Chapter 5

Regarding the safety hammer being able to transform into game equipment, Zhang Yi, of course, learned about this in his previous life. At that time, the only safety hammer in the carriage was accidentally picked up by a player and transformed into a weapon, much to the envy of Zhang Yi and the other players.

It was also thanks to that safety hammer, which had 2 more attack points than the other players' beginner swords, that the player became the first one among the new players to break out of the train station!

Thus, with the iron hammer equipped, Zhang Yi's attack power increased from 5 to 10 points, and he then walked out of the carriage unhurriedly.

The moment he stepped out of the carriage, a strong stench hit his nose. Several female players couldn't help but wrinkle their brows, but Zhang Yi had long been accustomed to this smell.

It was clear that these new players could barely handle a Level 1 giant spider. After all, a Level 1 bio-spider only had 6 attack points, 0 defense points, and 50 health points, which were rather poor attributes. As long as players didn't overlevel like Huang Mao did at the beginning, they wouldn't be in mortal danger.

These newbie experience monsters, set by the system, would not attack players unless provoked. This feature greatly ensured the safety of new players in the early stages.

Zhang Yi did not rush to the giant spiders like the other players, who saw them as treasures. Instead, he chose to bypass the area where the giant spiders were concentrated!

Holding the large iron hammer, Zhang Yi arrived at the train station waiting hall.

According to the mini-map, the shortest route to the safe zone was to follow the railway tracks straight ahead. Therefore, Zhang Yi had a specific purpose for coming to the waiting hall.

At the entrance of the waiting hall, Zhang Yi encountered a large red spider that was different from the black giant spiders he had seen earlier!

Zhang Yi casually cast a detection spell—

【Bio-Spider】 (Physical Common Monster):

Level: 2

Talent: Poison (Common talent, the bio-spider's attack has a 1% chance to poison the target, causing a loss of 10% of the bio-spider's attack power per second for 5 seconds)

Physical Attack: 10

Physical Defense: 2

Magic Defense: 1

Health: 90

Description: A spider that has mutated due to the pollution of the post-apocalyptic environment, extremely fierce, but it will not attack you unless you provoke it (this large spider seems a bit unusual)...

In the Enlightenment World, not only players but also monsters have talents.

Seeing the description on the data panel, Zhang Yi was even more certain: this was the one!

Zhang Yi learned about this opportunity by chance.

In his previous life, it wasn't until he finally reached the safe zone, Hope Town, after spending over two hours that he heard from other players in the safe zone that there was a welfare monster in the train station waiting hall, and killing it could drop a treasure chest!

It turned out that the player had forgotten to check the map and accidentally stumbled upon the waiting hall, thinking that leaving the train station must be through there, and thus encountered the "welfare monster."

According to the player's account, he paid the price of one death and killed the welfare monster in two attempts, then obtained a treasure chest, which seemed to contain quite a few good items!

In this life, Zhang Yi arrived at the waiting hall before anyone else, so that welfare monster had to be his.

A Level 1 player soloing a Level 2 bio-spider would be very difficult, but that was for ordinary players. For Zhang Yi, who possessed the 【Dragon Bloodline】 and had the divine iron hammer, it was no problem at all.

Thus, Zhang Yi's gaze was fixed on the Level 2 bio-spider resting at the entrance of the waiting hall.

Taking advantage of the feature that bio-spiders would not attack unless provoked, Zhang Yi approached with the large iron hammer.

With a "clang," he struck the giant bio-spider, which was at least one meter tall.

"Roar!"

A roar, and a red damage number appeared above the bio-spider's head—

-8!

The 5-star growth from the Dragon Bloodline combined with the iron hammer made Zhang Yi's attack power almost double that of other players with beginner swords, and the damage to the Level 2 bio-spider was quite significant.

The bio-spider, suddenly attacked, immediately turned around, swinging its eight furry legs and opening its massive mouth to bite at Zhang Yi.

Zhang Yi quickly retreated to avoid it, then swung the hammer again, dealing another 8 points of damage to the bio-spider's head.

In his previous life, he wasn't a top-tier expert, but he did have some basic positioning skills.

Thus, Zhang Yi dodged the bio-spider's attacks as much as possible while looking for opportunities to strike with the iron hammer. After all, if he were hit by the bio-spider, with his 3 defense points, he would lose 7 health points, and if the 【Poison】 talent was triggered, he would lose another 5 health points.

Resources were scarce in the early stages, and the system-provided potions were not to be used at this time.

In half a minute, Zhang Yi had struck the bio-spider ten times, reducing its health by 80 points.

The final strike dealt a golden critical hit—

-16!

"Roar!"

With a roar, the bio-spider fell dead before Zhang Yi.

" Ding~ You have killed the 【Bio-Spider】, +2 experience!"

With the death of the bio-spider, a loud "thud" was heard, and a golden chest dropped from its corpse!

Sure enough, it dropped a chest!

Zhang Yi was delighted, crouched down, and opened the 【1-Star Treasure Chest】.

" Ding~ Congratulations on opening the 【1-Star Treasure Chest】, you have obtained 【Level 1 Reinforcement Stone】 x30!"

The treasure chest was like a welfare lottery in the Enlightenment World, with rarity determined by stars. The higher the star rating, the better the items inside.

For Zhang Yi, who possessed the 【Divine Reinforcement】 talent, the 30 reinforcement stones in the chest were like a timely rain!

Thus, Zhang Yi eagerly used the reinforcement stones to enhance the large iron hammer in his hand. Each reinforcement consumed one Level 1 reinforcement stone, and a series of pleasant system prompts sounded in his ears—

" Ding~ Reinforcement successful, congratulations on upgrading your equipment 【Rough Iron Hammer】 to +1!"

" Ding~ Reinforcement successful, congratulations on upgrading your equipment 【Rough Iron Hammer】 to +2!"

" Ding~ Reinforcement successful, congratulations on upgrading your equipment 【Rough Iron Hammer】 to +25! Activated exclusive talent 【Severe Wound】!"

He opened the attributes of the 【Rough Iron Hammer】 again to check—

【Rough Iron Hammer】【+25】:

Quality: 1-Star

Physical Attack: +18 (13) (parentheses indicate reinforcement bonus)

Class Restriction: None

Level Requirement: 1

Exclusive Talent: Severe Wound (Passive, the user's attacks deal an additional 30 points of damage)

Description: Don't underestimate this iron hammer; it can easily shatter your beginner sword into pieces...
