Chapter 6 Hunt professionals, monsters evolve!
All professionals in the Silvermoon City camp received the news.
"Y035622? Isn't that the professional who refused Luo Ge's invitation?"
"Damn, is he that strong?!"
The players of the Star Squad were full of consternation, all eyes turning to their captain.
Luo Jun was also a bit surprised. "Killing 12 people in a short time means the professional named 'Eternal Night' must have a high-level talent!"
"Why didn't I insist on inviting him to join the team?" Luo Jun sighed. Guild promotion required completing system tasks, which involved killing monsters and collecting designated items in various worlds. Low-level but powerful professionals like Lin Kong were key targets for recruitment.
"We'll have to invite him next time we meet," Luo Jun decided. Turning to his team, he said, "Don't just stand there. Keep killing monsters. Once you reach level 5, we'll head to Silvermoon City for hidden missions."
"Alright!" The players responded enthusiastically. They had joined the guild for teammates and the guild's benefits.
...
Meanwhile, Lin Kong continued his journey toward the lizardmen's outpost, killing hundreds of gray-sideburned wild boars using Fragrant Flowers.
[You reach level 3 and gain 1 free attribute point.]
[When you reach level 4, you gain 1 free attribute point.]
With ample experience, Lin Kong leveled up twice. He increased his agility by 4 points and other attributes by 2 points each, dividing them equally between strength and agility.
Physical Attack: 76
Attack Speed: 3.05/s
After hours of fighting, Lin Kong paused to rest. He was now only 2 kilometers from the Lizardman Post. Sitting down, he reviewed his haul.
He had collected 85 reward chests, 263 planar coins, and 125 pieces of D-tier equipment, along with 11 [Charge] skill books. The gray-eyed wild boar had the highest skill drop rate in Silvermoon World.
Lin Kong activated the [Arrows Carry the Path] talent and devoured the skill books.
[Ding, your archery gains effect 3: After attacking, movement speed +12%, attack distance +6, bonus cleared after leaving combat.]
Attack range: 42.5 → 48
Satisfied, he checked his arrow supply. He had only a few dozen left in his backpack.
"The Lizardman Outpost will be a tough battle. I need to stock up," Lin Kong thought. He began using [Iron Arrow Manufacturing] to make arrows, one per second, consuming 380 mana to make 380 arrows. When his mana was exhausted, he drank a blue potion.
[Hint: Your "Iron Arrow Manufacturing" level has been raised to LV3, effect: consume 3 mana to create 3 iron arrows...]
The manufacturing efficiency increased by 300%, still with a 1-second cooldown. Lin Kong's arrow reserve reached 1,200.
"There's a human here!" Suddenly, three rival camp professionals appeared. Three fireballs flew at Lin Kong, who quickly dodged behind a tree. The trunk was scorched black.
"Another group of dead men," Lin Kong muttered, attacking immediately.
Precision Shot!
Regular shot!
...
He fired four arrows, hitting one enemy in the heart.
[Hint: Your "Precision Shot" hits the vital position...]
-160!
-132!
...
All weak point damage. The enemy collapsed, and Lin Kong finished the remaining two enemies, hitting them critically.
[Hint: You kill the professional "N032532", Silvermoon City camp points +1.]
A treasure chest appeared on the corpse.
"What a lot of damage!" The other two enemies were stunned.
They had kicked the iron plate.
Bang!
The mage summoned a fireball, which split into two due to the [Multiple Flames] talent, hitting Lin Kong together.
Red damage: -80! -40! -40!
Lin Kong's HP was 1,440 due to effect 4, and the enemy's attack barely affected him.
"So tough!" The mage's face changed as Lin Kong's arrows downed him instantly.
Lin Kong then killed the last enemy with a precise shot and a basic attack.
[Hint: Your "Precision Shot" level has been raised to LV2, effect: consume 6 mana, accuracy +6, launch 1 arrow causing [20 + physical attack x120%] physical damage to the enemy.]
[Number of kills this game: 22.]
[Silver Moon City faction points: 3968.]
With 22 kills, Lin Kong was assured a high rating for this world. Reaching 50 and 100 kills would earn special rewards.
"I have to keep pushing," Lin Kong thought.
In this game area, over 100,000 professionals from both camps fought fiercely. Only one side could win. Losing the novice world resulted in a 7-day lifespan reduction and a 7-day ban from entering "The Heavens."
"Silvermoon City has the upper hand. If this holds, we'll win," Lin Kong concluded. "Let's see what I got."
He opened three professional treasure chests.
[Ding! You get items: "Planar Coin x80", "Dragon's Breath Grass·C Tier" x5,...]
As professionals leveled up, the items they carried increased. Dragon's Breath Grass was among the loot.
"Dragon's Breath Grass?" Lin Kong was surprised. In a dream, he saw a professional use it to attract powerful monsters. This could verify his dream's authenticity.
He checked the map, locating the coordinates.
"The monster habitat is nearby!"
He decided to go. Killing powerful monsters improved the clearance score, which benefited future development.
Lin Kong advanced for over an hour, reaching a valley entrance. The closer he got to the outpost, the more enemies he encountered. His high burst damage allowed him to kill professionals of the same level unless their defense and HP were particularly high.
Due to his movement speed bonus, enemies couldn't catch him. They were frustrated.
"Why is his attack range so large?" the enemies despaired. Lin Kong didn't love fighting. He ignored treasure chests, focusing on headcount.
28 kills! 29 kills! 30 kills! ...
Eventually, his count reached 40. With 10 more kills, he would get the first stage reward. Nearby enemies began huddling together, and Lin Kong gave up the hunt. He arrived at the powerful monster's sparsely populated area.
Entering the valley, Lin Kong took out five Dragon's Breath Grasses, threw them on the ground, and hid in the woods, using props to eliminate his scent.
Gollum~~
A behemoth appeared—a giant wild boar with bulging muscles and terrifying fangs. It looked around, finding nothing unusual, and began devouring the Dragon's Breath Grass.
Roar!
It roared, the pale yellow radiance enveloping it, and its body began expanding.
"Evolution? Wait... I used all the Dragon's Breath Grass," Lin Kong realized. In the dream, the professional had used only one as bait. He had used five!
