Chapter 2

After equipping the wooden staff... Qin Feng closed his backpack and ran quickly toward the potion shop in the novice village.

He still had 100 copper coins in his backpack, enough for him to buy quite a few potions.

Not long after, Qin Feng arrived at the potion shop.

Upon entering the shop, a middle-aged woman looked at Qin Feng with some enthusiasm and asked, "What kind of potion do you need? Feel free to look around... our potion prices are absolutely the cheapest! Tell me what you need!"

Qin Feng ignored the middle-aged woman and looked up at the potion counter in front of him.

At this moment... a purchase page slowly appeared before Qin Feng's eyes.

[Potion Shop]

1. [Primary Mana Recovery Potion (Black Iron)] (Price: 10 copper coins)

2. [Primary Health Recovery Potion (Black Iron)] (Price: 10 copper coins)

3. [Primary Strength Potion (Black Iron)] (Price: 10 copper coins)

4. [Primary Intelligence Potion (Black Iron)] (Price: 10 copper coins)

The novice village potion shop only sells 4 types of potions.

Qin Feng had already consumed the Primary Intelligence Potion.

And since his talent doesn't allow the same potion to trigger the effect repeatedly, there was no need to buy the Primary Intelligence Potion.

As for the other three potions, Qin Feng was definitely going to buy them.

These three potions cost 10 copper coins each, totaling 30 copper coins...

Qin Feng had 100 copper coins on him, enough to buy all three bottles, so without hesitation, Qin Feng bought all four potions.

"Ding-dong~ You spent 30 copper coins and successfully purchased [Primary Mana Recovery Potion (Black Iron)]*1, [Primary Health Recovery Potion (Black Iron)]*1, [Primary Strength Potion (Black Iron)]*1."

Three bottles of potion instantly appeared in Qin Feng's backpack.

After obtaining these three bottles, Qin Feng looked directly at the attributes of the three potions.

After scanning them a few times, Qin Feng found that the effects of these potions were quite average.

The effect of the Primary Mana Recovery Potion is to restore 10 points of mana (MP) per second for 10 seconds after consumption.

The effect of the Primary Health Recovery Potion is the same as the mana recovery potion, except the mana recovery potion restores mana (MP), while the health recovery potion restores health.

As for the final Primary Strength Potion, it's actually similar to the intelligence potion Qin Feng consumed earlier; after consumption, one gains 10 points of strength bonus, lasting for 60 seconds.

At this moment, after seeing the bonus effects of these three bottles, Qin Feng chose to use the potions without hesitation!

The moment Qin Feng used the potions, golden lights rose from his body one after another.

At the same time, several system notifications rang in Qin Feng's ears.

"Ding-dong~ You have consumed the potion [Primary Mana Recovery Potion (Black Iron)], successfully triggering the [Eternal Potion Bonus (Unique)] talent effect. The current potion's duration is increased to permanent, and the potion's effect is enhanced by 2,200 times!"

"Ding-dong~ You have consumed the potion [Primary Health Recovery Potion (Black Iron)], successfully triggering the [Eternal Potion Bonus (Unique)] talent effect. The current potion's duration is increased to permanent, and the potion's effect is enhanced by 55 times!"

"Ding-dong~ You have consumed the potion [Primary Strength Potion (Black Iron)], successfully triggering the [Eternal Potion Bonus (Unique)] talent effect. The current potion's duration is increased to permanent, and the potion's effect is enhanced by 10 times!"

At this moment... Qin Feng had triggered his talent several times in a row.

He then clicked on his status bar to take a look.

After popping the three bottles of potion, three brand-new bonus effects appeared on Qin Feng's status bar.

[Primary Mana Recovery Potion Bonus Buff]

Effect: Restore 22,000 mana (MP) per second.

Duration: Permanent

[Primary Health Recovery Potion Bonus Buff]

Effect: Restore 550 health (HP) per second.

Duration: Permanent

[Primary Strength Potion Bonus Buff]

Effect: Gain an additional 100 points of strength bonus.

Duration: Permanent

Good heavens... although the talent didn't trigger the 10,000-fold bonus, the mana recovery potion triggered a 2,200-fold bonus, directly increasing the restoration from 10 mana per second to 22,000 mana per second.

Qin Feng's profession is a Mage!

With this mana recovery... it's equivalent to having infinite mana sustain!

You have to know, the reason the Mage profession is extremely lackluster in the early game is, first, because this profession lacks area-of-effect (AOE) skills in the early stages.

Second, it's because skills consume a lot of mana; after killing a few monsters, you have to pop potions to recover mana, which is too inefficient and burns through money...

After all, a mana recovery potion costs 10 copper coins, and a player's initial 100 copper coins are only enough to buy 10 bottles.

Usually, Mage players rely on being out of combat to slowly recover mana, which is why Mage players are extremely lackluster in the early game.

But with this mana recovery skill, Qin Feng doesn't need to worry about running out of mana at all; he can just mindlessly spam skills to kill monsters!

Aside from this mana recovery bonus, the health recovery potion bonus effect is also quite good.

Restoring 550 health per second.

In the early game, players' health is basically around 100 points.

So 550 health per second is quite good.

As for the strength bonus?

Hmm... what does a Mage need strength for? Could it be... to hit people with a staff?

However, regardless of whether he needs it or not, he's popping the potion anyway; the bonus effect is there... in case he gets silenced later and can't cast skills, he can just pick up a big stick and instantly transform into a battle-mage, smashing things wildly—he'll definitely be able to stun the enemy!

After seeing the bonus effects of these potions, Qin Feng didn't stay in the potion shop for long.

After walking out of the shop, he headed straight toward a certain place in the novice village.

Qin Feng remembered... there seemed to be a hidden quest in the novice village.

And this hidden quest allows one to obtain a Mage profession AOE skill book.

In the Continent of Gods, if a Mage wants to learn an AOE skill, they must wait until level 40 and complete the fourth profession advancement before they can spend a large amount of gold and resources to learn it from a mentor.

But as long as he completes that quest, Qin Feng can learn an AOE skill directly in the early game!

AOE skills provide a huge boost to Mages.

It can be said to have perfectly increased monster-grinding efficiency by dozens of times.

And for Qin Feng, who has a 100,000-point intelligence bonus and recovers 22,000 mana per second, having an AOE skill basically means infinite skill spamming! Grinding monsters like crazy!

After Qin Feng thought of this, he soon arrived in front of a wooden house in the novice village.

The wooden house already looked extremely old.

It was covered in green moss, giving off a unique natural aura.

Qin Feng glanced at the wooden house and soon walked up to push the door open and enter.

Just after walking inside, Qin Feng saw a man wearing a mage robe standing next to a row of bookshelves.

Upon noticing Qin Feng entering, the man slowly said, "Does your lordship have any business?"

Hearing the man's words, Qin Feng glanced at the name above his head.

[Luo De (Gold-rank)]

Seeing the name and confirming that the other party was the person he was looking for, Qin Feng slowly said to Luo De, "I heard from the villagers that your lordship needs Soul Crystals?"

In his past life... the player who discovered this quest was able to accept this hidden quest from Luo De.

It was because other NPCs in the village mentioned that Luo De needed Soul Crystals.
