Chapter 86 - Teaching the Noob (1/2)

Ye Xiu led Seven Field’s group to Boneyard. Seven Fields, Sunset Clouds, Drifting Water were like Lord Grim, and were Level 21. With regards to the Level 23-26 Boneyard and its higher leveled monsters, they weren’t very confident.

Steamed Bun Invasion was Level 23. The Boneyard had monsters at the same level as him, so he was already eager to try them out.

Steamed Bun Invasion was obviously going to be coached by Ye Xiu. Although it couldn’t be said that Seven Fields and the others couldn’t improve, in such a desperate situation, only Steamed Bun Invasion could be counted on. After dispatching Seven Fields and the others to train, Ye Xiu began teaching Steamed Bun Invasion one on one.

First, he had to explain to this guy his Brawler cla.s.s.

The Brawler cla.s.s had mixed strengths. But in this Level 25 stage, it didn’t possess any AoE skills.

A Level 1 Brawler could learn the same skill as every other cla.s.s. A knock-up skill called “Uppercut”.

At Level 5, it could learn the skill “Slap”. A Slap would sharply and clearly move others. It was the only aggro-related skill before the cla.s.s change.

The Level 10 skill Knee Attack struck the target with the user’s knee. However, it could only be considered a half-grab skill because it didn’t have a knock-down effect.

Afterwards, the Level 15 skill Strangle could not be used behind the target. After locking onto the target’s throat, Strangle, like the Knee Attack, didn’t have a knock-down effect. At Level 20, after changing cla.s.ses, the Brawler could learn the skill “Brick Buster”. However, hitting the back of the head to trigger the effect was a bit difficult. The mouse movement had to be quick and accurate.

After that, there was the Level 20 skill: Sand Toss. Ye Xiu had already instructed Steamed Bun Invasion on this move.

Brawlers could learn the skill “Apply Poison” at Level 25. It would apply poison to the user’s weapon. Afterwards, attacks could poison the target. However, this poison didn’t last. It was a one time additional damage that ignored defense. Currently, the Level 23 Steamed Bun Invasion couldn’t learn it, so Ye Xiu didn’t talk about it. Steamed Bun Invasion had already learned about different methods on how to use the above skills with normal attacks from his own experience. So Ye Xiu first instructed him on the hidden effects of all of these skills.

For example, how “Slap” could hit twice.

When “Knee Attack” was used as a back attack, it could knock back the target.

When “Strangle” was used, the opponent would have his or her defense reduced by half.

None of these things were written in the skill tooltip and could be considered hidden effects. While Steamed Bun Invasion was engrossed in the game, he didn’t check any guides, so he didn’t know.

“If you don’t understand anything, why’d you pick this cla.s.s?” Ye Xiu asked him. In the end, the guy told him that he just randomly learned skills when he was still unspecialized. And later, he felt that the Brawler’s Slap, Knee Attack, and Strangle were all commonly used attacks when he fought in the streets. So he immediately felt that this cla.s.s was very moving. When he was moved to the extreme, he changed cla.s.ses in satisfaction.

This answer made Ye Xiu sweat a little, but he had already changed cla.s.ses so there was nothing he could do. After instructing him hand to hand, Steamed Bun Invasion, who already possessed high hand speed, improved at lightning speed, playing extremely well.

Ye Xiu was now only worried about one problem: with this guy’s pa.s.sion for gaming and the fact that he was already two levels higher than him, this guy won’t reach Level 26 before he gets to Level 25 right?

This problem was extremely serious. Ye Xiu felt that he had to talk about it with Steamed Bun Invasion.

“Steamed Bun? How long has it been since you last slept?” Ye Xiu asked.

“Huh? I’m not tired.” Steamed Bun Invasion was happily clearing and Slapping monsters.

“You should probably rest! I found a few guides for you. They all talk about Brawlers. You can take a look at them.” Ye Xiu said.

“Oh oh, I’ll look at them when I eat.” Steamed Bun Invasion.

“Even if you keep leveling like this, you’re not going to be able to catch up to the big guild’s players. Those all have several people playing on one account, so they level every day without resting.” Ye Xiu said.
