The King Of Passive Skills

System announcement: Congratulations to Storm of the World for being the first to leave the novice village. Skill points +10, merit points +100, and obtained the title of Forerunner.

System announcement: As there are already players leaving the novice village, a new map has been opened. Cities of the Seven Countries have been opened. Each country has a total of three subsidiary cities and one imperial city. In addition, both the east and the west capital of Great Zhou have been opened to players. Players are welcome to head to the various cities after level 10 to contribute to the development of the human race.

“F*ck, I finally know where to go after the novice village. This is the bad thing about the New World. Players have to explore everything by themselves,” Thousand Miles Riding Alone ed.

“Then which country do we go to in the future? Regarding the cities, there should be a fixed city, right?”

“Let’s wait and see. Boss World should be announcing soon. By the way, this reward is really strong. It’s +10 skill points. It’s completely possible to max out a skill point. It’s really not a waste for us to help him farm it.”

On the World channel...

Storm of the World: The Storm Guild has moved into Dangyang City in the country of Chu. We welcome those with the ambition to join us and explore the New World.

God of War Li Jing: Brother World, don’t be so fast. I’m just a little short of experience.

Domineering King: I’ve already reached level 10 and I am running back to the novice village. The setting that the novice village can not directly return to the city is really stupid.

Carefree King: King, you can just lie down and go back. It’s not slower than returning to the city, hehe.

Fearless River and Mountain: I’ve been messed up by the trash talent. I haven’t reached level 10 yet. Wait for me.

Following Storm of the World entered the city first, the world channel instantly exploded. Although it cost one gold coin to send a world chat, at this time, the New World had already opened for an entire day. Even Zhang Shan had three to four gold coins now, not to mention these big shots. Spending one gold coin to chat on the world channel was without pressure at all. However, there was no second message. After all, the second message cost 10 gold coins. It was too expensive. Currently, no one should be so extravagant.

“Awoo! I want to reach level 10 immediately and visit all the 30 cities!” Thousand Miles Riding Alone said excitedly when he saw the announcement.

There were actually 30 cities in the New World. This would be interesting. Of course, this would be better. More cities would help split up the players. Otherwise, with so many players gathered in a few cities, the competition would be very intense.

“Come on, you still want to visit all 30 cities? Just now, my brother told me that teleporting to the other sub-cities in the country costs 10 gold coins, 100 gold coins to the imperial city, and 1,000 gold coins to the cities in other countries. As for going to the east and the west capital, both costs 10,000 gold coins. With such an expensive teleportation fee, where can you go? You can’t be running over there, right?” Wind-Blowing Wind Chime’s merciless strike had shattered the dream of Thousand Miles Riding Alone.

“F*ck, is that so? Is the teleportation fee so expensive? Not to mention now, even in the later stages, no one would teleport to a foreign country or both the capitals for no reason. Who could afford 1000 or 10,000 gold coins a time?” Zhang Shan was also shocked by the teleportation fee.

“Don’t worry, since the New World can teleport to foreign countries and both the capitals, there must be some way to attract the use by the players, such as activities or quests. This teleportation fee is probably a way for the operator to consume and recover game coins.” Wind Chimes said.

...

‘Farm quickly, farm quickly, and leave the novice village as soon as possible.’

Next, the four of them farmed monsters separately to level up. Zhang Shan and Little Secretary were in a team, while Wind Chimes and Thousand Miles Riding Alone formed another. This way, the efficiency became better.

Zhang Shan calculated the experience. He estimated that he would get less than 20,000 EXP in an hour. He should be able to level up to level 10 in three hours. It would be about the same time when it was 12 o’clock at night. As for Little Secretary and Thousand Miles Riding Alone, they had dropped back to level 8 when they fought the boss just now. They would need to spend another two to three hours.

Time slowly passed. By 11 o’clock at night, Wind Chime had first leveled up to level 10.

“I’ve leveled up. Thousand Miles, go hang out with Little Secretary and the others. I’m going to Dangyang City, haha.” Wind Chimes said happily.

“I’m about to level up soon, too. Thousand Miles and Little Secretary, you two play with the goats later, hehe.” Zhang Shan was also about to level up.

Thousand Miles Riding Alone and Little Secretary originally did not have the experience from the boss, to begin with. They also lost experience when they died, so their total experience was 50,000 to 60,000 less than Zhang Shan and the others. Zhang Shan could not keep farming with them.

Not long after Wind Chimes left, Zhang Shan had also leveled up to level 10.

“Brothers, I’m leaving first. You guys do your best, hehe.”

Thousand Miles Riding Alone, “Heartless.”

Little Secretary, ” ... You go first. I need to stay up late tonight. I’ll sleep after I reach level 10.”

Zhang Shan strode towards the direction of the novice village. At the same time, he replaced the level 1 trash equipment. The five of them had fought level 10 monsters for so long, and a lot of level 10 equipment had been dropped. Moreover, only Zhang Shan was Agility-type. With this, Zhang Shan basically had all the level 10 equipment he needed. Although they were all trash white-tier items with one or two pieces of green equipment, they were still much better than the level 1 white-tier equipment.

The most important thing was the Exquisite Musket that the boss had dropped. Now, he could finally equip it.

He changed into the Exquisite Musket, the level 10 white-tier Leather Armor, the white-tier hat, the green bracers, as well as two rings and necklaces. They were all green as well. He could finally change his weapon.

He then checked the attributes.

Equipment: Exquisite Musket, Elven Leather Boots, Exquisite Iron Necklace, Exquisite Iron Ring, Leather Armor, Leather Hat, Leather Wrist Guard.

Other than his HP, the other attributes were considered very good for Zhang Shan. Especially when his attack power had reached over 200 points. His strength had soared.

...

He still lacked a cape and a special item to complete it. White-tier equipment only had a single effect. Green and above would add some attribute points. For example, Zhang Shan’s white-tier Leather Armor only added seven points of defense, and his hat only added a small amount of defense. The other green equipment gave him an additional two or three points of agility, which was not bad.

There was no need to consider changing equipment for the time being. The cape production was too low. The five of them had been farming for an entire day, but they had not seen a single one. Little Secretary had been buying non-stop, but he had not been able to buy any. Perhaps none had dropped in the entire novice village, it was hard to say. As for special items, there was no need to consider them. It was unknown if the entire new world had dropped any.

Zhang Shan jogged all the way. Occasionally, he could see many players fighting to level up. Although it was already past 11 p.m., it was still the first day of the game. There were still many people who were working late.

When he passed by the rabbit map, there was not a single player on the entire map. After all, everyone had already leveled up. There would not be anyone who would be so bored that they would still be farming level 2 monsters. Looking at the rabbits all over the ground, Zhang Shan’s hands were a little itchy.

‘D*mn it, let’s try again to clear all the rabbits on the map.’ If he still could not get the Bestowing Power, then forget it. Anyway, with his current attack power, he only needed to hit the rabbit once. Moreover, there were still many overflows. It would not take much time to clear all of them.

Zhang Shan just went ahead to do it. He transformed into the rabbit killer again and moved quickly in the rabbit map. His killing speed was much faster than the rabbit’s spawning speed. Slowly, the rabbits on the map became fewer and fewer.

Suddenly, after a rabbit fell to the ground, a system notification sounded. Zhang Shan almost did not notice it.

System notification: Your talent, Passive King, has been triggered by killing a demonized rabbit. You will automatically receive the Bestowing Power (passive) skill.

Haha!

Zhang Shan was overjoyed. Originally, he did not have much hope. According to the one in a million chance, theoretically speaking, he would need to farm a million monsters before his talent could be triggered. As he could not stay in the novice village forever, he didn’t expect his luck to explode. He quickly checked his skill’s attributes.

Bestowing Power (passive): Level 1(talent obtained, cannot be upgraded), increases the character’s attack power by 10%.

...

Zhang Shan checked his attack attributes again. As expected, it had already been upgraded to 222-244. This meant that he had an additional small attack equipment’s attributes. Moreover, the more he went on, the more he added. He was invincible.

“The rabbit’s passive has been pawned, hehe.” Zhang Shan said proudly on the team channel.

“His luck is so good!” Little Secretary was jealous.

“Shameless. You’re already level 10, yet you’re still farming rabbits in the novice village. How’s your skill? How much attack power have you gained? Is it a fixed value or a percentage?” Thousand Miles Riding Alone was even more jealous.

“An increase of 10% in attack power. Currently, it seems to have increased by 20 points. Hehe.”

“Awesome.”

“I’m going to find the village chief.”

Zhang Shan returned to the novice village and found the village chief.

“Young Hunter, congratulations on completing the growth trial. I hope you will continue to work hard to face the bigger challenges. Please choose the place you want to go.”

After looking at the choice of direction, he first chose the country. After leaving the novice village, he had to decide which country he wanted to go to. In the New World, there were seven countries altogether: Qin, Chu, Qi, Han, Zhao, Wei, and Yan. After choosing, he could not change it, which meant that he could not betray his country. He did not know if the stronger countries would become stronger in the future. As fewer players would go to the weaker countries, would they become weaker and weaker?

In the novice village, he could only teleport to the subsidiary city. Zhang Shan chose the country of Chu, and he teleported to the City of Dangyang. Teleportation cost one gold coin, it was not free. However, one gold coin was not expensive. As long as he did not spend money recklessly or sell game coins, the average player could afford to spend it when they reached level 10.
