Bald Monk in the City - Chapter 11
Chapter 11: Reflex Dodge
Translator: Exodus Tales
Editor: Exodus Tales
Half a month after acquiring the Monk ability, Yi Qiu could finally level up. After leaving the dungeon, Yi Qiu took out a cigarette. He touched his bald head and the joy he enjoyed was like a farmer after having a bountiful harvest.
Yi Qiu felt like he probably wouldn’t be able to quit smoking in this life. Before 20, most people smoked because they’re curious or because they wanted to act cool. After 20 they smoked because they smoked. If you don’t like to smoke, then… You will definitely be able to save a lot of money (joke).
”Raising Monk level requires 1,000 Experience Points, will you level?”
”Yes”
”Your Monk level has risen to level 2″
”Due to your physique, your Life Value has increased.”
”You obtained a class baptism.”
”You have learned Reflex Dodge.”
Reflex Dodge (Cannot be leveled): When one is wearing light armor or no armor, you will obtain a dodge value based on your senses stat. After you dodge once due to your dodge value, the Ki in your body will form a short term shield that will let you be immune to damage based on your highest Ki value.
Ps: Activating the shield will cause your Ki to be extremely active. Thus, one can see the shield formed from Reflex Dodge as zero consumption. – by Monk Class Legacy.
Yi Qiu felt a warm feeling wrap over him up. A mystical change was happening in his body. An indescribable thing was entering his body, merging into his bones and muscles. He felt that he was becoming much tougher and his mind became much quicker. Many memories with regard to close combat fights appeared in his mind. But, it didn’t spread toward his long-term memory from his hippocampus like normal memories but instead flowed towards the various muscles in his body. The Ki in Yi Qiu’s body started to boil but it didn’t make him feel warm. Instead, he felt a calmness that was hard to describe, like a clear current that cleaned out the impulsiveness at the bottom of his heart.
After cleaning that out, Ki rose from his body to the surface of his body, it attached to it like a thin layer. Even if a bit of dust landed on it, the Ki layer would slightly shake and that dust would flick off. When enemy attacks were about to hit Yi Qiu, an intense flow of Ki would cause the layer to quickly and hurriedly vibrate. Then through nerves, it would activate the reactions of the muscles in the body. He would instantly activate Reflex Dodge movements and thus dodge the enemy’s attack. The vibrating Ki will go from the relaxed state to one that was tightly bound together, forming a strong shield to blow the remnants of the attack. This was the Monk’s Reflex Dodge.
Before Yi Qiu obtained the power of the Monk, his highest stat was his Senses, a full 12 points. As compared to raising Strength, Agility and Physique, Senses, Intelligence and Charm were much harder to raise. At least for Senses, Yi Qiu didn’t know how to raise it. Maybe certain Bloodlines could. Based on the current situation, the increase in Senses was important for Yi Qiu. As for Intelligence and Charm, as they say, ‘If intelligence is not enough, senses will make up for it’. As for Charm… A charging Monk wouldn’t care, it was one of the least efficient stats. Did a bald person need Charm? It didn’t exist.
After leveling up, it was the happy case chest opening time. Yi Qiu had saved up 6 Brown Tooth Boar old wooden chests. Along with the Hard difficulty Sadistic Dog-Head Man’s chest, he had a total of 7. He felt that the chests from the pumpkin field were of higher quality. The Hard difficulty Sadistic Dog-Head Man only dropped the same chest as the Simple difficulty Brown Tooth Boar.
Sadistic Dog-Head Man’s old wood chest:
Origin: Barren Gold Mine (Hard difficulty)
Quality: White
Related words: Dog-head Man, pangolin
Description: Look! You discovered, the treasure of a Dog-Head Man! Maybe inside is unfinished bones or items of a rookie, but sometimes you can get something useful… so aren’t you going to try your luck?
The Dog-Head Man had something to say about all this…
”Prayer!” He opened his phone and clicked on the stopwatch. The moment Yi Qiu activated Prayer, within 10 minutes, his Luck jumped between 8-12 points, each change would last for 1 minute.
”Luck: 9.” Luck -1, next wave.
”Luck: 10.” Luck didn’t change, continue
”Luck 9.” Another -1, continue.
…
At the 6th minute, he finally reached the limit of 12 points of Luck!
”Will you open the old wooden chest that came from the Sadistic Dog-Head Man?”
”Yes!”
”Congratulations you have obtained Bloodline Material – pangolin.” A pale white light shone from the box which meant that the item within was relatively high quality. There wasn’t any light when he got the recipe. However, Yi Qiu felt that the recipe was quite good for him.
He wasn’t eager to see the stats, he just quickly opened the 2nd box.
”Will you open the old wooden chest from Brown Tooth Boar?”
”Yes!”
”Congratulations you have obtained Bloodline Material – wild boar.”
”Will you open the old wooden chest from Brown Tooth Boar?”
”Yes!”
”Congratulations you have obtained…”
…
Using the rare 12 Luck, Yi Qiu used his extremely fast hand speed to open all the chests in less than 30 seconds. (Pls look at tl notes) He tabulated everything, obtaining 3 Bloodline Materials, 1 wild boar, 1 pangolin and 1 wild boar princess whilst the rest were just equipment and random items.
Brass Knuckle Duster:
Origin: Azeroth
Item level: 1
Quality: White
Durability: 25/35
Attack: 1-5
Attack type: Pierce
Weight: 0.5kg
Description: A knuckle duster made from brass. Due to poor maintenance, it has started to rush.
Ps: The attack effect you can cause is related to the power of your strikes. Only when your attack exceeds the armor of the enemy will you cause piercing damage, if not you will only cause pure striking damage.
Ps: Due to version settings, the weapons and equipments from chests will largely be suitable for human classes. But, at the same time you won’t be able to sell the class weapon and equipment at the Duoyuan Universe Exchange. As for equipment that you have outgrown, you can recycle it at the item exchange.
Acorn that little pigs like:
Origin: Azeroth
Quality: Grey
Description: Little pigs love to copy their parent’s actions. Human babies learn to walk, babies of boars like to chew acorn that they can’t manage to chew… You can try to give it to a little pig to gain its trust.
Ps: Grey miscellaneous item means that it is valuable for some beings but not valuable for most. You can test your luck in the Duoyuan Universe Exchange or choose to recycle it at the item exchange.
…
There were also a few other miscellaneous items like Brown Tooth Boar Fang which Yi Qiu was too lazy to bother with and which he tossed into his bag. Maybe there would be a time when it was useful. Anyway, his bag was empty and when it was full, then he would just recycle the items.
His main profits this time were 3 Bloodline Materials. Although their names sounded quite simple, the effects seemed good.
