The quality of the treasure chests I open will always increase by 3.

Lin Yuan was overjoyed.

Opening treasure chests can be quite addictive.

Even the "silver" treasure chest.

There were a few wandering zombies near the box, but he paid them no heed. He rushed over and, in a few swift moves, killed them.

Unfortunately, the experience points required to reach level 14 are too many!

Lin Yuan couldn't help but reminisce. There were so many monsters in the beginner area, so densely packed. That was a real treat!

Unfortunately, you can only level up to level 13 at most.

Ugh!

Lin Yuan composed himself and decisively opened the box.

You opened the tattered box yourself.

[Because of your Treasure Chest King talent, the broken chest has been upgraded to a Silver Treasure Chest.]

A flash of silver light, the box disappeared, and a piece of equipment appeared on the ground.

Good luck, a great start.

This is a cloak, entirely blood red, with only the edges occasionally shimmering with silver light.

Lin Yuan quickly reached out to check.

【Crimson Cloak (Silver, Bound)】

Constitution: +60

Strength: +8

Agility: +8

Special effect: After being attacked, there is a 10% chance to paralyze the attacker for 1 second.

Level required: 10

Is the special effect paralysis?

That's good. It can disrupt the opponent's attack rhythm. It's just that the trigger probability is a bit low. And although it wasn't explained, Lin Yuan knew that if he encountered a high-level player or monster, this special effect would not work, or the trigger probability would be further reduced.

After all, this is only silver-grade armor.

However, this is a low-level area, and there are no players above level 20. How could they be immune to the effects of the Crimson Cloak?

Lin Yuan first equipped the cloak, glanced at the slight increase in attributes, and smiled slightly.

Should we continue killing monsters, or move to another location?

With his strength, killing level 13 monsters is too inefficient for him to gain experience points; he should go kill slimes instead.

After all, his main purpose was the box.

Now that I have the chest, there's no need to continue leveling up here.

Take another route, fighting monsters along the way to get out.

It's just a matter of one hit anyway, why not take the free experience?

Lin Yuan took a different path, hacking and slashing his way through. Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly noticed that a zombie that had been wandering aimlessly in front of him had suddenly collapsed to the ground, and a slender human figure emerged from the shadows.

assassin!

Lin Yuan immediately thought to himself.

In the game SuperStar, players are roughly divided into four types: Warrior, Assassin, Archer, and Spellcaster.

Based on his talent, he is definitely a warrior type, focusing on frontal combat, able to withstand attacks and deal damage. Assassins, on the other hand, are like the killers from last night, lurking in the darkness, suddenly appearing with a single strike. They have strong burst damage and can kill instantly. If they miss, they immediately flee. Their weakness is that they are fragile and can easily be killed by warrior-type players of the same level and equipment in a head-on confrontation.

They can play dirty tricks, popping up to stab you from time to time, and that warrior-type player will be slowly worn down to death, without even knowing who killed them!

Archers use bows, guns, crossbows, etc., to attack from a distance. They are also very thin-skinned and unlike assassins, they are not good at hiding their tracks. Their advantage is ranged output. They can kite enemies by keeping their distance. If their agility is not high, even warriors can be worn down to death at full health.

A spellcaster is someone who attacks with spells, and can be further divided into lightning spells, fire spells, ice spells, etc.

Among spellcasters, there is a very small chance of finding a life restorer who can revive people, but their numbers are pitifully small, and every faction will do its best to cultivate them.

Because you only have one life!

A player's profession is not determined by themselves, but by their talent.

Basically, talent determines a player's future development direction.

Therefore, talent is indeed the most important factor.

Lin Yuan looked at the assassin, and the assassin looked at her as well.

This is a young girl, probably a newcomer this year. She is dressed in all black, with her hair tied in a braid that sticks up at one end before falling down, blending seamlessly with her black clothes. Her appearance... is very beautiful, no, it should be said that she is extremely beautiful, not inferior to Su Yunmeng at all.

His chest bulged high, drawing attention.

Lin Yuan was slightly surprised, because the girl had killed the zombie with a single strike.

It was a level 13 monster, you thought? You killed it in one hit?

The assassin's explosive power was indeed astonishing, but to kill someone with a single strike... meant that this girl must be wearing level 10 black iron armor, and perhaps even possessed amazing talent.

Lin Yuan was only slightly surprised.

Against his physique, even the strongest explosive power will be greatly reduced, and may even be unable to break through his defenses!

He kept walking forward without changing his pace.

The two passed each other.

However, after Lin Yuan walked a few more meters, the girl suddenly spoke up: "This is a level 13 monster area. You're carrying a shield, so you should be a warrior type. A warrior actually managed to go deep into the zombie cave; it looks like you've already gone through it once—you're very strong!"

Lin Yuan smiled and said, "You can kill a level 13 monster in an instant, so you're quite strong."

The girl was very aloof, with the demeanor of an ice queen, keeping everyone at arm's length: "My game name is 'Ice Shadow.' Add me as a friend, maybe we can do dungeons together."

As she spoke, she brought up her dating profile.

As long as Lin Yuan also logs out, they can become friends by exchanging messages.

Lin Yuan thought for a moment and brought up the friend-making panel as well. The two became friends as soon as they touched each other.

"You are Qingfeng!" The girl immediately showed a look of shock, never expecting that the young man in front of her was the Qingfeng who had become famous in the past two days.

Level 13! That breaks a record that's been standing for over 80 years!

After becoming friends, Lin Yuan could also see the girl's level: Level 11!

That's quite an exaggeration.

After all, Su Yunmeng was only level 10.

"Keep in touch." Lin Yuan waved and continued forward.

The girl watched his figure disappear before turning her gaze away. The look of surprise on her face had vanished, and her figure gradually became transparent, merging into the darkness. A few seconds later, a zombie suddenly collapsed to the ground.

……

Lin Yuan hurried towards the pool.

For the rest of the day, he spent his time here farming slimes and running dungeons.

After the game merges with reality, the NPCs in the game have disappeared. There are no NPCs to give out quests, so leveling up can only be done by killing monsters. However, the monster respawn rate has become extremely slow, but the experience required to level up is extremely high, resulting in a level taking about a month.

That's ridiculously slow!

When is the martial arts exam?

One month later!

Normally, after level 10, you can only level up once more.

Lin Yuan's goal is level 20... This is almost an impossible task!

But it's almost impossible.

Because he can also solo dungeons, firstly he can monopolize the experience from all the monsters in the dungeon, and secondly, he can get a very high rating, which can earn him extra rewards!

For example, experience points.

Moreover, the game is stingy, rarely giving out equipment or items, but giving experience points is the most common thing it provides.

He has a chance to reach level 20!
