Chapter 9 Level Up
[Ding! Your level has increased to 1!]
As a pleasant system notification sound rang in Lin Tian's mind, a warm current instantly surged throughout his body!
[All attributes +2!]
[Gained 5 free attribute points!]
[Gained 5 skill points!]
"It's upgraded!" Lin Tian was overjoyed, feeling the surge of power within his body.
Without hesitation, he opened the attribute panel and focused his gaze on the intelligence attribute.
"In the early stages of leveling up, damage is efficiency! Intelligence is directly related to spell attack power, which is the foundation of output!" With these thoughts racing, he quickly activated his mental keys, instantly investing all 5 precious free attribute points into [Intelligence]!
[Intelligence]: 7 (basic) + 2 (level up) + 5 (points added) = 14!
The surge in Intelligence directly boosted core damage output attributes:
[Spell Attack]: 14 Intelligence * 2 = 28! (Equipment not included)
His gaze shifted to the skill bar. Currently, he only had one core skill—[Fireball]. Without hesitation, he'd prioritize upgrading that skill point!
[Would you like to spend 4 skill points to upgrade 'Fireball' to level 1?]
"Confirmed!" Lin Tian responded decisively. Four skill points were instantly deducted, leaving him with a skill point balance of 1.
Then Lin Tian looked at the upgraded "Fireball Technique":
Fireball (Level 1)
[Rank: D]
[Casting Range: 35 + (1.6 * Spirit) meters]
[Description: Condenses the power of fire, consumes 40 mana, and deals fire damage to the target equal to 270% of the caster's spell attack power.]
[Cooldown: 2 seconds]
(Please remember the website ①⓪①ⓚⓚⓢ.ⓒⓞⓜ for the fastest chapter updates)
"The casting range is a bit longer, the damage bonus has increased by 10%, and the mana cost has increased by 10 points..."
Lin Tian quickly assessed, "The improvement is acceptable, but compared to the qualitative change brought about by the talent [improvement], it's indeed rather mediocre." He tried adding more points:
[Would you like to spend 8 skill points to upgrade 'Fireball' to level 2?]
"8 points?!" Lin Tian frowned slightly. "The consumption has doubled? It seems that the demand for skill points increases exponentially when upgrading high-grade skills."
He only had 1 skill point left, far from enough. "Cancel! I'll save this skill point for later; it might be more worthwhile to use it when I unlock a new skill." He immediately stopped what he was doing.
He then opened the full attribute panel and examined the current status:
Name: Lin Tian
[Level]: 1 (0/300)
------
[Physical Attack]: 14 (Base)
[Spell Attack]: 28 (Base) + 40 (Hardwood Staff) = 68
[Physical Defense]: 7 (Basic) + 8 (Apprentice Hood) + 10 (Apprentice Robe) = 25
[Spell Defense]: 7 (Basic)
[Speed]: 7 (Basic) + 15 (Lightweight Cloth Shoes) = 22
[Mana Points]: 70 (Base) + 80 (Apprentice Hood) + 80 (Apprentice Robe) = 230
[Health Points]: 70 (Base) + 200 (Apprentice Belt) = 270
------
【Strength: 7】
[Stamina: 7]
[Agility: 7]
【Intelligence: 14】
【Spirit: 7】
Luck rating: 0
[Skill]: Fireball (D-rank, level 1)
"The next level requires 300 experience points..." Lin Tian calculated. "At my current efficiency, it's just a matter of killing a few dozen more spiders."
Thinking of those ordinary players still forming teams at the village entrance, even fighting tooth and nail over a level 0 wild boar, a faint sense of superiority curled at the corner of his mouth. The joy of being a cheater is simple and unpretentious.
"Full power!" He downed another bottle of E-grade [Intelligence Potion] (+20 Intelligence) and [Energy Potion] (+20 Spirit). Feeling the surging magical power and clearer thinking, he instantly calculated:
Temporary spell damage after taking the potion: 68 (basic equipment) + (20 points of intelligence * 2) = 108!
Theoretical damage of a level 1 D-rank Fireball: 108 * 270% ≈ 292 points!
"292 points of damage! Nearly 300 output!" Lin Tian's eyes blazed with fighting spirit. "The level 4 three-eyed spiders here only have 180 health points, yet it's still an instant kill! And... the casting range is even longer!"
His gaze fell on an area in the distance where the spider webs were denser and the number of three-eyed spiders was significantly greater.
The upgraded Fireball spell has a casting range of 35 + (1.6 * 7 Spirit) = 46.2 meters! This distance far exceeds the aggro range of most level 4 monsters (usually around 30 meters).
Lin Tian stopped at a safe distance of about 45 meters from the nearest three-eyed spider.
The spider, oblivious, continued leisurely mending its web.
Lin Tian raised his staff slightly, and a blazing fireball, with an even darker red core, instantly condensed and took shape!
"call out--!"
The fireball pierced the dim light of the forest and struck the spider precisely on the head!
-292!
The scarlet numbers exploded, and the spider, without even a hiss, turned into white light, leaving behind copper coins.
Lin Tian kept walking, locking onto his next target as he went.
After a 2-second cooldown, another fireball roared out!
-292!
One more in a second! He was like a walking Grim Reaper, fireballs raining down and white light flashing wherever he went!
His ultra-long range of 46 meters allows him to easily select targets and even snipe accurately through low bushes or sparse trees.
Those spiders that sense the movement and try to crawl over are often met with a deadly fireball as soon as they enter within 40 meters!
When the effects of the Intelligence Potion and Energy Potion wear off, immediately reapply them!
The 10-second cooldown of the Mana Potion is over? Regardless of whether your current mana is 200 or 100, drink it and instantly recover 200! Ensure your mana pool is always above the safe limit, maintaining this terrifying sustained firepower.
Copper coins? Too lazy to pick them up for now! Experience points and upgrade points are what really matter!
[Ding! Killed a level 4 Three-Eyed Spider (killing a higher-level enemy)! Experience +7!]
[Ding! Talent 'Enhancement' triggered! Gain 1 enhancement point!]
【Ding! ...]
【Ding! ...]
The pleasant notification sounds almost became background music.
经验条【0/300】开始以肉眼可见的速度稳步增长：【8/300】…【16/300】…【24/300】…
The boost points also jumped around happily: 5…6…7…
Lin Tian's movements were fluid and graceful, his eyes calm and focused.
His monster-killing rhythm was like a precise killing machine, stable and efficient.
With an ultra-long casting range of 46.2 meters, coupled with a terrifying instant-kill damage of nearly 300 points, he moved through the dark spider nest as if it were his own backyard.
The upgraded attributes and skills, combined with the foundation laid by the [Enhancement] talent and the unlimited consumption of potions, perfectly embody the word "crushing".
He even had the energy to observe his surroundings, avoiding tree trunks that might obstruct his view, ensuring that every fireball hit its target.
