This time, Yang Rui changed the direction of the Novice Village. Previously, there were only White Rabbits at the entrance of the Novice Village, so his experience was quite low. When he passed by the blacksmith, Yang Rui gave it a try and unexpectedly received a mine exploration quest.
Who knew that when he exited the North Gate of the Novice Village, he would discover that the entrance to the North Gate was also filled with White Rabbits. Yang Rui had no choice but to start torturing the small animals again. In his impression, the Novice Village seemed to have some docile large herbivores, such as sheep and sika deer.
After bullying the White Rabbits for three to four minutes, Yang Rui rose to Level 2. He added the 4 attribute points he gained from leveling up to Martial Strength, reaching 10 points in Martial Strength. At the same time, his HP also increased.
Thus, Yang Rui decisively left the area of the White Rabbits. With 10 points in Martial Strength, he could kill one White Rabbit at a time, but it did not affect the speed of his experience gain. The key point was that the number of players was slowly increasing, and the respawn rate of the White Rabbits was catching up to the speed of the players killing them. Almost every time a White Rabbit respawned, there would be a player taking care of it.
After entering a small forest, Yang Rui finally discovered cute Sika Deer wandering among the trees. Occasionally, one or two herbs that the Medical Hall needed would appear. This way, he could complete the Medical Hall's gathering quest at the same time!
The Level 5 Sika Deer were monsters that did not take the initiative to attack, and their counterattack power was not very high. Their only advantage was that their defense was much higher than the White Rabbit's. Yang Rui had to hit them five times before he could kill one, and at the very least, he would need four hits to finish them off.
Fortunately, the experience gained was about six to seven times more than the White Rabbits. In addition, there was no one stealing monsters for now, so Yang Rui's leveling efficiency increased by a lot. In less than 10 minutes, Yang Rui's level quickly rose to Level 3.
As usual, he added the 2 attribute points to Martial Strength. Yang Rui's Martial Strength had now reached 12 points. Killing a Sika Deer would not take more than four times. If there was a critical hit, three hits would be enough to finish it off!
There were plenty of monsters, powerful attacks, and low defense. What else was there to say? Yang Rui swung the wooden stick in his hand with all his might, knocking down batch after batch of sika deer. It was as if he was racing against time, and he never stopped!
If it wasn't for the Novice Wooden Stick and Cloth Clothes having unlimited durability, they would have been worn out long ago!
At the same time, Yang Rui's experience bar was also increasing rapidly. After a quarter of an hour, Yang Rui's level was nearing Level 4! Moreover, the medical center's collection mission was also completed!
However, the same problem soon appeared. The large group of players had already spread to the small forest where Yang Rui was. Moreover, this time, it was even more ferocious than the previous White Rabbit Region. The forest quickly became crowded, and the phenomenon of kill-stealing began to appear.
Obviously, most of the players had already familiarized themselves with the game's environment and recognized their own strength. Thus, they began to increase their efforts to level up! Some of the more daring players even ran deeper into the forest! What they didn't know was that if they continued to go deeper into the forest, they would most likely face monsters that took the initiative to attack!
After a moment of hesitation, Yang Rui still decided to return to the village and turn in the medical center's quest. This quest's difficulty was slightly higher, but the reward would probably be enough for him to reach Level 5.
Sure enough, after Yang Rui turned in the quest, the halo of leveling up once again enveloped him. He received two free attribute points. As usual, he added them to his Force attribute, causing his Force attribute to reach 16 points.
Without any hesitation, Yang Rui didn't even have time to sell the deer meat in his bag. He turned around and left the Novice Village's entrance. It was very important to seize the initiative in the early stages of the game! Yang Rui's goal was to reach Level 10 as soon as possible and strive to receive the chain quest related to the Village Creation Token!
This time, he didn't change his direction. Yang Rui still left the Novice Village's North Gate and arrived at the small forest where he had killed the sika deer. At this time, the small map was densely packed with small green dots. Each small green dot represented a player from the same faction. There were clearly too many players leveling in this area!
Yang Rui once again decisively left the small forest and continued to rush into the depths of the map. Although the area in front of him was the area of monsters that took the initiative to attack, it was very likely that his HP would be more serious. Resting and recovering HP would take some time, but it was still more efficient than staying in the same area as a large group of monsters!
After passing through the small forest, Yang Rui very cautiously hid behind a rock and observed for a while. If he accidentally died, he would lose experience, and most importantly, it would waste time!
In front of him was a continuous stretch of small hills. On the plains, valleys, and hillsides, there were many sika deer, sheep, and the like moving around everywhere. However, he could also occasionally find a few hunting wolves and the like. These were the monsters that took the initiative to attack!
After Yang Rui tried to kill a few Level 5 sheep, the experience he gained was actually higher than the sika deer in the forest. However, unfortunately, his actions immediately attracted the attention of three Level 8 Aardwolves, making Yang Rui very busy for a while. In the end, he almost died.
After dealing with the three Aardwolves, Yang Rui only had less than a quarter of his HP left. He could only hide under the rock and rest and recover his HP. The danger of farming monsters in this area was still quite high!
After using around two minutes to recover his HP, Yang Rui once again looked for a suitable monster to attack. He also constantly paid attention to the surrounding environment to avoid being approached by monsters that took the initiative to attack!
However, every short distance, there would always be two or three Aardwolves wandering around. Although Yang Rui tried his best to avoid them, the speed of Level 8 Aardwolves was not slow. Therefore, it was inevitable that he would encounter a few Aardwolves.
The most dangerous time, Yang Rui was almost surrounded by four Aardwolves. If Yang Rui's HP was not full, and if he did not try his best to kill a Aardwolf before, he was afraid that he would really be surrounded like a dumpling! Even so, in the end, Yang Rui only had a little bit of HP left. It was only a few drops of HP. As long as the Aardwolves attacked one or two more times, he would definitely die!
In this way, Yang Rui's level staggered to Level 6, and he still added 2 attribute points to his Attack. This way, he would be slightly safer if he encountered Aardwolves again.
Yang Rui calculated the time for some time. From Level 5 to Level 6, it actually took him more than 30 minutes. Although the experience required to level up had increased a lot compared to before, this leveling efficiency was not high!
Feeling a little helpless, Yang Rui was resting in the bushes behind a big rock to recover his HP. Suddenly, he heard a system notification:
"You have discovered an abandoned mine!"
Discovered an abandoned mine? Could it be that small cave that he had discovered when he was hiding in the bushes to recover his HP?
Hesitating for only a moment, Yang Rui did not hesitate to stick his body into the cave that was only a few feet in diameter. In "War of the Worlds", this kind of small map usually had some places that could be explored. Of course, he had to go in!
After entering the cave, Yang Rui could not help but sigh. It was really a village where there was light at the end of the tunnel! If he looked at the classic small map in front of him and thought of the quest he received from the Blacksmith, then he would have lived in vain if he still could not remember the relevant content of the game in his previous life!
Yang Rui could not help but sigh that his luck was not bad. He had encountered the only small dungeon-type map in the Beginner Village. Now, the cave that Yang Rui was in was a very good leveling spot in the Beginner Village. Of course, it would only be officially opened to players after someone had completed the quest from the Blacksmith Shop!
When Yang Rui first entered the game in his previous life, he was a little ignorant. He had killed a lot of White Rabbits to reach Level 10 before leaving the Beginner Village. That was why he did not have any impression of the mine. However, there was a detailed introduction on the forum. Later on, Yang Rui also knew about it!
The monsters in the mine were all humanoid NPCs — Controlled Miners! As for how they were controlled, the game background seemed to be a little complicated. Yang Rui also could not remember. However, he was very clear that the densely distributed Miners in front of him only knew how to mine with all their might. As long as they were not attacked, no matter what happened around them, they would not have any reaction! They were monsters that attacked passively!
According to the forum, the final boss on the second floor of the mine would drop some good items. However, Yang Rui was not prepared to spend the effort to fight the boss on the second floor. The densely packed humanoid monsters that attacked passively had already made him smile from ear to ear. This time, he could leave the Beginner Village very soon!
The controlled Miners were Level 9 monsters. Their Attack and Defense were higher than the Aardwolves. However, Yang Rui was not afraid at all when facing one of the Miners alone. With his 18 points of Attack, he could kill one in six or seven hits!
The most important thing was that the monsters were densely packed, the experience points were high, and no one would steal the kill. Moreover, the Miners were humanoid NPCs. Killing them would drop some valuable items such as clothes, mining hoes, and so on. From time to time, they would also drop one or two pieces of ore and a few copper coins! Although the amount was not much, Yang Rui was very satisfied!
After fighting non-stop for about two hours, Yang Rui had already climbed to Level 9. His Level 9 experience bar had risen more than half!
During this time, Yang Rui changed into a set of Miner clothes with 5 Defense. He replaced the wooden stick in his hand that would never wear out. Of course, he replaced it with a mining hoe with a higher Attack Power of 5 – 6! Yang Rui also added all the Free Attribute Points that he gained from leveling up to Attack Power, reaching a high of 24 points.
With this, the equipment change and the increase in Attack Power allowed Yang Rui to carry the Miners more easily. Although he was about to reach Level 10, Yang Rui was a little reluctant to leave this place!
Yang Rui also threw away the rabbit meat, deer meat, mutton, and other items that were in a mess in his backpack that he did not have time to deal with. This was because the 40-slot backpack was clearly not enough space! In comparison, the ores were relatively more valuable. Yang Rui had almost filled 26 slots. Each slot could store 10 items of the same type, which was close to 260 ores! All of them were Grade 9 Level 3 Iron Ores.
In addition, Yang Rui also kept 140 sets of Miner's clothes, which took up the remaining 14 slots, in case of an emergency. As for the mining hoe, besides the one in his hand, Yang Rui did not keep a single one. Although the hoe was useful at the moment, it was not a specialized weapon. Its Attack Power was limited, so there was not much value in keeping it.
In the end, when Yang Rui reached Level 10, he had only cleared half of the first floor's mine. As for the second floor's boss, Yang Rui did not even think about it and gave it a pass. Right now, time was precious, so he definitely could not lose the big picture for the small gains! Furthermore, the boss was not something that could be easily dealt with by one person!
Yang Rui quickly ran back to the Beginner's Village and hastily handed in the Blacksmith's Quest. Then, he reported to the Village Chief.
"Blazing Sun, I am very pleased that you were able to make such great progress in such a short period of time. I believe that you have a deeper understanding of this new world. I hope that you can work harder to improve yourself and achieve greater achievements … A new world awaits you …"
After the Village Chief saw that Yang Rui had already reached Level 10, he began to nag at him for a long time. Most of it was content to encourage the player and did not have any practical meaning. However, this process could not be skipped!
Yang Rui patiently listened to this long and tedious advice. Finally, his vision turned black again. The system prompt that followed made Yang Rui feel relieved!
