Crazy Bombs, Crazy EXP III
In a mere second, their experience had shot up by more than 3000 points, making the whole party wild with joy, Rui even revealed a rare smile. After picking up the few coppers of loot, they carried on forward.
After three more waves of Exploding Magic Spiders, they had gotten around 13,000 EXP, and Yezekael and the rest were closing in on level 8. Rui also filled his experience bar by 20%.
He only had a little EXP left to earn before gaining a level.
Rui sighed as he looked at the last Metal Chip Bomb in his hands, thinking, ‘Well, hopefully it will be enough’ as the sinister cave looked as it was about to reach its end.
Even though Rui thought it would end soon, he still kept up his guard. It was better to be safe then sorry, as the saying went.
Silently passing through the narrow passageway, Rui climbed up the rocks to a vantage point. As he peered from above, he was instantly covered in cold sweat because of the sight in front of him.
“What’s wrong?”
Looking at Rui’s expression, the rest of the party was momentarily stunned. Never had they ever expected Rui who usually had a cold front up to show such feelings. Yezekael couldn’t help but to ask in worry. To shock a man like Rui to such extent, what exactly was the scene in front of him?
“Shhh!” Rui put a finger on his lips, hinting the others to keep silent and started typing in the party chat: “The whole area ahead is covered with Exploding Magic Spiders. I only took a glance but I’m pretty sure there are more than 500 of them. I also spotted a few larger variants of the spiders; if they’re not bosses then they’re Elites.
Rui’s words completely astonished Yezekael and the rest. Over 500 Exploding Magic Spiders? In addition, there were some troublesome Elites and even Bosses?
GULP! Yezekael and the others stared at each other helplessly, shock evident in their eyes. Such a mob of enemies would be more than sufficient to blow them all to smithereens many times over.
“Guys, shall we go crazy for once?” Looking at Yezekael and the others, Rui’s eyes narrowed as his eyes sparkled with a hint of madness.
“Even though I have only caught a quick glance at them, I’m pretty sure these spiders are extremely close together. I still have one last Metal Chip Bomb; if we can set off a proper chain reaction, in theory we can kill off all of the spiders at once. Of course, this is only in theory. Those elites and bosses will certainly not die so easily. If we do not manage to kill them all off, and they swarm us, we will definitely be killed.”
Upon hearing Rui, Yezekael and the rest were shocked beyond words. Looking at the crazy man in front of them, they lapsed into silence.
After witnessing the destructive power of the Explosive Magic Spiders, they knew how scary those monsters were. Yet, this man dared to plan to wipe them all out. Crazy! He was definitely crazy! Why was he so confident? The small little bomb in his hand… A 3 metre radius sounded good, and it seemed like it would work especially well against the small sized spiders.
In a densely populated area they could definitely kill more than 30 of them. However, there were more than 500 of them, including elites or bosses! Could that bomb really do the job?
“You’re too crazy, to depend on that single bomb to deal with those terrifying spiders!” Yezekael looked at Rui and the bomb in his hand and said with a bitter smile. Then he paused and shrugged: “But I like craziness. My dad always said — No pain no gain. To get a bigger slice of cake, we will have to take risks. We’re still young and adventurous, not old men who have to calculate every odds before acting. Since you want to bet, let’s go crazy and bet big! Even if we fail, we’ll just lose one level. With our skill we can always level again. I will follow your lead!”
“Haha! Not bad!” Rui let out a hearty laugh upon hearing Yezekael’s words, finding him more and more pleasing to the eye.
“Alright then. This is it folks, I’m going to throw it now!” With a shrug, Rui gave a wane smile and said.
“Wait!” Little Sweet Girl’s voice attracted everyone’s gaze. She took a deep breath as everyone stared at her, and said “Ugh, we may be surrounded by those disgusting spiders soon, at least let me prepare my heart!”
Looking at the girl seriously taking deep breaths, everyone couldn’t help but laugh.
After more than 10 deep breaths, Little Sweet Girl nodded to Rui.
Rui waved his hand, motioning for the rest to retreat a little as he crept forward.
This time, he clearly saw how many spiders there were in the cave, which was almost as large and shaped like the Colosseum in Rome. There were definitely more than 500 spiders, and more importantly, there were slightly larger ones which were likely Elites, and in the middle, a huge Exploding Magic Spider with a height of nearly 2 metres. It was clearly the final BOSS!
Whoosh…
Rui aimed and threw the last Metal Chip Bomb towards the middle with all his might. He had to throw it right in the centre for the best effect, if it was too near the edge, some of the spiders on the other side would have time to escape. Being so densely packed together, if he managed to hit the very center of the area, not many would be able to escape the fate of being blown apart by their comrades’ chain explosions.
Cling…
As Rui threw out the Metal Chip Bomb, the sound startled the still spiders.
Without any hesitation, Rui flipped off the rock and without looking back, ran like crazy while motioning to the rest of the party in the distance.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
After running about 5 meters, the sounds of many explosions resounded behind, like exploding popcorn.
Oh, My God!
Looking at the rapidly flowing screen notification of experience flowing in, Rui and the party was almost overwhelmed with happiness.
“Hey! Let’s not count our chickens before they hatch, we aren’t out of danger yet!”
Rui quickly shouted as he caught a glimpse of nearly 40 odd Exploding Magic Spiders running towards them.
His shout caused the smiles on the party members’ faces to freeze.
“You guys RUN!”
Rui shouted and activated Nimble Wind before pouncing towards the enemy; his dagger viciously slashing towards the first Exploding Magic Spider’s head.
|
Critical strike! |
With nary a doubt, he swiftly slew the Exploding Magic Spider which had 100 HP left!
Rui’s base speed was 6 points, and at level 9, Nimble Wind would give him an additional 36 Speed for one minute, adding up to 42. Just counting Agility alone, a normal player would need to have 420 Agility to have that amount of speed. This unnatural speed made his figure seem like a ghost. And in less than 0.5 seconds after he had struck the blow, he had caught up with Yezekael and the rest who were few meters away.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
The group of Exploding Magic Spiders chasing them self destructed, and like firecrackers, the chain reaction backwards caused the whole area to implode.
Danger Clear!
Rui and the party stood there, smiles on their faces, as a stream of experience notification scrolled incessantly.
thank you!
New meaning to EXP grinding, and BTW tnx for the chap!!!
just blasting through the levels, nothing to see here
Thank You
That “420” agility tho.
Yes, you could say it’s “high” agility
Lol.
LOLOL, Well played. Damn, that XP gain is cheeeeeeaaaat. You know that’ll get nerfed. 😛
Naw that is y the bastards go boom and swarm the people attacking if u did not time it right then u die and all exp gained will be negative with the level drop.
But if you can time a little bomb and Throw it right then you get overloads of exp…
Sadly they dont even have that bomb, its a special item
How do you know that? Where have you read it? I really like this story so plz tell me?
well arent the bombs a quest reward
Not a quest reward. They got it when they started the quest but you can’t be sure that the smith isn’t selling them if you haven’t read the next chapter or rather, the chapter where they tries to buy them. But yeah, there isn’t a good chance that they can get it again.
In fact, the game itself called the item a HIDDEN weapon, and this is a HIDDEN quest at a SECRET dungeon. He only got here because of the Wolf King’s quest had the extreme +100 fame rating. There will be very few who ever find this quest, and when they do, they will already be at least level 15 if not higher. By then, the experience probably wouldn’t be that much at all.
Most of the time in Chinese novels the term “Hidden Weapon” is used often to discuss pretty much any concealed or concealable weapon. Throwing knives, hidden bombs, poison darts, etc. It would not surprise me if the bombs are simply a hidden weapon in this term, as opposed to some rare quest reward.
Other than that I agree that exp the rewards wouldn’t necessarily need to be nerfed.
That sounds like an unfair amount of EXP.
Thanks for the chapter.
They are gonna be the Kings and queens of exp XD
Wonderful!
Amazing FREE EXP!!! ahahahaha
I read it hehe… that’s great ha… it’s like tissues you know… cuz the tears won’t stop heheh… MG chapter… 3 weeks huh… hehehe
Such a long time since the last one…
Although I doubt it, any chance we’ll get more chapters this month, since there’s only a little more than a day left, my time at least, and I mean any novel translation?
Thank you translators + editors. It was a long break but I hope it is worth waiting for. Time to read
awesome, cool , nice
Are you f…king telling me that he killed 500 mobs + boss with a CHIP!!! F…k this OP novel! With every new chapter it only gets worse
It’s a bomb what did you Expect?
you just knew? I already drop this a long time ago, I mean, wtf is the skill Nimble Wind, too fk*ng OP. imagine if the mc reach level 100, and lets say his speed is 10, doesn’t that mean his speed will become 1000!?? so stupid. the only LN right now that is worth the read in here is MG, and even that is being delayed.
But the novel is promising >.> No power levels, stages, steps, rankings. Just evaluating strength by “can you blow it up” method. MC is hilarious. The girl is… well, the ship arrived quickly and anchored very firmly. MC:” gotta meet up with her… but wait, ima already at home, sh*t…”
I actually like that it is OP because I have enough of those idiots in every novel and manga that are weak as s**t. The gamer’s MC is also a cheat character but I love this manhwa because he does have OP skills yet still there is struggle (he needs to grind) and there are other OP characters. This one I think it will be similar because he does have OP skills but perhaps there will be other people with even better skills in the future chapters (you never know). He is in the starting village no. 22,222 (so take 1 the best guy from each village and you have some competition).
And please don’t compare two different types of novels (doesn’t make sense to). For instance I do not like MG yet I don’t say it’s fu****g ridiculous or sh*t, I simply choose not to read it. You on the other hand said you dropped it yet still continue to read it? where is the logic in that? Also there are couple of worthy LNs to read here (for instance re:monster which is hosted here, if you like this type of thing, and other LNs depending on someone’s taste in novels) oh and by the way the MC in re:monster is also OP 😀
You are so right. In the games there are also bosses and even if he uses nimble Wind it’s not like he gets to make an attack that deals like 1 million damage. The bigger bosses aren’t shit and even if they can’t get him while he uses nimble Wind they can still get him after it’s over. I agree that he is a cheat character but there’s a lot who’s shit (like he also said) and I also like the overpowered characters and also remember the saying: If you don’t have anything good to say, then don’t say it. If you don’t like the story then you shouldn’t even be here.
I dont know about you guys..
I know its a great concept a super op MC but dont you think its so cliche
its like using a nuke for a single 1mm ant
And that is the best, if you played some funny and ridiculous pc games (or console games) in the past then you probably heard about Postal 2. This game in overall is BS but I mean everyone in that game used bazooka to kill people (or other weapons not normally used to do it). I like it because it is the fact that MC used 1 bomb to kill ~500 monsters (or like you said nuke for an ant) and in the future it probably will get better if not then not (maybe it will be worse) But for now I think it’s cool and will read it.
nope, I don’t read it, just come to check on the comment, while checking on the new releases (still no MG though). I don’t have a problem with op mc, but the way the story were told become a problem itself. I enjoy reading Mahouka even though the mc is op because the story is solid. and I too dislike a wuss mc, especially story with meaningless ecchi. back to the point, I remember in the beginning when the mc created his character he got full point in agility which is 1, and that’s when he got the Nimble wind skill. I could accept it if it double his agility, but meh. and to make it not too seem op the author put a cooldown for the skill which is reasonable, but when the mc grind with the wolf, I think the author forgot about it and just use it whenever he like, and that becomes the flaw. the same with Zhan Long, the mc is one of the strongest swordsman in China, but in the game, it’s just like he never hold a sword before and depends too much on in game skill. but that’s just my opinion, and I just didn’t like to read LN with simple storyline such as this.
I don’t really mind because as I said somewhere before there are many inconsistencies in these type of novels/manga (i.e virtual reality/games). I simply enjoy it and correct it myself in my mind if I see a mistake. The story is fine as for my liking but hey there are many people with different tastes so not everyone has to like it. Oh and by the way he got 2 speed (20 points max in agi) and as I look at it there are 1300 chapters so perhaps there will be as you called more solid story. So pretty much that’s that, enjoy reading MG (when it comes out :D) hope you will like it till the end and have fun. Dark
I will definitely keep reading this in the hopes that he become evil. I am tired of the “good guy” MC that grinds and gets super strong… but a badass OP MC that kills EVERYONE unless you’re in his party? I could get with that….
It’s weird that this MC is a freaking assassin IRL yet he seems to be a pussy IG, yes he pked a couple guys but why is he so nice to Sasha and the other guys IG? This story sadly so far seems to be rather light hearted with occasional dark moments but still cliche.
where do you read Mahouka koukou….???? baka tsuki doesn’t host it anymore
I’ve read it at bakatsuki before they take it down. if you wish to read it, you can try google mahouka pdf or epub, there’s someone hosting it, for limited time I guess.
Yeah I get what you say, I think this story is kinda childish/cliche. Like literally the MC is ejaculating every time he gets XP…
Isn’t he supposed to be really cool and detached as he is an assassin? He does not have the mental state of an assassin in this game plus he treats his team mate too well, Weed never killed anyone but he treated them way worse than this guy does.
Nimble wind isn’t the only op skill out there. Some other players have their unique op skills for getting full points on other stats. You’ll need to read more to understand. The author is still at the stage of introducing stuffs.
Btw, this is the raws link: http://www.5du5.com/book/1/1330/
Thousands of chapters to go.
Spoiler: The boss didn’t die of course. In this novel, MC is op, but the bosses are 100 times more op. As you continue to read, you’ll get how he struggle against bosses every time.
If they kill eachother I don’t get why you get experience, do you get experience if a guy nearby kills a monster, no. So why should you get experience from monsters killing eachother.
It’s because they were the ones who caused it, the monsters don’t just spontaneously explode, there is required user interaction and as the designated user (and team) that triggered the reaction, they get the exp.
thanks for the chapter
Thank you
thank you!
Thank you!
Thanks.
Exp gains
I liked it before he teamed up but now it seems to be bad, isn’t this guy supposed to be an assassin? Like he literally killed people before and yet he cares about these team mates?
This is too light hearted for a story about an assassin…
Plus the Little Girl, Sasha and the other character seems to be red shirt to me, hopefully he’ll ditch them or something.
Maybe I’m just used to badass MC like XY and Weed, they are more believable and less childish…
Thanks for the chapter.
