Chapter 22: Newbie Enters the Game, Beginner's Level-Up
After receiving the purple crystal card from the girl, Ao Tian bought a villa in the suburbs at a real estate agency in the city. The main reason was to be quiet and peaceful, and he wanted to avoid shocking the secular world when he practiced his cultivation skills. So, he bought the villa in the suburbs. When paying, Ao Tian checked the balance on the purple crystal card and found that it had reached 900 million. Even a cultivator like Ao Tian was shocked by this amount. Afterwards, he bought an antique set of furniture in the city and returned to his newly purchased villa.
Three days later
In these three days, Ao Tian didn't hesitate to consume his own cultivation, setting up an enhanced version of the Phantom Technique around the villa, completely hiding it from view. He also used his spiritual energy to control the items he had bought back, arranging them in the house according to his own wishes. After finishing all this, Ao Tian looked at the newly renovated home and couldn't help but smile with satisfaction, sincerely exclaiming "Having a home really feels great!" Then, lying on the new bed he had just purchased, wearing a headset that confirmed his DNA and brain waves, he entered the game.
"Hello, welcome to the 'Second World' I am the game's guide fairy. Since you are the 888,888,888th player to enter the game, you will receive a hidden profession reward in the game. Please create your character, and you can adjust the appearance up or down by 20%. Do you need to make any adjustments?" At this moment, what appeared before Ao Tian's eyes was a beautiful fairy, although he knew it was just a virtual character, Ao Tian couldn't help but be moved by her beauty. However, it only lasted for an instant and Ao Tian quickly regained his composure. At this time, a figure identical to him appeared in front of Ao Tian.
"Reduced by 10%." Because the real me is quite handsome, and after refining my true self, I always exude a carefree aura, so to avoid causing ***, I chose to tone it down.
"Congratulations, character creation successful, please name your character."
"Long Ao Tian" was all he heard Ao Tian say.
"Congratulations, the character name is available. Is it confirmed?"
Confirm
"Confirmed successful, please select the character's attributes. The attribute allocation is divided into two types: one is system random allocation and the other is scanning physical condition allocation. Random allocation means that the system randomly allocates attribute points to each item of the character's attributes, which will get 5 more attribute points. Scanning physical condition does not have the extra 5 attribute points, but it will be more beneficial for choosing your own profession. Please choose?"
"What properties does it have?" Even if Audie is playing the game for the first time, it's better to ask clearly.
"Attributes are divided into five visible basic attributes: strength, agility, vitality, intelligence, and spirit. There are also two hidden attributes that players cannot see: charm and luck. Among them, strength determines the player's physical attack power; agility determines the player's defense, hit rate, and dodge rate; vitality determines the player's health points; intelligence determines the player's magical attack power and magic points; spirit determines the player's resistance, such as elemental resistance and physical resistance; charm determines the player's friendliness with NPCs; luck determines the player's monster killing drop rate. Each attribute has an initial maximum value of 10 points, and each level up will grant 3 attribute distribution points."
"Oh, I see. In that case, I'll choose self-scan." As he spoke, Ao Tian activated his Wu Wei Heart Method, because he wanted to know if he could also use the heart method from reality in the game. If it was possible, then he could cultivate in the game later on. Moreover, Ao Tian was still quite confident in his own physical body. (Author: Nonsense, you're a Material Boundary cultivator, how can you not be confident? Ao Tian: I'm just that confident, what's wrong with that?)
"Scanning player's status... Generating character attributes, please wait."
At this moment, Ao Tian was not in a hurry, and he was leisurely sizing up the fairy who had brought him here.
"Scan complete, character attributes generated successfully. Strength 10 points Agility 10 points Vitality 10 points Intelligence 10 points Spirit 10 points. As the player has reached the highest initial attribute, the system rewards Charm +1 and Luck +1."
At this time, Ao Tian listened to the system report his character attributes, although he knew it would be full value, but in his heart, he was slightly excited, after all, Wu Wei Xin Fa wasn't something to be trifled with.
"Congratulations, as you are the 888,888,888th player to enter the game, please go to the city at level 10 to receive your reward. Player has created character and is ready to enter the game, entry successful, player Long Ao Tian, wishing you a happy gaming experience."
At this time, Ao Tian's heart was still in the midst of YY, and the ruthless system had already kicked him into the game.
Suddenly, everything went black in front of me, and I quickly came to. At this moment, I was standing in a small village, surrounded by only a few thatched cottages, and I was on the square surrounded by these thatched cottages, wearing the new novice linen clothes and wooden sword given by the system.
Newbie Clothes: Defense -1 Durability 10 Requirement: None Wooden Sword: Attack -1 Durability 10 Requirement: None
"The system is really stingy, it only sent a tattered piece of clothing and a wooden sword, not even a single cent. " Ao Tian muttered to himself as he looked at the opened package. However, complaints aside, leveling up was still important. Now that he had reached level 10, he wondered what hidden occupation the system would reward him with. Saying this, Ao Tian opened his character attribute panel.
Role: Long Ao Tian
Occupation: Novice Commoner
Level: 0
Experience: 0/100
Strength: 10
Agility: 10
Physical Strength: 10

Magic: 50 (every 1 point of intelligence increases magic value by 5 points, every level up increases magic value by 5 points)
Defense: 5 + 1 = 6 (every 2 points of agility increase defense by 1, plus the novice cloth armor's defense)
Physical Attack: 15 + 1 = 16 (every 1 point of Strength increases attack by 1.5, plus the Wooden Sword's attack)
Magic Attack: 15 (Increases magic attack by 1.5 for every 1 point of Intelligence)
Equipment: Wooden Sword Attack 1 Novice Linen Armor Defense 1
Looking at the abnormal properties, Ao Tian couldn't help but smile again in his heart. He then closed the attribute bar, took out his wooden sword and prepared to go level up. Because he had promised Zi Xue that they would meet after reaching level 10, and the public test had already started for three days, he was also falling behind others by a lot. So he didn't think much and went out to level up. At this time, in another novice village, a girl muttered to herself "Ao Tian, why haven't you come yet?"
"I kill, I kill, I'm killing, I continue to kill." At this point, I've already spent a whole day in the newbie village killing rabbits, which is equivalent to 6 hours in real life. However, it took me an entire night to level up just three levels, and I have to say that leveling up in "Second World" is really tough. After adding all 9 attribute points from reaching level 3 to my agility, I decided to take a short break.
A lone rabbit for 6 hours, can you imagine the loneliness and desolation? And yet he was so tiny... But he couldn't turn back, because in another newbie village, there was someone he loved waiting for him. After some thought, Ao Tian made a decision. He stood up and headed west.
Rabbits are the lowest-level monsters in Novice Village, and for several levels, newbies rely on killing rabbits to level up. My attribute points are different from others, so I decided to skip levels and fight monsters, which must be more efficient than fighting rabbits alone. The experience gained from skipping levels is much higher than that of fighting rabbits, and it's also possible to get good equipment. Now my biggest need is equipment and weapons. In the 'Second World', the drop rate is extremely low, and low-level monsters only drop a small amount of copper coins, so until now, Ao Tian hasn't gotten any equipment unless he skips levels. After thinking for a while, I decided to go kill the rabbit BOSS. With my current situation, killing rabbits is still manageable, but killing the BOSS is not very promising, however, for the sake of equipment, I have to give it a try.
On the west side of the plain outside Novice Village, there is a small river. On the grassland by the river lives Rabbit King - a 5-level rabbit BOSS. Although this BOSS is low-level, it has the reputation of being the "Newbie Terminator" in Novice Village. Even though players above level 5 can easily kill it, such behavior of high-level killing low-level BOSS will not get anything good, so I decided to go and kill it now. Maybe there will be unexpected gains.
So I quickened my pace and headed in the direction of the Rabbit King, on the road basically didn't encounter any strange things, although the public test has been 3 days already, but every day there are still large numbers of players rushing into the 'Second World', so the monsters in the new village were basically refreshed and killed by chaotic swords and turned into data.
Found the rabbit BOSS when this guy was enjoying with a female rabbit, (YY here) maybe thinking that no one dares to come and find it now. Hehe, just right, I didn't want to confront it head-on either, so when it was fully engaged with the female rabbit ***, I launched my first sword to kill the BOSS.
System Prompt: Hit Rabbit King's weakness, attack damage doubles. Rabbit King is extremely enraged.
No wonder it's the Rabbit King, its skin is thicker than a normal rabbit. I can deal 15 points of damage to rabbits, and this was just a weak point attack that dealt 10 points of damage. Just as the Rabbit King was enjoying itself, it was attacked by someone, and its mood must have been terrible. With a loud "thud", it jumped up from the ground, its body rapidly shrinking before expanding. Its body had actually grown at least twice as large as before. This is not good, the Rabbit King has mutated, looks like my luck isn't great today. (Mutation: A state that occurs when a monster becomes abnormally enraged after being attacked.)
System Prompt: Due to Rabbit King's abnormal anger, Rabbit King has mutated into Super Rabbit King.
Upon hearing this hint, I couldn't help but feel a thrill of excitement. Heihei, Super Rabbit King, will definitely drop some great items.
So I used my high agility to dance around him, but the rabbit king was originally known for its speed, and now that it had mutated, its speed wouldn't be any slower. So I adopted a guerrilla tactic, entangling with him and occasionally turning back to give him a sword strike. Watching the slowly weakening rabbit king, I felt exceptionally excited, and in a moment of carelessness, I was bitten by him, and my blood immediately hit rock bottom. It seemed I had gotten a bit too arrogant. For a moment, excitement almost got me killed for free. Now that I've calmed down, I couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. After dancing around the rabbit king for a while, I took advantage of his momentary distraction to quickly circle behind him and swiftly stab him several times from close range. The rabbit king lived up to expectations and fell to the ground. A bunch of items scattered all over the place.
System Prompt: Congratulations to player 'Long Ao Tian' for being the first to kill the Mutated Rabbit King, gaining 3000 experience. Rewarding reputation 100.
Ding: Level up!
Ding: Level up!
Ding: Level up!
Ding: Level up!
Wow, I actually leveled up 4 levels in a row! The mutated rabbit king's experience is really high. I took a deep breath and walked over to pick up the items dropped by the rabbit king, getting 10 silver coins, 1 sword, 1 ring, and 1 helmet.
Sword and armor are white equipment, bronze sword attack 15 requires level: 5 Rabbit skin armor defense 5 requires level: 5 Ring is an unidentified equipment, looking at the ring's style it should have good attributes, unfortunately no money now, leave it to identify when having money.
I allocated the 12 attribute points I got from leveling up to 5 agility, 5 strength and 2 vitality. Now my attack power has exceeded 30, and my defense is over 10. My HP has also broken through 200, now I am a high attack, high defense, and high HP player, feeling better than ever before, and I couldn't help but rush back to the battlefield again.
After struggling outside the village for 2 days, I finally reached level 10 and can finally leave the novice village to reunite with Zixue.
Back in the village, I cleaned up the things I had beaten, and I sold all the ones I didn't need to NPCs. Adding the money I picked up, I only got 2 gold coins, and the drop rate is really not worthy of praise. And I even added 1 point of luck, let alone others.
