Wu Yan finally managed to increase his Physical Anti-armor Damage to 100%. That talent did not make things difficult for him, such as getting stuck at 99% of the advancement.
However, it could not be increased any further after reaching 100%.
In his interface, the skill was locked. It seemed like it required special materials or quests to unlock a higher level of Physical Anti-armor Damage.
A 100% Physical Anti-armor Damage was actually not considered enough for a Mage.
With the same equipment, a Mage's HP would be about the same as an Assassin's HP or might have slightly even more.
However, if he were to encounter Warriors with a lot of HP, it would be difficult to deal with them.
That was especially so for those who had advanced to the Knight class from the Warrior class in the later stage. Their HP would only be even more terrifying.
Just then, he opened the Players-by-Batch Ranking List. Heaven Punisher Mars and Hidden Killer had both reached LV9.
And it was announced just now that the two of them had taken down a Special Dungeon in the Beginners' Zone, the Magical Frog Boss.
They had also been rewarded with 10% of the Bounce attribute.
The Bounce attribute was not classified under the main attributes in the game. It was classified as a special attribute and would play a huge role in some special activities or Dungeons.
And naturally, in the liberalized world, such special attributes also brought more experiences to the gameplay.
Magical Frog Dungeon?
Wu Yan muttered. Since he already knew of such a Special Dungeon, he would definitely try it.
As he thought about that, the avatar in his Friends' List moved.
It was the Heaven Punisher Mars. To be honest, Wu Yan had a pretty good impression of him.
At least from the start, he had been rather considerate in how he treated a stranger.
The message sent stated, "Brother, I'm really sorry. This Dungeon only allows a maximum of two people to enter, and each person can only enter once, so I can't bring you along."
"If you want to challenge it, you must wait for a reliable partner. This 10% Bounce attribute bonus will be useful in the future."
Wu Yan was quite grateful when he saw those messages. After all, they had only met once.
Perhaps, he had some sympathy for him for training as a Mage?
Because in the short time that Wu Yan had entered the game, he could see all sorts of complaints from people who had chosen the Mage class in the channel every day, that they were defeated badly by other Physical-type classes at the later stage.
They could not find anyone even if they wanted to form a party or clear a Party Dungeon.
Then, the most commonly seen would be them not playing as Mages anymore, and then deleting their accounts angrily.
After Wu Yan had reached LV7, he also indeed discovered that problem.
His casting speed was slow, and his movements were also stiff.
That meant that when you just cast a spell, you would be unable to move for a fraction of a second. If that were a battle between pros, it would be a fatal damage.
He also found a slight delay in his movement, which meant that the familiar ping value was too high sometimes during normal occasions.
The game creator had seemed to maliciously make things difficult for Mages, discouraging people from playing that class.
However, with Wu Yan's standard, he could still overcome most of the difficulties for now. After all, he had never met any opponent in the previous games where he played as a Mage.
Even in the few MOBA games commonly seen back then, he was also known as God Forever when he played as a Mage, just that he had never shown his real self in public before.
Wu Yan contemplated and replied with a 'thank you'.
----------------------
"What did he say?" The assassin, Hidden Killer, couldn't help but ask with concern even though he said he had no interest in Wu Yan.
Heaven Punisher Mars looked at him strangely. "Aren't you uninterested in him?"
"I just want to know what that idiot will think after choosing to become a Mage."
Hidden Killer snorted.
Wu Yan's ID was Wandering. He checked the Level Ranking List and said, "His current level is only 7. Did he meet your expectations?"
The two of them were held up after all as they were clearing the Magical Frog Dungeon.
If Wandering were really, like what Heaven Punisher Mars had said, to have the potential to play as a Mage, how could he not catch up to them in the early stage?
After all, after leaving the Beginners' Village, those monsters would become more and more unfriendly to Mages.
Because the monsters at the later stage moved fast, it would be easy for Mages to miss if their chanting speed was slightly slower.
Heaven Punisher Mars did not say anything. He looked at the 'thank you' that Wu Yan sent him. He did not know why, at first glance, he had felt that Wu Yan was different from the rest.
Looking at Wu Yan, it was evident that he had prepared some strategies. Moreover, it did not seem like he asked about the Hedgehog Bug for no reason.
It was indeed a rather good choice for a Mage to kill the Hedgehog Bug in the early stage of the game. Because the Hedgehog Bug had Anti-physical Damage, it would be tough for Physical-type classes like them to farm it.
If Wu Yan had good Mage skills, it would be very easy for him to surpass their levels when hunting the Hedgehog Bugs.
Why was it that he was still at LV7? Even Heaven Punisher Mars himself did not understand.
"Let's hurry up and level up to LV10."
"There are still Guild matters waiting for us to handle later."
The Heaven Punisher Mars planned to put aside Wu Yan's matter first. If Wu Yan really had the power, he had a hunch that they would meet again soon.
----------------------
After Wu Yan replied to the message, he prepared to return to the Beginners' Village to check if there were any other quests he could do.
His level was indeed falling a little behind, but he was not anxious.
In a game that maliciously targeted Mages, to have the Physical Anti-armor Damage stacked to 100% was an important guarantee to protect his growth.
No matter what game it was, playing Mages had an important prerequisite, which was to deal damage at a safe location.
Otherwise, no matter how strong your damage output was, it would be utterly useless if you could not do it at a safe location.
Just as he was about to leave the Hedgehog Bugs' gathering ground, the cave began to rumble.
"What is this?"
Wu Yan was a little puzzled. Then he realized that there was a new notification in his Information Bar.
[As Player 'Wandering' has killed 1,000 Hedgehog Bugs, causing the extinction of the species, he has triggered the fury of the King Hedgehog Demonic Bug Dungeon.]

[Time starts!]
