“Hah, what’s wrong? You only got a team of two? Xiaowei, don’t die in the mystic realm with a man you don’t know!” Chen Han sneered when she saw Bai Han and Lin Yuwei.

However, this time, Bai Han stood up without waiting for Lin Yuwei to speak. He took the initiative to address Chen Han and her teammate who had ridiculed him for no reason, saying, “Why is there always a barking dog around?”

Chen Han was stunned. She obviously didn’t expect Bai Han to dare to talk back. Anger flashed in her eyes, but she quickly put on a delicate appearance and turned to the man behind her, holding his hand. “Brother Qiang, someone is scolding me!” she exclaimed.

Zhou Qiang, Chen Han’s teammate, who was wearing a full set of silver armor and a gold-grade weapon, immediately shot her a lecherous look. “Don’t worry, I’m here. Once we enter the Mystic Realm, I’ll teach them a lesson!” he boasted.

Chen Han’s expression froze as she realized that there were at least two to three hundred people waiting to enter the Mystic Realm. She and Zhou Qiang were not very familiar with each other, and along with another teammate, they were just a temporary team.

The two girls coveted Zhou Qiang’s equipment and wanted to take a gamble to break the record for a reward. As for what Zhou Qiang was after, it was needless to say.

Bai Han sneered inwardly and decided not to argue with them anymore. He pulled Lin Yuwei to the other side.

“Thank you!”

Lin Yuwei spoke out of the blue, prompting Bai Han to wave his hand nonchalantly. He had no obligation to stand up for her. It just so happened that he disliked Chen Han and Zhou Qiang.

“What’s the deal between you and that woman?” Bai Han asked curiously, but Lin Yuwei seemed embarrassed by the question. With a shrug, he added, “Just asking. If you don’t want to talk about it, forget I said anything.”

The door to the Mystic Plane opened as players rushed inside. Time was of the essence, as getting a head start could make a difference in finding the best spots to farm monsters. Despite this, Bai Han and Lin Yuwei took their time and were nearly the last to enter the Initial Mystic Realm.

The moment Bai Han stepped in, he felt a brief moment of weightlessness before the surroundings changed completely. They were now in the Demonized Forest, a vast expanse of trees and the occasional wild beast roar. Most of the players had already spread out into the forest, engaged in battle with the monsters.

Bai Han and Lin Yuwei exchanged glances before walking into the forest, where they encountered their first monster: a two-meter-tall python with red scales that opened its mouth and roared at them.

[Monster: Demonized Python]

[Level: Level 3]

[Health Points: 90]

[Attack: 120]

[Skill: Petrified Skin–Defense increased by 20% when HP is reduced to 50%]

Coincidentally, there was a team of four people around them who saw the giant python. They were so scared that their souls almost flew out of their bodies. They cursed their bad luck. They hadn’t gone too deep into the forest yet, and they had already encountered a Level 3 monster!

It was too late to run, because the python had already entered the aggro range and was quickly crawling over.

At this moment, the people from the small team saw the two of them and their faces lit up. They hurriedly shouted, “Hey! You guys over there. This monster’s level is too high for us to handle alone. Let’s team up and take it down. We’ll give you all the drops, we just want the experience!”

Bai Han almost cursed when he heard that. Who didn’t know the drop rate in the Mystic Realm? Only Boss-level monsters would have a 100% chance of dropping equipment. Although this python’s level was high, it was still an ordinary monster. Who knew if it would drop anything?

Bai Han was annoyed by their offer. “No need, you guys can leave. We’ll take care of it,” he replied. Then he and Lin Yuwei approached the giant python.

As soon as the four people saw Bai Han and Lin Yuwei take out their magic staffs and attack the Level 3 python, their initial panic turned into amusement. They couldn’t believe that two Level 0 rookies, wielding only staffs, would attempt to challenge such a powerful monster.

They were convinced that the duo was about to become cannon fodder, offering themselves up for the benefit of others. They agreed silently among themselves that if the two managed to grind down 40% of the python’s HP before dying, they would swoop in and take the spoils.

However, their amusement quickly turned to shock as they watched the two novices deliver powerful blows to the python’s head with their staffs. The four spectators burst into laughter at the sight of the duo, who seemed to have no actual skills beyond basic staff attacks.

But in the blink of an eye, their smiles disappeared as they saw two huge numbers appear above the python’s head after the staff strikes.

-50

-45

Incredibly, the python’s total HP was only 90, and it died instantly without even mounting a counterattack. The four spectators were stunned by the duo’s overwhelming damage.

The four present were all combat-oriented jobs with Strength attributes at 10 points. However, there was one person among them who was exceptionally talented. His Intelligence was only at 2 points, but his Strength was at 13 points.

While one point of strength could increase two points of attack power, the novice weapon with an attribute of attack power +5 meant that the person with the highest strength could only cause 31 points of damage with a normal attack, without considering the defense.

But the two people in front of them were different…

Novice weapons had the same attributes, so the strength of these two was more than 20?

Impossible!

Did this Level-3 python have negative defense or something? How was it possible for a Level 0 newbie, let alone a Mage class characters, to inflict such high damage?

The four of them felt like they were in a dream, but their worldview was shattered in the next second. As the python’s corpse fell to the ground, it turned into a ball of white light and exploded, dropping many items.

BOOOOOM!

It was a big explosion, something that usually only appeared on elite monsters and bosses. Yet it had happened with an ordinary monster, which wasn’t in the guide.

Did the game have a bug that invaded reality?

If Bai Han knew what they were thinking, he would probably say that there was no bug, but he had a cheat. With the double buff of the basic buff, Bai Han’s attribute points had reached 15 points, including a terrifying 20 points of strength. What’s more, his basic buff worked on equipment, so a novice weapon that could only increase attack by 5 points would increase attack by 15 points in his hands.

It was also due to this that Bai Han’s normal attack caused 50 points of damage, while Lin Yuwei’s and his basic attributes and equipment attributes were roughly the same. However, they had triggered the giant python’s passive defense skill, so her damage output was five points lower than Bai Han’s.

Despite this, the two of them still easily killed the Level 3 monster.

[Demonized Python killed. Obtained 25 EXP. Killed monsters above your level. Obtained double EXP!]

The notification popped up on Bai Han and Lin Yuwei’s screens,

informing them that they had received double rewards for defeating an opponent

of a higher level, granting them 50 experience points each.

Their level 0 experience bar was now halfway filled, a feat that left them in awe. What astounded them even more was the massive amount of loot they received from the ordinary monster’s corpse.

Could this be the result of their ten points in Luck and the ten times increased drop rate?

The effect seemed to be more significant than they had anticipated.

The duo quickly gathered the items dropped by the monster and briskly left, paying no attention to the four stunned bystanders. Once they reached a secluded area, they meticulously inspected each of the items they had obtained.

[Equipment: Snakeskin Wrist Guard (Bronze); Basic Attributes: Strength +4, Intelligence +8; Equipment Requirement: Level 1]

[Equipment: Snakeskin Boots (Bronze); Basic Attributes: Defense +20, Agility +5; Equipment Requirement: Level 1]

[Equipment: Snake Skin Cape (Bronze); Basic Attributes: Defense

+30, Constitution +7; Equipment Requirement: Level 1]

[Equipment: Venom Fang Dagger (Silver); Basic Attributes: Attack +35.;

Special Attribute: 30% chance to poison the enemy for 15 seconds, reducing 3 HP

per second; Equipment Requirement: Level 1]

A mere Level 3 monster had dropped four pieces of equipment, including a Silver-grade weapon! If he didn’t take anything else into account, these rewards alone were nearly equivalent to what others would achieve in this mystic realm in four or five days!
