Chapter 2: 1 ~ 2_ 2

"Boss, if you keep coming up with such nonsensical names, you'll scare the pretty girls away."
"Shut up! Let me tell you, my luck is changing this year. If you don't believe me, just wait and see!"
I hurriedly set up my computer, put on my helmet, and entered the game. The first hour of the game was a brief introduction of the game's content. Fortunately, the NPC sister was quite eye-catching. Otherwise, I, hehe, wouldn't be able to do anything.
The image of the characters in this game varied by 10% according to the players' appearance. Their gender could not be changed, and their identities must be real.
"The game will officially begin in five minutes. Players can prepare to apply for an account."
At 8 p.m. sharp, I started charging. Holy shit, there were so many people! After ten minutes, hehe, I finally got in.
"Welcome to the Second World. You are the 123,456th player." Although the number was special, there was no reward!
Sigh, isn't this clearly discriminating against me!
"Please enter your ID… The system is currently testing your DNA. Please wait a moment…" At this moment, the antique necklace on my chest suddenly emitted a blue light. A strange magic array appeared in front of me. It shook for a moment before disappearing.
Could it be that I had seen a ghost? I pinched myself hard. Damn, it hurts! The next time when I confirm, I must pinch someone else. The system paused for a moment before returning to normal. At this moment, the NPC's voice sounded. "Honorable player, your DNA shows that the most suitable profession for you is a mage. The suitability rate is as high as 200%. You are the most talented player to date. If you choose a mage as a profession, you will receive the system's reward. Next, please choose your profession."
Gosh, I'll choose a mage. System, please don't be too stingy. You have to give me something good.
"Congratulations, Soul Eater: Your ID application has been successful. You have received an additional attribute gifted by the system—Luck. Your Luck is now 1. For every 10 levels, your Luck will automatically increase by 1. This skill point is a fixed allocation. Thank you, goodbye."
That's it? I thought you'd give me a set of top-grade equipment. How stingy! But having a reward is a good sign. Looks like my luck is going to change!
Don't blame me for being lucky. I'm the protagonist. Who am I afraid of?!
"Oh my god, what a spectacular sight! I'm in a magnificent building surrounded by players. There's light (it's a pity that there are no pretty girls, only a few perverted muscular men posing there), and there's also a person wearing a plain cloth robe. There are so many people! Although I'm not an expert, I know that leveling up is the hardest for newbies. The monsters that are easy to kill are basically invisible. We don't have time to waste. Let's charge forward for a new life."
"Bo~~ Boss, where are you? Come quickly, I'm already Level 5. Why are you only going up now? We haven't even entered the top 10,000."
"I'm in the novice area. I just got in. Where are you?"
"Boss, we'll meet at the city gate. I'll bring you. I'm a Thief. Boss, you're still a mage, right?"
"En, you still have some skills. You even guessed it correctly. Alright, I'll go right away. Wait for me there. Don't run around."
After putting on my novice's clothes, I rushed to the city gate.
Gold Money Mao and I had been killing deer, rabbits, mutated frogs, and Slime outside the Imperial City for half a day. These were basically little monsters with no attack power (I used an 80% scenario, otherwise it would be too bloody, hehe~). Fortunately, they respawned quickly. Moreover, the map was so wide. I didn't know how many servers would be able to support them.
I had finally reached Level 10 and had a small fireball. Xiaomao was now Level 12. According to the official introduction, he should still be killing here. I didn't believe it! Using my special terminology, I would say that I didn't need to give up easily. As long as I had long-range attacks, I would immediately level up. That was fast. Now, we had two choices. One was the Fallen Soul Valley in the northwest of Imperial City. There was a ghost cave in the valley that was suitable for players above Level 10 to level up and hunt for treasures. The other was Half Beast Mountain, which was the territory of the orcs. The level of the monsters inside was relatively low.
I decided to go to the Ghost Cave to train and see what the Ghost King looked like. Xiaomao decided to leave the organization and start practicing life skills. He was prepared to be the world's number one chef and build the number one building in the world. Of course, he had tried this wish a long time ago, but it ended in "complete defeat".
I returned to the city and sold off all my spoils of war, repaired my equipment, and filled my bag with Blood Replenishing Pills and Magic Crystals (Magic Crystals, from which mages can draw magical power). I originally wanted to take the Magical Teleportation Array, but when I saw that it cost 1 gold coin, I looked at my empty pocket. Sigh, my two legs were still useful. I could even train my body for free. Back then, I used them for 25,000 miles.
I came to the Fallen Soul Valley alone. It's really gloomy here. Even the sun is unwilling to shine in. There aren't many players here, and even fewer girls. Hehe, it's perfect for leveling up. Now, I'm afraid of attracting monsters if there are too many people leveling up, especially when a weak mage like me is the easiest to die. Just dying once will make my efforts go down the drain.
From time to time, a few wandering skeleton soldiers could be seen in the valley. They were all incomplete. Some of them had lost their arms and legs, and one of them had even lost his head. Isn't this delivering food to me? I'll help to cremate all of you for free. I'm really a good person. It's easy to kill them, but I don't have much experience. I shall hurry into the cave and take a look.
The cave was pitch-black, and a few wisps of nether flames floated out from time to time. It was really scary. Although I wasn't interested in the word justice, these guys were too ugly! It wasn't their fault that they were ugly, but it was a huge mistake to come out and scare me. Slaughtering skeleton soldiers and zombies! The skeletons here were much stronger than the ones outside. Some even had complete armor. Unlike the rusty axes outside, this place was filled with swords.
Look at my fireballs, fireballs, and fireballs! Kill, kill, kill, kill, ah, hm? Why are there fewer and fewer people? Forget it, I'll ignore this and focus on killing. The loot here is not bad. I've reached Level 15 and have already saved 300 silver coins. My bag is also full. Although I don't have any good equipment, there are quite a number of Blood Replenishing Pills and Magic Crystals here. It's enough to be self-sufficient. This is really a good place to level up. Why isn't anyone here?
The oncoming skeletons interrupted my thoughts. Who cares? I'll kill.
