Chapter 7: Reward Calculation! Anti-armor With Sputter +50%! Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio It was actually an LV18 Elite Boss! Wu Yan was shocked. He had never thought he would encounter such a high-level Elite Boss in the Beginners’ Village. The guide posted on the forum before mentioned that the hardest Boss to defeat in the Beginners’ Village was a Werewolf-type Boss. It was an LV12 Elite Boss. If one wished to stay and level in the Beginners’ Village, the highest level one could reach was only LV10. So it wouldn’t work if one wanted to stay in the Beginners’ Village and grind levels all the time. After all, for the sake of the players’ experience, the monsters in the Beginners’ Village were set to be much easier. Other than the Elite monsters, there was no buff from critical health. However, it was different outside the Beginners’ Village. The monsters had special buffs in the Plain Dungeons outside the Main City. For example, they would suddenly increase their attack speed or have Fatal Blow just like players. However, the lower the level, the fewer the buffs. The higher the monster’s level, the more buffs it would have. Wu Yan put those distracting thoughts aside first. He began to check his harvest this time. From the system notification just now, the harvest this time should be pretty bountiful. ———————- [Congratulations to Player ‘Wandering’ for obtaining ‘Hedgehog Gauntlet’]! [Congratulations to Player ‘Wandering’ for obtaining ‘Hedgehog Armor’]!
[Congratulations to Player ‘Wandering’ for obtaining ‘Hedgehog Shoes’]! [Congratulations to Player ‘Wandering’ for obtaining ‘Hedgehog Pants’]! [Congratulations to Player ‘Wandering’ for obtaining ‘Hedgehog Hat’]! ———————- (The attribute bonuses of the Hedgehog Set are as follows: HP bonus +30%; MP bonus +30%; Physical Anti-armor Damage +30%). ———————- Wu Yan did not hesitate to change out of the Life Set that had accompanied him for the past few days. The Life Set had indeed helped him a lot in the early stage. The Hedgehog Set before him was actually Green equipment. The levels of normal equipment were: Bronze → Silver → Gold → Dark Gold → Purple Gold → Epic → Legendary → Mythical → Forbidden Relic → Underworld → Genesis. Those were the equipment settings that the official team gave at the very beginning. Most of the Beginners’ Zone equipment was still mostly Bronze equipment. Silver equipment was about one in a hundred. With the current game progress, a full set of Silver equipment would be considered Boss-level. However, Wu Yan’s Hedgehog Set was also a special set. According to how they referred to it in his previous life, it should be called Green equipment. After all, the description of that equipment was all in green text. The game was indeed very realistic. After changing into the Hedgehog Set, Wu Yan felt that his body had become a little stronger. His Physical Damage had already stacked to 130%!
With the addition of his current HP bonus, even if an ordinary Warrior were to attack him purely physically, the warrior would die first. Wu Yan discovered many notifications at the bottom of the interface. He pulled down. [Message Notification: Congratulations Player ‘Wandering’ on successfully reaching LV10!] He had only reached LV7 when he just entered the Dungeon. And he had actually increased three levels? Wu Yan was secretly amazed. No one had ever up one whole level by killing one monster thus far. Of course, that didn’t include those close to leveling up. It would be a big mistake to think that killing monsters above one’s level did not give bountiful EXP. In that game, killing monsters above one’s level gave a lot of EXP. However, the critical juncture wasn’t at every level. Instead, there was a critical juncture every five levels.
Wu Yan had reached the third set of the five levels, so his EXP received an explosive upgrade. For example, within the first five levels, EXP would be increased by 2 to the power of 1. LV5 to LV10, EXP would be increased by 2 to the power of 2. LV10 to LV15 would be increased by 2 to the power of 3. That was why Wu Yan could obtain such a terrifying amount of EXP. Moreover, looking at that terrifying amount of EXP, his level overflowed. Otherwise, he would have been able to reach LV11! He glanced at the Players-by-Batch Ranking List. He had already surpassed ‘Heaven Punisher Mars’ and ‘Hidden Killer’, successfully reaching first place. He did not notice if there were any rewards for being first on the ranking list. Heaven Punisher Mars also did not specifically tell him about that matter.
However, Heaven Punisher Mars was indeed quite enthusiastic toward him. That made Wu Yan a little at a loss. He originally wanted to check the reward for being first on the ranking list, and then he discovered that there was a new message in his Skills Bar. Could it be that his healing skill had leveled up? His Small Fireball was still a pitiful LV1 because he had really used it too infrequently. He had already thought about it. When the time came, he would see if he could earn more gold coins and directly buy Skill Books to learn skills. The Dungeon calculation just now had instantly given him 10,000 gold coins, which stunned him. After 10,000 gold coins, it would be converted into the count of one diamond. In the game, those who could have one diamond were considered tycoons and they were very rare. With the current diamond, if converted to reality, it would be enough to buy a toilet. However, in reality, the current housing prices were not expensive. The most expensive were the Nutrition Cabin and the most advanced Synchronization Cabin. And even the Ability Conversion Cabin, which had not been developed yet. It could bring out a tiny portion of the ability. That was also the part of the game that the people on Blue Star were most obsessed with. It was said that when they finally reached the Battlefield of God, that function would be activated. Finally, Wu Yan saw a small plus sign beside his Physical Anti-armor Damage, which stated a new function. [Physical Anti-armor Damage Sputter Enhancement LV1: When Physical Anti-armor Damage is triggered, it will generate 50% Sputter Damage within a one-meter radius.] Wu Yan jumped up excitedly and punched the air. His whole body was full of strength. Compared to those equipment levels previously, that skill was the King! Moreover, that skill should be the extension of his Grade SSS+ talent. His Grade SSS+ talent was the biggest cheat code.
It was just the extension of a normal skill, but it instantly made his Physical Anti-armor Damage even more powerful. He had just looked at his Talent interface. Wu Yan was unsure if his Talent interface was the same as the others. His Grade SSS+ Talent interface was independent of the game interface. It seemed that he could release other quests through the SSS+ Talent interface. Moreover, his SSS+ Talent interface had a ridiculous number of functions. He saw that his Plunder talent only took up a small portion of it. There were still many other functions that could be unlocked. He just didn’t know how to unlock it now. He carefully confirmed. The new Physical Anti-armor Damage Sputter didn’t take up the original three additional types of attribute plunder. Instead, it expanded from the original Physical Anti-armor Damage. And it seemed that that empty space could be further expanded more than once. Physical Anti-armor Damage +100% was equivalent to the main skill. And Physical Anti-armor Damage Sputter +50% was equivalent to an extended skill that could be upgraded. That completely separated them. The main skill was upgraded through plundering attributes, while the extended skill was the same as his Minor Healing. It had to be used continuously to level up. He looked at the Physical Anti-armor Damage Sputter that was only 50% now. If he found a place with many monsters, it would be 100% in a second! While Wu Yan was still thinking, he finally realized that Heaven Punisher Mars had used a loudspeaker to let him see the message. A loudspeaker cost 1,000 gold coins! It was equivalent to 0.1 diamond.
Wu Yan opened the Heaven Punisher Mars’ Message Bar and was stunned by the messages. They all wrote: “Brother Wandering, how did you reach level 10?” “Brother Wandering, how did you reach level 10?” “Brother Wandering, how did you reach level 10?”
