Chapter 6: Solo Monster Killing

Chu You was frantically searching for targets in a Level Three Area, he found that his hit rate had reached 100% which meant every slash hit the flesh, coupled with attribute bonuses, his efficiency was very fast.

While searching for targets he kept an eye out for other players. He knew some players liked to take unconventional paths in hopes of finding surprising treasures like treasure chests.

Before long, a light radiated from Chu You, signaling he had leveled up!

This took Chu You half an hour. With no one else to steal his kills, he was killing a Level Three monster almost every half minute, it was only then that Chu You had managed to level up from 0 to 1.

Just imagine, leveling up in the game was incredibly difficult.

Chu You added all five of the attribute points he received from levelling up to his strength, his attack power increased by 5 points, becoming 32.

As Chu You fought, he journeyed deeper. With time, other players would also venture deeper as they might bear quests given by the NPC.

Chu You sprinted deeper into the dense forest, his tall and slim figure kicking up fallen leaves as he zipped along.

Damn, he had fought for so long, killed so many monsters, and not a single one of them had dropped any equipment, Chu You was rather disgruntled.

Chu You knew the drop rate in Celestial World was low, extremely low, and quite harsh. Furthermore, even if equipment did drop, selling it to in-game merchants would yield a terrifyingly low price, far less profitable than selling to other players.

This was a key reason why Game Coins were so valuable.

Now he didn't want to think about anything else, just focus on reaching Level 10 to make a job change. This Level 0-10 phase was merely a transitional period for players to adapt.

The real excitement of the game would only begin after the job change.

Chu You had now arrived at a Level Four Experience Monster area. Unlike Level Three monsters, the creatures here had an active attack characteristic.

On top of that, creatures here, such as wolves, no matter how far away they were, as long as they didn't exceed the Level Four Area, you'd best not let them spot you. If you were in their line of sight, they would slowly follow you. Often, players who engaged in one-on-one fights would suddenly find a wolf, or even more, unexpectedly appearing behind them.

This type of situation usually only appeared in all maps post-Level 10 job changes, it wouldn't happen in the newbie area. But where was this place? The System had given early warning that this place was not suitable for newbies, so some unusual rules appeared in this newbie area.

Chu You, in his past life, had long grown accustomed to the game's rules. His eyes steadfastly locked onto every area, just like a cautious hunter.

One against two, Chu You felt was barely manageable, but if there were three or more, he would have no choice but to turn tail and run. So, it was better to be cautious. Even though no experience was lost during death in the transitional period for beginners, respawn time was still a waste of time.

Moreover… the more times you died, the longer the auto-resurrection intervals.

Chu You remembered in his previous life, there was a player who had to wait two whole days to auto-resurrect after dying just once. The player's body had lain on the beach for two whole days without a single Priest using Resurrection Technique on him.

This was simply terrifying, downright brutal.

Well, if a Priest were to cast Resurrection Technique, it would be a different story. You would resurrect on the spot with low HP, no waiting time needed.

Chu You spotted a wolf ahead, and the wolf also noticed Chu You. They both glared at each other coldly.

It was a Level Four Grey Wolf. Chu You was Level 1.

The Grey Wolf bared its fangs and growled menacingly at Chu You. If it were an ordinary girl, she would definitely be terrified by the wolf's appearance.

Chu You was holding his beginner's longsword, his eyes calm.

The Grey Wolf gathered its strength, assumed an attacking stance, and with a burst of strength in its four legs, it charged rapidly towards Chu You from a twenty meter distance.

When the Grey Wolf was three meters away from Chu You, it leapt into the air, its mouth wide open ready to bite.

Chu You sidestepped, dodged the Grey Wolf's attack, and stabbed out with his sword, "-21 Damage" appeared, Chu You quickly took two steps back. The wolf landed right within Chu You's attack range, another strike.

Chu You, with a body just agile enough, relied on his advantages, dodged the Grey Wolf's counterattack, and struck once more.

Facing the low-level monsters, Chu You remained unscathed, sheathing his sword and leaving behind a grey wolf corpse that didn't drop anything.

Chu You turned around to continue searching for his next target.

Facing a wolf three levels higher than himself, its attributes were higher than that of the Flower Snake, so Chu You's hit rate was slightly weakened. Although there wouldn't be any embarrassing misses, the damage of his attack power had notably decreased, making a critical hit difficult to achieve.

As Chu You contemplated whether to return to the Flower Snake area, he once again encountered a wolf.

Meeting an opponent on a narrow path, the brave will prevail. However when Chu You was entangled in battle with the grey wolf, another one suddenly appeared from behind nearby rocks.

Chu You squinted his eyes, sensing danger, because the newly emerged grey wolf had also spotted Chu You and was steadily advancing towards him.

When the new grey wolf was about twenty yards away from Chu You, it suddenly adopted an attacking posture.

Fortunately, the health of the grey wolf tangled with Chu You had already dwindled to half, and the newly arrived wolf charged at the same time.

In a two on one situation, against two wolves three levels higher than himself, Chu You maintained a calm demeanor. He had faced such danger, even more perilous situations, countless times in his previous life.

Although his skills weren't particularly impressive, they were enough to handle high-level complex situations in the early stages of the game. Chu You was confident he could deal with this.

For the first time since the game started, Chu You was injured. Despite this, he was determined to kill this grey wolf and was confident he could also eliminate the other one.

A mournful howl echoed through the forest and one grey wolf fell. Chu You spun around as the sword was drawn across his chest, focusing his gaze on the remaining grey wolf.

Unexpectedly, instead of rushing for an attack, the wolf turned tail to run. It stopped ten meters away, lifted its head, and howled into the forest.

It was calling its companions for help!

When another grey wolf appeared, it wasted no time in attacking Chu You.

Chu You quickly glanced over it, and seeing that only one grey wolf had followed, a hint of a smile crossed his cool face.

It seems that this grey wolf is free experience which had come to me, saving me the trouble of hunting it down.

After a while, the grey wolf fell. The new wolf once again replicated the previous wolf's behavior.

Another grey wolf appeared. Due to the sparse population of wolves in this area, there was a delay before this one arrived. Chu You decided to move deeper into the forest while engaging the wolf.

During this period, Chu You had gained experience dealing with two grey wolves at a time. He remained relaxed and proficient. After eliminating one wolf, he would withdraw and watch as the remaining wolf called for its companions again.

Chu You suddenly realized that this place was a perfect training ground tailored for him. Choosing the right birthplace truly mattered.

Unbeknownst to him, Chu You leveled up to Level 2 once again. The perks of leveling up were a basic +1 in all attributes, with an additional increase of 2 points in Strength and Physical Strength.

Chu You designated all 5 free attribute points to Strength, raising his attack power to 41.

As long as Chu You kept a good rhythm and refrained from facing three grey wolves at once, he could continuously grow in experience.

With a light and joyful heart, Chu You's performance improved substantially.

As he journeyed deeper, Chu You gradually reached the Level Five Monster Area. After eliminating one grey wolf, he found that the remaining grey wolf did not summon its companions as before but continued to fight against Chu You instead.

It seemed this method of fighting was coming to an end, which Chu You found slightly regrettable.

Just as he was about to rest after killing the last grey wolf, cries for help echoed from within the nearby dense forest.

Chu You perked up, realizing he had stumbled upon a random quest.
