Isn't it enough to have hands to upgrade?

Finally, he received a call from the unlucky guy.

"Mr. Yang, the takeout has arrived. Please come out and get it!"

After hanging up the phone, Yang Jian unequipped the Horned Bow from his gear slot and put it into his Talent Backpack.

Hopefully, he wouldn't need this thing later, but he had to be prepared!

Tianmu Zhenjun: I'm level two. Mail me four or five pieces of level two and three white-grade equipment, high attack and high defense!

Yueyin Qingya: Received. Level three too?

Yang Jian didn't reply to her. He found a safe spot and used Hearthstone.

Ten seconds later, his vision blurred. When he came to, he was back in the Newbie Village square.

Not far away, the grumpy village chief was still passionately ranting!

"Quests? Even if I had them, I wouldn't give them to you. Look at yourself! Don't go out and level up, just stand around me asking for quests. Do quests fall from the sky?"

"Fine, no quests, but what's with lowering my favorability? And 'scorn'? Is that a favorability level?"

"What's wrong with me scorning you? I'm scorning you!"

Village Chief Wang Hu, tall and burly, stood in front of that player with a condescending look... The player dared not speak out, clearly indicating that a pioneer had already been martyred.

Yang Jian had no time to watch the show. He ran to the mailbox, emptied his backpack, and mailed all the unnecessary items to Zhou Yue.

She had more people on her side; he'd let her handle it.

A short while later, Yang Jian received another mail from her.

“Congratulations! You have received Recruit's Greatsword (White) * 1, Two-Handed Greatsword (White) * 1, Agile Rapier (Green) * 1, Smoked Boots (White) * 1, Boar Legguards (White) * 1, Boar's Heart * 52.”

It was a good thing he had such a human-shaped cheat, otherwise, Yang Jian's talent would have been useless!

He emptied his Talent Backpack, leaving only a Horned Bow, just in case!

People don't actually need to manage their connections; they just need to work hard to make money.

Once people have money, all sorts of shady characters will flock to them to build relationships!

Yang Jian and the other party had actually known each other for two or three years. Both his credibility and his way of doing things were quite reliable.

But this time, since the other party was carrying real weapons, Yang Jian was a little nervous.

Perhaps... if he knew the other party had weapons, the unlucky guy might be even more nervous!

Fearing that he might encounter authorities checking him on the road, both sides were scared!

He found a corner, clicked to exit the game. In a safe zone, he could log off instantly, successfully exiting the game.

In the wilderness, it was different. Logging off in the wilderness required a countdown, and if pulled into combat, logging off would fail!

As soon as he logged off, Yang Jian frowned.

He had just leveled up, but in reality, he hadn't felt any changes... The person was already waiting outside the door; he'd deal with the urgent matter at hand first!

He stealthily opened the door, and a commercial vehicle drove over from a distance.

As it passed Yang Jian, the passenger door didn't even open. A large package was thrown out of the car window.

The vehicle didn't stop and drove away without looking back.

Yang Jian didn't mind. He picked up the package and went inside.

It was quite heavy. He tried to stuff the entire package into his Talent Backpack, but it wouldn't fit.

He returned to the office and locked the door.

He opened the large package: a Desert Eagle and 200 rounds of ammunition were neatly arranged.

Next to it was an AK, 5 magazines, and 9800 rounds of ammunition... He put all these items into his Talent Space, occupying six slots in his backpack.

After dealing with all of this and taking a quick bathroom break, half an hour had passed when he logged back in.

With his supplies ready, Yang Jian set off again.

Half an hour later, Yang Jian once again stood on the lake island.

“Talent: Devour (White)”

“Description: Devour a white-grade equipment no higher than your level, inheriting all of its attributes. Can be stacked infinitely.”

“Cooldown: Remaining time 39:29”

“Upgrade condition: 5 / 50”

“Current Devoured Attributes: Attack +31, Defense +18, Space Slot +8”

This lake island currently only had Yang Jian. Only then did he take out the Desert Eagle to examine it.

“Desert Eagle (Gray)”

“Required Level: None”

“Ranged Weapon (Firearm)”

“Damage: 7-14”

“Attack Speed: Fast”

“Note: An smuggled device from the outside world, not regularized. Cannot use Hunter skills, cannot be devoured.”

The damage was decent, and the attack speed was as Yang Jian expected. Pulling the trigger counted as an attack, so the output would be formidable.

However, if these were the only attributes, he would at most be able to defeat level five monsters.

The monsters around this Newbie Village were, to put it bluntly, just for everyone to practice and get familiar with salvation... If a real abyss invasion happened later, firearms probably wouldn't be able to do much.

He then checked the attributes of the AK47.

Damage 5-10, extremely fast attack speed... He didn't dare to directly challenge level four boars, so he practiced with goats first.

He checked the magazine, raised the AK, and aimed at a level three goat not far away.

Da da da!

Da da da!

Da da da!

Three consecutive bursts of three shots.

- 60

- 61

- 57

A series of damage numbers appeared above the goat's head. It was hit seven times, and two shots missed.

He fired another three-shot burst, and the goat fell down before it could even reach Yang Jian.

“Experience + 42”

Fighting a level three monster, plus the bonus for fighting above his level, gave one goat 42 experience points.

This was much higher than the experience from fighting level two demonized rabbits!

He looted the corpse and only found two pieces of mutton... He glanced at the magazine; it took 12 bullets to kill one goat.

Yang Jian realized that two bullets had missed earlier. Logically, even if there was evasion, there shouldn't have been no reaction like that.

This made him think of the beginning... He checked his personal attribute panel.

Sure enough, when using external firearms, the auxiliary attack system was automatically turned off!

Yang Jian didn't care; he'd level up first.

Whether it's a game or high-martial arts, there's a playstyle called 'overwhelming force'!

High level is the absolute truth.

With the thirty-round magazine fully loaded, Yang Jian decided to try it out on the boars... Very good, to fight a level four boar, he needed to kite it a bit.

Fortunately, in his previous life, Yang Jian, without any cheats, had also fought in Azeroth.

He used the AK for single shots from a distance, then bursts when closer, and if even closer, he'd pull out the Desert Eagle and shoot at its head!

He could kill one boar in a minute, with a little time lost for looting.

After killing every five boars, he needed to stop for ten minutes... Not for rest, but because all the magazines were empty, and he needed to reload bullets!

Two hours later, Yang Jian, who had just reached level four, quickly contacted his human-shaped cheat.

Tianmu Zhenjun: Do you have any level four white-grade equipment?

Yueyin Qingya: ...? You're level four? How did you get to level four?

Tianmu Zhenjun: [Semi-automatic Rifle · AK47] [Firearm · Desert Eagle]

Yueyin Qingya: These attributes... it seems they're only useful for fighting low-level monsters! I suspect they won't be able to break through defenses at level six!

Tianmu Zhenjun: If it's not useful later, that's a problem for later. When my attack power goes up, I'll be one-shotting kids with arrows, and I wouldn't even bother taking them if you gave them to me.

Yueyin Qingya: I'll arrange for Number Four to make a trip to mail you the equipment right away!

Tianmu Zhenjun: You're already level five? When will you reach level six?

Yueyin Qingya: [Experience required for upgrade: 2156 / 50000]

Yang Jian frowned. Now, upgrading from level four to five only required ten thousand experience, but upgrading from level five to six actually required fifty thousand!

It was even more terrifying than linear growth... Judging by this, the leveling speed was getting slower and slower!

He checked his backpack; he still had more than half of his bullets left.

When fighting boars, he initially used about 20 bullets per boar.

Later, it was slightly less, 15 bullets per boar. He had now killed over 200 level four boars, using over four thousand bullets!

The remaining should be enough to get him to level five!

He checked his own panel.

“Player: Tianmu Zhenjun”

“Class: Hunter”

“Level: LV4”

“HP: 380 / 380”

“MP: 280 / 280”

“Strength: 8+1 (Affects melee attack power, parry, etc., affects secondary attributes like carrying capacity)”

“Agility: 11+1 (Affects ranged attack power, critical hit, armor, and dodge, affects secondary attributes like speed)”

“Stamina: 8+1 (Affects maximum health)”

“Intellect: 8+1 (Affects maximum mana, spell power, spell critical hit, etc. attributes)”

“Free Attribute Points: 0”

“Equipment: titan heart necklace, Horned Bow, Boar Bracers (Green), Goatskin Boots (Green)...”

“Talent: Devour (White)”

“Description: Devour a white-grade equipment no higher than your level, inheriting all of its attributes. Can be stacked infinitely.”

“Cooldown: Remaining time 39:29”

“Upgrade condition: 8 / 50”

“Current Devoured Attributes: Attack +48, Defense +32, Space Slot +8”

His additional attack power was already almost catching up to his original attack power attribute!

He checked the cooldown time of his talent; it was still early.

He opened the auxiliary attack system.

He drew his bow and shot an Arcane Shot.

The arrow struck a boar in the distance.

- 216-147

- 158

After two consecutive hits, Yang Jian began to kite and attack... Although he wasn't proficient, he could at least shoot a few more arrows!

Boars had a skill, Charge!

When he entered the boar's charge range and saw the skill activate,

Yang Jian quickly hid behind a tree to break its line of sight.

Once the Charge skill was interrupted, it entered a ten-second cooldown... Kiting and attacking, three consecutive arrows paired with an Arcane Shot, and the boar fell to the ground!
