Chapter 1 The Dog-Headed Man in the Mist

The Kobold in the smoke was struck, and a damage number of 21 popped up above its dog head.

Suddenly attacked for no apparent reason, the Kobold was furious. It scanned its surroundings, its eyes blood-red, like a searchlight. This action alerted the other Kobolds, who also looked over, somewhat wary.

Hei Zi in the woods felt his heart pounding faster and faster, extremely nervous.

The Kobolds looked like Level 2 monsters, but their stats were 100% those of Level 4. Drinking Black Iron Beer only greatly increased the character's courage and induced drunkenness, causing the character to perceive all enemy levels as being two levels lower, but it did not actually reduce the Kobolds' stats.

If these Kobolds charged over, it would be certain death.

However, Hei Zi's worries were completely unnecessary.

The attacked Kobold looked around but didn't find any enemies. It only whimpered a few times before returning to normal. The other Kobolds ignored this crazy companion and continued to wander.

"Attack with confidence. As long as you maintain a distance of 30 yards, they won't attack us," Shi Feng said, patting Hei Zi's shoulder confidently.

He had planned all of this long ago, otherwise, he wouldn't have spent so much money buying things.

Encouraged by Shi Feng, Hei Zi became bolder, continuously chanting spells and shooting Shadow Arrows.

The Kobolds, with only 420 health points, couldn't withstand Hei Zi's bombardment. More than twenty Shadow Arrows flew out, instantly killing them, and the Kobolds around them didn't express any opinions about it.

Seeing the first Kobold fall, Hei Zi became excited.

This was killing monsters four levels higher, and although they were in a two-person team, and the experience points were divided, the experience points were still incredibly plentiful, instantly increasing by 5%.

That meant that killing 20 Kobolds would be enough to level up, and it was safe and harmless. The monsters were endless, and the leveling speed was simply terrifying. Leveling up to Level 6 in this way would be extremely efficient. Hei Zi now understood why Shi Feng was so confident. Killing monsters here made the several hours of running worth it.

Before long, the twenty-plus Kobolds in front of the mine entrance were cleared out.

Hei Zi also leveled up to Level 1, equipped the Blackwood Staff, and added all his free attribute points to Intelligence. His damage suddenly increased greatly, and he could now knock off 45 health points from the Kobolds in one hit.

The twenty-plus Kobolds dropped 12 copper coins, a piece of ordinary Level 3 cloth armor, and 5 pieces of Star Meteor Ore. His luck was very good.

As far as Shi Feng knew, the drop rate of Star Meteor Ore from Kobolds was not high, only one out of ten. It would take approximately killing 1000 Kobolds to get 100 pieces, but now, twenty-plus Kobolds dropped 5 pieces of Star Meteor Ore and some ordinary equipment. Hei Zi's luck was too good.

After collecting all the drops, Shi Feng continuously lured monsters, using his advantage of 16 Agility to move faster than the Kobolds. He lured more than thirty Kobolds at once, maintaining a distance of just under 25 yards, until he had lured all the Kobolds into the Smoke Bomb. Then, he suddenly accelerated, breaking away from the 25-yard range, causing the Kobolds to lose their target and stand there in a daze.

Hei Zi outside the 30-yard range took the opportunity to attack.

The thirty-plus Kobolds were cleared out in less than 10 minutes, dropping another 21 copper coins and 6 pieces of Star Meteor Ore. Shi Feng and Hei Zi's experience points also increased significantly.

Just like that, Shi Feng lured monsters, and Hei Zi continuously output damage. Although it was very mechanical and boring, Hei Zi didn't mind at all. On the contrary, he became more and more enthusiastic about killing, wishing he could kill all day without rest.

An hour later, Hei Zi's level also increased to Level 2, and his Shadow Arrow leveled up to Level 3. The damage increased from over 40 to over 60, making him extremely happy. The rocket-like leveling speed filled him with the motivation to sprint to Level 3.

The significant increase in damage greatly improved the efficiency of killing Kobolds. However, the upgrading of Shadow Arrow also caused more and more mana consumption. Fortunately, Shi Feng had bought Mana Water, which could replenish his mana before Shi Feng lured another wave, allowing him to output continuously.

Shi Feng observed Hei Zi's situation while luring a suitable number of Kobolds over. In addition, he picked up the drops. The copper coins and Star Meteor Ore were steadily increasing.

After another hour or so, with Hei Zi's efforts, they had harvested 73 pieces of Star Meteor Ore, six pieces of ordinary equipment, and 264 copper coins. As long as they farmed for another hour or so, they could gather enough Star Meteor Ore.

At this moment, the system issued a prompt.

System: Player Jimolu Xue has mailed you 10 copper.

Then, he received a communication request from Jimolu Xue.

"Who is this?" Shi Feng had just lured a wave of monsters and had nothing to do, so he accepted the communication request.

"Hello, expert brother, I am Jimolu Xue. We met at the City Hall. You also guided me to kill monsters in the wild. That place is great. No one is stealing monsters, and I can handle it just fine. I am already Level 2 and have obtained a lot of materials and copper coins. I have already mailed you 10 copper coins. I don't know if you have received it." Jimolu Xue was very excited. He was previously worried that this expert didn't want to bother with him anymore. After all, experts were arrogant and didn't even want to glance at small characters. The treasure land he bought earned him more than 60 copper coins, and his level also increased to Level 2, leading many other players. Spending 20 copper coins was really worth it.

"Oh, it's you. I have received the 10 copper coins." After being reminded, Shi Feng remembered that there was such a thing, but at that time, he had just casually given some guidance in order to kill the town chief earlier. He didn't care about the 10 copper coins at all.

"Expert brother, the Level 2 dungeon Silent Forest has now opened. I would like to invite you to run the dungeon together. My friends are all veterans and are already Level 2. They definitely won't hold you back. Of course, all the swordsman equipment in the dungeon is yours. Do you have time?" Jimolu Xue was a little nervous. Generally, experts disdained to carry people, especially newbies, so he specifically explained that the people in the team were all Level 2 veterans, fearing that Shi Feng would refuse outright.

Silent Forest?

Shi Feng had a deep impression of this dungeon. As long as a certain number of players in Red Leaf Town reached Level 2, the first Level 2 dungeon in Red Leaf Town, Silent Forest, would be opened.

The opening of Silent Forest also let all players know how difficult the dungeons in God's Domain were to clear. It wasn't until many players reached Level 4 or 5 that Silent Forest was cleared.

The main purpose of Silent Forest was to increase the number of skills players possessed. Most of the monsters inside dropped basic skill books for each class, and the most valuable thing was the forging blueprint, which was only dropped by the final boss, the werewolf Fellerot, but the drop rate was very low.

Shi Feng was very interested in this forging blueprint. If he learned it, it could greatly improve the progress of his next plan.

"Okay, but I also have a request. I will bring a Curse Sorcerer with me. All the equipment and skill books for the swordsman and Curse Sorcerer will belong to me, as well as all the materials and blueprints dropped by the boss. If you are willing, I can go," Shi Feng said lightly, asking for most of the benefits, not feeling that there was anything wrong.

"This..." Jimolu Xue was sweating all over after hearing this. The price of an expert's appearance was high, but considering the strength of a closed beta expert, he gritted his teeth and agreed, "Okay, I agree. I will tell them. When will you have time to come, expert?"

"In another two hours or so, let's meet at the dungeon entrance," Shi Feng estimated Hei Zi's killing speed. In another hour, he would definitely get 100 pieces of Star Meteor Ore.

"Okay, I will go prepare now. I'll see you at the dungeon entrance, expert brother." Jimolu Xue hung up the phone, feeling relieved.

At this time, there were still three people standing next to Jimolu Xue, and each person's level was Level 2.

"What did the expert you mentioned say?" a handsome male ranger asked.

Jimolu Xue explained everything to the others according to the original words.

"What bullsh*t expert? He's just here to steal equipment and take advantage. Why are we grouping with him? We can find two more Level 2 damage dealers and still run the dungeon," a shield warrior said angrily, cursing loudly.

The male priest on the side also curled his lips, unhappily saying, "So, he means that all the magic equipment belongs to his friend."

Jimolu Xue tried to persuade, "That person is really an expert, and he is also a closed beta tester. He must know a lot about the dungeon. Maybe he can lead us to clear it. Don't you want to clear Silent Forest?"

"What if he is a closed beta tester? He just experienced God's Domain for a month and has a general understanding. Even if he knows a lot about Silent Forest, the data and information have already been changed after the official launch. How much of it can be used?" the shield warrior said disdainfully, feeling that those closed beta testers were just lucky and that their technical skills might not be as good as theirs.

"Let's wait for them to come first. If it doesn't work, there will be many players who have leveled up to Level 2 by then, and we can find someone else," the leading ranger said.

Hearing the ranger say this, the others nodded in agreement.

At this time, a flash of light flickered in Darkmoon Valley.

Shi Feng had finally leveled up to Level 3. It was a pity that the level rankings hadn't opened yet, otherwise, he would definitely be the number one in Red Leaf Town.

"Finally Level 3." Shi Feng couldn't wait to add all 4 attribute points to Agility, instantly reaching 20 points.

System: Player's Agility has reached 20 points, unlocking the hidden basic Agility skill, Nimble Swiftness, possessing agility beyond that of ordinary people, and fully opening the body's freedom.

Suddenly, Shi Feng felt a surge of power throughout his body, and his body was incredibly flexible. His five senses were greatly enhanced, allowing him to better unleash the potential of this body.

In addition to Shi Feng leveling up to Level 3, Hei Zi had previously killed a batch of Kobolds and actually dropped a Level 1 bronze equipment, War Boots.

Shi Feng had to admire Hei Zi's luck. Ordinary Level 1 to Level 3 monsters would not drop bronze equipment, and the drop rate of bronze equipment from Level 4 monsters was less than one in ten thousand. Hei Zi actually dropped one, his luck was simply heaven-defying.

"Brother Feng, what are the stats? Let me take a look!" Hei Zi said excitedly.

"These war boots have very good stats." Shi Feng displayed the stats.

Newbie War Boots, Plate Armor, Bronze Grade, Equipment Requirement 6 Strength, Equipment Level 1, Defense +8, Strength +1, Endurance +1, Movement Speed +1, Durability 20/20.

"Great, with this equipment, Brother Feng, your speed will be even faster." Hei Zi said happily. Previously, he was the only one with bronze equipment, making him feel very bad. Now that Shi Feng also had one, he felt much more comfortable. "Brother Feng, how much more Star Meteor Ore do we need?"

"Not much, just 4 pieces, and we'll be okay after one more wave." Shi Feng looked at his backpack. He had unknowingly collected 96 pieces of Star Meteor Ore. If someone else had come to farm, it would probably take five or six hours. Fortunately, Hei Zi was there, and they had killed several hundred to almost gather them all.

Just as Shi Feng was about to lure monsters, his keen senses detected three blurry figures approaching behind Hei Zi.

"Hei Zi, quickly dodge!"

Shi Feng shouted loudly, directly drawing his Novice Sword and rushing over at lightning speed.

Hei Zi was still completely unaware, only caring about being happy, and had not noticed anything approaching.

"It's too late to realize it now. He will be the first to die."

Three figures suddenly appeared. They were three Assassin players, one of whom was You Lang, who had been killed before. A magic class being ambushed by three assassins was almost certain death, without suspense, even if Hei Zi was one level higher than them.
