Chapter 7 - Leveling With Ease






Red Leaf Forest was made up of beautiful maple trees . Level 5 monsters roamed around the woods . To a player below Level 3, this was a restricted area . Shi Feng, as well, was no match for these Level 5 monsters, even though he had reached Level 1 .

However, Shi Feng ran into the Red Leaf Forest without hesitation . Cautiously, he advanced towards the inner reaches of the forest .

Level 5 Forest Wolves could be seen patrolling around the woods from time to time . Shi Feng was currently just Level 1 . If he did not stay a sufficient distance away from them, the Forest Wolf’s sensitive nose would smell him out .

A Level 5 Forest Wolf had 400 HP . It also had high Attack Power . It would only take two bites from the wolf for Shi Feng’s 120 HP to meet its end .

Shi Feng’s only option was to stealthily avoid the Forest Wolves, taking a big detour around them .

Aside from the Forest Wolves, Shi Feng also met with adorable Bear Cubs . The little cubs fumbled and tumbled around on the grassy plains, giving an innocent and cute look . However, they were still Level 5 monsters, and they were hated by melee players . This was because of their high HP and Defense, making a fight with the Cubs very exhausting .

As Shi Feng used a tree to route past a Bear Cub, he heard a wolf’s howl coming from behind him .

“Damn! A wolf den!” As calm as Shi Feng was, he still couldn’t help but call out .

In his previous life, many players came in parties to the Red Leaf Forest . Most of them were Level 4 or 5 . Aside from grinding a large number of monsters, the main reason players came here was because of the bountiful loot . Skill books, leatherworking materials, and equipment were such examples . There were also a large amount of herbs and ore that were attainable in the forest . However, a single mishap could still cause a party-wipe in the Red Leaf Forest . One of the dangers that caused such situations were wolf dens .

A wolf den was hidden and hard to notice . If players did not pay close attention, a pack of Forest Wolves would pounce forth once the players entered the wolf den’s area of alertness . If less, there would be 3 to 5 wolves; if more, 6 to 8 . It was a party-wipe trap .

Shi Feng’s luck was bad . All at once, 7 Forest Wolves rushed out of the den; the meat on Shi Feng’s body wasn’t enough for them to share .

The speed of the Forest Wolves was fast, but Shi Feng wasn’t slow either . With his attribute points all going into Agility, his Movement Speed was at 6 points . He was still a Level 1 Swordsman, in the end . Even if he was a pure Agility one, his speed was still a notch slower than the Forest Wolves .

Seeing the wolves catching up, Shi Feng stopped caring as he activated the lifesaving skill, ‘Gravity Liberation’ .

Shi Feng suddenly felt his body becoming as light as a feather . His speed increased by a massive leap, easily shaking off the Forest Wolves behind him .

In the end, a common monster was still a common one . They gave up after chasing past a set area, allowing Shi Feng to keep his life .





After running for over ten minutes, Shi Feng arrived at a range of mountains and hills . Several mountains stood over a hundred meters, located in the central region of Red Leaf Forest . The top of the mountains was surrounded by clouds and mist, creating a scene of immortal lands .

“Finally arrived . ”

Shi Feng looked towards the towering mountain and its surroundings . Discovering a waterfall, he walked towards it .

In his previous life, players were mostly over Level 20, so their attributes were naturally high . They could do much more than they could while they were low leveled . Many loved exploring the myriad of places in God’s Domain . The central region of Red Leaf Forest was one of the famous places, so Shadow Workshop had sent a small party of Assassins to investigate .

Never would they have thought to find a treasure mountain there . On one of the mountains, they discovered many items: rare ore, herbs, and even Treasure Chests . At the peak of the mountain, there was a Secret-Silver Treasure Chest .

There were many secretive places in the wild of God’s Domain . Most of these places housed Treasure Chests, awaiting to be discovered by players . The items within Treasure Chests varied considerably, ranging from Copper Coins to Dark-Gold Equipment .

The quality of Treasure Chests could be categorized into Common, Bronze, Mysterious-Iron, Secret-Silver, Fine-Gold, and Dark-Gold . However, even the loot from a Common Treasure Chest could rival the drops of Elite monsters . Not to even mention how good the loot from a Secret-Silver Treasure Chest could be .

This Secret-Silver Treasure Box quickly allowed Shadow to become a well-known Workshop in White River City . This allowed Shadow to amass quite a fortune during the initial periods of the game .

More than just equipment, the Secret-Silver Treasure Chest had a secret recipe for pharmaceutics and a Forging Design .

In God’s Domain, the drop rate of pharmaceutical recipes was not even ten thousand to one; it was even lower for a Forging Design . You could create Bronze ranked equipment using Forging Designs, something sorely needed by players . With it, making money would become a simple task .

Shi Feng’s plan to earn 16,000 Credits within ten days all depended on the design . So naturally, he wouldn’t be leaving it for Shadow Workshop . However, low leveled players without 40 Agility were unable to activate the Hidden Basic Ability [Flying Steps] . Without it, they had no way of climbing the rocky mountain . There were also no paths that led up the mountain, leaving rock climbing as the only option .

Although Shi Feng did not have forty points in Agility, he had the Ring of Gravity . He could still climb the mountain after activating it .

Shi Feng easily scaled up the mountain after activating Gravity Liberation . He was already 5 meters up after a few moments .

When Gravity Liberation had 5 seconds remaining, Shi Feng found an empty spot of land to rest while waiting for Gravity Liberation’s cooldown .

Not long after Shi Feng sat down, the rock wall suddenly shook . A [Rock Giant] appeared with bursts of roaring .

[Rock Giant] (Common Monster)

Level 5





HP 550

“That was quick . ”

Shi Feng had long since been ready when he saw the Rock Giant walking over . He took out an Explosive Berry from his bag and threw it towards the Rock Giant’s feet; sticky orange colored juice erupted all over the ground .

As a Level 5 monster, the Rock Giant had extremely high Attack Power, HP, and Defense . However, it had low Attack Speed and reaction time . Its body’s turn rate was even slower . A player only needed 20 points in Agility to easily toy with the Rock Giant . There were plenty of Assassins who loved dealing with such dumb monsters . They could easily be killed without wasting a single HP .

Although Shi Feng did not have 20 Agility, he had the Explosive Berries . Each had an effective area of 3- x 3-yards, reducing Movement Speed by 30%, and turn rate by 70% for one minute . It was a godly tool used to counter dumb monsters . Two months after God’s Domain started, a lot of players would use such a method to kill high leveled monsters that were slow-moving . However, such slow-moving monsters existed in limited numbers in God's Domain, so grinding on them for quick levels was not possible .

The Rock Giant’s speed sharply reduced after being hit by the Explosive Berry .

Shi Feng pulled out his Novice Sword and rushed towards the Rock Giant’s back, chopping down at it .

Above the Rock Giant’s head, three points of damage appeared . It was a hardly mentionable damage when compared to its 550 HP . The Rock Giant also regenerated 1% of its HP every 5 seconds; that was 5 . 5 HP every 5 seconds . It was very challenging to kill it within a minute .


The Rock Giant tried to turn around when Shi Feng attacked it . However, its body’s turn rate was slow, to begin with . Now that there was an extra 70% speed reduction, it was just abominably slow . Shi Feng attacked it twice more, following up with another [Chop], causing a series of -3, -3, -6 to appear .

The effect of Chop was not that great due to the level suppression . However, because the Rock Giant was 4 Levels higher, there was an additional bonus towards Skill Proficiency . Coupled with one of the Swordsman’s natural Talents, a single usage had increased Chop’s SP by 3 points .

 This was an absolute location for raising Skill Proficiency .

After much trouble, the Rock Giant turned around to face off against Shi Feng . However, Shi Feng did not give it any chance, quickly circling to its back where he continued attacking .

Thundering Flash!

Suddenly, a single sword light caused 4 damage, followed by another that dealt 5 damage, and the last one that dealt 7 damage .

After all three streaks of thunder hit its mark, Thundering Flash’s SP increased by 3 points .

Another few slashes followed .  

A series of -4, -4, -4 damage was dealt . Though each strike only had an increase of 1 damage, the totaled up damage would still be great . Although the effect of Thundering Flash lasted only for fifteen seconds, it had greatly increased the speed of killing the Rock Giant . The battle could be ended within a single minute now, saving up a precious Explosive Berry .





Even if the Rock Giant had high HP and Attack, it was no different than a practice dummy if it couldn’t land a hit on Shi Feng . It was just giving Shi Feng EXP and SP .

Skill Proficiency could not be increased just by using the skill . When using it on a monster of the same level, there was a 20% chance to increase it by one point . For monsters of a higher level, there was a 40% chance if it was one level higher, 70% for two levels, 100% for three levels, 150% for four levels, and 200% for five levels . The maximum limit was 200% .

Now that Shi Feng was killing a Level 5 Rock Giant, his SP increased several times the rate of others .

Not even a full minute had gone by before the Rock Giant finally fell .

System: Level 5 Rock Giant killed . Level difference of 4 . EXP obtained increased by 400% . Obtained 120 EXP .

Shi Feng’s EXP bar increased by a chunk . He was now 880 EXP away from Level 2 . That meant he needed to kill another 8 Rock Giants to reach Level 2 .

These mountains in the central region were a great place for leveling up and looking for treasure . Unfortunately, two months had passed before people discovered them .

Shi Feng searched the Rock Giant’s body after killing it, obtaining a [Bronze Ore] . It was a material used to make Bronze Equipment . He also acquired a piece of [Hard Stone] . Subsequently, Shi Feng searched around the empty land . A few moments later he found a rare herb called [Hundred Souls Flower] . It was one of the core materials used to make [Basic Regeneration Potion] .

Just as he got close to it, another Rock Giant spawned . Shi Feng threw out another Explosive Berry .

Thundering Flash!

Chop!

In just a short moment, Shi Feng obtained another Hard Stone, 120 EXP and a large amount of SP .

Shi Feng continued climbing up when the cooldown finished on the Ring of Gravity .

On his way up, he searched for rare herbs while killing Rock Giants .

Following the fall of the 8th Rock Giant, Shi Feng became Level 2 . He added all his points into Agility, letting it reach 16 points . He was just 4 points away from unlocking [Fast And Nimble] . The SP for Chop has also reached 300 points, raising the skill to Level 2; the next level required 600 SP . The skill now increased damage by 12 points, and its cooldown was reduced by 1 second .

The other players would go crazy if they found out about Shi Feng’s leveling speed . Just going from Level 0 to Level 1 required more than a handful of hours . As for going from Level 1 to 2, at the very least, doing so would require seven or eight hours . Shi Feng spent less than twenty minutes to reach Level 2 . His leveling speed was like a rocket launching .

Shi Feng walked towards a dead Rock Giant and searched it .

“Seems like my luck isn’t bad at all . It even dropped equipment . ” Shi Feng discovered a piece of Cloth Armor, though he was somewhat disappointed .

[Gorgeous Cloth-Shirt] (Common Equipment)

Level 4

Defense +3

Mana +10

Durability 20/20

God’s Domain had just started operating . The drop rate of equipment was extremely low . Common Equipment was extremely rare, especially a Level 4 Common Equipment . There was definitely someone who would buy it at a high price .

Shi Feng placed the equipment into his bag . Just as he was about to continue upwards, he suddenly noticed a cave not far ahead .

When he walked over to check, Shi Feng’s heart rate quickened .

Shi Feng spotted a huge Rock Giant sleeping within the cave . Its entire body was made up of silvery rocks, different from the normal gray-colored ones .

[Shrews] (Special Elite)

Level 6

HP 900

Special Elites were a lot stronger than normal Elites . A regular Elite monster could decimate a 6-man-party of the same level . However, a Special Elite required twelve players of the same level to deal with, maybe even fifteen players . That meant Shrews required fifteen Level 6 players working together to kill .

However, Shi Feng rushed ahead without hesitation . He used Thundering Flash immediately, causing ray after ray of thunder to cut across Shrews’ huge body .

Damages of -1, -2, -3 appeared above Shrews’ head .
