Chapter 4 Occupational Tasks

  The big yellow dog transformed into a white light and was collected by Li Yi into his bag.

  Each player has a twenty-slot backpack in the initial stage.

  From the other side of a small forest, a reed marsh appears in front, and straight ahead is a clear stream. Three players are desperately chasing after the Flame Chick that flies up and down in disorder.

  Flare Chick, Common Monster, Level 3, Attack Method: Spits small fireballs from its mouth for long-range attacks.

  The small fireballs launched by the Flame Chick's attack have only average power, but what's annoying is that they can fly. Now that the game has just started, before level 5, all professions do not have long-range attack skills. Once the Flame Chick flies into the sky, you can only stare blankly and be bombed by small fireballs.

  "This place is too freaky, no way, brothers, retreat!"

  Three players chased for half a day, but didn't kill a single Flame Chick, so they had to give up and leave the place.

  The reed field brush monster area was empty, and Li Yi waited until the Flame Chick's "hatred" state disappeared before walking up slowly.

  Flame Chicks fall to the ground one after another, chirping and foraging on the ground. They will not attack any players on their own initiative until they are attacked by a player.

  Li Yi walked up to a lone flame sparrow and stabbed it with his knife.

  Scarlet -25 flew out from the top of Flame Chick's head, and with just one slash, it took away a third of Flame Chick's blood.

  "Cuckoo——"

  The flame bird unfolded its wings and took off, while Li Yi's second knife arrived at this time.

  －28

  The Flame Chick had 10 HP left when it flew out of Li Yi's attack range, turned its head in mid-air, and a fireball shot down. Immediately afterwards, the sound of chirping grew louder, as one after another, more Flame Chicks flew into the air...

  What a pity...

  Li Yi turned around and ran away at his fastest speed, escaping from the Flame Chick's attack range.

  About forty seconds later, the Flame Robin eliminated "hatred" and fell back to the ground foraging.

  Li Yi rushed forward again, aiming at a flame bird chick, grasping his knife and stabbing...

  －28

  －39

  Blast!

  The flamingo chick fell from mid-air and died on the ground.

  Success!

  He killed a Flame Chick, and Li Yi's experience bar rose directly by 5%.

  In "King of Gods", when the player levels up, if the monster's level is more than 15 levels higher than the player's, the player will receive half the reward experience. If the player is in a team, the experience gained will be halved again. This is done to prevent exploitation of the card slot BUG to brush monsters and rocket-level up.

  The Flame Chick's experience is the highest among monsters of the same level, but for initial players who want to kill the Flame Chick, it's quite difficult. Whether you're soloing or teaming up with others, it can only withstand two attacks before flying into the air and recovering its health when it lands.

  Li Yi utilized a method that was a professional specialty of archers, with a 1% critical hit rate.

  Any profession can produce a burst hit, but only the archer profession has a 1% burst rate bonus by birth.

  Don't underestimate this 1% critical hit rate, as it can often immediately change the situation on the field when a critical hit occurs.

  Li Yi bent down and stroked the Flame Bird's body a few times.

  System Prompt: "You picked up 7 feathers."

  Li Yi rushed towards another flame bird and stabbed it with his knife...

  The new player village nearby is already overcrowded with monster-killing areas, and as soon as the monsters are refreshed, they are immediately slaughtered by dozens of people, with the experience divided among the crowd, making it negligible.

  At first, Li Yi had a hard time killing a single Flame Chick, often hitting it ten or more times without landing a critical hit. However, after he leveled up and reached level 3, things got much better.

  Attack power has risen again, even if no burst strike is made, as long as the lowest attack is not hit, basically two knives can kill a flame chick.

  It took him a full two and a half hours to go from level 2 to level 3, while it took him less than an hour to go from level 3 to level 4.

  After reaching level 4, two knives will definitely kill a Flame Chick, and the upgrade speed is also rising linearly.

  However, this situation did not last long. Li Yi's method of killing monsters was soon noticed by other players, and more and more players ran in this direction, causing the reed field to become chaotic.

  Robbery is the most shameless thing.

  These players, even if they hit a burst shot, can't kill the Flame Chick, but this isn't an instance map, and anyone can attack the refreshed monsters. After a chaotic battle, only a few Flame Chicks died, and those that flew up into the sky didn't come back down. The small fireballs wildly bombarded the players below, killing quite a few of them.

  After checking the backpack, I picked up more than 500 feathers, which can barely be used to make arrows.

  Li Yi shook his head and ran under the Flame Sparrow flock, actively accepting the baptism of small fireballs.

  Before level 10, death does not result in loss of experience or equipment. Being killed by a monster is currently the fastest way to return to town.

  "Young warrior, you've done a great job! For some reason, I see the shadow of the great archer Mu Cecil in you. This is your reward. By the way, isn't it usually that big yellow dog raised by Second Black that guards the cornfield? Why didn't I see it today? Can you help me go ask Second Black about it?"

  System Prompt: You have completed the "Kill 10 Wild Boars" task, and received a worn-out fur hat from the Village Chief and 200 experience points.

  Old felt hat (white)

  Defense +1

  Magic Defense +1

  Note: Once you put on this dog-fur hat, even the most toxic sun won't be able to tan you...

  ……

  Li Yi took on the task of "asking Er Hei Zi about Da Huang Gou" and ran to the south of Xin Shou Village, where he found the NPC, Er Hei Zi, who was sleeping.

  "Did the village head send you here? That damned beast, Da Huang, I haven't fed it wild boar meat for three days and it ran away on its own. I don't know where it went, either to the small woods or the reed marsh. You go yourself, I'm so tired, I'm sleepy, let me take a nap first."

  The two black kids yawned and were about to turn over and sleep when Li Yi took out the big yellow dog from his backpack.

  "So soon?" Erhei looked at Li Yi in surprise.

  System Prompt: You have completed the "Find Big Yellow Dog" task and received a reward of 2 Hei Zi's "Exquisite Grass Shoes" and 300 experience points.

  Now you can go back and find the village chief.

  Congratulations on your promotion!

  In an instant, he leveled up again. If it weren't for his deep understanding of the game, Li Yi wouldn't have been able to do this. Like those new players who had just entered the game, most of them killed ten small wild boars and then hastily ran to the village chief to complete their tasks. As for the "small wild boar meat" that exploded out, hardly anyone paid attention to it.

  After they finished their task and found the second black son, they went to find the big yellow dog, but suddenly discovered that there was not enough "wild boar meat", the big yellow dog couldn't catch it at all. No way, go back and kill the wild boar, but at this time, the wild boar was being ravaged by thousands of players...

  How much time does it take to go back and forth? With good luck, players with good operating skills can also spend about 7 or 8 hours to get it done. How long did Li Yi use?

  It was settled in just half an hour!

  Of course, this is not the most depressing thing. When the player finally caught the big yellow dog and handed it over to Erhei, he only upgraded to level 3. Li Yi was different, he had been fighting in the reeds for so long, just to be able to upgrade directly to level 5 when handing in the task, because Erhei would not issue career tasks to players below level 5.

  The two black men looked at Li Yi in surprise: "Young warrior, judging from your attire, you should be an archer, right? (Archers have a quiver on their back), but why are you holding a dagger instead of a bow and arrow? Don't you have your own bow and arrow?"

  Li Yi: "......"

  "Look at your white equipment, I guess you can't even afford a weapon. Alright, go find the "Bow Skill Instructor" in the village... considering my face, she should give you a bow."

  Ding!

  System Prompt: Do you accept 'Good Samaritan Hei Erzi's help?

  Agreed!

  Li Yi and others just waited for this hint.

  To know, wanting to get a professional weapon before level 10, this is the only choice!

  In the game setting of King of Gods, except for BOSS, non-human monsters do not drop any equipment. Before level 10, players cannot come into contact with human-shaped monsters, and it is impossible to obtain equipment from them by killing them.

  Go shopping?

  Newbie village doesn't have a weapon shop.

  If you don't complete the secondary quest of Blacksmith, before level 10, you can only use a small knife to stab...

  "There is a big yellow dog guarding the cornfield, so the wild boar doesn't dare to come anymore. Thank you, young warrior."

  After completing the task, the village chief expressed his gratitude, but this time there was no reward. He talked a bit of nonsense and finally gave out another task: Find San Heizi who is repairing the bridge in the west of the village and ask if he needs any help. (Newbies have to run errands!)

  Li Yi didn't go directly to San Hei Zi but instead went to find the "Bow Master Skill Tutor" and obtained his professional weapon.

  "The Bowmaster Skill Tutor" is a woman, leopard-print shorts, leopard-print bra, with a curvy figure that attracts countless perverted players to stop and stare at her snow-white thighs.

  "Although Erhei likes to sleep in, he's actually a very enthusiastic person."

  With the introduction of "Two Black Sons", after a conversation, "Bow Hand Skill Tutor" Lina gave Li Yi a blue-quality "Lina's Short Bow" and 100 "Broken Wooden Arrows".

  Rena's Short Bow

  Equipment level: 5

  Attack 5-13

  Critical Hit Rate 1%

  Additional Attribute: Attack Speed +1

  Note: This is a weapon personally collected by Instructor Lina...

  ……

  A broken wooden arrow

  Additional Attack 0-1

  ……

  Lena looked apologetic: "I'm extremely sorry, the arrows have been stored for too long and many of them have rotted away. If you're short on arrows, go collect some 'Flame Chick's feathers', I can help you make new ones."

  "I have already collected the feathers."

  Li Yi took out more than 500 "feathers" and handed them over to Lena.
