10

Yan Yu was unaware of the covetousness of an unrelated person.

She was ready to act according to her new plan - she was going out to fight monsters.

Around ten o'clock in the morning, Yan Yu specifically told the people in the blacksmith shop not to call her for lunch, using the excuse that she had brought food with her. Then she locked the door, turned on stealth mode, and climbed out of the window.

The invisibility cloak worked very well, and she had a smooth journey without anyone noticing her presence.

After leaving the Novice Village, Yan Yu walked to a deserted place, released her invisibility, put on the D-level armor with improved attributes, and quickly ran upstream along the stream.

Yan Yu was unfamiliar with the forest and was worried about getting lost if he ran around, so he only dared to move forward in the direction he came from.

In less than an hour, she arrived at her destination, which was the nest of one of the wood-eating ants she had discovered earlier.

Even though he had a C-level dagger and D-level armor in his hand, and a lot of small red medicines as backup, Yan Yu still didn't dare to be careless.

She deliberately kept a distance of about 20 to 30 meters from the two or three meter high wood-eating ant nest, and then sprinkled some vegetarian bun crumbs on the path that the worker ants must pass through to lure them over.

Then kill them one by one.

[Successfully killed a level 1 wood-eating ant, experience points +3, constitution +1]

[Successfully killed a level 1 wood-eating ant, experience points +3]

[Successfully killed a level 1 wood-eating ant, experience points +3, copper coins +10]

…

For a full four hours, the system sound kept ringing, nearly 1,000 times, which is equivalent to killing an average of four wood-eating ants per minute.

Now Yan Yu has upgraded her weapons to new ones. The flame dagger and armor have greatly improved her attack power. When dealing with level 1 wood-eating ants with a health value of only 110, she can basically kill them with one blow.

Four hours later, the number of level 1 wood-eating ants dropped significantly. Yan Yu parted the bushes and saw that there were only a few ants left of the dense army of ants surrounding the wood-eating ant nest.

The soldier ants guarding the nest discovered something was wrong and were scattering in search of the enemy.

Yan Yu had already used detection techniques to find out their attribute data.

[Wood-eating ants and soldier ants]

Level: 5

Health: 300/300

Attack: 40

Defense: 24

Skill: Sprays out intermediate formic acid to corrode the enemy's skin. The corroded state lasts for 10 seconds, with a health reduction of 5 per second and a cooldown of 40 seconds.

Level 5 soldier ants are much more difficult to deal with than worker ants, especially the intermediate formic acid they spray, which is more troublesome. Moreover, ants are good at group attacks and cooperation, so they must be divided and defeated.

Yan Yu made full use of the kite-style attack, luring them away from the group one or two at a time and defeating them one by one.

[Successfully killed a level 5 wood-eating ant, experience points +15, strength +1, copper coins +20]

[Successfully killed a level 5 wood-eating ant, experience points +15]

[Successfully killed a level 5 wood-eating ant, experience points +15, copper coins +30]

…

It took her half an hour to clear out all twenty soldier ants outside the nest, and the remaining dozen or so hid directly in the anthill, probably to protect the queen ant.

The situation of the male ants and the queen ants in the ant acupoint was unknown. In addition, after five hours of fighting, Yan Yu's energy was seriously reduced, and it was about to get dark. She didn't want to take any more risks.

We'll deal with the remaining wood-eating ants tomorrow.

Yan Yu returned along the same route and when he approached the Novice Village, he hid himself without disturbing anyone and returned to the blacksmith shop.

After resting for a while in the separate forging room and feeling that his energy had almost recovered, Yan Yu finally had the leisure to count his gains for the day.

After killing over a thousand wood-eating ants, she gained over 3,000 experience points, allowing her to advance directly from level 3 to level 10 (230/880). She also gained 21 free attribute points. Adding the various attribute points dropped by killing monsters, her latest four-dimensional attributes became:

Strength: 60

Constitution: 39

Agility: 37

Spirit: 20

Wood-eating ants drop more strength attribute points and very few spirit attribute points. The rarer they are, the more useful they are.

Although Yan Yu is not quite clear about the specific use of the spiritual attribute now, it does not prevent her from thinking deeply about it by going against the game operation. So she waved her pen and added all 21 free points to the spiritual attribute.

The spirit value becomes 41.

Those worker ants and soldier ants did not drop treasure chests after their death. Considering the drop rate of the Demon Eye Wolf last time, it is estimated that the treasure chest drop rate of monsters below level 5 is 0.

The wood-eating ants provided Yan Yu with a total of 1,200 copper coins, equivalent to 12 silver coins.

The money she earned from killing monsters was not even a fraction of what she could use to forge equipment, but it was better than nothing.

It’s no wonder that Yan Yu looks down on this little money. It’s just that her SSS-level talent is too powerful, and she makes money at a speed that others can’t catch up with.

Just when Yan Yu reached level 10, the system gave her a special reward.

[Congratulations to player Yan Yu for being the first among all Blue Star players to reach level 10. He is rewarded with a mysterious treasure chest. Do you want to anonymously announce this to all Blue Star players?]

Yan Yu decisively chose "yes".

People are afraid of being famous just like pigs are afraid of being fat. She doesn't want to be the target of public criticism.

The right way is to hide secretly and develop in secret.

[Blue Star Server Announcement: Congratulations to player ** for being the first to successfully reach level 10 in the entire Blue Star Novice dungeon. All chat channels in the Blue Star service area are now open.]

"Wow, who's so awesome? He's only been in the game for three days and he's already level 10!"

"Wow, wow, I just barely reached level 3 after spending all this time trying. Can you give me some upgrade cheats?"

"Stop daydreaming, you upstairs. You might as well kill a few more monsters if you have that much time. By the way, sir, do you want a leg pendant? I'm an experienced underling!"

"Where the hell is this place? I want to go back to Blue Star. It's too scary here. Everyone who was with me was killed by monsters."

…

There are a total of 4 chat channels open in the system: dungeon channel, friend channel, guild channel and district-wide channel.

The first three channels were quiet as a chicken, but the whole area channel was bustling with activity.

Yan Yu took a quick look and found that the topics basically revolved around her and the survival game that appeared inexplicably, as well as people looking for their relatives on it. There was no information that was useful to her.

So Yan Yu's attention shifted back to the mysterious treasure chest rewarded by the system.

The mysterious treasure chest was made of a golden-orange gemstone. It was two sizes smaller than the black iron and bronze treasure chests she had seen before, and was only the size of two palms.

As usual, Yan Yu first used his Divine Maker talent to improve the quality of the items it dropped, then washed his hands before opening the treasure chest.

A golden light flashed by, and Yan Yu looked closely and saw a token made of unknown metal lying quietly at the bottom of the treasure chest.

Yan Yu picked up the token.

[Shop opening order]

Quality: S-grade

Description: Special item, can only be opened in the mysterious treasure chest, with a drop probability of 0.1%, used to open the level 1 shop.

Wow, she even caught up with the one in a thousand drop probability. It seems that she is really lucky today!

She was just worrying about what to do with the equipment piled up in her storage ring. With this store opening order, selling them would be a piece of cake.

But how do I use this store opening order?

Before Yan Yu could figure out what was going on, there was a knock on the door of the forging room: "Master Blacksmith, it's time for dinner."

"Coming right up."

Yan Yu opened the door and found the blacksmith shop owner alone to hand over 260 E-level daggers, and received a commission of 1 gold coin and 95 silver coins.

The blacksmith shop owner briefly checked the dagger's attributes and was very satisfied with the 5-point attack power bonus on it.

“Well done.”

Yan Yu took advantage of his good mood and took the initiative to make a new request: "Boss, to be frank, E-level equipment is really overkill for my talent. I want to forge D-level equipment."

She already has enough E-level, D-level and even C-level daggers in her hands. Her current goal is to get the D-level armor blueprint from the blacksmith shop owner.

There was no way. Today, when she was dealing with those wood-eating ants, she was accidentally sprayed with a lot of formic acid, which directly destroyed a piece of D-level armor.

Fortunately, she still had 7 pieces of armor in her storage ring, so she took the time to quickly change into a new one.

This incident made her suddenly realize how important and necessary it was to have a high-level armor when fighting monsters alone in the forest.

Tomorrow she planned to completely destroy the nest of wood-eating ants. There were many higher-level elite monsters in it, so high-level equipment was essential.

Of course, D-level equipment blueprints are rare and worth 100 gold coins. The blacksmith shop owner would not give them to an outsider casually.

Yan Yu continued to raise the stakes: "If you give me the blueprints for the D-level armor, I can guarantee that all the armor you forge from now on will be handed over, and I won't take a cent."

The blacksmith's owner ran his fingers slowly across the dagger, looking thoughtful.

After a few seconds, he seemed to have weighed the pros and cons: "Can I see your specific talents?"

Yan Yu met the hesitant look of the blacksmith shop owner and smiled calmly: "Of course."

She knew his concerns. After all, it was a rare item worth 100 gold coins. Even in extraordinary times, it was impossible for her to fool him away with just a few words.

Yan Yu had already considered this aspect when he was using the basic camouflage technique yesterday. The new talent created by the disguise would definitely make him excited.

Yan Yu disclosed the talent column separately to the blacksmith shop owner.

Talent: D-level Blacksmith (E-level equipment creation rate 75%, D-level equipment creation rate 70%, C-level equipment creation rate 1%, B-level and above equipment creation rate 0%)

Because many daggers were upgraded to D-level and C-level yesterday and could not be taken out, the completion rate of her so-called E-level equipment was only 75%.

Therefore, Yan Yu had no choice but to increase the D-level equipment completion rate to 20% higher than that of Blacksmith Li, and add a little bit of C-level equipment completion rate, because he didn't believe that the blacksmith shop owner would not be tempted.

Sure enough, after seeing the mark behind her talent, the blacksmith's eyes lit up.

He was already tempted: "How many D-level equipment can you forge every day? What are the attributes of the equipment?"

Yan Yu deliberately put on a proud expression to raise the stakes: "I guess you can see that my mental strength is naturally high, so my forging speed is faster than that of Blacksmith Li. I can produce about 200 pieces of D-level equipment a day, and on average, one C-level piece will be dropped out of every 100 pieces."

"As for the equipment attributes, please rest assured that they can basically reach the highest values ​​on the blueprint."

Ordinary D-grade armor costs around 300 copper coins, and the high-attribute armor she makes is worth at least 500 copper coins. 200 pieces a day means 10 gold coins, plus 2 pieces of C-grade armor worth 2 gold coins, which means a daily profit of 14 gold coins.

Considering that Yan Yu only had more than 4 days left in the Novice Village dungeon, the value she could create for the blacksmith shop owner was far less than the value of the blueprint, so before leaving, she planned to secretly give him two more B-level armors as a token of her care for him.

The blacksmith shop owner didn't know what Yan Yu was thinking. He gritted his teeth and gave him the D-level equipment blueprint that he had always treasured.

"Okay, then I'll hand it over to you. I hope the armor you forge can protect more villagers in the future."

Yan Yu sensed the blacksmith's reluctance and solemnly promised, "Don't worry, boss. I will work overtime to make as much armor as possible and help the villagers as much as possible. We will strive to overcome the difficulties in the next four days."

While eating and chatting, Yan Yu already knew that this place would be hit by a wave of monsters in four days.

All the monsters in the surrounding forests will come out and attack the Novice Village together.

When the nest is overturned, all the eggs will be broken. These players and the villagers share a common destiny. Once the village is breached, they will not be able to escape death.

The crisis was imminent, so Yan Yu only ate a few bites of food in a hurry, asked the handymen to move the new materials, and then rushed back to the forging room.

She is about to start forging D-level equipment.
