Chapter 63 The strength increases explosively (1)
The mounts themselves would have no way of attacking, or at least those sold in the Eminentis City saddle store. But, the mounts were also divided into different ranges. From weak to strong, they were divided into first grade, second grade, third grade, fourth grade, fifth grade, Immortal grade, Heaven grade, God grade and Holy grade. The mounts sold by the saddle store were from first to fourth grade, which were also easy for the players to obtain.
From the fifth grade, the mounts would have a special skill. They could even have an attacking skill that could help their masters to fight. But, mounts of fifth grade and above were difficult to obtain, it was not something that normal players could expect to have. The fourth grade Ferghana horse already cost thirty thousand gold coins, so one can imagine the terrifying value of higher grade mounts.
Even if a player gets a mount of the fifth grade or higher, he or she would usually keep it for himself instead of selling it. Of course, some players who sell high level equipment, pets, mounts, etc. to make money in the real world are the exception to this rule.
Players who have no need to sell their game stuff and exchange their gold for real money always keep the best items for themselves, their friends or guild. Not only wealthy players, normal students who really want to enjoy the game instead of thinking of it as a job are the same.
Although mounts can be used within Eminentis City, Xie Feng walked quietly to the southern gate of the city while appreciating the beautiful style of the buildings. A medieval style from the time of kings and nobles that in today's technological world cannot be appreciated.
The reason why Xie Feng walked out, wasting some time, instead of just riding a horse is because he does not want to attract attention.
To say that today's Xie Feng is under the eyes of the whole world is not an exaggeration, so to avoid the unwanted eyes he would rather waste 10 minutes and thus keep his life peaceful.

South of Eminentis City there was a plain not far away, it was called the Fresh Plains. Here, a group of small, weak animals roamed. But nowadays, there were players everywhere. At this time, the highest level players were still on level eleven and this was a map with level ten to twelve mobs, so it was the best place for people to move around.
Added to this the fact that most of the quests posted on the Mercenary Guild board were about collecting low level weed or killing weak monsters this place currently had the most players.
Of course, these monsters are weak from Xie Feng's point of view. As for whether they are really weak, the rest of the players will have their own opinions about it.
Xie Feng was not in a hurry to finish the One Mission delivered by King Hu Yi. The time limit is half a month and it would only take him four days at most to reach the Dark Forest. Then he simply has to look for the possible monster's lair. He doesn't think that with more than ten days of time he can't find that monster.
What Xie Feng actually cares about was testing his current strength against monsters and trying to level up. Since he got his profession he did not fight against any player and any monster.
Looking at his current status window, Xie Feng smiled slightly.

Xie Feng's strength increase after obtaining his profession was enormous. Especially his health points, resistences and agility points were lagging behind the other statistics.
The agility statistic is just as important as the others but at the same time the most elusive in the whole game.
If Samsara Online was only a computer or console video game, then the agility statistics would be equal to the rest. However, in a virtual reality game where the players can move their body freely is different.
Although the speed of movement is still tied to the amount of points the players have at that moment, as long as the player has the ability to analyze and based on that analysis move earlier, he or she can dodge attacks normally.
This is the reason why Xie Feng can move so freely.
Happy with his progress, Xie Feng took a steamed bun out of his inventory and began to eat it to reduce his hunger as 150 points is in a dangerous area. Wouldn't it be ridiculous to lose a battle just for not paying attention to his own condition?.
Passing through the crowd of players with a tiger mask, Xie Feng goes deeper into the Fresh Plains. He kept walking until he could no longer see the shadow of any player.
***
Fresh Plains, level fifteen kangaroo kicker territory.
A level fifteen monster was something that a normal player at this stage cannot face.
Xie Feng finished eating casually, lowering his need to eat something and used to inspect one of the kangaroos that was currently jumping around.
[Kangaroo Kicker]
[Level: 15]
[HP: 1200]
[Note: In the past he was a normal kangaroo, yet he seems to have attained enlightenment. It has sensitive legs, fast and swift. Does not like to be confused with Kangaroo J*ck.]
(Skills):
[Double Strike: When jumping, hits the enemy with both legs, hitting twice in one second. Has some chance to cause critical hit.]
Xie Feng deliberately ignored the name of a certain famous American movie about the monster and activated Aura Wind, increasing the damage of his physical attacks by 100%.
The Wind Aura skill costs 100 mana points per second, so even Xie Feng could only keep the skill active for 31 seconds before his mana is completely drained.
Fortunately the Ring of the God of Destruction has a 10% mana regeneration. Xie Feng's current MP is over 3000, so he regenerates over 300 mana points per second.
As its statistics increase, the passive properties of the ring as a mana regenerator begin to show their effect even more.
Xie Feng approached one of the kangaroos while pulling out a noble-looking sword with a silvery sheen from his inventory.
[Blood Sword]
[Equipment grade: Silver]
[Equipment Requirements: Level 10]
[Properties: Physical Attack +30 / STR +5 / Regenerates 200 health points per second while out of combat.]
[Note: A sword that drinks the blood of killed enemies and stores them for the use of its owner.]
The bronze sword previously used by Xie Feng was destroyed in his 'battle' against Lucifer inside the Shrine of the Fallen Angel. Yet the system seemed to feel the pain of its loss.
One of the rewards for overcoming the mode of Despair was a random silver-grade object, the object that Xie Feng received was this sword. Perhaps because it is an item given directly by the system, it does not need to be identified like the rest of the items normally.
Xie Feng's physical attack in a normal state is 190. However, after activating Aura Wind.... Xie Feng looked at his current physical attack point and smiled slightly.
[Physical Attack Damage: 380]
His current physical damage is even higher than his magic attack. However, since he does not have physical attack abilities, the damage caused by his magical attacks is superior.
In addition, the Ring of the God of Destruction has a 50% increase in damage from magical attacks when it attacks an enemy. So saying that his physical attack was superior to his magical attack was not exactly correct either.
As if to test his own thoughts, Xie Feng approached the kangaroo who was looking at him with its big eyes without any intention of attacking him.
