To maximize early game profits, Lin Feng chose not to upgrade for now.
The results so far have been very significant.
Now, a level 20 monster can provide him with a 400% extra cultivation bonus.
Not to mention the huge increase in treasure chest rewards.
Otherwise, for other players, even with the same talent.
At level 20, opening a level 20 treasure chest wouldn't yield Lin Feng such a rich reward.
But it wasn't just the great benefits.
There were also drawbacks.
One was the issue of map level restrictions.
Fortunately, this had been partially resolved by increasing relevant permissions through Legend points.
The second was the problem of equipment.
Currently.
He could only try to collect weapons and equipment that reduced usage levels as much as possible.
To truly be fully equipped with his desired treasures.
He still had to rely on characteristic gems.
He hadn't yet obtained the item to synthesize characteristic gems.
Simple and advanced Simple were no longer needed.
Levelless gems had become his top priority strategic resource.
Therefore.
Although this opportunity to choose any treasure was extremely precious.
He could have obtained even more valuable treasures based on his past life experience.
But for the current moment.
He still unhesitatingly chose the Levelless Gem.
After obtaining this gem.
His reserve of Levelless Gems had reached a full three.
He also had five Super Simple Gems.
Two of these were purchased from a player he knew who specialized in mining, "Star Miner."
The first Levelless Gem he acquired was also from this player.
To be able to dig up such gems in the early game.
Whether due to sufficient manpower or sheer luck.
It was worth Lin Feng giving up a friend slot.
As for Simple Gems.
He had already acquired ten from treasure chests, Boss drops, and market purchases.
He believed that once the synthesis item arrived, these gems would play an even more important role.
After selecting the reward, the quest was also completed.
Since he wanted to experiment with immortal power and hadn't yet converted his attribute points.
The Yellow Turban Warrior he summoned was still fighting monsters outside the city and hadn't been brought along.
Watching the Boss's corpse slowly disappear, he felt a slight regret.
With such high attributes, if it were fused with a summoned creature, the improvement would surely be significant.
Fortunately, there would be many more opportunities in the future.
After completing this quest and heading to higher-level maps, his true rise would begin!
After the Boss disappeared, a portal appeared in its place.
Lin Feng walked into it.
The Magistrate was sighing, feeling a bit regretful.
Such a clever young man, why was he so stubborn?
Inside was a demon's clone.
Although only level 20, its overall attributes were far higher than those of a typical level 20 Boss.
He even suspected that a level 30 Boss might not have such attributes.
Although the quest requirement was only to survive for 10 seconds.
Not to resist.
But in such a confined space, and with the task constraints, many spells couldn't be used.
He truly didn't know how a level 0 player could survive inside for 10 seconds.
As he was thinking, he saw Lin Feng open the door and walk out.
He took a deep breath and walked towards him.
Couldn't hold on, could he?
His eyes were filled with consolation.
It's okay, other players have to wait 12 hours to re-accept failed quests, but I can make the decision for you to re-accept it in just 1 hour!
He thought this show of favor would make Lin Feng overwhelmed with gratitude.
To his surprise, Lin Feng looked astonished.
I didn't fail, the quest is done.
The Magistrate's mouth hung open.
Done?
Lin Feng nodded.
Yes, you are the quest giver, haven't you seen the result?
The Magistrate then closed his eyes slightly and perceived with his mind.
Upon opening his eyes, he tutted in admiration.
Young man, you're amazing, to be able to withstand such a powerful Boss.
He gave a thumbs-up, his eyes filled with amazement.
Even though you are only level 0, in terms of strength, you might be among the best of the异人 (Yi Ren - Otherworlders).
Lin Feng smiled.
I didn't exactly withstand it.
The Magistrate seemed to understand.
Yi Ren with such authority must have special methods.
Perhaps some high-priority invisibility spell or something similar.
He was still guessing.
When Lin Feng continued, "To hold on continuously would have been quite difficult, after all, the Boss's damage isn't low.
So, I just killed it.
It was more convenient that way.
The Magistrate's eyes widened, his voice trembling slightly.
Killed it?
You killed that monster?
Lin Feng nodded.
The Magistrate looked crestfallen, unable to believe it.
A monster of that strength, even I would avoid its sharp edge.
And you, a level 0 Yi Ren, managed to kill it?
How is this possible?
His eyes were frantic, unsure of what to do.
This is too absurd!
The purpose of this monster's existence was to make Yi Ren shed their arrogance before leaving Qingchuan City.
To let them know that even if their level reached the limit of Qingchuan City's existence, they were still far from it in terms of strength.
If this monster is killed, how can that purpose be achieved?
He paced back and forth, extremely anxious.
No, I need to go in and see.
Lin Feng reached out to stop him.
Sir, there's no need to look.
The Magistrate glared.
Are you lying to me?
Lin Feng said, "After I defeated the Boss, a prompt indicated that I would become the trialist for the new exit quest.
From now on, I will be the monster that makes players know their place.
The Magistrate was dumbfounded.
You became the monster?
No, you became the new trialist?
He quickly closed his eyes and continued to perceive with his mind.
After a moment.
He looked at Lin Feng with a strange expression.
It's actually true!
His eyes were filled with disbelief.
This completely overturns my understanding, how exactly did you deal with that monster?
Unimaginable!
Lin Feng appeared to be deep in thought.
It wasn't too complicated, I just stabbed it a few times and killed it.
The Magistrate waved his hand, looking helpless.
It seems I'm getting old, I don't understand what you're saying anymore.
Kidding.
Killed that thick-skinned, extremely resilient monster with just a few swords?
Are you some sword immortal from the upper realm who descended to earth?
Even if you were reincarnated, you couldn't have this combat power in just over a day.
He only assumed Lin Feng possessed some world-shattering treasure that allowed him to achieve such an incredible feat.
Such a treasure was beyond his reach.
So, he didn't ask any further questions.
Little did he know, Lin Feng was speaking the truth in every word.
Since Lin Feng had completed the quest, it meant he was about to leave Qingchuan City.
He took out a cherished map from a cabinet.
As the first Yi Ren to complete the quest, you can choose any city and travel there for free.
Seeing Lin Feng's apparent indifference, he continued, "For others, they can only choose from a few limited locations and have to pay for teleportation.
And it's not cheap.
Lin Feng nodded.
Money is not an issue.
Although he hadn't spent a single cent on the game,
the game wealth he possessed was unimaginable to others.
No matter how expensive teleportation was, he could afford it.
However, being able to choose any city is quite good.
After all, he was reborn.
There are some good things that are only found in certain special places.
He looked at the city names on the map, lost in memories.
