"I think I should add points in STR and AGI to improve my movements. Six points in STR and four in AGI"
At each level, the player receives five attribute points to be used on the character.
Lin Yun prioritized these two attributes because he was going to use a class that requires more agility and speed to attack. STR would be like a secondary attribute, but the current situation requires more STR because of quests.

The system rang four times, one for each log picked up.

"Defeating four creatures earned me two levels, not bad for this disastrous start. I think I will collect firewood for two days before handing in the quest, then I will collect water and finally the fruits"
Remaining Time: 160:29:12
"I spent several hours looking at the tutorials that I forgot there was time to complete the quest." Lin Yun didn't see anything else on the ground and followed the path through the forest instead of the road.
There were more creatures there than on the road.
The instant he passed the bushes on the side of the road, four more Little Sprouts attacked.
Without panicking at the sudden appearance, Lin Yun also made his move to counterattack the twisted branches.
PANG!!! PANG!!!
Using the punches and kicks, each one was broken.
The movements were smoother and less slow than before.
Lin Yun quickly defeated these Little Sprouts without needing to retreat.
"After I leave this village, I think I will rent a training room. It will be a little expensive, but the investment should be worth it."
Following the path through the dark and dimly lit forest, the young man fought fiercely with his arms and legs to attack the Little Sprouts, the only creatures that reside in this area of the forest.
Lin Yun continued his hunting and collecting firewood in the same region for about three hours until he received warnings from the system about the hunger points reaching ten points.
Every time the player gained a level, the Hunger points went back to one hundred, so it was easy to fight for longer with each level. Especially at the lower levels.
So, after some time without leveling up, the Hunger points dropped quickly.
The chosen place to eat is a thick branch of one of the trees, he would not eat on the ground, where there would be many creatures crawling around.
Just as he was about to eat the Bread, a sound was heard.
Looking towards the sound, a creature much like the Little Sprouts was spotted crawling towards it. It was a bigger, scarier version.
This area appeared to have no other players, at least that's Lin Yun's thoughts because he hasn't seen any so far. Because most prefer to hunt stronger and more ferocious creatures to level up faster, which are the targets of hunting quests.
Thus, the strongest creatures in this area are also alive, the best known is the Sprout, a larger and stronger version of the Little Sprout.
Lin Yun didn't think he would encounter this thing so soon.
Sprouts are like Little Sprouts, but the trunk is thicker and the bark is not dry. An intimidating aura emanates from the large wooden body, around it are four Little Sprouts acting as guards.
Sprout(Boss) - Level 15
"The tutorials say that this creature is a little tricky to defeat, the player needs to not only be careful with the hidden branches but also with its special skill, Living Root, a skill that summons roots from the ground to trap the target while sucking the player's HP for two minutes. The two Little Sprouts are easy to handle and shouldn't cause much trouble. The drops are also interesting, but there is only one item that caught my attention, the rest can be sold" Lin Yun quickly looked at the creature information in the database and some comments made by those who had already been there.
"I think this is a good time to test my reflexes. If I die, there should be no problem losing a level, the test will be worth it."
The Bread was swallowed quickly before being digested in his stomach, the Hunger points rose again to an acceptable value.
"Tree creature, let's see if you're as strong as you look."
Another One - Level 8 x Sprout(Boss) - Level 15
Despite the difference in level, Lin Yun managed to compensate with high attribute points, which made him a slightly stronger player than those at level 20.

Lin Yun's attributes were equivalent to an ordinary player, who had not undergone basic training, of at least level 20.
Thus, there was no danger in fighting Sprout.
Lin Yun jumped from the tree, shivering at the creature, who ordered the Little Sprout to attack the sudden target.
Unafraid, the young man just punched and kicked the twisted branches before breaking the rotting wooden trunk very easily.
Before leveling up, Lin Yun could break through without any problems, after leveling up eight levels, it became even easier.
shshshshshshshsshsshs…
The Sprout didn't make any sound in response to the loss of the two subordinates, it just crawled faster toward Lin Yun, it looked like a slug the way it crawled, but the speed was impressive. It's like a child running.
whosh!!!! whosh!!!!
Lin Yun was not intimidated and was also charged towards the target.
Thus began a life-and-death struggle between the two sides.
PANG!!! PANG!!!
The punches flew like a hail of bullets, hitting the monstrous tree trunk with surprising precision. Sometimes the Double Punch passive skill activates and more punches are thrown in quick succession, causing significant damage to the monster.
However, Sprout is a Boss-type creature and would not be easy to defeat. He retaliated using his skill, Living Root. From the ground, twisted roots quickly emerged, wrapping around Lin Yun's body like a deadly snake, the skill was so fast that there wasn't even a chance to defend himself, he could only look at his HP being slowly reduced.

The roots began to suck his HP.
Two-digit red numbers appear on top of his head every second.
"This is more difficult than the description in the tutorials. They say it only needs a lot of strength to get rid of this damn skill, but how much strength does it need???" Lin Yun felt his body being crushed by the branches, but there was no pain, just sensation.
"Even sixty-six points in the STR attribute isn't enough? That damn tutorial said that with fifty points I could escape Sprout's skill. Or is it from Little Sprout? That damn liar!!!" The young man finally realized his mistake in blindly following some stranger's tutorial.
There were intentional errors or not? Only the creator would know.
However, he experienced what it was like to be fooled by the tutorial.
"FUCK!!!! This thing doesn't break!!" Break it for me!!!" Lin Yun was very angry and tried to use the strength of his arms and legs to break the twisted branches of the Living Root skill, but it was not that easy.
The branches don't even split.
704/845
672/845
HP seemed to be drained like a waterfall, if Lin Yun didn't do anything, he would die again and lose a level, something that can be easily recovered in this basic stage of the game.
But the young man didn't want to die again and tried to continue using brute force to break the twisted branches.
"These damn things don't break" The clenched teeth almost broke, they were being pressed against each other so hard.
"Break it for me!!" He kept pushing.

The numbers continue to rise rapidly, the HP bar has already dropped by more than half.
In his desperate screams, something surprising happened.
