The silver equipment truly lives up to its name, offering a significant boost, with just the defense reaching 62 points.

The zombie's attack power is only 65 points, causing Li Wu just 3 points of damage, which isn't even as fast as his health regeneration.

With a comprehensive boost, Li Wu charged at the distant zombie.

-224 (Power Strike)

-140 (Normal Attack)

A Power Strike followed by a normal attack took out most of the zombie's health.

-140 (Kill)

With one skill and three normal attacks, the zombie was killed. Li Wu calculated the damage.

The zombie had 550 health points, and one skill plus three normal attacks could deal 644 damage, exceeding by 94 points.

Hmm? How is this even a challenge?

Four normal attacks would be 560 points!

Li Wu mourned the loss of his brain cells for a second, then charged at the next zombie.

Li Wu's return to the city didn't take much time; only the depths of the mine shaft had some zombies lingering due to the Electric Zombie King's presence. In the middle sections, there were more players than zombies, making it hard to find any to kill.

Li Wu walked out of the mine shaft without any trouble, but he was puzzled as to why several level 7 or 8 players were searching for something with their backs to the mine.

Li Wu returned to the Beginner Village to replenish his bread and water, then went to find Spicy Rabbit.

Though the little girl was timid, her damage output was impressive. It would be a waste not to use such a tool.

It seemed the little girl didn't need sleep; while Li Wu was away, she had leveled up to level 3 by grinding on Giant Bunnies.

Spicy Rabbit was much more willing to spend money than Li Wu. As soon as she reached level 3, she bought a set of silver equipment, carefully selecting those with good attributes.

Normally, for equipment of the same level, spell attack is generally lower than physical attack. However, after Spicy Rabbit changed her equipment, her spell attack reached 186 points, surprisingly 18 points higher than Li Wu's physical attack.

Of course, this was also because Spicy Rabbit allocated her free attribute points with a 4:1 ratio in favor of Intelligence and Spirit.

Seeing Spicy Rabbit's attributes, Li Wu immediately took her to the level 4 [Mad Sheep] gathering area.

With two level 3 silver sets and a 100% critical hit, if they couldn't kill monsters above their level, it would be unreasonable.

If not for the fear of too much pain, Li Wu would have wanted to challenge level 5 monsters.

[Mad Sheep]

Level: 4

Health: 820

Attack: 75

Defense: 42

Li Wu used True Sight to check the Mad Sheep's attributes, then devised a strategy.

He first went up with a normal attack followed by a Power Strike, and while the Mad Sheep was stunned, he landed another normal attack.

-126

Three attacks, not counting the negligible slash damage, could take away over 500 health points, and Spicy Rabbit's Fireball hit at the perfect moment, instantly taking down the Mad Sheep.

-399

The explosive damage made Li Wu's face full of envy that he couldn't hide.

No wonder she's the child of fortune; if the little girl's level and equipment catch up with the top players, how much would the gold farming team have to pay her?

Killing the Mad Sheep earned 60 experience points, with an extra 20% reward for killing a monster one level higher, giving Li Wu a total of 72 experience points. Of course, this was because they were in a party; if he had soloed, he could have gained 144 experience points.

Leveling from 3 to 4 required 40,000 points, meaning the two of them needed to kill 555 Mad Sheep to level up.

However, Li Wu had already gained 14,000 experience points from soloing the Electric Zombie King, and with the other monsters he had killed, he was already halfway there.

Spicy Rabbit had slightly less than Li Wu, but not by much. After all, while Li Wu was hunting for the boss, the little girl was quietly grinding on Giant Bunnies and Turtles, leveling up quickly with one-hit kills.

Li Wu glanced at the time, then checked the chat channel, realizing that the Silver Wolf King had spawned, which explained why there were so few people in the level 4 monster area.

"Let's hurry and grind while there's no one around; once the crowd comes, efficiency will drop."

Li Wu had no intention of competing for the Silver Wolf King. Even though his slash damage had increased to 0.4%, with the Silver Wolf King's 68,000 health points, he could deal 272 damage per hit, but the expert players had also improved their levels and equipment in the past two days.

The gold farming team's threshold had risen to 330 attack points, making it as likely for Li Wu to land the last hit as winning the lottery.

Since the level 5 boss had already triggered three talent upgrades, it was better to focus on leveling up and preparing for the level 10 boss.

With Blue Star Online's style, the level 10 boss could have a health pool of ten or twenty thousand. By then, most others wouldn't be able to break its defense, while he could deal several hundred points per hit. Who could compete with him?

Surrounded by Mad Sheep, the two of them were grinding happily. Half an hour later, more players started gathering at the Mad Sheep area.

Li Wu and Spicy Rabbit finally got a taste of the veteran players' miserable leveling path.

Although it wasn't as bad as when the server first opened, with ten people hacking at one monster, having to wait for respawns after killing a dozen monsters was a cold splash of reality for Li Wu.

The two of them went to the level 3 monster area, where there were fewer people, but it wasn't free for all either. The experience was lower, and there was no bonus for killing higher-level monsters, making it less efficient than the Mad Sheep.

In the end, they camped at the Mad Sheep area until 4 PM, when Li Wu barely reached level 4, while Spicy Rabbit was still a few thousand experience points short.

Li Wu was considering whether to buy a set of level 4 equipment to try fighting level 5 monsters when a sudden loudspeaker caught his attention.

Junlin Tianxia: "How dare you ask me for money when you haven't even done your job?"

Junlin Tianxia causing trouble again?

Li Wu opened the chat channel with curiosity.

Killer Qiang: "I've been waiting at the mine entrance for four or five hours, missed the Silver Wolf gold team, and you think 10 silver as a deposit is enough?"

Wingman 996: "You've only waited four or five hours? I've been waiting since 10 AM, haven't even fought a monster, and he still won't pay the rest."

Kettle: "We've been watching the whole time, are you blaming us for Invincible Cute Tuan not showing up?"

"......"

Li Wu suddenly remembered the level 7 or 8 players at the mine entrance; they were there to block him from fighting the boss!

They probably didn't expect him to park his character in the mine early in the morning, so they only watched people entering, not leaving.

Village-wide Top Message:

Junlin Tianxia: "Nonsense, an [Electric Zombie King Ring] was just auctioned off. Who do you think got it? You didn't even catch the person, and you want me to pay?"

Killer Qiang: "Maybe he got it yesterday?"

Wingman 996: "Exactly! Junlin Tianxia is shameless, withholding wages from workers!"

Kettle: "Junlin Tianxia is shameless, withholding wages from workers!"

"Junlin Tianxia is shameless, withholding wages from workers!"

Junlin Tianxia: "Stop talking nonsense! I just sent someone into the depths of the mine, and the boss is gone."

Killer Qiang: "Junlin Tianxia is shameless, withholding wages from workers!"
