1 1. Rebirth, billions of Spiritual Energy!_1

Parallel universe, East Sea City.
Wheeze——wheeze——
In a 50 square meter room of Osmanthus District, a young man around 22 or 23 years old suddenly sat up in bed, gasping heavily.
"Wasn't I killed by Skuru people? How could it be…"
Looking around the familiar environment, Su Yu quickly reached for his phone on the bedside table.
"May 29, 2120… Am I reborn?! And even before the grand transformation?"
Looking at the date displayed on his phone, Su Yu's face couldn't believe it.
According to his memory, three days later, on June 1, Skuru aliens would invade Blue Star.
Skuru Star was somewhat more advanced than Blue Star, possessing the ability to obliterate Blue Star humans and completely occupy Blue Star within a month.
However, according to the game rules set by the god-level civilization – the Singer Civilization:
When an advanced civilization invades a weaker one, the Singers would provide a period of protection and some means of self-defense to the weaker civilization.
The Skuru's invasion was thus postponed for a year, until June 1, 2121.
At the same time, the Singer Civilization provided two means of self-defense to the Blue Star humans.
First, Spirit Power Awakening.
At that time, all the spiritual energy stored in the mantle would be activated, enhancing the strength of all Blue Star humans.
Second, a super-realistic game – "Evolution".
Once Blue Star humans reached level 50 in "Evolution", they could manifest their in-game strength into the real world.
Regrettably, when the grand transformation began in Su Yu's previous life, the governments of various countries were unaware that real-world manifestation was possible through "Evolution".
By the time they started to take it seriously and encouraged all citizens to explore the game, it was half a year later, when the third expansion pack was released, and some players had reached level 50.
A step slow, steps slow.
On June 1, 2121, the fully prepared Skuru invaders attacked in waves, pressuring Blue Star humans.
And Su Yu, he died in the battle against the Skuru.
…
Su Yu stared at the date displayed on his phone screen, his face rigid, and he was speechless for a long time.
After a long time, he finally came back to his senses:
"The server for 'Evolution' should be going online in three days. During that time, I must get a game helmet!"
"Also, the first time you log into the game, the game helmet will absorb all the spiritual energy within a five-kilometer radius, I better bring the helmet to a Spiritual Spring Eye….."
Su Yu began to take action, mumbling to himself as he dialed the hotline to purchase a game helmet.
He wasn't one to sit back and await his death.
As for whether Su Yu's rebirth could cause a butterfly effect and disturb the overall situation of the humans, he was unsure himself.
Regardless, do what humans can do and leave the rest to destiny!
…
Three days later, at 7:30 AM, Su Yu drove his old car to a quiet mountain on the outskirts of East Sea City.
"Yunlu Mountain, this is the place."
Su Yu picked up the game helmet from the back seat and began to hike up the mountain.
The game helmet for "Evolution" cost 30,000 yuan, almost all of his savings from working for a year after graduation, but Su Yu didn't mind at all.
Humans were on the brink of destruction, what's the use of money?
Standing on the top of the mountain with the helmet, looking at the magnificent mountains and rivers around him, Su Yu was filled with emotion.
Now, almost no one in the country knew the name of this obscure mountain, Yunlu Mountain, but in half a year's time, the name of this mountain would spread all over the country.
Because of the Spirit Power Awakening, 24 megatype, 108 largetype, and 3600 smalltype "Spiritual Spring Eyes" would open worldwide, spewing out spiritual energy.
And the "Yunlu Mountain Spiritual Spring Eye" was the largest one worldwide!
Time passed by minute by minute.
"It's 8 o'clock! It's time for the 'Evolution' server to go online. The grand transformation is about to begin!" Su Yu's face became serious.
Soon, the ground began to shake violently.
About two kilometers north of the mountaintop, the ground suddenly cracked open, a deep hole!
At the same time, a vast amount of milky white, faint purple spiritual energy spewed out from the hole, spreading out in all directions, a flood of spiritual energy surging towards the sky.
"It's really beautiful!" Su Yu looked at the substantial "Energy Column" and squinted his eyes.
Though the Spiritual Spring Eye seemed like Blue Star's gift to humanity, enhancing the strength of all humans, Su Yu knew that it was also one of the roots of humanity's suffering.
About an hour later, a Skuru spaceship would arrive here, occupy the Spiritual Spring Eye and build a base.
Humans not only failed to enjoy any benefits brought by the Spiritual Spring Eye, but the Skuru, using the energy from the spring eye, created a large number of terrifying monsters, causing great trouble to humans.
For this reason, Su Yu's absorption of the spiritual energy here is not only harmless to humans, but also undermines the power of the Skuru.
You could say it's killing two birds with one stone!
After seeing the spiritual energy spewing out from the ground, Su Yu quickly put on the game helmet.
"Enter the game!
"Loading the 'Evolution' game…"
He heard the familiar game loading sound in his ear, and Su Yu's consciousness connected with the helmet, delving into the deep game world.
"Ding, we have detected spiritual energy materials in your surroundings, would you like to absorb them?"
"Yes!"
"Start absorbing, please wait."
In the outside world, the enormous celestial energy column seems to be attracted by an invisible force, all converging towards Su Yu on the mountaintop.
The endless spiritual energy enveloping him in layers was absorbed by the helmet.
In the game, Su Yu's "Spiritual Energy Value" panel was skyrocketing!
One hundred thousand!
One million!
Ten million!
One hundred million!
In the end, the "Spiritual Energy Value" stopped at the number ten billion.
Su Yu couldn't help but be astonished.
In his previous life, he had entered the game half a year later, and at that time, the spiritual energy value he acquired was only 11 points.
But now, ten billion!
"Detected spiritual energy is at the absorption limit, do you want to enter the game."
"Don't enter, exit the game!" Su Yu quickly made a decision.
That's because, in about an hour, Skuru spaceships will descend here, and he certainly doesn't want to be the first human captured by the Skuru.
After exiting the game, Su Yu took off his helmet.
Because the helmet had absorbed almost all of the spiritual energy nearby, the "Yunlu Mountain Spring Eye" to the north seemed lifeless, completely lacking the grand erupting momentum it had earlier.
Su Yu didn't care about this, he quickly grabbed the game helmet and ran down the mountain.
At the foot of the mountain, on the road, Su Yu got into his old car, stepped on the gas and left Yunlu Mountain behind.
…
An hour later, a crack several kilometers wide tore open in the sky above Yunlu Mountain.
A 200-meter long brown-gray spaceship descended on top of Yunlu Mountain.
Inside the spaceship, a Skuru female pilot with light green skin reported to her superior:
"Commander, anomaly detected in Giant Spiritual Spring Eye 001, its spewing volume is equivalent to a small Spiritual Spring Eye."
"How could this be?" The Skuru male commander sitting in the control room was taken aback: "Could it be that we landed in the wrong place?"
"No, sir. The coordinate data is completely normal."
"Well… let's just land here then, follow the orders from headquarters." The Skuru commander said.
"Understood."

Half an hour later, Su Yu returned to his rental house and connected the game helmet to the power supply.
Like a laptop, the game helmet could only be played for two or three hours at most without power, so it had to be connected to the power supply for a long gaming duration.
"This time, I've made a fortune! Not only did I acquire billions of resources, but I also weakened Skuru's power!"
Feeling quite pleased, Su Yu donned the helmet and entered the game.
After a grand CG sequence, Su Yu found himself in an ancient temple.
The walls of the temple were engraved with complex and mysterious runes, and in the center of the temple, a colossal sword, three times the height of a man, was embedded. Finndd the new𝒆st 𝒏ovels on n/𝒐/velbin(.)com
This was the login interface for "Evolution".
"Welcome to 'Evolution', adventurer. You have absorbed one hundred billion Spirit Power Values, would you like to convert them into spiritual energy coins?"
The usually cold game alert sound was laced with a hint of flattery and appeasement, an unusual occurrence that left Su Yu a bit disoriented.
"Convert all of it!"
"Ding, conversion successful, you have received one hundred billion spiritual energy coins!"
Seeing the column of spiritual energy coins displaying "10000000000", Su Yu, despite his nerves of steel thanks to his experiences, was left stupefied.
Spiritual energy coins are the common in-game currency.
At the beginning of the game, the off-the-line exchange price for spiritual energy coins remained high at 1:10 Flower Coins.
Furthermore, the value of the spiritual energy coins was quite stable; it never fell below 10:1, even in the later stages of the game, when most players were at levels 50 or 60.
"So, if I were to exchange all these spiritual energy coins for Flower Coins, wouldn't I be a billionaire?"
Su Yu felt his lips going dry.
However, the game prompt broke his reverie:
"Please select your occupation."
In front of the enormous sword in the temple, phantoms of the seven available occupations appeared.
"The mighty Warrior."
"The mystic Mage."
"The blade in the shadows, Assassin."
"The devout beliefs of the Priest."
"The unwavering shield of the Holy Knights."
"The twirling arrow, Archer."
"The balance of nature, Druid."
The seven spectral representations of the occupations, clad in splendid high-ranking equipment, showcased their respective skills at the temple's center.
Blades whirled, fire waves rolled, giant bears roared, holy light shone…
Through Su Yu's experienced perspective, it was clear that the quality of the equipment worn by each of these specters was high, at least of Epic quality.
Moreover, the skills being displayed were indeed rare within the game, so the presentation was not misleading.
"I choose Mage." Su Yu made his decision.
The Mage occupation had few spells available at the early stages of the game, and leveling up was rather difficult due to constantly having to sit down to recover after casting just a few spells.
But Su Yu had one hundred billion spiritual energy coins! There was nothing money couldn't solve.
Moreover, the Mage occupation was the one in which power could be increased most quickly by throwing money at it.
"Ding, the 'Mage' occupation has been selected. Please name your character."
"Hmm…" Su Yu fell into deep thought.
What should he choose for a name?
"Skuru Destroyer"?
That won't do — it was too blatant and could attract the attention of the governments around the world. After all, only the higher-ups of the global governments knew about the term "Skuru."
"I'll name him 'Nemesis'!" After some thought, Su Yu made up his mind.
"Name successful. You have gained one opportunity to randomly draw a 'Bloodline'. Would you like to draw one?"
"Draw."
"Ding! Congratulations, you have obtained the common Bloodline [Forest Elf Blood, which increases spell power by 5% in forest environments. Would you like to spend 10 spiritual energy coins to draw again?"
"Draw again." Su Yu didn't hesitate.
The quality of Bloodlines is categorized as common (white), excellent (green), rare (blue), epic (purple), and legendary (orange).
As someone with hundreds of billions of spiritual energy coins, how could he be content with just a common Bloodline?
"Ding! Congratulations, you have obtained the rare Bloodline [Troll Chief Bloodline]. Would you like to spend 100 spiritual energy coins to draw again?"
"Draw again."
"Ding! Congratulations, you have obtained the excellent Bloodline [Frost Naga Bloodline]…."
"Ding! Congratulations, you have obtained the epic Bloodline [Storm Dragon Bloodline]…."
Each time Su Yu chooses to draw again, the amount of spiritual energy coins required multiplies by 10.
Eventually, every time he clicked, it cost as many as ten million spiritual energy coins!
But, fortunately, once the cost reached ten million spiritual energy coins, it no longer increased.
"Goodbye, a detached house in Imperial Capital's fourth ring, draw again."
"Goodbye, ten luxury sports cars, draw again."
Even though Su Yu spoke these words, he didn't even blink an eye.
He kept on drawing, all for the sake of a legendary Bloodline.
Houses and cars were virtual objects — the most important thing was to have stronger power to ensure his survival in reality.
Finally, after drawing more than 200 times and spending over 20 billion spiritual energy coins, a burst of golden light exploded in the temple.
"Ding! Congratulations, you have obtained the legendary Bloodline [Star Bloodline]!"
"Finally, it's arrived! I must really have the luck of an emperor." Wiping off sweat, Su Yu heaved a sigh of relief.
Based on the information Su Yu had, the people who possess a legendary Bloodline were very few in the world.
Amongst the approximately three billion people who entered the game, only 5 or 6 supremely lucky individuals managed to obtain a legendary Bloodline, and this was only after half a year of gameplay had passed.
In Su Yu's case, it took just over 200 tries to obtain a legendary Bloodline, making him extremely fortunate indeed.
After completing the drawing, the details of the [Star Bloodline] were displayed before his eyes.
[Star Bloodline (Legendary)]
Bloodline Talent:
1, [Star Transformation: You can manifest your strength and skills into the real world.
2, [Point Star Hand: You can use experience points and spiritual energy coins to enhance your skills and the items you obtain, improving their quality.
After seeing the talents of the [Star Bloodline, Su Yu breathed a sigh of relief.
As expected of a legendary Bloodline! It's so powerful!
Setting aside the second talent, Su Yu was already very satisfied with the first one alone.
Other players had to reach Level 50 and complete a series of difficult tasks to materialize their strength in reality.
But Su Yu was different — he could bring his strength and skills into reality even at Level 1!
This gave him strong self-defense capability in the real world in the early stages!
As for the second talent, he would need to know more about the game before he could draw a conclusion.
3 3、Strengthen, increase damage by 21 times!_1

"Ding! Would you like to adjust your appearance?"
"Adjust it, decrease by 40%," Su Yu hurriedly responded.
In his last life, he entered the game without adjusting his appearance and ran into significant trouble.
Due to his high attractiveness, countless women swarmed around him, and he received more than a dozen suggestive private messages every time he logged on, which drained him.
"I can't be so reckless in this life. Women will only slow down my spell casting," Su Yu thought to himself.
"Entering the game, countdown 3, 2, 1, 0."
As the countdown ended, Su Yu was transported into the game.
…
The 006 Novice Village, Nolan Village.
Nolan Village is a bustling little village.
On the central square of the village, countless white flashes passed by as numerous players spawned here.
The newly spawned players were full of curiosity for this unfamiliar world.
Looking at the buildings around them that had no difference from the real world, and the shadows of the trees, they ran, jumped, and loudly discussed:
"This game is too realistic!"
"Yes! This is exactly like another world!"
"It's simply incredible! I was so disdainful when they claimed 100% reality simulation, but who thought they could make it reality?"
"Which country's black technology is this?"
"Incredible! The 30,000 yuan wasn't wasted. I will definitely invite my friends to play!"
Hearing the enthusiastic discussion of the new players, a faint smile appeared at the corner of Su Yu's mouth.
"Ah, to be young!"
When he first entered the game world in his previous life, he was also amazed by the game's outstanding performance.
But now he had grown accustomed to this world, so he didn't really care.
Su Yu left the crowded crowd and opened his attribute panel in a corner of the square.

And his skill [Point Star Hand, can enhance the quality of items and skills.
Su Yu tried it out:
"Ding, do you want to spend 10 spiritual energy coins to strengthen the [Novice Wand (Common)]?"
"Confirm!"
"Ding, [Novice Wand (Common)] quality increased to [Novice Wand (Excellent)] with spell power 4, additional attribute: spell penetration 3."
"Ding, do you want to spend 100 spiritual energy coins to strengthen the [Novice Wand (Excellent)]?"
"Confirm!"
"Ding, [Novice Wand (Excellent)] quality increased to [Novice Wand (Rare)] with spell power 5, additional attribute: intelligence 3."
Regrettably, when Su Yu chose to fortify again, the system prompted "Level 10 required to continue strengthening."
So, he had to stop.
However, the attributes of the [Novice Wand] now became:
[Novice Wand (Rare)]
Spell Power 10
Spell Penetration 3
Intelligence 3
"These attributes are really powerful! After strengthening, it's almost on par with a level 10 green quality wand!" Su Yu admired.
Never one to leave things half done, he also strengthened the [Novice Robe] to rare blue quality.
[Novice Robe lv1 (Rare)]
Defense 10
Physical Resistance 3
Mana Recovery Speed 3
"It seems as though I can wear level 10 equipment at just level one, making me worthy of the [Legendary Bloodline]!"
Su Yu couldn't help but think of his past life, where he only had a common quality [Human Mechanic Bloodline] (-10% repair costs). It was totally incomparable to now.
Besides equipment, skills can also be strengthened.
"Ding, do you want to spend 100 spiritual energy coins to strengthen the [Magic Bullet (Common)]?"
"Confirm!"
"Ding, [Magic Bullet (Common)] quality upgraded to [Magic Bullet (Excellent), spell damage increased by 100%, casting time -0.5 second, mana consumption increased by 5."
"Ding, do you want to spend 1000 spiritual energy coins…"
Upon completion of the strengthening, the [Magic Bullet] quality had been upgraded to [Magic Bullet (Rare)].
[Magic Bullet (Rare): Launches a magic bullet, dealing 300% spell power damage to the target. Casting time is 0.5 second, and it consumes 15 mana points.
Compared to the original skill, [Magic Bullet (Rare])'s damage increased from 100% to 300%, which is three times the original! Casting time also decreased from 1.5 seconds to 0.5 second!
The only drawback might be that the mana consumed for casting also increased by three times.
But that was a minor defect.
Su Yu was very satisfied, "Now I understand why the experts in my previous life had such high damage! Even the level 20 signature skill, [Snipe, of the Archer only has a panel damage of 300%!"
"Wait a minute! If [Magic Bullet] can be strengthened, can't [Point Star Hand] be strengthened as well?"
Su Yu quickly tried it out.
But he soon received the game notice, "Ding! Strengthening a legendary quality skill requires level 30."
He had to give it up.
However, after a round of strengthening, Su Yu's spell power increased from 9 to 21 points.
In addition to the threefold increase in [Magic Bullet] damage, along with the threefold decrease in casting speed, his DPS (Damage Per Second) was at least 21 times that of other novice mages!
"No rush for the hidden mission, I should first try out my monster slaying efficiency in the wild!" Su Yu was itching to try out his monster slaying abilities.
But before that, he had to buy a substantial amount of mana potions.
His mana points were only 100, and the mana consumption of [Magic Bullet] was 15. He would run out of mana after casting only six or seven spells. That would not do.
With this in mind, Su Yu hurriedly walked towards the mage hut in the novice village where there were sufficient potions for sale.
4 4. Trigger hidden mission, Old Mage's invitation_1
Translator: 549690339
Because there were too many fledgling players in the village, the Magician's Cabin had been set up as a separate plane.VIssiT n0(v)eL/b(i)(n).𝘤𝑜𝓂 for the best novel reading experience
Pushing open the heavy oak door and stepping inside, only an aged magician with a beard as white as snow could be seen.
"Boss, I want to buy magic potions."
Su Yu rapped his fingers on the table.
At this point, the old magician was busy preparing a pot of green solution in a crucible.
Hearing Su Yu's words, he glanced up at him, then turned his head away, saying coldly:
"Get out of here! Is this a place you should be? My most basic potion costs at least five spiritual energy coins, can you afford it? Newbies should stick to their tasks, clearing out monsters, and not aim too high!"
The NPCs in "Evolution" all have very advanced AI and have their distinctive personalities.
The old magician saw Su Yu's novice mage cloak and wand, assumed he was a pauper, and have no intention to serve him.
Su Yu smiled.
He did not argue but began to materialize the spiritual energy coins from his backpack.
A ton of them suddenly cascaded out!
The translucent spiritual energy coins poured out, covering the entire wooden table. At a glance, there had to be several thousand just there!
The old magician turned his head on hearing the noise.
Seeing a table full of spiritual energy coins, his hand which was brewing potions froze, his eyes bugging out.
What was happening? Why was this novice mage so rich?
Being a 30th-level mage and a part-time alchemist, even he found it hard to produce so much money effortlessly!
Thus, his attitude made a swift 180-degree turn:
"Heh heh, young brother, it was just a misunderstanding! What do you need? My stock is very well-rounded!"
The old magician put on a friendly face and sidled up to Su Yu.
Looking at the table full of spiritual energy coins, he rubbed his hands eagerly.
The magician's 'flip-flop' made Su Yu think of an old saying: 'Arrogant at first but respectful later, the thought of it is laughable.'
But he wasn't going to argue with an NPC.
After taking the "Exchange List" handed by the old magician, Su Yu began to check them off:
"[Beginners' Mana Potion] 300 bottles, [Beginners' Wisdom Potion] 100 bottles, [Fireball] magic scrolls 300 copies, [Ice Arrow] magic scroll 100 copies…"
Each stack in the backpack has a limit of 100.
So Su Yu bought many sets of potions and magic scrolls he needed, each set containing 100 items and stuffed them into his bag until it was filled.
As for recovery potions, Su Yu didn't buy any because the monsters in the newbie village were clumsy, and he wouldn't require any recovery potions, instead, they would occupy his backpack's slots.
…
Seeing Su Yu purchasing so many high-value items at a time, the old magician rushed around fetching things, his initial arrogance gone.
The entire shopping spree cost Su Yu 30,000 spiritual energy coins, which probably exceeded the sum of all the newbies in the village combined.
However, he didn't even blink an eye, and once the transaction was completed, he walked away.
Seeing Su Yu leaving, the old magician hurriedly waved his hand to keep him back, "Wait a moment, young brother!"
"What is it?" Su Yu turned around.
"Heh heh, it's like this," the old mage explained right away, "I see that you have an extraordinary bone structure and are surrounded by elemental energy, which makes you a rare magical genius…"
"Get to the point."
"Alright…I want to ask, would you be interested in joining the force I am part of – 'Scholar's Temple'? 'Scholar's Temple' is among the top forces in this entire continent! Plenty of mages are scrambling to enter but couldn't!"
The old magician's face was beaming with enthusiasm.
Seeing how Su Yu can splurge several ten thousand spiritual energy coins in such a short time, he knew Su Yu must be bloody rich!
Pulling such a wealthy man into the force would earn him substantial rewards from his superiors.
"Ding! You have triggered the hidden excellent quest [Join Scholar's Temple]."
"Quest criteria: Accept the magician Prism's invitation and join the force – Scholar's Temple."
"Quest rewards: [Scholar's Temple Invitation]X1, Experience PointsX200."
On the forgotten continent, there were a variety of forces, both big and small, and the players could choose to join any one of them.
Su Yu knew about "Scholar's Temple", and indeed, the benefits of joining it were immense.
In his past life, a player had to reach a level of 20 and complete more than 30 rounds of quests to earn the recognition of Scholar's Temple which allows him to join.
But Su Yu was not satisfied.
He smirked: "You think I don't know? Scholar's Temple is only considered a third-rate power in the mainland, it's far inferior to first-rate powers like Silver Pine Spire and Elemental Dome!"
Su Yu didn't accept the quest and turned toward the exit.
The old magician Prism was utterly stunned. How did this newbie sorcerer know about Silver Pine Spire and Elemental Dome? How could a newbie have so much knowledge?
However, he knew Su Yu was not easy to trick.
Seeing Su Yu's foot was already at the doorstep, the old magician hurriedly kept him back again:
"Wait! I haven't finished yet! I'm willing to come up with something precious I've kept for many years in exchange!"
"Ding! The quest has changed. You have triggered the hidden rare quest: [Join Scholar's Temple (Revised)]."
"Quest criteria: Hand in material [Silver Snake Gall] dropped by a Level 5 Boss [Silver Snake Leader]."
"Quest rewards: [Scholar's Temple Invitation] X1, Skill Scroll [Flash Chain (Superior)] x1, Experience Points X500."
When Su Yu saw the [Flash Chain] skill scroll in the quest reward, he was taken aback.
[Flash Chain] is an area damage skill, which was scarce in the early game.
If he remembered correctly, in his past life, he needed to trigger a hidden quest at the old magician's and complete 30 rounds of high difficulty quests to obtain the [Flash Chain] skill scroll.
Now, he only needed to hand in a [Silver Snake Gall]?
…
Looking delighted, the old magician chimed in,
"You're so rich so getting a [Silver Snake Gall] from an adventurer should be easy, shouldn't it be not difficult for you, right?"
But when he put it that way, the old magician realized something wasn't right.
No!
It was clearly me inviting him to join the force, which was beneficial to all of us, why did it seem like I was begging him now?
Su Yu smirked: "Well, I guess I won't find it hard to accept then, wait for my good news!"
Su Yu accepted the quest and walked away from the Magician's Cottage.
Although 'Scholar's Temple' was only a third-rated power in the continent, it was very open-minded and there were no obstacles to leave. It was indeed a good place to stay in the early stage.
Having an area effect skill in the early stages was a great benefit to him, so Su Yu was quite satisfied.
5 5, Level 3 monsters, Instant kill! _1
Translator: 549690339
Area full of wild creatures just outside the beginner's village.
Su Yu entered the game half an hour later than everyone else, and the area was already packed with players.
The leveling speed in "Evolution" is extremely slow.
Killing a level 1 Slime only awards 1 experience point, while leveling up from level 1 to level 2 requires 1000 points of experience.
You need to kill a whopping 1000 Slimes just to level up once!
That's why the level 1 wild area is filled with players.
Everyone is scattered around, and as soon as a Slime reappears, 5 or 6 attack spells are thrown its way. The competition is fierce.
Su Yu didn't plan on fighting for monsters with everyone else, so he headed directly to the higher-level monster area.
There are fewer players in the area for level 2 Goblins.
Because a level 1 newbie can't beat a level 2 creature alone, the people there are often part of teams of 3 to 4, working together to take down a Goblin.
At the entrance of the creature area, a middle-aged warrior with a scruffy beard and a lively young female assassin are discussing something.
Seeing Su Yu enter the area, the young woman's eyes lit up and she walked over to him:
"Friend, would you like to team up for creature hunting? We have two people in our team right now, and with you, we could start!"
Su Yu looked at her name hovering above her head.
"Snow Fall", a very poetic name.
But he just smiled kindly: "I think I'll pass!"
He then pointed at the area for level 3 wild creatures: "I'll go check out over there."
"Young man, don't waste your time over there." The middle-aged uncle marched towards Su Yu and advised, "My daughter and I just came back from the level 3 creature area. Leveling up there requires a team of five people, including a priest, and it's not efficient."
The middle-aged uncle's name was "Snow Balm", similar in style to his daughter's.
Something didn't feel right.
"No worries, I just want to take a look."
Su Yu rejected their kindness and headed towards the level 3 wild creature area.
Watching Su Yu's receding figure, the middle-aged uncle shrugged and said to his daughter: "Luo Luo, it seems we need to team up with someone else."
"Yeah! He's quite handsome, but he doesn't seem very smart." Snow Fall made a face at Su Yu's retreating figure.
Off in the distance, Su Yu heard their conversation and couldn't help but wipe his sweat.
His appearance had already been toned down by 40%, and he was still considered "quite handsome"?
It seems like becoming a normal person is really difficult!
…
Upon arriving at the level 3 wild creature area, there were very few players.
Looking from a distance, Su Yu could only see three five-person teams leveling up here.
The level 3 creature was called a "Black Boar", with 50 health points.
The attacks of the five-person teams only dealt "-2" or "-3" damage to the Boar.
Moreover, after scrimmaging for a while, either the priests would run out of mana or the warriors would run out of health. Leveling up was tough.
Su Yu avoided these people and chose a secluded spot where no one could see him to start his grind.
He waved his wand and cast his spell skillfully.
Half a second later, a Magic Bullet the size of an apple shot out from the tip of his wand and hit the unsuspecting Black Boar.
-60!
A huge number appeared.
The Black Boar collapsed at the sound!
With merely one hit, the level 3 Boar was instantly killed by Su Yu!
I wonder what the teams nearby would think if they saw this.
The system log also notified him:
"Ding! You killed a lv3 Black Boar and gained 3 experience points."
Unfortunately, the Black Boar did not drop any items.
"The legendary bloodline sure is powerful!" Su Yu exclaimed in his mind:
"If I hadn't drawn the 'Star Bloodline,' I'd probably still be desperately fighting over Slimes. Now, my leveling speed has increased exponentially!"
Of course, besides the legendary bloodline, having money was also a necessary requirement.
After all, he spent 1100 spiritual energy coins to level up Magic Bullet.
Currently, a level 1 newbie can only earn 8 to 15 spiritual energy coins from a full day of grinding.
If you're broke, even with a legendary bloodline, the early-game advantage isn't that noticeable.
"With this method of leveling up, I believe I can reach level 2 in just a few minutes!"
Su Yu became invigorated and threw himself into the career of attacking (slaughtering) wild boars.
He wielded the wand in his right hand, releasing [Magic Bullet, while his left hand continuously activated [Fireball] and [Ice Arrow] scrolls.
A [Magic Bullet] could kill a wild boar in one hit, and a single spell scroll could also crush one.
Not a single [Black Wild Boar] could resist Su Yu's attack, falling to the ground in droves.
Su Yu gradually advanced, gradually sweeping through half of the monster area.
…
10 minutes later, in the level 2 monster area.
Snow Fall and her father still couldn't find suitable teammates.
After refusing several lecherous male players' invites to join the team, she looked towards the level 3 monster area on her tiptoes:
"Dad, why hasn't that 'Nemesis' come back yet? He wasn't killed by the wild boar, was he?"
"Who am I supposed to ask if you're asking me?" Snow Balm, carrying his shield, suddenly said: "Luo Luo, you haven't fallen for that young man, have you?"
"Certainly not! How is that possible?" Snow Fall rolled her eyes: "Who falls in love at first sight? Do you think this is a TV drama?"
"Haha, you can't fool me, your mother gave me the same look when she first saw me." Snow Balm laughed heartily.
Snow Fall turned red and stomped her foot, looking like she was about to blow up.
Snow Balm quickly changed the subject:
"Cough cough, since we have some time now, why don't we go to the level 3 monster area and look for that young man? He might be on his way back."
"Um… okay." Snow Fall strangely nodded her head.
…
Meanwhile, after 10 minutes of "great boar slaughter", Su Yu had accumulated 1000 experience points and successfully levelled up to lv2.Gett your 𝒇avorite 𝒏ovels at no/v/e/lb𝒊n(.)com
Although he entered the game half an hour later than other players, he caught up with the first cohort after grinding monsters for 10 minutes!
Unfortunately, in "Evolution", the rate of equipment dropping from monsters is quite low.
In these 10 minutes, Su Yu had slain over 300 wild boars. Apart from harvesting some [Wild Boar Meat, [Wild Boar Hide, [Wild Boar Bone] and other materials, only three pieces of equipment dropped, two of which were for other classes.
Only one piece of [Cloth Boots (Normal)] was suitable for Su Yu, and he upgraded them to a rare quality.
[Cloth Boots (Rare)]
Defense 10
Movement Speed 0.4
Intelligence 3
The "0.4 Movement Speed" means that you can walk an extra 0.4 meter per second.
Su Yu's initial movement speed was "1.2", meaning he walks at 1.2 meters per second and runs at 6 meters per second.
With the [Cloth Boots, his walking speed increased to 1.6 meters per second and running speed to 8 meters per second, which was significantly faster than others.
