Wu Yan hesitated as to whether he should reply Heaven Punisher.
However, Heaven Punisher was really good to him. He had even explained the benefits of being the first in their batch to reach LV10!
Among the same batch of players, the first to reach LV10 would receive a 5% permanent attribute bonus, and it was for all attributes!
That meant that his pure attributes would already have an advantage at the same level without the support of other equipment.
However, Wu Yan’s mind was filled with the thought of his HP increasing a little.
The first phase of the route he had planned for himself was to rely on Physical Anti-armor Damage to level up.
He looked at his current attributes:
———————-
[Player: Wu Yan (ID: Wandering)]
[Class: Mage (Unadvanced)]
[Level: LV10]
[EXP: 0/1000]
[HP: 1,200 (+35% = 1,620); MP: 1,200 (+35% = 1,620)]
[Attributes: Vitality 30; Intelligence 30; Strength 13; Agility 13. (All attributes +5%)]
[Skills: Small Fireball LV1, Minor Healing LV2]
[Talent: Attribute Plunder (Grade Legendary; SSS+; Unique; Growth-type!)]
[Current Plundered Attribute Type 1: Physical Anti-armor Damage +100% (Equipment additional bonus +30%)]
[Physical Anti-armor Damage Sputter currently extended +50%]

It was easy to level in Beginners’ Village because each level up only required 100 EXP.
However, when the level got higher, the EXP that the monsters could give would also be relatively lower.
For example, killing an LV1 Slime at LV1 could give 2 EXP, but it could only give 1 EXP at LV2.
Killing an LV1 Slime at LV3 would not give any EXP.
And after leaving the Beginners’ Village, the level would be completely different. The difficulty of each leveling would be greater.
1000 EXP was needed to level up from LV10 to LV11, 2000 EXP to level up to LV12, and so on.
Currently, the highest level player in the entire game was only LV20 because a super difficult class advancement pre-quest was blocking the way.
The official team said it could be completed ahead of time, just that the difficulty would be slightly greater.
Alternatively, one had to wait for a month after the game was launched before the pre-quest would automatically be canceled.
That was also something Heaven Punisher had told him. It seemed that he had already reached LV20 previously.
Ultimately, he chose to go back to LV1 with Hidden Killer and start over again.
After those few days, reality proved that there was still no one who could complete the pre-quest and break through the LV20 barrier.
It seemed that the first batch of LV20 players had just appeared the day he entered the game.
In that case, Heaven Punisher Mars and Hidden Killer could be considered the top batch of players, and he actually bumped into them.
Actually, Wu Yan didn’t know that it was not only Heaven Punisher Mars and Hidden Killer, but the pros who followed them also chose to start over.
That was because many special quests had to be triggered during the entire journey. Moreover, there wouldn’t be such an opportunity after passing the village.
For example, the 100 Monster Slashes in Beginners’ Village and the 1,000 Monster Slashes had attribute bonuses.
It was just that Wu Yan had yet to collect those achievements that belonged solely to the Beginners’ Village.
100 Monster Slashes could grant all attributes +1%, while 1000 Monster Slashes could grant all attributes +4%.
Wu Yan had already completed all of those long ago.
He not only completed 1,000 Monster Slashes, but the number of monsters had far exceeded 2,000.
However, a piece of information in the forum mentioned that the highest tier was 1,000 Monster Slashes.
That was because there was once a player who had borrowed his companions’ equipment and managed to kill Slimes for ten consecutive days.
He had killed 10,000 slimes without any EXP.
Therefore, some people concluded that the game would not be so ridiculous. It would only give out quests and rewards corresponding to the limits of your abilities.
Many people chose to start all over again because of that 5% attribute bonus.
In any case, they were just waiting. They were betting that no one would complete the pre-quest first.
That was because the pre-quest was too ridiculous. It was simply not a quest that an LV20 player could complete.
Of course, some of them also wanted the 5% attribute bonus, which was given to the first player in the same batch to reach LV10.
That event would only last for 30 days.
After the class advancement quest was fully activated, special rewards would no longer be given.
In other words, there would at most only be 30 players ranked No.1 on the Players-by-Batch Ranking List who would be able to obtain the 5% attribute bonus.

After Wu Yan looked at his attributes, he collected the achievement points for 100 Monster Slashes and 1,000 Monster Slashes.
His attribute bonus had already reached 10%.
Wu Yan first noticed his HP, which had increased by a small margin again.
Of course, he also paid attention to the growth of his MP.
However, he could not use up most of his MP, especially since his Intelligence attribute was very high. His MP also recovered very quickly.
His MP would have recovered within the cooldown time of casting the Minor Healing.
Of course, most Mages still did not have enough MP.
In that game environment where Mages were basically declared dead the moment they were in close combat, most Mages desperately stacked their Magic Damage to raise their skill damage.
The higher the skill level, the more MP would be consumed.
Non-conforming Mages such as Wu Yan didn’t exist because his talent was also unique.
The Mages in the past were all happy when they received the Magic Damage bonus. They did not expect themselves to be exhausted at the later stage.
The main reason was still that the game was too targeted at Mages.
Compared to the monsters’ Agility, the Mages’ Agility was really too low.
Wu Yan looked at his pitiful 13 points for Agility. He was afraid that he would be unable to trigger words such as ‘miss’ in his entire life.
After looking at his attributes, Wu Yan was teleported out of the cave. There was no more Hedgehog Bug at the cave entrance.
In other words, he had extinguished the Hedgehog Bug species!
Players who come later would never encounter the monster, Hedgehog Bug, again.
Of course, that matter had not fermented, so most people had not realized it yet.
Wu Yan finished analyzing his attributes and the skills he had.
His weakness now was not having a way to deal with Magic Damage, Illusions, and the like. Even though he had a lot of HP, if a few mages were to grind him to death, he didn’t have any good ideas to counter.
That was because his Small Fireball was still a pitiful LV1.
But there was hope of leveling up his Minor Healing to LV3.
Perhaps it was because he had used that skill the most when killing Boss-level monsters and was also the most effective. So he obtained the corresponding high score, which gave him an additional skill EXP buff.
And his advantage laid in his possibility of winning his PK with one, or even two, or three players of the same level in melee combat currently.
