Elite first kill

"The crowd is growing!"

Returning to the level 2 monster area, Su Mu noticed that more and more people had gathered there. Besides mages, there were players of other classes as well. He looked at the group of people squatting in a specific area, their faces filled with tension, and smiled slightly.

In the level 3 area, there were also more mages engaged in monster hunting. A group of mages simultaneously cast fireballs at a wild boar, instantly obliterating it. This method of monster hunting was indeed much faster.

Su Mu spotted the team he had seen in the level 2 area before. Clearly, their leveling efficiency in this newbie village was the highest.

"That guy again? Why is he here once more?"

"I guess he realized that he couldn't find any monsters outside and came here to find a team!"

"Look at him, he probably hasn't even reached level 2. Who would want him?"

"Wait, he seems to be heading deeper into the forest. He doesn't even pay attention to those level 3 monsters?"

"Could it be that he's already level 3? How is that possible?"

"No way! Even with our efficient monster killing, we're only level 2. How can he reach level 3 on his own?"

"But if he's not level 3, why would those wild monsters ignore him?"

The team of players stared at Su Mu, dumbfounded. They suddenly realized that the mage in front of them might have truly reached level 3. Especially their team leader, a mage who locked his gaze onto Su Mu's figure, his eyes deep, pondering something.

...

"Oh, my little cutie, don't run away!"

Returning to a familiar place, Su Mu began searching for the whereabouts of the white wolf. Amidst the sea of wild wolves, the appearance of the White Wolf Pup stood out. He quickly spotted it.

The pup was lazily basking in the sun under a large tree, unaware of its impending fate.

"With a thousand health points and a set of skill combinations, it's just right for me to take it down!"

Su Mu slowly approached.

When the white wolf entered his range, he began casting his skills.

"Frost Arrow!"

A frigid arrow flew toward the white wolf at an incredible speed.

-258!

As a damage number appeared, a layer of frost covered the white wolf, reducing its movement speed by fifty percent.

The slow effect would only last for three seconds. Su Mu promptly started chanting Fireball.

-344!

Another damage number emerged from the head of the White Wolf Pup.

However, the fiery attack unexpectedly caused the frost effect on the pup to disappear.

"Didn't expect that to happen."

This was something Su Mu hadn't anticipated.

Seeing the rapidly approaching white wolf, he didn't hesitate and directly used Magic Missile.

-344!

The instant skill left the White Wolf Pup with only 54 health points.

However, the white wolf's maximum health was 1000, and it hadn't reached the critical state of below 5% health. Its gaping jaws were about to bite Su Mu.

"Holy Light!"

But just before the white wolf's biting attack could hit Su Mu, another damage number, -172, appeared above its head.

The white wolf instantly fell to the ground.

[You have slain the White Wolf and gained 200 experience points.]

"Instant-cast skills are reliable after all!"

As Su Mu watched the elite monster die, he smiled. With the white wolf's running speed, he wouldn't have been able to cast the third fireball. Fortunately, he had chosen to go back to the village and learn some skills beforehand.

"I wonder what good stuff this guy can drop?"

Just as Su Mu was about to loot the light orb from the white wolf's corpse, a row of scrolling notifications appeared before his eyes.

[Congratulations to player Su Mu for successfully killing the first elite monster in God's Path. As a reward, you receive an Elite Weapon!]

[Congratulations to player Su Mu for successfully killing the first elite monster in God's Path. As a reward, you receive an Elite Weapon!]

[Congratulations to player Su Mu for successfully killing the first elite monster in God's Path. As a reward, you receive an Elite Weapon!]

Three consecutive notifications, very eye-catching.

"Wow, is this for real?"

Su Mu placed his hand on the white light, and immediately, information about an equipment piece appeared before him.

[Elite Staff (A-grade): Attack +20, Intelligence +25, Equipment Level: Level 4]

"This!"

The attributes of this staff stunned Su Mu. A level 4 weapon with a whopping 25 points of intelligence, truly worthy of its A-grade quality! Anyone wielding this weapon would be like changing from a peashooter to a cannon!

...

"Damn, isn't this weapon too OP?"

"Not to mention the 25 points of intelligence, even 20 points of attack is insane!"

"Who is this Su Mu? I've never heard of such a gaming expert in the gaming community!"

"Gaming community? We have plenty of hidden talents in Xia Country. Su Mu is awesome!"

"Su Mu, private message me. I'm willing to offer one billion for your Elite Weapon!"

"One billion? The Ma family in H City is willing to offer fifty billion!"

"The Qin family in Mo City is willing to offer ten billion, and it will be transferred on the same day, no empty promises!"

"This is madness, pure madness! Everyone's gone crazy!"

On the world channel, everyone's attention was focused on that Elite Weapon, to the extent that many people overlooked how Su Mu had managed to kill the elite monster.

...

"Su Mu? Just a mere person from Huaguo, how can he steal the limelight from our Sakura Country? Unforgivable, baka!"

"What the fuck? Damn Huaguo person, we can't let him affect our dominant position in Beautiful Country. We must obtain that weapon, no matter the cost!"

"Su Mu? Su Oppa, you're actually one of us in Dahan Country. This can be traced back to your ancestors. Come back to the embrace of our great Dahan Country."

"Block private messages!"

In just a few seconds, Su Mu's private chat channel exploded with all sorts of chaotic messages, and he had to block all of them.

"With this weapon, I'm practically soaring!"

Before blocking private messages, Su Mu vaguely saw offers in the tens of billions and even hundreds of billions, but he wasn't moved in the slightest.

[You have obtained 50 silver coins.]

[You have obtained a white wolf fur.]

[You have completed the Guard Captain's quest!]

"I'll turn in the quest later. Let's level up first!"

Equipping the weapon, Su Mu's spell attack directly increased to 130 points!

This meant that his Fireball spell would deal a whopping 520 points of damage.

Su Mu passed through the level 4 monster area, and many level 5 wild wolves appeared before him.

[Wild Wolf]

Level: 5

Health: 500/500

Attack: 100

Defense: 20

The level 5 monsters had a health pool of 500 points, but in front of Su Mu, one Fireball could instantly kill them!

As a mage, Su Mu's basic attack, Fireball, had no cooldown!

This meant that Su Mu could kill one level 5 wild wolf every 2 seconds.

Moreover, he could cast 30 Fireballs with a full mana pool!

"I need 800 more experience points to level up, which means I have to kill 80 wild wolves in this area. There are plenty of wild wolves here!"

With a 30-meter attack range, Su Mu could stay in an absolutely safe position. Plus, no one was competing for monsters, so he felt no pressure at all.

He aimed at a level 5 wild wolf and started chanting.

The S-grade Fireball not only dealt high damage but also had a faster casting speed. In the blink of an eye, it hit the wild wolf.

-520

The wild wolf let out a howl and fell to the ground.

Su Mu didn't rush to pick up the loot it dropped; instead, he targeted the next one.

[You have slain a Wild Wolf. You gained 10 experience points!]

[You have slain a Wild Wolf. You gained 10 experience points!]

In the depths of the forest, a slaughter unfolded...

In a certain location in China, a group of people sat around a table, clearly in a meeting.

"Who is this Su Mu? Can we find out?"

"There are hundreds of thousands of people with that name in the country. It's unlikely that we can find him!"

"Regardless, we must determine his identity. We need to ensure that the top players in ShenTu won't cause trouble in reality. That's how we can maintain stability in China!"

"Yes!"

"But overall, this is a good thing. The stronger our players from China become in ShenTu, the rest of the world won't be able to sit still!"
