of healing spells on himself.

『Increased Strength Lv20』 and『Increased Agility Lv8』.

『Increased Agility』

Grade: Ordinary

Level: 8/100

Effect: Increases the player’s agility by 8 points. Lasts forever. Cannot be removed.

Thanks to the two buffs, Su Ming’s attributes increased by a lot.

Strength: 30

Agility: 18

His strength attribute was probably higher than 99% of professional players.

Su Ming walked straight into the Church hall.

“Adventurers! Welcome to the Church.” A gentle voice entered his ears…

…When Su Ming turned around, he saw a beautiful blonde girl in a white robe. Her beautiful pair of turquoise blue eyes that were as pure as water were staring at him.

『Priestess Eloise Lv20』

It was her…

Su Ming’s heart shook when he saw the name above the priestess’ head.

This name was too familiar to him.

In his past life, there was a large-scale regional quest. She was offered up as a sacrifice to the enemy’s Dark Dragon God. Consequently, a dark evil dragon was summoned from her offering, and the evil being almost exterminated the entire Aaron town.

It was regrettable that such a beautiful person would end up losing her fragrance*.

But putting his regrets aside, Su Ming was very clear on his purpose.

He immediately said, “Hello, Priestess Eloise. I would like you to bless me with the [Divine Light].”
Upon hearing his request, surprise flashed in Eloise’s eyes.

She kindly reminded him, “Adventurers can only receive the [Divine Light] once a day, are you sure you want to use it now? I see that you are still in perfect health.”

“Yes!” Su Ming replied with great certainty.

Eloise nodded. She took out her staff and chanted an incantation.

A streak of radiance emerged before it engulfed Su Ming.

+6520!

+4200!

Two recovery numbers popped up, each representing the amount of healing his HP and MP had received respectively.

Under his expectant gaze, his character status bar updated with a system prompt.

“Ding! Congratulations, you have obtained the buff『Frost Breaker Lv1』.”

『Frost Breaker』

Grade: Silver

Level: 1/20

Effects:

– Gains 1 layer of Frost Armor that absorbs 500 points of damage for you.

– When the shield shatters, an explosion will happen, dealing 1000 damage to an area of 3 meters.

– Reduces the enemies’ attack and movement speed by 20% for 3 seconds.

– Has a cooldown of 3 seconds.

– Lasts forever and cannot be removed.

“This buff would be good for aggroing monsters; I can aggro a dozen of monsters at once and then strike them all.”

After witnessing the effect of『Frost Breaker』, Su Ming had already simulated its use in his mind.

To aggro as many monsters as possible!

If the skill could reach Lv20… the damage would be huge.

“Thank you for your help.”

After bidding farewell to Priestess Eloise, Su Ming arrived outside the plaza around the Fountain of Radiance.

Since players were still curiously exploring Aaron Town, Su Ming was in no hurry to buff himself.

After being blessed by the Fountain of Radiance, he could now use a healing spell for the entire 15 seconds.

+22！

+22！

……

His character status bar constantly flickered with alerts. Now, he had two new buff icons, ‘Health Enhancement’ and ‘Mana Enhancement’.

Seeing his own attributes rising, a smile appeared on Su Ming’s face.

He didn’t notice that his actions were being observed by an aristocratic old man in front of the church.

Each time Su Ming casted the healing spell, the smile on his face grew wider.

The old man could tell that his smile was heartfelt.

“The more faithful you are to the Holy Light, the greater the rewards it would bestow upon you.”

“Devout believer, may God bless you!”

In the eyes of the elderly man, Su Ming’s actions were seen as a way of receiving the baptism of the Holy Light: to purify his heart, and to show his devotion to the Holy Light.

He nodded happily and entered the church.

“Ding!”

“Bishop Halman’s favorability towards you has increased by 30 points.

Note: When you reach over 80 favorability points with an NPC, a special event will be initiated.”

What???

The sudden system prompt confused Su Ming.

Who the hell was this Bishop Halman?

How did he suddenly gain the Bishop’s favorability?

But NPCs’ favorability was a good thing. The higher the value, the higher the chance to receive an NPC’s gifts and hidden quests. You could even turn an NPC into your follower once their favorability towards you reaches 100.

If he knew the reason for the increase in the NPC’s goodwill, he would be laughing in his dreams now.

His stats received an increase due to the healing spell, how could his smile be insincere?

As he looked around, he found no sign of the bishop.

Su Ming shook his head and continued casting the healing spell on himself.
