Rebirth of the God Hunter Legend

Chapter 32 Thorn Shield
brush!
Two more golden lights rose up. Yi Han and Ling Feixue numbly allocated their attribute points. Their feelings were beyond complicated. They opened the level ranking and were immediately speechless.

1. Past Life and Present Life [Hunter] Level 7
2. Yi Shuihan [Knight] Level 6
3. Twilight Snow [Healer] Level 6
4. Looking back suddenly, [Mystic] Level 5
5. Tang Dacaizi [Mystic] Level 5
6. Lone Swordsman [Swordsman] Level 4
7. Frostfire [Assassin] Level 4
8. Drunken Moon Chant [Knight] Level 4
9. Thunderous Surge [Swordsman] Level 4
10. Crazy Rabbit [Shooter] Level 4
11. Young Hero Gu Yue [Swordsman] Level 4
12. Young Hero Tianling [Knight] Level 4
13. Gin [Swordsman] Level 4
……

That's right, the ranking dominance was a foregone conclusion. From the moment Ling Chuan fired the first crossbow bolt until now, only ten minutes have passed, and their level has skyrocketed from level 1 to level 6. Even if the system considers this speed as cheating, they wouldn't be surprised.

Ling Feixue subconsciously opened the built-in forum system and searched for the three words "ranking list". Sure enough, a post written five seconds ago appeared.

Title: WDNMD (I'm fucking fucking idiot)! Blatant cheating across lifetimes! Is the official Divine Revelation team even going to do anything about this?!

Content: I, Rao Kuan, am filing a formal complaint against players in starting village #525, namely [前世今生], [易水寒], and [暮里烟雪], for cheating. [前世今生] reached level 7 within an hour of the server opening, which I initially thought was just luck from completing some hidden quests. However, [易水寒] and [暮里烟雪] transferred to village #525 from other starting villages an hour later. They arrived at level 1, but after being taken away by [前世今生], they reached level 6 in just one hour. Is this normal? Village #525, please support this! We demand an explanation from the official team!

Reply to Gin: I, Zhou Liang, am also filing a formal complaint! We only contacted the three of them an hour ago. [Yi Shui Han] and [Mu Li Yan Xue] were indeed level 1. It's absolutely impossible for them to level up from level 1 to level 6 in just one hour, even ignoring travel time. Please provide an explanation, Divine Revelation official!

Reply to Gin: I, Hu Yun, am also filing a formal complaint! My reason is the same as Zhou Liang's: we were both contacts!

Reply to Gin, Reply to Tianling Shaoxia, Reply to Guyue Shaoxia: If you're not as skilled as others, then you're not as skilled. Why do you accuse others of cheating? Do you think all those top teams in the world are just sitting around doing nothing? You're so bored, why don't you use that time to kill a few more monsters? And you even filed a formal complaint? Who in W City doesn't know who you guys are? You cowardly followers who eat Tang Hao's ass! Don't reply to me, if you're unhappy, just talk to me directly. Coordinates: (460, 666).

Reply to Gin, Reply to Tianling Shaoxia, Reply to Guyue Shaoxia: The speed is indeed a bit exaggerated, but you just accuse him of cheating. Do you have any evidence? Take a video and post it.

……

There are only a few people replying so far, all of them are in the top ten of the rankings, and they are obviously very concerned about the changes in the rankings. It is precisely because there are few people that this post has not made a splash in the vast ocean of information. However, Ling Feixue knows that given enough time, this post will definitely create a huge wave. After all, this leveling speed is so fast that even they themselves find it unbelievable, let alone outsiders.

Ouch! !
With another whimper, emerald green specks merged into his body, and Ling Chuan finally leaped off the wolf's head.

He slung the broken heavy crossbow back over his shoulder and laughed, "The first wave is over."

Ling Feixue closed the forum and asked worriedly, "Xiao Chuan, is what we're doing considered cheating?"

Yi Han also looked solemn. Like Ling Feixue, he had also found that post.

Ling Chuan saw right through it: "Is it because you leveled up too quickly and people are questioning you?"

Ling Feixue paused for a moment, then nodded and said, "Yes, some people say we're cheating."

Ling Chuan waved his hand with a smile, "It's alright, let them talk. Most people who say such things are just jealous. The developers of Divine Revelation are not just one or two companies. It brings together so many top teams from around the world. Let alone a small player like me, even if the world's largest hacker group attacked together, they still couldn't break through the system's main core. Want to cheat? Someone would have to bypass the system's main core to do it."

Yi Han pondered, "That makes sense, but what we're doing is at least exploiting a bug, isn't it?"

Ling Chuan shook his head, "Don't worry, there's no problem at all. We haven't changed the terrain; we're just recreating real-world cases in the game."

Yi Han asked curiously, "Real-world examples?"

Ling Chuan said strangely, "Brother-in-law, haven't you seen it? It's often reported in the news that naughty kids stick their heads into the gaps in the railings and then can't get out." As he spoke, Ling Chuan reached out and patted the two wolf heads, continuing, "Isn't this a scene reenactment? What? It's allowed in reality, but not in games that are more realistic?"

"Puch!"

Ling Feixue couldn't help but laugh out loud, then glared at Ling Chuan and said, "You're full of twisted logic, yet you try to present facts and reason things out. Do you think the authorities will listen to you? Besides, isn't it your fault that they're stuck here? You'd be responsible in real life too."

However, after hearing what Lingchuan said, most of the worry in my heart dissipated.

The same applies to Yi Han.

Ling Chuan reassured the two again before entering the depths of the mine to begin picking Frostbite Berries and Black Tide Moss. After being ravaged by a wave of Thorn Wolves, he had used up nearly half of his Frost Tide. He didn't fight unprepared battles, and since the two herbs had just refreshed, he decided to replenish his supplies.

Having collected enough for fifty portions of Frosty Tide, Ling Chuan rolled out.

The corpses of the forty-eight Thorn Wolves on the ground have been wiped out by the system, leaving only piles of gleaming copper coins and two orbs of light emitting black glow. Equipment dropped!

He quickly picked up a ball of light, broke through its shroud, and a suit of armor came into view!
With a flick of his hand, the equipment's attributes flew out.

【Thorn Armor】(Black Iron Grade)
Category: Armor

Defense: 18
Required Level: 10
It's a breastplate, it adds 18 points to defense, a knight's weapon. I'll put it in my backpack and give it to my brother-in-law later.

Looking at the second item, you can immediately sense its uniqueness the moment you pick it up. It is very heavy, and it is 90% likely a heavy weapon.

With a flick of his hand, he wiped away the light that was obscuring the shield, revealing a heavy iron shield. It was entirely black, with dark red thorns covering its entire surface. It not only looked sturdy but also possessed a powerful deterrent force. Imagine if this shield were pressed against you; even if it didn't cause any damage, you would subconsciously feel uncomfortable. If the opponent also had trypophobia, the deterrent force would at least double!
Check the attributes.

【Thorn Shield】(Black Iron Grade)
Category: Large Shield

Defense: 25
Required Level: 10
The two pieces of equipment together provide 43 points of defense. If the other four pieces are acquired, Yi Han at level 10 will definitely have more than 100 points of defense. If he also learns the level 10 skills, he will have the possibility of defeating the bronze-level BOSS ahead of time.

Back in the cave, Ling Chuan immediately sent a trade request to Yi Han. Although Yi Han was puzzled, he still readily accepted. The next second, two heavy pieces of equipment landed in his hands. When Yi Han looked up in confusion, Ling Chuan had already disappeared into the mine, leaving only two "mischievous kids" howling at him, thoroughly enjoying themselves.

"What's wrong?" Ling Feixue asked, puzzled.

Yi Han remained silent, then sent the attributes of the two pieces of equipment to Ling Feixue. A few seconds later, a gasp of surprise echoed throughout the mine.
