Chapter 7

But the next moment...

The Fireball spell flew directly toward the spot where she had dodged.

Seeing this, the woman’s eyes turned instantly cold.

This person’s prediction... was so strong!

By the time she realized this, the Fireball had already landed; there was no time to dodge at all.

However...

The woman was not worried in the slightest. She instantly raised her hands in front of her face, setting up a blocking stance, attempting to mitigate the damage from the Fireball.

A Mage’s basic Fireball did not deal high damage.

If she could block the opponent’s attack, she would have a chance to escape...

Just as the woman thought of this, Qin Feng’s Fireball landed instantly.

"BOOM!!!"

-200157

The fireball exploded...

The woman was instantly killed in one hit, turning into a corpse lying on the ground.

"Notification: You have been killed by player [Lord Yongye (Huaxia Region)], Level -1."

Hearing the system notification sound in her ears... Liu Liu Zijin’s soul floated in the air, staring blankly at her own corpse, unable to snap out of it for a long time.

200,000 damage, she hadn't misread that, had she?!

How could any player possibly deal such high damage?

This was just... just too unscientific?!

If this were any other game, she would definitely suspect that Qin Feng was cheating.

But all humans had entered the game in their true physical forms; there was no possibility of cheating at all.

Therefore...

It must be a talent!

Liu Liu Zijin had drawn an S-rank talent—Critical Damage +300%!

So she was certain...

Qin Feng’s talent rank must be even higher than hers, perhaps even the highest SSS-rank talent!

Thinking of this, Liu Liu Zijin felt some regret.

She shouldn't have been so greedy, trying to take a risk to kill someone and loot their items.

However...

Everything was already decided. Liu Liu Zijin didn't say anything more, took one last look at Qin Feng, and chose to return to the city to respawn.

Seeing the soul form before him disappear, Qin Feng picked up the items the opponent had dropped.

"Notification: You have obtained [Copper Coin] *23."

"This person is too poor..." Qin Feng muttered.

23 copper coins.

It wasn't even worth as much as Qin Feng grinding a few more monsters.

After expressing his disdain, Qin Feng turned around and walked quickly toward the golden light orb.

Subsequently... Qin Feng chose to pick up the items.

"Notification: You have obtained [Aoror Ring (Gold)]."

After sweeping up the other scattered items on the ground, Qin Feng opened his backpack to examine the ring he had just picked up.

[Aoror Ring (Gold)]

Level: 10

Grade: Gold

Slot: Ring

Equipment Defense: 200-229

Equipment Bonus Effects:

1. Intelligence +100.

2. Restores 20 Mana (MP) per second.

3. When an attack hits a target, there is a 10% chance to trigger [Arcane Critical], dealing double critical damage.

Durability: 500/500

Description: A ring lost by Aoror, containing powerful petrification arcane energy within...

Qin Feng nodded with satisfaction as he looked at the ring.

Although the Lord Boss was only Silver-grade...

There was a certain chance for dropped items to be Gold-grade.

This chance was quite high during a first kill.

The ring added 100 Intelligence and restored 20 Mana (MP) per second.

These two effects were somewhat average, and Qin Feng didn't lack them.

But the third effect...

When an attack hits a target, there is a 10% chance to trigger [Arcane Critical], dealing double critical damage.

This effect was very strong.

Although the chance was a bit low, once it triggered, Qin Feng’s damage could increase from 200,000+ to 400,000+.

It was still very strong.

This wasn't a loss.

However...

Qin Feng’s current level was not high enough to wear this ring.

So for the time being, the ring could only stay in his backpack until he reached level 10.

At this moment...

Qin Feng closed his backpack panel and looked up at the Nether Cave before him.

The Lord Boss had been killed by Qin Feng, but the other Nether Spiders should have respawned.

And as it happened, Qin Feng’s quest was not yet complete.

So he still needed to continue grinding for Soul Crystals.

Thinking of this, Qin Feng ran directly toward the other spider nests and began grinding for Soul Crystals.

————————————————————————————————————————————

Less than ten minutes later.

Inside the dark cave...

A Fireball spell landed instantly on a Nether Spider.

"BOOM!!!"

-200210

The terrifying damage instantly killed the Nether Spider before him.

And at this moment...

A golden light descended, instantly illuminating Qin Feng’s figure.

At the same time, a series of system notifications rang out.

"Notification: Your level has increased. Current level: Lv10."

"Notification: You have gained 10 free attribute points."

"Notification: You have reached the class advancement level. Please go to the Novice Village Chief to receive your certificate and head to the Main City to complete your class advancement!"

Simultaneously, all players currently online received a world announcement.

"World Announcement: Congratulations to player [Lord Yongye (Huaxia Region)] for being the first to reach level 10, obtaining the [Guide (Unique)] title, and a special reward of Luck +10."

Seeing this announcement, the World Channel instantly exploded.

"Level 10? I’ve only reached level 4 since the server opened. What kind of monster is this Lord Yongye!"

"The big shot is too strong??? How did he level up? So fast? Is he cheating?"

"Big shot, please carry me! I want to hug your thigh!"

"Post a guide, big shot... wuwuwu, I’m only level 2, it’s too hard..."

"It’s impossible for a normal person to reach level 10 in a single day, fight me on this!"

Hearing this series of notifications and the spam from players on the World Channel...

Qin Feng smiled slightly and ignored it.

This time, Qin Feng had obtained quite a few rewards.

Including the Luck bonus and the title, these were all very rare rewards.

After seeing these rewards...

Qin Feng took a deep breath and quickly added all his free attribute points into Intelligence.

After doing this, Qin Feng walked to the side of the Nether Spider’s corpse and picked up the items it had dropped.

"Notification: You have obtained [Copper Coin] *7."

"Notification: You have obtained [Soul Crystal] *2."

"Notification: Your quest is complete. Please return to the Novice Village to submit the quest and claim your rewards!"

"Finally finished." Qin Feng let out a sigh of relief.

After grinding Nether Spiders for half an hour, Qin Feng had finally collected the last two Soul Crystals.

Must say...

The drop rate for Soul Crystals was truly low.

Qin Feng had reached level 10, and only then had he managed to get 100 Soul Crystals.

However...

Regardless of whether the drop rate was low or not, the quest was finished.

And after reaching level 10 and completing the quest, Qin Feng could finally use the equipment in his backpack.

Consequently...

Qin Feng equipped all the gear from his backpack.

After doing this, Qin Feng looked at the Guide title he had obtained.

At this moment, he opened his personal panel.

On the personal panel, a golden [Guide (Unique)] title was shining brightly.

[Guide (Unique)] (Effect: When the player forms a party as the leader, each additional party member increases experience gain by 50%.)

Titles in the Era of Gods all had special effects.

And the effect of the title Qin Feng obtained was that for every additional member, Qin Feng’s experience gain increased by 50%.

In this way, a party could have up to 5 people, meaning a 200% experience bonus.

This bonus, combined with Qin Feng’s 60x experience buff... was quite sweet.

Furthermore...

Qin Feng was planning to run a dungeon next, which was a five-person dungeon, perfect for utilizing this title’s bonus.

Thinking of this...

Qin Feng closed the title panel and quickly ran toward the Novice Village.

The quest was complete, so there was naturally no reason to stay here any longer.

He would turn in the quest first and get the area-of-effect spell.

Ten minutes later.

Qin Feng successfully found Rode in the Novice Village.

Rode was as cold and aloof as before. Seeing Qin Feng, he said indifferently: "100 Soul Crystals, did you find them?"

Qin Feng nodded.

"Of course."

Rode’s eyes lit up suddenly, and he reached out his hand, looking anxious: "Where are they? Give them to me quickly!"

At the same time, a system notification popped up before Qin Feng.

"Notification: Do you want to hand over 100 Soul Crystals to Rode? Complete the quest and claim the rewards?"

"Here."

Qin Feng handed a heavy bag to Rode.

This was a unique way of turning in quests in the Era of Gods.

Rode quickly took the bag, opened it, and began to count carefully.

After confirming the count was correct...

He closed the bag and looked at Qin Feng with satisfaction: "Warrior, this is your reward. Take it."

As he finished speaking, Rode took a treasure chest from behind him and handed it directly to Qin Feng.

After Qin Feng took the chest, it instantly opened and dissipated into golden light.

At the same time, a series of system notifications rang out.

"Notification: Congratulations on completing the hidden quest [Finding Soul Crystals (Unique)]. You have received quest rewards: Silver Coin *10, Experience +10,000, [Sky-Falling Frost Skill Book] *1."

"Notification: Your level has reached a bottleneck. Excess experience has been stored in the experience pool. Please note! Current experience pool capacity: 130,000/100,000,000."

After obtaining the quest rewards, Qin Feng opened his backpack and looked at the skill book he had just received.

[Sky-Falling Frost Skill Book]

Level: 1

Effect after learning: Summons frost in a small area (5x5), dealing 65% Ice-type magic damage to enemies within the Spell Range, with a [Slow] effect. The skill lasts for 5 seconds.

Restrictions:

1. Mage class can learn.

2. Intelligence must be above 500 points.

Description: A special Ice-type area-of-effect spell written by Rode...

65% area-of-effect damage.

Although 35% of the damage was cut...

It was an area-of-effect skill...

It was still very strong.

Combined with Qin Feng’s 200,000+ high damage, the output would still be terrifying.

Thinking of this, Qin Feng chose to learn it without hesitation.

The next moment...

A system notification sound rang out immediately.

"Notification: You have successfully learned the skill [Lv1 Sky-Falling Frost]."
