Chapter 57

Dick the old man and Qin Yue looked on anxiously, both eager to know how many skills Chu Feiyue would receive.

"Phew. Five skills: Psychic Arrow, Bursting Flameball, Frost Nova, Cyclone Armor, and Earth Spike." Chu Feiyue opened his eyes and let out a long breath.

Damn, the feeling of having memories forcibly implanted is really unpleasant.

"Sure enough, it reached the limit directly. The prophecy of the goddess... hehe," Dick sighed in relief. "Your power is still too weak, so go and improve yourself first. When... well, when you reach level 13, you can help me with some tasks."

"Accept the quest: Level up quickly. Reach level 13 as soon as possible. Client: Dick, the President of the Huating Mage Guild."

"By the way, the High Priestess of the Dream Goddess Temple, Messiah, asked me to tell you that you can only enter the temple after reaching level 50, so please level up quickly."

After receiving the quest, Chu Feiyue said goodbye to the old man Dick and returned to the surface with Qin Yue.

Looking up at the pitch-black sky, Chu Feiyue suddenly realized a serious problem.

He was hungry...

"Qin Yue, how long have we been online? Why do I feel hungry?"

"I don't know... It seems like a long time." Qin Yue counted on her fingers, and Xiaobai Fei, seeing her owner playing with her fingers, also started to fiddle with her little paws.

"It might be noon in the real world. I'm hungry too..."

"Since there's nothing to do in the real world, let's eat here?"

"Sure, it's a good chance to try the in-game restaurants."

Actually, Qin Yue hadn't been to many real-world restaurants. The last time was a few months ago at the Capital Hotel in Beijing, where she had an unpleasant farewell dinner.

...

Chu Feiyue and Qin Yue ordered two servings of a dish similar to fried rice at a restaurant run by an NPC female mage to satisfy their hunger. Although the enthusiastic shopkeeper didn't understand why one person would order two servings, she took the silver coin Chu Feiyue offered... who wouldn't take money?

However, this also showed that the cost of living in Huating wasn't low. Several copper coins weren't a small amount...

Not only was the architectural style of Huating unique, but the interior decoration was also interesting. At least the menu, which shimmered with magical light, was something not found in the real world.

Moreover, the waiters in this restaurant were water elementals! When Qin Yue saw the blue chair next to her suddenly transform into a human to serve the dishes, she thought it was a Transformer.

Although Chu Feiyue's status panel didn't show hunger, eating a meal at mealtime was more of a habit than a physiological need. It also satisfied a psychological need, as the food here was purely natural, green, and pollution-free, making it very refreshing to eat.

Why not enjoy it?

After finishing the meal, Chu Feiyue decided to go to the wilderness to try to remove his seal.

Although the NPCs didn't say it outright, Chu Feiyue could see a lot of hope and expectation in their eyes. This expectation could not be dashed due to his laziness!

However, this time Chu Feiyue was smarter. He gradually followed the Huating city map he bought for 20 copper coins, using the moving elevators and teleportation arrays one by one, and quickly arrived at the city gate of Huating.

The saying "a mountain looks close but the journey is long" applies here. From the mountain, it didn't seem far, but the city gate of Huating was actually very far from the city center.

The city walls of Huating were ten zhang high, and the city gate, wide enough for large war puppets to pass through side by side, made it look very grand.

After signing an exit form with the guard, Chu Feiyue was allowed to leave. Here, a census was also conducted, meaning that from the moment he signed his name, Chu Feiyue officially became a resident of Huating.

After leaving the city gate, there was a vast forest, lush and beautiful.

New players who had just left the newbie village should be fighting small monsters here, as the sign outside the forest stated...

Since there were only Chu Feiyue and Qin Yue, they didn't have to worry about competing for monsters, making it much quieter than the newbie village.

There were only two types of monsters on the outer side of the forest near the city wall: 11-level Earth Rats and 12-level Big-Toothed Rabbits.

"Earth Rat: 11-level common. HP: 250. Description: Originally a gentle animal, it became aggressive due to a slight influence of evil aura. Skill: [Burrow]: Dig into the ground to attack or escape. If caught by the tail..."

"Big-Toothed Rabbit: 12-level common. HP: 270. Description: Originally a gentle animal, it became aggressive due to a slight influence of evil aura. Skill: [Bite]: Jump and bite the enemy with its large front teeth."

Although influenced by the evil aura, they clearly hadn't undergone any significant physical changes. On the contrary, they were quite cute, except for being a bit larger.

They were just a bit too enthusiastic... As soon as they saw Chu Feiyue, a Big-Toothed Rabbit with large front teeth hopped over.

"Wow, so cute..." Qin Yue picked up the Big-Toothed Rabbit by its long ears, and it showed a bit of fear at being suddenly lifted into the air because it couldn't see her.

"Chirp!" Xiaobai Fei bared her teeth and showed her claws at the poor Big-Toothed Rabbit, clearly not welcoming it.

Of course, if the owner kept it, she would only get half the affection, which was absolutely unacceptable!

In fact, Qin Yue did want to keep another rabbit, but seeing Xiaobai Fei's determined stance, she had to give up.

Xiaobai Fei's first battle to defend her owner's affection, victory...

After that, the monsters were more normal, following a cycle of monsters rushing in, being attacked, flying back, being killed, and being looted.

Fortunately, both elemental spirits and yao spirits could treat night as day, otherwise they would have needed torches.

Perhaps because Chu Feiyue was the first to come here, the drop rate was quite good.

After all, what can you say when a common Big-Toothed Rabbit drops an accessory for you?

"Rabbit Ear Pendant: Excellent, accessory. A pendant made from rabbit ears, looking quite unique. Attack speed +5%, movement speed +1, jump height +0.5"

This cute little accessory had no equipment requirements, and Chu Feiyue was quite excited to finally find a piece of wild equipment he could use...

Thus, with renewed enthusiasm, Chu Feiyue diligently farmed monsters. Qin Yue leaned against a nearby tree, writing her unfinished song "Happiness," while Xiaobai Fei quietly watched from her neck.

This farming session lasted until late at night...
