Chapter 3: The Rogue Scholar
“-13”
A number 13 floated above the rabbit's head, and its health bar suddenly decreased by one-fifth!
But what surprised me was that the rabbit wouldn't attack, it seems that Silver Moon has set 0-level monsters to not attack for the sake of new players being able to level up smoothly, this way leveling up is much safer!
"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Four consecutive hits and the novice village rabbit immediately fell to the ground, leaving behind a piece of rabbit skin and a shiny coin. I was overjoyed at the sight - not bad, this first monster dropped gold coins for me!
I picked it up and took a look, wow, it's a copper coin. One gold coin is equal to 100 silver coins, which is equal to 10,000 copper coins. Hmm, killing 10,000 rabbits should be enough for one gold coin. Later, I'll go see if I can buy that sword from the NPC soldier who gave me the task earlier. That sword looks great, it will definitely make killing pigs a breeze!
Rabbit Skin; The rabbit skin on the rabbits in Novice Village can be used to repair clothes. Collect 10 of them and give them to the Novice Village soldier, he will reward you!
Roll up your sleeves, the taskbar reminds me that I've completed one-tenth of my tasks!
I took a glance at the experience bar and found that one rabbit gave me 10% of experience, killing ten rabbits would allow me to level up!
I took a look at the new village behind me and found that several players had already rushed out, some of whom went to receive the quest to collect rabbit skins. It seems I need to hurry up!
Suddenly I thought that when the system rewarded me with experience just now, it directly leveled up. Those 4 potential points haven't been added yet. Without thinking, they were all added to strength. After all, I'm planning to practice as a swordsman. What else can a swordsman add besides strength?
I added all 4 potential points to strength, and my attack instantly became 1-7. I found a rabbit and rushed up to it, hitting it with a stick. As a result, 22 damage floated above the rabbit's head. Wow, I didn't expect the damage output to increase by a factor of two! With increased strength, my attacks are indeed impressive!
Three sticks finished one, and by the time I killed five, a large number of players finally rushed out of the novice village. A rabbit that had just spawned at the village entrance was beaten to death with sticks before it could see the bright sunshine, quite tragic!
I looked on with a chill in my heart, I don't know if Xiaoyu is also killing rabbits now. Xiaoyu has always claimed to be very kind-hearted and loving towards small animals, I don't know if she would be able to bear the sight of these little rabbits, but thinking about it, she probably wouldn't, when we went out to eat a big meal, she saw rabbit meat and didn't hesitate at all!
I don't know what her name is in the game, I'm not good enough to guess it, maybe there's even a symbol in the middle of her name, if I could guess it then that would be a miracle!
Killing while running towards the outer circle, the village entrance has been crowded with newly online players, it's harder to grab a rabbit than climbing to heaven, fortunately when I entered the game, GM rewarded me with a level up, my attack power is much higher than newly born players, otherwise I'm afraid I would have been tragic!
Swinging the wooden stick in my hand desperately, 10 rabbits were quickly settled, and I myself came to level 3 as expected, still adding all strength, running quickly towards the village entrance, now it can be said that every second counts!
"You are the fastest warrior I have ever seen! You've collected 10 rabbit skins so quickly, here is your reward!"
The novice village soldier said excitedly, of course I didn't take it seriously at all, what I want is the reward, the reward, brother!
"Ding! You have completed the task [Collect Rabbit Skins], reward 300 experience points, reward 20 copper coins!"
Experience bar has reached 37.5%, it seems that the experience needed for level 3 to level 4 is now 800 points!
But that copper coin is really making me happy. To think about it, I now have a total of 30 copper coins which is a huge sum of money!
But I looked at this new village NPC soldier and it seemed like he still had something on his mind, could it be that there's another quest? So I asked: "Soldier big brother, I see your brow is furrowed, is there some kind of problem?"
"Huh? Rabbit skin can only be used for patching, but once winter arrives, brothers will have nothing to wear!"
It seems there's a chance, I hastily asked: "Then how can we get clothes for your brother?"
"There's a pack of wolves living not far from the east side of the village. It would be great if we could kill them and get their fur!"
Close again, and it's animal skin, these new village soldiers' tastes are indeed unusual!
"I think I can help you get wolf skin!"
"Really? Then I'm counting on you!"
"Ding! You have accepted the quest [Collect Wolf Skins]! (Quest difficulty: A1)"
Task content: Help the guardian NPC soldier collect wolf skin, the wolf skin is on those wild wolves east of the village, kill the wild wolves and collect 20 pieces of wolf skin from them!
The difficulty levels of the tasks in Genesis are A1 to A3, then B1 to B3...... The highest difficulty is F3. Of course, for now, I just need to do well on A1, and it's estimated that I won't have a chance to do F-level tasks until I reach level 100 or so!
Rushing to the wolf's den according to the coordinates given by the task, but what makes me depressed is that this NPC actually deceived people. I spent more than 20 minutes rushing to the wolf's den, and he still had the nerve to say it wasn't far? Damn, I estimate that someone in the newbie village has already reached level 3!
But then again, it's also possible that the NPC soldier brother has a high enough level and runs faster than me, which makes it seem very close. Hmm, NPCs in games are definitely honest good kids who won't lie or cheat! Oh well, since I've already accepted it, I'll just have to continue on with it then!
The size of the wild wolf is no different from that of a domesticated dog, but each one looks extremely ferocious, and it's probably not an easy task to get wolf skin from them!
Wild Wolf (Novice Village Monster)
Level: 3
Blood pressure: 130
Attack: 4-9
Defense: 4
Just completed the task and directly upgraded to level 3, after adding attribute points, now I have 130 HP, attack power is also 1-11 points, defense is also 1 point higher than monsters, such a powerful attribute should not be a problem to take down this wild wolf!
The wild wolf was just enjoying the sunshine, thinking about what to eat for dinner. I rushed up and struck it with a stick, suddenly a wolf howl rang out, and 20 points of damage floated above the monster's head!
Compared with it, the wolf's defense is indeed much higher than that of the rabbit, although 4 points and 1 point are not high!
The wild wolf rushed up immediately, I was stunned for a moment, and the 15-point number had already floated above my head. Damn it, I thought the monsters around this newbie village wouldn't attack on their own initiative, but I didn't expect this beast not only to attack, but also with considerable strength!
I desperately swung the wooden stick in my hand at the monster, which could knock me out of blood and gas. I had to kill it before the monster knocked me out of blood and gas, otherwise I would be dead!
One wolf fought against me, and overall I had a slight advantage, but it wasn't much better. By the time I killed it, my own blood was down to just over 10 points, and if I took another hit, I'd be dead!
Looking at the remaining bit of health, I couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. If I were to be killed by that monster and sent back, it would be embarrassing. Who knows, maybe I'd become the first person in the history of this game to be killed by a monster and sent back to the newbie village. And if Xiaoyu found out, she'd definitely laugh at me! Fortunately, monsters below level 10 won't attack on their own initiative, otherwise another wolf would have come after me and I'd be done for!
The wolf's corpse disappeared immediately, leaving behind only 4 copper coins and a piece of wolf skin. As expected, this wild wolf was richer than the rabbit. I picked everything up hastily and sat down on the ground to recover my health. In a meditative state, the speed of recovering health can be increased. I didn't have any potions that could restore my life, so I had no choice but to rely on this method. Even if the system's store sold potions, I couldn't afford them - with over 30 copper coins, I wouldn't dare imagine how many potions I could buy!
One minute later, the blood is full again, and I'll kill another one. With the experience of the first one, now I just need to maintain the attack frequency, finish one in a few seconds, and then rest for a minute. Won't that be ten wolf skins? Brother, I can do it quickly!
But at this time, the sound of rustling footsteps came from a distance, and when I turned my head to look, a player carrying a wooden stick was walking towards the gathering place of wild wolves!
Rogue Scholar
Just now this wolf skin quest was asked by that NPC soldier, could it be that this guy also received the quest?
But I quite like this name, which xiucai is not a rogue in these years?
That rascal scholar saw me and just hesitated for a moment, then started killing wolves on his own. I took a glance at him, this guy's wolf-killing technique is the same as mine, completely head-on against the wolves, barely winning in the end! His level is the same as mine, and he's also wearing equipment given by the system, basically whatever I can do, he can do too!
So the two of us tacitly parted ways to take care of our own wolves. By the time the fourth wolf fell at my feet, apart from a few copper coins and a wolf pelt on the ground, there also appeared a pair of dull, lusterless cloth shoes. I couldn't help but feel thrilled - equipment! Finally, some equipment had dropped!
Low-quality cloth shoes (Novice equipment)
Defense: +2
Required level: 3
Haha, although it's inferior, but somehow I added two points of defense, and immediately put them on. The original cloth shoes didn't add any properties at all. In this way, my defense jumped to 6 points, and next time killing these wild wolves will be much easier!
I aimed at a wild wolf and hit it with a stick, the monster's head still flew up with over 20 points of damage. When the monster attacked me, my head only floated up with 12 points of damage. I was thrilled, this way I can finish off this one with at least half of my blood left, no need to risk my life every time and be left with just a thread of blood!
At this time, the rogue scholar sent me a team invitation!
