After seeing the young man die, Xin Zhongze finally checked his personal panel.
Just now, after fighting with the two young men, his health had dropped by more than eighty points.
Xin Zhongze took out gold injury medicine and continuously consumed several bottles, which allowed his health to recover to full value.
After his health recovered, Xin Zhongze began to clear the Demonic Corpses.
Now, Xin Zhongze was very experienced in clearing Demonic Corpses; he could always manage to attract only one Demonic Corpse without alarming other monsters.
A few minutes later, a group of Demonic Corpses were all cleared by Xin Zhongze.
After clearing the Demonic Corpses, Xin Zhongze then came to the body of the young man who had been killed and picked up the items in the bubble.
After the young man died, he dropped an ebony sword, a piece of cloth armor, a Wooden Sword, and a dagger.
Xin Zhongze couldn't use the ebony sword yet; he already had 3 of them, but he could use them when he reached level 4.
The Wooden Sword and dagger were also useless.
The only thing useful to him was that piece of cloth armor.
So Xin Zhongze decisively equipped this cloth armor.
In this situation, Xin Zhongze's defense, just from the cloth armor, added 6-6 physical defense and 0-3 magic defense to him.
In this situation, his physical defense directly reached 11 points.
As long as a monster's attack power did not exceed 11 points, it couldn't even break his defense.
For example, a level 2 Demonic Corpse, with only 10 attack points, could not break his defense.
Of course, this required a level 2 Demonic Corpse to use a skill.
The Demonic Corpse's skill, Infection, could double its attack power and come with a poison effect.
If Xin Zhongze was hit by the Demonic Corpse's skill, he would lose 9 health points per second for 5 seconds, which equaled 40 health points.
...
After picking up the equipment dropped by the young man, Xin Zhongze thought for a moment, then quickly ran towards the body of the first young man he had killed.
Soon, Xin Zhongze arrived near the body of the first young man he had killed and saw that there was also a bubble above the young man's body.
He picked up the bubble.
Then Xin Zhongze obtained a piece of male cloth armor, a piece of female cloth armor, an ebony sword, a Wooden Sword...
"Not bad, I got another piece of armor and an ebony sword."
Xin Zhongze nodded with satisfaction.
However, so many items directly filled Xin Zhongze's backpack capacity.
After thinking for a moment, Xin Zhongze directly returned to Novice Village and sold the Wooden Sword, the dagger, and the female cloth armor to the NPC, earning a total of over a hundred copper coins.
Afterward, Xin Zhongze replenished some gold injury medicine, and then continued to grind monsters in the wilderness.
More than an hour later, Xin Zhongze, equipped with three ebony swords and three pieces of cloth armor, directly fought his way through the level 2 Demonic Corpse area and arrived at the level 3 Demonic Corpse area.
Demonic Corpse (Level 3, Health 300, Attack 12, Defense 9, Speed 12, Skill: Infection...)
The level 3 Demonic Corpse had 2 more attack points, 2 more defense points, and 1 more speed point than the level 2 one.
However, such stats still couldn't cause much damage to Xin Zhongze.
However, the level 3 Demonic Corpse's health increased by another hundred points, which meant Xin Zhongze had to stab it several more times to kill it.
When killing level 3 monsters, Xin Zhongze returned to gaining 1 experience point per kill.
In this situation, he only needed to kill over a hundred more level 3 Demonic Corpses to level up to level 4.
More than an hour later, Xin Zhongze successfully dropped a piece of equipment.
bronze ring: Requires Level 3, Attack 0-1, Durability 8, Weight 4.
"Good stuff."
Without hesitation, Xin Zhongze equipped it directly.
A bronze ring directly increased Xin Zhongze's attack upper limit by 1 point.
Another hour later, Xin Zhongze successfully leveled up from level 3 to level 4.
After leveling up, Xin Zhongze once again gained five free attribute points. Without hesitation, Xin Zhongze directly added all 5 free attribute points to magic attack.
Physical attack, defense, and agility could all be stacked with equipment, so he had to consider learning magic later.
In addition, Xin Zhongze once again equipped an ebony sword and a piece of male cloth armor.
After leveling up, Xin Zhongze's panel became like this:
【Name: Xin Zhongze.
Profession: Mage.
Level: 4 (0.5 / 400)
Health: 400 / 400.
Attack: 5 (16-34).
Magic Attack: 10 (0-4).
Defense: 5 (8-8).
Magic Defense: 5 (0-4).
Agility: 15 (+1).
Spirit: 10.
Weight: 47 / 65
Unique Ability: Equipment slots can be infinitely stacked.
Equipment:
ebony sword (Level Requirement 1, Attack 16-32, Weight 8, Durability 32).
cloth armor: (Male, Requires Level 1, Defense 8-8, Magic Defense 0-4, Durability 20, Weight 5.).
gold necklace: (Requires Level 2, Physical Attack 0-1, Agility +1, Durability 8, Weight 1.)
bronze ring: Requires Level 3, Physical Attack 0-1, Durability 5, Weight 1.
...】
At this moment, Xin Zhongze's attack reached a maximum of 39 points, and his defense reached 13 points.
In this situation, he could completely nullify the normal attacks of level 3 Demonic Corpses.
So, after thinking about it, Xin Zhongze directly chose to fight his way through the level 3 Demonic Corpse area and head to the level 4 Demonic Corpse area.
Half an hour later, Xin Zhongze arrived in the level 4 area.
However, contrary to Xin Zhongze's imagination, the level 4 monsters were not Demonic Corpses, but a type of monster called Demonic Wolf.
Demonic Wolf (Level 4, Health 400, Attack 15, Defense 10, Speed 13, Skill: Infection...)
The Demonic Wolf's attack was 3 points higher than the level 3 Demonic Corpse, its defense was 1 point higher, and its speed also increased by 1 point.
However, the Demonic Wolf's skill was the same as the Demonic Corpse's: Infection.
The only thing Xin Zhongze was grateful for was that regardless of whether it was a level 1 or level 4 monster, the aggro range was the same, both being 10 meters.
-29.
-24.
-1.
-22.
-2.
Xin Zhongze continuously attacked the Demonic Wolf.
He found that when facing non-human monsters, his weak point attacks didn't appear with every sword strike.
Moreover, he also found that after the Demonic Wolf's agility reached 13 points, it could also attack him.
However, the Demonic Wolf's attack was only 15 points, and facing Xin Zhongze's 13 points of defense, it could at most cause 2 points of damage.
At the same time, Xin Zhongze also found that when monsters used skills, there would be a one-second charge-up, so he would fully dodge when monsters released skills.
Xin Zhongze easily killed the Demonic Wolf.
However, when he killed a Demonic Wolf, he would also lose seven or eight points of health.
If he killed two Demonic Wolves, he would need to consume a bottle of gold injury medicine.
So very quickly, Xin Zhongze found that his potions were running out.
Fortunately, when killing monsters, for every level the monster's level increased, the copper coins obtained after killing the monster would increase by 1.
So, he had enough money to buy medicine.
It took him more than ten minutes to return to Novice Village to replenish his potions, and then he returned to the level 4 monster area to continue grinding.
Two hours later, Xin Zhongze's experience had reached 243.5 / 400.
In this situation, he would be able to level up from level 4 to level 5 in just another two hours.
However, Xin Zhongze had been keeping an eye on the time, and it was almost 7 AM, so Xin Zhongze had to log out of the game.
In addition, while leveling up in the level 4 area, Xin Zhongze once again dropped a piece of equipment.
iron bracelet: Requires Level 3, Accuracy +1, Durability 4, Weight 1.
A level 3 iron bracelet added 1 point of accuracy.
With the iron bracelet equipped, Xin Zhongze found that the probability of him dealing critical damage after hitting a monster significantly increased.
Therefore, this iron bracelet was also a good item.
