"Evolution" had no free attribute points after leveling up.
During the leveling process, each time a Mage leveled up, their attributes automatically increased (Strength, Agility, and Constitution +1; Intelligence +2; Health +10; Mana +20).
Su Yu did not need to worry about that.
Looking at his attribute panel, Su Yu nodded to himself.
"My Spell Power has reached 26. I should be able to one-shot level 4 monsters. I'd better head to the higher-level monster area to grind!"
Su Yu casually tossed out a Magic Missile, intending to finish off the boar in front of him before heading to the higher-level monster area.
But something unexpected happened.
After taking a Magic Missile, the boar before him did not collapse like its companions. Instead, it roared and charged at Su Yu.
Su Yu froze for a moment and looked at the boar.
This boar was a full size larger than its companions, with several tufts of golden fur on its head. It even looked somewhat imposing.
Black Boar Leader (Normal) Health: 500
"So a boar boss spawned. No wonder I didn't one-shot it."
"But since it's a boss, it should drop something good, right?"
As Su Yu thought this, his reaction was no slower.
He calmly took two steps to the side, evading the Wild Boar Leader's Charge.
Then, Su Yu slammed a Magic Missile and the Ice Arrow activated by the scroll into the Wild Boar Leader.
-54 -48
Two large numbers popped up, and the Wild Boar Leader's health immediately fell below 70%.
The Wild Boar Leader howled in pain, its eyes turning bloodshot. It let out a snorting roar and charged at Su Yu once more.
But Su Yu had been a level 64 expert in his previous life. It was simply too difficult for these low-level monsters' AI to harm him.
He casually sidestepped the charge again, while the spells in his hands did not slow in the slightest.
-55 -49
Another two spells.
The boar boss's health dropped below half.
The Black Boar Leader's prized Charge skill could not hit the human before it at all, constantly being evaded by Su Yu's practiced footwork.
It gave everything it had and used every trick at its disposal, yet it still could not touch the hateful human in front of it.
Not even once.
In the end, under the relentless bombardment of spells and magic scrolls, the Wild Boar Leader wailed and collapsed to the ground.
"Ding! You killed Black Boar Leader Lv3 and gained 30 Experience Points."
"The monsters in Novice Village are still too weak. There wasn't any challenge at all."
Su Yu stepped forward, searched through the boar boss's corpse, and picked up the dropped bag.
The boar boss was quite generous, dropping several items.
Crescent Wand (Excellent) Lv3, Black Iron Boots (Excellent) Lv3, Lightning Arrow Skill Scroll (Normal), Wild Boar Leader's Tusk (Excellent) x2.
"Oh? A Skill Scroll dropped?" Su Yu's eyes lit up.
In "Evolution," a small number of basic skills could be learned from class instructors, while the others—especially high-quality spells—were learned through Skill Scrolls.
Skill Scrolls were much more valuable than equipment. He had not expected a boar boss to drop one!
It might also have had something to do with this being Nolan Village's first kill of a level 3 boss.
"Lightning Arrow? Together with the Chain Lightning rewarded by the old mage's quest, it looks like I'll be taking the Lightning Mage path in the early stages of the game!"
Su Yu smiled and directly chose to learn the spell.
Lightning Arrow (Normal): Releases lightning to attack an enemy, dealing magic damage equal to 130% Spell Power to the target, with a 20% chance of inflicting Paralysis. Cast time: 1.5 seconds. Mana cost: 5. Paralysis: The target cannot attack or move. Duration: 0.5 seconds.
Without even thinking about it, Su Yu spent 1,100 Psionic Coins to upgrade the skill to Blue Rare Quality.
After the upgrade, Lightning Arrow's attributes underwent earth-shaking changes.
Lightning Arrow (Rare): Releases lightning to attack an enemy, dealing magic damage equal to 390% Spell Power to the target, with a 40% chance of inflicting Paralysis. Cast time: 0.5 seconds. Mana cost: 15.
Looking at Lightning Arrow's upgraded attributes, Su Yu nodded in satisfaction.
In "Evolution," Lightning Spells were characterized by high single-target damage, fast speed, and an added Paralysis effect.
However, compared to spells of other elements, they had a smaller damage range than Fire Spells, weaker control than Ice Spells, and inferior defense to Earth Spells.
Each type of spell had its own strengths.
Mage players in his previous life generally specialized in only one type of spell.
But Su Yu was different. He had 7 billion Psionic Coins, so he could cultivate multiple elements at once!
His level was not high enough to use the Crescent Wand yet.
Su Yu casually tossed the boar boss's drops into his backpack, humming a tune as he headed toward the higher-level monster area.
While Su Yu was battling the boar boss, Snowflake Cream brought her daughter to find the five-person party leveling on the other side of the boar area.
"Excuse me, have you seen a young man named Kexing?" Snowflake Cream asked politely.
"No."
"No."
"Me neither."
Four of them shook their heads.
The remaining kind-hearted Archer answered, "You can try looking in the monster area across the way. The monster zone is pretty big, after all. Maybe—"
The Archer stopped halfway through his sentence.
Archers had a wider field of view than other classes. Looking into the distance, he happened to see Su Yu fighting the boar boss, as well as the scattered boar corpses lying at his feet!
"Boss! Boss! Hurry and look over there! What's going on?!" The Archer could no longer be bothered with leveling and pointed into the distance as he shouted.
"What?"
The Warrior called "Boss" hacked down a boar, raised his head, and looked in the direction the Archer was pointing, but he saw nothing.
"There's nothing there!" The Warrior looked utterly baffled.
The other teammates also said they could not see anything.
"Your vision is too bad. Hurry and come with me. Let's take a closer look!"
The Archer was extremely excited as he ran around the monster area toward Su Yu.
At the same time, he said to Snowflake Cream and her daughter, "You two should come take a look too. There seems to be something incredible up ahead!"
Seeing the Archer's actions, his four teammates looked at each other.
However, they had already grown tired of farming boars for half an hour, so they said nothing and followed after the Archer.
Snowflake and her father exchanged a glance. Out of curiosity, they simply followed along as well.
Su Yu had only taken a few steps after dealing with the boar boss when he noticed seven players walking toward him. One of the father-daughter pair even looked somewhat familiar.
At this moment, the seven players stared at the boar corpses covering the ground in utter disbelief:
"My god! How can there be so many boar corpses? Could there be a bug?"
"The boars must have been killed quickly. Otherwise, how could so many corpses remain without refreshing?"
"Shocking! Dozens of boars found dead in the wilderness, and the reason is actually—"
The Archer among the seven had seen Su Yu fighting the boar boss earlier and knew Su Yu was responsible.
His eyes gleamed as he hurried over to Su Yu and lowered his voice.
"Friend, where did you get that cheat? Is it reliable? Sell it to us. We guarantee a high price!"
