Level 3 Monster, Instant Kill!

The wild monster area outside the Novice Village.

Su Yu had entered the game half an hour later than everyone else, and the monster area was already densely packed with players.

In Evolution, player leveling speed was extremely slow.

Killing a level 1 [Slime] only gave 1 Experience Point, and going from level 1 to level 2 required 1000 Experience Points.

A full one thousand Slimes had to be killed just to level up once!

So the level 1 monster area was completely filled with players.

Everyone spread out and guarded their spots; the moment a [Slime] respawned, five or six attack spells would rain down on it. The competition was fierce.

Su Yu had no intention of fighting over monsters with the crowd. He strode directly toward the higher-level monster zone.

The level 2 [Goblin] area had far fewer players.

Because a fresh level 1 character couldn't solo a level 2 monster; everyone here was in teams of three or four, working together to take down a single [Goblin].

At the entrance to the monster zone, a middle-aged warrior with a thick beard and a young, attractive female assassin stood there, discussing something.

Seeing Su Yu enter the monster zone, the young woman's eyes lit up, and she walked over to him:

"Hey there, friend, want to team up and hunt monsters? Our party has two people right now; with you, we can start fighting!"

Su Yu glanced at the name above her head.

"Snowflake Fall"—a very poetic name.

But he still smiled kindly and said, "I think I'll pass!"

At the same time, he pointed toward the level 3 monster zone. "I'm going to check that place out."

"Little brother, don't waste your time over there." The middle-aged uncle walked over to Su Yu and advised him, "My daughter and I just came back from the level 3 monster zone. To grind there, you need a full party of five, you must have a priest, and the efficiency is still terrible."

The middle-aged uncle's name was "Snowflake Cream," similar in style to his daughter's name.

But something about it felt a bit off.

"It's fine, I'm just going to take a casual look."

Su Yu declined their kindness and walked toward the level 3 monster zone.

Watching Su Yu's retreating figure, the middle-aged uncle shrugged and looked at his daughter. "Luo Luo, looks like we'll have to find someone else."

"Yeah! He's pretty handsome, but he doesn't seem too bright." Snowflake Fall made a funny face at Su Yu's back.

As Su Yu walked away, he overheard their conversation and couldn't help wiping the sweat from his brow.

He had already lowered his appearance by 40%, and he was still being called "pretty handsome"?

It seemed that wanting to be an ordinary person was really quite difficult!

Arriving at the level 3 monster zone, the number of players was very sparse.

Looking into the distance, Su Yu could only see three five-man teams grinding here.

The level 3 monster was called [Black Boar], with 50 HP.

The attacks from the five-man teams landed on the boar, only producing damage numbers like "-2" or "-3".

And after grinding for a while, either the priest ran out of mana, or the tanking warrior lost all his health—leveling here was extremely grueling.

Su Yu avoided these people, found a spot where no one else could see him, and began his own leveling endeavor.

He waved his magic staff and cast his spell with practiced ease.

Half a second later, an apple-sized [Magic Missile] flew from the tip of the staff and slammed into the unsuspecting [Black Boar].

-60!

A massive number appeared.

The [Black Boar] fell to the ground instantly!

With just one strike, the level 3 boar had been one-shot by Su Yu!

He wondered what the five-man team grinding nearby would think if they saw that.

At the same time, the system log popped up:

"Ding! You have slain [Black Boar lv3], gaining 3 Experience Points."

Unfortunately, the [Black Boar] didn't drop any items.

"The Legendary Bloodline is really strong!" Su Yu marveled inwardly.

"If I hadn't drawn the [Star Bloodline], I'd probably still be miserably fighting over [Slimes] right now. Leveling is so many times faster now!"

Of course, besides the Legendary Bloodline, having money was also an essential factor.

After all, upgrading his [Magic Missile] had cost him 1100 Psionic Coins.

A level 1 newbie grinding all day could only produce 8 to 15 Psionic Coins at most.

Without money, even with a Legendary Bloodline, the early advantage wouldn't be very obvious.

"Leveling up like this, I'll probably hit level 2 in just a few minutes!"

Su Yu felt reinvigorated and threw himself into the business of attacking (slaughtering) wild boars.

His right hand waved the staff, unleashing [Magic Missile], while his left hand activated [Fireball] and [Ice Arrow] scrolls in quick succession.

One [Magic Missile] could kill a boar instantly, and a single magic scroll could also smash one to death.

Not a single [Black Boar] could withstand Su Yu's attacks, falling in droves to the ground.

Su Yu advanced steadily, gradually sweeping across nearly half the monster zone.

Ten minutes later, at the level 2 monster zone.

Snowflake and her father still hadn't found suitable teammates.

After rejecting a few lecherous male players' party invitations, she stood on tiptoe, looking toward the level 3 monster zone:

"Dad, why hasn't that guy called 'Kexing' come back yet? Could he have been killed by the boars?"

"You're asking me, but who do I ask?" Snowflake Cream hoisted his shield and suddenly said, "Luoluo, you're not falling for that young man, are you?"

"Of course not! How could that be?" Snowflake rolled her eyes. "Who falls in love at first sight? Do you think this is a TV drama?"

"Haha, you can't fool me. Your mother looked at me the same way the first time she saw me." Snowflake Cream laughed heartily.

Snowflake's face flushed red, and she stomped her foot, on the verge of exploding.

Snowflake Cream quickly changed the subject:

"Ahem, since we have time now, how about we go to the level 3 monster zone to look for that young man? Maybe he's on his way back."

"Mm... fine." Snowflake nodded inexplicably.

At the same time, after ten minutes of "boar-slaughtering business," Su Yu had accumulated 1,000 Experience Points and successfully leveled up to lv2.

Although he had entered the game half an hour later than other players, after ten minutes of grinding, he had caught up to the first echelon!

Unfortunately, the equipment drop rate for monsters in "Evolution" was extremely low.

In those ten minutes, Su Yu had slaughtered over 300 boars. Aside from collecting materials like [Wild Boar Meat], [Boar Hide], and [Boar Bone], he only got three pieces of equipment, two of which were for other classes.

The only piece suitable for Su Yu was a [Cloth Boots (Common)], which he enhanced to Rare quality.

[Cloth Boots (Rare)]

Defense +10

Movement Speed +0.4

Intelligence +3

"Movement Speed +0.4" meant he could walk an extra 0.4 meters per second.

Su Yu's initial Movement Speed was "1.2"—in other words, his initial walking speed was 1.2 meters per second, and his running speed was 6 meters per second.

After equipping the [Cloth Boots], his walking speed reached 1.6 meters per second, and his running speed reached 8 meters per second, much faster than others.
