Chapter 2: Normal Attack Worth Tens of Thousands

Welcome to Newbie Village No. 00000002, reach level 10 to teleport to the main city for class advancement, and enjoy your game!

A system prompt popped up, and immediately Xiao Feng saw a dense crowd.

Help! I'm being squeezed to death!!

Who touched my ass? I'm a man!!

Hey hey hey, I was going to find an NPC to take a quest, why are you shoving me out of the village… Holy shit, I got killed by a wild chicken!!

All kinds of strange noises echoed around, and the crowd's density was practically comparable to the subway during rush hour in a first-tier city.

Xiao Feng was blocked so tightly he couldn't move, making even walking difficult.

Hey brother, did the system tell you that committing suicide 100 times grants a hidden profession? Uh, maybe only I know this?" he said to the nearby player, putting on an act of being a newbie.

Hiss! There's actually such a thing!

A commotion arose around.

Immediately after, several people began using the system-given 'self-destruct' function, committing suicide on the spot.

Ah~

Uh~

Oh~

After a round of miserable screams, the surroundings cleared considerably, and finally one could walk.

As clever as me.

Xiao Feng hehehed a smile and strode toward the outside of the village.

Although NPCs can accept some quests to speed up leveling.

But there are simply too many people over there; you don't know how long it would take to squeeze in, so it's better to just go grind levels.

On the way out of the village, Xiao Feng checked his attributes.

【Name】: Xiao Feng

【Class】: Mage Apprentice

【Level】: 1

【Talent】: Divine Might (Supergod Tier)

【HP】: 108/108

【MP】: 25/25

【Magic Attack】: 2

【Physical Defense】: 2

【Magic Defense】: 1

【Strength】: 1 (affects physical attack)

【Intellect】: 1 (affects magic attack)

【Constitution】: 1 (affects HP and physical defense)

【Spirit】: 1 (affects MP and magic defense)

【Agility】: 1 (affects crit rate, archers and assassins get extra attack boost)

He has two pieces of equipment.

【Trial Staff】: Magic Attack +1

【Trial Robe】: Physical Defense +1

He then checked his skills.

A novice mage has only one basic skill, equivalent to a normal attack.

【Magic Missile】: Deals magic damage equal to 110% of attack, cooldown 2.5 seconds, no MP cost.

It can be said to be a rather useless skill.

Of course, that's for ordinary players!

My talent should also be useful for this skill, right?" Xiao Feng thought to himself.

He had already reached the village exit, but there were still a lot of people at the newbie village's exit—more wolves than meat, not enough monsters to go around.

The level-1 monster is the 'Wild Chicken', with 80 HP and low attack, but for a newcomer with only 2 attack, it still takes a while to kill one.

Of course, if the crowd gangs up, it goes much faster.

Xiao Feng spotted a freshly spawned wild chicken and threw a Magic Missile.

biu~

The missile hit the wild chicken's head.

-21997

"You defeated the wild chicken, gained 5 experience." System message.

A huge five-digit damage number popped up.

The wild chicken's head buzzed, and before it even saw the morning sun, its short life ended just like that.

Holy crap, how did this wild chicken suddenly drop dead? Who was so fierce as to insta-kill it??

Someone nearby shouted strangely.

In Myriad Heavens, non-party players cannot see how much damage others deal; they can only judge by changes in the monster's HP bar.

The wild chicken vanished at full HP, drawing the attention of a few people.

But it didn't cause much of a stir, after all everyone is someone who 'has drawn a prize', so a bit of quirky stuff isn't surprising.

Xiao Feng confirmed his skill's effect, instantly brimming with confidence, and instead of competing with everyone for the wild chicken, he headed straight for a farther location.

Outside the wild chicken area lies the territory of the level-3 monster 'Little Grass Sprite', and right now many players are teaming up to fight monsters there, making it hard to snag.

Xiao Feng continued walking and arrived at the Di Pan of the level 5 monster "Little Stone Person".

【Little Stone Person】

Level: 5

HP: 360/360

Physical Attack: 7

Physical Defense: 2

Magic Defense: 1

Skills: None

A 360‑HP small monster is already a significant pressure for ordinary players; only those who drew relatively good lottery results train here.

Xiao Feng threw a magic missile, dealing 21975 damage.

"You defeated the Little Stone Person, gaining 25 experience."

"Congratulations! Your level has risen to 2!"

One level‑5 monster plus one level‑1 monster exactly equals enough for a level‑up.

Each time a player's level increases by 1, they gain 2 attribute points, and the five basic attributes automatically increase by 1 each.

Xiao Feng put both attribute points into Intelligence, raising his Intelligence to 4 and his magic attack to 5.

He threw another magic missile.

-54987

An astonishing damage number appeared; the Little Stone Person that had been hopping about cracked open with a "Crack!", dropping two copper coins on the ground.

"Hmm, this feels not bad—2.5 seconds per monster, more cost‑effective than doing beginner quests!"

Xiao Feng beamed with joy and began his mad level‑grinding journey.

2.5 seconds per magic missile, the speed is still quite fast.

For ordinary players, this skill is just a basic attack—slow attack speed and low damage.

But with the Divine Might talent's boost, the effect becomes terrifying!

What's more, this skill consumes no mana at all!

biubiubiu~

Magic missiles flew one after another, instantly killing anyone they hit—it was like entering a realm with no monsters.

The few players nearby who saw his terrifying leveling speed couldn't help exclaiming, "Damn impressive! He must have drawn a god‑item; his attack power already exceeds 400 in the beginner village."

"Bro‑bro‑bro, can we team up to level up? I have a loli voice~"

Some even stepped forward to flirt, wanting to team up and play with him.

"Get lost! I don't like 300‑jin lolis!" Xiao Feng rudely refused, then buried his head and rushed to level up.

Soon his level rose to 3; after adding points to Intelligence, his magic attack reached 8, and a basic attack could deal over 90,000 HP.

While fighting monsters and moving forward, he unknowingly arrived at the territory of the level‑7 monster "Forest Deer".

The Forest Deer has 750 HP; even if you reach level 10, it still takes ten‑odd to twenty seconds to kill it.

But in Xiao Feng's eyes it was still as fragile as tissue paper.

At 2.5 seconds per monster plus the time spent walking to find them, on average he could dispatch a level‑7 monster every 4 seconds, taking no damage himself.

Around here, aside from him, no one else comes to train, since the chance of drawing high‑quality loot is still low; the vast majority of people are below orange (Legendary) quality.

With no one disturbing him, the leveling process grew ever more relaxed, and the experience bar shot up!

Each Forest Deer gives 55 XP; in one minute he gains over 800 XP.

At this speed, he is at least thirty times faster than an ordinary player!

In just 10 minutes, Xiao Feng reached level 6.

Although his luck wasn't great, no equipment dropped, and copper coins were scarce.

But his attack power had reached 20 points, allowing a single missile to deal 200,000 damage!

Even the level‑7 Forest Deer is no longer a match; he now wants to provoke (and suffer) higher‑level monsters!

Going forward, there was a dense forest.

There were no monsters around.

Xiao Feng thought he had taken a wrong turn, but after walking a bit farther, a pitch‑black tiger suddenly appeared in his view.

Seeing the tiger, Xiao Feng knew it was a high‑level monster and without hesitation threw a missile at it.

biu~

-218784

A terrifying damage figure appeared.

"Congratulations! You defeated the beginner‑village boss, gaining 10 prestige!"

"Congratulations! You are the first player in this war zone to defeat the beginner‑village boss, earning the honor reward—one piece of Epic Equipment!"

"You defeated the Black Stripe Tiger, gaining 3000 experience!"

"Congratulations! Your level has risen to 7!"

"War Zone Announcement: Player 'Xiao Feng' was the first to defeat the beginner‑village boss, receiving one piece of Epic Equipment!"

"War Zone Announcement……"

"War Zone Announcement……"

A series of system prompts exploded in his ears.

Xiao Feng stared, looking at the black tiger lying motionless on the ground, and blinked.

"This thing is actually a boss?"

"Tsk tsk, really can't withstand a single blow."
