Chapter 3

For most games, quest items are just quest items, with no other uses.

But "Dawnlight" is different. This kite can be modified into a glider, allowing players to glide down from high places without dying.

Of course, some necessary modifications are required.

The game rules state that players can modify items that belong to them.

Lu Li took off his clothes, cut them into strips, and tied them to the kite to secure himself.

Then, he had to go to the top of the mountain.

The first time, he failed, killed by two large wild boars; the second time, a level 6 forest leopard killed him; the third time was even worse, he encountered a group of jungle spiders...

In "Dawnlight," death is a common occurrence. Any player, unless they stay in the main city, will definitely die. During the early stages, dying ten to eight times a night is a regular occurrence.

It wasn't until the seventh attempt that Lu Li successfully stood on the mountaintop!

His weapon had dropped, and the few copper coins the system gave him were also gone. Fortunately, the kite, being a quest item, could not drop, or he would have been devastated.

Tying the kite securely, Lu Li took a deep breath and jumped off the mountain top toward the misty cliff.

The wind howled in his ears, and the extended wings worked as expected, slowing his descent.

Of course, the kite couldn't compare to a flying mount; the balance was hard to control, and he crashed into the mountain wall several times.

He was grateful again that the kite was a quest item and couldn't be damaged!

Bang!

-27!

-3 -3 -3...

The first damage was from the landing, and the subsequent -3s were from stepping on lava with one foot.

Fortunately, he reacted quickly and moved in time, or he would have failed.

Below was a more complex map, with smoke and dust swirling, and many areas boiling with fiery red lava. The air was thick with the smell of sulfur. This was the outer region of the Endless Abyss.

According to legend, the ancient Titan race sealed the fire lords of Azeroth deep within the Endless Abyss. Over millions of years, the fire lords' energy created countless lava beasts, making the Endless Abyss the most dangerous area on the continent.

Fortunately, there were no monsters around, or even a random one could have killed the level 0 Lu Li.

The location should be about right. Lu Li carefully searched and found his destination in just over ten minutes.

A stone house built on the edge of the Endless Abyss.

Inside the stone house were a stone table and stone chairs. On the stone table was a stone box, and inside the stone box was a ring.

The Supreme Ring (Silver):

Strength +1,

Agility +1,

Life Drain +1,

Special Effect: Empowered by the Jungle Lord Cenarius Moonlight, you can learn three druid shapeshifting skills and one skill from each shapeshifting branch.

Equipment Requirements: None

Durability: None

Yes, this was it.

In "Dawnlight," equipment tiers start from Common, Bronze, Black Iron, Silver, Gold, Dark Gold, Legendary, Mythical...

Common equipment has no attributes, only armor and damage. Bronze adds one basic attribute, Black Iron adds two basic attributes and has a chance to have a special effect... Mythical equipment adds eight attributes, and any Mythical item will have a special effect.

Cenarius is the son of the moon goddess Elune and the guardian of the path, Malorne, and the adopted son of the dragon queen Ysera. He is known as the Jungle Lord or the Jungle Demigod by the ancient elves.

He is a demigod and the mentor of the Night Elf Archdruid Malfurion Stormrage!

The Supreme Ring was a legacy item given by Cenarius to Malfurion Stormrage. There were originally a pair, but Malfurion felt he couldn't control its power and only wore one, leaving the other in an unknown corner of the Shadowglen.

Malfurion's twin brother, the most powerful demon hunter in the game's backstory, Illidan Stormrage, once sought this legendary item, but Cenarius, believing his heart was filled with darkness and madness, refused him.

In a sense, this differential treatment began to create a rift between the twin brothers.

The reason Lu Li could find this ring was simple: rebirth!

In his previous life, while farming gold, Lu Li befriended an elf warrior named Azure Breeze. This warrior could transform like a druid and had some healing and invisibility skills.

It sounded impressive, but don't think he was very powerful.

Lu Li knew that Azure Breeze, like him, was a poor gold farmer. His unique transformation ability often got him chased and killed, causing him to lose levels frequently.

Later, Azure Breeze showed Lu Li the equipment that allowed him to do all this—the Supreme Ring!

An upgradable ring—after three years of "Dawnlight" operation, upgradable equipment was rare!

Unfortunately, this magical equipment didn't bring Azure Breeze good luck.

First, it occupied an equipment slot. Although the Supreme Ring had three attributes, they were too minimal. Once Black Iron equipment became common, these attributes became negligible.

Moreover, each player could only equip two rings.

Second, to upgrade the equipment to the Supreme Ring II, Azure Breeze spent a lot of time and effort.

He had been on the level leaderboard since the game's launch, leading an elite team to repeatedly set records in public dungeons. Both his level and equipment were among the best in the game. But after getting the ring, his team disbanded, and his level and equipment gradually fell behind, eventually forcing him to farm gold...

Finally, the ring was very stubborn. Once you put it on, you couldn't take it off.

Azure Breeze tried to get rid of the ring by complaining to the game company and even attempting suicide, but it was all in vain.

If the game allowed account deletion, he would have deleted his account and started over long ago.

Now, the ring was in front of Lu Li!

In fact, Lu Li didn't hesitate. He put the ring on immediately.

The game had just started, and the Supreme Ring would give him a significant advantage over others.

As for the future, he believed he could quickly upgrade the Supreme Ring I to Supreme Ring II, III, IV, V...

Getting here was difficult, but going back was easy. Lu Li stood in the lava and died within minutes.

He respawned in Shadowglen.

"Look, there's another one who died and came back, too bad it's a guy."

"Ha, no way, he's only wearing a pair of shorts, how unlucky is that?"

"Hey, I recognize this guy, I've seen him a few times, is he addicted to dying?"

When the server first opened, there were many people, and some idle players gathered around the respawn point to watch the show, perhaps hoping to see a nearly naked woman.

Lu Li ignored them, pulled up the social channel, and entered the number of a discussion group.

"Hi, everyone!"

After a long silence, the discussion group finally came to life.

"Hey, isn't that the expert from the gold farming team? What level are you now?" Many people in the Star Moon Guild knew a new expert had joined, claiming he could earn 20 gold in a week, something even the guild's elites couldn't imagine. A gold farmer boasting like that naturally drew their ire.

"I don't dare call myself an expert, just call me Lu Li. I'm level 0 now," Lu Li said while finding an NPC to accept the quest to kill wild boar and nightblade cub.

"No way, I'm already at 30% experience for level 1, how can an expert still be level 0..."

"I'm level 1 too..."

"Ao Jian seems to be the highest level, almost level 2 now..."

"Does anyone in Shadowglen have a spare dagger or short sword?" Lu Li asked casually, "Lend it to me, and I'll return a weapon with attributes tomorrow."

"Wow, a weapon with attributes, no one has one yet."

"You're not fooling us, are you? Get lost!"

"Lu Li," Ao Jian finally spoke, his tone not very friendly, "It's been over an hour since the server opened, and you're still level 0, even your weapon dropped. Are you really capable?"

"We agreed that you would meet all my needs within your capabilities, right? By the way, not only the weapon, but my clothes and money are gone too. If anyone has some extra bread, could you give me a few?" Lu Li didn't feel embarrassed at all.

The discussion group was speechless. Damn, could you be any more shameless?
