Li Yi was not concerned about the item drop rate, but his own HP. He immediately looked at the system notification.
[System Notification: You have killed a Level 1 Black Rat (normal). Obtained 2 experience points.]
[Talent Trigger: Obtained 1 HP, 0.01 HP Recovery/second]
“Hey! Not bad!” When Li Yi prepared his next attack towards the Black Rat, a few of them saw Li Yi’s smooth operation and wanted to form a party with him and he had to tactfully reject their request.
The game had just started and time was of the essence, so those people could only give up. However, the smart ones had silently observed from a distance.
They started to mimic his movements, but their movements looked extremely awkward. A few of them almost died under the Black Rats’ attacks.
The Black Rats’ attacks were only slightly slower than the players’. It was not easy for the current players to grasp this rhythm.
As time passed, fewer and fewer Black Rats died at Li Yi’s hands. This meant that the number of players who had entered the game had just started to increase.
There were even some Black Rats that had just respawned. Before they could see what the surrounding players looked like, they were immediately attacked by four or five attacks. It was simply too brutal!
This was when Li Yi decided to go deeper. That should be the territory of a level 3 Wild Wolf. As long as he was careful, he would not be surrounded by many Wild Wolves.
…
“Rustle...”
Li Yi stepped on the dry leaves on the floor, and it created a crackling sound. He immediately checked his system’s notification.
He understood that he had entered the Wild Wolf’s territory. He immediately put in 120% of his energy and carried his broken sword into the dense forest.
He did not walk far before he was alerted by a sound. Li Yi felt a trace of danger coming!
“Swoosh!”
A black shadow rushed out from behind a tree and attacked Li Yi!
Fortunately, Li Yi was already prepared. He immediately dodged and looked over his back. He saw a wild pale-gray wolf not far away. It had strong limbs and a lean body. At this moment, its green eyes stared at Li Yi. He took a look at the Wild Wolf’s stats.
[Level 3 Wild Wolf (normal)]
[HP: 250]
[Physical Attack: 20]
[Physical Defense: 10]
Its speed was much faster than the Black Rats, and its attack power was very high. Fortunately, it was still within Li Yi’s endurance range. It was no problem for him to take on this level 3 Wild Wolf alone.
Taking advantage of the gap between the Wild Wolf’s attack, Li Yi moved his feet and moved diagonally to the left side of the Wild Wolf. He quickly struck the throat of the Wild Wolf with his sword!
“-12!”
The defense of the Wild Wolf was indeed very tough. The attack of 12 points could not deal much damage.
However, Li Yi did not care about this. He just slashed a few more times. Unless he was surrounded by many wild wolves, they would not be able to touch him.
Li Yi continued to close and widen the distance at different times. He blocked the opportunity for the Wild Wolf to attack. Under the continuous attacks, even if the Wild Wolf was two levels higher than him, they would still be worn out to death.
“-24! Weak Point Damage!”
After he hit the weak point, Li Yi immediately withdrew from the attack range!
Li Yi perfectly carried out the strategy of fighting monsters at a higher level and it went past by a breeze.
“Puchi...”
The wolf’s blood splattered everywhere. After more than ten consecutive attacks, the level 3 wolf finally could not hold on anymore. It whimpered and dropped to the ground.
His experience bar immediately increased by a small portion. This amount of experience was not something the Black Rat could compare to. The Wild Wolf also dropped a few copper coins. Li Yi went forward to pick it up and put it into his bag.
Divine Revelation was just like that. The drop rate was pitifully low. The Wild Wolf was able to drop a few copper coins only because it was killed by a person of a lower level, this caused the drop rate to slightly increase. Otherwise, there would not be a single copper coin, just like the Black Rats.
Li Yi continued to go deeper into the forest as he looked for lone Wild Wolves to kill.
…
After spending nearly an hour killing a large number of Wild Wolves, his level finally rose to level 2.
At this moment, Li Yi had obtained 5 free attribute points, as well as a fixed increase of 1 point for each attribute. This did not take into account the special talent of the class.
1 Strength Point = 3 physical attack points.
1 Stamina Point = 10 HP, 1 physical defense point, and gain a small amount of HP recovery speed.
1 Agility Point = 1 attack point, 1% movement speed, 1% attack speed.
1 Spirit Point = 4 MP, 1 magic defense point, and a small amount of MP recovery speed.
1 Intelligence Point = 2 magic attack points
Without further calculations, Li Yi directly added all of his free attributes points to his Strength. Then, he looked at his interface. His physical attack had reached a level of 41.
However, the increase in his HP had become a little exaggerated.
Initially, it was 110 points. Currently, when he leveled up, all his attributes had increased by 1 point, which meant that he had gained 10 more HP. However, now, he directly relied on his talent to reach 470 points!
It could be said that in this short period of time, he had gained an additional 40 points of stamina compared to other players. This was as expected of an SSS-grade talent. It was indeed a terrifying bonus.
Li Yi continued to fight. There were still very few people here. At the very least, he could level up comfortably and increase to a large amount of HP.
When most of the players had leveled up, this place would likely be overcrowded. It would be extremely difficult to snatch a monster.
[System Notification: You have killed a level 3 Wild Wolf (normal). Obtained 10 experience points.]
[Talent Trigger: Obtained 2.5 HP, 0.025 HP Recovery/second.]
…
However, as Li Yi continued searching for wild wolves, he suddenly saw an even larger Wild Wolf who sat under a tree in the distance. At this moment, it seemed to be eating the corpse of a small animal.
“An elite Wild Wolf?”
[Level 3 Wild Wolf (elite)]
[HP: 500]
[Physical Attack: 43]
[Physical Defense: 20]
Li Yi was slightly stunned. Then, he walked towards the Wild Wolf. If he was at a Level 1, he would definitely not look for anything too hardcore. He reckoned that he would not be able to break through its defense.
When he walked towards the elite Wild Wolf, the elite Wild Wolf also sensed that danger had approached. It immediately turned around and let out a deep roar, as if it wanted to defend its sovereignty,
“Come! Let me see how powerful you are.” Li Yi directly rushed towards the Wild Wolf.
The elite Wild Wolf let out a growl and also directly rushed towards Li Yi.
Monsters at this level had no intelligence at all. They only knew how to attack with brute force. It was not like in the future, when the level was higher, they would encounter intelligent monsters. They could even predict your actions and attack.
Observing the elite Wild Wolf that charged at him, Li Yi slightly shifted his steps, and the wolf barely brushed past his body.
At this moment, Li Yi used a tricky angle to suddenly attack the soft flesh of the elite Wild Wolf’s jaw. He was fierce and decisive.
“Chi!”
“-40! Weak Point Damage!
Li Yi’s attack power was 41. The double damage that hit the weakness was only 40 points. This elite Wild Wolf’s defense was indeed very high and very challenging. Moreover, it still had 500 HP more to go. It would indeed take some time to defeat it.
After his attack succeeded, Li Yi was not greedy. He quickly retreated a few steps and flashed behind the trees.
Looking at the elite Wild Wolf that chased after him, the measly weapon in his hand was like a poisonous snake as it once again accurately stabbed towards the same spot.
“-38! Weak Point Damage!”
Li Yi immediately pushed and pulled this elite Wild Wolf back and forth in the forest. The elite Wild Wolf’s HP also began to slowly drain out. During this period of time, this Wild Wolf could not even touch Li Yi at all.
“Awooo...”
After the wolf let out a miserable howl, it finally collapsed to the ground.
[System Notification: You have killed a Level 3 Wild Wolf (elite). Obtained 150 experience points.]
[Talent Trigger: Obtained 5 HP, 0.05 HP Recovery/second.]
Li Yi’s experience bar had also increased by a large margin, as expected of an elite monster!
When he looked at the items dropped by the elite Wild Wolf on the ground, he saw a shiny greatsword and a large number of copper coins that was beside the elite Wild Wolf’s corpse.
This loot made Li Yi’s eyes light up, and he immediately went forward to pick it up.
As he held on to the greatsword in his hand, he found that the greatsword was at least two meters long. The body of the greatsword was snow-white, and there was a Wild Wolf totem engraved on the hilt. Looking at the attributes of the greatsword, it was indeed a piece of rare equipment in the early stages.
[Equipment: Blade-cutting Greatsword]
[Quality: Excellent]
[Attack: 30]
[Excellent Attribute: Strength +5]
[Equipment Requirements: Level 1]
…
When all the physical attacks were added together, this weapon would have an attack of 45. It was definitely greater as compared to his old weapon. This was as expected of an excellent-grade weapon.
[Divine Relevation’s Grade Classification: Inferior, ordinary, excellent, flawless, perfect, rare, and so on. As for higher-grade equipment, every single one of them would be a well sought after object!]
The weapon in his hand was of the lowest quality. This time, the greatsword that dropped directly surpassed the ordinary grade and went to the excellent grade. It could be said that this greatsword was one of the few rare pieces of equipment in the entire server.
This luck was absolutely unrivaled!
