Chapter Thirteen: Apprentice Archer

  In the vocational guild, instructors of various professions stood in a row. Of course, in this small village, they didn't have good treatment either, and their clothes were also quite shabby. The instructors of the Berserker, Knight, and Swordsman classes all wore sleeveless shirts, revealing their strong muscles. The instructors of the Mage and Priest classes both wore coarse linen robes. The Assassin instructor hid in the darkness, gazing at everything around him. The Archer instructor was a beautiful female NPC, wearing simple leather armor, her enticing figure almost bursting out from under the armor!

  I felt a great sense of relief and walked up to the beautiful archer without hesitation, saying: "I want to join!"

  The NPC looked at me and said: "The great God of Light grants us power, brave warrior, from now on, you are a member of the Archery Guild!"

  "Whoosh!"

  My title has changed, and I've become a "Probationary Archer"!

  "Ding!"

  System Prompt: Congratulations, you have been employed as the 5th apprentice archer in this new village. Go find your mentor and talk to her, she will teach you the basic skills of this profession!

  "Ding!"

  System Prompt: Your attribute growth has changed——

  Power: 6 stars

  Physical Strength: 5 stars

  Agility: 10 stars

  Intelligence: 6 stars

  The number of stars represents the growth of attributes, 10 points of strength, if the star level is 10, then it can increase the character's attack power by 10-10, but for a 6-star, it can only increase by 6-6. This is the reason why different professions develop in different directions. Therefore, the true physical attacker king must be a level 10 strength star warrior and swordsman!

  ……

  I was slightly shocked, originally thinking that my upgrade speed was fast enough, but I didn't expect that four people had already taken the job of archer before me. To say this, in the entire novice village, there should be no less than 50 people who have taken jobs, and only in the southeastern region of China, there are no less than a hundred such novice villages...

  MD, I estimate my ranking will be outside of 10,000!

  Walk up to the archer instructor MM, open the chat window, and indeed there is an item for learning skills.

  After re-entering, I saw three skills shining in front of me. The first one was Basic Archery, and the other two were Fire Arrow and Ice Arrow.

  [Basic Archery]: Passive skill, increases archer's hit rate and damage to a certain extent.

  [Flare Arrow]: Launches a fire-type arrow guided by flames.

  Ice Arrow: Guided by frost, fires an ice-type arrow.

  After taking a look at the tuition fees for the next semester, I couldn't help but be shocked!

  Learning basic archery requires 50 silver coins, while learning Fire Arrow and Ice Arrow each require 5 gold coins!

  The server is only open for a short 8 hours, it's almost impossible to get that many gold coins! However, I sold a bronze-grade armor and earned 20 gold coins, which came in handy here!

  So I quickly learned all three skills, spent a lot of savings, and still had 12 gold coins left!

  He happened to learn the broken armor arrow as well, and suddenly four skills appeared in his skill bar, all of which were primary level.

  [Basic Archery] (Novice): Proficiency 10000/0, does not consume MP.

  【Fire Arrow】 (Basic): Proficiency 10000/0, consumes 5 MP.

  Ice Arrow (Basic): Proficiency 10000/0, consumes 5 MP.

  【Piercing Arrow】 (Basic): Proficiency 10000/0, consumes 10 MP.

  ……

  After checking my personal attributes, I found that my total MP is only 120 points, which can't be used for many times. In order to increase familiarity, it seems that I must buy some blue potions and carry them with me.

  At this time, I saw the words of the ranking list at the bottom of the interface, so I opened it and saw a series of rankings in front of me, including: level ranking list, equipment ranking list and reputation ranking list.

  First, I took a look at the ranking list and was surprised to find that the highest level player has already reached level 16. Even the tenth place has a height of level 15! Moreover, among the top ten players in the ranking list, Chinese players occupy four seats.

  Selected from the rankings of Chinese players, surprisingly, the first place was occupied by a female mage named "Qingfeng Lanyue"!

  MD, a woman can actually level up so high, it's really abnormal!

  I muttered to myself, opened the equipment ranking list, and was shocked to find that my golden bow was at the top of the list, far surpassing the second-place bronze giant sword! Of course, silver equipment is a whole tier higher than bronze, so it's natural for the points to be much higher. And, the attributes of the golden bow are simply fierce! A normal 15-level bronze bow with 50 damage points would already be quite good, but the golden bow has an astonishing 125 damage points - if this attribute were to be revealed, it would surely scare many people to death!

  I smiled slightly, thinking to myself that it wasn't bad at all. At least I had one piece of equipment that was top-notch. Although my level wasn't higher than that female mage called Qingfeng Lanyue, if we were to PK, with my Golden Bow, I would definitely have a 90% chance of one-shotting her!

  Looked at my own level, 12th level experience 92%, actually not much different, let alone I haven't handed in the task of clearing the sentry post, spent 6 hours collecting 100 badges, should be a decent reward!

  I arrived at the village chief's place and found that this old man was looking outwards, as soon as he saw me coming, he immediately showed a smile, his face looked like a split orange peel.

  "Young man, you've actually done it! These detestable liquid monsters are truly detestable. You've really helped our village out a lot. Come on, this is your reward!"

  "Ding!"

  System Prompt: Congratulations on completing the task [Clearing the Outpost], you have gained 50,000 experience points, obtained 5 gold coins, reputation +250, and received the quest reward [Windwalker]!

  "Whooshing" sounds, the rich experience of task rewards directly leveled me up to 14th level. Upon closer inspection of the detailed experience, I found that I only need 98 more points to reach 15th level!

  I was overjoyed and opened the package to look at the equipment inside—

  Wind Dancer (Bronze Equipment - Leather Armor)

  Defense: 24

  Agility: +4

  Vitality: +2

  Required level: 10

  ……

  A pair of leather boots, just what I need now. The original wilderness combat boots can no longer be worn. Archers cannot wear armor, only leather armor. Now the wilderness combat boots are obediently lying in the package. Moreover, even the micro-light battle axe has automatically removed itself from the equipment, and archers can only equip bows, arrows, and dagger-like weapons.

  Now it's become bare-handed, fortunately killing a few more monsters to accumulate 100 experience points can level up to 15, after equipping the golden bow, it can be said that the rifle has been replaced with a cannon!

  I burst out laughing and walked into the square of Newbie Village, shouting loudly: "Black Iron Armor Boots for sale, hurry up and buy!"

  In an instant, the square burst open, and countless silly birds rushed in, stretching their necks and shouting: "Is someone selling black iron equipment? I'm going! Hurry up and take a look, even if you can't afford it, just take a look!"

  In just a few minutes, I was surrounded and unable to move, but there were only a handful of people who could afford it. In the end, a small warrior spent 5 gold coins to buy the Wild Boots, after all, they were just black iron equipment, and in another day or two, they would be absolutely worthless, so selling them early was definitely the wise choice!

  Then, he simply sold the Faint Light War Axe as well and got 10 gold coins in return. The demand for weapons was higher than that of equipment, so the price was also much higher.

  I once again had 27 gold coins, so I came to the pharmacy and directly bought a large package of low-level red and blue potions, which cost less than 7 gold coins in total. Next, I went to the armory and bought several bottles of iron arrows, these arrows increased my attack power by 1 point, which should be enough for a long time.

  Looked around at the players, basically they were all busy leveling up, only occasionally returning to the village to replenish supplies or repair equipment.

  So, I hid my name again and took the Golden Bow from the warehouse. Of course, it's just called the Golden Bow, but its actual rank is Silver Equipment level. If I were to bring out a Gold-level equipment now, nobody else would have a chance...

  The village is basically surrounded by players, and I don't think there's anything else to do. So I chose the west of the village, crossed over the area where Slime was, and explored the depths of the forest. Who knows, maybe I'll get some unexpected gains!

  Along the way, I picked up a few small monsters. After a flash of golden light, I had already leveled up to 15. As soon as I equipped the Golden Bow, it appeared in my hand amidst a flash of light, shining brightly and looking great!

  The golden glow of the Golden Bow immediately caught the attention of many players. In line with the principle of low-key leveling and high-profile PK, I immediately turned off the appearance effect of the Golden Bow. Suddenly, the golden light dimmed sharply, and in an instant, the Golden Bow had become a dull-colored longbow that looked like a decent street vendor's goods!

  After equipping the Golden Bow and Windwalker, when I looked at the attributes again, even I was shocked!

  Young and Crazy Bookworm (Apprentice Archer)

  Level: 15

  Life: 440

  Attack: 125-180

  Defense: 51

  Reputation: 551

  Lucky: 0

  ……

  High attack power is scary!
