"I am Rain After Clearing, my real name is Claire. Thank You Mr. Noah for not kicking me out."
Claire was a delicate looking girl of eighteen or nineteen, with a frail body and worn, faded old clothes that had been washed many times.
The other three also introduce themselves, they were Daniel Brooks, Marcus Reed, and Victor Hale.
They were all wearing designer clothes and clearly had money.
Claire was full of gratitude. She was truly short on money. When Stone Sinking Into The Sea said he didn't want carried players earlier, she almost despaired.
Who knew that Noah would only want carried players? Although she didn't know the reason, it didn't prevent her from being grateful o Noah.
Victor and the other two were more casual.
They didn't care about this little bit of money, and they wouldn't sell the attribute crystal they obtained. At a time when most people couldn't clear instances, or even dared not enter them, clearing instances and getting attribute crystal gave them a lot of face in their small circle.
"Let's not waste any more words. I originally wanted to choose other instance, but considering you don't know my strength and might have doubts, I'll go through the process once first."
"if you don't have any objections, I plan to take you all the way and clear instances until we clear the Advancement Instance."
As soon as he said this, the four of them were dumbfounded.
Daniel "What's going on? Isn't is just one run?"
Marcus : Brother, can you handle it...? I don't want to die too may times."
Victor said directly : "I'll leave the group after I died."
Claire opened her mouth but didn't say anything.
Their understanding of Noah was still based on clearing Instances by being cautions. Therefore, Noah's words seemed unbelievable. Let alone Daniel and other two, Claire also didn't want to waste all her instance resurrection chances here.
"You'll know soon."
The preparation time ended.
Just as the four of them were at a loss, Noah suddenly lunged forward with unimaginable speed.
"Huh, there's also... Who are you?"
Before the Boss could finis his surprised words, they turned into fear.
"Bang!!"
In less than a round, the boss was headshot by Noah's punch, instantly killed.
"Ah, this!!"
The four of them widened their mouths, wondering if they were hallucinating. Who was the boss after all?
The system notification sounded.
They each received 10 growth points and a random attribute crystal.
Claire : "It's not hallucination, it's not hallucination."
Daniel : "Wrong, everyone is completely wrong."
Marcus : "Brother, I beg you, take me flying."
Victor was even more direct : "No one can make me leave the group."
Noah smiled, not surprised by the four people's turnaround, and then looked at the system notification he had just received.
[Congratulation on clearing Trial Instance : Blood Battle Miller Family Fortress.]
[Evaluation : SSS ]
[Rewards : 50 Growth Points ]
--Strength Crystal x10
--Agility Crystal x10
-- Constitution Crystal x10
-- Spirit Crystal x10
-- Skill : Magic Shadow Step.
[As your growth points are full, continuing to clear zero grade Trial Instance will significantly reduce your gains.]
40 attribute points.
Skill : Magic Shadow Step.
As expected of an SSS-Grade evaluation, it was almost comparable to the extra reward for a first clear.
The only pity was that the growth value was full.
Noah looked at the negative effects after reaching max growth, his expression helpless, through this was understandable.
If the rewards remained unchanged, at his current efficiency in clearing instances, he could farm a large number of attribute crystal in a very short time, completely draining the Bosses.
The speed at which his breathing grew stronger was far slower than this.
Thinking of this, Noah felt more balanced, then looked at the newly dropped skills.
[Magic Shadow Step]
[Quality : Excellent]
[Type : Active Skill]
[Your figure becomes unpredictable; speed increases by 30%]
Noah's face showed joy with this footwork, his speed would be even faster.
He had long understood that to possess powerful strength, relying solely on basic attributes was not enough; one needed to pair them with various skills and equipment.
Like this Instance Boss, even when his attributes were comprehensively surpassed by Noah, he could still easily hold his own, making it impossible for Noah to escape by relying on his demonic arts and treasured sword.
Two consecutive skills were Excellent Grade; this boss was truly a good person.
After using all the attribute crystals and skills, just like when he learned Swordplay Proficiency, the next moment, countless memories of practicing Magic Shadow Step flooded into his mind. It felt as if a long time had passed, yet also seemingly occurred in an instant; his footwork became strange and unpredictable, his speed instantly increasing dramatically.
By the time Noah finished absorbing the knowledge, he had completely mastered this skill.
[Skills : Swordplay Proficiency Lv0, Magic Shadow Step Lv0.]
Unlike Swordplay Proficiency, Magic Shadow Step was an active skill and required consuming a certain amount of Essence Energy when used.
Noah naturally didn't have any Essence Energy, nor did he need it.
There was no health or mana on the attribute panel; unless you had a resurrection ability, you would die if hit in a vital spot.
Supernatural powers like Magic, Essence Energy, and Demonic Energy were all classified as energy.
The quantity and recovery of energy depended on Spirit.
The higher the Spirit Value, the more energy one possessed and the faster it recovered.
Magic Shadow Step had no cooldown; as long as energy was sufficient, it could be maintained continuously.
Noah believed that with his Spirit Value, he could fully use Magic Shadow Step for one or two hours.
However, now was not the time to test skills.
Noah withdraw his thoughts and looked at the four people.
"Which instance should we clear next? Do you have any suggestions?"
Hearing this, Marcus and other's eyes immediately lit up. "Brother, do you mean you'll take us to get the First Clear?"
"Yes."
Noah nodded.
The four exchanged glances, all suppressing their excitement and ecstasy.
At this moment, they all felt incredibly fortunate to have latched onto Noah's golden thigh, and even more fortunate that Noah didn't dwell on their verbal offenses and was still willing to lead them to clear the instance, and a first clear at that.
This was a first clear! It was incomparable to an Ordinary clear.
"Brother, charging 500,000 per person is really cheap. How about you charge a bit more? Otherwise, I won't feel at ease," Victor immediately started.
Marcus and Daniel nodded repeatedly, agreeing wholeheartedly.
Claire, however, looked troubled.
"No need, 500,000 is enough." Noah shook his head.
"Does Brother care about that 500,000? He just doesn't want people to freeload." Daniel understood immediately.
Noah said, "Let's talk about the next instance."
He hadn't spent much time on the forums and wasn't very clear about many developments.
"I'll go first." Claire voluntarily stepped forward.
She had been immersed in the forums and paid close attention to their developments. The information about attribute crystals selling for one million had been provided by her to Noah, and the fact that Noah didn't charge her made Claire feel uneasy, eager to perform well.
