Due to leveling up, after allocating his attribute points, Yang Xuan's attack power reached 75-80. Instantly, the speed at which he killed the elite white-eyed rabbits increased. Previously, it took him four attacks to kill one, but now it only took three!

Ordinary players, even if they had an attack power as high as Yang Xuan's, wouldn't dare to kill elite white-eyed rabbits because their health couldn't withstand the damage. They would die before they could kill the monster. Only Yang Xuan, who could completely miss the attacks of the elite white-eyed rabbits, dared to farm monsters so recklessly. After all, the elite white-eyed rabbits had an attack power of 70, which was comparable to that of a regular level 5 monster.

"80!"

"MISS!"

Yang Xuan kept farming monsters. Although no equipment had dropped except for the initial defective swordsman's gauntlet, quite a few copper coins had dropped.

The probability of regular monsters dropping money was one in twenty, while for elite monsters, it was one in two, and they would drop 2 copper coins at a time. Therefore, Yang Xuan had collected quite a few copper coins.

"The price of copper coins on the forum has been hyped up to a minimum of 20 RMB for 100 coins, and it's still in high demand." Every time Yang Xuan obtained a copper coin, he would pick it up and put it in his backpack. This was real money!

"I wonder how many copper coins I can get today. Hmm... Although farming elite white-eyed rabbits now gives less experience than farming level 4 monsters, I can level up by killing higher-level monsters. I might as well keep farming copper coins and equipment here."

Level 4 monsters gave 14 experience points, which was 4 points higher than the level 0 elite white-eyed rabbits, but the drop rate was ten times lower. Therefore, Yang Xuan didn't plan to farm level 4 monsters. Since no one was competing for the monsters here, he decided to farm more equipment and money first. It would be hard to find monsters with a ten times higher drop rate in the short term.

...

Yang Xuan had been farming elite white-eyed rabbits since the afternoon, killing an average of 6 per minute, which was 360 per hour.

Yang Xuan farmed for a full 4 hours!

In those four hours, Yang Xuan obtained eleven pieces of equipment, over 1,200 copper coins, and his level directly rose to 6!

Ordinary players needed 500 experience points to level up from level 3 to level 4, 1,200 points from level 4 to level 5, 3,000 points from level 5 to level 6, and 8,000 points from level 6 to level 7.

Even though Yang Xuan needed twice the experience of ordinary players, after killing over a thousand elite white-eyed rabbits, he gained over 10,000 experience points, so he directly leveled up to 6!

"Now I have over 1,300 copper coins. Besides the beginner's sword, I have twelve pieces of equipment, including the Flowing Cloud Sword. Even the leaders of the studios can't match me!" Looking at the equipment and copper coins in his backpack, Yang Xuan felt a surge of confidence.

In reality, he was just a poor person in the slums;

In the game, with his talent and effort, he was confident he could surpass everyone!

Yang Xuan brought up the level ranking of Falling Leaf Town and saw that the top-ranked player was himself—Huangxuan Yang!

He stopped farming elite monsters because the durability of the Flowing Cloud Sword was very low. If the durability reached 0, it would degrade from a white item to a defective item, and the attack power would drop significantly. Although Yang Xuan had leveled up to 6, even without the Flowing Cloud Sword, his attack power was over 130, but the 7-11 attack bonus from the Flowing Cloud Sword was still significant. Every additional point of attack made killing monsters faster.

Yang Xuan walked towards Falling Leaf Town, planning to repair his equipment and log off, as it was time to eat.

...

"Have you noticed that the top-ranked player on the level list has been replaced!"

"I noticed it earlier. That guy, Huangxuan Yang, is too strong. He wasn't even in the top ten this morning, but in just a few hours, he's already at the top. I wonder how he leveled up so fast!"

"Huangxuan Yang? Could this be the expert from the video on the forum..."

"Rumor has it that Huangxuan Yang is a hidden class player and has super skills. He could solo elite white-eyed rabbits even at level 0!"

"Damn, solo? We need to form a team to farm regular monsters. No wonder he levels up so fast, getting all the experience by himself!"

As Yang Xuan walked, he overheard a five-person team discussing him and couldn't help but smile.

Being a legend in the game world felt pretty good.

"Hey, look at that person. Isn't that Huangxuan Yang?"

The cleric player in the five-person team suddenly exclaimed to the others.

The others quickly used the inspection skill on Huangxuan Yang.

"Sure enough, it's him!"

"Expert, please take us under your wing and let's form a team!"

Seeing the group running towards him, Yang Xuan was startled and quickly sped up, returning to Falling Leaf Town before they could catch up.

It seemed that being a legend in the game world had its downsides.

He repaired his weapon at the weapon shop for 5 copper coins and opened the forum.

Sure enough, in the featured posts, Yang Xuan saw a prominent title—<Falling Leaf Town's Hidden Class Expert—Soloing Elite at Level 0!>.

The post had pictures and even a video of Yang Xuan soloing an elite monster!

Hidden classes were one of the most popular topics among players, so the post had received hundreds of thousands of views and tens of thousands of replies, with the numbers still rising!

Seeing a level 0 player solo an elite monster, the players who watched the video were all amazed.

Most of the replies expressed shock and envy, while a few players felt unbalanced and angrily demanded that Yang Xuan be reported for cheating.

Yang Xuan found it amusing but didn't reply at all.

Now, the nickname "Huangxuan Yang" had left an impression on many players, making him somewhat famous. This was what Yang Xuan had hoped for. With fame, he wouldn't have to worry about money.

...

Clear Wind Town.

This was a neighboring newbie town to Falling Leaf Town. If one were willing, it would only take three to four hours to walk from here to Falling Leaf Town, but no one in the early stages would waste time traveling from one newbie town to another.

At a farming spot outside Clear Wind Town, a five-person team had just killed a level 4 wild wolf. All five players were female, and one of them, wearing three pieces of equipment, seemed to be the leader of the team. She had a stunning face and a figure that made hearts race, exuding a mature and dominant aura.

A player with three pieces of equipment at this stage was usually the leader of a studio. Indeed, this "Yeshi Piaoling" was the boss of the "Sisters' Flower Studio" and Xu Xiran's superior.

Xu Xiran, holding a beginner's sword, was also in the team.

"That's it for today. Everyone log off and come back online at 10 PM. We'll prepare to farm level 0 elite monsters and try to get some equipment to strengthen our studio," Yeshi Piaoling said to the others.

One of the petite cleric players said, "Boss, there's a video on the forum of a player soloing a level 0 elite monster!"

"Oh?" Yeshi Piaoling was slightly surprised. "The highest-level players are around level 5. If a level 5 player can solo a level 0 elite monster, their skills must be pretty good, able to dodge some of the elite monster's attacks. Otherwise, a level 5 player's health wouldn't be enough to withstand the elite monster's attacks. Is that player from Clear Wind Town? If so, we can recruit them to our studio."

The cleric player smiled mysteriously. "No, they're from Falling Leaf Town. Boss, the player who soloed the level 0 elite monster isn't level 5!"

Instantly, including Xu Xiran, several people looked at the cleric player in surprise.

If a level 5 player could solo a level 0 elite monster, their skills were only considered good. But if a player below level 5 could do it, there were very few people in Clear Wind Town who could match that!

"What level is that player?" Yeshi Piaoling asked.

Xu Xiran was also curious. With her current level 4 skills and superior skills compared to ordinary players, her chances of soloing a level 0 elite monster were only about 70%.

"The player who soloed the elite monster is only level 0. If you don't believe me, you can check the video on the forum. It's said that the player is a hidden class..." the cleric player said.
