The quality of the treasure chests I open will always increase by 3.

In less than ten minutes, Lin Yuan cleared away all the mud monsters by the pool.

What about the experience points gained?

Less than 0.5%!

That's so pathetic.

Yes, it only took him less than ten minutes, which means he was very efficient at killing monsters. However, the monster respawn rate was too low, and he had to wait a whole hour for the next wave!

That means he only gained 0.5% of his experience in an hour.

Even if you work a full day, you only get 12%, and it takes nine days to get promoted.

Is it slow?

It's not slow at all, because after level 10, it normally takes a month to level up once, but he can do it in nine days. This speed is like riding a rocket.

However, at this rate, it would only take a month to level up 3 times.

not enough!

His goal is to reach level 20.

Besides, he can't possibly keep refreshing the page 24 hours a day.

"The only way to level up quickly is to run dungeons and improve your rating," Lin Yuan muttered.

but!

The rewards for the same dungeon are only incredibly generous the first time you get a rating. After that, even if you get a gold rating again, or even break the record again, you will only get the basic rewards.

1% experience.

A pitifully small number!

Rewards for improving Silver and Bronze ratings?

It's possible, but the rewards for these two ratings are pitifully small and completely meaningless.

"A dungeon that must be refreshed."

There are 88 beginner dungeons, so how many are there at level 20?

Not many, there are only 12 in China.

The question is, how do we get there?

These instances are located in different level 11 to 20 zones, while the corresponding "gates" are scattered throughout the country.

Lin Yuan had two options: First, he could go to the corresponding location in China and then quickly reach the instance through the portal; second, he could travel directly through the game, but this would require traversing many high-level maps, even those above level 80!

He doesn't think he's capable of doing it right now.

"I should be fine against monsters below level 40, but above that... I'll get killed." Lin Yuan had already checked the strategy guide. His main attributes were slightly higher than those of a level 30 player in full bronze armor, so he could barely fight monsters around level 35, but he probably wouldn't be able to handle level 40 monsters.

—Unless he gets better equipment.

Then go and grind monsters that are level 20 or higher?

Sorry, although killing enemies above your level will give you extra experience, it only applies to enemies 5 levels higher. Even if you kill enemies higher than your level, you will only get 500% experience. The key point is that there are more people in areas where you are level 20 or higher!

Players who awakened their talents over the past five years have probably been leveling up in these areas. The competition must be fierce!

In contrast, the level 11 to 20 area is basically only occupied by new players from this year. Even players who awakened their talents last year have almost all reached level 20. If you haven't reached level 20 after a year, you basically don't intend to be a player anymore.

The beginner area is the best, as it's for one person only, and the experience points needed to level up are discounted. As for Lin Yuan, who is a "first-year student," although he doesn't get the experience bonus, it's still not difficult for him to fight monsters. There's no need to compete with "seniors" because there are just too many people there.

Once Lin Yuan reaches level 21, there's nothing he can do; he'll gain almost no experience from fighting monsters here, so he'll have to switch maps.

"Where is the entrance to the nearest instance I can enter?"

Lin Yuan started investigating.

Being a latecomer has its advantages, such as the ease with which information can be found.

The nearest gate is in Shanghai, and the corresponding instance is called Crimson Flame Castle.

"Very close!"

"Let's go tomorrow!"

After making up his mind, Lin Yuan sent a message to Su Yunmeng: "Go to Crimson Flame Castle tomorrow to get a gold rating."

Su Yunmeng replied instantly: "No problem, I'll go to Shanghai tonight."

Clearly, she knew the low-level dungeons inside and out, and knew without even looking it up that the corresponding door to Crimson Flame Castle was in Shanghai.

"Okay, then let's meet at the dungeon entrance tomorrow," Lin Yuan said.

"OK."

Lin Yuan carried the knife and left the pool.

There are some monsters level 15 and above on this map, but they are too scattered and wander around in various places. Killing these monsters to level up is extremely inefficient!

But Lin Yuan had other motives.

Treasure chest! Treasure chest! Treasure chest!

He wandered around aimlessly, killing any monsters he encountered. After all, the highest-level monster in this area was only level 19, and it was only worth killing him with a single strike.

He wandered around and around until he came to a graveyard.

He thought about it for a moment, and then it dawned on him.

There's a Black Iron BOSS here!

What does encountering a Black Iron BOSS in the wild signify?

A stable source of black iron equipment.

In addition, the BOSS may drop various blueprints, recipes, and talismans, which are very tempting.

However, the respawn rate of wild bosses is even more appalling. After death, it takes at least ten days to respawn. The higher the level, the longer it takes to respawn. In fact, Lin Yuan heard that there are unique bosses that will not respawn after being killed.

As we all know, these low-level bosses in the wild are definitely monopolized by various factions.

This place was no exception; at least fifty or sixty people stood around the cemetery, surrounding the entire cemetery.

If the BOSS has just been defeated, then there is at least seven days to go without worrying about it, but now so many people are on guard, what does that mean?

The boss is about to spawn.

Lin Yuan's eyes lit up immediately.

It's better to arrive at the right time than to arrive early.

He walked over.

"Halt!" One of them immediately waved his hand, drew his sword and pointed it directly at Lin Yuan. "This place has been booked by our Tianyang Group. If you don't want to die, get out of here!"

Lin Yuan was taken aback at first, then overjoyed.

"Tianyang Group, Yang Bing's Tianyang Group?"

"You bastard, how dare you address President Yang by his name like that?" The man flew into a rage, nearly slashing Lin Yuan with his sword. "Kneel down and beg for mercy right now!"

At this moment, several other people walked over.

The second person laughed and said, "Since the BOSS hasn't been defeated yet, why not play with him?"

"Okay," the third person said, then added to the first, "Old Mo, don't make a move yet, let's play with him!"

"She's not even a pretty girl, what's the point of playing?" the first person said, scoffing, but still temporarily sheathed his sword. "How do you guys want to play?"

The second man said to Lin Yuan, "Kid, if you want to live, take off your clothes and crawl around the graveyard three times."

"Hahaha!"

Several more people walked over and burst into laughter upon hearing this.

This isn't the first time something like this has happened. Every now and then, a few people will accidentally wander into this place. They don't care about anything else; once they come, they'll torture them to death!

Women fare even worse; they are basically doomed to be gang-raped.

In reality, there is at least the threat of the authorities, and even powerful forces dare not go too far. However, in games, the power of the authorities is too weak, and it is impossible to enforce strict management as in reality. This allows the evil in people's nature to be fully unleashed.

Some forces are mindful of their image and manage their subordinates strictly, not allowing them to easily injure or even kill others. However, other forces allow their subordinates to run rampant, and killing is commonplace for them.

Tianyang Group undoubtedly belongs to the latter category.

It is precisely because of these forces that kill indiscriminately that many people with poor talent give up on leveling up and stay in the real world instead of entering the game.

Lin Yuan responded with an "oh".

If the upper beam is crooked, the lower beam will be crooked too. How domineering and unreasonable was Yang Bing when he was in school?

Lin Yuan suspected that if the Yang family were any stronger, Yang Bing wouldn't even bother with a show of it; instead, he would have tied him up and given his son a talent transplant!

With Yang Bing setting an example, what kind of good people could his subordinates be?

Let's start by collecting some interest today.
