Chapter 012 Efficiency Soars!
"It's time to enter the dungeon." A hint of anticipation flashed in Su Yu's eyes; he couldn't wait to test the power of Lightning Bolt.
Su Yu took a step forward, slowly extended his right hand, and touched the dungeon portal in front of him.
Soon, the four difficulty options for the dungeon appeared before Su Yu's eyes. However, apart from the normal difficulty, the other three difficulties were grayed out and could not be selected.
The next difficulty level will only be unlocked after a player completes the previous difficulty level of a dungeon.
Without hesitation, Su Yu decisively chose the normal difficulty level.
A beam of white light descended from the sky, instantly enveloping Su Yu, who vanished from his spot in the blink of an eye.
……
Su Yu felt a sudden darkness before his eyes, followed by a wave of dizziness. When he opened his eyes again, he found himself in a grassland.
The environment here is not much different from that of the Gale Plains.
If Su Yu hadn't spotted a group of green-skinned monsters wielding spiked clubs in the distance, he would have thought his teleportation had failed.
Using his innate detection skill, Su Yu saw the attributes of the green-skinned monster.
[Level 5 Goblin Warrior (Normal)]
[HP: 1200/1200]
Physical Attack Power: 120
Physical Defense: 50; Magic Defense: 30
[Skill: Heavy Strike]
"These attributes are pretty good, much stronger than wild monsters of the same level," Su Yu quickly concluded.
He saw level 5 monsters at the boundary between the level 4 and level 5 jungle areas in the Gale Plains.
The level 5 monster is the Gale Wolf, which is much stronger than the level 4 Gale Hound, but it is still weaker than the level 5 Goblin Warrior.
Moreover, these are just ordinary-level dungeon monsters. If they were hell-level dungeon monsters, any one of them could probably easily defeat a group of monsters of the same level.
Su Yu, carrying his novice longbow, walked straight toward the nearest goblin warrior.
Su Yu is currently in a safe zone, still quite far from the goblin warriors. Even though Su Yu's attack range far exceeds that of archers of the same level, it is still not enough to directly attack them.
As Su Yu quickly approached the group of goblin warriors, they also noticed his presence.
Eight or nine goblin warriors, wielding spiked clubs and with ferocious faces, swarmed towards Su Yu.
"Heh, so what if they find out about me?" Su Yu sneered.
Given the goblin warrior's movement speed, there was simply no chance of getting close to him.
With Su Yu and the goblin warriors rushing towards them, the group of goblin warriors quickly entered Su Yu's attack range.
With a thought, Su Yu drew his longbow to a full moon, and a lightning arrow quietly appeared in his hand, with streaks of electricity leaping across it.
call out!
The lightning arrow pierced the air and transformed into a streak of purple light.
boom!
-2500! (Weakness attack)
In an instant, the first goblin warrior in the lead was struck in the head by a lightning arrow, and its head exploded, turning it into a headless corpse.
Zi la la!
Immediately afterwards, an arc of electricity shot out from its corpse, accurately hitting the next goblin.
boom! boom! boom!
In the blink of an eye, the entire group of goblins was showered with the leaping arcs of electricity.
-1250!
-2671! (Critical Hit)
-1125!
……
The terrifying damage instantly killed five more goblin warriors, leaving only three with low health and emitting black smoke.
Su Yu then followed up with three more basic attacks, taking down the remaining three low-health goblins.
In an instant, the log panel started flashing wildly.
Successfully defeated a level 5 Goblin Warrior (Normal). Gained 60 experience points, 50 copper coins, and 1 skill point.
Successfully defeated a level 5 Goblin Warrior (Normal), gaining 60 experience points and 1 skill point.
……
"Not bad, not bad. This Lightning Arrow truly lives up to its reputation as a powerful area-of-effect weapon. Just one arrow is enough to wipe out a large portion of the enemies. It feels so satisfying." Su Yu nodded in satisfaction.
Although the damage of Lightning Bolt decreases afterward, combined with its current 50% critical strike chance, it can still deal terrifying damage.
This monster-killing efficiency is much higher than when he used Soul-Severing Arrows to kill monsters in the wild before.
"It seems that killing dungeon monsters rewards more experience points and copper coins than killing wild monsters of the same level," Su Yu thought to himself.
He can gain 40 experience points by killing a level 4 jungle monster when he is level 4.
Logically, killing a level 5 monster at level 5 should give you 50 experience points.
Killing a level 5 dungeon monster now grants 60 experience points, which is 20% more than killing a monster of the same level in the wild.
This means that Su Yu will be able to acquire fewer skill points at level 5 than he expected.
It takes 20,000 experience points to level up from level 5 to level 6. Su Yu originally thought he could get 400 skill points at level 5.
However, it now seems that if he were to run dungeons, the skill points he would gain at level 5 would be far less than 400.
"However, this doesn't seem to be a big problem." Su Yu quickly figured out the key issue.
He was weak and had low skill levels before, so only a small number of skill points were needed to significantly improve his strength.
The strategy of only killing monsters of the same level in the early stages allows him to maximize the skill points he gains, thereby quickly improving his strength.
But now, his strength is already considerable, so there's no need for him to be so meticulous anymore.
He can now quickly raise his level to 10.
Then, taking advantage of the mechanism that you can't continue leveling up before changing jobs, you can frantically kill level 10 monsters during this period before changing jobs, harvest a lot of skill points, and quickly improve your strength.
"What I need to do now is to quickly get the first-clear rewards for all four difficulty levels of the level 5 dungeon." Su Yu quickly clarified his current goal.
There are three dungeons in the starting village, and these three dungeons are shared by all starting villages.
In other words, to get the first clear reward for a dungeon, you're competing with players worldwide, which is no easy feat.
After all, with so many players worldwide, even if the probability of obtaining a god-level talent is only one in several hundred million, there are still more than a dozen people.
Su Yu cannot guarantee that his strength is definitely among the world's top.
After all, although his infinite growth talent is a god-level talent, it is still a growth-type talent. To unleash its true potential, it will take time to accumulate.
Perhaps his biggest advantage right now is that he has already discovered and entered a level 5 dungeon.
It's important to know that the entrance to each instance in the beginner village is random.
Players weaker than Su Yu won't be able to find the dungeon entrance even if they do, while players stronger than Su Yu might not have even found it yet.
Only those with both skill and luck can claim the first-clear reward.
Thinking of this, Su Yu immediately quickened his pace and ran straight ahead.
He was determined to get the first-clear rewards for all four difficulty levels of the level 5 dungeon.
As for the level 7 and 10 dungeons, it depends on his luck. As long as he can find the dungeon entrance soon, they will still be his.
