My Dream After Having a Do Over Is To Become The Best Player - Chapter 7.1: Fresh Leveling

The [Red Leaf Forest] is composed of beautiful maple tree groves, where level 5 small monsters roam around. For players below level 3, it’s an absolute no-go zone. Even though Shi Feng is already at level 1, he is no match for level 3 monsters, let alone those that are of level 5.

However, Shi Feng rushed into the [Red Leaf Forest] without hesitation, carefully advancing deeper into the forest.

From time to time, he could see level 5 [Forest Wolves] patrolling around the forest. Shi Feng, being only level 1, would easily be detected by the keen sense of smell of the [Forest Wolves] if he didn’t maintain enough distance.

The [Forest Wolves] have 400 HP and strong attack power. With Shi Feng’s HP being only 120, he would be easily killed with just a couple of bites.

Shi Feng could only choose to quietly evade the [Forest Wolves] and take a detour.

Along the way, besides the [Forest Wolves], there were also adorable young bears rolling around on the grass. They appeared cute but were actually fierce. Although they were also level 5 monsters, in his previous life, not long after today, many melee players would find fighting bear-type monsters as something that is super troublesome due to their thick fur and high defense, making each battle exhausting.

Just as Shi Feng sneaked past the young bear using the cover of trees, he heard the howl of wolves behind him.

“Darn it, it’s a [Wolf Den]!” Even the calm Shi Feng couldn’t help but curse.

In the [Red Leaf Forest], even in the starting period of his previous life, many level 4 to 5 players teamed up to farm monsters. At that period of time, not only were there many monsters, but there’s also a lot of valuable drops such as skill books, leatherworking materials, and equipment. Additionally, there were plenty of herbs and ore to collect in the forest. However, one of the dangers was stumbling into a [Wolf Den].

The [Wolf Den] was extremely well hidden and difficult to find. If one wasn’t careful and got too close to the alert range of the den, a group of [Forest Wolves] would pounce upon the intruding player, and each time, the amount of wolf are ranging from 3 to 5 at the least, and 6 to 8 at the most, making it a trap for wiping out new players.

Shi Feng, despite being someone who obtained the chance to travel back into the past, was extremely unlucky. 7 [Forest Wolves] rushed out at once, which was more than he could handle.

Although the [Forest Wolves] were fast, Shi Feng’s speed wasn’t slow either. With all his attributes invested in agility, his movement speed was 6, making him quite nimble.

However, no matter how high his agility stats is as a level 1, he’s still a level 1 player, his speed was still slightly slower than that of the [Forest Wolves].

Seeing that he was about to be caught, Shi Feng didn’t have time to think much and directly activated his life-saving skill, “Weightlessness.”

Instantly, he felt as light as a feather, and his speed increased significantly, quickly leaving the group of [Forest Wolf] behind, leaving them in the dust.

At the end of the day, these small monsters were still game monsters. They gave up the chase after he left their designated chasing range, and Shi Feng managed to save his life.

More than ten minutes later, Shi Feng arrived at the foot of a towering mountain range. Several large mountains, hundreds of meters high, stood in the center of the [Red Leaf Forest], with clouds and mist swirling around the mountain peaks, creating a scene that seemed like a fairyland.

“I’m finally here.”

Shi Feng looked at the towering mountains, glanced around, and spotted a small waterfall nearby, so he walked over.

In his previous life, when they found this thing, the majority of the players were already at levels over 20, they are capable of doing many things that low-level players like the current him couldn’t. So, they liked to explore various places in the [God’s Domain]. The central mountain range of the [Red Leaf Forest] was particularly famous. Therefore, the [Duskwalkers Union] sent a small team of [Assassins] to investigate the mountain.

To their surprise, they found that the central mountain range was a treasure trove. They discovered many things while climbing up the mountain: rare ores, rare herbs, and even treasure chests. At the summit, there was a [Mithril—Treasure Chest].

In the wilds of the [God’s Domain], many hidden places held treasure chests, waiting for players to discover them. The contents of these chests varied greatly, ranging from copper coins to Onyx-Tier equipment.

The quality of the treasure chests ranged from Ordinary, Bronze, Iron, Mithril, Gold, to Onyx. Even [Ordinary—Treasure Chest] could contain drops comparable to those from Elite Monsters, not to mention the [Mithril—Treasure Chest].

Because of this [Mithril—Treasure Chest], the [Penumbra Studio] suddenly became a well-known gaming studio in God Domain’s community, accumulating a considerable amount of wealth in the early stages of the game.

Inside the [Mithril—Treasure Chest], there was not only equipment but also an Alchemy Formula and a Forging Blueprint.

In the early stages of the [God’s Domain], the drop rate for Alchemy Formulas was less than one in ten thousand, let alone Forging Blueprints. Forging could produce Bronze-Tier equipment, which was the most lacking for players. Therefore, the drop rate of Forging Blueprints was even lower. With these, making money became very easy.

Shi Feng wanted to earn 16,000 credits within ten days, and he relied heavily on them. Naturally, he didn’t leave anything for the [Duskwalkers Union]. Lower-level players couldn’t activate the basic skill “High Maneuver” because their agility wasn’t over 40 points, which was necessary for climbing these mountains.

Although Shi Feng didn’t have 40 agility points, he had the [Levity Ring]. With it Weightlessness Equipment Skill activated, climbing the mountain was an easy task.

As he climbed, Shi Feng found a suitable resting spot just as the [Levity Ring]  Weightlessness Equipment Skill was about to deactivate, and planned to wait till it’s CD to reset before continuing on his skill.

Before Shi Feng could even sit down, the rock wall suddenly shook, and a rock giant emerged, roaring loudly.

The rock giant was a common monster, level 5, with 550 HP.

“Ah, a little entertainment.”

Seeing the rock giant approaching, Shi Feng was prepared. He took out a exploding fruit from his backpack and threw it forcefully at the feet of the rock giant, causing a burst of orange sticky juice to cover the ground.

Although the rock giant was a level 5 monster with strong attacks, thick HP, and high defense, it was very slow to react and move. As long as one had 20 agility points, they could easily run around the rock giant. Many assassins liked dealing with such dumb monsters because they could be killed easily without losing any health.

Shi Feng didn’t have 20 agility points, but he had exploding fruits. The area affected by exploding fruits was 3*3 yards, it can also slow down movement speed by 30% and reduce an entity turning speed by 70% for 1 minute. It was a god-like item that most players often used for dealing with slow-witted monsters. More than two months after the [God’s Domain] opened, many players used this method to kill slow-moving high-level monsters. However, such monsters were rare in the [God’s Domain], and continuously leveling up this way was impossible.

After being hit by the exploding fruits, the rock giant’s movement speed dropped sharply.
