With a starting talent that's practically top-tier, even an old man can go against the heavens!

"My third uncle has replied!"

"Oh, Brother Kun really has influence. Let's see what he says."

Kun smiled, clearly pleased, and reached out to open the message bar.

But after seeing the message, the smile on his face froze instantly.

The other three became anxious upon seeing his expression.

"What did you say?"

Kun Ge looked completely deflated, hanging his head dejectedly.

"...My third uncle said that during the initial clearing period, we shouldn't cause trouble and should focus on leveling up..."

"this..."

Chen Fan and the others were dumbfounded.

Liu Ruyun crossed her arms, looking unhappy, and pursed her lips in complaint.

"It's all your fault! You had to go and provoke that old man. Now look what happened!"

"I..."

"Hey, stop arguing and hurry up and level up, we're both at the bottom."

The skinny archer, his face full of worry, walked out of the village.

Kun sighed and followed silently.

Liu Ruyun glared at Chen Fan and stormed off.

Chen Fan stood there, his face dark, his fists clenched so tightly they turned white...

"You old bastard, just you wait."

......

On the other side, Chen Beixuan had already arrived at the level 5 area.

He can now deal around 500 damage with a single lightning spell, making it the right way to fight monsters above his level!

Looking around, there wasn't a single player in the level 5 area.

Only hordes of savage pigmen, wielding stone axes, and looking fierce.

------

Savage Pigmen: Level 5

Blood volume: 800

Attack: 75

Defense: 20

Magic resistance: 20

Skills: Throwing Stone Axe, Savage Charge.

------

"Range skills?"

Upon seeing the skill "Throwing Stone Axe," Chen Beixuan's eyes flickered slightly.

I became slightly more wary.

"Thunder and lightning!"

boom--

-153, -57.

Lucky Combo +1!

-153, -57.

Four bolts of lightning struck the Savage Pigman in quick succession!

A total of 438 points of damage were dealt!

The Savage Pigman has 20 points of magic resistance.

Each lightning bolt was calculated separately, which significantly reduced his damage.

Even so, the damage was still considerable.

The savage pigman roared in fury as it was attacked!

He swung the stone axe at him with all his might!

"It really was a ranged attack..."

Chen Beixuan was prepared and dodged the stone axe with a twist of his body.

After the cooldown ended, another lightning spell was unleashed!

boom!

The savage pigman let out a mournful cry and collapsed to the ground.

[Ding! You have defeated a Level 5 Savage Pigman, gaining 90 (200% bonus) experience points! +4 copper coins!]

"One monster gives 90 experience points; it's so satisfying to fight monsters above your level..."

You get double the experience for each level you advance, up to a maximum of 10 times.

At this rate, I only need to kill 4 more to level up!

Let's get started!

Chen Beixuan grinned and continued grinding monsters...

at the same time.

The core raiding team of the Extinction Guild is currently dealing with a level 3 monster.

Mr. Zhang is a fat man in his thirties who works as an archer.

At this moment, he was giving orders while simultaneously drawing his bow and shooting arrows to maintain output.

"Quickly, hold on! If it gets too much, use medicine. Healers, heal quickly! Everyone else, go all out and deal damage!"

The lead knight held up his shield to tank the monster.

The health bar above his head was bouncing around wildly, it was quite thrilling.

They are all at level 2 or close to level 3, and are the core squad of the guild.

I got lucky and got a few pieces of basic equipment, so I tried farming level 3 monsters.

Level 3 monsters have 65 attack points, which greatly tests team coordination.

One wrong move and you could easily crash and burn.

As Mr. Zhang fired an arrow, the monster's health bar was emptied and it collapsed to the ground.

"Haha, let's keep grinding like this. There's an extra experience bonus for leveling up. If we grind a few more, we'll be level 3."

Mr. Zhang, with his fat head and big ears, had a face full of wrinkles when he smiled.

Knight ID Extinction_Roshan chuckled and said, "We're definitely the first team to kill a level 3 monster! We're way ahead!"

"We can't let our guard down. All the major guilds are going all out. We're just lucky."

Mr. Zhang suddenly continued in a serious tone.

"The game has only just begun, and the situation changes every day during the early stages."

"Today we may be in first place, but tomorrow we might be in last place, so we must not be careless!"

"Mr. Zhang is right!"

The assistant monk beside him quickly followed suit, smiling and echoing.

"Okay, enough talk, let's get on with it."

Mr. Zhang smiled and ended the conversation.

But something he caught his attention out of the corner of his eye.

He squinted and looked into the distance, then exclaimed in surprise.

"Hey? Look over there, doesn't that look like a mage's lightning spell?"

Upon hearing this, everyone looked up and gazed into the distance, their faces full of confusion.

When they saw the lightning on the horizon, they were all stunned.

"There are actually people farming monsters over there, but... that's a high-level area, what's going on..."

"There's only a lightning spell effect, nothing else. Could it be just one person? That's impossible..."

Everyone was shocked.

They had to be extremely careful when fighting level 3 monsters.

Now there are actually people soloing monsters in the wild, and they're even higher level than them?

What they couldn't understand the most was...

How did a mage manage to do that?

"Xiao Wang, hurry up and go see what's going on. Try to avoid any conflict."

"Okay, Mr. Zhang."

The assassin named Xiao Wang moved swiftly and ran off into the distance...

......

On Chen Beixuan's side.

After cleanly and efficiently killing a pigman, a notification sounded.

[Ding! You have defeated a Level 5 Savage Pigman, gaining 90 (200% bonus) experience points! +4 copper coins!]

[Ding! Your level has increased to 4, and you have gained 3 free attribute points!]

[Ding! The [Affix Assignment] talent has taken effect, granting the gold affix [Defense Magic Circle]!]

[Defense Formation]: Gold Quality

Effect description: After releasing a defensive skill, a 5-meter radius magic circle is created centered on the caster. Within the magic circle, both physical and magical resistance are increased by 18 (magic attack power x 50%) points for 10 seconds. This effect is movable and cannot be stacked.

Chen Beixuan's eyes lit up.

What a magical skill!

The defensive effect can be seen from the monsters.

It directly deducts an equivalent amount of damage.

If he can maintain his lead, his attacking power will naturally be far ahead.

Half of the magic attack power is converted into dual resistances.

Other players probably couldn't break through his defense even if they worked themselves to death!

"Not bad, but... this defensive skill..."

Chen Beixuan pondered for a moment, then raised his hand to open the trading post and check the mage skills category.

There are three books in total, but unfortunately none of them are defensive in nature.

He shook his head, closed the trading platform, and temporarily saved the entry.

I plan to grant it later when I have defensive skills.

With attribute points invested in Intelligence, magic attack power reaches 42 points.

Then, he suddenly noticed a large fellow among the savage pigmen.

It was significantly taller than the other pigmen, and had a dazzling green halo around its body!

It’s the BOSS!

Chen Beixuan's gaze narrowed slightly, and he took two steps closer to throw out a reconnaissance item.

------

Savage Pigman King: Level 5 Dark Iron Boss

Blood volume: 3000

Attack: 120

Defense: 30

Magic resistance: 30

Skills: Smash, Berserk, Throwing Stone Axe.

BOSS Specialty:

[Basic Resilient Life]: Increases health by an additional 50%.

Note: BOSS quality is divided into six levels: Iron, Bronze, Silver, Gold, Diamond, and King.

------

"Such high stats..."

Chen Beixuan was secretly alarmed.

He calculated that, after deducting magic resistance, a single lightning spell could deal around 500 damage.

It would take at least six lightning spells to kill it!

"It's a bit tricky, but not a big problem..."

After a brief analysis, Chen Beixuan drew a conclusion.

What pleased him was that he finally had the opportunity to showcase his gaming skills, instead of simply dominating with stats.

Although...

When numerical monsters are so appealing...

Let's get started!

Chen Beixuan's gaze sharpened, and he raised his staff, preparing to cast a spell...

......
