Chapter 3

Just then, his attribute of Physical Anti-armor Damage increased to 11%.

If he could increase his Physical Anti-armor Damage continuously, the problem he was most worried about as a Mage would be easily solved.

He had just taken time to check the HP of Assassins of the same level in the forum. It was even lower than an ordinary Mage’s.

With his Life Set now, his HP was already twice as high as an Assassin’s.

When playing games in the past, he had never lost to a Mage of the same level in a PK. Even the most thrilling match had also been a draw.

The problem now was where to find the Hedgehog Bug.

Wu Yan tried to ask the Beginner’s Guide, “Do you know where the Hedgehog Bug is?”

The latter did not answer. It seemed that that was no longer part of her business.

Wu Yan used the initial 100 gold coins to buy some groceries first.

The most important were the Life Potion, Magic Potion, etc. He planned to look for the Hedgehog Bug’s territory.

At a glance, he could see many monsters’ gathering grounds from afar outside the village.

And on the ground, there were distinct black and white dividing lines.

Those were signs unique to the Beginners’ Village to determine if they had entered the monster’s Aggro range.

When they later entered other Dungeons in the Main City, there wouldn’t be such friendly prompts.

Because the game had been running for some time, there were not many people in the Beginners’ Village.

One could occasionally see a few Warriors who were skilled at farming Slimes. It was as if they had deleted their accounts to retrain.

Because the combat technique used was too skillful. It was like watching a tutorial.

Slimes were also monsters graded with the highest cost-benefit ratio for beginners to train, making leveling quick.

Wu Yan noticed that there was also a Players-by-Batch Ranking List in the game.

That meant the players who entered the game on the same day had a Level Ranking List.

The rewards on the ranking list were more bountiful than those on the Talent Ranking List.

It seemed that “Descent of The Divine Realm” also encouraged everyone to not easily expose their talents.

In that world, talent was much more important than level. Some people would constantly delete their accounts to find better talents.

However, each person could only delete it a few times before his credit points dropped to a point where he could no longer enter the game. Moreover, he would be held accountable, so only some brave ones would dare to try that.

“Brother, may I ask if you know where there are more Hedgehog Bugs?” Wu Yan asked an honest-looking burly man.

After the burly man finished chopping the Slime in front of him, he took a deep breath.

The world felt pretty realistic.

One could clearly feel the surrounding air, five senses, and so on.

He sized up Wu Yan’s clothes with a strange look.

It was a style he had never seen before. He did not answer Wu Yan but asked in a muffled voice, “Brother, what’s your class?”

“How come I’ve never seen these clothes before?”

A cold-looking Assassin-type man was beside him. He did not stop using the dagger in his hand.

But when he heard those words, he also looked over curiously.

Wu Yan did not hide either. After all, it would be a waste of time to rely on himself to search for the Hedgehog Bugs slowly. Those people were obviously veterans full of experience.

It would be a pity not to make use of them.

“I train as a Mage. These clothes are used to increase HP and MP.”

The honest-looking burly man suddenly revealed a pitiful expression when he said that. One could tell that it was a heartfelt expression.

The man beside him also snorted softly.

The honest-looking burly man’s voice became gentler, “Brother, you just entered the game today, right? If you delete your account on the first day, your credit points will be deducted lesser. Delete your account earlier.”

“Mages have no future.”

Wu Yan was stunned. He did not expect the other party to ask him to delete his account. However, there was no mockery in the other party’s expression. Instead, he was sincerely trying to persuade him.

He also replied, “I quite like the Mage class. I’ll just train it first. Haha.”

The cold-looking Assassin lightly said, “Stupid!”

The honest-looking burly man immediately explained, “Don’t listen to him. He used to train as a Mage in the past and was dissatisfied, so he deleted his account and retrained. He even dragged me along!”

The honest-looking burly man didn’t try to persuade him further. He continued, “If you’re training as a Mage, your chosen equipment isn’t great. You should choose clothes with high Critical Damage. That way, you’ll be able to level up faster in the early stage.”

“Heaven Punisher! You’re too long-winded! Why don’t you just let him waste time if he wants to waste it? Some people just won’t shed tears until they see their coffins!” The cold-looking Assassin said coldly.

The honest man laughed, not stopping at all because of the cold man’s words.

He continued, “Brother, it’s okay if you want to farm Hedgehog Bug. As long as you stand far away and block the rocks, they won’t be able to hurt you. Head West.”

The honest man pointed at the hill a few hundred meters away. There was a Hedgehog Bug Dungeon there. It was best not to go in.

“No one has cleared this Hedgehog Bug Dungeon yet! You can just farm at the peripheral.”

He was indeed a little too talkative.

“I’ve applied to be your friend. My ID is ‘Heaven Punisher Mars’. Just call me Heaven Punisher.”

Wu Yan accepted his friend request. Initially, he did not intend to add him as a friend. Now that he was still in his starting stage, his information might be easily exposed.

However, Heaven Punisher seemed to be a good person.

He only discovered through his Friends’ List that Heaven Punisher was the No. 1 on the Players-by-Batch Ranking List that day. He was currently LV2.

The second was an Assassin named Hidden Killer.

He guessed it was probably the cold-looking Assassin beside him. He was also LV2.

Wu Yan was deep in thoughts.

Hidden Killer used to be a Mage, so it was understandable that he deleted his account and retrained. But was it really necessary for Heaven Punisher to delete his previous account?

Judging from their experience in fighting monsters, it was very likely that they were the first batch of players to enter the game.

After Wu Yan left, Hidden Killer could not help but ask Heaven Punisher, “Why did you talk so much to a Beginner Mage? Choosing a Mage is a dead end.”

Heaven Punisher looked at Wu Yan, who had walked far away. “Don’t you think he is similar to the previous you? His eyes are brimming with self-confidence.”

Hidden Killer snorted, “Let’s go. This time, we’ll pass the Secret Dungeon that only exists in the Beginners’ Village.”

Wu Yan walked for approximately a few minutes and arrived near the Hedgehog Bugs’ gathering ground. He could already see a few scattered Hedgehog Bugs wandering around.

On the first day, Wu Yan’s level rose to LV3, and his Physical Anti-armor Damage increased to 50%.

On the second day, his level rose to LV5, and his Physical Anti-armor Damage increased to 80%.

On the third day, his level rose to LV6, and his Physical Anti-armor Damage increased to 90%.
