It took a few minutes for Lui Xiang to collect the materials.
[Hint: Your "Gathering" level has been raised to LV5...]
Acquisition technology had been a required course.
Before he awakened his profession, the gathering level had already reached the peak of level 4.
"Good harvest," he muttered.
Looking at the items in his backpack, Lui Xiang felt very satisfied.
Then, he devoured the [Charge] skill book with his talent.
[Ding, your archery gained Effect 3: After attacking, movement speed +1%, attack distance +0.5, bonus is cleared after leaving combat.]
The bonus provided by the D-tier skill book wasn't high.
The advantage was that the data could stack.
Bang bang—
More than a dozen gray-sideburned wild boars came one after another. As soon as they showed their heads, Lui Xiang was already holding the Blood Tooth Longbow and began shooting without hesitation.
Boo, Boo, Boo!
One arrow after another flew into the wild boars' eyes.
-134!
-181! (crit)
-86!
...
Lui Xiang stepped back while shooting arrows. The wild boars were killed by his attacks before they could get close.
[Ding! You killed the gray-sideburned boar and gained: 4 experience points.]
[Ding...]
After killing five wild boars, Lui Xiang retreated beneath a tree.
He decisively retracted his bow, reached out, and grabbed the tree trunk to climb up.
Bang bang! !
The herd of wild boars slammed into the tree trunk.
He remained unharmed.
This monster-hunting method had been tried and tested.
Lui Xiang attacked from top to bottom, easily killing the twelfth boar, and his experience points finally met the upgrade requirement.
[You reached level 2 and gained 1 free attribute point.]
After thinking for a moment, Lui Xiang added the point to Strength.
Physical Attack: 66
Attack Distance: 21.2
Attack Speed: 2.51/s
...
Adding one point to Agility only increased his attack speed by 0.1/s.
The efficiency was too low.
Lui Xiang looked at the wild boar corpses and reached out to pick up two reward chests.
Click—
The sound of branches breaking.
He immediately looked up and spotted a group of pigman professionals.
"Professionals from the hostile faction?"
The corners of Lui Xiang's mouth twitched slightly.
This was a great opportunity to earn points!
Professionals from opposing camps were mortal enemies. Killing the enemy increased clearance scores.
In an instant, the Blood Moon Longbow appeared in his hand.
"A mere level 2 professional dares provoke us? He must have a death wish!"
"Human, do you feel despair?"
The pigman professionals laughed wantonly.
They drew their weapons, spread out, and blocked all the exits.
The enemies were numerous and well-equipped.
In comparison, Lui Xiang looked very shabby.
He didn't care.
Lui Xiang's eyes swept quickly over the configuration of the pigman team.
8 melee, 3 ranged, 1 support.
Most were level 2, with HP ranging from 600 to 900.
This battle was winnable!
Lui Xiang immediately nocked an arrow and launched a fierce attack.
Precision Shot!
Normal Attack!
Normal Attack!
Three arrows flew in a straight line and pierced the support pigman's chest.
Slash—
Blood spurted out.
-323!
-270!
-270!
[Hint: You killed professional "N031258". Silvermoon City camp points +1.]
The support pigman collapsed.
The surrounding pigmen hadn't reacted yet.
"My God! Dorus is down?!!"
"That damage is insane! Does he have an S-level talent?"
Their eyes were full of shock.
Lui Xiang's damage could instantly kill any one of them.
"This..."
Their arrogance shattered in an instant.
Simply put, they were terrified.
Hesitation was fatal in a life-and-death fight.
Lui Xiang seized the moment and retreated through a gap while continuing to shoot.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...
His tactic was simple.
Take out the support first, then the ranged. The rest—the melee—were just prey to be slaughtered.
Within seconds, Lui Xiang eliminated two ranged pigmen.
"Kill him! It's our only chance!"
The enemy leader roared in rage.
In terms of speed, they couldn't keep up with Lui Xiang.
If they ran, they'd just be targets.
Better to fight to the death.
"Kill!"
The pigman professionals charged desperately.
-266!
-116!
-166…
[Hint: You killed professional "N031256". Silvermoon City camp points +1.]
[Hint: …]
The system notifications rang out.
Using kite-fighting tactics, Lui Xiang shot down the enemies at range.
But eventually, one of the pigmen stepped over his companion's corpse and reached him.
"Die!"
The enemy raised a round shield and smashed it forward.
Shield Strike!
Lui Xiang instinctively held the bow handle with both hands, raised it in front of him, and blocked the strike.
Bang!
The longbow rebounded with tremendous force. He was thrown backward and crashed into the ground.
-45!
-15! (fall damage)
Lui Xiang didn't take damage from other attacks. He got up instantly and shot several arrows into the last enemy's head, taking him out.
[Enemies killed this session: 12.]
[Silvermoon City faction points: 2582.]
He looked around—corpses littered the ground.
At that moment, a treasure chest appeared on each corpse.
Killing an enemy professional guaranteed a profession chest drop.
He could also loot the backpacks of the deceased.
"Hope there's something good."
Lui Xiang opened all 12 professional treasure chests in one go.
[Ding! You received: "Planar Coin x85", "Low-level Constitution Enhancement · D Rank" x3, "Acupuncture Ring"...]
He got a total of 9 equipment pieces.
Only one was C-rank.
[Sensitive Strike Ring]
Quality: C
Level: 2
Bonus: Attack +2, Strength +1, Agility +3
Special Effect: Attack Speed +3%
Class: General
He equipped the ring directly.
Attack Speed: 2.51 → 2.77
Next was physical enhancement—a general skill.
Lui Xiang learned it from the skill book.
[Ding, you learned skill: Low-level Physical Enhancement · Passive, effect: increase physical fitness by 10.]
"I wonder what happens if I devour a passive skill book?"
Lui Xiang consumed the other two skill books.
[Ding, your archery gained Effect 4: After killing an enemy, physique permanently increases by 1, up to 20.]
His eyes lit up.
That was amazing!
It was like learning two more physical enhancements.
"In the last battle, I lost 95 HP in total."
"Better drink some recovery potions to top off."
Kaijiao Forest was the border between Silvermoon City and the Lizard Tribe. There were many enemy players inside. To avoid trouble, Lui Xiang used two health potions.
After 10 seconds, his HP bar was full again.
Caution never hurt anyone.
Closing the panel, he headed deeper into the forest, repeating his strategy.
Using [Fragrant Flower], he lured more gray-tempered wild boars.
In the forest, it was a classic case of waiting for prey to arrive.
Lui Xiang never tired of killing monsters.
He didn't open any of the treasure chests he obtained along the way—they were all being saved.
...
Elsewhere in the forest near Lui Xiang.
The Stars Guild team was also hunting monsters, using a similar tactic to lure and kill.
Suddenly, system messages popped up one after another.
[Hint: Professional Y035622 from your camp killed a player from the enemy camp.]
[…]
They were all kill messages—by Lui Xiang.
Silvermoon City professionals were all left speechless.
