My talent is 1.

Zhong Wuyai thought for a moment and realized he needed to save up money to buy an iron sword, which would give him 81 physical attack points with a single swipe.

After unleashing your skills, slash with the iron sword, and even the BOSS will cry.

Yeah, and clothes too. I need to get clothes with at least 10 points of defense. If I adjust the talents, that'll be over 100.

When the time comes, fighting the BOSS will be a piece of cake.

After killing several wild dogs, Zhong Wuyai still felt it was too slow.

My two fireballs dealt more damage than they should have, so killing wild dogs here would be a waste.

They turned around and went to the level 4 wild boar territory.

However, after seeing the wild boar's attributes, Zhong Wuyai sighed helplessly and returned to the wild dog area.

Wild Boar

ordinary monsters

Rating: 4

Health: 1000/1000

Mana: 50/50

Physical attack: 20

Physical defense: 9

Magic Defense: 5

Power: 20

Agility: 7

Physical condition: 20

Spirit: 1

Skill [Thick Skin Lv.1]

Passive skill

Increases own physical defense by 5 points and magic defense by 5 points.

Well, it has high defense, high HP, and even skills.

This raises the difficulty level by several notches.

Most importantly, the wild boar has a high attack frequency, with 7 points of agility compared to my own 1 point.

Even if you arch slowly, it's still much faster than if you hit it yourself, and you can't escape.

For safety's sake, it's best not to touch it for now.

Send some money to the village and see if the tailor has any clothes with +2 or +3 defense.

Back then, pigs were slaughtered...

Two fireballs and a wild dog can usually yield some copper coins. After all, we haven't even started fighting yet, and people are already fighting over rabbits with Xiang Yang and Yang Yimu.

I need to hurry up and pluck all the dog hair off, then go pluck some pig hair...

[Ding! Killed a common monster, a wild dog, gaining 8 experience points. Killing a monster of a higher level grants an additional 1 experience point.]

200 experience points isn't a lot, but it's not a small amount either.

After all the wild dogs had been killed, a wild dog that was noticeably larger appeared in Zhong Wuyai's field of vision.

Wild Wolfhound

Elite Monster

Rating: 4

Magic Attack: 2

Power: 24

Agility: 9

Physical condition: 24

Intelligence: 2

Skill [Claws Lv.1]

Passive skill

Each attack deals an additional 20% physical attack damage.

Goodness, it comes with skills, and the skills are based on a percentage.

That skill would be so great if I had it; it would instantly boost your stats to 210%.

Then he'll come over with an iron sword with 81 attack power and kill you...

Despite my thoughts, the elite monsters have high stats and are even harder to defeat than wild boars.

But it doesn't mean we can't fight.

Without magical defense, my fireball dealt full damage.

Moreover, even with 24 attack points and skill bonuses, it only deals less than 5 damage.

With only 11 points of defense, it's not like I can't withstand attacks.

Fireball... -303, the wild wolfhound's health dropped significantly. Zhong Wuyai switched to the beginner wooden sword and began to fight back.

As for positioning, with only 1 point of agility, you can forget about it; there's no point in positioning whatsoever.

Once the fight begins, there's no chance of escape; 9 points of agility is no joke.

Although each sword strike only deals 12 points of damage, it adds up over time. Besides, the damage I take is no less, so I might as well just stay put.

Ten seconds later... Fireball... another three hundred or so damage.

"No way, this is hopeless!"

The wild wolfhound had less than 500 health points left.

But I only have 60 health points left.

They won't last long enough for the next fireball.

Although he was slow and occasionally got hit, the wild dog area was not far from the village. After being hit three times, Zhong Wuyai had reached a spot not far from the village guards.

Although the wild dogs were eager to break in, the guards at the entrance to the beginner village were no pushovers.

If you dare get close, I'll kill you instantly with one strike.

Run to the fountain, and you'll get 1% health and mana regeneration per second, and your mana will be full in less than two minutes.

No, I have to get revenge. I can't wear the beginner's clothes anymore, I need to get a new one.

Fortunately, I still have two silver coins and three copper coins from killing wild dogs before.

Zhong Wuyai ran to the tailor, opened the sales counter, and saw only three pieces of clothing.

He wore linen clothes, coarse cloth clothes, and a cowhide hat.

A linen garment costs fifty copper coins, while a coarse cloth garment costs one silver coin.

But the leather hat costs 2 silver coins.

Coarse cloth clothing plus three points of defense should, in theory, be the most suitable for me.

However, this leather hat is not bad either, with two points of physical defense and three points of magical defense.

After thinking it over, Zhong Wuyai decided to buy coarse cloth clothes first. There would definitely be a reward for the first kill of an elite monster, and it might even drop some items.

Then save up some money and buy it, so that you have both physical and magical defense.

After buying the coarse cloth clothes, without saying much, I used my talent first.

[Coarse cloth clothing]

Durability: 20/20

Grade: Blank

Health +100

Physical defense +31

Magic Defense +1

Zhong Wuyai actually wanted to use his talent on life, directly giving him 1100 life points.

But reason told Zhong Wuyai that he should focus on defense.

After changing out of his beginner's cloth armor, Zhong Wuyai's defense immediately reached 31 points.

Why bother hunting wild dogs? Just kill the wild wolves and then go kill the wild boars.

However, as he passed by the jewelry store, Zhong Wuyai couldn't help but take a look.

"Damn, that's expensive!"

A bracer with +2 defense costs 5 silver coins.

A ring with +3 magic attack, 11 silver coins

This is robbery...

However, I did see a necklace that grants +1 magic attack for one silver coin.

Although the price increase is small, it's cheap, and I can only afford this kind of thing now.

[Damaged bronze necklace]

Durability: 5/8

Grade: Blank

Magic Attack +1

Spirit +1

Keep it on for now, and increase it to 11 after an hour.

With just this 1 point of spirit, my spirit value reached 15 points, and I gained 1 point of magic defense and 50 points of magic.

Zhong Wuyai thought to himself, "Why don't I add it to my mental energy later? That way, my endurance will be higher."

When I returned to the area where the wild dogs were, people were already killing them.

"Hey kid, get out of the way! You're not allowed here!"

"Get lost! Don't bother me!"

Zhong Wuyai retorted without even thinking.

The world is gone. Now it's just the beginning of a fantasy world. Who do you think you are, acting all high and mighty like someone with cheat codes?

"Kid, don't be ungrateful. This area is reserved by our Wild Wolf Gang. Go hunt wild dogs somewhere else."

"I'm not going to do it! I'm going to kill that elite wild dog. If you don't have the guts, then get out of here and stop acting like a big shot!"

This group of people is clearly here for the wild wolfhound, but given the elite monster's attributes, a few people can't handle it, so they've probably gone to find help.

"Kid, you really want to go against the Wild Wolf Gang?"

"What the hell is the Wild Wolf Gang? Are they related to these wild dogs? Perfect, I'm here to grind monsters!"

"You're asking for it, kid!"

Enraged, one of the soldiers swung his sword at him.

Zhong Wuyai didn't dodge either. They were both level one or two. If you can break my defense, then you're really good, absolutely awesome.

Miss……

[Ding! You have been attacked by player Liu Xiang. You have 1 minute to retaliate.]

Ah, this is the moment I've been waiting for.

The group was stunned. Liu Xiang's attack power was the highest among them, with a total of 18 points of attack power including his talent.

But how come it's a Miss when it hits this magician?

Before he could react, Zhong Wuyai unleashed a fireball...

-310…

In the early stages, players mainly focused on increasing strength to level up. If it weren't for the 1 point of magic defense that comes with the clothing, very few people would have magic defense.

But what the hell is this 300+ damage? Is this even human?

What a coincidence...

[Congratulations to player Zhong Wuyai for achieving his first player kill! Reward: 5 silver coins, 50 reputation points]

Oh my god, is there really such a good thing?

It's like a pillow being delivered just when you're about to fall asleep.

The Wild Wolf Gang members were furious. Their own men had been killed, and the other side had gained an achievement, earning them 5 silver coins and 50 reputation points for nothing.

But there was nothing they could do. This guy named Zhong Wuyai was simply inhuman! Liu Xiang's attack power of 18 couldn't even break through his defense, and he even dealt over 300 damage with a single fireball.

Nobody can handle this guy!

"Get out of here right now, or I'll send you all back."

The members of the Wild Wolf Gang looked at each other in bewilderment and had no choice but to leave.

"Boss, something bad has happened~..."

"Wow, Zhong Wuyai, he's struck it rich overnight!"

"Seriously, which unlucky guy contributed this? He could have bought equipment to kill dogs right away."

"Why bother killing dogs? You can just buy an iron sword and slaughter pigs."

"Forget it, with the attributes of wild boars, it would take four or five people to fight them."

"Zhong Wuyai really has to thank this guy; he helped him get through the difficult period."

Liu Xiang felt uneasy listening to this beside the Resurrection Spring.

I died once and lost 30% of my experience, which brought me to zero. I almost went back to level 1 from level 2.

Zhong Wuyai didn't care about the situation outside. He was only one wild dog away from reaching level 2. He didn't know how these people leveled up so quickly.

In fact, most people don't team up. They let two or three people kill the monsters that are already weakened, which is much more efficient.

The Wild Wolf Gang and some members of the Xiang Group arrived early at level 2 to kill the wild dogs.

It was just tough on the others, who had wasted half a day's effort.

Zhong Wuyai fired a fireball at the wild wolfhound, -311...

The wild dog quickly ran over and slashed at Zhong Wuyai with its claws.

Miss……

Very good, not bad. Let's wait for the skill to cool down and then fire another shot...

That happened four times.

[Ding! Elite monster Wild Wolfhound defeated, gaining 30 experience points. Defeating a monster of a higher level grants an additional 9 experience points.]

[Congratulations to player Zhong Wuyai for his first kill of an elite monster! Reward: 3 silver coins, 30 reputation points]

A flash of light, and I'm level 2.

Well, that doesn't matter. There are still more than forty minutes left, and I can add another 10 points of magic attack.

However, Zhong Wuyai didn't go to fight monsters; he picked up the items on the ground and returned to the starting village.

Elite monsters drop a lot of loot on their first kill.

One silver coin, 22 copper coins, and a ring.

Yes, it's a ring.

Wolf Claw Ring

Durability: 12/12

Grade: Black Iron

Physical Attack +3

Strength+2

If you equip this, you'll get 31 points of physical attack.

But relatively speaking, magic attacks are my favorite, after all, the skills are there.

But even this, with only 2 points of strength, is a rare piece of equipment.

This is the first piece of black iron equipment since the server opened, so it should fetch a good price.

"Yang Yimu, I've got something for you to see. Interested?"

Seeing the message notification bar flashing, Yang Yimu paused for a moment, then opened it to take a look.

"What are you doing? You're going to kill this dog."

"It's Zhong Wuyai. He sent me a message. Why don't you take a look? I'll take a screenshot and send it to you."

Xiang Yang glanced at the message box, initially dismissively closing it, but then quickly reopened it to take another look.

"This...this thing was dropped by an elite monster?"

They had just witnessed the Wild Wolf Gang's attack, but there were only four of them on their side, and they didn't know much about the Wild Wolf Gang's background. They could only watch from afar and call for help if necessary.

Who knew Zhong Wuyai's damage would be so insane, instantly killing the person.

Xiang Yang and Yang Yimu shut up. They decided to mind their own business and weren't qualified.

"Of course, the first drop from the first elite monster."

"Tell him I want it, and let him name his price."

"5 silver coins!"

"Where the hell am I supposed to find five silver coins?!"

Honestly, there are jewelry pieces in jewelry stores that are worse than this that cost more than five silver coins, so this is already very cheap.

But we don't have any money right now. There are only about ten level 2 players. Where are we going to find so many silver coins?

"Let's raise the money, no matter how much. With this ring, we can kill monsters much faster."

"Send a message to collect everyone's money. He must be short of money too, otherwise he wouldn't be selling this equipment."

If the beginner's cloth armor weren't bound to the player, Zhong Wuyai would have put the beginner's wooden sword and cloth armor up for auction. Both swords were top-tier, capable of killing dogs and rabbits without taking damage, and you couldn't even dream of getting them for less than a few dozen silver coins.

As for this ring, if it were a 21-strength item, people would fight tooth and nail to get their hands on it. The main problem is that nobody has the money, so it's better to just sell it.

Not long after Zhong Wuyai arrived at the tailor's shop, Yang Yimu and Xiang Yang came with money.

After the transaction, Zhong Wuyai declined the two men's invitation to team up and instead bought the leather hat first.

However, Zhong Wuyai was conflicted about whether to increase physical defense or magical defense.

With high physical defense, you'll have 52 points of physical defense, making it easy to deal with even elite boar monsters.

But I also want to increase my magic defense, because I'll definitely encounter magic-based monsters with skills later on, and I can't do without some magic defense...

After looking at his necklace, Zhong Wuyai stopped agonizing over the leather hat.

Don't add anything else, add magic attack first.

I currently have a total of 13 silver coins.

Without thinking twice, I went to the jewelry store and bought the ring that cost 11 silver coins.

This is the ring I've added the most to so far.

Blue Crystal Ring

Durability: 15/15

Grade: Black Iron

Magic Attack +3

Spirit +2

I also bought a hand protector.

【Cowhide Hand Guards】

Durability: 15/15

Grade: Blank

Physical defense +2

Magic Defense +2

Now you don't have to worry about it anymore.

Wait until the talent cooldown is over.

First, upgrade the attributes of the blue crystal ring.

31 points of magic attack—even Zhong Wuyai himself was terrified by the damage.

Magic attack power surged to 68 points.

Zhong Wuyai's heart was pounding as he watched.

"No, I'm going to kill monsters, I'm going to kill pigs, I'm going to be the number one player, I'm going to make everyone in this fantasy world kneel at my feet."

It was already dark, and most people were resting by the spring.

But there are still those who stay up all night, still killing stray dogs.

Only Zhong Wuyai walked alone towards the wild boar herd, carrying his ebony sword.

Everyone who saw it was stunned.

But the Wild Wolf Gang and Xiang Yang didn't think so.

This is a pervert; slaughtering pigs is perfectly justified.

If they come to kill dogs, none of us here will even get to touch a single dog hair.

Moreover, because of Zhong Wuyai, the Wild Wolf Gang no longer dared to be arrogant, fearing that Zhong Wuyai might act rashly and deal with them.

If they get heavily suppressed by this guy in the early stages, then anyone can bully them later.

Everyone's just quietly developing now.

"Hey piglets, I'm coming! ...Watch out for my fireball!"

"Bang!" A fireball dealt 565 damage to the nearest wild boar.

"Hmm, two fireballs each, not bad, not bad!"

In another hour, your leather hat will grant you 31 points of magic defense.

Then another hour, and the leather gloves will add 21 points of physical defense.

Wouldn't that make me invincible?

Oh, and the necklace too, I'm broke now.

If you have the chance, you can replace the necklace with one that grants +2 magic attack, and then remove the talent and add it on...

"Hahaha~...I'm the coolest guy in this fantasy world."

The wild boar only has an attack power of 20, which is completely ineffective against Zhong Wuyai.

Ten seconds later, a fireball spell took away the wild boar.

[Ding! You have killed a common monster, a wild boar, and gained 12 experience points. Killing a monster of a higher level grants an additional 2 experience points.]

Okay, level 4 monsters only give 12 experience points, and now it takes 500 experience points to level up.

If you're slaughtering pigs, you should be able to reach level 3 before midnight.

Zhong Wuyai has plenty of mana, over a thousand, enough to cast 105 fireballs.

Furthermore, when Spirit reaches 10, 1 point of magic is restored every 10 seconds.

Once your Spirit attribute reaches 20, it will recover one point every 9 seconds.

Overall, upgrading to level 3 before the blue buff runs out is definitely not a problem.

[Ding! Killed a common monster, a wild boar...]

Wow, it even dropped some loot...

A wild boar hide and a glove.

Wild Boar Handguards

Durability: 22/22

Grade: Blank

Wearing level: 4

Physical defense +3

Strength+3

The stats are so-so; it can only be worn at level 4.

At level 4, it seems somewhat useless.

But overall, it sells much better than jewelry stores.

Hmm, I should be able to sell it for 3 silver coins.

I've gotten equipment from the first drop of regular monsters, I wonder what elite monsters will give me.

Zhong Wuyai was very much looking forward to it.

After killing about ten wild boars, Zhong Wuyai only collected a dozen or so wild boar hides and forty copper coins; he didn't get anything else.

However, the enormous pig's head in front of him piqued Zhong Wuyai's interest.

Skill 2 [Thick Skin and Tough Flesh Lv.3]

Passive skill

Increases own physical defense by 12 points and magic defense by 12 points.

The BOSS's attributes have been enhanced; its health has increased several times, and its attack power has doubled.

The defenses have been significantly enhanced.

However, the 25 points of magic defense seem somewhat inadequate compared to the damage output.

But I can't fight it myself.

The lesson from the last incident with the wild dogs is still fresh in our minds.

The wild boar is quite far from the village guards, so it's best to wait until you upgrade your equipment before dealing with it.

After carefully leaving the wild boar king's territory, Zhong Wuyai seemed a little bored.

All the wild boars that could be killed have been killed, leaving only two wild boars near the boar king. It's not advisable to take risks for now; let them live a little longer.

The necklace will not be upgraded for the time being.

The original plan to increase magic defense with the leather hat needs to be changed; we should focus on increasing physical defense first.

Plus leather hand guards.

With two pieces of equipment that grant 21 physical defense, you can take on the Wild Boar King single-handedly.

Aside from skill damage posing a threat, other things aren't too important to worry about.
