10: All systems are at level 10, and equipment is the core competitiveness
【Congratulations! You have successfully killed a Level 11 Fierce Wolf, gaining 300 experience points.】
【Congratulations! You have successfully killed a Level 15 Mutated Northeast Tiger (Blue), gaining 800 experience points.】
【Congratulations! You have successfully killed a Level 25 Infected Mountain Bandit (Blue), gaining 2000 experience points.】
【Congratulations! You have successfully killed a Level 30 Mountain Bandit Leader (Elite BOSS), gaining 1 experience point.】
【Congratulations! Your Wind Mage Professional has advanced to Level 10.】
【Friendly Reminder: Due to your Super-God Grade Professional, all Mage Professionals have been upgraded to Level 10. You need to manually unseal them to continue leveling up.】
【Seals appear every 10 levels, continuing until Five-turn. Each unseal will grant 10% progress towards opening the Super Experience Pool.】
【Experience Pool: A container for excess experience when you cannot level up after reaching the Professional transfer threshold.】
【After completing the Five-turn task, you will receive a Super Experience Pool. While other Professionals' Experience Pool accumulation does not exceed 10 levels of experience, your Super Experience Pool capacity will be at least a hundred times that of a regular Experience Pool.】
【Materials required for unsealing: Wild Boar Tusks * 10, Slime Saliva * 10, warring states red agate Raw Stone * 1.】
Lin Ling watched the notifications on his panel, his facial muscles trembling uncontrollably from excitement.
Although he had already prepared himself mentally, his heart still couldn't help but pound several times faster when he actually saw one of his skills increase from Level 1 to Level 10.
In his previous life, it had taken him a full half-year to reach Level 10.
But now, he had reached Level 10 by simply casting a single skill, and that was only because he encountered a Level 10 seal.
Otherwise, he might have already reached Level 30 or higher.
However, the impact didn't seem significant, as there weren't enough monsters for him to endlessly use Forbidden Spell to clear.
He couldn't just cast a skill and then wait for monsters to respawn, only to cast another Forbidden Spell in the same spot; he would be caught immediately.
Lin Ling understood the principle that a tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind; sometimes, it's necessary to show one's edge, but before having enough strength, one must learn to protect himself.
"The unsealing materials are common, so they shouldn't be difficult to obtain. The Super Experience Pool reward, however, is very useful.
The Professional transfer tasks in the later stages seem to be very difficult, with many people stuck on them for years or even more than a decade.
Their Experience Pools would have long been full, and vast amounts of experience would have been wasted. From Five-turn onwards, the amount of experience required for leveling up undergoes a qualitative change.
If I have a Super Experience Pool, I might be able to accumulate experience close to Six-turn while completing the Professional transfer task.
That's still too far away; for now, I need to focus on improving myself first."
Amidst his joy, Lin Ling's gaze swept over the system notification regarding the Elite BOSS kill.
His narrow eyes immediately narrowed slightly.
Every Awakening Day, new player zone BOSSes would respawn, and the first Professional to kill an Elite BOSS would be announced nationwide.
This was a situation he absolutely did not want to see; once his current situation was exposed, it would definitely not be a good thing.
Every year, as soon as the first Professional to complete a Second Professional transfer appeared, the system would release numerous leaderboards.
Information about many high-level Professionals would be exposed. To protect Professionals, the system specifically introduced a nickname function after the Professional's Second Professional transfer.
Professionals could set an external nickname to protect their identity and privacy.
However, Lin Ling was still some distance away from a Second Professional transfer, and once the first kill announcement appeared, his talent would undoubtedly be questioned.
Being hidden by the country would be a good thing; in a hundred years of history, countless Professionals with extraordinary talent had been stifled in their infancy by 'walking 500,000' or enemy special agents.
As expected, a system message quickly popped up in front of Lin Ling.
【You have completed this year's new player zone Elite BOSS first kill. A server-wide announcement will be made in 30 minutes.】
"It seems I can only confess to the country and become a canary, hidden away until after Seven Turns," Lin Ling sighed in his heart.
However, just then, another system notification suddenly appeared.
【As you are a Super-God Grade special Professional Awakener, the system rewards you with an Identity Protection Nickname Card. You can modify the name attribute of all externally displayed information in advance. Do you want to use the protection card now?】
【Yes】【No】
A faint smile slowly appeared at the corner of Lin Ling's mouth. Wouldn't this thing be immediately exposed once he joined a team? What's the point?
But on second thought, it actually had some use. At the very least, since he was just starting out, not revealing his identity would allow him to develop first, avoiding disturbances.
Once his real name was announced, who knew how many people would contact him.
It's better to develop first, then talk about it.
"Yes!"
【Please enter the name for public display.】
Lin Ling pondered for a moment, then suddenly remembered a favorite anime protagonist from Earth.
"Ye Xiu!"
【Naming successful. All external announcements will use "Ye Xiu" for public display.】
【As you are a Super-God Grade special Professional Awakener, you have gained the item drop teleportation function.】
【Do you want to teleport items dropped by killed monsters to your front?】
【Yes】【No】
Another pleasant surprise arrived, and Lin Ling made his decision without any hesitation.
"Yes!"
As he confirmed.
A white light suddenly shone before his eyes.
A large amount of equipment descended from the sky.
And at this moment, Lin Ling's eyes were fixed on the continuously appearing equipment.
He was searching.
Searching for the Level 30 Elite BOSS's perfect set.
The quality of regular equipment is divided into seven types:
Common Equipment (White),
Quality Equipment (Blue),
Rare Equipment (Purple),
Perfect Equipment (Gold),
Legendary Equipment (Orange),
Epic Equipment (Red),
sacred set (White Light).
In his previous life, he had only casually heard a Four-turn grand elder mention that there was a hidden Level 10 perfect set in the new player zone.
It could only be dropped with a certain probability by the first kill of a Level 30 Elite BOSS, and if it dropped, it would definitely be a complete set.
Although it could be worn at Level 10, its attributes could overpower rare-grade sets within 3 Professional transfers.
Finally, a golden light appeared.
Lin Ling clearly saw a golden piece of equipment instantly buried by a large amount of white equipment.
He frowned slightly. From his experience, other people's BOSS first kills always dropped a complete set; it was impossible for him to only get one piece.
But several seconds passed, and no second golden piece of equipment appeared.
Just as Lin Ling was feeling puzzled.
Suddenly.
Several white lights, far more dazzling than the other white equipment, lit up consecutively.
Lin Ling's eyes instantly widened, but there was simply too much white equipment. Before he could see clearly, it had already covered the equipment in front.
This was the first time Lin Ling had seen such dazzling white light equipment, and a bold guess quietly formed in his mind.
Equipment was still being teleported over. Before Lin Ling could verify his guess, a small mountain of equipment had already appeared before him.
Although the equipment drop rate in the new player zone was higher, it was still less than 1%.
This meant that even after killing a hundred monsters, an item might not necessarily drop.
But looking at so much equipment at this moment, Lin Ling's mouth once again twitched uncontrollably.
How many monsters must have been killed to drop so much equipment?
After a moment, no more equipment was teleported over. He quickly stepped forward and began searching through the pile of equipment.
He automatically ignored white equipment and only glanced at blue equipment at most.
【Quality Staff (Blue)】
【Category: Main Weapon】
【Level Requirement: Level 5】
【Durability: 100/100】
【Intelligence +5, Mana +100】
【Additional Effect: None】
"In my previous life, it took me two months to be able to use this Level 5 blue weapon." Lin Ling shook his head and casually threw away the blue weapon.
【Rare Priest's Staff (Purple)】
【Category: Main Weapon】
【Level Requirement: Level 10】
【Durability: 200/200】
【Intelligence +10, Agility +10, Mana +200】
【Additional Effect: None】
Equipment is always a crucial factor in whether a Professional can become a true powerhouse.
A naked Five-turn Grand Mage couldn't even defeat a Three-turn Intermediate Mage wearing a perfect set. Of course, no Five-turn Professional would strip naked to be killed.
The only way to compensate for equipment differences was with Forbidden Spell.
However, Forbidden Spell could only be unleashed by Professionals of Seven Turns or higher. The Forbidden Spell of each Professional possessed the power to destroy the heavens and earth.
Professionals below Seven Turns would find it difficult to withstand a Forbidden Spell attack with just equipment.
Of course, Forbidden Spell is rarely used unless absolutely necessary. The millions of mana required to cast a Forbidden Spell could exhaust a Professional of Seven Turns or higher.
Therefore, equipment is always the Professional's primary core competitiveness.
Among regular equipment, white equipment has only one attribute, blue equipment two, purple equipment three, gold equipment four, orange equipment five + passive skills, and red equipment six attributes + passive skills.
As for the legendary sacred set that emits white light, it is said to have a full eight attribute bonuses, and also comes with active and passive skills.
And among these equipment, if a set is collected, there are additional set-exclusive attribute bonuses.
In the eyes of most people, the sacred set is already the ceiling of equipment.
If he hadn't been reborn, Lin Ling would also have been one of these people. However, at this moment, he clearly knew that there was even more powerful equipment than the sacred set.
That was the top-tier custom exclusive weapon set.
Professionals with top-tier exclusive weapons were so powerful that strong individuals of the same rank would despair.
A privately customized top-tier exclusive weapon set could even make the entire world go crazy.
