Chapter 4

Rejecting the option of making a system announcement, Zhao Feng's mind shifted, and his backpack interface reappeared before him.

In the basic 20-slot backpack, only the first slot contained an item, and it was a nearly 2-meter-long staff!

Unlike the staff he currently held in his hand, this staff emitted a rich green light! Moreover, the ends of the staff were adorned with simple cloud patterns!

The overall appearance was far superior to the plain white staff!

With a light tap on the virtual screen, the attributes of the bronze staff appeared before Zhao Feng's eyes.

Green Peak Staff: Bronze Weapon,

Characteristics: Increases attack by 180

Usage Requirement: Level 10

The introduction of the Green Peak Staff was simple, but it filled Zhao Feng's eyes with surprise.

An excellent bronze weapon!

It was important to note that when most players were still around level 30, bronze weapons were the highest-tier items in the game. According to the summaries of various bronze weapons by the gaming community, the attack increase for bronze weapons ranged from 100 to 200!

The Green Peak Staff increased attack by 180! This was already considered extremely rare!

When he first broke through to the Great Success realm, he only gained some reputation. Breaking through to the Grandmaster realm, however, came with such a generous reward!

If he were to sell this bronze weapon now, even though it was a rather niche weapon, selling it for several thousand, or even tens of thousands of gold coins would not be a problem!

In the early stages of the game, an excellent weapon could give players a significant advantage. Although several thousand or tens of thousands of gold coins were a lot, compared to the advantage the weapon provided, they were insignificant!

Of course, in the current situation, even if it were worth ten thousand gold coins, Zhao Feng would not sell it!

Staff weapons were already rare, and selling it would make it extremely difficult to find another one of such quality!

With this weapon, he wouldn't have to worry about weapons until level 30!

Looking at the level 10 requirement, Zhao Feng smiled indifferently.

In the game "Creation," leveling up was difficult, but that was after the first class change at level 20. Before level 20, it was still relatively easy.

From level 1 to level 10, it only required about 50,000 experience points! It was rumored that from level 20 to level 21, it required 100,000 experience points!

After that, each level required two to three times the previous level's experience!

However, this was still a bit far off for Zhao Feng, and he didn't need to worry about it. For now, he only needed to focus on reaching level 10!

Checking the time, it was already around 1 AM.

But he had no sleepiness at all, and he was even quite energetic!

In the real world, he had reached the Transformation of Qi realm, and with the "qi" in his body, he could stay awake for up to three days! Additionally, lying on the water bed kept his body relaxed, extending this time even further!

He had once tried staying awake for five consecutive days, and his mental state was still excellent!

Most importantly, running the qi in his body for three hours had the same effect as a normal person sleeping for eight hours!

Because of these advantages, he could return so leisurely after eating.

Feeling good, he decided to level up directly!

He didn't need to choose a leveling location; the dense forest would do!

This was a higher-end map in the newbie village, with monsters ranging from level 10 to level 15.

Level 10 was the hedgehog, which moved slowly and was of no interest to Zhao Feng. He headed directly to the right side of the forest.

After about 10 minutes of walking, he arrived at a relatively open area with fewer trees but more weeds. There, some red-furred foxes were curled up and sleeping, with only a few wandering around.

It was probably because it was the early morning, and there were no other players besides Zhao Feng.

Level 10 and below monsters would not attack players, but level 10 and above might. The Fire Fox was one of those that would attack.

In the game "Creation," players could only view the attributes of monsters up to five levels higher than themselves. Zhao Feng, currently at level 1, could only see a string of question marks when he tried to view the Fire Fox's attributes.

He couldn't even see the name!

Not being able to view the Fire Fox's attributes wasn't a problem for Zhao Feng. The all-powerful player forums had already exposed all the details of the newbie village.

The Fire Fox was a level 15 monster with no intelligence, only capable of claw attacks. Its attack power was around 200, which was a significant threat to players wearing the basic white gear, as two or three claws could deplete a player's health!

But for Zhao Feng, this was no issue at all!

Holding the basic white staff, Zhao Feng walked directly toward the nearest Fire Fox. As he approached within 10 meters, the Fire Fox, which had been wandering around, suddenly turned to face Zhao Feng, baring its sharp teeth!

As a level 15 monster, the Fire Fox not only had high attack power but also fast speed. In just two quick movements, it was in front of Zhao Feng, 10 meters away!

At 2 meters from Zhao Feng, the Fire Fox leaped, its front claws extending sharply!

The Fire Fox was fast, but Zhao Feng was faster!

As the Fire Fox leaped, Zhao Feng narrowed his eyes, and his staff shot out like a venomous snake, striking the Fire Fox's neck with pinpoint accuracy!

System notification: Weak point attack, damage -3000! Gained 5000 experience! Congratulations, player level up!

As the pleasant electronic voice sounded in Zhao Feng's mind, the leaping Fire Fox froze and fell to the ground with a thud. A few silver coins and a shiny gold coin appeared on the ground.

At the same time, a gentle green light enveloped Zhao Feng.

Instant kill! Weak point attacks were indeed powerful!

Zhao Feng picked up the silver and gold coins, feeling very satisfied with his attack. He also gained a deep understanding of the game's extremely low drop rate.

According to his previous gaming experience, killing a monster 10 levels higher with a weak point attack should have increased the drop rate. However, he only got a gold coin and a few silver coins, not even a piece of basic gear!

At this moment, Zhao Feng finally understood why so many players cursed the "Creation" company on the forums. He wanted to curse too!

It was just like the style of Zhou Bapi's father!

Although there was no gear, the experience was still very generous. A single Fire Fox gave him 5000 experience points, directly boosting him to level 2!

Checking his character:

Name: Ghost Shadow Asura

Level: 2

Experience: 4080/5000

Health: 200

Attack: 160-200

Defense: 180

Agility: 45

Internal Energy: 0

Luck: 0

Personal Reputation: 1100

Although it was just a one-level increase, his attributes improved significantly.

At level 1, it wasn't noticeable, but at level 2, Zhao Feng could confirm that his attack had increased by 80-100, and his defense by 90!

Compared to the official limit of 100, he was almost at the limit!

This was without even choosing a class. If he did, his strength would see a qualitative leap!

Very good, very powerful!

Zhao Feng laughed triumphantly three times!!!

As he laughed, his staff shot out again!

Three more Fire Foxes had appeared around him, one in front and two on the sides!

"Bang"

Without any surprise, the tip of the staff struck the throat of the Fire Fox in front of him with perfect accuracy!

After hitting the throat, the system notification just appeared in Zhao Feng's mind when his arm swung left and right, causing the straight staff to bend and form layers of staff shadows in front of him!

The numerous staff shadows combined to form a large fan shape, with the two Fire Foxes attacking from the sides caught in the fan's edges!

A moment later, the layers of staff shadows disappeared, and the staff reappeared in front of Zhao Feng. The two Fire Foxes that had attacked from the sides were sent flying and fell to the ground, their heads twisted irregularly!

Next to the three Fire Fox corpses, a few gold coins and some silver coins appeared. Additionally, next to the corpse of the Fire Fox in front, there was a white-glowing longsword.

Finally, some gear! Although it was the lowest-quality basic gear, it was still the first piece of gear he had obtained!

Zhao Feng felt a bit teary-eyed. It was really damn hard!

At this moment, several system notifications appeared in his mind.

"System notification: Weak point attack, damage -3000! Gained 5000 experience! Congratulations, player level up!"

"System notification: Critical hit, damage -3000! Gained 5000 experience!"

"System notification: Critical hit, damage -3000! Gained 5000 experience! Congratulations, player level up!"

Instant kills, again! The Fire Fox in front was killed with a weak point attack, while the two on the sides were hit in the head and suffered critical hits due to the immense force of the staff!

3000 damage was likely the Fire Fox's health points; otherwise, the number would have been higher!

Killing three Fire Foxes, Zhao Feng's body flashed with green light twice, and his level increased to 4!

To level up from 4 to 5, he needed 8000 experience points!

With the experience boost, his base attack power also increased significantly! It was now 360-400!

With the addition of basic staff skills and Grandmaster-level staff skills, his attack power was now 900!

With 900 attack power, even without weak point attacks or critical hits, he could kill the Fire Foxes in two hits!

The thought made Zhao Feng excited!

With the level up and attack power increase, Zhao Feng had to consider something.

The experience was increasing so quickly because of the bonus for killing monsters higher than his level. The Fire Foxes were level 15, and he was about to reach level 5. Once he did, the bonus would be canceled, and the experience gained would decrease significantly.

The few Fire Foxes that were awake in the open area had already been cleared. There were about 20 more sleeping Fire Foxes.

If he could quickly kill them all, reaching level 10 should not be a problem!

Thinking this, Zhao Feng began to run quickly, circling around the sleeping Fire Foxes.

Every time he passed a Fire Fox, he would tap it with his staff.

The Fire Foxes, which would attack on their own, woke up instantly and quickly got up to chase Zhao Feng!

If someone were watching, they would be amazed!

Zhao Feng was running in front, with nearly 10 Fire Foxes chasing him closely!

The Fire Foxes were fast, staying about 2 meters behind Zhao Feng, within the range of their claws. With nearly 10 Fire Foxes, that was nearly 20 claws attacking!

But Zhao Feng, with his back to the Fire Foxes, seemed to have eyes in the back of his head. Whenever an attack came, his body would sway slightly, allowing the claws to miss him without causing any damage!

This was the crisis prediction skill that only the best players could master!

What Zhao Feng was doing was even more perfect and awe-inspiring than what was shown in the videos of the best players!
