My Buff Is Invincible! - Chapter 3
Chapter 3: Robbed?
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Scrolling through the game forum, Reyker found that no one had posted about the distribution of monsters in the Novice Village.
However, based on his years of experience, Reyker could roughly tell the locations of the high-level monster areas.
To the south of the Novice Village was a tall mountain, and to the northwest was a river.
The beginner monsters were usually near the water, thus Reyker walked directly to the northwest.
On the way, he passed by many players who were going back or forth.
In general, Reyker could confirm that there was no problem with the direction that he was heading in.
At a distance of about 500 meters from the village, Reyker did not see a single monster.
It’s no wonder players were called the fourth natural disaster, not even a blade of grass was left!
With this, even if Reyker wanted to test his buff, he couldn’t.
After walking for more than 800 meters, Reyker finally saw a slime.
[ Slippery Slime ]
Level: 1
Attack: 5
Defense: 2
HP: 150
Skill: mucus attack
Evaluation: Be careful of their mucus, even by sliding around they can kill you!
Seeing the familiar monster, Reyker instantly laughed.
The feeling that what he was seeing coincided with his memory was very magical.
In the next moment, Reyker rushed forward.
Although he had obtained 100 copper coins from the first quest, it wasn’t even enough to buy a weapon.
At this moment, Reyker could only use his bare hands to fight the monster.
Taking advantage of the slime’s slow reaction, Reyker quickly approached it and landed a punch on the slime’s body.
“Pshh!”

Ever since the first punch landed on the slime’s body, the slime had been controlled by Reyker’s paralysis buff.
Following that, Reyker swung a few more punches which continuously paralyzed the slime.
Although Reyker’s attack speed was not fast, even an ordinary person could throw a few punches in one second.
On top of that, the paralysis buff could produce a 3-second control effect.
Although the paralysis buff’s control effect was not at 100%, a 95% chance of paralyzing the opponent was already very high, and this meant that almost every punch Reyker landed had a control effect.
Thus, at this moment, the slime had completely become Reyker’s training target, and it was the kind of target that couldn’t fight back at all.

…
In less than 5 seconds, the slime in front of Reyker was dead.
It contributed 5 EXP to Reyker.
The slime was unable to release its skills even once.
It also dropped some items.
3 white lights were flickering weakly on the ground.
[ Broken Slime Shoes ]
Characteristics: Speed + 2
Durability: 10
Evaluation: Dispensable shoes
[ copper coins x5 ]
[ slime mucus x1 ]
“It actually dropped an equipment!”
Reyker was a little surprised.
He was well aware of the nature of “The One”.
In this game, the drop rates of equipment were pitifully low.
The players he met on the way were mostly holding branches, wooden sticks, and other simple equipment of the sort.
Hence, he was a little surprised when he saw the equipment.
He immediately equipped the slime shoes, then he picked up the five copper coins and continued forward.
There were too many players in the early stages of the game, so there were almost no monsters in the vicinity.
After walking for another 100 meters, only then did Reyker finally see a second slime.
However, there were already people fighting the slime.
From afar, Reyker was tempted.
This was because the two players fighting the slime actually had weapons on them.
Although it was an ax that looked broken and battered, it was still better than using his own hands!
After thinking for a moment, Reyker decided to continue walking forward.
There was no need to bully this kind of novice.
Moreover, fighting monsters of a higher level than oneself increased the drop rate of equipment.
If he went to fight Level 5 monsters, he would probably be able to obtain a handy weapon by only killing seven or eight monsters at most.
Reyker did not want to bully the weak, but unfortunately the weak wanted to bully him.
When they saw Reyker, the two players were already on guard.
After killing the slime, the two of them immediately picked up the things on the ground.
Then, they walked towards Reyker.
“Kid, I don’t want your equipment, but you’ll have to hand over a silver coin and we’ll let you go!”
The slightly taller player took the initiative to speak.
“I just left the Novice Village, how am I supposed to have silver coins?” Reyker asked in reply.
“You don’t have silver coins? Then you can only hand over your shoes!”
The clothes that the system gave for free to cover the body were very different from the equipment in the game.
Therefore, the slime shoes on Reyker’s feet were immediately discovered.
“You want my shoes?”Reyker smiled. “Then you have to take them off yourself!”
The two players were already getting closer to him.
When they were about 10 meters away from him, they could already see Reyker’s level.
A Level 1 player.
In front of them, he was like a piece of meat on a chopping board. They could do whatever they wanted.
The two of them looked at each other and immediately rushed forward.
The taller player held an iron ax while the other player held a wooden stick.
The two of them slightly distanced themselves from each other, intending to attack from two different directions.
Seeing their actions, Reyker simply rushed towards the player with the iron ax.
Seeing Reyker rush over, the player with the iron ax grinned.
Such silly players definitely hadn’t fought in the wild before. They probably thought they could do whatever they wanted just because they had some skills in the real world.
Unfortunately, this was not what Reyker was thinking.
“The One”‘s system was the same as in the real world.
It was just that when they were all novices, everyone’s physique was the same, thus giving people the illusion that skills were useless.
Unfortunately, they met an experienced player like Reyker.
“Pshh!”
[ -10! ]
Before the player with the iron ax could finish his thoughts, he abruptly felt that his body was not under his control anymore.
Without a second thought, Reyker immediately turned around and welcomed the player with the wooden stick.
He slightly tilted his body and dodged the wooden stick’s attack.
Then, he released another punch.
[ -10! ]
The two of them were completely controlled on the spot.
Then, Reyker began to punch left and right.
He punched them five times each before switching to punch the other person.
Soon, the two of them realized that something was wrong.
What was going on? Two Level-2 players like us were defeated like pulp by a Level 1 player?
How is this possible?
Could it be that he has some kind of skill?
I went through so many hardships and finally got my hands on the iron ax, is it going to go to the possession of someone else?
Thinking of this, the player with the iron ax immediately shouted, “I’m from Hanchu Financial Group. If you kill me, I’ll definitely take revenge on you!”
“Huh!”
Hearing the words of the player with the iron ax, Reyker’s reaction was very indifferent.
To be hunted down, huh!
It wasn’t like he hadn’t experienced it before!
After casually responding to the threat, Reyker increased his speed.
The two of them lost their HP even faster.
