Yang Shung added all 5 free attribute points to agility.
He then looked at the combat attributes:
——
[Health: 130]
[Physical attack power: 13 (+10)]
[Physical defense power: 13]
[All element resistance: 15]
——
For physical attack power, 13 points were from the strength attribute, and the 10 points of attack power in brackets were from the novice dagger, totaling 23 points.
Every player, when they first descended into the Land Abandoned by the Gods, received an initial inferior weapon matching their profession.
[Scrap iron dagger (inferior): gray quality. Attack power +10]
Yang Shung held the scrap iron dagger in his hand and played with it for a while.
In his past life, even though he was a warrior, he had used a dagger before… Using a weapon that doesn't match your profession can only unleash 70% of its effect.
"It feels decent."
Yang Shung smirked slightly.
He checked his "Physical Attack Power" column.
With 23 attack power, this was the starting point for most novices.
From this, one could see how powerful the 90 points of stealth attack power from the Shadow skill truly was!
Yang Shung, holding the short knife, immediately planned to leave the town and hunt monsters.
To level up and gain evolution points, he needed to kill as many monsters as possible!
At this point, no one knew that the monsters in this game wouldn't just wait for players to kill them like in ordinary online games.
This was the most terrifying part.
In the eyes of the monsters, any player leaving the safe zone was just prey!
Monsters would actively seek out players, even attacking and killing them in groups to steal their lives.
"Life is divided into tradable and non-tradable types."
"Non-tradable life is your own, like mine, I have 75 years now."
Non-tradable life's only function is to keep you alive.
As for tradable life, it could be used in many ways.
It not only keeps players alive, but it could also be traded for resources and used to extract equipment, skills, etc., from the game into reality!
This allows players to gain extraordinary strength in the real world!
"Tradable life can only be earned from the monsters in this game."
"And the monsters… they target our lifespan. Once they steal it, they evolve and grow stronger."
Yang Shung, now reborn, knew all too well how dangerous this game was.
Leaving the town meant danger.
If one was unlucky, they might even be hunted by groups of monsters!
Players weren't hunters.
In the God Forsaken Game, weak players were just prey!
This was why so many players struggled just to survive.
Let alone kill monsters and earn tradable life… Many had been killed by monsters countless times, and their lifespan wiped out.
Unable to kill monsters, they lost everything, and in the end, they died suddenly when their lifespan reached zero.
So, in this game, monsters weren't just enemies, but also players in another sense – the strong prey on the weak, and only the fittest survive.
Even for Yang Shung in his past life, the road to power was a difficult one.
And now, bringing along his younger sister, Yang Xiaoyou, who was even more of a burden…
"This life, I'll play alone. I'll develop faster this way."
Yang Shung thought.
Holding a scrap iron short knife, he left the town.
On his way, he saw a few groups of players standing together.
There was a chubby man standing by the roadside, looking around in confusion: "Hey, where is this place? The Land Abandoned by the Gods? What is a profession? What is a code name... I just came home after staying up all night and lied down. Am I hallucinating?"
A young man wearing glasses stood next to him, equally confused: "I don't know, I ate too many snacks all night and just fell asleep, how did I end up here?"
The chubby man laughed: "Brother, what kind of chicken were you eating? Tell me about it..."
Yang Shung ignored them.
It was normal for the first batch of players to be confused about this game.
Suddenly, several white lights appeared in front of him.
Swish!
Five figures were reshaped in front of Yang Shung…
"I almost forgot that this is the resurrection point."
Yang Shung was about to walk around when a girl in a black short-sleeved shirt appeared right in front of him.
The girl looked a little unhappy, as if she had just died.
The people who reshaped beside her were three men and one woman. They seemed to be a team that had just returned from death in the wild.
Clearly…
They had lost half of their remaining life span!
"That wild monster was too fierce, right? One bite and it took half of my health! How do we even beat it?"
"Wasn't it just a level 1 creeper? We surrounded it, but we only took one-third of its health."
"We were all wiped out..."
"Sister Li Zi, what do we do now?"
The group of people looked at the girl leading them.
The girl, with a ponytail and holding a worn-out longbow, looked like an archer.
However…
Yang Shung noticed right away that she was a hidden profession!
Because an ordinary archer would start with a shortbow, not a longbow.
Because of this, she became the leader of the group and gave the orders.
"If we can't beat them, let's find someone else."
The girl, Li Zi, looked in Yang Shung's direction: "This big brother seems to be a hidden profession. Why don't we invite him to our team? Strength in numbers... Anyway, the max team size is six, and we're still one short."
Her judgment was on point.
Since there was already an assassin in their team, the initial weapon was different from Yang Shung's scrap iron short knife.
A soft-spoken girl with long hair approached Yang Shung: "Brother, will you team up with us? The wild monsters outside are really strong, and one person can't handle them. Our team has been wiped out once already. We have some experience!"
Hearing this, Yang Shung wanted to laugh.
Experience?
Their experience was probably dying over and over…
Yang Shung shook his head, ignoring the girl, and walked straight out of the town.
His body language clearly rejected the invitation to team up.
This caused 'Sister Li Zi' and the three men behind her to look disappointed.
They hadn't expected the assassin-looking guy to be so dismissive…
What surprised them more was that Yang Shung was actually leaving the town alone!
"I'm dying of laughter. We've already told him it's dangerous outside, but he's still going alone?"
"He wants to take down a wild monster that even five of us can't handle?"
"Don't be like that. He's a hidden profession, an assassin. Maybe he can run away if he can't beat it."
The group laughed and talked.
No one cared much.
Except for Li Zi, who checked Yang Shung's information and saw his code name.
"Code name 'Shadow'? What a pretentious guy."
Li Zi sneered: "Let's follow him and see how he dies. Maybe we can figure out how the monsters behave..."
She waved her hand, signaling the others to follow.
It wasn't that she cared about seeing someone else die, but this strange place was too mysterious. She wanted to observe others and learn more.
...
Yang Shung arrived at the town's border.
The border wasn't very obvious, just some rotten wood fences.
Once crossed, it was no longer a safe zone.
As he left, Yang Shung noticed that Li Zi was following him with her group.
Stealth!
Yang Shung activated the skill without hesitation.
In an instant, his figure blended into the environment, and he vanished from their sight!
