Online Game: My Healing Becomes a Permanent Buff - Chapter 7

Chapter 7 – Skill Book, New Buff:『Battle Endurance』

Su Ming disappeared into the woods…

After a long time, the players from the  Flying Feather Guild returned back to their senses.

A priest hesitantly asked, “Uh… that Lv2 player just now was a Priest, right?”

“No, he can’t be a Priest.” The warrior on the team said firmly, “His physical damage was 140, that’s not the kind of damage a priest can inflict. Didn’t you guys see that Lv3 Mage getting instantly killed?”

“Maybe it’s a high-level warrior disguised in a novice priest’s outfit since novice priests don’t have a class restriction. Maybe it’s someone from the Tian Xuan Guild,” someone speculated.

【Tian Xuan】was the number one guild in the Dragon Kingdom.

In other MMORPG games, Tian Xuan was the number one ranked guild that was very reputable in the gaming world.

“Qing Yan’s staff is still with him, should we follow him?”

Hearing this, the atmosphere became quiet.

A moment later, the priest suggested, “I think it’s better to forget about it, it’s just a Black Iron staff anyway. Moreover, our team doesn’t have any class that can do long-range attacks, so do you guys think we can beat him in close combat?”

Giving some thoughts on it, the crowd felt that he was right.

A physical attack of 140… That was four or five times higher than theirs!

Even their companions with the highest amount of HP wouldn’t be able to withstand several hits from Su Ming’s staff.

The players from the  Flying Feather Guild Guild explained the situation to their leader and decisively retreated.

They really couldn’t afford to provoke that Da Lao*!

[TLN: *a person having great power/ability/wealth.]

……

On the other side, Su Ming looked at the loot in his backpack and was invigorated.

2 gold, 15 silver, 4 pieces of Black Iron equipment and 1 White chestplate.

Even after killing 30 wolves, none of them had dropped that much rare equipment.

These three players could be counted as the Children of Fortune.

With a few more waves of such attacks, maybe he could get rich.

Su Ming chuckled as he took out the staff from his inventory, an equipment he could use.

【Spirit Staff (Black Iron)】

Category: Staff

Attributes:

Magic Attack +5

Wisdom +2

Equipment requirements: Lv2 profession, 15 wisdom points

Although this staff had rather ordinary attributes, it was certainly much better than the novice staff he had.

After equipping the staff, Su Ming arrived in front of the bronze treasure chest and took out the items.

“Ding!”

“You have received: 500 gold,『Priest’s Bracelet(Bronze)』,『Elementary Light Rain Scroll』.”

“A scroll?!”

Seeing the name of the next reward, Su Ming’s eyes brightened up.

It seemed to be a healing skill.

He quickly looked at the information on the scroll.

【Elementary Light Rain】

Quality: Bronze

Effect: Upon activation, the rain of holy light will be summoned, recovering friendly units/party members 600 HP per second for 10 seconds within a radius of 10 meters.

“Restoring 600 points of HP, aye, that’s similar to the effect of a Black Iron-grade buff.”

Scrolls were disposable items, but their value was not low as they were strategic items. The major guilds would aggressively purchase scrolls from the market since they would be handy at critical times.

What’s more, that bronze treasure chest had two bronze-grade items inside it.

His luck was not considered bad.

“The old saying really is true.”

Su Ming could not help but sigh.

Gambling on stones would impoverish three generations*, and opening a box would lead to enrichment of one’s lifetime.

[TLN: *one buys a raw stone, cuts it open in hope of finding a gem or something worthy of making ‘em rich, this heavily depends on one’s luck/experience.]

In his previous life, this saying was widely circulated in <Origin>.

“Stones” were referred to the unknown skill stones that were extracted from the in-game copy of the relic while “box” meant the ”treasure chest”.

No matter how lucky one was or wasn’t, one would not suffer a loss from opening treasure chests.

He used the scroll, and suddenly, golden rain sprinkled over the woods.

+600！

+600！

……

“Ding! Congratulations on obtaining『Battle Endurance Lv10』buff.”

“……”

He had received a lv10 buff.

Su Ming discovered a pattern; as long as the healing effect caused by the same skill remains the same, the buffs obtained wouldn’t differ and would be the same. Last time, the same buff was obtained upon using the Divine Spirit skill.

He looked at the information.

『Battle Endurance』

Grade: Bronze

Level: 10/50

Effect: Every attack will restore 200 HP when the user HP is low. Lasts forever. Cannot be removed.

“Having this bronze-grade HP lifesteal buff, my survival rate has greatly increased. It’s a pity the buff can’t trigger the『Life’s Grace』talent.”

Su Ming’s eyes held a tint of regret.

Then, he looked at the information of the bracelet.

【Priest Bracelet(Bronze)】

Parts: Wrist

Attributes:

Mana +50

Physique +1

Wisdom +3

Additional Effect: Increases the healing effect by 10%

Equipment requirements: Lv1 Priest

“Nice equipment!”

Seeing the additional effect of the bracelet, Su Ming was slightly pleased.

This effect suited him too well!

The higher the effect of a single healing, the better the quality of the buffs he’d receive. After Su Ming equipped the bracelet, his MP surpassed the 1000 threshold.

He immediately casted a healing spell on himself.

+33！

“Ding! Congratulations, you have obtained『Increased Strength』buff.”

With over 500 gold in possession, once the novice quest was completed, he could return to Aaron Town to purchase a large amount of Mana potion. He only had a few bottles on him right now.

Su Ming happily stacked layers of healing buffs on himself.

Simultaneously, he had received 8 layers of buffs at the price of two skills going on a 10 seconds cooldown. He kept making use of his skills, receiving buffs while putting those skills on cooldown.

After killing some more monsters, he finally gathered all the materials he needed for the completion of the newbie quest.

“Ding!”

“Congratulations on advancing to Level 3. You’ve gained: Strength +2, Physique +2, Agility +2, Wisdom+3.”

Su Ming’s body shone with the “upgrade” light, and in the next moment, his MP restored back to full.

At this time, his『Increased Strength』buff had finally reached its maximum level at 100 while his『Physique Enhancement』buff had reached Lv90.

His current attributes had a dramatic increase compared to when he was at Lv1.
