Chapter 6 Special Treatment

  Newbie village circled around, Chen Chu had a brand new understanding of the border. Everything here is too real, especially those NPCs with various contemptuous glances. "What's going on?" Chen Chu couldn't figure it out, fortunately his luck value wasn't bad enough to affect his charm value. Chen Qian had told him that triggering tasks relied on charm value, and plot tasks only had level requirements. Under such circumstances, no NPC was willing to give Chen Chu a task, which made him feel indignant.

  After wandering around again, Chen Chu chose to give up. Sitting at the corner of the street watching people come and go, Chen Chu propped his head with one hand, not in a daze but looking at his own attributes.

  A set of extraordinary novice equipment is slightly better than ordinary ones, and the initial attribute increase is quite a lot. "The equipment should be able to make do, and the rewards from the connector are also quite generous... Ah, can't take on any more tasks, might as well go kill some monsters." With that thought, Chen Chu stood up. Chen Chu wasn't someone who liked to join in the crowds, so he habitually headed towards the village exit where no one ever passed by.

  As they ran past, someone noticed: "Isn't the village entrance only accessible at level 6?" With a puzzled expression, he followed Chen Chu and walked over, but was unable to enter. The system voice sounded out: "Player's level is insufficient, cannot enter." "He's already level 6?!" At this time, even those at level 2 were scarce! Everyone was fighting fiercely for a single rabbit, with "heads broken and blood flowing".

  It wasn't just strange, when Chen Chu walked out of Newbie Village, those NPCs with stern faces all showed smiles, as if they were celebrating the departure of this plague.

  After leaving the village, I wandered aimlessly for a while and suddenly noticed: "It's too quiet here." Feeling something was off, Chen Chu opened up the map and after scanning it up and down, his eyes lit up. Not far ahead, there was an entrance to a dungeon, this dungeon had a weird name "Maze", the introduction said that the village chief built it as a trial for newbies, with two levels in total, but later due to monster invasion, the monsters inside became extremely brutal. Monster level: 6-15.

  Looked around, still didn't see anyone, Chen's heart secretly delighted "They must be following the task now, no one has arrived yet. Just in time, it's a bargain for me who took on this task", after entering the boundary and bumping into everything, finally encountered something good.

  Chen Chu rushed towards the entrance of the maze with his staff in hand.

  All the way uneventful, Chen Chu arrived at the entrance of the maze, which was pitch black inside. Not far from his feet, there was a red pattern. Having never eaten pork but having seen pigs run, Chen Chu guessed that it was the transmission array to enter. Without hesitation, Chen Chu walked in... His field of vision fell into darkness for a moment, and the next second, floating red numbers appeared before Chen Chu's eyes!

  “-78”

  “-56”

  All sorts of bloodshed, all sorts of violent attacks, all sorts of humiliating postures, standing on the incoming transmission array, Chen Chuang was knocked to the ground without even moving.

  The huge ups and downs left Chen Chu stunned for a long time, staring at the revived prompt: "X, this is also okay!?" The monsters in front had rabbits, wild boars, and wild dogs, all of whom were long-term residents of the novice village, except that on their names, two prompts were added: "Enhanced" and "Active".

  Chen Chu, who was on the ground, did not choose to revive immediately, but instead observed these monsters running around. In front of him were two entrances, with one entrance and exit lined up with monsters. "So many, how can I fight them alone?" Chen Chu thought to himself as he observed. The result of his observation was that there was no chance to solve them one by one, as soon as he provoked one, a bunch would come after him. It wouldn't be a problem for a short while, but being caught up was only a matter of time. Helpless, Chen Chu chose to revive again. "What a waste, and I thought I had encountered good fortune." A flash of golden light, and Chen Chu stiffened again!

  "Not going back to the city?"

  There are underground palaces in many places. After death, the map will revive at the entrance of the cave. Chen Chu turned off the novice tutorial as soon as he entered the game, so he didn't know this.

  In any case, this is good news. If he didn't have to run the map, Chen Chu wouldn't be afraid of death even in his current state with 1 level and 0 experience; sticking close to the wall, Chen Chu kept a distance from the monster and immediately threw out a novice detection technique. This is something that newbies are born with, and leveling up requires a skill book.

  Angry White Rabbit: Level 6, HP 257, MP 0, Physical Attack 40, Physical Resistance 0, Magical Resistance 0

  Enraged Wild Boar: Level 8, HP 370, MP 0, Physical Attack 61, Physical Resistance 0, Magical Resistance 0

  Furious Wild Dog: Level 10, HP 560, MP 0, Physical Attack 80, Physical Resistance 0, Magical Resistance 0

  Only physical attacks made Chen Chu feel a little better, as for other attributes, higher-level insight techniques were needed to see them. Chen Chu's thoughts were strange "They're all enraged, shouldn't the critical hit rate be high?" Thinking of his own poor luck value, when facing an enemy's critical hit, it was equivalent to giving himself a negative status. After a moment of deliberation, Chen Chu compared his current attributes.

  Although transcendent equipment does not increase attribute points, it still greatly enhances attributes such as life, attack and defense, especially in terms of health and defense.

  Leaf: HP 429, MP 340, Physical Attack 6, Magical Attack 96, Physical Resistance 53, Magical Resistance 78, Movement Speed 55; Strength 6, Intelligence 21, Agility 5, Vitality 9, Spirit 14.

  Special attributes: Life recovery 3 points per second, mana recovery 10 points per second, charm value 8 (0-10), luck value -1 (0-10).

  Skills:

  Fireball: Level 1, Experience 0/40

  Casting interval: 1 second

  Mana cost: 10 points

  Instantly casts a fireball, dealing 13 magic damage. 10% chance to apply a burn effect for 5 seconds. Cooldown of 10 seconds on the same target. Targets with burn effect take an additional 5% damage.

  Basic Insight: Level 1

  Discharge interval: None

  Mana cost: None

  Can perceive the basic attributes of monsters within 10 levels below the player's level and the basic attributes of characters within 5 levels below the player's level.

  "Skills are pretty good......" Entering the game for so long, this is Chen Chu's first time carefully looking at his own attributes and skills. The monsters in this maze have 0 resistance to both fire and ice, with HP between 300-500. With Fireball Technique plus basic magic damage, he can deal around 110 perfect damage in one hit, and with the 5% increase in burn effect, stable output is around 130. It seems that three or four hits can kill one. Thinking of this, Chen Chu looked at the situation around him, and after entering the cave, a huge maze was in front of him, but outside the maze it was actually very empty: "Dragging and fighting should be okay."

  Anyway, death and rebirth were just at the door, Chen Chu no longer hesitated, taking aim at that most bullying angry rabbit was a fireball technique.

  "-103" Seeing the floating red number, Chen had a bottom line in his heart.

  The rabbit glanced sideways, and those blood-red eyes didn't carry much intimidation, but the group that followed...

  A large group of monsters chased after Chen Chu, and judging from the situation, there were still many more in the maze. He threw a fireball behind him and ran away, not even daring to use ordinary attacks.

  Maybe it's just the beginning, Chen Qi is quite energetic and doesn't feel tired at all, unknowingly killing several of them!

  "239/500", still half to go before leveling up "No wonder I need to do quests to level up, killing monsters is really slow......", this is Chen's experience with a bunch of mobs trailing behind him, without any group attack skills. If he could join a team with a warrior who has a decent luck value tanking the monsters, the experience would be "rolling in".

  "Ding! Congratulations, player level has been upgraded to 2. Power +0, Endurance +1, Agility +0, Intelligence +3, Spirit +2. Obtained 1 free attribute point, can learn the skill Ice Ball Technique!"

  The upgrade prompt made Chen Chu's heart happy. The free attribute points were quickly added to intelligence, and it was only upgraded by one level, but for Chen Chu, who was dragging a group of monsters with slow skills, it had a significant improvement. Now, a fireball can deal around 130 damage, and although it's just a 20-point damage increase, in most cases, Chen Chu can kill the rabbit with 257 blood in two hits.

  What made Chen Chuxin even happier was that the monster he had just killed dropped a blue and red medicine. Hmm... it only dropped a blue and red medicine, no equipment, not even a single copper coin.

  "Ding! ~~" That exciting sound rang out again.

  This time the system upgrade Chen Chu can learn Feng Lin technique. Suddenly, Chen Chu stopped for no reason, just for an instant! He was brutally abused by various beasts and turned into a corpse.

  Back at the entrance of the maze, Chen Chu's face was filled with a smile "First go back and learn skills, this Wind Rush skill sounds like it increases movement speed". Using the two-hour CD Recall spell that came with his birth, Chen Chu returned to the newbie village.

  At this moment, the new village looks much less crowded, and Chen Chu guessed that it's probably packed outside. For Chen Chu, who has been unlucky for a long time, what luck is now just an illusion, but this start isn't bad, no one is stealing monsters, and he can still explode...

  He took out the task book and looked at the time it would take to upgrade the system. "There are still five hours left, I should be able to reach level 10 if I hurry up and practice," he muttered to himself as he ran towards the novice mage instructor. In fact, following the main storyline of each profession can get you a free beginner's skill book, but Chen Chu couldn't accept the task.

  After haggling with the novice mentor with a straight face, Chen Chu sold all his potions and could only afford to buy a book of Gale Spell. After spending 50 experience points to learn it, Chen Chu's eyes lit up as he looked at the introduction.

  Wind Technique: Level 1, Experience 0/40

  Casting interval: 50 seconds

  Mana cost: 10 points

  Auxiliary skill, increases movement speed by 5%, also provides a wind-type shield for the player, with a 10% chance to reduce the movement speed of monsters attacking the player by 10 points (this effect is invalid for player targets). Lasts for 600 seconds, can only be used on oneself.

  It was just as Chen Chu had thought, and his movement speed did increase. At the same time, Chen Chu discovered a frustrating thing - his Fireball Technique might have been able to be upgraded long ago, but he hadn't noticed. He chose the upgrade option, and his Fireball was promoted to level 2. The damage didn't increase by much, but the scorching effect rose from 5% to 10%, which was crucial.

  "Hey kid, I have a skill book here that's quite suitable for you, want it?"

  Just as Chen Chu was about to turn and leave, the new master of the Hand of Law suddenly spoke up.

  Chen Chu raised an eyebrow: "No money, suitable for me, I also can't afford it." Chen Chu was fantasizing, wondering if he had come to do some task.

  Who would have thought that after hearing this sentence, the NPC directly turned around and ignored Chen Chu.

  "Damn it, what's the point? As soon as I said I didn't have money, they ignored me directly... Even NPCs are this realistic..." Chen Chu felt a sense of helplessness and prepared to leave the newbie village to continue leveling up in the dungeon. He walked out through the same deserted village entrance.

  Took a glance along the way and found that most players were still around level 4. It's not that the threshold is too difficult to level up, but there are too many people, Chen Chu hasn't gone out to see that several guys with unusually "red" names have already appeared outside the newbie village.
