Twenty meters away.
Xin Zhongze quickly cast Fireball at a Demonic Megarhinoceros.
Whoosh!
The next moment, the Fireball quickly streaked through space, accurately hitting the Demonic Megarhinoceros's head.
Roar, roar...
Suddenly attacked, the Demonic Megarhinoceros immediately entered combat mode.
-87.
-76.
-81.
Three numbers appeared above the Demonic Megarhinoceros's head.
The next moment, another Fireball accurately struck the Demonic Megarhinoceros's head.
At the same time, as the Demonic Megarhinoceros approached Xin Zhongze, his agility, which was as high as 24, kept a distance of over ten meters from the Demonic Megarhinoceros.
After 5 Fireballs, the Demonic Megarhinoceros collapsed directly.
Such damage was truly terrifying; the entire process took less than ten seconds.
Killing a Demonic Megarhinoceros also consumed 16 points of Xin Zhongze's mana.
Xin Zhongze quickly drank a bottle of mana potion and then cast Fireball on another Demonic Megarhinoceros nearby.
One had to admit, the damage of Fireball was truly explosive, much faster than direct close-quarters combat with a sword.
Under such circumstances, Xin Zhongze could kill an average of 4 Level 10 Demonic Megarhinoceros per minute.
Three and a half hours later, Xin Zhongze's level successfully rose from Level 9 to Level 10.
After reaching Level 10, Xin Zhongze immediately equipped the gear he had purchased from the Novice Village NPC but hadn't equipped before.
Under these circumstances, Xin Zhongze's attributes improved further.
Upon reaching Level 10, Xin Zhongze gained 5 more free attribute points.
After some thought, Xin Zhongze allocated all these attribute points to magic attack, bringing his base magic attack to 30 points.
"Huh? Why am I not getting experience anymore?"
Just as Xin Zhongze reached Level 10, he discovered that he could no longer gain experience points from killing monsters.
"Could it be time to change professions?"
Xin Zhongze recalled that after completing the Level 7 quest to obtain Fireball, his subsequent quest was to reach Level 10, clear the path to the main city, and find a Magister to become an apprentice mage.
Xin Zhongze opened his quest page and saw a map appear, with the path to the main city marked on it.
So, did he need to clear the path from Novice Village to the main city by killing all monsters along the way?
After some thought, Xin Zhongze walked out of the Level 10 monster zone and soon arrived on the path to the main city.
Just as Xin Zhongze appeared on the path to the main city, his gaze fell upon a dozen or so monkey-like monsters dozens of meters away.
Demonic Great Ape: (Level 11, HP 1200, Attack 35, Defense 21, Agility 19, Skill: Infection...)
These were a group of Level 11 monsters.
Just as Xin Zhongze saw the Demonic Great Apes, the dozen or so Demonic Great Apes also saw Xin Zhongze.
Roar, roar, roar.
Dozens of meters away, a group of Demonic Great Apes quickly charged towards Xin Zhongze.
"Holy crap!"
Seeing this situation, Xin Zhongze turned and ran.
These Demonic Great Apes were too terrifying; their aggro range was so far.
Xin Zhongze might not be afraid of a single Demonic Great Ape, but against a group, he could only run.
However, Xin Zhongze didn't just run; he also attacked with Fireball while moving.
He could only control the Fireball's flight for 20 meters; beyond that, hitting was a matter of luck.
Fortunately, there was a group of Demonic Great Apes behind him, so his Fireball always managed to hit one of them.
Thus, relying on his agility of 24, Xin Zhongze began kiting the group of Demonic Great Apes.
At the same time, he was casting Fireball and drinking potions.
If he didn't drink potions, his mana would quickly be depleted.
Seven or eight minutes later, Xin Zhongze led the group of Demonic Great Apes in a few circles before finally dispatching them.
However, to Xin Zhongze's regret, even though he killed Level 11 monsters, he didn't gain any experience points.
After dealing with this group of Demonic Great Apes, Xin Zhongze thought for a moment and decided to return to Novice Village.
He could complete the quest to clear the main city passage later; he planned to first help Xu Muyan reach Level 10.
Just as Xin Zhongze was returning to Novice Village, something surprising happened.
Because he saw a player in Novice Village.
When Xin Zhongze saw the other person, the other person also saw Xin Zhongze.
This was a woman of the same age as Xin Zhongze; of course, anyone who could appear in the same Novice Village would naturally be of the same age.
"Hi! You're a player too, right?"
After seeing Xin Zhongze, the woman actually took the initiative to greet him.
"Hello, my name is He Yingxue, what's your name?" the woman asked Xin Zhongze.
"Xin Zhongze."
"Hello, Xin Zhongze."
Meeting a living person in the game truly made He Yingxue somewhat happy.
"Are you from the He Family of the 36 Great Families?" Xin Zhongze asked He Yingxue.
Xin Zhongze was preparing to trick He Yingxue.
Previously, he had encountered two people who claimed to be from the 36 Great Families, and they attacked him without a word.
If He Yingxue was from the 36 Great Families, Xin Zhongze would not hesitate to kill her.
"What 36 Great Families? I don't know." He Yingxue looked confused.
Hearing this, Xin Zhongze lowered his guard a bit; it was fine as long as she wasn't from the 36 Great Families.
"Why did you suddenly enter the game?" Xin Zhongze asked He Yingxue.
"Something happened to me in reality, so I must learn magic in the game world, and I must become a superior person in the real world..."
After He Yingxue finished speaking, she immediately said to Xin Zhongze, "Big brother, how about we team up to fight monsters? It's safer with two people. I'm not planning to leave until I reach Level 7, otherwise, I might not dare to enter the game next time."
Hearing He Yingxue's words, Xin Zhongze directly shook his head: "I'm not interested. I just came to the game to take a look, you can level up on your own."
After speaking, Xin Zhongze directly exited the game.
He was already Level 10, and there was no more leveling he could do before changing professions; he wouldn't just help others level up for free.
Just as Xin Zhongze left, a look of disappointment appeared on He Yingxue's face.
She had finally found a player, and he had directly exited the game.
