Chapter 4: S-Rank Skill Crystal! A Legendary Archer from a Past Life!
In Beginner Village #748, Feng Xuening and her best friend are just coasting along in the team.
Upon noticing that she kept glancing at Huangfu Mochen in front of her, her best friend couldn't help but think of Ye Xuan, her childhood sweetheart who had been pursuing her for many years.
"It's your birthday today, why aren't you logging off yet? Ye Xuan's probably already planning a surprise for our school."
Watching Huangfu Mochen's heroic figure slaying monsters, Feng Xuening was mesmerized. Suddenly, upon hearing Ye Xuan's name, she instinctively frowned and looked at her best friend with considerable dissatisfaction.
"Whatever, let him wait. It's not like it's the first time."
Every year on her birthday, Ye Xuan would come to be with her, even if he was at work.
"That's not good. He cares about you so much, he gives you whatever you want."
"What's wrong with that? Without my parents' support, could he, an orphan, have grown up like this?"
"Besides, I don't want to see him at all, he's always clinging to me like a leech..."
Feng Xuening lowered her voice quietly, afraid that Huangfu Mochen in front of her would hear her.
"Which of those junks he gave me that I didn't throw away? Besides, now that the game is here, he's a coward who doesn't even dare to fight; he probably doesn't even dare to leave the starting village."
He stole another glance at Huangfu Mochen, and his disgust for Ye Xuan grew even stronger.
"Look at Senior Mo Chen, he casually gathers so many people to help kill monsters, and he's even awakened an S-rank talent. It's so great to follow him."
"As for that good-for-nothing Ye Xuan, let him wait. He's willing to do it anyway."
Seeing that Feng Xuening was getting increasingly impatient, her best friend wisely shut her mouth.
It was just like that in the previous life; even though Feng Xuening was late, Ye Xuan didn't utter a single complaint.
Not only did he wait a whole day for nothing, but he was also publicly humiliated by Feng Xuening again because of the gift, which made him lose face completely.
This also caused Ye Xuan to miss the best time to develop his character. By the time he logged back in, the difficulty of killing monsters had doubled.
However, the Ye Xuan of today is not the Ye Xuan she knew; he is now immersed in the pleasure of plunder.
With the equipment, the lush jungle has become his hunting ground, and the skills he honed in his previous life allow him to thrive.
The most abundant creatures here are various insect monsters; their attributes are not strong, but their talents are extremely useful.
For example, the leap enhancement talent I just plundered makes it quite easy to jump three to five meters high with just a little effort!
Moreover, the projectile speed is extremely fast, which can be used to dodge many fatal attacks. After jumping to a high place, you can also use the terrain advantage to challenge some monsters that cannot be defeated on the ground.
Just like now, Ye Xuan lightly jumped, dodging the Black Widow's silk thread attack, and arrived on the tree trunk, which was 7 or 8 meters high.
High above, Ye Xuan drew his bow and shot an arrow, a beam of black light pinning the Black Widow to the ground. After a brief twitch, Ye Xuan plundered its talent.
[Spider Detection Successful!]
Spider-Sense
[Talent Level]: D
[Description]: Within a radius of 10 meters, you can detect any slight movement of the wind or grass.
"Finally got it! This talent, combined with the viper's thermal sensing and the evasion ability brought by the enhanced jump, means that currently, practically no monster can get close to me."
While searching for skill crystals, Ye Xuan also continuously plundered talents, and those he kept were extremely useful.
[Player]: Wuxin
[Level]: Level 6
[Attack]: 580
[Legal Strength]: 20
Armor: 75
[Magic Resistance]: 5
Movement Speed: 140
[HP]: 500
[Energy]: 400
[Title]: Raider (Beginner)
[Talents]: Lucky Chance (ineffective), Neurotoxin (D-rank), Jump Enhancement (D-rank), Silencing (D-rank), Thermal Sensing (D-rank), Spider Sensing (D-rank), Super Strength (D-rank), Night Vision (D-rank)
Hunting in the lush jungle not only rapidly increased my level to 6, but also accumulated 415 talent points. Upgrading a D-level talent to C-level only requires 500 points.
"Sure enough, getting the equipment first will allow us to plunder talents more quickly!"
These monsters are not high level at the moment, and with Ye Xuan's attack power, killing them is basically a one-hit kill.
Although the talents of Plunder are all D-rank and their individual effects are not strong, once they are combined, they will produce a terrifying effect!
Moreover, duplicate talents can be converted into talent points to continue upgrading these talents until they break through their original limitations and eventually surpass the SSS level!
Ye Xuan moved silently through the jungle, quickly scanning every location.
He had been searching for quite a while, but still couldn't find the skill crystal.
"Unfortunately, no monsters in the starting village possess mental scanning abilities."
Just when he was at his wit's end, a whooshing sound rang out.
"call out!"
At this speed, the previous Ye Xuan would probably have been killed on the spot, but now the spider senses gave a warning early on.
Arrows are fast, but the jump-enhanced projectile is even faster!
He easily dodged the arrow by simply exerting a slight force to the left.
"Um?"
A deep voice came from behind, followed by the figures of a man and a woman.
The man seemed somewhat incredulous that Ye Xuan had not only dodged his arrows but also done so with such ease and comfort.
The woman beside him spoke first, "Hey! You little thief, don't you dare try to steal my treasure!"
treasure?
Ye Xuan looked ahead and saw a strange flower in the distance, about to bloom, with an orange skill crystal hidden in its transparent petals.
orange color!
It's orange!
It's important to know that in "All Beings," all treasures are categorized by color to indicate their rarity.
From lowest to highest: white, green, blue, purple, pink, orange, red, gold...
This is only the first day of the game. Forget about orange-level skills, if you even encounter a white-level skill crystal, you should be burning incense in gratitude!
An orange crystal indicates that this is an S-rank skill!
"Friend, you should understand the principle of first come, first served, right?"
After regaining his senses, the man spoke, while his bow and arrow were firmly locked onto Ye Xuan, his eyes extremely vigilant.
After all, Ye Xuan's reaction speed was truly astonishing. As the captain of the national archery team, no one had ever survived his sneak attack since the game began.
Ye Xuan's casual evasion made him have to be cautious!
"Of course I understand that, but there's also the saying 'survival of the fittest'..."
Ye Xuan had already recognized the man as Zhou Qi.
The number one archer in China today, a superhuman athlete who has won the world league championship for seven consecutive years!
In the previous game, his reputation was even greater.
A legendary archer, the nightmare of Western dragons, and a doting brother...
Although her younger sister Zhou Xiaolin is slightly less skilled, she is still one of the top archers.
The two are fought over by countless forces and are always the undisputed focus of attention on the battlefield.
Zhou Qi stepped forward. He recognized Ye Xuan as well, but he was not about to give up the treasure so easily.
"That's right, the law of the jungle is an eternal truth. How about this, I don't want to gang up on the weak, let's have a one-on-one duel, whoever wins takes the crystal."
Seeing her older brother's outburst again, Zhou Xiaolin was speechless. They clearly had the upper hand, but Zhou Qi insisted on a one-on-one fight. She had witnessed Ye Xuan's strength firsthand.
Ye Xuan glanced at the strange flower again. Before it bloomed, the contents inside could not be collected.
Moreover, Zhou Qi had a very good reputation in his previous life and was always a man of his word.
"How do we gamble?"
