"Evolution" does not include free attribute points after leveling up in the game.
During the leveling up process, the mage's attributes would automatically increase as it levels up (Strength, Agility, Constitution +1, Intelligence +2, HP +10, Mana +20).
This is one less thing for Su Yu to worry about.
Looking at his attribute panel, Su Yu quietly nodded his head.
"My spell power is now at 26 points, I should be able to instantly kill 4th level monsters. I think it's time I level up in the high-level monster area!"
Su Yu casually cast a [Magic Bullet], aiming to end the life of the wild boar in front of him, and then move to the high-level monster area.
However, something that he did not expect happened.
After being hit by his [Magic Bullet], the wild boar in front of him did not fall like others of its kind but roared and charged at Su Yu.
Su Yu was taken aback and took a good look at this boar.
Its size was larger than others and had more fur on its head, making it look quite fierce.
[Black Wild Boar Leader (normal)]
HP: 500
"A wild boar boss has spawned unexpectedly! No wonder I didn't kill it instantly."
"But since it is a boss, it should drop some good loot!"
With these thoughts in his head, Su Yu quickly reacted.
He calmly moved to the side to dodge the wild boar leader's [Charge].
Then, Su Yu launched his [Magic Bullet] and scroll-activated [Ice Arrow] onto the Wild Boar Leader.
-54
-48
Two big numbers popped up, and the wild boar leader's HP dropped below 70% immediately.
The wild boar leader, now in pain, had blood-red eyes. It grunted loudly and launched another [Charge] at Su Yu.
But Su Yu was, after all, a level 64 master in his previous life. For these low-level monsters' AI to harm him was practically impossible.
Casually dodging the [Charge], his spell casting did not slow down at all.
-55
-49
Two more spells.
The wild boar boss's HP further dropped below half.
The [Black Wild Boar Leader], who was proud of his [Charge] skill, couldn't hit the human in front of him and was easily dodged by Su Yu's proficient footwork.
Despite doing everything it could, it was never able to touch the human in front of it.
Not even once.
In the end, under the relentless bombardment of spells and magic scrolls, the wild boar leader cried out in pain and fell to the ground.
"Ding! You killed [Black Wild Boar Leader Lv3] and earned 30 experience points."
"The monsters from the newbie village are so weak! There's absolutely no challenge."
Su Yu approached the wild boar boss's corpse and picked up the bag full of loot.
The wild boar boss was quite generous with the loot and dropped several items.
[New Moon Wand (Excellent) Lv3], [Black Iron Boots (Excellent) Lv3], [Lightning Bolt (Normal)] skill scroll, [Wild Boar Leader's Tusk (Excellent)] X2.
"Oh? A skill scroll dropped?" Su Yu's eyes brightened.
In "Evolution", a small part of the basic skills could be learned from job mentors, but most of the higher-quality spells are learnt through skill scrolls. Skill scrolls are much more valuable than equipment, so it was quite unexpected that the wild boar boss dropped one!
It could also be due to the fact that it was the first time someone killed a level 3 boss in Nolan Village.
"[Lightning Bolt]? With the [Flash Chain] reward from the old wizard's task, it seems that I'm going to start off as a lightning mage in the early stage of the game!"
Su Yu smiled and immediately chose to learn this spell.
[Lightning Bolt (Normal)]: Launches a bolt of lightning to attack the enemy, dealing 130% spell power of magic damage. There is a 20% chance of placing the target in a [Paralyze] state. Casting time 1.5 seconds, consumes 5 mana points.
"[Paralysis]: The target cannot attack or move, duration 0.5 seconds.
Without a second thought, Su Yu spent 1100 spiritual energy coins to upgrade the skill to rare blue quality.
After the upgrade was complete, the attributes of the [Lightning Bolt] underwent a drastic change.
[Lightning Bolt (Rare)]: Release a lightning attack on the enemy, causing 390% magic damage based on spell potency, with a 40% chance of inducing a [Paralysis] status on the target. Casting time is 0.5 seconds, and consumes 15 mana points.
Looking at the upgraded attributes of [Lightning Bolt], Su Yu nodded in satisfaction.
Lightning spells in "Evolution" are known for their single-target high damage, quick speed and [Paralysis] effect.
However, compared to other elemental spells, it has a smaller damage range than fire spells, weaker control than ice spells, and less defensive power than earth spells.
Each elemental spell have their own strengths–there's no one-size-fits-all answer.
In his past life, mage players generally specialized in a single element type.
But Su Yu was different. He had 7 billion spiritual energy coins and could definitely afford to master multiple elements!
The [New Moon Wand] is still locked because his level is not high enough.
Su Yu casually threw the boss wild boar's drops into his backpack, whistling to himself as he headed to a high-level wild monster area.
...
While Su Yu was battling the boss wild boar, Snow Balm and his daughter found the other group of five who were leveling up on the other side of the boar area.
"Excuse me, have you seen a young man named 'Nemesis'?" Snow Balm asked politely.
"No."
"No."
"Me neither."
The four of them shook their heads in unison.
"You can try looking in the opposite monster area," said the kind-hearted archer. "After all, the wild monster area is large, so maybe…"
But then he trailed off. The archer, who had broader vision, turned to look in the distance, where Su Yu was battling the wild boar boss, surrounded by the heaps of wild boar carcasses at his feet!
"Boss, look over there! What's happening?!" he shouted, ignoring his leveling up and pointing at the distance.
"What?"
The fighter known as "boss" finished downing a wild boar, then lifted his head to look in the direction the archer was pointing—but didn't see a thing.
"There's nothing there," he said, looking perplexed.
The other teammates also concurred—they saw nothing.
"You guys can't see it...quickly, come with me, let's get a closer look!"
The archer was quite excited. He ran around the monster area towards the direction Su Yu was in.
"You two should come take a look too! Something incredible seems to have happened over there!" he told Snow Balm and his daughter.
Looking at the archer's actions, his four teammates exchanged glances.
However, they were already bored after half an hour of hunting wild boar, and without saying a word, they followed the archer.
Snow Fall and her father exchanged glances and out of curiosity, they too followed along.
...
After dealing with the wild boar boss, Su Yu hadn't walked far when he noticed seven players walking towards him. Among them were the familiar-looking Snow Balm and his daughter.
At this point, all seven players were staring at the wild boar carcasses littering the ground, their faces incredulous:
"Good heavens! How could there be so many wild boar carcasses? Could it be a bug?"
"The wild boars must have been killed quickly, otherwise how would so many carcasses be left without being refreshed?"
"Shocking! Dozens of wild boar carcasses in the wilderness...what could be the reason?"
Among the seven, the archer who had seen Su Yu battle the wild boar boss knew Su Yu was the cause.
He then walked up to Su Yu, his eyes shining, and said in a low voice:
"Buddy, where did you get that cheat? Is it reliable? Sell it to us, and we guarantee we'll pay a high price!"
"Cheating software..." Su Yu's lips twitched involuntarily.
He hadn't expected the archer to jump to that conclusion.
Without blushing or skipping a beat, Su Yu explained, "You're mistaken. I don't have any cheats. Just now, a high-level NPC happened to pass by and killed these wild boars."
"I see." Other than the archer, the rest of the team believed Su Yu's explanation and nodded in understanding.
Since "Evolution" had just been launched, it wouldn't make sense for cheats to exist so soon.
If not for cheating software, the only other explanation was the "high-level NPC passing by." Otherwise, no one would believe that the wild boar corpses scattered all over the ground were the work of Su Yu alone.
Sharp-eyed Snow Fall noticed the "lv2" tag after the "Nemesis" suffix and exclaimed, "Nemesis, you leveled up? Just now I saw you were still level 1!"
"That's because... that high-level NPC threw me a buff when he left, allowing me to solo the wild boars. I was already close to leveling up so after killing a few boars, I leveled up." Su Yu shrugged.
The team also noticed Su Yu's level and praised him:
"My god, he's already level 2!"
"We've been killing wild boars here since the server opened and we're only at 85% experience for level 1!"
"Did you receive some kind of hidden quest?"
The team leader, a warrior, came over to Su Yu and extended his hand:
"Hello! I'm the East Mountain Sword, team leader of the 'Zhan Tian' guild. Are you a solo player, my friend? Would you be interested in joining our guild? Our guild is the strongest guild in 'Magic Realm'..."
East Mountain Sword was blabbering on.
Seeing that Su Yu was at a higher level than them, he was instantly inspired to recruit him.
As for "Magic Realm", it was a highly popular online virtual reality game before "Evolution" launched.
...
"Zhan Tian Guild?"
Upon hearing this name, Su Yu's eyes flashed with intense fury and resentment.
Zhan Tian Guild was a renowned top-tier guild in his previous life, ranked third nationwide.
The guild leader, Zhan Tianjian, was extraordinarily strong and well-respected, with an impeccable reputation.
However, Su Yu was aware that in his previous life, Zhan Tianjian had secretly sided with the Skuru people.
The "honest and upright" Zhan Tianjian led his core team to betray Country at the most crucial moment, thus directly resulting in the failure of the East Sea defense war, with millions of citizens falling under the butchery of the Skuru people.
Consequently, upon hearing the name "Zhan Tian", Su Yu's favorable impression towards the players before him instantly plummeted to the freezing point.
However, the Zhan Tian Guild had not yet betrayed humanity in this life, so the hatred in Su Yu's eyes was fleeting.
"No need for the invitation. I just wanted to try out the game. I might lose interest in a couple of days."
Just like that, Su Yu turned abruptly and walked away without looking back.
"Ah—" Snow Fall reached out, hoping to hold Su Yu back. She didn't forget the reason why they came to the level 3 monster area was to invite Su Yu to level up together.
However, Snow Balm quickly stopped her, "Fall, don't disturb him. Let's return to the level 2 monster area and continue leveling."
As a recently retired military officer, Snow Balm noticed the fleeting hatred in Su Yu's eyes.
Although unsure of the reason, he knew that Su Yu was in no mood for games, and hence, instructed his daughter not to bother him.
...
East Mountain Sword's team was confused by Su Yu's abrupt exit.
The pretty female priest in the team thought Su Yu was looking down on them and commented irritably,
"Hmph! What's so great about him? Just because he completed some hidden quest and leveled up to 2, he doesn't even acknowledge our Zhan Tian Guild!"
She was confident about her appearance and she was livid that Su Yu hadn't even glanced at her when he saw her.
"Exactly, we're the number one guild in 'Magic Realm'! Many people can't even get in!"
"He's way too arrogant, thinking he's superior."
The other two members of East Mountain Sword's team echoed their agreement.
Even East Mountain Sword himself thought that Su Yu was looking down on them, and his expression turned sour.
Snow Balm sensed a deeper reason behind Su Yu's departure.
So, he laughed and diverted attention from Su Yu:
"Haha, if you all are high-end players from the 'Zhan Tian Guild', would you allow me and my daughter to join your guild?"
At Snow Balm's words, the conversation shifted away from Su Yu.
East Mountain Sword glanced at Snow Fall and quickly nodded, "Of course! After reaching level 10 and entering the main city, I'll invite you to join the guild."
As Snow Fall was an attractive woman and as beautiful players were a scarce resource in online games, East Mountain Sword naturally wouldn't refuse.
Thus, under Snow Balm's deliberate guidance, the departure of Su Yu was temporarily forgotten by East Mountain Sword's team, and they continued to level up cheerfully in the boar zone.
...
Level 4 monster zone.
In the vast leveling area, there was only Su Yu.
He strolled casually in the monster zone.
After leveling up to level 2, his [Lightning Bolt] could deal nearly 100 points of damage to unarmored targets!
The level 4 wild monster, [Slope Sheep] only had 60 points of health. Even when factoring in the monster's defense and level gap, they could not withstand Su Yu's spell.
-78
-62 ([Fireball Skill] Scroll)
-80
-61
-83
The [Slope Sheep] fell one after another at Su Yu's feet, not much different from the [Black Wild Boars] earlier.
"Ding! You killed a level 4 [Slope Sheep] and gained 4 experience points."
"Ding! You killed a level 4 [Slope Sheep] and gained 4 experience points and [Sheep Meat]."
"Ding! You killed a level 4 [Slope Sheep]..."
Though leveling up was monotonous, Su Yu's mind was wandering far away.
The thought that occupied him most was about the "Zhan Tian Guild".
In his previous life, the Zhan Tian Guild was a mammoth obstacle to Su Yu.
Just to mention, the power of Zhan Tianjian alone was possibly greater than a hundred Su Yus combined.
But in this life, should he do something to suppress the Zhan Tian Guild?
Such as delaying their guild's development, creating enemies for them, or even driving Zhan Tianjian out of the game?
Feeling firm about his decision, Su Yu nodded. He couldn't let a traitor gain strength unchecked!
But here came the problem:
The Zhan Tian Guild had a good reputation and had a loyal following from "Magic Realm", which meant they had the support from the majority of ordinary players.
Unprovoked suppression of an upright guild would only tarnish his reputation and inspire sympathy from the ordinary players for the guild, making them even more determined.
So, how was he supposed to suppress the Zhan Tian Guild?
Su Yu fell deep into thought.
