Shocking!
You never know until you see it, and once you do, it's astonishing.
The drop rate in this Mountains, Rivers, and Realms game is outrageously low!
If not for possessing the Myriad Reset talent, the probability of a double drop just now would have been nearly zero.
Jiang Yun couldn't help but sigh; this is the advantage of having a god-tier talent!
This Ghost Eye Insight is truly a treasure. With this skill, you can check in advance what equipment you want to drop and then prepare enough Mana Potions to slowly refresh.
In this way, by exploiting the talent, you can almost get whatever you want.
Just thinking about it is exhilarating!
However, the only Mana Potion in hand was used up, so Jiang Yun could only sit cross-legged on the spot to meditate, which could speed up the recovery of his Mana.
Once his Mana was fully restored, he resumed his actions.
But he didn't rush to complete the task; instead, he decided to level up first to enhance his attributes.
Next, Jiang Yun took the initiative to hunt down the Greenskin Beast Ghosts one by one.
With the experience from the previous kills and his preemptive advantage, the battles became increasingly smooth.
Usually, he could take one down in a minute, needing to use the Falling Rock Spell two to three times per Greenskin Beast Ghost.
But the lack of Mana was a critical weakness, requiring meditation to recover Mana after almost every kill, so the efficiency wasn't high.
Meditating to recover was extremely slow and time-consuming, but being new to the game, he was too poor to do otherwise.
During this time, Jiang Yun tried the talent reset effect once or twice, but luck wasn't on his side; the results were mediocre, wasting 40 precious Mana points.
Therefore, he temporarily stopped relying on the talent to save Mana and stopped using it.
Finally, after more than forty minutes, he successfully leveled up.
"[Congratulations on leveling up, you have gained 5 Unallocated Attribute Points.]"
At this moment, Jiang Yun had exactly 20 Mana points left, just enough to use the Myriad Reset talent once.
He was curious about what would happen if he used the talent reset after leveling up and wasn't satisfied with the attribute increase.
He only had one chance for now, as his Mana was only enough for one use.
Without hesitation, Jiang Yun used the talent.
"[Myriad Reset successful, your level is now 1, and you have gained 6 Unallocated Attribute Points. Confirm?]"
Gaining an extra attribute point was truly exciting!
If luck was on his side and he refreshed to get Lucky Stars Shine or even Heavenly Fortune, wouldn't the attribute points from leveling up double?
In that case, leveling up once would be equivalent to several levels for others, making him incredibly powerful!
Since he couldn't refresh again due to lack of Mana, Jiang Yun didn't dwell on it and chose to accept this result.
Moreover, Jiang Yun had discovered a limitation of Myriad Reset: after using it, if he didn't refresh again or choose to accept within two minutes, the system would automatically assume he accepted the result.
Of course, whether he could infinitely refresh and get the best Heavenly Fortune when his level increased and he had enough sustainability was still unknown.
Only after leveling up could Jiang Yun figure this out.
Players can allocate attribute points to Strength, Intelligence, Constitution, Agility, and Spirit.
For Jiang Yun, who was a magic-based class, only Intelligence and Spirit were currently useful.
1 point of Intelligence increases Magic Attack by 3, and 1 point of Spirit increases Mana by 5 and provides minor resistance to control-type skills.
Although Mana was extremely scarce now, as a magic class, attack power must not be low, especially in the early stages.
Jiang Yun temporarily didn't allocate any points to Spirit; he put all 6 attribute points into Intelligence, directly increasing his Magic Attack by 18.
His personal attributes immediately changed:
[Character]: Grandpa Ghost
[Class]: Ghost Mage - Earth Attribute Specialist
[Level]: 1 (Frail Lesser Ghost)
[Health]: 97
[Mana]: 60
[Attack]: 37
[Defense]: 3.5
[Movement]: 2.2
With his current attributes, his efficiency in farming Greenskin Beast Ghosts could at least double.
But after leveling up, Jiang Yun helplessly found that the experience gained from defeating a Greenskin Beast Ghost was halved, down to 2 points.
And to reach level 2, he needed 150 experience points, requiring him to defeat 75 Greenskin Beast Ghosts to level up.
This was too exhausting, so Jiang Yun decided not to continue and instead went to complete the task.
The journey of 5 kilometers was neither too far nor too close.
More importantly, the wild monsters along the way gradually increased from level 1 to level 5.
Monsters at level 5 or higher could kill Jiang Yun with two slaps, forcing him to constantly detour and avoid them.
Thus, it took him nearly three hours to reach the task location.
The Yellow Springs Secluded Pool was about the size of a basketball court, surrounded by slopes, with water a ghostly yellow, constantly bubbling.
By the pool, there were several level 5 wild monsters the size of small cars—Ghost Great Ox!
Fortunately, Jiang Yun had used Ghost Eye Insight to observe that these big guys were gentle and wouldn't attack people, so he could safely approach.
Upon reaching the destination, Jiang Yun found a relatively stable spot to sit down, then took out the Ghost Village Chief's broken fishing hook, baited it with some of the Greenskin Beast Ghost's meat scraps he had collected earlier, and cast it into the pool.
However, at that moment, Jiang Yun sensed that outside his thatched hut in the underworld, some wandering souls seemed to be approaching.
Though the hut was dilapidated, it could still be temporarily inhabited, avoiding most of the harsh underworld climates, like the Three Calamities and Five Poisons.
Since Jiang Yun had taken over the place, after using some iron-fisted methods to intimidate, no wandering souls had dared to disturb him for thirty-one years, and today, some ghosts were actually bold enough to challenge him, which was simply courting death.
The underworld was even more ruthless than the human world; with money and power, you could do whatever you wanted.
Without money and power, you were worse than a dog!
This was truly a world where might made right.
Jiang Yun couldn't afford to lose this broken hut for now, so he immediately communicated with the system to log off.
Meanwhile.
Outside Jiang Yun's hut, a group of skulking, limbless, and battered wandering souls were inching closer.
"That old ghost has been gone for hours; could it be that he left after receiving incense and paper money from his descendants in the living world?"
"I don't know, but I've been watching inside for a long time, and I haven't seen him appear."
"Hey, old man from the Qing Dynasty, you're the oldest ghost here, so you shouldn't be afraid of him. Why don't you go in first and set an example for the other ghosts?"
A bespectacled, crooked-neck ghost coaxed an old ghost dressed in Qing Dynasty attire, missing a leg and an arm, with half of his chest gone.
"Pah, you bespectacled bastard are no good. I've got eleven years left on my underworld life sentence, after which I can reincarnate and escape this hellish underworld."
The Qing Dynasty ghost glared at the bespectacled ghost and continued, "I'm not stupid. You want to trick me into provoking that fiend? If you're so brave, why don't you go yourself?"
