Chapter 1 Leaving Red Leaf Town

Shi Feng led Hei Zi straight towards Darkmoon Valley.

"Feng Ge, we're going to Darkmoon Valley? That's a level 4 monster area. Couldn't we pick a safer place?" Hei Zi looked at Shi Feng's target, level 4 monsters, and said, a little uneasy.

In God's Domain, challenging monsters beyond your level is extremely difficult. Usually, it's only one level higher. Two levels higher requires a six-person team at this stage. However, even six-person teams don't do this because it's more efficient for a level 1 six-person team to kill level 2 monsters than to struggle to kill level 3 monsters.

There were only two of them. Shi Feng was alright, at least he was a level 2 Swordsman, but he was a level 0 Spellcaster. Facing a level 4 monster was just suicide. The two of them fighting a level 4 monster was basically courting death...

Regarding Hei Zi's worries, Shi Feng smiled calmly and assured him, "Don't worry, you see I'm already level 2, right? My friend is a closed beta expert. If we weren't super close, he wouldn't have told me this secret. Just wait and level up like a rocket."

Shi Feng didn't mention anything about his rebirth, pushing all the questions to a 'good friend.' This way, all his actions in God's Domain could be easily explained, and Hei Zi would believe him completely without needing a long explanation.

Because a closed beta tester was the best explanation.

"Feng Ge, you're really amazing. No wonder you didn't go to the stable Youying Studio to earn money. With such a closed beta expert guiding you, you'll definitely earn a lot in God's Domain. My future happiness depends on you," Hei Zi said, feeling much more at ease, chuckling.

He was shocked when he saw Shi Feng's level reach level 2 after forming the team.

No player in Red Leaf Town at this stage had ever reached level 2. Even the elites of the studios weren't an exception, but Shi Feng had reached it. His leveling speed was simply terrifying.

Hei Zi wasn't ignorant of Shi Feng's skills. Although his technique was good, it definitely wasn't this amazing. He used to doubt the news about closed beta testers, but after seeing Shi Feng's level, all his concerns disappeared. Only a closed beta tester could do this. He even believed Shi Feng's bold claim of earning 16,000 credits in ten days a little more.

"Tch, I'm a real man," Shi Feng rolled his eyes at Hei Zi, slightly increasing the distance. But the look in Hei Zi's eyes was still so impure, making him a little nervous.

"Feng Ge, what are you thinking? My dream girl is the Ice Goddess Bai Qingxue," Hei Zi quickly explained.

Ice Goddess?

Shi Feng had a deep impression of this woman. She had performed extremely well in other virtual games. Because of her stunning beauty, devilish figure, world-class temperament, and super high combat skills, she was extremely popular.

Three years after God's Domain was launched, she became even more incredible, rising to become a top player in the country and one of the top ten Berserkers in the country, known as the Valkyrie. She had a mountain of celebrity endorsements, her net worth exceeded tens of billions, and she was also the vice president of the super guild Devouring Serpent, able to easily command millions of players. At that time, he was just a small character in God's Domain, only able to look up at Bai Qingxue's beautiful figure. Unfortunately, Bai Qingxue disappeared from God's Domain not long after, becoming a major topic in God's Domain and staying hot for a long time.

"Feng Ge, look, there's an elite monster," Hei Zi shouted, pointing to a snow-white fox in the rice fields in the distance.

Shi Feng looked over and saw a white fox in the golden rice fields, with a white rabbit in its mouth.

Cunning Snow Fox, Rare Elite, Level 2, HP 450.

"Hei Zi, your eyesight and luck are too good, you can even find it. We're in luck this time," Shi Feng quietly approached and instructed, "You just output from a distance, leave the rest to me."

Rare Elites are a special kind of elite. Their strength is the same as ordinary elite monsters, but the rewards after killing them are higher. They only respawn after a long time after being killed once. Whether you can encounter them depends on luck.

"Feng Ge, you're crazy, that's a level 2 elite, we can't deal with it."

Hei Zi wanted to stop him. An elite of the same level requires a small team to deal with. Without a healer, fighting alone would definitely get you killed by the monster.

But Hei Zi was already too late. Shi Feng quickly circled behind the Snow Fox and suddenly launched an attack.

Chop!

A sword aura flew out.

The Snow Fox's movements were very agile, directly avoiding the vital part of its abdomen, only taking 32 points of damage.

"Its movements are very agile, and its defense isn't low either," Shi Feng quickly made a judgment based on the Snow Fox's dodge and damage.

He had the title of One Against Thousands, which increased all attributes by 10%, plus 5 points of Strength and 5 points of Endurance, bringing his Strength to 13, Endurance to 10, and Agility to 17. His current attack power was 29, and his HP was 260. His attributes were completely comparable to a level 5 Swordsman, and he could definitely fight a level 2 elite.

The enraged Snow Fox was very fast, directly biting towards Shi Feng's neck, activating the skill Fatal Strike.

However, Shi Feng's speed wasn't slow either. With 17 points of Agility, he was no worse than the Snow Fox. The moment the Snow Fox rushed over, the Novice Sword had already struck the Snow Fox's head.

With a bang.

Shi Feng only had 13 points of Strength, and he still couldn't withstand the Snow Fox's power. His body took two steps back, and 49 points of damage appeared above his head. The Novice Sword's durability was also reduced by 1 point because of this.

The Snow Fox only took 5 points of damage. The difference between the two was obvious at a glance.

"Dead, dead, we're dead this time," Hei Zi's forehead was sweating. He had seen the attacks of ordinary monsters, but he didn't expect the gap with elite monsters to be so big. Shi Feng was lucky to block the attack with his sword and still deal nearly 50 points of damage. If he had been hit in the body, wouldn't it have been over a hundred? Shi Feng finally reached level 2, and dying would send him back to level 1. All his great advantage would be gone.

"Hei Zi, attack!" Shi Feng shouted.

"You're really crazy. Forget it, forget it, might as well die together, I'm only level 0 anyway," Hei Zi gritted his teeth, chanted a spell, and gestured.

A Shadow Arrow shot out, dealing 5 points of damage to the Snow Fox.

Hei Zi gasped when he saw the damage. He had added all his points to Intelligence to increase his spell damage, but he only dealt 5 points. The defense of the elite monster was too terrifying.

Shi Feng, facing the Snow Fox, was under even greater pressure. The Snow Fox's Agility was very high. Every time Shi Feng tried to use Chop to attack, it could be dodged. He could only use ordinary basic attacks to deal 18 points of damage, but if he was bitten by the Snow Fox, it would be over a hundred damage, completely disproportionate.

More than ten seconds later, Shi Feng's HP was only 31 points left, while the Snow Fox still had 244 points.

"Too few skills, as expected, there's no way to directly fight an Agility-type elite," Shi Feng looked at the Snow Fox with half its health remaining. If he continued to fight, he would definitely die. He had to explode.

He took out a bottle of Black Iron Beer from his backpack and took two gulps. Shi Feng's vision became a little blurry, feeling a bit drunk. Then, he activated Gravity Liberation, greatly increasing his speed, coming to the Snow Fox's side like a lightning bolt.

At this time, when Shi Feng looked at the Snow Fox's level, it showed as level 0, while he was level 2. He instantly had level suppression, increasing his damage. However, his body was correspondingly difficult to control.

"Die!" Shi Feng's eyes were cold, and he gripped the Novice Sword in his hand even tighter.

Wind Lightning Flash!

Whoosh whoosh whoosh, three lightning bolts quickly flashed past the Snow Fox's waist. The Snow Fox let out a miserable cry, and -30, -36, -42 points of damage appeared above its head. A quarter of its health was gone in an instant.

Then, another Chop dealt 43 points of damage.

The Snow Fox wanted to resist desperately, but Shi Feng's speed after activating Gravity Liberation was very fast. Even though he was drunk, he could still control his body well with his years of combat experience, putting the Snow Fox in an absolute disadvantage.

"Damn, Feng Ge, what did you drink? You're so fierce all of a sudden!" Hei Zi's eyes were about to pop out. Shi Feng's performance was like he had a cheat. The ferocious Snow Fox had now become Shi Feng's plaything, with no chance to resist at all.

Just as the Snow Fox's HP was only 42 points left, Shi Feng was about to deliver the final blow.

Suddenly, Shi Feng felt a chill in his neck, as if a dagger was placed on his neck, making him very uncomfortable. He instinctively jumped forward, and then a snow-white dagger swept past, dodging the attack with shock and no danger.

The figure revealed behind Shi Feng was very surprised. He had hidden his aura very well, not even making a sound, and after reaching level 1, his Agility was as high as 10 points. Yet his sneak attack was still dodged. What kind of intuition was this?

"Friend, we have no grievances, it's not good to do this," Shi Feng stared at the revealed Assassin and said coldly.

"Blame yourself for offending our Youying. It's too late to regret it now." Youlang held his dagger in reverse grip, watching Shi Feng's every move, excited.

He had been following along the way, originally intending to report Shi Feng's location, but he didn't expect to encounter an elite monster. Now, the Snow Fox's attack target was Shi Feng. Although Shi Feng's technique was good, with the Snow Fox's restraint, he could completely find a chance to kill the low-HP Shi Feng, and then kill the Snow Fox, a one-for-all profit. As for the Spellcaster on the side, he was completely useless, not worth mentioning.

The Snow Fox naturally wouldn't care about these things. It only knew that it wanted to kill Shi Feng.

Suddenly, with an angry roar, its snow-white fur turned fiery red, and its size also increased a bit. Its HP also recovered a lot, increasing its HP by 20%, and then it rushed towards Shi Feng, launching the final skill Tear, increasing the damage dealt by 50% and dealing 30 points of Bleeding damage, lasting for 5 seconds.

"You can go regret it! I'll take this Snow Fox!" Youlang also charged towards Shi Feng at the same time, preparing to kill Shi Feng the moment he dodged.
