That talent really made him extremely happy.
At the same time, a notification popped up on his mobile interface.
[Do you wish to announce your talent on the Talent Ranking List? You can obtain a ranking reward.]
What was that?
Wu Yan opened the Talent Ranking List that he had just activated.
In the end, there was only one eye-catching Grade A talent, an Attack Speed of +100%, ranked at the top.
The reward for being ranked first on the Talent Ranking List was a 5% EXP bonus.
It could be considered as better than nothing. One’s leveling speed would be a little faster.
Naturally, Wu Yan would not be so stupid as to announce his talent on the ranking list. There were so many people on Blue Star, yet only a few thousand people had announced their talent attributes.
No one was stupid.
It was not worth it to reveal your trump card for a little EXP bonus.
Wu Yan began to check his attributes seriously after he rejected announcing his talent.

[Player: Wu Yan (ID Option)]
[Class: Mage (Unadvanced)]
[Level: LV1]
[EXP: 0/100]
[HP: 100, MP: 100]
[Attributes: Vitality 10; Intelligence 10; Strength 3; Agility 3]
[Skills: Small Fireball LV1; Minor Healing LV1]
[Talent: Attribute Plunder (Grade Legendary; SSS+; Unique; Growth-type!)]
———————-
Those were indeed the attribute points of an ordinary Mage. But the attribute of Vitality 10 felt a bit odd.
Vitality 10 was usually the attribute of a Tank-type Warrior.
How could a Mage have such a high Vitality?
Wu Yan couldn’t be bothered about it too.
As long as he saw his glowing Grade Legendary talent, he felt very motivated.
As an average student, he finally had the chance to turn the tables, which made him extremely excited.
A white light flashed past and he chose to enter the game.
Accompanied by music and the game description of “Descent of The Divine Realm”, Wu Yan came to an ordinary-looking village.
The village had the appearance of a different world, more like a magical world.
Equipment shops, blacksmith shops, fashion shops, grocery shops, pharmacies, and scroll points could be seen everywhere.
Some of the scenes looked ancient. It was even like a game he had played in elementary school called “Legend”.
There was an inexplicable sense of familiarity.
Wu Yan felt that his entire body was filled with motivation after entering the game.
One could usually receive a set of beginner equipment after entering the game.
The beginner equipment was one of the few equipment pieces that did not have class restrictions.
Wu Yan came to a person who looked like the Beginner’s Guide.
She was a blonde girl with a long ponytail and beautiful orange eyes. The NPC looked quite realistic.
It was so realistic that it made people suspect if a real person was acting.
The Beginner’s Guide used her gentle voice to ask, “Hero, please choose the beginner equipment that you like.”
“What do you recommend?” Wu Yan asked casually as he began to browse the beginner equipment.
“Eh?” The Beginner’s Guide exclaimed. There was a flash of strange look in her gaze before she said, “It’s more important to protect your HP for the chosen vulnerable Mage class.”
What did she mean?
Wu Yan indeed saw a set of equipment called the ‘Life Set’. That set of equipment was rather useless compared to other pieces of equipment.
He checked the attributes.
———————-
[Equipment Name: Life Set]
[Level: Beginner equipment]
[Introduction: This is the beginner equipment from the Beginner’s Guide. It allows the player to pass the beginner’s phase.]
[Attributes: HP +100; MP: +100]
———————-
That was really a little bit useless.
Wu Yan looked at the Beginner’s Guide suspiciously. The other party no longer had any expression. Was that considered a hint just now?
He decided to take a gamble after hesitating.
“I’m choosing this! The Life Set.”
[Congratulations, Player ‘Wu Yan’, for being the first to choose the Life Set. You’ve activated the special attributes of the Life Set.]
[Special attributes are as follows: HP bonus +10%; MP bonus +10%; Physical Anti-armor Damage +10%]
All of them were percentage bonuses!
Wu Yan was overjoyed.
For his attribute bonuses, attributes with percentage bonuses were more terrifying than those with high fixed probabilities.
And what was with the Physical Anti-armor Damage?
Would the damage from monsters backfire?
In the village, monsters could be seen everywhere and they were attacking. Those monsters swaggered into the village except for the areas near the NPCs.
Wu Yan was attacked by a Hedgehog Bug covered in spikes while he was not paying attention.
[HP -10. The Hedgehog Bug’s HP has been affected by your Physical Anti-armor Damage effect, HP -1].
The backfired damage ignored all kinds of armor and directly dealt True Damage.
Wu Yan was overjoyed.
He had not seen anyone bring up the concept of True Damage so far in the world. However, he knew how terrifying True Damage was.
The Beginner’s Guide looked at the young man, who was laughing non-stop, with a strange expression on her face.
Indeed, she had shown compassion just now and secretly hinted the fact that no one had ever collected the ‘Life Set’.
There was a special bonus for the first collection of equipment set. It was targeted at special attributes.
For example, Wu Yan’s attributes of Vitality 10 and Intelligence 10 fit perfectly with the Life Set.
That was a hidden function, and very few people had come across it.
However, why was that guy not retaliating when he was being constantly attacked by the Hedgehog Bug?
The Beginner’s Guide was also dumbfounded. If it wasn’t for the fact that it didn’t reach her attack range, she would have stomped the bug to death.
Wu Yan cast Minor Healing on himself. He could recover 30 HP but the cooldown would need 10 seconds.
Based on that calculation, there wouldn’t be a problem at all.
He had checked the information on the Hedgehog Bug. It was most likely because there wasn’t much difference in their levels that he was able to see the information of the Hedgehog Bug directly displayed in front of him.
———————-
[Monster Name: Hedgehog Bug]
[Level: LV2]
[HP: 10]
[DEF: 20]
[ATK: 13]
———————-
Wu Yan remembered that there was a monster specially mentioned in the forum. The Hedgehog Bug was called the beginner’s Intelligence tax.
It meant that the cost-benefit ratio of the monster was too low.
Although its HP was not high, its defense was too high. It was very difficult to break through its defense, so it was not wise to spend time farming that monster.
Wu Yan only cast a few healing spells on himself.
The Hedgehog Bug fell to the ground after attacking him 10 times in a row.
———————-
[Player ‘Wu Yan’ has killed a Hedgehog Bug. Please choose the attribute of the monster to be plundered.]
[Attribute Option 1: DEF +1]
[Attribute Option 2: HP +1]
[Attribute Option 3: Physical Anti-armor Damage +1%]
Wu Yan was excited. That talent was indeed worthy of being a Grade Legendary talent. He decisively chose Physical Anti-armor Damage +1%!
