Chapter 53 Leveling Up 2
Yu Xunge placed the two silver coins on the table and chose to set up a tent to rest. She was experienced in wilderness camping and her bag was filled with all kinds of fully functional outdoor camping equipment. She lit the coals, set up a small pot, and made herself a pot of meat rib noodles to restore her energy and relieve fatigue.
Different aromas wafted from the nearby tents, and savvy players would learn to cook, not only to improve their stamina while fighting monsters, but also to acquire a skill that could earn them money.
Not all beta testers have the money to learn cooking, and the food they make can be sold to players who don't know how to cook.
Yu Xunge divided out one portion of the pork chop noodles and carried both portions to the counter. Then she saw a group of people surrounding the bespectacled man, with food piled up in front of him. When he saw someone else bringing food over, someone waved to her enthusiastically: "Come on, come on, we're all here to gather information, let's come together."
Yu Xunge smiled, walked over and sat down, placing the pork chop noodles in the middle of the pile of food: "Do you charge money?"
A girl next to him looked at Yu Xunge's face in amazement. She recognized Yu Xunge; she had even seen him perform before. It was she who had invited Yu Xunge to sit down earlier. She said, "He wanted to accept it, but we're just chatting."
Xing Minglang said helplessly, "I can't say anything. We have rules, and most of the money we earn is for ordinary people."
A young man sitting next to him stuffed a chicken nugget into his mouth, silencing him: "I know, I know."
They haven't said anything, have they?
People may be a bit selfish, but they are not completely devoid of conscience.
Even Yu Xunge wasn't stingy.
Otherwise, to put it bluntly, if she had no bottom line, she could have easily followed Zhao Shuying invisibly and found a player to cooperate with them. Then, by following that player, she could find a way to enter the portal. Invisibility, transformation into an animal, or crawling into a pocket—as long as she was careless, she could always find a loophole.
The exchange between players continued until midnight, and Yu Xunge learned a lot about places where "the monsters are high-level and it's best not to go."
Another box of cockroaches arrived halfway through the trip. The short-haired woman and the man in military uniform with thick eyebrows and big eyes were still leading the group. Seeing them chatting, the short-haired woman even came over and had a drink with them.
But no matter how warm and friendly the people present were, Yu Xunge only ate the food he brought with him from beginning to end.
...
To avoid running into other players, Yu Xunge went out to fight monsters at 6 a.m. the next morning.
Yesterday she gained 1.473% experience, which was still a bit inefficient. Today she plans to go deep into the forest to find monsters of level 4 to 6.
She switched to a bow and arrow. While the bow and arrow takes longer to draw and cannot match the speed of a crossbow, they are more lethal. Her current equipment consists of a necklace that reduces cooldown time, bracers that grant +1 Constitution, a belt that grants +1 Constitution, cloth boots that grant +1 Intelligence, and a cloth vest that grants +1 Agility.
[Character] Yu Xunge (Level 0, 1.473%)
[Health Points]: 350/350
[Mana Value]: 400/400
[Strength]: 10
[Constitution]: 13 (+2)
Intelligence: 15 (+1)
Agility: 21 (+1)
Yesterday, while she was eating, she checked the data of all the players present. Everyone was level 0, and their individual attributes were mostly between 5 and 10 points, with all attribute points added up to between 25 and 31. In contrast, her four attributes added up to 59, which was about 30 more attribute points, or a difference of 6 levels.
What does it mean for her to bully the weaker monsters again?
Yesterday's training could barely be considered a warm-up for shooting at moving targets, but today she's going to train her ability to hit the monster's vital points.
In the archer's talents, there is a passive skill called "You're Too Weak (Passive)". During combat, you can keenly detect the enemy's weaknesses. She discovered that every time she enters combat, she can see 1 to 4 red dots appear on the monster. She knows that those are the vital points, but combat is ever-changing, and it is difficult for her to hit them.
Soon, she found traces of spider silk and, following it, saw a highly venomous spider weaving a web among the tree branches.
Yu Xunge aimed and fired, the arrow piercing the wind and striking the spider's abdomen. The next second, the spider's name and health bar appeared above its head.
[Venomous Spider] (Level 4) Health: 270/334
The spider spat out green venom from its mouthparts, and as its abdomen slightly contracted, Yu Xunge dodged. At the same time, he spread his five fingers and launched a magic missile that could automatically lock onto its target without needing to be aimed.
Once she stood still, she immediately stopped drawing her magic bow, aimed, and fired.
Yu Xunge has virtually no openings. This is a skill she honed in her past life. Even if she rolls to dodge skills, even if she falls face down in a sorry state, even if she turns to run away, she will still use her skills to bite off a piece of flesh from her opponent.
Unlike elite players who love ultimate skills, Yu Xunge prefers skills with short casting and cooldown times that can be cast while moving. No matter how powerful the damage is, it's all for naught if you can't hit. Ultimate skills usually have long casting times and are too easy to be interrupted. Moreover, once they are dodged, it's no different from wasting mana to set off fireworks.
A magic missile only deals 5 damage to a spider, compared to the 60+ damage from a single arrow. However, the magic missile fires rapidly, releasing 2-3 bursts of magic energy per second. It doesn't require chanting, can be fired and deactivated at any time, making it ideal for use while dodging or running.
In her past life, many of her pursuers didn't die from her ultimate move, but from her magical missiles.
Two more arrows were fired, and the spider pounced towards Yu Xunge. Yu Xunge used [Push Shot] to push the spider away, then fired two more arrows, plus a few magic missiles, and the level 4 spider's health was reduced to 0.
Yu Xunge walked over while still holding the bow, and used his foot to flip the spider over, revealing a pair of boots that gleamed green underneath.
As expected of her, she shipped it out so quickly!!
She picked up the boots.
【Spider Silk Boots】(Excellent quality)
[Bonus Attribute]: Intelligence +3
[Magic Attribute]: +6% Movement Speed
Good, two bonuses.
She immediately found a safe place to change into her boots.
Looking at the experience points, with the experience bonus from killing monsters above her level, her experience increased by 0.01%. That means killing 100 spiders would give her a 1% experience bonus, which is much faster than killing skeleton wolves.
But that wasn't enough; she wanted to kill even higher-level monsters.
Although the Thief God's "I want this, this, and this" has a rule that she cannot target beings weaker than herself, meaning she cannot steal items and attributes from people of lower levels, she never considered suppressing her level for this reason.
