White Rabbit

This world seemed to refresh every day, probably to ensure players had enough monsters to level up on. It also conveniently solved Chen Yi's living expenses.

With no more worries, Chen Yi threw himself wholeheartedly into mastering Fireball.

As time passed, fewer and fewer people remained in the Novice Village. By the seventh day, there were fewer than forty left, with an elimination rate of around 80%.

During those seven days, Chen Yi, the "weirdo" who did not level up and practiced Fireball every day, was noticed by more and more people.

Some were curious why he could live in Auntie Wang's house while they automatically triggered dialogue the moment they approached her.

Some expressed disgust, thinking Chen Yi was merely trying to show off.

None of this affected Chen Yi.

The players still in the Novice Village had basically reached Level 4 and were not far from Level 5. They had also lost interest in Chen Yi.

Some kind-hearted players offered to take Chen Yi leveling, but he refused them all. He did not want to gamble his life on someone else's goodwill.

Besides, at his current pace, leveling alone was no longer an unreachable dream.

Fireball casting time: 1s!

Chen Yi's clothes were ragged, making him look like a beggar, but his eyes only grew brighter.

Casting spells at high frequency and meditating every day were also training his mind.

For some reason, his profession on the panel still showed None. Although he had not gone out to level up, Chen Yi's base stats had grown stronger. This was the result of physical training.

On the twelfth day, a player reached Level 5 and turned into white light, leaving the Novice Village. ID 101101's Novice Village was left with only Chen Yi, one player.

That day, Chen Yi successfully compressed his casting time to 0.5 seconds. His Intelligence reached 8 points, and his Spirit reached 16 points.

Time to find rabbits...

Chen Yi ended this round of training and stepped onto the Rabbit Plains alone. He no longer needed to hide in bushes.

As he passed the place where he had hunted his first rabbit, he encountered another rabbit there.

As if by coincidence, this rabbit was black as well.

Chen Yi looked at the rabbit, and the rabbit saw Chen Yi too.

Whoosh!

The rabbit's instantly bursting speed made it look like a black shadow, zigzagging forward in a Z-shaped path.

Chen Yi focused intensely. The increase in Intelligence had strengthened his perception as well, allowing him to barely capture the rabbit's position and movement state.

The rabbit quickly approached Chen Yi. At the same time, it bent its legs like a compressed spring.

Now!

Chen Yi rolled to the left, dodging the rabbit's charge. He then raised his staff high, and a fireball instantly formed.

The fireball smashed toward the predicted landing spot. Unable to change direction in midair, the rabbit collided with it.

Boom!

The fireball exploded behind the rabbit. The impact force, combined with its own momentum, smashed the rabbit into the ground and left a small pit.

This time, it had not struck a vital spot. The rabbit shook its head in the pit, then quickly pushed off with its legs and dodged the second fireball. It was still fast, but nowhere near as fast as before!

When the second fireball missed, Chen Yi realized the rabbit was not stunned and quickly gave up the idea of engaging it in close combat.

As he retreated to create distance, he continued casting, predicting where the rabbit would move. This time, however, the fireball struck beside the rabbit's feet.

The distance closed further, but Chen Yi did not panic. He calmly watched the rabbit, constructing in his mind the structure he had completed countless times.

The fourth fireball exploded on the rabbit's body. His prediction had succeeded!

Hit by a fireball once again, the rabbit's condition worsened. Much of its body showed signs of being scorched, making it look somewhat pitiful.

But its opponent wasn't fooled. Another fireball exploded on the rabbit's body.

EXP+5

Chen Yi could truly feel himself becoming stronger.

He picked up two Copper Coins. This time, the rabbit had not dropped a Rabbit Leg.

After leaving the Rabbit Plains, he casually tossed the Copper Coins into the jar at Auntie Wang's—cross that out—his own home. He summarized the experience from this operation, then entered the Rabbit Plains again only after restoring himself to full condition through meditation.

At night, Chen Yi staggered back into the Novice Village. "Pharmacist Li, I want to buy potions."

Not every encounter went as expected. That White Rabbit could actually feint!

Its upper body made the motion of lowering for a charge, baiting Chen Yi into dodging. Only then did it launch its real charge.

Chen Yi only felt as though someone had smashed his stomach with a sledgehammer. His mind went blank, and he could not construct the extremely familiar structure no matter what. But his instinct to survive drove him into action.

He barely captured the rabbit's position and swung the staff in his hand with all his strength, successfully hitting the rabbit and creating a little distance.

This strike was not merely luck. The increase in Intelligence had given his perception a noticeable leap.

Creating distance gave Chen Yi a brief moment to catch his breath, allowing him to marshal his mind again.

At this moment, Chen Yi held up his staff, sweating coldly as he relied on perseverance to suppress the pain.

The White Rabbit charged forward once again. The distance between them had not been great to begin with, and it reached Chen Yi in an instant.

His eyes and perception captured the rabbit's charging windup. Chen Yi, who was about to dodge on instinct, held back.

No, it's still a feint!

The legs it actually used to exert force had not gathered strength.

The White Rabbit's attack was still a feint this time. It shifted past Chen Yi, and if Chen Yi had dodged and exposed an opening, the White Rabbit would have charged immediately.

The next few times, the White Rabbit kept feinting. Not once did it truly charge, and Chen Yi absorbed the techniques of feinting from the battle.

But a rabbit was still just a rabbit. After a few more unsuccessful feints, it clearly became anxious.

Chen Yi raised his staff, and a fireball instantly formed as he predicted the White Rabbit's landing spot.

The fireball exploded before its eyes, seemingly making the rabbit's pupils shrink a little—if it even had pupils.

The explosion acted as a deterrent, making the rabbit more cautious.

The two were locked in a standoff. Chen Yi's body started secreting hormones, and his injuries were no longer painful. Instead, he felt a burning sensation.

Without pain affecting him, Chen Yi's Fireball casting time became even shorter.

Seeing Chen Yi raise the staff, the White Rabbit hurriedly changed direction and leaped high. The imagined fireball was not cast down; instead, it had only just formed before the staff.

"Thank you for your guidance. And goodbye."

The fireball exploded on the White Rabbit's body. As the White Rabbit fell, another fireball struck it. When it tried to get up again, yet another fireball hit.

EXP+5

The White Rabbit's body turned into fragments, leaving behind a Rabbit Leg and 2 Copper Coins.

"Was this guy really mass-produced?"

No one could answer Chen Yi. He quickly ran towards the Novice Village. After the hormones wore off, Chen Yi would very likely lose his combat ability.
