Chapter 1: Reborn Five Years Ago

  He saw off Blood Splashing Thousand Miles, and Duan Chen couldn't help but reveal a wry smile. Now, he was the only one left. However, for Duan Chen, being able to call Blood Splashing Thousand Miles his brother was something he wouldn't have dared to think about in the future. The future Blood Splashing Thousand Miles, one of the Five Peak Kings of Huaxia City, a terrifying figure known as the Tyrant King, wasn't someone he could compare to. In the future, Blood Splashing Thousand Miles would be Kuang Dust's idol, and even now, he still was.

  "In the outer areas of Novice Village, there are only some level 10 monsters. Except for that one crazed wolf, there is also a level 15 demonized monster, but I don't dare to provoke it now!" Duan Chen thought for a moment and muttered to himself. He had to complete his task and leave Novice Village within ten days, so he needed to reach level 20 in the shortest time possible. After all, only after reaching level 20 could he possibly go kill a Lord-level monster. However, in Novice Village, apart from level 10 monsters, there seemed to be no other monsters that could be killed. Killing level 10 monsters still gave considerable experience now, but once Duan Chen exceeded level 12, the experience would become less and less, making it impossible to level up much. As for that crazed wolf or that level 15 demonized BOSS, they seemed to spawn every six hours, which was even more unreliable."

  "Is there any other way to level up faster!" Duan Chen couldn't help but sit on the ground, starting to think about some things from his past life. To be honest, in his past life as one of the top masters in the struggle for hegemony, Duan Chen didn't pay much attention to these newcomers' moves, but now he had no choice but to start thinking about these things.

  "Ah, right! I've got it! How could I have forgotten this!" Suddenly, Duan Chen thought of something and a hint of excitement flashed in his eyes.

  "It seems that I've been in a high position for too long and have forgotten many basic skills!" Duan Chen couldn't help but sigh, muttering to himself: "I forgot, there are also auxiliary professions that can be chosen, although they can't increase levels, but they can increase attributes!"

  In the game of contending for hegemony, there are also some auxiliary professions. The players of these auxiliary professions are generally not high in level, but if we talk about attribute values, they are usually higher than players of the same level. Many are because practicing auxiliary skills have attribute bonuses.

  "Blacksmiths increase strength, Alchemists increase physique, Armorers increase agility, and Artisans increase intelligence! Which one to choose?" Duan Chen couldn't help but start thinking. For a warrior, perhaps the Blacksmith is the most useful, after all, that's where you get increased strength. However, Duan Chen didn't want to choose Blacksmithing because he wasn't a true ironworker and wouldn't be specializing in metalwork. As for Artisans, most of their materials came from monsters, but for Duan Chen, intelligence seemed to have little practical use. He could only choose between Alchemists and Armorers as his secondary occupation.

  "Let's refine the medicine!" Duanchen's mind flashed with several pill formulas from his previous life. Although these formulas were primary, if refined, Duanchen believed that he could increase his physical strength significantly. Moreover, the materials needed for these formulas could be found even in a novice village.

  "There is now a lot of gold coins, enough to buy many medicinal materials!" Duan Chen thought for a moment and muttered to himself. In addition to combat professions, players can also choose an auxiliary profession. However, few combat profession players will choose an auxiliary profession because they don't have that much time to deal with these things, including Duan Chen himself.

  "If it wasn't for the fact that I was in a tight spot when I first entered the game and had to become an alchemist for a while, I wouldn't be refining medicine now!" Duan Chen muttered to himself.

  There was a pharmacy in the village of Xiongshou. Duan Chen directly walked into the pharmacy and told the owner his intention.

  "Do you want to learn about medicine?" The pharmacy owner glanced at Duan Chen, then said: "It's possible. You just need to buy a medicine cauldron from me and I'll give you the Alchemy Skill Book!"

  "Good!" Upon hearing this, Duan Chen directly nodded. In this new village, there wasn't a good medicine cauldron, only an ordinary white porcelain medicine cauldron, which also cost thirty silver coins. If Duan Chen didn't have a gold coin on hand, he probably wouldn't be able to afford this price.

  "Here you go!" The boss didn't even lift his head, tossing the medicine cauldron and alchemy skill book to Duan Chen. Only then did he speak up, saying: "I have beginner-level blood recovery potion formulas and magic recovery potion formulas here, each formula costs 10 silver coins!"

  "Not needed!" Duan Chen shook his head, these medicinal formulas only wrote what to put where, as long as the player took a glance, they would roughly know how to place them! It didn't have much use at all, for Duan Chen, who had also refined many medicines in his past life, of course knew their uses!

  "Give me ten stalks of Tiger Bone Grass, five sprigs of Leaf Soul Fragrance, fifteen Clear Bright Fruits..." Duan Chen looked at the pharmacy owner, listing out the materials one by one.

  "Here you are! A total of 56 silver coins and 40 copper coins!" The pharmacy owner directly sorted out the medicine, handed it to Duan Chen.

  After handing over the money and receiving this large pile of medicinal herbs, Duan Chen couldn't help but sigh in frustration. With this one transaction, he didn't have much money left again.

  "I hope I can refine some medicinal materials, with so many medicinal materials, my physique should increase by several points, equivalent to upgrading a level!" Duan Chen muttered to himself.

  With a backpack full of medicinal herbs, he walked directly into a civilian house in the city. Duan Chen took out these medicinal herbs one by one and began to slowly put them away.

  Duan Chen put the medicinal herbs into the medicine cauldron one by one, and slowly began his refining process. As for alchemy, Duan Chen was also quite skilled in his past life, but of course, in the eyes of a professional alchemist, he was still an amateur. However, for Duan Chen, alchemy was not his strong suit anyway.

  "Refine!" Duan Chen released a refining skill, and immediately, the medicinal materials inside the medicine cauldron began to stir, waves of fragrance wafting out from within.

  "Hope it goes well!" Duan Chen couldn't help but start praying.

  "Ding!" Suddenly, the medicine cauldron emitted a crisp sound, and then, one by one, round green pills directly poured out from inside the cauldron, a total of ten pills.

  "Haha, it really succeeded!" Duan Chen looked at the ten pills that came out and couldn't help but reveal a hint of excitement.

  "System Prompt: Player Kuangchen successfully refined the intermediate elixir Power Dan, and his alchemy skill has risen to primary level. Player Kuangchen obtained two points of physique reward!"

  "Power Pellet!" Looking at the Power Pellet in his hand, Duan Chen couldn't help but reveal a hint of a smile. The Power Pellet was an intermediate-level medicinal pellet that could not be found in any pharmacy in the major cities; only players could configure it. This Power Pellet would definitely sell for a pretty penny.

  "Power Pill: Taking a Power Pill will increase the player's power by 10 points for 10 minutes!"

  "With these ten power pellets, I should be able to try and take on that leader alone!" Duan Chen's eyes flashed with a hint of excitement as he muttered to himself.
