Chapter 5: 5, Level 3 monsters, Instant kill! _1

Translator: 549690339

Area full of wild creatures just outside the beginner’s village.

Su Yu entered the game half an hour later than everyone else, and the area was already packed with players.

The leveling speed in “Evolution” is extremely slow.

Killing a level 1 Slime only awards 1 experience point, while leveling up from level 1 to level 2 requires 1000 points of experience.

You need to kill a whopping 1000 Slimes just to level up once!

That’s why the level 1 wild area is filled with players.

Everyone is scattered around, and as soon as a Slime reappears, 5 or 6 attack spells are thrown its way. The competition is fierce.

Su Yu didn’t plan on fighting for monsters with everyone else, so he headed directly to the higher-level monster area.

There are fewer players in the area for level 2 Goblins.

Because a level 1 newbie can’t beat a level 2 creature alone, the people there are often part of teams of 3 to 4, working together to take down a Goblin.

At the entrance of the creature area, a middle-aged warrior with a scruffy beard and a lively young female assassin are discussing something.

Seeing Su Yu enter the area, the young woman’s eyes lit up and she walked over to him:

“Friend, would you like to team up for creature hunting? We have two people in our team right now, and with you, we could start!”

Su Yu looked at her name hovering above her head.

“Snow Fall”, a very poetic name.

But he just smiled kindly: “I think I’ll pass!”

He then pointed at the area for level 3 wild creatures: “I’ll go check out over there.”

“Young man, don’t waste your time over there.” The middle-aged uncle marched towards Su Yu and advised, “My daughter and I just came back from the level 3 creature area. Leveling up there requires a team of five people, including a priest, and it’s not efficient.”

The middle-aged uncle’s name was “Snow Balm”, similar in style to his daughter’s.

Something didn’t feel right.

“No worries, I just want to take a look.”

Su Yu rejected their kindness and headed towards the level 3 wild creature area.

Watching Su Yu’s receding figure, the middle-aged uncle shrugged and said to his daughter: “Luo Luo, it seems we need to team up with someone else.”

“Yeah! He’s quite handsome, but he doesn’t seem very smart.” Snow Fall made a face at Su Yu’s retreating figure.

Off in the distance, Su Yu heard their conversation and couldn’t help but wipe his sweat.

His appearance had already been toned down by 40%, and he was still considered “quite handsome”?

It seems like becoming a normal person is really difficult!

…

Upon arriving at the level 3 wild creature area, there were very few players.

Looking from a distance, Su Yu could only see three five-person teams leveling up here.

The level 3 creature was called a “Black Boar”, with 50 health points.

The attacks of the five-person teams only dealt “-2” or “-3” damage to the Boar.

Moreover, after scrimmaging for a while, either the priests would run out of mana or the warriors would run out of health. Leveling up was tough.

Su Yu avoided these people and chose a secluded spot where no one could see him to start his grind.

He waved his wand and cast his spell skillfully.

Half a second later, a Magic Bullet the size of an apple shot out from the tip of his wand and hit the unsuspecting Black Boar.

-60!

A huge number appeared.

The Black Boar collapsed at the sound!

With merely one hit, the level 3 Boar was instantly killed by Su Yu!

I wonder what the teams nearby would think if they saw this.

The system log also notified him:

“Ding! You killed a lv3 Black Boar and gained 3 experience points.”

Unfortunately, the Black Boar did not drop any items.

“The legendary bloodline sure is powerful!” Su Yu exclaimed in his mind:

“If I hadn’t drawn the ‘Star Bloodline,’ I’d probably still be desperately fighting over Slimes. Now, my leveling speed has increased exponentially!”

Of course, besides the legendary bloodline, having money was also a necessary requirement.

After all, he spent 1100 spiritual energy coins to level up Magic Bullet.

Currently, a level 1 newbie can only earn 8 to 15 spiritual energy coins from a full day of grinding.

If you’re broke, even with a legendary bloodline, the early-game advantage isn’t that noticeable.

“With this method of leveling up, I believe I can reach level 2 in just a few minutes!”

Su Yu became invigorated and threw himself into the career of attacking (slaughtering) wild boars.

He wielded the wand in his right hand, releasing [Magic Bullet], while his left hand continuously activated [Fireball] and [Ice Arrow] scrolls.

A [Magic Bullet] could kill a wild boar in one hit, and a single spell scroll could also crush one.

Not a single [Black Wild Boar] could resist Su Yu’s attack, falling to the ground in droves.

Su Yu gradually advanced, gradually sweeping through half of the monster area.

…

10 minutes later, in the level 2 monster area.

Snow Fall and her father still couldn’t find suitable teammates.

After refusing several lecherous male players’ invites to join the team, she looked towards the level 3 monster area on her tiptoes:

“Dad, why hasn’t that ‘Nemesis’ come back yet? He wasn’t killed by the wild boar, was he?”

“Who am I supposed to ask if you’re asking me?” Snow Balm, carrying his shield, suddenly said: “Luo Luo, you haven’t fallen for that young man, have you?”

“Certainly not! How is that possible?” Snow Fall rolled her eyes: “Who falls in love at first sight? Do you think this is a TV drama?”

“Haha, you can’t fool me, your mother gave me the same look when she first saw me.” Snow Balm laughed heartily.

Snow Fall turned red and stomped her foot, looking like she was about to blow up.

Snow Balm quickly changed the subject:

“Cough cough, since we have some time now, why don’t we go to the level 3 monster area and look for that young man? He might be on his way back.”

“Um… okay.” Snow Fall strangely nodded her head.

…

Meanwhile, after 10 minutes of “great boar slaughter”, Su Yu had accumulated 1000 experience points and successfully levelled up to lv2.

Although he entered the game half an hour later than other players, he caught up with the first cohort after grinding monsters for 10 minutes!

Unfortunately, in “Evolution”, the rate of equipment dropping from monsters is quite low.

In these 10 minutes, Su Yu had slain over 300 wild boars. Apart from harvesting some [Wild Boar Meat], [Wild Boar Hide], [Wild Boar Bone] and other materials, only three pieces of equipment dropped, two of which were for other classes.

Only one piece of [Cloth Boots (Normal)] was suitable for Su Yu, and he upgraded them to a rare quality.

[Cloth Boots (Rare)]

Defense +10

Movement Speed +0.4

Intelligence +3

The “+0.4 Movement Speed” means that you can walk an extra 0.4 meter per second.

Su Yu’s initial movement speed was “1.2”, meaning he walks at 1.2 meters per second and runs at 6 meters per second.

With the [Cloth Boots], his walking speed increased to 1.6 meters per second and running speed to 8 meters per second, which was significantly faster than others.
