Rabbit

After using a skill, he could sense that it was not just Mana Points being consumed; his mind seemed a little fatigued as well.

Chen Yi guessed that this might be related to the 100% Realism. Whether that guess was correct could only be confirmed after learning more.

"Other Things aside from the staff weren't given for the map-running quest, and the cheapest black bread at Auntie Wang's costs 2 Copper Coins each. I don't want to starve to death, so I need to earn at least 2 Copper Coins today."

That was what he said, but Chen Yi did not immediately start looking for Rabbits.

Although Rabbit Plains was called a plain, the terrain was not particularly flat. The grass gave off a pleasant scent with droplets of water clinging to it. It had probably rained not long ago.

Chen Yi moved on tiptoe to avoid leaving too many footprints, then hid in a patch of thick, healthy grass.

The grass brushed against his skin through the gaps in his clothes. The sensation was unpleasant, but Chen Yi remained perfectly still and even tried to lower the sound of his breathing.

Time ticked by. Chen Yi did not have to wait Long Time before a three-person party Appeared on Rabbit Plains.

Judging by their weapons, they were a male Warrior, a female Archer, and a male Cleric. They were all fairly young and should have entered in the same batch of eligible recruits, which put Chen Yi somewhat at ease.

Being young meant they lacked the experience of veterans. His unprofessional hiding spot would not be so easily discovered.

The Warrior carried his sword on his shoulder and walked at the front, followed by the Cleric, with the female Archer bringing up the rear.

"Zhou Xu, please take this seriously. The instructor said Game World is dangerous!" The female Archer, Zhou Xiaoxiao, frowned as she saw Zhou Xu's carelessness.

Zhou Xu curled his lip. Wasn't Game World just about playing games and getting Stronger? What was there to be careful about? The instructor was not necessarily right about everything.

"Don't worry. No Rabbit can break through my defenses."

The Cleric, Zhou Weirong, remained silent, but judging from his expression, he seemed more supportive of Zhou Xu. What was there to fear from Rabbits?

At that moment, a Black Shadow suddenly shot out of the grass. It rammed straight into Zhou Xu's chest, sending Zhou Xu, who had Just Now been boasting, flying more than a meter away.

At the same time, the Black Shadow performed a nimble backflip and landed on the ground. It was none other than the quest target—the Rabbit.

Compared to ordinary Rabbits, this one was several sizes larger. Its grayish-black fur and scarlet eyes made it utterly devoid of cuteness.

"Does it deal that much damage?"

Zhou Xu, who had been knocked flying, wiped the blood from the Corner of the Mouth and charged at the Rabbit as if nothing had happened.

Although the Rabbit was fast, it had not yet exceeded what the naked eye could perceive.

Zhou Weirong used his massive cross as a shield to block the charge. As Zhou Xu's longsword came slashing down, the Rabbit kicked off the cross, Dodged the slash, and Created Distance from the two of them.

The Archer, who had been aiming for a long time, released her draw. The arrow whistled past the Rabbit and buried itself in the soil.

"Use a skill!"

Zhou Xiaoxiao's voice carried a sob. "I already did."

Seeing the Rabbit charge at them Once Again, Zhou Xu clicked his tongue and rushed forward.

Behind him, Zhou Weirong Raised High his cross. A beam of light then shone on Zhou Xu, and Zhou Xu's condition visibly improved.

Zhou Xu swung his longsword with some technique, but his less-than-masterful swordsmanship only landed hits occasionally.

The Rabbit's ears struck him from time to time, chipping away at his health. With the Cleric's support, his overall health remained fairly healthy, but Zhou Xu, who had yet to land a decisive blow, grew increasingly anxious.

"Die, die, die!"

"Consecutive Slashes!"

As Zhou Xu roared, the longsword In Hand paused briefly. Then he swung two strikes faster than his previous sword speed. The Rabbit failed to Dodge, and one slash struck its throat.

The Rabbit fell limply to the ground. With a crisp sound, its corpse Turned Into light, leaving behind two Copper Coins.

If you think this book is good, please remember to add it to your bookshelf so you don't lose it next time.

The trio Picked Up the Copper Coins, rested briefly, and continued deeper into the plains.

Only after a Long Time did Chen Yi Walked out of the grass. He was glad he had not rashly gone looking for Rabbits.

A Rabbit's speed was not something a combat novice like him could react to.

There had been so many people forming parties in the beginner village earlier that it had made Chen Yi wary. Now it seemed that being cautious in Game World could not be wrong!

These Rabbits had clearly been enhanced, yet their strength was still kept at a level that beginner Players could overcome.

And the way the Warrior had killed the Rabbit Just Now gave Chen Yi an idea.

The Rabbit still retained a living creature's weak points. It was not a completely data-based lifeform where attacking any part dealt the same damage.

As long as he targeted its weak points, even Chen Yi could achieve a one-hit kill.

With a plan in mind, Chen Yi crouched in the grass Once Again.

Rabbits did not Appear here very frequently, but that made it the most suitable place for Chen Yi.

Don't Know how much time had passed, Chen Yi's legs had long since gone numb, but his eyes remained fixed on his surroundings, unwilling to miss the slightest movement.

"Rustle~"

The sound of grass shifting touched Chen Yi's taut nerves.

A black Rabbit poked its head out of the grass. It looked around from time to time, only lowering its head to nibble on the grass after making sure it was safe.

Chen Yi did not dare move, afraid of making a sound and startling the Rabbit away, or being sent flying by its charge.

This distance was still too far. Closer, just a little closer...

The Rabbit failed to notice the crouching Chen Yi and simply searched for fresh grass. The unguarded Rabbit eventually Approached Chen Yi.

"This distance is enough!"

His heart suddenly pounded as he rapidly constructed the framework of Fireball In Mind. The moment the fireball formed, he flung it out.

When the Rabbit heard the Strange Sound and looked up, a somewhat unstable fireball had already arrived before its head.

It kicked wildly with both legs, trying to escape, but it was already too late!

"Boom!"

The blast sent the airborne Rabbit flying. The instant heat raised multiple blisters on part of its body, while its head, which had suffered the heaviest impact, was visibly dazed.

Chen Yi hurried out of the grass, Raised the Staff, and smashed it down hard at the Rabbit.

Constructing Fireball again took too long. Chen Yi did not dare gamble on whether an accident might occur during that time, so physical attacks were the more suitable method instead.

The Rabbit, whose body was not in good condition, was About to Dodge, but its body would not obey. Its legs weakly pawed at the ground.

As Chen Yi attacked Once Again and again, the Rabbit finally collapsed and Turned Into White Light, leaving behind a rabbit leg and 1 Copper Coin.

EXP+5

Reaching level two required 100 Experience Points, which meant he could level up after killing 19 more Rabbits.

Chen Yi Picked Up the rabbit leg and Copper Coin and headed for another location. The explosion might have scared away the other Rabbits, making this place unsuitable for continued waiting.

Although Chen Yi's first battle had not been flashy and had even looked somewhat bedraggled, he smiled happily.

The tension, excitement, unease, and final satisfaction of victory that battle brought were all experiences he had never had before. Chen Yi did not dislike those feelings. He was even somewhat addicted to them.

"This is what I wanted!"
