On the other side of the town, in the level 9 Snow Leopard area.
-312!
A flash of sword light appeared in Dong Huang Jian's hand.
With a critical hit, the snow leopard that was fiercely pouncing in the air was cleaved in half and died on the spot.
A moment later, a golden light flashed across him.
This method of killing monsters above one's level to quickly gain cultivation was quite good, and he had finally reached level 9!
Next, he could try challenging the level 7 Wolf Boss.
It seemed like fate was on his side.
Although Lin Feng had taken his previous life's talent from the mysterious old man a step ahead, he had obtained an S-grade Sword Dao talent elsewhere.
This provided a 100% power bonus to sword skills and reduced cultivation and money consumption by 50%.
It allowed him to quickly surpass ordinary players in strength with just a single offensive sword skill.
This meant that despite being a lone wolf player, his leveling speed was no less than that of the core members of well-known major guild teams.
He was confident that with his talent, he could definitely reach the pinnacle of this game again.
Of course, except for that player who subverted his understanding, Yang Jian Qing Ming!
Sooner or later, I will catch up to his pace.
However, the smile on his face froze for only a few seconds before he saw the system announcement.
How could this be?
Level 8 Hippopotamus Boss, level 9 Boss first kill?
Besides Yang Jian Qing Ming, how could there be such a strong player in the新手城镇 (Novice Town)?
He directly ignored the possibility of this anonymous player's team being a well-known guild team.
What a joke.
Guilds needed fame in the early stages of development to attract players.
An event as high-profile as a Boss first kill, how could they choose to be anonymous?
Only a big shot like Yang Jian Qing Ming, who didn't care about fame, would possibly…
Thinking this.
He suddenly realized who this anonymous player was.
His expression instantly returned to normal, and his eyes became resolute again.
He continued to attack the remaining snow leopards in the area.
The speed of his sword seemed to have become even faster.
The great player was still far ahead, a figure he needed to look up to.
He couldn't slack off!
新手城镇 (Novice Town), respawn point.
A white light flashed.
Bo Si Mao (Persian Cat) slowly walked out.
Her breathtaking figure was no longer swaying gracefully.
Even her walk lacked her usual confidence.
Her eyes even held a hint of dejection.
A few players happened to see this scene and found it hard to believe.
Isn't that Black Widow? She actually died too?
With her strength, no player should have been able to force her to this extent. Could she have been challenging a high-level Boss alone?
That shouldn't be right. I heard she has a very powerful stealth skill. Even if she couldn't win, she should have been able to escape.
It seems she encountered a super powerful Boss. How tragic.
Normally, Bo Si Mao would have gotten angry if she heard such gossip.
But now, she was just a wounded woman.
She couldn't understand, how could there be such a huge difference between players?
Or was she just too weak?
Ding, Player [Anonymous]'s team has completed the first kill of the level 8 Hippopotamus Boss (Excellent grade), gaining 3 free attribute points.
At this moment, the continuous system announcements brought her back to her senses.
Seeing this "Anonymous," she actually smiled.
After consecutively defeating two high-level Bosses, what was there to be upset about losing to such a person?
However, when she saw her empty hands, her expression changed.
Beep beep beep!
Lin Feng's consciousness registered a system message notification.
He saw Bo Si Mao's friend request.
In the verification reply, he responded with a question mark.
[Bo Si Mao]: "Stinky man, why did you kill me?"
[Yang Jian Qing Ming]: "You stole my kill, shouldn't I?"
[Bo Si Mao]: "I was just testing the Boss's defense, you couldn't just start attacking."
Knowing she was in the wrong, her tone softened noticeably.
Lin Feng didn't reply.
Bo Si Mao sent another message.
[Bo Si Mao]: "Can you return the weapon I dropped?"
Lin Feng then noticed that at Bo Si Mao's corpse, there was a short sword glowing with a faint green light.
If she hadn't mentioned it, he would have completely ignored it.
He picked it up and found its attributes to be quite good.
[Cat's Grace]
Grade: Excellent
Type: Equipment
Slot: Main Hand
Required Level: 5
Damage +20
Agility +15
Attack Speed +25%
5% chance to ignore defense
[Silent Strike]: Consumes 20 mana, can activate an invisibility effect for 3 minutes. For every minute accumulated, damage increases by 20% upon activation.
No wonder she rushed out to snatch the kill back then. Only one of her two weapons shattered. It was an excellent grade weapon, the same tier as Lin Feng's.
The weapon's damage and attribute bonuses were quite good, no worse than Lin Feng's weapon.
Although it only had one characteristic, it was very practical.
It seemed she intended to rely on this Silent Strike characteristic to snatch the final blow on the Boss.
If it were anyone else, she would have succeeded.
High damage, stealth state.
What player could resist?
Unfortunately, she encountered Lin Feng.
Not only did she fail to snatch the Boss, but she also died once and even dropped her main weapon.
How could Lin Feng return it directly to her?
[Yang Jian Qing Ming]: "30 gold."
[Bo Si Mao]: "You're shameless, this is my stuff!"
[Yang Jian Qing Ming]: "40 gold."
[Bo Si Mao]: "Make it cheaper, please. I don't have that much money."
[Yang Jian Qing Ming]: "50 gold, special currency accepted."
[Bo Si Mao]: "You're ruthless. I'll go gather the money!"
Lin Feng raised an eyebrow.
Little brat, trying to play games with me?
After settling this matter, it was time to claim the Boss's rewards.
The dropped equipment had already been collected and would be sorted out later.
The treasure chests from the two Bosses were what he cared about most.
[Level 8 Hippopotamus Boss Treasure Chest (Excellent grade)]
Type: Treasure Chest
(This treasure chest is exclusive to player Yang Jian Qing Ming, invisible and unopenable by other players.)
Effect: Upon opening this treasure chest, you will receive 4 points of Constitution.
Remaining time: 30 minutes
[Level 9 Rhinoceros Boss Treasure Chest (Excellent grade)]
Type: Treasure Chest
(This treasure chest is exclusive to player Yang Jian Qing Ming, invisible and unopenable by other players.)
Effect: Upon opening this treasure chest, you will receive 5 points of Strength.
Remaining time: 30 minutes
What else is there to say?
Two eight-fold amplifications, let's go!
You opened the [Level 8 Hippopotamus Boss Treasure Chest (Excellent grade)] (Eightfold Amplification).
You received 44 points of Constitution.
You gained HP Auto-Recovery +1%/sec.
You obtained the Toughness Drum.
You received 3 taels of silver and 112 copper coins.
The attributes were as powerful as ever.
Among the eight-fold amplification options, he immediately chose HP auto-recovery.
Lin Feng now had a total HP recovery of 2.5%/sec.
Plus 10 HP recovery per second.
And a passive trait of 10 HP recovery upon taking damage.
The so-called "tank" players would be like toddlers in front of Lin Feng!
As for the other drops.
Although only one piece of equipment dropped, it was surprisingly something useful.
