Ling Yan pondered.
Although this was a world where games had descended, it wasn't a true game.
Wild monsters were generally stronger than players of the same level, and the higher the level, the more pronounced this strength became.
In fact, in the later stages, even ordinary level 100 small monsters might not be solo-able by a B-level professional of the same level.
Therefore, in the later stages, the speed of strength improvement would become slower and slower.
At the same time, if you died while grinding monsters, you were truly dead!
Almost everyone would choose targets they could easily kill, which meant they almost always had to rely on level suppression.
This was why the principal of Seventh High School, a Flame Mage who was a B-level professional in his sixties, had only reached level forty-something.
In this world, there was only one way to grow quickly: to kill enemies beyond your level.
Unfortunately, a slight misstep would lead to death.
Not to mention experience points, even star coins would decrease.
This was also why, even in this future gamified world, it was still very difficult for ordinary people to survive.
Thinking of this, Ling Yan didn't hesitate.
After swapping his Fire Rabbit Dagger for a Fire Rabbit Longsword, he continued deeper into the Fire Rabbit Forest.
After all, a longsword was still more useful than a dagger.
As he went deeper.
Level 1 Fire Rabbits became more and more dense.
At the same time, level 2 and even level 3 Fire Rabbits began to appear.
Ling Yan, with a full 50 points of Fire Damage Reduction, went directly to the middle of the Fire Rabbit Forest.
Here, large numbers of Fire Rabbits gathered in groups of seven, eight, or ten.
The lowest level was LV3! LV5 was everywhere too.
...
Wild Monster: Fire Rabbit
Level: LV5
Innate Passive: Fire Mastery LV1 (Fire spell power increased by 100%)
Health: 1000 / 1000
Mana: 500 / 500
Attack: 40
Defense: 40
Skill: Fireball (Deals fire damage! And 10% burn damage per second, lasting 10 seconds! Cost: 20)
...
Although the attack power of the LV5 Fire Rabbit seemed higher than that of the Elite Fire Rabbit, unfortunately, in a real fight, a LV1 Elite Fire Rabbit could kill a bunch of LV5 Fire Rabbits.
As for LV3, they were even weaker.
"Fireball!!"
Ling Yan found a group of LV3 Fire Rabbits and immediately cast a Fireball.
"Boom!!!"
Instantly, the Fireball exploded directly within the Fire Rabbit group.
Before they could react, a group of Fire Rabbits was ignited by the exploding Fireball.
"Squeak squeak squeak...!?
Angry and painful cries erupted from the mouths of this group of Fire Rabbits.
The next moment, all the Fire Rabbits furiously spat Fireballs at Ling Yan.
"Bang bang bang bang!!"
One Fireball after another exploded on Ling Yan's fire rabbit set.
Miss
Miss
Miss
...
Unfortunately, a series of 'no damage' prompts appeared.
Even LV5 and LV6 Fire Rabbits were the same.
This was the invincibility of gear suppression.
While Plunder was powerful, Ling Yan felt that the Child of Luck profession absolutely crushed Plunder by countless times!
With this, Ling Yan could ensure that his equipment was always the best among those of the same level.
Ling Yan smiled, gripped his longsword, and charged into the rabbit swarm.
"Puff puff puff puff!!!"
Next, with the blessing of the Wheel of Fortune, every sword strike was a critical hit.
At the same time, Ling Yan's left hand condensed huge Fireballs that he hurled at the surrounding Fire Rabbits.
"Boom!! Boom!! Boom!!"
Explosions echoed all around.
One Fire Rabbit after another was burned to death or directly cut down by Ling Yan.
Seeing this, the surrounding Fire Rabbits all rushed over in anger to join the fight.
Unfortunately, facing Ling Yan, who they couldn't damage, the attacks of these Fire Rabbits were almost futile.
[You killed a LV3 Fire Rabbit! Gained Experience: 30, star coins +3!]
[You killed a LV5 Fire Rabbit! Gained Amplified Experience: 100, star coins +5!]
[You killed a LV4 Fire Rabbit! Gained Amplified Experience: 60, star coins +4!]
[Ding... Congratulations, you successfully copied the talent: Fire Mastery LV1!]
...
A series of notifications came through.
Soon, Ling Yan's level rose to LV4!
[Ding... Congratulations, your level has increased to LV4! All attributes +3, gained Free Attribute Points: 20]
Ling Yan didn't waste words and directly put all the attribute points into his Soul!
Instantly, his Soul value reached 84! A Fireball could deal a full 168 damage to the target.
The sustained damage reached 33 per second! Even a LV3 Fire Rabbit, once ignited, would only have half its life left!
As long as Ling Yan followed up with a critical hit, he could instantly kill it!
It was a pity that after leveling up, a LV3 Fire Rabbit only gave 15 experience points, and a LV4 Fire Rabbit only gave 40!
However, Ling Yan didn't care; his only goal now was to stack passive levels!
Everything else was secondary.
And with his frenzied slaughter!
The number of Fire Rabbits rapidly decreased.
When he ran out of mana, he just chopped; when his mana recovered to 50, he directly cast a Fireball at the densest group of rabbits.
[Ding... Congratulations, your level has increased to LV5! All attributes +3, gained Free Attribute Points: 25]
Soon, his level rose to LV5!
The number of rabbits killed had already reached several hundred.
Ling Yan also copied another Fire Mastery LV1!
However, at this level, a single LV3 Fire Rabbit only contributed 7 experience points!
But the good news was that Ling Yan had already dropped a complete set of LV5 fire rabbit set.
And now he could wear it.
[fire rabbit set LV5: All attributes +50, Fire Damage Reduction, Damage +80! Mana and Health Recovery Speed +5/s]
The all-attribute bonus was a full 20 points more than the previous 30! Ling Yan immediately equipped it, and all his attributes instantly increased by 20!
This time, Ling Yan again put the free attribute points into his Soul, directly boosting Ling Yan's Soul to a terrifying value of 129.
The power of Fireball increased again. With one move, even a LV3 Fire Rabbit that was just splashed by it would surely die!
Most importantly, the LV5 fire rabbit set also had mana and health recovery effects!
This directly and greatly increased Ling Yan's mana recovery speed.
And what followed, naturally, was Ling Yan's insane slaughter.
...
...
Edge of the Fire Rabbit Forest.
Because the LV1 monsters in other common monster zones had been taken by others.
Some ordinary students could only team up and come here.
However, they soon saw Zhou Tong, radiating white light, killing Fire Rabbits.
"Look, that's Zhou Tong!!"
