"And then?" Meng Yue asked Ling Yi, puzzled, after watching Ling Yi shoot an arrow and remain silent for a long time.
Ling Yi scratched his head. "Yeah, and then what?!"
Is my 205% splash damage and 205% splash radius just an illusion?
Splash Necklace (Epic) Lv1, Archer, Attack +1, generates a splash effect on attack, splash damage is 1% of attack, splash range is 1% of attack.
Other splash damage equipment has the same parameters.
The attack produces a splash effect; doesn't that count as an attack? The arrow has already been fired!
Hmm? Ling Yi looked at the sky, as if he had discovered the problem.
With a flick of the wrist, the novice's shortbow vanished.
After a moment of preparation, he bent down, ready to punch the ground, intending to trigger the splash effect.
But just as he was about to slam his fist into the ground, Ling Yi remembered another problem and turned his full-force punch into a light tap.
After delivering that punch, a sudden realization dawned on Ling Yi.
But Ling Yi's actions completely baffled Meng Yue, who was standing next to him.
What exactly are you doing?
"Just testing something, wait a moment." Ling Yi's eyes lit up at this moment.
He had been worried about one thing: with his attack power of over 600,000, plus various status effects, if he didn't control it properly, it could cause a big problem.
For example, in the duel arena ten days from now, those little karaomis from No. 1 Middle School, one punch from them would probably not only kill them, but also scatter their ashes.
In two words: controllable.
Just now, when Ling Yi threw a punch, he discovered that not only could he control the force of his attack, but he could also freely adjust and control the status of the attributes.
For example, the splash range and the splash percentage.
Aside from splash damage, reflect damage, and Critical Hit effects, Ling Yi can freely control all other effects.
The only thing missing now is attention to detail.
"Let's go find some monsters!" He clapped his hands and headed straight for the depths of the Nether Forest.
The Nether Forest is truly filled with forests and trees.
In some places they are sparse, in others dense, and all the trees appear to be of the same species.
The leaves are somewhat like those of a poplar, but the trunk and bark have the characteristics of a pine.
It's a bit better outside the woods, but once you enter the woods, it's easy to get lost.
"Were you testing your skills just now?" Meng Yue had somehow acquired a staff in her hand, and was now juggling it like a juggler.
"But where do Forging get their skills?"
"My attack power is too explosive; I'm trying to use Micro-control."
"You were able to think of that already? Impressive."
"That's impressive? No, what's so impressive about that?"
Meng Yue explained earnestly, "This is no simple matter. The vast majority of professionals rely on their professional data panels."
"In reality, the data panel is just a reference; it's a data template generated based on our physical condition. What's truly quantified is our body, not the professional panel."
Many people fail to see this point, believing that the data panel is the core element.
Ling Yi nodded, Yinyin grasping the key point.
"Take the skill Fireball. According to the skill description, Fireball Lv1 consumes 10 mana, deals 110% of the caster's attack, and has a cooldown of 0.5 seconds."
"When anyone casts Fireball, they attack according to a fixed skill template: 10 mana points, 1.1x attack. To increase the attack power of Fireball, the only way is to continuously improve proficiency."
"Upon reaching level 2, it consumes 20 mana points and grants 1.2x attack power, but in reality, that's not the case."
"20 mana points and 1.2x attack power are just the current maximum. What if I only consume 10 mana points, 5 mana points, or even 1 mana point when casting Fireball?"
Therefore, the power of the Fireball can be completely controlled.
Ling Yi frowned; this Taiyi he had imagined!
"Then why can't we use more mana to increase the power of Fireball when casting Fireball? Like charging it up!" Ling Yi asked.
"No, 20 mana points and 1.2x attack is the maximum."
Are you wondering what the use is of Fireball with only 1 point of mana?
Ling Yi nodded; that was indeed what he was thinking.
Just then, a huge black figure suddenly darted out from behind a tree and pounced straight at Meng Yue.
Ling Yi's Ying Yi, appearing directly in front of Meng Yue, and he threw a punch.
Ling Yi unleashed his full power in this punch, holding back almost no effort.
A massive damage indicator rose above the shadowy figure's head, and then the figure vanished instantly.
At the same time, a terrifying force field suddenly spread outwards from the spot where the black shadow disappeared.
[Slay a level 20 Nether Wolf and gain 10,000 experience points!]
[Your level has increased to lv2, and you have gained 5 Free Points!]
[Slay a level 20 Nether Wolf and gain 10,000 experience points!]
[Slay a level 20 Elite Nether Wolf and gain 50,000 experience points!]
[Your level has increased to lv3, and you have gained 5 Free Points!]
[Killed...]
[Your level has increased to lv5, and you have gained 5 Free Points!]
[Slay a level 20 Nether Wolf (Commander) and gain 150,000 experience points!]
[Your level has increased to lv7, and you have gained 5 Free Points!]
A row of data rapidly rose before their eyes, and their levels jumped directly from level 1 to level 7.
Meng Yue snapped out of her daze and looked at Ling Yi with utter astonishment, asking, "Is that a splash attack?"
Ling Yi nodded and murmured, "It seems we can't rely solely on grinding monsters yet."
"What's the difference between this and spamming monsters across the entire screen?" Meng Yue rolled her eyes.
"Leveling up is extremely difficult for professionals. Each level requires ten times the experience of the previous level. Even if you kill all the monsters in the Nightmare Dungeon of the Nether Forest at level 1, you can only reach level 8 at most."
"One hit grants level 7 experience; I estimate that you wiped out at least 60% to 70% of the monsters in this dungeon with that one strike."
"So, now there's a problem: what do we do with the items dropped by monsters?"
"You can just throw away what regular monsters drop, but what bosses drop is always good stuff."
"Then let's go find the BOSS first."
The Nether Forest is a level 1 dungeon, and it's also the dungeon most frequently run by professional players.
Therefore, there is a lot of information about copies online.
This includes Map, monster distribution, and more.
This is something that schools specifically teach.
The Nether Forest instance, despite its name, is actually a canyon.
The canyon is gourd-shaped. Ling Yi and his group are currently at the bottom of the gourd, while the BOSS is at the mouth of the gourd.
As the two walked forward, they would occasionally see Tuantuan of bursting Masai.
These were all Nether Wolf killed by the splash damage from Ling Yi's punch.
As for its rank and attribute, I have absolutely no idea.
He killed it with a single punch; Ling Yi didn't have time to check the Nether Wolf's attributes.
Amidst the Masai- Tuantuan images, one could occasionally spot a medicine bottle or a piece of equipment.
But most of them are basic equipment.
Meng Yue looked down on these items, but Ling Yi accepted them all.
No matter what kind of equipment it is, as long as it meets the level requirements, just put it in the equipment slot.
Every piece of equipment has attributes!
Anyway, his equipment slots can Infinite Stacking, so he can equip as much equipment as he wants.
By the time the two reached the mouth of the canyon, specifically the waist area, Ling Yi had already collected over a hundred pieces of equipment.
Attack increased by 1700, defense increased by 850, health increased by 3200, and two new status stats were also added.
Life Steal 15% of blood and has 10% resistance to toxins.
Ling Yi didn't care about attributes. A thousand or eight hundred attribute points would be a huge number for other professions, but for Ling Yi, the bonus was not significant.
The focus is on status terms.
At this moment, Ling Yi finally saw the appearance of the Nether Wolf Nether Wolf clearly and learned its attributes.
A level 20 Nether Wolf is nearly two meters tall and over four meters long.
Its entire body was black, except for a white stripe on its forehead, below its mouth, and on its neck.
For some reason, upon seeing the Nether Wolf, Ling Yi didn't feel that the thing was particularly ferocious; instead, he found it both cool and Haki.
[ Nether Wolf (Normal) lv20]
[Life: 2200]
[Attack: 450]
[Defense: 220]
[Speed: 30]
[Skills: Bite, Claw, Bloodthirst, Rush ]
"This zodiac sign is really lame!" Ling Yi, somewhat surprised.
Meng Yue her eyes at him. "That's for you. Most ordinary professionals, even with level 10 fully enhanced equipment, have less than 600 HP and barely over 100 attack power, and still can't break through this Nether Wolf's defense."
"With your attributes, only those professionals at Limit fifth level or above can barely compare."
" Limit Fifth Reincarnation?"
"Let's run the dungeon first, then we'll talk about it," Meng Yue said, shaking her head.
Ling Yi said "okay" and walked towards the direction of the Nether Wolf.
The Nether Wolf seemed to Perception the power of the human before it, taking a few steps back before crouching low, gathering its strength in its limbs, poised to attack at any moment.
The dark blue eyes stared fiercely at Ling Yi, and it let out a warning growl.
"You little brat, you're pretty fierce!"
Ling Yi's figure suddenly accelerated, appearing in front of the Nether Wolf as if by Teleportation. Before the Nether Wolf could react, a powerful blow was delivered.
A value of "-1" appeared above the Nether Wolf's head, indicating that the slap had clearly failed to break its defenses.
Despite not having broken through its defenses, the Nether Wolf was still knocked to the ground by Ling Yi's slap.
His head hit the ground hard.
To be precise, the Nether Wolf wasn't knocked down by Ling Yi's slap, but rather by Ling Yi's terrifying strength, which forcefully pinned it down.
The Nether Wolf let out a howl, thrashed its four legs to its feet again, and then, without even glancing at Ling Yi, turned and ran.
However, its speed of 30 points is simply no match for Ling Yi's speed of over 1,000 points.
The Nether Wolf had just turned its head when it saw that terrifying human reappear in front of it.
Before the Nether Wolf could react, it was slapped down again.
The Nether Wolf got up and ran again, and Ling Yi pressed down again, repeating this more than ten times.
The howling cries of the ghosts echoed throughout the Nether Forest.
Until the Nether Wolf completely gave up, after Ling Yi overturned it again, it simply lay on the ground and didn't move. The fierce look in its eyes when it looked at Ling Yi was gone, replaced by a hint of resentment.
