Ling Yi wouldn't mind fighting these players.
Based on his attributes, he could completely crush these players.
But doing that would be pointless and counterproductive; he would likely still die in the end. His attributes are stronger than other players, but not to the point of being invincible.
Time is precious in the early stages of the game, and Ling Yi didn't want to waste time getting entangled with these players.
As the saying goes, "It's easier to cross the Yan Wang than to deal with his underlings," and that's the point.
Although teaming up would result in a significant loss of experience points, Ling Yi was no longer concerned about the amount of experience gained; instead, he was more interested in the level of the sword spirit on his equipment.
"Pull me into the crew!" Ling Yi said somewhat woodenly.
"Real?"
Don't waste time!
"Okay, okay!"
The people who were waiting for You're Not Worth a Cigarette Ling Yi actually agreed. The process of farming Rabbit was too painful for new players, and having an expert like Ling Yi to guide them would be an incredibly happy thing.
One Cigarette immediately drew Ling Yi into the team, and to show their sincerity, they even gave Ling Yi the position of Captain.
"I don't want to Captain!" Ling Yi returned the Captain to You're Not Worth a Cigarette."
"You're in charge of the team's personnel arrangements; I don't handle those things. My job is just to kill monsters."
After Ling Yi finished speaking, he walked directly in one direction, and the players who were blocking the way immediately made way.
Seeing Ling Yi swing his wooden sword at a Rabbit again, everyone formed a general impression of Ling Yi.
Cold, aloof, and not good with words—at least that's how it seems for now.
"Brother Yan, team up with me! Team up with me!"
"Quick, add me to the group! We finally have a pro to mentor us, it's been such a long time!"
"Shut up, all of you!" One Cigarette yelled.
The crowd fell silent immediately after One Cigarette shouted.
"Our levels are low right now, and the team limit is only 5 people, but we have 13 here. The Big Shot and I won't leave the team. I know some people are unhappy, but if you're unhappy, you can leave. Nobody's stopping you."
"The expert found it too troublesome and gave me the Captain. So, who joins the team and who doesn't is up to me. If you don't like it, get out."
Although everyone was unhappy, no one said anything; they weren't stupid.
Even if it's just taking turns joining a group, it's still much better than grinding monsters on your own.
"The game's anti-addiction time limit is 10 hours, and there are still more than 9 hours left. There are 12 of you, so divide into four groups, with each group rotating every two hours. Is that alright?"
"Brother Yan, how do we calculate the extra hour?" someone asked.
"Are you fucking brain-dead? Don't you eat? Even experts don't eat? Doesn't eating take time?"
The man gave an awkward smile and immediately fell silent.
He started speaking unilaterally with One Cigarette, and randomly selected three people to join the group.
Those who weren't chosen were very unhappy with One Cigarette, but no one dared to say anything. The decision rested entirely with One Cigarette One Cigarette; what if they angered him and were excluded from the group later?
Ling Yi, however, appreciated the way the One Cigarette was handled.
It may seem reckless, but it contains great Wisdom.
If it were someone else, they would probably drag it out for a long time, because no matter who you choose, there will always be someone who is not satisfied.
On the contrary, this domineering approach is the most appropriate at the moment.
Ling Yi ignored them and patiently continued grinding monsters.
Meanwhile, the four of them, One Cigarette, were not idle either. Although they were a little slow at killing monsters, it was still better than just being a complete slacker.
A Rabbit gives 5 experience points. When you team up with another Rabbit, the experience points become 3. To level up to level 2, you need to kill 33 Rabbit.
It takes Ling Yi about 5 seconds to kill one Rabbit, and 165 seconds to kill 33 Rabbit. Subtracting the time wasted searching for monsters and walking around, it takes about 3 to 5 minutes to level up.
About a minute later, Ling Yi killed the Rabbit in front of him.
The wooden sword in his hand suddenly trembled.
Ling Yi knew that the wooden sword's spirit had been upgraded.
Reincarnation lv0 (32/100)
Life: 60
Internal Energy: 0/0
Physical condition: 5+1
Attack: 6+20
Defense: 3+1
Agility: 3+1
Mindset: None
Skills: None
Talent: Spirit Infusion (SSS) (Description: A mutated talent that can Spirit Infusion all equipment with a 100% success rate. Can be used once per game day!)
equipment:
Wooden Sword (Right Hand) - Spirit lv1 (10/100): This is a wooden sword with its own soul. Attack +20, Agility +1, Constitution +30%! (Bound!)
Cloth Armor (Upper Body): Beginner Equipment, Defense +1!
Backpack:
Sure enough, the sword spirit of the wooden sword reached level 2, and the number of monsters required for the next upgrade increased tenfold.
Aside from Changes in attack power and agility, other basic attributes remain largely Changes due to the rounding algorithm.
However, the 26 points of supply and 4 points of agility brought about significant Changes for Ling Yi.
Previously, Ling Yi could strike once per second on average; now, Ling Yi can strike three times in two seconds, a significant increase in attack speed.
With 4 points in Agility, Ling Yi's movement speed surpasses that of the Rabbit, allowing him to easily defeat monsters without taking damage as long as he isn't surrounded by Rabbit.

Experience points +3
Two monsters every two seconds— Ling Yi realized for the first time that the monotonous and tedious task of killing monsters could actually be so enjoyable.
Ling Yi had never understood why so many people would become addicted to games, which were just a bunch of data.
Ling Yi finally understood the reason.
Having been observing Ling Yi You're Not Worth a Cigarette immediately noticed the Changes in Ling Yi.
"Damage increased by 10 points, and attack speed and movement speed also increased by 30%. It seems that this player named Reincarnation must have a high talent level."
"Brother Reincarnation, do you want us to help you lure the monsters?" One Cigarette thought for a moment and called out.
"Lure a few to test first, don't get close. You just need to pick up the Shitou on the ground and attack them from a distance."
Ling Yi reminded him.
Everyone, including One Cigarette, was stunned. "Holy crap, can they really do something like this?"
Especially with One Cigarette, he's a professional gamer who's played countless games, but precisely because of this, he hasn't broken free from the mindset of traditional gaming.
He picked up a Shitou from the ground and threw it at a Rabbit.
-miss
No harm was done, but it successfully drew the Rabbit's hatred.
The Rabbit ran straight towards the One Cigarette from more than ten meters away.
Knowing he was no match for the Rabbit alone, One Cigarette ran towards Ling Yi while shouting, "Master, come and greet our guest!"
Ling Yi ignored the guy's antics and went straight to the Rabbit. Just as the Rabbit charged at him, he struck the Rabbit's head twice with his sword.
-52 (Weakness Critical Hit )
-8
Experience points +3!
The damage value startled Ling Yi for a moment.
Ling Yi already knew that the Rabbit's head was a weak point and had tried to exploit it before, but had never triggered a critical Critical Hit. Therefore, there must be conditions for triggering a critical Critical Hit on the weak point.
For example, having higher agility than the enemy!
" Reincarnation, the damage you're doing is way too much!" One Cigarette was genuinely shocked.
"Lure the monsters, and maintain a good rhythm," Ling Yi said, glancing at him.
"I understand, just you wait and see!" As a veteran player, I am extremely sensitive to game data.
Based on the calculations of One Cigarette, given Ling Yi's current attack and agility, he could easily handle three to four Rabbit at the same time.
He didn't ask his three teammates to help lure the monsters, as they were all ordinary players, and he was worried that they would disrupt the monster-luring rhythm.
But they weren't left idle either.
"You three, help me collect these pebbles, the more the better, go go go!"
"Brother Yan, we can lure the monsters too!" said a player named Snail.
"Shut up, just do what you're told, stop talking nonsense."
The Snail grew increasingly annoyed by the One Cigarette; this guy was bossing them around and was really annoying.
For the rest of the time, Ling Yi enjoyed grinding monsters very much.
This person has excellent control over the rhythm while smoking.
After Ling Yi kills the previous Rabbit, the next Rabbit will appear right in front of Ling Yi. Ling Yi hardly needs to move; he only needs to keep swinging his sword.
This guy must be a gaming pro.
With such efficient monster-killing, the group's experience points increased rapidly, and in less than a minute, all four of them had reached level 2.
Reincarnation lv1 (1/1000)
Life: 130
Internal Energy: 0/0
Physical fitness: 10+3
Attack: 13+20
Defense: 6+1
Agility: 6+1
Mindset: None
Skills: None
Talent: Spirit Infusion (SSS) (Description: A mutated talent that can Spirit Infusion all equipment. Can be used once per game day with a 100% success rate.)
equipment:
Wooden Sword (Right Hand) - Spirit lv1 (33/100): This is a wooden sword with its own soul. Attack +20, Agility +1, Constitution +30%! (Bound!)
Cloth Armor (Upper Body): Beginner Equipment, Defense +1!
Backpack:
Each level up automatically adds 5 points to Constitution; there are currently no Free Attribute Points.
The experience points have indeed increased tenfold. According to this calculation, once you reach level 5, the experience points required to level up will be so high that you could practically ascend to heaven on the spot.
Is this to prevent players from leaving the starting area?
The game couldn't possibly be this bad.
Gaining 1000 experience points isn't too difficult; it's just 334 Rabbit.
Because of the increased attribute, four people can now solo the Rabbit with One Cigarette.
However, at One Cigarette's suggestion, the group continued to lure monsters at Ling Yi.
With 7 points in Agility, Ling Yi can already slash twice in one second, and the damage from those two slashes is enough to Instant Kill a Rabbit instantly.
One minute later, Ling Yi's wooden sword spirit reached level 2, and its attributes received a huge boost.
Wooden Sword (Right Hand) - Spirit lv2 (1/1000): This is a wooden sword with its own soul. Attack +30, Agility +2, Constitution +40% (Bound!)!
[Hint: If you want the wooden sword to kill monsters on its own, perhaps you can let it try!]
