Chapter 5: Wind Blows Wind Chimes
After casually browsing some other posts on the forum, Zhang Shan closed the forum and decided to concentrate on killing monsters. He would soon reach level 2. With a teammate who could withstand the damage of monsters, he could level up quickly. Now he had more than 400 experience points, and he only needed to kill a dozen monsters to level up. It was a pity that they had just killed more than a hundred chickens, and no equipment dropped, only copper coins.
"Brother, how much experience do you need to level up?" Zhang Shan asked.
"I have 460 experience points now, which should be about the same as yours. We are still ten monsters away from leveling up. The equipment drop rate is really low. Both of us have high luck values. We have been fighting for so long, but not even a blank piece of equipment has dropped."
"You should be content. You already have a piece of clothing. In our Novice Village, there are probably not many people who can change into novice cloth clothes."
"Hey, you're lucky buddy. Are you going to change the map after reaching level 2? It's not challenging at all to keep fighting against the demonized chickens."
"What a challenge! I don't plan to change. I'll get to level 3 first. Hunters don't have any skills. They just rely on basic attacks. It's hard for me to kill chickens by myself, so how can I dare to look for other monsters? Unless you can handle it. Let me stand still and increase my A."
"After the upgrade, the added attributes should make it better." Qianlizoudanqi said with a comforting tone.
"For me, it's only a little bit better. I guess when I reach level 2, I can move better and I should be able to kill the chicken without any damage. At most, the monsters will hit me once or twice. I don't want to deal with level 2 monsters, unless I get some equipment. Otherwise, I won't change the map until I reach level 3."
As he spoke, a red light rose from Zhang Shan's body.
System: Congratulations to player Six-Barrel Bodhisattva for reaching level 2, skill point +1, all attributes +2, free attribute points +5.
"You've leveled up? Hey , I'm almost there too, two monsters."
Zhang Shan didn't have time to pay attention to him. There was no need to talk about skill points. He only had one skill now, and that could only be upgraded to headshot.
Skill 1, Headshot: (Passive), Level, Level 2. Each attack of the hunter has a chance to trigger the headshot effect, causing an additional 50 points of damage and stunning for 0.05 seconds, with a triggering probability of 1%.
Not bad, as expected, each level of this skill increases the triggering probability. In that case, if you max out level 10, there will be a 5% triggering probability, which is quite impressive, and it will be triggered once in twenty times.
Five free attribute points, all added to agility. His attack power is too low now, and he originally planned to play a full-agility hunter.
The full-agility hunter has obvious disadvantages and advantages. The disadvantage is that he is fragile and will basically die if someone attacks him first, unless he gets a life-saving skill in the later stage. But the advantage is also obvious, with high attack speed and high attack speed.
The attributes in the new world are introduced as follows: strength increases strength-related attack power and health points. For other professions, strength only increases health points. Agility increases agility-related attack power, attack speed, and movement speed. For other professions, agility also only increases attack speed and movement speed. The same goes for intelligence, which increases magic points, and only intelligence types increase attacks.
As for the exact effect of the attribute increase, no one knows yet. The operator has not announced the increase mechanism, and it is unknown what formula is used to calculate it.
Strength and intelligence increase health and mana quite obviously, you can see it at a glance, but agility is said to increase attack speed and movement speed, but the effect is completely invisible now, at least Zhang Shan didn't feel it. It should be because the agility attribute is too small, so the added attack speed is negligible and can't be felt.
Maybe it will be reflected in the later stages. In fact, this is reasonable, after all, attack speed is also a factor in output. If agility increases attack speed significantly, other professions will be out of play.

Twenty attack points. It's easy to hit the demonized chicken, five hits at most, and if you trigger a headshot, three hits will do it.
I looked at the experience bar, 5/1000, it takes a thousand experience points to upgrade from level 2 to level 3. If one person goes alone, he needs to kill two hundred demonized chickens.
"Haha, I've leveled up, brother Liuguan. I'll go find where the level 2 monster is and see if there's any that's easy to beat. If I can, I'll call you." Qianlizoudanqi also leveled up to level 2.
"Okay, I'll find out if you can hold on to the monsters. Otherwise, you'll have to sit there all the time, which is too inefficient."
"I understand. I have 200 HP now and 12 defense points. It should be no problem for me to beat a level 2 monster. Even if the monster's attack reaches 20, it will only deduct a few points of HP from me. Don't panic. I'll go find the monster first." After saying that, he ran away.
OK
In the map of the new world, only the places the characters have been to will light up. Now they have only spawned chickens, and have no idea about the distribution of other monsters. There are monster distribution maps of the novice village posted by thieves on the forum, but most of them require game coins to view, which is completely unnecessary. Anyway, the second-level monsters must be nearby and can be found by just looking for them. However, if you want to find suitable monsters to spawn, you have to look in more places.
After Qianlizoudanqi ran away, Zhang Shan started to kill chickens alone. Although he was alone in gaining experience, his efficiency was still much lower. No matter how he moved, he would be hit once or twice by the chicken every time he killed a chicken, and he would lose 7 or 8 points of health each time. When he was unlucky, the chicken would peck at him and hit him with more than 10 points of damage.
According to his health of 120, he has to meditate to recover health if he cannot kill ten monsters. Compared with the previous time when he was riding alone for thousands of miles to fight monsters, it feels quite unhappy. He has just upgraded to another level, but his efficiency is actually worse than before the upgrade. It is totally unbearable.
We still need to find someone to help us. It doesn't matter if we can't fight the monsters, as long as we can help attack them twice. After Zhang Shan had this idea, he sent a single-rider message: "Brother, captain, give me a hand. I'll find someone else. It's too inefficient to kill monsters alone."
OK
System: Six-pipe Bodhisattva, I will ride alone for thousands of miles to hand over the captain of the team to you.
While killing monsters, Zhang Shan looked around to see if there was anyone suitable to form a team with.
However, currently those who are hunting chickens are in groups of three or four, so I think they have a team. He is a hunter and a weakling in the novice period, so he probably won't form a team.
Zhang Shan moved while brushing, and saw a female Taoist priest meditating and recovering her health in a remote corner.
I didn't notice it when I saw her from a distance, but when I got closer, I realized that this female Taoist priest was very beautiful. She was eye-catching, with a great figure and a very delicate face.
Of course, in the new world, appearance can be adjusted by 5%, and we don’t know what people adjust. The character’s appearance cannot be taken seriously. Just like Zhang Shan himself, although it was just a random adjustment, there are still big changes, and familiar people will not be able to recognize him when they see him.
Such a beautiful girl, but no one helps her upgrade. It's so cruel, hehe.
Zhang Shan ran over and said, "Beauty, let's team up and swipe faster together."
The female Taoist priest glanced at Zhang and didn't say anything at first. Maybe she felt a little disgusted when she saw the rifle in his hand. After all, the hunter profession is weak in the novice period and is not well-received.
"Hey, you're level 2 now. Why are you still spawning chickens here? You can go fight level 2 monsters instead." The female Taoist asked Zhang Shan curiously.
"One has to meditate to kill a level one monster by himself, so level two must be even harder. Just kill it first. Another buddy is going to look for level two monsters. We'll switch when we find a suitable one." Zhang Shan replied.
After saying that, Zhang Shan invited the beauty to form a team.
System: Fengchuifengling joins your team. The team's income is distributed equally in money and randomly in items.
As for experience distribution, it is based on level. Zhang Shan has a higher level, so he will get a little more experience. As for Riding Alone for a Thousand Miles, although he is still in the team, he is too far away and cannot share the experience and benefits. Of course, they cannot share the Zhang Shan he has brushed himself.
"Stand beside me, I'll lure the monsters over first, and you can just attack twice, that way we don't have to sit down to recover health." Zhang Shan said. With the experience of teaming up with Qianlizou Danqi to kill the chickens, Zhang Shan became more and more familiar with the cooperation between him and the melee flat attack to kill monsters.
Zhang Shan was very unhappy about the health recovery through meditation. If the small red medicine was not too expensive and he could not afford to buy so much, he would have wanted to buy some small red medicine to swipe. When he got more copper coins, he would buy some red medicine as a reserve.
Zhang Shan now has 116 copper coins in his bag, and he has completed 104 demon-killing missions, which means he has 220 copper coins in total. A small red potion costs 10 copper coins and adds 50 points of health. It can't buy much, and it's not very useful.
In a flash, the wind blowing the wind chime gave Zhang Shan an attack blessing, and the attack power became 20-27. He could deal with a demonized chicken in four hits. In addition, the wind blowing the wind chime also attacked once or twice, so he could do it without any damage, which was very comfortable.
Feng Chui Feng Ling was a cold and beautiful woman who didn't like to talk. Zhang Shan wasn't a talkative person either. The two of them just killed monsters in silence without talking or chatting, and the atmosphere was weird.
Zhang Shan felt a bit bored, so he opened the regional chat channel to see what others were talking about.
Since no one has left the Novice Village, the maximum range of everyone's speech is the Novice Village area. Speeches in a wider range cost money. The first message in the world speech costs one gold coin, and the cost of continuous speeches increases tenfold. At present, everyone is poor and no one can afford it.
10081 Novice Village Chat Channel
Secretary Fengyun: "I'm buying copper coins. All kinds of white equipment are 100 copper coins and 10 blue coins. White equipment is 100 each. I'm buying in bulk. Don't worry about me running out of money. I'm worried about you running out of stock. It's an offline transaction and the money will be transferred to your account in seconds. If you're quick, send me a PM. The price will be reduced this afternoon."
"Is there anyone who wants to team up to kill chickens? Let's do it together."
"What's your profession? Come join us."
"Thief, add me as a friend."
"What the hell is a thief group? I'm also a thief. How can two thieves do this?"
"It's better than brushing alone."
"Okay, let's get together."
Two poor thieves, probably still at level one, even worse than Zhang Shan at level one. At least Zhang Shan can fight a chicken alone, but it is difficult for the thief. Although the attributes of the chicken are similar to those of the level one thief, don't forget that the chicken has skills. If it gets critically hit again, it will definitely be lying down.
Zhang Shan looked at the regional chat channel again. There was nothing new. Either they were collecting equipment coins or calling for team formation. Come to think of it, everyone was at level 2 at most. There was no big trouble to deal with, and there wouldn't be . There were plenty of demonized chickens, so there wouldn't be any PK incidents of snatching monsters.
