Chapter 7

"Wow, this backpack fills up so quickly!" Before long, Jiang Fei found his backpack full again. He glanced at the mysterious ring, but the engraving on it was less than one-tenth complete!

"What's going on? Why is the upgrade suddenly so slow?" He wondered if the experience gained from sacrificing trash had decreased after the ring's level increased. Jiang Fei speculated.

"Let's try this!" Without hesitation, he threw the white dagger he had just replaced into the red slot of the ring's space!

"Hum!" After five minutes, the dagger was sacrificed, and the engraving on the ring increased by about five percent. This was much more effective than sacrificing ingredients before!

"Damn! It seems that feeding you only trash won't work anymore!" Jiang Fei sighed. Clearly, the higher the ring's level, the more advanced the sacrifices needed to be!

He returned to the beginner village, sold all the trash he had, and then went back to the old place to kill monsters. Although the monsters here were only level 7 or 8, the experience they gave was not much for a level 9 Jiang Fei. However, the location was remote, and after driving away the Wild Wolf trio, no one was competing with Jiang Fei for the monsters, so his leveling speed was actually faster than fighting level 10 monsters with others!

" Ding! You have killed a Rake Cat and gained 50 experience points."

"Roar!" Just as Jiang Fei was about to pick up the corpse, a roar suddenly echoed in his ears!

" Ding! You have killed over 500 Rake Cats in this area, and the Rake Cat Lieutenant has come to seek revenge!"

"Damn! Is this for real?" Jiang Fei was shocked! This scenario, where killing a certain number of small monsters would summon a mini-boss, was a game setting. Some special small monsters would summon their leader when killed by a single player to a certain number. However, most players would move to higher-level areas after leveling up, so no one had discovered this yet!

Following the roar, Jiang Fei immediately saw the mini-boss Rake Cat. This mini-boss was about three times the size of a regular Rake Cat, and the rake in its hand glinted menacingly, clearly not to be underestimated!

Rake Cat Lieutenant (Humanoid, Rare Elite)

Level: 10

Health: 700

Attack: 12

Skill: Fierce Strike, deals 1.5 times base damage.

Note: A lieutenant of the Rake Cat army, low danger level, no quests involved!

In "Dawn," small monsters were divided into three categories: common, elite, and elite elite. Mini-bosses were divided into four categories: rare elite, leader, lord, and monarch. Among mini-bosses, rare elites were not considered true mini-bosses; they were more like Easter eggs. The challenge was finding them! Rare elites were only slightly stronger than common small monsters and not as powerful as elite small monsters of the same level, but they always dropped a green item, making them essentially money bags!

However, from leaders onward, they were true mini-bosses, capable of easily defeating elite elites of the same level. Typically, at least a fully equipped team or even more players were needed to deal with them!

So when Jiang Fei saw the Rake Cat Lieutenant, he was not at all nervous but rather overjoyed. This was like a gift of equipment!

"Beast! Take this!" Jiang Fei swung his longsword and charged forward!

-33!

"Meow!" The mini-boss roared in pain and swung its rake in retaliation!

-7!

Unfortunately, Easter egg mini-bosses were very weak, and this Rake Cat was no exception. Although Jiang Fei was equipped with white gear, he had nearly 300 health at level 9. Despite having only half the health of the mini-boss, his attack power was far superior, and the battle was almost a foregone conclusion!

"Meow!" With a final scream, the Rake Cat Lieutenant fell dead, ending its brief life as a money bag.

" Ding! You have killed the Rake Cat Lieutenant and gained 380 experience points!"

"Awesome!" Jiang Fei grinned. This mini-boss was not much stronger than a regular small monster but gave nearly seven times the experience!

" Ding! You have obtained the Accurate Spirit Cat Boots!"

With a quick flip, the money bag mini-boss indeed left a green item!

Accurate Spirit Cat Boots (Boots, Excellent Quality)

Movement Speed +3

Jump +1

Agility: +2

Accuracy: +2

Equipment Level: 9

"Great! It's boots!" Jiang Fei was delighted. The easiest items to drop were usually chest armor, pants, and weapons, while other equipment, especially special attribute items like boots, were rare!

In "Dawn," the base attributes of weapons and five pieces of jewelry were attack, including necklaces, a pair of rings, and a pair of accessories. The base attributes of the head, chest, hands, wrists, legs, and shoulders were defense. Boots and capes were special attribute items, with boots having base attributes of movement speed and jump, and capes having no base attributes but a base skill.

After equipping the boots, Jiang Fei noticed a significant increase in his movement speed. A three-meter-per-second movement speed boost was impressive in the game, almost doubling his speed!

Not only that, but the boots also increased his jump height by one meter, allowing him to climb places that were previously difficult!

"Awesome!" Jiang Fei clenched his fist excitedly and dove back into the leveling grind!

...

" Ding! All players, please note that the server will shut down in 30 minutes. Please prepare to log off and start a new day!"

"Damn! Time flies!" Jiang Fei cursed under his breath, glancing at his experience bar, which was about one percent away from leveling up. He needed to kill five or six more monsters to level up!

Although Jiang Fei had initially calculated that he would definitely reach level 10 today, he never expected that after killing the Rake Cat Lieutenant, the Rake Cats in that area would stop respawning. So he had to switch to another map and compete with others for monsters, which naturally slowed down his leveling speed!

" Ding! You have killed a Land Bird and gained 65 experience points!"

" Ding! Congratulations, player Grass on the Fly, you have reached level 10! All attributes +2!"

" Ding! Player Grass on the Fly, you have officially graduated from the beginner village! Please go to the village chief, who will guide you to your city for a job! You will not gain experience until you are employed!"

A prominent red arrow appeared under Jiang Fei's feet, guiding him to the village chief!

" Ding! All players, please note that the server will shut down in 5 minutes. Please prepare to log off and start a new day!"

"Hey! Perfect timing, I'll log off right after returning to the beginner village!" Jiang Fei smiled. No matter what, today's task was completed!
