Farming rabbits, leveling the sword spirit, players fall apart: are we playing the same game?
As it turns out, Ling Yi was overthinking things.
A level 2 sword spirit can only carry 5 kilograms of weight, which is still quite far from its goal of flying on Sword Control.
But at least there's something to look forward to.
Ling Yi spent a full four hours hunting Jungle Wolf in the Lin Zhong.
The experience points were very generous, and Ling Yi's level soared to 4.

Cloth Armor (Upper Body): Beginner Equipment, Defense +1!
Backpack: Wooden Sword x3, Rabbit Corpse x1!
The Jungle Wolf's experience points have dropped from 9 to 7.
Moreover, the Jungle Wolf spawn very infrequently. Fortunately, Ling Yi alone, and the wooden sword's range was already 40 meters, so he didn't need to waste too much time searching for monsters; otherwise, the efficiency would be even lower.
In Blade & Soul, movement range increases by approximately 10 meters per level.
A level 4 sword spirit can only bear about 20 kilograms of weight, and it increases by about 5 kilograms for each level up.
In addition, Ling Yi discovered that with each level increase, the wooden sword's flight speed would increase by 1 meter per second, currently reaching approximately 5 meters per second.
In other words, based on the current leveling "experience points," a Blade Spirit would need to reach at least level 30 before being able to fly on Sword Control?
Level 30? How many monsters would that require? Leveling from 4 to 5 requires 100,000 monsters, and the "experience points" needed for each level up are ten times the previous amount. Level 30 in Blade & Soul... Ling Yi gasped. This is simply outrageous!
Ling Yi did not delve any further.
The monsters inside were getting stronger and stronger. Although the experience points were considerable and not difficult for Ling Yi, since the wooden sword was fighting the monsters on its own and Ling Yi didn't lose anything, the number of monsters was decreasing.
If you include the time spent searching for monsters, it's actually not as fast as farming Rabbit.
Ling Yi decided to retreat to the Rabbit area and prepare to farm Rabbit to raise the level of the wooden sword's spirit.
A level 4 sword spirit can already communicate with Ling Yi in a simple way.
Ling Yi gradually adapted to communicating with the sword spirit through telepathy.
Although four hours have passed, most players are still farming Rabbit.
Most players have reached level 1, and a few exceptionally talented players have even reached level 2.
Each player has random talents, and most players' talents tend to favor skills, cultivation speed, or comprehension.
However, players in the beginner village neither have any cultivation techniques nor need to cultivate, so these talents are basically useless.
Only a very small number of players receive attribute bonuses, such as increased attack, increased defense, increased health, or even a direct increase in constitution.
Only this group of players will find monster hunting easier.
Even so, after a few attempts, these players returned to the Rabbit area.
Compared to farming Rabbit, farming Jungle Wolf is really not cost-effective.
There aren't many quests in the starting village, except for an initial Rabbit -hunting quest from the village chief, and that's it.
This is completely different from other online games.
Without quests, the only way to level up is by grinding monsters.
Another particularly disgusting thing I need to emphasize is the drop rate in this game.
Ling Yi has killed so many monsters, but he hasn't gotten any equipment, not even a single copper coin.
Do you have to defeat special monsters to get equipment?
Ling Yi remembered that even the cheapest small bottle of wound medicine in the shops in the beginner village cost 15 copper coins.
In other words, new players may have to rely on passively gaining health for a long time.
I can't afford health potions, so I can only rely on automatic Health Regeneration when I lie down.
There was another reason why Ling Yi wanted to level up the Rabbit's sword spirit.
The sword spirit told him that once it reached level 10, its attributes would experience a huge breakthrough.
At that time, he will advance from Spirit Sword to a magic weapon.
Furthermore, the sword spirit explicitly told Ling Yi that as long as it reached level 10, it would be able to carry Ling Yi Ling Yi Sword Control away from the beginner village.
The real Jianghu lies outside the starting village.
Ling Yi found an area where Rabbit respawned relatively quickly. Just as he was about to release his wooden sword, a player shouted at Ling Yi, "Kid, this is our King's Guild territory, get out of here!"
This player is just talking nonsense.
Players can only create guilds after reaching level 10, so where are the guilds now?
Of course, they could also be someone from a game studio, and after reaching level 10, they might actually create some kind of the King's Guild.
None of that matters. The reason this player is accused of trash-talking is because there are simply too many Rabbit to kill in this area. You can't even farm them all, so what's the point of having a Map to occupy?
What is this if not just empty talk?
Ling Yi didn't even look at him, and threw the wooden sword into the air.
The wooden sword darted joyfully towards a Rabbit.
-60
Experience points +1
The player who made the boastful remark was immediately dumbfounded.
"Holy crap, Flying Sword? Isn't this game called Jianghu? Where did these Flying Sword come from? And this damage is just ridiculously high!"
The wooden swords darted across the ground, and damage Daodao of -60 rose from the heads of a dozen Rabbit.
Isn't this just a bunch of monsters?
"Is this a game?"
Many players felt this in their hearts.
Gradually, the players around him who were grinding monsters stopped and just watched Ling Yi's performance.
Some observant people have already memorized Ling Yi's ID.
The wooden sword currently has a maximum radius of forty meters and a diameter of eighty meters. Within this range, there are approximately thirty to fifty Rabbit.
This shows just how densely packed the Rabbit were.
The wooden sword takes about three seconds to clear out Rabbit in this area.
You need to wait about a minute for the Rabbit to respawn.
Ling Yi wasn't going to be stupid enough to wait a minute, so he kept circling around and refreshing the page.
In that minute, Ling Yi had covered almost 30% of the spawn area in the Northern District of the village.
Players who were originally farming Rabbit in this area were forced to leave.
Only a fool would try to steal monsters from a player who's cheating, and no idiot would come over and say that Ling Yi is being too domineering.
That sword strike could truly kill. Those people are so adept at farming Rabbit, and they're doing it in groups. They're probably farming these players in groups too.
Two hours later, Blade & Soul finally reached level 5.
Wooden Sword (Right Hand) - Spirit lv5 (31/200000): This is a wooden sword with its own soul. Attack +60, Agility +5, Constitution +70% (Bound!)!
Seeing that the "experience points" required to level up from level 5 to 6 in Blade & Soul were no longer ten times higher, but only doubled, Ling Yi finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Thankfully, it wasn't a tenfold increase; otherwise, probably no one could withstand it.
At level 5, the wooden sword became more agile, and its speed increased slightly.
Similarly, with the blessing of the sword spirit, Ling Yi's attributes also received a significant boost.
Ling Yi 'Ling Yi monster-hunting range gradually increased, and now he had almost taken over half of the Rabbit at the north entrance of the village.
At this point, the game had been running for nearly seven hours.
Most players have already reached level 2, but the experience required to reach level 2 and 3 is a huge challenge for all players.
10,000 experience points!
If you're not in a team, you get 4 experience points for killing a Rabbit. No, it's 5. As your level increases, the experience points you get from killing lower-level monsters will decrease.
To reach level 3, you need to kill 2500 Rabbit. A level 2 player only has 15 attack power, and it takes about 5 seconds to kill one Rabbit.
It takes an average player at least 4 hours of continuous play to reach level 3.
Going from level 3 to level 4? Probably just a day or two.
By the time the game's anti-addiction measures were implemented, Ling Yi had barely managed to level up his wooden sword spirit to level 6.

[Dear player, for your health, please log off within ten seconds, otherwise the system will force you offline.]
Ling Yi recalled the wooden sword and decisively chose to log off on the spot.
In the real world, Ling Yi slowly took off his game helmet and sat up from the bed.
Just then, a ball of light appeared before Ling Yi's eyes, and the next moment, a Rabbit fell out of the ball of light.
Ling Yi's pupils contracted.
"Could this Rabbit be the Rabbit from my game inventory?"
As the ball of light slowly disappeared, this eerie scene made Ling Yi even more convinced that the Rabbit was the same Rabbit in the horn-shaped backpack.
"Things from games can actually Manifestation in the real world?"
Ling Yi was unaware that this was the effect of the "Infinite Passive Reality Manifestation Reputation Aura," since his memories were currently sealed.
The halo effect only works passively and does not generate a system interface.
Therefore, Ling Yi mistakenly believed that the mystery lay solely in the game " Jianghu ".
Ling Yi went to the Computer, typed in a set of commands, and a complex code interface appeared before his eyes.
"As expected, it's impossible to track the game's server address; this is beyond the realm of science."
Ling Yi opened a dialog box and typed. "Xue, abandon the operation. All the secrets are in the game!"
Ling Yi then typed "End" in the code interface...
