Critical Strike: Immediately attack the opponent, causing 120% damage and increasing the critical hit rate by 10% for 10 seconds, with a 5-second cooldown. (This skill is only available to Beginners and will disappear after changing class.)

A standard human beginner player, equipped with two system-provided items: a wooden sword and a cloth robe. These two items were already automatically equipped, providing a +1 attack and +1 defense, which had almost no noticeable effect.

The newbie village was quite ordinary, and even though Jiang Fei was relatively skilled at gaming, he didn't find anything new. There were only twelve NPCs, and nine quests could be accepted. Even if other players asked around, they could complete all the quests.

"Great adventurer! You've finally come! Our restaurant's ingredients are all used up. Could you help me collect ten pieces of chicken? I'll give you a reward!"

"Great adventurer! You've finally come! Our tailor's fur is all used up. Could you help me collect ten pieces of deer skin? I'll give you a reward!"

"Great adventurer! You've finally come! Our pharmacy's herbs are all used up. Could you help me collect ten pieces of heather? I'll give you a reward!"

...

"Ah! It seems the main opponents are still other players!" Jiang Fei sighed. The problem in the newbie village wasn't the difficulty of the quests, but the scarcity of monsters. As soon as a small monster respawned, four or five players would rush over to gang up on it. Collecting the quest items wasn't easy.

After a lot of effort, he finally found a small monster that no one else had noticed. When Jiang Fei locked his gaze on this monster, something strange happened!

Plymouth Rock Chicken (Beast, Normal Monster)

Level: 1

Health: 50

Attack: 2

Skills: None

Note: A beginner-level monster in the newbie village, extremely low danger. Involved in the quest "Collect Chicken," issued by the restaurant owner!

"What the heck! What's going on? This information is too detailed!" Jiang Fei was surprised at the detailed information displayed. Through other means, Jiang Fei wasn't completely ignorant of "Dawn." According to official information, the game had reconnaissance skills. Without such skills, players could only see the monster's name, level, and health percentage. Other information was impossible to see!

However, he could see the detailed information of this monster, including the quest it was involved in and who issued it. This was like having a built-in game database! So Jiang Fei's gaze subconsciously turned to the magical ring on his hand!

"Buzz!" The ring emitted a faint silver light, as if responding to Jiang Fei's guess!

"Is this thing a cheat?" Jiang Fei muttered to himself.

"Whatever, if I can't figure it out, I won't think about it! Kill monsters and level up!" Jiang Fei was a typical optimist, and he quickly shifted his focus to killing monsters and leveling up!

" Ding! You have killed a Plymouth Rock Chicken, gaining 2 experience points and one piece of chicken as a quest item!" In "Dawn," quest items are automatically added to the character's backpack, but equipment and other loot must be picked up by the player. Monsters that drop loot will have a flashing corpse.

However, Jiang Fei's luck wasn't that good. The Plymouth Rock Chicken he had finally managed to get didn't drop any loot, but he could still obtain some chicken meat by using the gathering skill. This chicken meat was different from the quest item; one was needed by the NPC, and the other was an ingredient for the cooking profession.

After a lot of effort to get a monster, Jiang Fei naturally didn't want to waste it. He immediately used the gathering skill, which the village chief would teach players for free.

" Ding! You have obtained one piece of delicious chicken through gathering!"

After putting the ingredients in his backpack, Jiang Fei began his conquest in "Dawn"!

...

" Ding! Congratulations, player Cao Shang Fei, you have reached level 1! All attributes +2!"

With the system's prompt, Jiang Fei was happy but also pouted. If he had known this wasn't a dream, he wouldn't have chosen such an unlucky name. However, to delete and restart would require a week's cooldown, and Jiang Fei didn't want to waste that time. So, even though the name sounded like a thief, he had to endure it!

In "Dawn," before level 10, attribute points were evenly distributed. Each level provided a total of ten attribute points, with two points added to each of the five basic attributes. Starting from level 11, the ten attribute points would be divided into two parts: five points evenly distributed and five points for the player to allocate freely.

"Charge!" With renewed motivation after leveling up, Jiang Fei swung his wooden sword at a nearby rabbit...

" Ding! You have killed a rabbit, gaining 5 experience points and one lucky rabbit claw as a quest item!"

" Ding! You have obtained one piece of delicious rabbit meat through gathering!"

...

Soon, two hours had passed, and Jiang Fei's level had already reached level 4. He had also acquired a damaged cloth pants, which increased his defense by one point.

By this time, Jiang Fei's standard system-provided backpack was already full. He had moved many items to the space provided by the mysterious ring. However, using the ring was inconvenient. When the system backpack was full, Jiang Fei would receive a prompt that the backpack was full when he tried to pick up items. He had to manually transfer items from the backpack to the ring and then pick up items through the backpack.

To make it easier to obtain quest items, Jiang Fei's backpack only contained quest items. Other ingredients and junk to sell to the store were moved to the ring!
