Chapter 6 Begin leveling

As soon as Renault slashed his sword, the man-tall tree spirit immediately shook its branches and leaves, and stepped open its two bowl-thick rhizomes to take revenge on Renault.

Dryads are the toughest monsters in the beginner area, and technically, they should belong to the plant category. It has a trunk as tough as iron, and the Novice Sword has only one more white scratch on it, and the damage value jumps out of the number 1. And the dancing and thick branches of the tree spirit, once swept up, must be broken bones and tendons. Renault once witnessed the process of a level 8 player rashly challenging the dryad: relying on the sharpness of the level 5 long sword, he slashed and stabbed at the dryad, and finally cut off a branch of the dryad, but he also paid the price of being swept away. Fortunately, the Dryant is moving too slowly, and the player has disappeared without a trace, and the Dryant has only just taken two steps.

The reason why Renault dared to challenge the Dryant was because of its weakness of being slow to move. When he realizes that the Novice Sword only deals one point of damage, he decisively discards the Novice Sword and points out the One-Hand Axe from his inventory. This weapon is a reward for Renault when he completes a low-level mission.

In the short time it took to change weapons, the dryads attacked no less than three times, all of which were dodged by Renault's nimble skills.

The cold light flashed, and the thick branches fell to the ground with a single axe slash, and green juice bubbled up from the wound, staining the already green grass even more lush.

With this achievement, Renault was immediately full of morale, and the heavy two-handed axe was light and flexible under the dance of Renault level 7 liliang, and there was no bulky feeling of a heavy weapon at all.

The level 9 Warcraft Tree Spirit finally fell scarred, and Renault found that although the heavy weapon was not as light and fast as the sword, as long as the Liliang attribute was enough, it could fully master its attack skills and play its due effect, and the heavy weapon seemed to have a special effect bonus to the heavy monster. Otherwise, if you want to use your sword to assassinate the tree spirit, you probably won't be able to wait until the sun sets. What's more, the damage of the tree spirit is unusually high, and Renault, who has a level 7 physique and a level 5 equipment, can't withstand its three blows. If it weren't for the Dryant's extremely low hit and ant-crawling attack speed, Renault wouldn't have dared to challenge the Dryant easily with just these attributes and one-handed axe.

The corpse of the fallen tree spirit glowed with a faint light, Renault knew that it was a sign of the monster's death and disappearance, but in three seconds, the corpse on the ground was cleared by the system, leaving a diamond-shaped crystal, the wood-colored appearance did not have a little crystal clear unique to the crystal, and at the moment of entry, a set of data automatically entered Renault's consciousness.

Now, Renault knows that this strange crystal is called Monster Essence, and there is no information about Monster Essence in the content of his friend's narrative, most of which are newly added game elements, but the information fed back to Renault is not complete, and the key part is not open to players.

Renault carefully inspected the ground to make sure that no other items had exploded, and foolishly put the semblesome dryad essence into his inventory. Before leaving, don't forget to pick up the dropped Novice Sword, which was previously thrown in order to quickly equip the two-handed axe from the inventory, and to remove the five-second cooldown when switching gears. According to the rules of the game, there will be a five-second cooldown when switching equipment, and during this time, the player will not be able to change to a new weapon. However, Renault accidentally discovered that the character could get a weapon from the inventory without carrying a weapon, and the five-second cooldown would not appear. Five seconds is not a long time, but in the face of a monster with high attack damage like the Dryad, it still plays a role in determining life and death.

Renault always felt that the difficulty of the tree spirit at this stage should not be too rubbish, after all, novice players who have not changed jobs, even if they have Renault's equipment, do not have the same gameplay as he upgrades all six sets of attributes, and the average player can only win the only one tree spirit monster on the whole map by teaming up, and even then it is inevitable that there will be death.

Now death means a real return to nothingness, and there was a player who questioned Oberstein's words before, optimistically thinking that everything was a propaganda strategy of the game organizers, but this unfounded inference took the life of this optimist, and he died at the hands of the violent rabbit lord at the mini-boss level under paralysis. The news was quickly spread throughout the Newbie City by teammates who witnessed the tragedy, and people realized the seriousness of the problem, this is no longer an entertainment game, it is like a survival game, and only those who survive have hope and a future.

And Renault and his friend Huo Sen have been fighting separately, not because of the weishenme conflict, it was Huo Sen who first proposed to level up separately, he realized that the nature of the game has changed fundamentally, so there is no entertainment for all players, only life and death. Renault told him that there are no deadly monsters in the novice city, and the strongest elite monster tree spirit is also a slow-moving second goods, someone is unfortunate enough to be tricked, as long as he chooses to escape, he will definitely be able to pick up his life, as for the violent rabbit lord at the small boss level, any reasonable person will not easily tease it. Moreover, all Warcraft in the Novice Zone are passively aggressive, which may be designed to protect novice players.

Now it's no better than just opening the service, people's freshness has long been gone, and no matter how vivid the picture design is, it can't compare to the reality of the shadow shrouded in death. Players are fully committed to fighting monsters and upgrading, and the novice area outside the city is crowded with leveling players, as soon as a new monster comes out, it becomes the player's soul power experience in the blink of an eye. Without the resurrection mechanic, the vast majority of players cautiously choose risk-free low-level area monster farming. Although the efficiency of leveling up in this way is extremely low, and you can't upgrade to level 3 after one day of fighting, no player is willing to take risks to challenge monsters with higher experience because there is no information.

Players like Renault who have some monster data belong to a very small number of people. Therefore, Renault spent a lot of effort to point all six sets of attribute levels to level 7, which is still higher than the level of most players. So he can go to the advanced area with fewer players to level up, so that a virtuous circle is formed.

After beating the Tree Spirit, Renault upgraded Zuihou to level 7 - Lucky, and now sprint to level 8, and there is level 2 to go to the job transfer area to choose his own class. In fact, he can completely ignore all the attributes, like Huo Sen, he can choose three sets of attributes - physique, liliang, and speed, because Huo Sen has already made the decision to switch to a melee profession, and intelligence and magic have no effect on melee combat. This is not the case with Renault, who has not yet decided on a career to change. In fact, he originally wanted to switch to a high-attack magic class, but the magician's cowardly body couldn't withstand a few attacks from the demonic beast, even if he had melee class protection, in the wild Shijie full of dangers, the sneak attackers who would appear at any time and place were enough to kill him.

I wonder how Hosen is now? Renault thought.

Leveling up is a boring and dangerous thing, and defeating the elite treads, Renault didn't feel a little excited, but instead looked a little lost. Horsen was the first friend he met in the game, and although they had only been together for a short time, Horsen always respected him and regarded him as a big brother. Renault felt that there was already the cornerstone of a true friendship between them.

After a period of cranky thinking, Renault came to the Violent Rabbit area, the level 8 monster Violent Rabbit is not as good as the tree spirit in terms of soul power, but it is valuable in the number. If it weren't for the completion of the system mission, Renault wouldn't have made a long detour to find an elite monster with only one map.

After handing in any to the NPCs in the Starter Zone, you will receive a decent reward: 1,000 Copper Coins plus an unlimited two-handed sword.

Two-handed swords have no special attributes, the focus is on damage up to a hundred. A hundred damage is very useful in the early stage, which is a qualitative leap compared to a level 5 one-handed axe. The fly in the ointment is that except for the higher damage than the level 9 weapon, there are no other highlights, and even attribute points are not added. But it's not bad for Renault, anyway, the last thing he lacks now is attribute points.

Renault rested his two-handed sword on his shoulder with one hand, keeping an eye on the movement around him. In a few moments, the weeds, which were more than half a man tall, swayed. Finding the abnormal movement here, Renault immediately grasped the long hilt of the sword with both hands and waited for it. A violent rabbit the size of a badger jumped out, its blue fur particularly conspicuous, and its strong hind legs allowed it to leap over a man with ease.

Renault was a resolute man, and without hesitation, he raised his sword and dropped it, and the sharp two-handed blades instantly split the hapless violent rabbit in two.

It turned out to be a second kill, thinking that it would take two blows to destroy this level 8 monster, Renault didn't believe his eyes.

In the damage column on the character attribute interface, the number 255 is clearly displayed, and there will be no mistake, Renault thought to himself. 70 points of liliang attribute is a 70% weapon damage bonus, plus weapon value, the damage should be 170, but now it is 50% more damage.

Renault had a flash of inspiration, and he immediately switched to a novice sword with 10 base damage, and the damage value stopped at 17, and it seems that only wearing a two-handed sword will have an additional 50% bonus.

An hour passed quickly, and Renault's level had increased to level 9 each of Liliang, Physique, Speed, and Luck, and the remaining intelligence and magic were still at level 8, and as long as it took a while, he would be able to reach the full level of all attributes. There is such a fast efficiency, in addition to the two-handed sword that has a bonus **, but also thanks to the scarcity of players. Occasionally, players appear in teams, and without class skills, the numerical advantage only increases their survivability, and the game rules of evenly dividing soul experience do not significantly increase their leveling speed. Therefore, the efficiency of upgrading is not as fast as that of the Lone Ranger.

It seems that the news that the player died as a result of the Violent Bunny Lord played a crucial role, and people intentionally or unintentionally chose to bypass this monster map that kills the player.

However, Renault doesn't care about this, with his current strength, he may not be able to brush the mini-boss alone, but it is more than enough for self-protection. What's more, there are so many players in other leveling areas, and players like Renault who choose to point all the attributes all the way don't know how long and what month they want to brush.

Sometimes it's worth taking a risk! Just as Renault thought this, the weeds on the left side shook violently, and the amplitude was amazing, and it seemed that there were quite a few violent rabbits hidden in the grass. With a two-handed sword in hand, Renault swings away and waits for the moment when the monster emerges.

Puff puff a few times, five violent rabbits jumped in front of Renault, the first time to face such a large number, Renault couldn't help but be a little nervous. Violent Rabbit is a siege-type monster, as long as one is attacked, other violent rabbits within line of sight immediately attack it.
