I am the Lucky Cat of an MMORPG

57. Grinding at the Derelict Ruins

Perhaps XiaoYu was frightened into a daze by HereticKing's last sentence. All the way until they met up with the rest of the team, XiaoYu remained in a dazed out, lost-spirit state.

"Chief...what did you do to Xiao-Yu?" I_Am_A_Poor_Man asked.

"Nothing much..." Just a tiny scare. HereticKing must say, his brother's strange way of scaring people is quite effective. It'd be hard to forget it. "XiaoYu, come back to us."

"Ugh...hm?" XiaoYu didn't know how to react to the sudden party of people before his eyes.

"Party up. Then, you can all introduce yourselves," I_Am_A_Poor_Man said as he patted another healer.

"Sunshine_Illumination." He started the party this time. A male healer.

"Silver-Winged_Angel." Female archer.

"Eremes." Dual-wielding assassin.

"Kathryne." Fire wizard.

"Terminator." Tank knight.

"Hi. I'm LuckyCat." - "Meow~" - "Ah, this is my pet, TinyLuckyCat."

"Hehe. We met before. Thanks for your buffs last Guild Wars."

"Ah, no problem." XiaoYu really didn't recognise them. His attention was all on his chanting back then.

"Take this, Xiao-Yu. Use it once we're through the gates," said I_Am_A_Poor_Man as he handed the XP Penalty Waiver to XiaoYu.

They were now right outside the huge ruins. Marked with cracks and black scorch marks, its walls stretched on infinitely. If one listened carefully, they could faintly hear the sobs and cries of the dead souls coming from within. The world within this ruined city must be very interesting.

The two high-levelled healers refreshed the buffs on the party and the mighty nine-player party was ready to set out.

The giant city gates were slowly pushed open. A slight waft of rotting flesh scent drifted out. XiaoYu shredded the XP Penalty Wait and a buff with a five-hour timer started.

There were all kinds of spirits in the city. Some looked straight-up gruesome. Some had their heads covered up with only the three holes on their faces exposed. Some had a triangular headband on with their long tongues hanging out...Most of them shared a very special characteristic - they hovered over the ground.

Thus, they were either higher than the players by half. But these monsters would lean down to bite and attack once they notice a player or get attacked. Therefore, there was no worry that players can't hit them.

The city was very big, so big that one would barely ever see any other players in there. The nine fell into a circle formation with XiaoYu enclosed within. Slowly, they advanced.

All the bored XiaoYu had to do was pay attention to everyone's health. If anyone's health started dropping, he'll just fill it back up. Poor_Man told him not to use his heals to attack those ghosts. While it won't do much damage, magic attacks attracted more aggro than physical attacks. If he accidentally died, the Waiver would be wasted.
