Crazy Leveling Up

Bang!

Fan Lang smacked a wooden stick down on a big rabbit's head, triggering a critical hit and an instant kill.

Congratulations, player! You have killed 1 Fanged Rabbit. Gained 5 Experience Points.

The Fanged Rabbit dropped 2 Large Fangs and 1 Soft Rabbit Hide.

This was already the fifth Fanged Rabbit Fan Lang had killed, and he still hadn't run into a Unicorn Rabbit yet.

Unicorn Rabbits were real treasures—rare and not so easy to find.

Seven, ten, fifteen...

After killing a full fifteen Fanged Rabbits, Fan Lang finally encountered his first Unicorn Rabbit!

Behind a big tree crouched a furry giant rabbit, much larger than an ordinary one, with a sharp horn growing from its forehead.

Fan Lang's eyes lit up, like he'd spotted a naked little girl, and he immediately grabbed his wooden stick and charged.

The Unicorn Rabbit sensed something wrong, turned its head toward Fan Lang, and instantly readied for battle. It lowered its head, aimed its horn at Fan Lang, and braced to strike.

Fan Lang knew the Unicorn Rabbit's attack pattern inside out. Like a bullfighter, he easily dodged its charge and then smacked it right on the head with his stick.

Bang!

-27

A bright red number floated up from the Unicorn Rabbit's head.

-25

-48

Critical hit damage!

Fan Lang followed up with two more strikes and sent the Unicorn Rabbit to the afterlife.

Congratulations, player! You have killed 1 Unicorn Rabbit. Gained 80 Experience Points.

The Unicorn Rabbit dropped 1 Sharp Horn and 1 Premium Rabbit Hide.

Player level increased to Mystic Apprentice Level 4. Mystic Power +100, Health Points +100.

"Killing Unicorn Rabbits is way more satisfying—one of them is worth dozens of Fanged Rabbits. Awesome!"

Fan Lang felt a secret thrill.

About an hour had passed since he'd arrived at Wild Rabbit Forest. Leveling up in an hour was already pretty fast. For an Ordinary Person, it would usually take a whole month of hard training—or even longer—to get the same result.

But Fan Lang still wasn't satisfied!

"Leveling up is still too slow. If only the experience points were a bit higher..."

As this thought crossed his mind, a sudden flash of inspiration struck him.

If he thought the experience was too low, he could just modify it!

There were two ways to go about this kind of modification. One was to change the total amount of his own experience points. The other was to change the multiplier for gaining experience.

The first method was simpler and more direct.

Fan Lang found a big tree to take shelter in, avoiding any beast harassment. He leaned against the tree, closed his eyes, and immersed himself in a sea of information and data.

He deftly located his own experience data, made some adjustments, and changed it into an astronomical number.

A severe error occurred in the system data, causing the system to malfunction. It automatically restarted and repaired itself.

A prompt box popped up. The modified data was instantly restored, completely useless.

Fan Lang refused to give up. He tried a few more times, but it still didn't work.

With no other choice, he switched to the second method: modifying the experience multiplier.

The game already had settings like double experience, so this kind of modification was much easier and more stable.

Ten times experience!

Failed!

Five times experience!

Failed!

Three times experience!

Success!

Fan Lang modified it to triple experience. From now on, killing one monster would be like killing three. It was absolutely fantastic.

"Time to test it out!"

Fan Lang jumped down from the tree, full of excitement. He hadn't gone far before he ran into a Unicorn Rabbit. He immediately raised his wooden stick and charged.

"Little bunny, be good—hand over your life!"

Fan Lang beat the Unicorn Rabbit to death with a few strikes.

Congratulations, player! You have killed 1 Unicorn Rabbit. Gained 240 Experience Points.

The Unicorn Rabbit dropped 1 sharp horn and 1 piece of fine rabbit hide.

The player's level increased to Mystic Apprentice Level 5. Mystic Power +100, Health Points +100.

"Haha, it worked! Triple experience for real!"

Fan Lang's mouth was crooked with joy.

With triple experience, leveling up was way faster—like riding a rocket.

Sharpening the axe doesn't delay the chopping. Though modifying the system had taken a fair bit of time, it was worth it. With triple experience backing him, Fan Lang's level shot up like crazy.

Level 6, Level 7, Level 8, Level 9!

By noon, Fan Lang's level had risen to Mystic Apprentice Level 9. One more step and he'd be a Mystic Soldier. His personal stats finally had something worth looking at.

Fan Lang:

Level: Mystic Apprentice Level 9.

Mystic Power: 900*5.

Health Points: 900.

Skills: Thug Fist.

Equipment: Wooden Stick, Cloth Armor.

Experience Points needed for next level: 5600.

The most eye-catching figure in this string of data was the Mystic Power. 900*5 meant a whopping 4500 Mystic Power!

That Mystic Power far exceeded the normal standard for a Mystic Apprentice—even some Mystic Soldiers couldn't catch up.

After grinding experience for half a day, Fan Lang's stomach was growling. He decided to head back to Wind Cloud City for lunch, pick up a couple of quests on the way, and earn some more Experience Points.

Killing rabbits here happened to tie into two quests, so there was no reason not to do them.

Fan Lang returned to Wind Cloud City. It was a massive city with a population of a million, its walls towering high and security tight. Entering and leaving required inspection.

Once inside the city, Fan Lang headed straight for a blacksmith's forge—a quest location.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

A blacksmith swung his hammer, pounding a red-hot iron ingot. Each strike sent up a shower of sparks.

Most people took a quest first and then completed it, but Fan Lang was doing the opposite. Whether it would work, he wasn't entirely sure himself.

"You must be the famous Zheng the Blacksmith around these parts, right?" Fan Lang tested the waters.

The blacksmith stopped his work, wiped the sweat from his brow, and sized up Fan Lang. "That's right, I'm Zheng the Blacksmith. What business do you have with me?"

"I heard your kid had an accident in Wild Rabbit Forest before—got attacked by the Unicorn Rabbits there."

"That's true. The kid didn't know any better and snuck out behind my back to play. Almost lost his life in Wild Rabbit Forest. Makes me furious just thinking about it."

Fan Lang's heart leaped with joy. This is working!

The quest was simple: help Zheng the Blacksmith avenge his child by hunting down ten Unicorn Rabbits.

Fan Lang kept chatting with Zheng the Blacksmith, steering the conversation back to Wild Rabbit Forest.

The more Zheng the Blacksmith talked, the angrier he got. He slammed the table and said, "Those Unicorn Rabbits are despicable. I wish I could find a hunter to go into Wild Rabbit Forest and wipe them all out!"

The player triggered a hunting quest. Quest name: 'Zheng the Blacksmith's Fury.' Quest reward: Fine Iron Sword x1, Experience Points 1500. Time limit: 3 days.

All that talking hadn't been for nothing—he'd finally triggered the quest.

Fan Lang smiled, took ten sharp horns out of his system inventory, and placed them on the table.

"You don't need to hire any hunter. I happen to think Unicorn Rabbits are despicable too. I just went to Wild Rabbit Forest this morning and killed ten of them!" Fan Lang said with a grin.

Zheng the Blacksmith looked at the ten fresh horns on the table and felt a deep sense of satisfaction. He growled, "Well done! Little brother, you've avenged my son. I can't let that kindness go unrewarded. I've got a newly forged iron sword on hand—I'll give it to you as thanks!"
