Zhang Yang jogged all the way back to the Beginner's Village. Panting, he found the Warrior Profession Trainer Ferrian. He could not help but miss the Teleportation Talisman that could only be bought in the main city after Level 10.
"Rookie, I have to admit, you've made me look at you in a different light!" Ferrian took the iron ore from Zhang Yang, his face still full of arrogance. "But you're still a rookie! Here, take your shield and get out of my sight! "
Farian tossed over a shield that was shining with a black luster.
"Ding! You have completed the Profession Quest: Warrior's Test, obtained 5000 Experience Points! "
[Thick Iron Shield] (Black Iron Equipment, Shield)
Armor: + 10
Stamina: + 5
Level Requirement: 5
"Wait!" Suddenly, Ferrian's expression changed into one of astonishment. "You actually have fine iron?"
"Yes, esteemed Master!" Zhang Yang took out 10 pieces of Fine Iron from his backpack and passed them to Ferrian, knowing that the hidden quest had been successfully triggered.
"What a beautiful luster. It reminds me of the diamonds from Mount Dover!" Ferrian looked intoxicated, looking at the Fine Iron in his hands like a lover.
After a while, Ferrian said, "Before I became a great Warrior, I was once a blacksmith! Rookie, these Fine Iron are making my hands itch. If you agree, I want to use these Fine Iron to forge an invincible blade! "
"As you wish, esteemed Master!" Zhang Yang immediately nodded in agreement.
"Very good!" Ferrian looked happy, but he continued, "However, Fine Iron alone is not enough. You need to collect three more materials!"
"Ding! Ferrian has issued a quest to you: Forging Blade Materials (1). Do you accept? "
"Accept!" After Zhang Yang accepted the quest, he immediately checked the quest log.
[Forging Blade Materials (1)] (Quest Difficulty: Level C)
Quest Description: Ferrian needs the teeth of a Stonefang Wild Boar as a material to forge a blade. It was said that there were such monsters in the watermelon fields south of the village.
Completion: Collect the teeth of a Stonefang Wild Boar.
A Stonefang Wild Boar should be a Level 10 monster, right? Zhang Yang didn't leave immediately. Instead, he talked to Farian again and learned the Level 5 Warrior skills: Block and Shield Bash.
[Block] (Level 1): Raise your shield and block an enemy's frontal attack for 1 second. After successfully blocking the damage, 100% Strength damage will be dealt to the target and a large amount of Aggro will be generated. You will receive 1 Rage point. Cooldown: 10 seconds. Required: Shield.
[Shield Bash]: Smashes the target with the shield, dealing 200% Strength damage and generating a large amount of aggro. Can only be used after successfully blocking. Consumption: 10 Rage Required: Shield.
Parry was a godly skill for Fighters! After reaching Level 10, the cooldown time was reduced to 1 second. Whether it was damage immunity or the high explosive power of Shield Bash after blocking, it was extremely terrifying!
Zhang Yang immediately equipped the thick shield and went to find Village Elder Juan to hand over the Black Panther King's head.
"Ah! This, this is the head of the Black Panther King? This beast should have gone to hell long ago! How many of our villagers died because of it?! " Old Juan looked at Zhang Yang with surprise and joy. His face was full of emotion. "God above, you really are a brave and benevolent young man. All of the villagers will be grateful to you!"
"Ding! You have completed the mission: Eliminate Evil for the People. You have received 10,000 experience points! "
"Ding! Your reputation among the humans has increased by 200 points! "
200 points of reputation! Zhang Yang curled his lips. Reputation was a trap in the game. Every race had a corresponding reputation. From low to high, they were: Hostile, Indifferent, Neutral, Friendly, Respected, Revered, and Worshipped. If a player's reputation was below Neutral, then they would be attacked when they entered that race's territory. If a player's reputation was above Friendly, then they would be able to purchase items from that race. The higher the reputation, the better the items they could purchase!
Zhang Yang arrived at the south side of the village and saw that there were three watermelon fields. Wild boars were eating the watermelons in the fields. There was a farmhouse on the side, and an old man with a white beard was anxiously pacing around.
"Old mister, what can I do for you?" Seeing the yellow exclamation mark on the NPC's head, Zhang Yang immediately ran over to talk to him.
"Look, those d * mn wild boars! They destroyed my watermelon fields! Kill them all! I will pay you! "The old man roared angrily.
[Kill them] (Mission Difficulty: Level C)
Mission Description: Kill those d * mn Rock-Skinned Wild Boars!
Completion: Killed Rock-Skinned Wild Boar
[Rock-Toothed Wild Boar] (Normal)
Level: 10
Health Points: 500
In the watermelon fields, there were four to five other teams of players. As the Rock-Toothed Wild Boars' levels were relatively high, most of the players who were only around Level 5 could not kill them alone. Therefore, they could only form teams to kill them. Even so, due to the huge difference in levels, it was difficult for a team of five to kill a wild boar!
Although killing them was very slow, these people had no intention of leaving. At least there were monsters to kill. It was much better than those places where a monster spawned and a dozen weapons attacked at the same time!
Seeing that Zhang Yang was alone, many people suddenly laughed.
"Little White, you want to come here alone? Did you get kicked in the head by a donkey?"
"Haha, how many times did he get kicked by a donkey to become so stupid?"
"Just wait and see him get kicked in the ass by a wild boar!"
Of course, there were also players with good intentions.
"Friend, these are all Level 10 monsters. You can't kill them alone!"
"Our Magician has something to do and has to leave. There's an extra spot. Do you want to join us?"
These people ignored the shield that Zhang Yang was carrying. That was a reward that could only be obtained by completing a Level 5 Class Mission! At the current stage, the number of players who had reached Level 5 was already very high. However, the number of people who had completed the Class Mission could be counted on one hand!
Zhang Yang smiled slightly and rejected the party invitation sent to him. He raised his Novice Sword and walked towards the nearest wild boar. When he reached a distance where he could use Charge, he immediately activated the skill.
Charge Stun!
− 30!
Zhang Yang swung his weapon and slashed the wild boar's body. Immediately, there was a spray of blood.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! After the Rock-Toothed Wild Boar woke up, it immediately let out an angry roar and used its two sharp tusks to stab at Zhang Yang.
Zhang Yang activated the "Block" skill.
− 27! After blocking, there was a backlash!
− 64! Shield Bash!
− 31! Another normal attack!
− 29! Rage rose to 30 points. Powerful Strike!
Dodge!
The "Block" skill entered cooldown. Zhang Yang deftly shifted his position and easily dodged the wild boar's attack. Even the Level 15 Black Panther King could not touch a hair on Zhang Yang's body, let alone a Level 10 normal monster!
In a mere four or five seconds, Zhang Yang had poured out 181 points of damage, reducing more than a third of the wild boar's HP. The surrounding players were so shocked that their eyes widened, as if they had seen a ghost! This damage was way too terrifying! Was this guy really a Fighter?
Fighters actually had decent explosive power. The key was in the "Block" skill! And the timing of using "Block" was the best way to distinguish an outstanding Fighter from a normal Fighter in the early stages of the game!
After the "Block" skill was used, the character would have an additional buff. In the next second, the player could block an attack! However, because the buff only lasted for a mere second, if it was used too early, the buff would disappear before the attack arrived! And if it was used too late …
If Block was ineffective, then the follow-up explosive "Shield Bash" skill would not be able to be used!
Of course, with "Block" at Level 10, there was no need to worry about this. He just had to keep pressing.
Zhang Yang moved easily. When the cooldown of "Block" was over, he followed up with another combo. The Rock-Fang Wild Boar suddenly let out a mournful wail, and with a flash of white light, it fell to the ground, giving Zhang Yang 500 experience points. He reached out his hand to loot. His luck was pretty good. A Rock-Fang Wild Boar's tooth was in his hand!
"Damn, this guy is amazing!"
"Yeah, he killed it so quickly. Moreover, he didn't even lose any HP!"
"I just found out that you can actually use positioning to dodge monster attacks!"
"Eh, don't characters rely on dodging, parrying, and blocking attributes to avoid damage?"
"Brother, this is a simulation game, not a traditional online game. Learn more!"
"…"
The surrounding players all chimed in. Fortunately, Zhang Yang had chosen to hide his name. Otherwise, he would have already become famous! Even so, some nosy players still turned on the game's camera function and recorded the scene of Zhang Yang killing the wild boar. They ran to the forums and posted a thread titled "A God Appears, Killing a Monster without Taking Damage". It immediately caused quite a stir.
At this stage of the game, everyone was a newbie. When they saw Zhang Yang's skills that surpassed the current standards of the game by five years, how could they not be shocked? In an instant, many players became Zhang Yang's idol!
Zhang Yang killed the Wild Boars one after another. Although his killing speed was about the same as a five-man team, he was killing the monsters without taking any damage. He did not need to rest at all, so his efficiency was higher! Within seven or eight minutes, he had already killed ten Wild Boars. However, as he had only collected seven Wild Boar Teeth, he could only continue killing.
Another five minutes later, Zhang Yang finally collected all ten Wild Boar Teeth. He first handed in the "Kill Them" mission before hurrying back to find Farian. Behind him, the other players were so shocked that their eyeballs almost popped out of their sockets. They did not fight the monsters and only watched Zhang Yang kill the monsters.
"Very good, you can now look for the second material!" After Farian gave Zhang Yang 5,000 Experience points, he continued to give instructions.
"Ding! Farian has issued a mission to you: Material for Forging Blades (2). Do you accept? "
After Zhang Yang chose to accept, there was another entry in the Mission Log.
[Material for Forging Blades (2)] (Mission Difficulty: Level C)
Mission Description: There is a group of Flame Elementals wandering in the Charcoal Valley. After their deaths, they condense into Flame Essence, which is very powerful! It is said that after leaving the village and heading west, the Charcoal Valley is at the end of the road!
Completion: Collect Flame Essence 03%
Running all over the place!
Zhang Yang sighed. He followed the instructions of the Mission and headed west out of the Novice Village. After half an hour, he arrived at a valley where thick smoke billowed. The ground was charred black, and a fiery red elemental-type monster was wandering around.
[Flame Elementals] (Normal)
Level: 10
Health Points: 500
As this place was too far away from the Novice Village and there was no Mission that pointed to this place, there were no other players here except for Zhang Yang.
Attack!
