As Lin Yi walked out of the Slime Forest, a towering high mountain greeted him.
At the foot of the mountain, Level 6 demonic boars with black bodies and two fangs kept darting to and fro.
At this moment, Lin Yi summoned his attribute panel:
Character: Feng Hua
Level: 3
Experience for Upgrade: 45/500
Profession: Basic Mage
Blood Value: 160-160
Mana: 225-225
Constitution: +5
Power: +5
Intelligence: +25
Agility: +5
Physical Damage: 5-15
Magic Damage: 30-75
Physical Defense: 36
Magic Defense: 18
Luck Value: 5
Aside from the Fireball Technique, Level 3 Lin Yi had also acquired one more skill: Fireball Technique.
The Fireball Technique is an upgraded version of the Fireball Technique, increasing damage while also raising consumption and charging time considerably.
Besides this, the equipment currently on Lin Yi should be the most complete. They're as follows:
Loose Robe Lv1—Ordinary
Cotton Pants Lv0—Ordinary
Sage's Magic Staff Lv3—Rare
Leather Gloves Lv1—Ordinary
Deerskin Belt Lv0—Ordinary
Damaged Hood Lv0—Ordinary
Cotton Shoes Lv0—Ordinary
Shattered Ring Lv1—Ordinary
Rough Necklace Lv2—Ordinary
The Sage's Magic Staff was the first piece of Rare Equipment Lin Yi had acquired, equipping it grants an additional 5 Intelligence points, which almost gives Lin Yi an entire level's worth of damage increase.
After all, in this game, leveling up only grants 5 free attribute points.
As for the rest, they are just ordinary equipment, not much else to say about them.
For a low-level monster like a slime, having two pieces of Rare Equipment appear was already very surprising to Lin Yi.
Lin Yi took a glance at the terrain, found a spot with fewer monsters, and gazed toward the mountains full of demonic boars.
In Lin Yi's eyes, these demonic boars had turned into moving equipment caches, with almost every boar carrying the phantom of one or two pieces of equipment.
However, that trace of blue stood out sharply among them.
A piece of Rare quality equipment, and it's a cloak, which has a relatively low drop rate.
Seeing this, Lin Yi didn't hesitate anymore, carefully skirted around the demonic boars' line of sight, and found a wide-open space to start channeling the Fireball Technique.
A watermelon-sized fireball, trailing intense heat, flew towards that demonic boar and hit it,
"Bang!"
"-79"
"-2"
"-2"
"-2"
Just one skill caused a significant drop in the demonic boar's blood value. Feeling the human provocation, the demonic boar howled and charged at Lin Yi.
As the demonic boar was about to get close, the channeling for another Fireball Technique had finished,
"Bang"
"-40"
"-1"
"-1"
"-1"
After taking two skills from Lin Yi, the demonic boar's blood value began to flicker.
However, given the demonic boar's speed, it was clear that Lin Yi wouldn't have another chance to channel a spell.
Just as the demonic boar was about to collide with Lin Yi, Lin Yi made a seemingly casual sidestep, narrowly dodging the demonic boar's attack in the nick of time.
The demonic boar, having missed its target with too much force, continued its charge for a distance before finally coming to a halt.
Feeling tricked, the demonic boar was furious, to the point where Lin Yi could clearly see bluish smoke puffing out of its nostrils.
Lin Yi, however, was unfazed, and another Fireball Technique had finished channeling,
"Bang"
"-42"
"-1"
"-1"
"-1"
The demonic boar let out a reluctant howl before collapsing to the ground, dropping the blue cloak that Lin Yi had seen.
Sylvie's Cloak
Armor
Quality: Rare
Physical Defense: 12
Magic Defense: 15
Blood Value: 20
Usage Level: 3
Additional Attribute 1: Constitution +5
Additional Attribute 2: Upon being attacked, 10% chance to trigger Sylvie's Blessing, restoring 10 blood value per second, lasting for 5 seconds.
The cloak once used by Sylvie in her younger days, as time has passed, seems to have already lost its former glory.
Looking at the equipment in front of him, Lin Yi's eyes lit up, not only was it a top-tier double attribute but it also had a healing attribute.
Although the word 'probability' is often unreliable, there are times when such chance might produce unexpected effects.
However, for Lin Yi, this attribute was really dispensable.
In this game, there is a term called: no-damage monster farming.
The process of Lin Yi taking down the boar seemed casual, but it was actually the result of Lin Yi's careful calculations.
In other words, all of this was within Lin Yi's expectations.
No matter the profession, unless faced with a homing-type attack, it's generally possible to dodge skills through positioning or other means, avoiding damage altogether.
Monsters like boars, though seemingly fierce, are actually clumsy.
If one is inclined, dodging a boar's attack is quite simple, at least for Lin Yi.
Of course, this situation is limited to one-on-one scenarios.
For one-on-two or more, for a physically weak mage, it's clearly impossible to farm monsters without taking damage.
According to calculations, with full mana, Lin Yi could continuously kill four demonic boars before needing to meditate and recover once.
Based on the experience given by the demonic boars, Lin Yi would have to farm at least 11 demonic boars here to level up.
With this goal in mind, Lin Yi began his leveling grind.
Thanks to the ability of seeing through, Lin Yi naturally wouldn't miss those chubby figures with equipment roaming aimlessly on the mountain slopes. It was a perfect chance to both level up and farm equipment.
The only slight disappointment was that what could be seen were mostly white board equipment and some dispensable materials.
Time slipped by as Lin Yi relentlessly farmed monsters,
Just as Lin Yi had just leveled up to 4, a thought crossed his mind,
There's a thief!
And it's one that's learned Stealth.
This made Lin Yi exclaim in surprise.
Isn't Stealth a skill only learnable by thieves after a level 10 job change?
Most people were still around level 2, and yet someone had already learned Stealth.
Even though he was a reincarnator, Lin Yi couldn't pull off something this unscientific.
...
Not far from Lin Yi, beside a large boulder.
A man hidden in the shadows also wore a face of shock as he looked at the man standing amidst a pile of demonic boar bodies.
While others were still fighting tooth and nail over a single deer, this person could already solo farm level 6 monsters.
If this weren't witnessed firsthand, no one would believe it if told.
Feng Hua?
Didn't recall hearing this name in other games.
Could it be some legendary gaming expert in hiding?
Better not provoke.
Just as Red Eyes was planning to slip away quietly, a voice suddenly rang out,
"Stop hiding, come out."
Red Eyes' foot, which was about to take a step, suddenly paused,
This guy kidding me?
How could he possibly see me under Stealth?
But exactly because of this, Red Eyes was even more determined to leave.
Such acute awareness isn't something an ordinary player has.
This person must be a seasoned divine-level player.
For such a person, Red Eyes preferred not to have any dealings.
But Red Eyes' wishes didn't align with Lin Yi's.
Lin Yi, confident and assured, said loudly:
"Aren't you just hiding behind those two steles?"
At this moment, Red Eyes was genuinely stunned.
A thin figure suddenly appeared from behind two ordinary-looking steles.
Red Eyes' eyes were full of confusion and bewilderment,
"How did you discover me?"
"Red Eyes!"
At this moment, Lin Yi was the one surprised, looking at this thin man.
If asked who shone the most three years after the launch of "Glory of the Gods" following the "War of the Gods" expansion in the previous life?
It wasn't the drunken president of the first guild with the title Demon Slaying War God Shengshi; nor was it the stunning beauty who suddenly topped the beauty ranking, Mirror.
It was the man in front of him who seemed frail but was actually incredibly powerful, known as the King in the Shadows: Red Eyes.
