Chapter 26
: Frenzied Leveling Up!
After completing the transaction, Qingyanwu immediately took her leave, equipped with the Tiger Soul Bow, and headed aggressively towards the swamp in the southern district.
Jiang Yan continued to wait in place, and after more than half an hour, the Dark Flame finally arrived.
"Brother, sorry to keep you waiting!" Darkfire saw Jiang Yan and hurriedly came up to request a trade.
At present, most players use basic equipment, but top-quality basic equipment is still rare. The few pieces of basic equipment that Jiang Yan has can greatly enhance the strength of the experts on their side.
"Running around the map is indeed painful, I understand." Jiang Yan didn't waste any time and quickly completed the transaction with him.
To be honest, after selling the Tiger Soul Bow for the sky-high price of 800 gold, Jiang Yan really looked down on this small deal worth only 7 gold, but what could he do when he had already agreed to Darkfire's offer?
"Brother, it was a pleasure working with you. Contact me again if you need any more equipment." Darkfire said this and then hurried away.
Jiang Yan didn't linger and headed towards the northern mine.
Next, he plans to focus on upgrading.
He's a hidden class. Once he reaches level 10, he can master his second skill without going to the main city. At that point, what boss in the newbie village can't he defeat?
Arriving at the North District mine, it was bustling with people, especially the second mine on the left, where conflicts occurred constantly due to the presence of that high-level leveling spot, making it very lively.
Players also entered and exited the other mines, but the number of players was relatively small.
Jiang Yan discreetly entered the middle mine shaft.
The terrain of the middle mine is extremely complex, with numerous branching passages that meander and connect, forming a vast labyrinth.
If someone else were to come in, they could easily lose their way.
But Jiang Yan was different; he could see the hidden information. Using this information, he successfully navigated the maze in an hour and a half.
Further ahead lies a massive mining tunnel.
The mine tunnel was about twenty meters wide and ten meters high, and its depth was unfathomable. Jiang Yan carefully entered, and before he had gone far, the ground beneath his feet began to undulate rapidly. Amidst a series of cracking sounds, a large number of skeletons emerged!
Skeleton Warrior: lv6
Health: 1200
Skills: Slash (unleashes a sword aura, severely injuring the target), Leap Slash (leaps high into the air, with a very small chance to deal critical damage).
Skeleton Mage: lv7
Health: 900
Skills: Dark Fireball (a variant of Fireball that deals significant burst damage), Resist Fire Ring (can forcibly push away nearby players).
Jiang Yan looked up and saw that at the same time, countless skeletons seemed to emerge from the bottomless mine shaft. They appeared densely, filling the deep mine tunnel like locusts!
Jiang Yan's face turned somewhat pale.
Even though I was prepared, seeing so many skeletons still gave me the creeps.
Many ants can kill an elephant; so many skeletons could drown him with a single spit from each of them!
Jiang Yan quickly retreated to a safe distance and then chanted a lightning spell.
boom!
-1945!
Crimson critical strike damage numbers floated above the head of a skeleton warrior.
[Ding~ Congratulations to the player for killing the skeleton warrior, experience +90]
Jiang Yan is currently level 8, and he gets significantly less experience when fighting level 6 skeleton warriors.
Fortunately, there are countless skeleton warriors here, enough to make up for it!
As the Lightning Bolt spell entered its cooldown period, Jiang Yan chanted the Great Fireball spell.
boom!
A massive fireball struck a skeleton mage, dealing -165 damage.
The skeleton mage screamed and unleashed a dark fireball at Jiang Yan.
At the same time, the skeletons surrounding the skeleton mage also launched an attack on Jiang Yan.
Jiang Yan quickly dodged the dark fireball while chanting a lightning spell.
boom!
As the lightning struck, the skeleton mage shattered.
[Ding~ Congratulations to the player for killing the Skeleton Mage, experience +100]
Without pausing, Jiang Yan immediately began chanting the Great Fireball spell, followed by the Lightning spell.
He chanted his two skills in turn, unleashing a torrent of lightning and fireballs. The skeletons were no match for him, falling down on average every 2.25 seconds!
[Ding~ Congratulations to the player for killing the Skeleton Mage, experience +100]
[Ding~ Congratulations to the player for killing the skeleton warrior, experience +90]
[Ding~ Congratulations to the player for killing the skeleton warrior, experience +90]
[Ding~ Congratulations to the player for killing the Skeleton Mage, experience +100]
……
Seeing the rapidly increasing experience points, Jiang Yan was overjoyed!
If he goes to the Earth Bear territory to level up, given the distribution of Earth Bears, it will take him at least two and a half hours to reach level 9!
But here, you can get 95 experience points every 2.25 seconds on average, which is 2533 experience points per minute. You can reach level 9 in just 20 minutes!
Efficiency increased by at least seven times!!
"This is the perfect place to level up!" Jiang Yanxin exclaimed with delight.
Moreover, the probability of skeletons dropping silver coins is very high. In less than five minutes, the ground was already covered with silver coins!
As Jiang Yan ventured deeper, he collected gold coins and also found a few pieces of basic equipment.
Jiang Yan's arms were sore from picking them up!
Ten minutes later, Jiang Yan glanced at the balance in his backpack: 861 gold, 15 silver, and 13 copper.
In addition, there are four blank sets.
Most importantly, his experience bar also skyrocketed: lv8 (26785/50000).
In ten more minutes, I'll reach level 9!
Jiang Yan became more and more excited as he fought!
Suddenly, he noticed a message from a friend.
He opened it and saw it was Zhao Shanshan, his roommate, whose ID was "Chongshan Junling".
Chongshan Junling: Jiang Yan, you bastard went to buy food. What did you bring back for me?
Jiang Yan glanced at the time; it was already past seven in the evening!
He didn't even realize that time was passing!
"I'll order a plate of eggplant and pork over rice." Jiang Yan replied quickly, then continued leveling up.
Jiang Yan's dormitory, 1818, was closest to the first canteen. Sun Cairen rushed to the first canteen, bought food for several brothers, and returned. The round trip took exactly ten minutes!
[Ding~ Congratulations on reaching level 9! You are rewarded with 4 free attribute points]
In the game, Jiang Yan quickly added all his attribute points to Spirit and then exited the game.
Goooo!
As soon as Jiang Yan took off his gaming helmet, he felt a rumbling in his stomach, followed by the aroma of food from the dormitory.
"I'm starving." Jiang Yan quickly got out of bed, grabbed his eggplant and pork rice bowl, and started showing it off.
Zhao Shanshan, Lei Hu, and Sun Cairen were also wolfing down their food and exchanging game tips.
"I've leveled up to level 5 and am now hunting wild boars in the western forest," Zhao Shanshan said. "The drop rate in this lousy game is really low. It's been almost a day and a night, and I've only gotten one piece of basic equipment."
"I'm lucky, I have two." Sun Cairen turned on her computer and browsed the game forum as she spoke.
"I just want to leave the newbie village as soon as possible, and live happily ever after with Chu Meiren, leveling up together." Lei Hu showed off his pig's trotters, his mouth dripping with oil.
"I'm already level 9, so I guess it won't be long before I leave the newbie village," Jiang Yan said smugly.
"Level 9? Impossible!" Zhao Shanshan refused to believe it: "The highest level in our newbie village is only level 7! And that's by quickly leveling up by finishing off enemies."
Jiang Yan chuckled and didn't argue.
"Holy crap!!" Just then, Sun Cairen suddenly screamed.
"What's your name, you bastard?" *3 Jiang Yan and the other two asked in perfect unison.
"You guys are the jerks." Sun Cai Ren rolled her eyes, then moved aside and pointed to a post on the forum, saying, "Look, a pro player got a silver item!!"
Jiang Yan was shocked. The Peak was indeed full of hidden talents. He didn't expect that besides himself, there were other experts who had obtained silver equipment!
He peeked out and saw that the silver-plated weapon was none other than the Tiger Soul Bow!
The real master is myself?
