Chapter 010 Newbie Village Announcement!
About twenty minutes later.
After Su Yu easily killed a Swiftwind Hound in the distance with a single Soul-Severing Arrow, a golden light flashed across his body.
Congratulations on reaching level 5! You have gained +1 to all attributes, +5 to your free attribute, and +5 skill points.
Immediately afterwards, Su Yu skillfully allocated all five free attribute points he had just acquired to the agility attribute.
This gave him a slight boost to his attack speed and movement speed.
"Finally, I can go run dungeons." A hint of joy flashed in Su Yu's eyes.
In order to reach level 5 as soon as possible and start farming dungeons, Su Yu didn't stop for a moment, constantly running and searching for nearby monsters.
This allowed him to accomplish the feat of killing nearly a hundred Swifthounds and raising his level to level five in less than twenty minutes.
Although the continuous running had greatly depleted his physical strength, the golden light from the upgrade had immediately restored him to his peak condition, leaving him feeling completely refreshed.
Just as Su Yu was about to go to run a dungeon, a notification sound suddenly rang in his ears.
[New Player Village Announcement: Player Yu Huang has reached level 5 first! The chat and level leaderboard in New Player Village #9528 are now officially open!]
[As the first player in starting village 9528 to reach level 5, player Yu Huang is hereby rewarded with: 1 Silver-grade skill book for this profession and 10 reputation points.]
"Hmm? A silver-level skill book? This reward seems pretty good." Su Yu's lips curled into a smile.
He didn't expect that being the first player in the starting village to reach level 5 would earn him extra rewards.
The silver-grade skill book is the highest-grade skill book he has ever seen, which is quite good.
As for the 10 reputation points, Su Yu didn't know what they were for, so he could only ignore them for the time being.
However, Su Yu guessed that the reputation points should be a good thing, since there are a total of 5,000 players in a newbie village, and only the first player to reach level 5 can get these 10 reputation points.
Things are valued for their rarity, so it's easy to see that the reputation points must be quite valuable.
Without hesitation, Su Yu opened his backpack and immediately used the silver-level skill book for his profession.
Congratulations on acquiring the Silver-tier skill: Lightning Bolt!
【lv1 Lightning Arrow (Silver): Active skill, fires a lightning arrow, dealing 100+Physical Attack Power*120% lightning damage to the target, with a certain probability of causing paralysis.
After Lightning Bolt hits a target, it can jump between up to twelve targets (a target can only take damage once), with subsequent damage reduced by 5% each time.
Costs 50 mana, 15-second cooldown.
"They actually released an area-of-effect skill! This is like a pillow being delivered just when you're about to fall asleep." Su Yu nodded in satisfaction.
With the Lightning Arrow area-of-effect skill, his efficiency in clearing dungeons will be greatly improved.
The high monster density in dungeons makes them ideal for using area-of-effect (AoE) skills.
In the wild, where monster density is low, there are usually only two or three monsters gathered together, making it impossible to fully utilize area-of-effect skills.
Just like Lightning Bolt can jump between up to twelve targets, plus the first target hit, it can hit up to thirteen targets at once.
Encountering thirteen targets at once in the wild is extremely rare.
At least Su Yu had never seen this during his leveling up period; the most he had ever seen was three monsters together.
However, this is not the case in dungeons, where it is very common to see a dozen or so monsters gathered together.
This is why it's generally necessary to team up for dungeons; the monster density in dungeons is high, and if you don't team up, you'll just get mobbed by monsters.
Soloing a dungeon is only possible when an individual's strength far exceeds that of the monster.
"I'll try out the new features, the level leaderboard and the chat public screen, and then I'll go grind some dungeons." Su Yu made his decision quickly, and then immediately opened the level leaderboard.
[Level Ranking of Beginner Village No. 9528]
[First Place: Yu Huang, Level 5.]
Second place: Wang Meng is truly fierce, level 3.
[Third place: The wind is picking up, level 2.]
[Fourth Place: Upright and Righteous, Level 2.]
……
[10th Place: Prodigal Son, Level 2.]
"The second place is already at level three. It seems we can't underestimate the others." Su Yu thought to himself.
They have only been in the "Immortality" game for about two hours. To reach level 3 in about two hours, they must have the strength to fight a level 2 Gale Rabbit alone.
It's important to know that a level 2 Gale Rabbit is far more powerful than a level 1 Big-eared Rabbit.
Level 2 Gale Rabbits have a full 300 health points, 45 attack power, and considerable defense. Even if an ordinary player upgrades to level 2, they are no match for them.
If you're hunting Swift Rabbits in a team, with the experience points split evenly, it's almost impossible to reach level 3 in such a short time.
In a starting village with only 5,000 players, someone managed to acquire the strength to solo the Swift Rabbit in such a short time.
There are at least three to four billion players worldwide who have entered the game "Immortality," so you can imagine how many experts there are.
"I wonder if there are any players in the other starting villages who have already reached level 5," Su Yu thought to himself.
Although Su Yu possesses god-level talent, his talent is growth-type, and his advantage in the early stages is not very obvious.
Only when he has accumulated enough skill points and raised the level of a large number of skills to a level that is unimaginable to ordinary people will he have an absolute crushing advantage.
In the early stages, those with god-level talents are likely not much weaker than him.
Even some talents, despite their low rank, can have an absolute advantage in the early stages.
For example, a talent that adds 10,000 fixed damage to each basic attack naturally gives the user an invincible advantage in the early game.
However, in the later stages, it becomes a completely useless talent, and it might not even be able to break through other people's shields.
Su Yu believed that even if there were stronger people than him in the early stages, he would be absolutely invincible in the later stages.
He has absolute confidence in his god-like talent of unlimited growth.
