Shadow Rogue

Vol 1 Chapt 22 Hidden Quest: Lost Mine

"..."

After looking through the skill description, Rui was at loss for words. The skill was too overpowered. With Rui's stats, if he threw the Wolf Fang Dagger, he could definitely kill anything he wanted to kill. There's nothing that could block or withstand it. With his knowledge, with Dexterity and Luck, that fixed value of 50% critical rate could actually turn into 80%, 90% or even 100%. When a critical hit lands, it would have about 400% damage plus twice the dagger's attack damage. How the hell could anyone or anything survive it?

'Woah! As expected a gold-ranked skill book! It's effects are absolutely overpowered!'

"Hero Sly Hand, seeing that you can deal with a Wolf King, your strength and potential are definite. I have a problem and I wonder, could help our village solve it?"

Rui, who was immersed with his newly acquired overpowered Dimly Blue Dagger and skill 'Last Stand,' snapped back to his senses when the elder called out to him.

"Village Elder, if you have any problems, just say it. I will definitely help you solve it."

After reaping benefits, he knew the old man was actually a gold mine, so Rui did not hesitate and bumped his fists to his chest.

"Our village was not this poor and torn-down. In the early days, we found some ore veins in the mountains. After the development, the place turned into a mine. We were able to obtain iron, copper, and black iron ores from that mine. Relying on these ores, even though we were not very rich, we were wealthy enough.

A few years back, some demons appeared there. Not only could we not dig for ores anymore, some of our workers lost their lives there. A wandering Priest came to our village, and told us the reason why demons haunted that area. However, because his skills were insufficient, he could not exterminate them.

Nevertheless, he helped us seal the mine, and the seal prevented the demons from coming out. After so long, the seal had begun to weaken. The seal will definitely break very soon, and the demons would probably be released and they would attempt to harm our village.

Since you were able to kill the Wolf King, I believe you have the capability to help us solve this problem. However, I must warn you. The demons inside are extremely strong. You better think it through before accepting my request!"

Ding!

Congratulations on triggering the Novice Village's Hidden Quest - Lost Mine!

Would you like to accept the quest?"

'A hidden quest?'

Rui was already grinning from ear to ear! There's hardly a chance of him not accepting a hidden quest!

"Don't worry, Village Elder. I will definitely exterminate all the demons inside." Rui sincerely vowed.

"Then, I will depend on you... Right, before you go, you should visit Old Man Zhang's pharmacy and obtain some potions. He will definitely make sure you're well prepared for this."

The Village Elder's words almost made Rui cry. This old man is a good man, a very good man!

"Do you have 50 Slime Coating on you?" When Rui was about to head for the pharmacy, the Village Elder suddenly asked.

When he opened his inventory, there were 57 Slime Coatings. Rui nodded.

"Great! Those pesky slimes ate all of our crops. I will use their coatings to make some medicine. I have with me a gauntlet made with their coatings, and I will trade it for 50 Slime Coatings, how about it?"

How about it?

Obviously, it was a yes! There was barely a use for Slime Coatings. He could not earn much from selling them either.
