Ordinary Newbie Longbow (Common)
Attack: 2
Equipment Level: 1
"Good, good!"
Although it only added a little attack power, this was just the beginning.
Next, Jiang Bai successively synthesized three more white common-level newbie weapons and then placed the newbie longbow and these two newbie weapons into the fusion interface at the same time. Of course, the longbow was still in the "main equipment" slot, and it was obvious that the final fusion result would be based on the "main equipment."
He pressed "Fusion" once again, and the fleeting white light turned into a faint green glow.
Jiang Bai rubbed his hands excitedly and picked up the weapon.
Good Newbie Longbow (Good)
Attack: 3
Agility: 1
Equipment Level: 1
"Awesome!"
Jiang Bai couldn't help but shout out. Just this 1 point of agility, when converted according to Jiang Bai's growth potential, was equivalent to 5 points of attack!
His starting speed had doubled directly!
Then, with eight pieces of equipment used, a longbow with a faint blue glow appeared before Jiang Bai as the light flashed.
Fine Newbie Longbow (Fine)
Attack: 5
Agility: 1
Strength: 1
"Strong!!!"
Jiang Bai immediately equipped the blue longbow, and his attack attribute surged from 5 points to 15 points instantly!
His attack strength also became 4 points.
Attack strength is essentially the additional physical damage of an attack and can be simply understood as another form of attack power.
At the same time, Jiang Bai synthesized all the newbie cloth armors in his bag and obtained a blue cloth armor.

"This is great!"
"An ordinary level 1 player, even those in attack-oriented classes, can only have up to 5 points of attack, and I already have several times that difference!"
"Awesome!"
Holding the only blue longbow in the entire area, Jiang Bai looked at those demonized rabbits again, feeling his excitement surge.
"Considering attack strength, my arrow now deals 24 damage. The rabbits have 80 health points, so it will take four attacks. If I maintain a 30-yard attack distance, I can kill one with at most one hit taken!"
With that thought, Jiang Bai took a deep breath and shot an arrow. "-24"
As expected, the demonized rabbit, with 0 defense, had no damage reduction ability, and its health bar dropped by a quarter with one arrow.
Of course, the demonized rabbit was indeed not slow. The moment it was attacked, it lunged at Jiang Bai with its fangs and claws bared.
Thirty yards is neither too far nor too close. When Jiang Bai shot his second arrow, the demonized rabbit had already closed nearly half the distance.
"-24"
With more than half of its health bar gone, Jiang Bai repeated the same tactic. The third arrow left the rabbit with only 8 health points.
But at the same time, Jiang Bai was attacked by the demonized rabbit.
The -11 damage was negligible, after all, Jiang Bai now had a full 60 health points!
At the same time, the fourth arrow finally whistled out, and after another "-22," the demonized rabbit finally fell, turning into a flash of experience light that flowed into Jiang Bai's body.
You have killed the Demonized Rabbit, gaining 5 experience points.
Looking at the empty ground after the demonized rabbit's death, Jiang Bai couldn't help but spit out in frustration.
"Phew! Not even a single copper coin!"
"But it's still pretty satisfying!"
Looking at the newbie players all over the hills, who were teaming up to kill monsters, Jiang Bai still felt a sense of achievement. After all, with the difficulty of Genesis, there probably weren't many players who could solo kill monsters at the moment, unless they had a similar stroke of luck like him.
"If you team up, the loot and experience are split evenly. So, my monster-killing profit is five times that of an ordinary player!"
"It's not noticeable in a short time, but over a long period, this is going to be terrifying!"
The key issue was that their entire team's monster-killing efficiency wasn't even as high as his own.
"Twenty rabbits are enough for me to level up to 2!"
Suddenly, Jiang Bai was full of motivation. While quietly killing monsters, he didn't forget to pick up the newbie equipment that had dropped from the dead newbie players. After all, theoretically, with another 54 pieces of newbie weapons, he could upgrade his longbow to purple!
"That's an epic-level piece of equipment. I heard that equipment above the epic level will have special attributes!"
As a professional gold farmer, hard work and endurance are basic qualities.
It took Jiang Bai less than two hours to kill twenty demonized rabbits. With a golden light bathing his body, he successfully leveled up to 2.
The drop rate was also incredibly low. Out of twenty monsters, there was not a single piece of equipment, and only three copper coins!
Congratulations on reaching level 2, gaining 2 free attribute points.
Every level up grants +1 to all attributes, and an additional 2 free attribute points. Jiang Bai unhesitatingly allocated both points to agility, bringing his attack to 35.
"I'm so strong now!"
"Now it only takes three hits to kill a rabbit, and I can farm monsters without taking any damage!"
"Of course, farming monsters at the same level is boring. Grinding higher-level monsters is the real deal!"
While walking back to the village, Jiang Bai pondered, "With the power of the Heart of Genesis, it would be a shame not to be able to grind higher-level monsters while wearing these two blue pieces of equipment."
After turning in the quest, Jiang Bai received 50 experience points and 10 copper coins. He also wandered around the village again. Perhaps because the old blacksmith's quest required a higher level, unlike other NPCs who were surrounded by players, the old blacksmith was currently alone.
"Hey, old man, what quests do you have? Hurry up and give them out."
Jiang Bai shouted at the old blacksmith, who was bare-chested and had dark skin, busy with his blacksmithing.
"Get lost."
The old blacksmith didn't even glance at Jiang Bai, continuing to forge metal on his own. "With just you? Level 2? You think you're qualified?"
"Whoa?"
Jiang Bai was instantly bewildered by this high-intelligence NPC. "I've never seen an NPC refuse a player before."
"This is outrageous."
Jiang Bai glared at the old blacksmith. "Old man, you're really disrespectful. How can you look down on people like that?"
"Do you want me to respect you?" The old blacksmith slowly raised his head, his eyes full of disdain. "Show me your strength. The quests here are all level 4 and above. How do you plan to do them?"
"Why don't you just give them out? Are level 4 quests that impressive? Today, I'm determined to take on your quests."
"Haha." The old blacksmith's iron hammer head revealed a cold smile at the corner of his mouth. "Kid, you should have experienced the difficulty of Genesis. Are you sure you're not asking for death by trying to do quests above your level?"
"Old man, stop talking nonsense. Today, I'm here to challenge myself."
"There are penalties for failing my quests!"
"If you say one more word, I'll chop you down with my blade."
Jiang Bai brandished his blade, looking quite like a beggar with a sense of chivalry.
"Hahaha!" The old blacksmith suddenly burst into laughter. "Die, you little brat!"
