"Ding~ Congratulations to the player for killing a Skeleton Mage, experience +125."
Two hours later, as a large number of players flooded into Left 2 Mine in search of leveling spots, Jiang Yan had leisurely cleared out all the Skeleton Mages in the enclosed mine!
Over two hundred Skeleton Mages, successfully allowing Jiang Yan to level up twice!
With 8 free attribute points, Jiang Yan followed his usual routine and added them all to Spirit.
In addition, he also collected 167 Silver Coins and eight pieces of Common Mage Gear!
Three pieces of [Wailing Legguards] (Common): Magic Attack +3, Requirement: Mage, Priest! (Collect three pieces of Wailing Gear for an additional +2 Magic Attack, six pieces for an additional +5 Magic Attack, and nine pieces for an additional +9 Magic Attack!)
One piece of [Wailing Leather Armor] (Common): Magic Attack +3, Requirement: Mage, Priest! (Omitted)
Two pieces of [Wailing Armguards] (Common): Magic Attack +3, Requirement: Mage, Priest! (Omitted)
One [Wailing Ring] (Common): Magic Attack +3, Requirement: Mage, Priest! (Omitted)
One [Wailing Helmet] (Common): Magic Attack +3, Requirement: Mage, Priest! (Omitted)
The character's equipment slots can hold 9 regular pieces: Weapon, Armor, Helmet, two Armguards, two Legguards, and two Rings!
Cloaks and Necklaces are special equipment and do not count towards the regular equipment slots.
In Jiang Yan's nine equipment slots, he already had a [Bronze Staff] and [A Fang's Magic Leather Armor], so from the eight pieces of Wailing Gear, he only equipped [Wailing Legguards] *2, [Wailing Armguards] *2, [Wailing Ring], and [Wailing Helmet]!
Six pieces of Wailing Gear, just enough to activate the six-piece set bonus of +5 Magic Attack.
"My Magic Attack is now..."
Jiang Yan excitedly opened his character panel:

The skill damage of Lightning Bolt reaches 433.2 (114*380% skill damage bonus)
Critical Damage is 1732.8 (433.2*400% critical damage bonus)!!
"With my current attributes, I should be just about able to solo that Bronze Boss, the Mutant Tiger King!"
The Mutant Tiger King's magic resistance is 80, and a single Lightning Bolt from him can deal 353 damage, with critical damage being 1412!
The Mutant Tiger King has 10,000 HP, and he only needs to land 7 critical hits to take it down steadily!
I wonder what kind of equipment the Bronze Boss will drop!
Jiang Yan gripped his Bronze Staff tightly, ready to leave immediately.
But as he took two steps, he saw the ground not far away crack, and more Skeleton Mages emerged.
Have they respawned?
Should he level up a bit more, and wait until level 8 to kill the Mutant Tiger King?
Jiang Yan hesitated, but his hands didn't slow down, immediately chanting Lightning Bolt.
Boom!
A bolt of lightning struck down. This chapter is updated first at g.com.
-1732
A scarlet critical damage number jumped out from the Skeleton Mage's head.
"Ding~ Congratulations to the player for killing a Skeleton Mage, experience +125."
The Skeleton Mage collapsed into a pile of bones, and Jiang Yan, sharp-eyed, noticed a bronze glow beneath the skeleton.
"Did a Bronze Mage Gear drop?!"
Jiang Yan was overjoyed and rushed over, only to find an ancient-looking Bronze Key after a search.
Damn!
He thought it was equipment!
Jiang Yan was speechless, but then he froze in place!
A Bronze Key?!
Jiang Yan's pupils contracted.
[Bronze Key]: A key to open a Bronze Chest.
A Bronze Chest?
The Bronze Chest in Right 3 Mine?
Goodness, this is too ridiculous, the two mines are miles apart, and the key to open the chest drops here!!
Jiang Yan was both shocked and delighted, immediately changing his mind and deciding to head to Right 3 Mine to open the chest first!
...
Meanwhile.
Qing Yanwu, a core player of Drunken Beauties, also successfully reached level 5 and rushed to Left 2 Mine at the first opportunity.
But when she arrived, she found the entrance to Left 2 Mine blocked!
"Prosperous Dynasty has claimed this spot for mining, if you want to fight monsters or mine, go to other mines!!" Golden Rat led a hundred Prosperous Dynasty players, arrogantly blocking the entrance to Left 2 Mine.
Although these hundred players were all level 2, their numbers were overwhelming.
Qing Yanwu's heart sank: "Has someone discovered that leveling spot?"
She immediately opened the Game Forum, searched for Novice Village No. 142857, and instantly a flood of posts appeared, with two popular ones: one about Prosperous Dynasty hunting a solo player named Jiang Taigong, and another revealing that a high-level leveling spot was hidden deep in Left 2 Mine, already occupied, with several pieces of suspected Bronze Equipment dropped!
"It seems there are other Closed Beta Players in this Novice Village besides me!"
Otherwise, at this stage, not to mention grinding at that leveling spot, it would be hard to even find it!
Qing Yanwu thought for a moment, then turned and headed to Right 3 Mine.
"Left, right, right, left, left, left, right, right, center, left, center..." Following the familiar path through the intersections, Qing Yanwu killed monsters as she advanced, reaching the location of the Bronze Chest in well under an hour!
"Found it, still unopened!" Qing Yanwu looked at the Bronze Chest, half-hidden in darkness, a cold light flashing in her eyes: "I want to see just who it is that managed to get one step ahead of me!"
She silently hid in the shadows, waiting patiently.
