The prairie map before Xu Kun wasn't small, and Gentle Rabbits were scattered all over the place. Even though Xu Kun had the ability to instantly kill one, the rest would immediately run away after he killed one!

And with the [Spirit of Grass]'s recovery, these Gentle Rabbits could slowly recover their health as long as they ran far enough!

Having Xu Kun kill them one by one would be too much of a waste of time!

But Xu Kun wasn't stupid. He had area-of-effect skills, so why bother killing them one by one?

He might as well kill two birds with one stone, wiping them out in groups!

As soon as Xu Kun finished speaking, a fiery cloud appeared above the heads of these huddled Gentle Rabbits!

In the Gentle Rabbits' terrified eyes, a rain of fireballs fell!

[Wildfire]: Deals (Magic Attack Power + Fire Attack Power) x1.2 fire damage per second to an area (50x50), lasting 10 seconds. Stamina Consumption: 100 Cooldown: 300 seconds

A circle with a diameter of 50 was roughly an area of 20 square meters, and the huddled Gentle Rabbits in the distance occupied about that much space!

With Xu Kun's level 1 stats, he could deal 340/S fire damage!

Gentle Rabbits, with their F-grade talent and level 2, couldn't possibly have any fire resistance, which meant that every fireball dealt true damage!

"Gugu gugu!"

The Gentle Rabbit group let out terrified cries, trying to use their voices to drive away the fireballs falling from the sky, but how could they!

The dense rain of fireballs evenly showered every Gentle Rabbit within range, and from a distance, Xu Kun could smell the aroma of roasted rabbit!

[-340], [-340]...

Not a single Gentle Rabbit could withstand a fireball. The layered rabbit group was cremated layer by layer by the rain of fireballs!

And in Xu Kun's ears, a constant stream of notifications sounded.

[Ding, you have killed a Gentle Rabbit, experience +0.8%] [Ding, you...]

Fortunately, Xu Kun had gotten used to this constant stream of sounds when he killed the Cavern Giant Rats before. He held his breath and focused, looking at the rabbit group that was now in complete chaos!

The Gentle Rabbits in the very center were self-righteous, thinking that they were safest in the middle of the group. Unfortunately, area-of-effect damage didn't care about that. The deeper inside, the less chance they had to escape!

On the other hand, the Gentle Rabbits on the edge, who had joined the group last, panicked and tried to escape after seeing their companions die!

Xu Kun had no pity for them!

He threw out an Explosive Fireball. This single-target skill dealt much more damage than Wildfire's area damage. The huge fireball smashed over, instantly killing not only the Gentle Rabbit leading the escape, but also deterring the Gentle Rabbits behind it from fleeing!

In that one second of stunned silence, they could no longer escape the area-of-effect range and were swallowed by the sea of fire!

Of course, Explosive Fireball had a cooldown, so it couldn't stop all the escaping rabbits. Xu Kun decisively relied on his movement speed, which far exceeded that of the Gentle Rabbits, and chased after them with a sword!

-238!

Including the damage he had dealt when driving the Gentle Rabbits together, Xu Kun was surprised to find that every sword strike was a critical hit!

This discovery overjoyed him, and he knew that it was another benefit brought by his full luck value and Heavenly Blessing: Child of Fortune!

Full of morale, he let Wildfire continue to wash over the rabbit group, while he killed the fleeing rabbits one by one with his sword!

[Ding, you have killed a Gentle Rabbit, experience +0.1%]

"Huff!" Another Explosive Fireball killed the last Gentle Rabbit hiding in the grass, and Xu Kun collapsed to the ground, exhausted!

According to the notifications, he had killed all 200 rabbits on the prairie!

Wildfire had taken care of about 150-160 of them, and he had taken care of the rest one by one. It took him the better part of an hour, and now there wasn't a single rabbit left on the prairie.

His experience had also reached about 10% of level 2!

"Cavern Giant Rats gave me 1% experience each when I was level 0, but after leveling up to level 1, they only gave me 0.2% each. On the other hand, killing Gentle Rabbits at level 1 gave me 0.8% experience each, but after leveling up to level 2, they only give me 0.1%!"

This led to him accumulating only 10% of the experience pool after leveling up to level 2.

"Killing monsters of the same level gives much less experience than killing monsters of a higher level, which proves that it will be more and more difficult to level up!"

"But in the novice trial, there are only two hundred monsters of each level, so it's unrealistic to try to accumulate experience by killing monsters of the same level to level up!"

"Textbooks record that in the novice trial, if you have the ability, it's best to kill every monster along the way, so that you can level up to level 10 during the final trial, and your stats won't be too disadvantaged!"

Xu Kun sat cross-legged on the ground, muttering to himself!

With his speed, he could naturally cross the low-level monster area to kill high-level monsters, but that would definitely be a loss, whether it was the novice trial completion or the experience value, he had to kill his way up step by step!

[Ding, your novice trial completion +6%, current: 12%!] [Ding, congratulations on killing 100 F-grade race monsters Gentle Rabbit, [Myriad Races Bestiary] takes effect, congratulations on obtaining the F-grade skill [Spirit of Grass]!] [Spirit of Grass] Grade: F-grade support skill Effect: Recovery +5% (including medicine, skills...)

The skill that Gentle Rabbits used to eat grass to recover health was also transformed into a skill that fit Xu Kun.

"This counts as a passive skill, like Starfire's Undying effect, which can add 5% recovery. Although the F-grade boost isn't much right now, the effect will be great if it's upgraded later!"

Xu Kun didn't expect an F-grade skill to be that good. Collecting more and saving them for upgrades later would be beneficial!

After resting, Xu Kun stood up. He hadn't forgotten to collect his spoils!

He casually touched a Gentle Rabbit corpse, and a snow-white fur appeared in Xu Kun's hand.

Ding, you have picked up F-grade material - Gentle Rabbit Pelt. Heavenly Blessing: Child of Fortune is activated, upgraded to E-grade material - Snow Rabbit Pelt! Snow Rabbit Pelt

Grade: E-grade

Function: Snow Rabbit Pelt has a good effect on resisting wind and snow. It is an excellent material for tailoring apprentices to practice with. Ten pelts can be used to make a fur coat!

Xu Kun was no stranger to E-grade species like the Snow Rabbit!

Snow Rabbit materials, as described in the function, are very popular.

After Earth's great changes, the winter temperature was particularly cold. Species like the Snow Rabbit, which are accustomed to living in the icy and snowy environment, its fur has always been a popular material on the market!

"This complete pelt should sell for about 1,000 yuan!"

1,000 yuan, that's Xu Kun and his mother's living expenses for half a month!

Moreover, there are more than just one pelt on the ground full of rabbit corpses!

"Pick up more, sell some for money, and make two more sets to make a fur coat for my mom and Second Mom to keep warm!"

Xu Kun's enthusiasm soared, completely different from his previous disregard for the Cavern Giant Rat, and he tirelessly threw himself into the ranks of picking up corpses.

With a full value of luck, Xu Kun didn't have the confusion of picking up empty-handed that ordinary people encounter!

In addition to material upgrades and 100% pickup, Xu Kun's better point than others is that the materials picked up by ordinary people are likely to be incomplete, such as 30% integrity Gentle Rabbit Pelt, which would greatly reduce the price!

After happily picking up a dozen pelts, Xu Kun had another harvest.

Ding, you have picked up F-grade food - Roasted Gentle Rabbit Meat. Heavenly Blessing: Child of Fortune is activated, upgraded to E-grade food - Roasted Snow Rabbit Meat! Roasted Snow Rabbit Meat

Grade: E-grade

Function: After eating, it can restore 20/S health, duration: 10S!

Smelling the fragrant Snow Rabbit meat in front of him, Xu Kun swallowed and took a bite directly.

It melted in his mouth, and the fragrance exploded on his taste buds in an instant. This was a delicacy Xu Kun had never tasted before!

The fragrance of the food made Xu Kun squint his eyes in satisfaction, savoring the pleasure it brought!

Even without any seasoning, it is still a delicacy!

"Not bad, not bad, pick up more, take some back to my family, and send some to Jianjian's family!"

For Xu Kun, 20/S recovery is nothing, the key is that the meat is delicious, and you can't usually eat it!

The meat of various edible species on the market has been speculated to a sky-high price!

Some wealthy families can't wait to feed their children with this nutritious flesh and blood every meal, just hoping to add a little basic attributes through dietary supplements before the novice trial!

Although Xu Kun didn't have in-depth research on this, he estimated that the value of this piece of meat might not be lower than the value of a pelt!

After all, the people regard food as heaven! This has been the case since ancient China thousands of years ago!

Heave-ho, heave-ho, our people are really happy today!

After another hour of busy work, Master Xu finally scoured the rabbits on the grassland.

He obtained 120 complete Snow Rabbit pelts and 80 pieces of roasted Snow Rabbit meat.

He happily put them into his backpack, as long as the trial is over, he can take them out of the tower!

His own lost health and mana have also returned to full after leaving the battle.

"Continue, continue!"

For others, the novice trial is like going through the gates of hell, but for Xu Kun, it's like a journey to get rich. How could the little sweetness of the Gentle Rabbit stop him!

Crossing the grassland, Xu Kun hid behind a big tree and quietly observed. The [Myriad Races Bestiary] appeared in his palm, scanning the species monsters not far away!

Bladehorn Sheep

Talent: F-grade Horn Blade (+5% Physical Attack)

Level: 3

Attack Power: 18-20

Health: 220-250

Physical Defense: 10-12

Evasion: Unable to evade "Kun's" attack

Movement Speed: 1M/S

Skill: [Bleeding] - After the attack takes effect, it causes 5/S, a total of 10S of true damage!

Introduction: A low-level sheep species with ram horns on its forehead resembling sharp knives. They have a relatively docile temperament, but if they spot an enemy, they will use the knife-like horns on their heads to pierce the enemy's skin, letting them know they are not to be trifled with!

The stats are mediocre. Aside from the knife-shaped horn, they're pretty much the same as the ordinary mountain goats Xu Kun has seen!

He glanced at the Supreme-Grade Flame Spirit Sword in his hand. The cooldown for [Wrath of the Fire Dragon] still had two minutes left!

Xu Kun hesitated for a moment, muttering, "These sheep can't catch up to my speed. If it really comes down to it, I can run back to where I was before..."

Xu Kun wanted to test the trigger probability of [Wrath of the Fire Dragon]. After all, the first time he used it was on those filthy rats, and he didn't even get a good taste of it. But Level 3 Bladehorn Sheep were not comparable to Level 1 Cavern Giant Rats. If he got surrounded, he would surely die!

But Xu Kun wasn't one to hesitate. With a speed far exceeding that of the Bladehorn Sheep, he was confident he could give it a try!

No sooner said than done, Xu Kun stepped out from behind the tree he was hiding behind and shouted at the herd of sheep that were busy grazing, "Hey, you sons of bitches!"

Baa~

Not a single sheep paid any attention to Xu Kun, still grazing on their own.

Xu Kun: ...

"Damn it, just because I'm not showing my might doesn't mean you can treat me like a karaoke bar!"

Xu Kun's face flushed red, and he conjured a fireball with one hand!

"Eat this Explosive Fireball!"

He threw it towards the center of the herd.

Boom!

The Explosive Fireball didn't hit any sheep, but the blast of air it created had already attracted the herd's aggro.

"Hey, you sons of bitches, come and hit me!" Xu Kun said with his arms crossed and a provocative expression on his face.

Baa baa baa~

The enraged sheep were also very cooperative, calling their friends and charging towards Xu Kun in groups.

With 200 sheep running at the same time, Xu Kun felt the earth trembling. He swallowed and ran away, keeping the sheep at a safe distance!

Xu Kun circled the sheep's habitat, constantly throwing Explosive Fireballs to further enrage the herd. Listening to the continuous bleating behind him, Xu Kun took the time to look back.

"Hey, you're all keeping up!"

With a sudden stop, Xu Kun stood his ground, and the distance between the sheep and him instantly narrowed!

He glanced at the Flame Spirit Sword in his hand and muttered, "Bro, I'm counting on you!"

His upper body was ready for battle, but his lower body was already prepared to run!

As soon as the first Bladehorn Sheep approached, Xu Kun gritted his teeth and slashed out with his sword!

A heat surged in his palm, and Xu Kun revealed an evil smile.

"Bro, it's stable. Come on, sheepies, eat Grandpa's Wrath of the Fire Dragon!"

Boom!

The terrifying fire dragon once again leaped out from the Flame Spirit Sword, entering the herd of sheep like entering a land without sheep!
