2: Is there any benefit in upgrading?

Speaking of quests.

eternal is an incredibly vast and realistic world, with an infinite amount of content to explore, including many hidden quests...

"Oh, right."

Lin Ye suddenly remembered something and immediately ran towards the well behind the village.

"It's really here!"

Upon arriving, he saw a raggedy tramp leaning against the well, fast asleep.

Online, it was said that besides the Village Chief, this tramp was the most likely source of a hidden quest in Newbie Village.

You only need a roasted chicken to wake him up.

However, the village's small tavern doesn't sell this food; you have to find the tavern owner's little daughter, Sasha, and then help her find a rabbit of a special color to get the roasted chicken.

But, since this clue was public online, it definitely wasn't that simple.

According to rumors, even if you wake the tramp with a roasted chicken, he will only ask for more roasted chickens, a full 100 of them!

Given the current number of players in the Newbie Village, just the prerequisite rabbit quest would take at least one or two hours to complete.

100 roasted chickens? Who knows how many days that would take.

And by the time you actually finish, the tramp will renege, still give no rewards, and even continue to demand more roasted chickens.

Such an outrageous quest made the player who discovered it complain wildly on the forums, even threatening to call the police.

Lin Ye wasn't sure if this was a hidden quest, but with a hundredfold return, he could indeed get a lot of roasted chickens.

"I'll try it later."

He turned around, planning to complete the training quest first.

......

He found the Hunter, the mentor NPC.

"Young man, being an Archer is a profession that requires both talent and effort. Only by honing your archery skills day and night can you hope to catch your prey."

"Yes, I know," Lin Ye replied.

"Good, then let me see your talent first. Go over there and practice shooting at the targets. Come back to me when you can hit them 10 times in a row or more!"

There were 5 targets in total on the training ground, and many players were practicing, but many failed.

After all, the Archer's training quest was considered relatively difficult among the various professions.

But Lin Ye was well-prepared; he had chosen his profession two months ago and had practiced for a long time in his school's shooting club. Although the weapon he was using now was different, he quickly got the hang of it after a slight adjustment.

He continuously drew his bow and nocked arrows, hitting the target with every shot.

He finished quickly.

The Hunter nodded in satisfaction: "You have some talent, but effort is also essential. Go now, and never forget to practice every day."

[Ding~]

[Quest completed!]

[You gained 50 experience points, you gained the skill: Basic Archery!]

A choice appeared before Lin Ye again.

"Can I choose separately?"

"100 times the quantity for experience, 100 times the quality for skills?"

"Yes?"

Lin Ye immediately chose to separate them.

[Ding~]

[You gained 5000 experience points.]

[You gained the skill: Splendid Shot.]

He opened the skill.

[Splendid Shot]

Quality: Rare

Requirement: None

Current Level: 1

Requires bow-type weapon

Attack Speed +30%

Movement Speed +30%

Mobile Shot

(Can attack while moving, accuracy is the same as normal attack conditions)

"The stats at Level 1 are already so high, and it even has Mobile Shot."

"Cool~"

Lin Ye had researched Archers before; to have a Mobile Shot skill, one would typically only acquire it after their first class advancement, and the skill book was extremely expensive.

[Ding~]

[You leveled up!]

[You gained 5 free attribute points.]

Another prompt popped up in front of Lin Ye.

"What, attribute points gained from leveling up also count as a reward?"

"I can only say... it's divine!"

Lin Ye hesitated slightly, ultimately choosing quantity.

After all, for attributes, 100 times the quality (1 attribute point equals 100 attribute points) is no different from 100 times the quantity, right?

[Ding~]

[You gained 500 free attribute points.]

[Ding~]

[You leveled up!]

[You gained 500 free attribute points.]

[You leveled up!]

[You gained...]

Lin Ye watched the prompts flash continuously, feeling as if he had been struck by lightning.

Exaggerated!

A quest that originally only gave 50 experience points, not even enough to level up once, now, multiplied by a hundred, instantly skyrocketed him 7 levels.

Of course, none of that mattered.

Compared to 100 times the attribute points, what was a little experience?

Attributes that ordinary players would need Level 100 to obtain, I got at Level 1.

He opened his character panel.

Looking at Level 7 and a total of 3500 attribute points, Lin Ye could confidently say, "I am terrifyingly strong now!"

But allocating the points...

How should he add them?

Lin Ye was genuinely scratching his head.

It felt like suddenly becoming rich overnight, with so much money he had no idea how to spend it.

"Ahem, calm down!"

For an Archer, there were several ways to allocate points depending on future class advancements.

Conventional: 3 Strength, 2 Agility; or 2 Strength, 3 Agility. Nothing special to say there.

Agility Archer: 4 Agility, 1 Strength, or full Agility. Attack relies entirely on equipment. The advantage is high attack speed; the disadvantage is it requires money, a lot of money, to compensate for the lack of attack from equipment.

Intelligence Archer: 3 Intelligence, 2 Constitution; 4 Intelligence, 1 Constitution; or full Intelligence. Damage relies entirely on skills. Lacks the Archer's agile characteristics, unable to move quickly or dodge, similar to a stationary mage.

"Never mind, I can reset them later anyway. Let's go with a rich-man mode, full allocation!"

500 Strength.

500 Agility.

500 Intelligence.

500 Constitution.

"Still 1500 points left?"

Lin Ye's hand was numb from clicking, but he still had so many points left?

"Add more!"

"1000 Strength, 500 Agility!"

Finally, he was done allocating.

He called up his panel.

[Character: Demon Lord]

[Level: 7]

[Profession: Archer]

[Health: 5200]

[Mana: 1530]

[Attack: 1600]

[Defense: 285]

[Magic Damage: 255]

[Magic Resistance: 51]

[Attack Speed: 17.92 / second]

[Movement Speed: 146.90 / meter per second]

[Strength: 1510]

[Agility: 1070]

[Intelligence: 510]

[Constitution: 510]

[Talent: Hundredfold Return]

[Equipment: Blazing Red Bow, Blazing Red Quiver, Blazing Red Leather Armor]

[Skill: Splendid Shot]

......

"Brutal!"

As an unpretentious young man, Lin Ye wouldn't even modify his game this violently when using trainers.

Starting with thousands of attribute points.

Even though Lin Ye's personality was more composed, unlike Zhou Heng who was always boisterous, he couldn't help but want to shout "Invincible!" at this moment.

Truly invincible!

Health, Defense, Attack Speed, Movement Speed, Physical, Magic—all invincible!

"This is truly a divine talent; it's fun right from the start."

Lin Ye felt that even if someone truly drew a divine talent, it might not be this powerful.

"Let's go out and fight some monsters."

Lin Ye had no interest in the small monsters at the entrance, so he first went to the blacksmith's shop to pick up a difficult quest.

"Young man, you're quite skilled, can you help me with something?" the blacksmith greeted him as usual.

[Ding~]

[You received a new quest.]

[The Blacksmith's Troubles: A pack of wild wolves has occupied the grayish-brown hills to the east, preventing ore extraction.]

[Objective: Wild Wolves 0 / 50]

[Reward: Weapon or Equipment (Choose one), Fine quality.]

"It was originally a Fine quality weapon; how strong would it be after enhancement?"

Lin Ye was starting to look forward to it.

He left Newbie Village.

The entrance was a spawn area for Slimes and Demon Rabbits, packed with people, a dense mass. Forget leveling up, even getting a monster was difficult.

He headed east.

Arriving at the grayish-brown hills, the number of players here was fewer, but they still occupied all the monster spawn areas.

"Hey, are you guys blind? Can't you see someone's already here?"
