Jiang Fei looked around. Pemula Village does not offer anything impressive. All that is there are just the essentials — breads and butter of all MMORPGs. There were a total of 12 NPCs around, and only nine quests were available. One quick chat-and-grab will allow players to easily accept all quests.
“Wahai Great Adventurer! You have arrived! Our restaurant has run out of all our food supplies! Can you help us collect 10 pieces of Chicken Meat? You will be rewarded as you deserve!”
“Wahai Great Adventurer! You have arrived! We've used all the leather in the tailor shop. Can you hunt and collect 10 pieces of Deer Skin? You will be rewarded as you deserve!”
“Wahai Great Adventurer! You have arrived! We've run out of herbs to make medicine for people! Can you collect 10 Briarthorns? You will be rewarded as you deserve!”
Everything is the same.The same conversation opener, the same reply option.
…
“It's out of control. We are too dense!”
Jiang Fei sighed. The search for beginners from the Village Starter will be easy. It's given. The problem now is the disproportionate ratio between player/monster populations. The monster would only be allowed its miserable existence for half a second before its head rolled to the ground, having been thrown by one person in a sardine package filled with players before being stomped to the ground. Monsters could not provide any resistance. Become an early bird and pick up your booty which quickly becomes a tremendous pain in the neck.
As Jiang Fei was about to lose his temper, he came across a monster that had yet to find his own dance partner. He ran in that direction. That's when something interesting happened.
Level: 1
Health Points: 50
Attack Power: 5
Skills: None
Note: The weak monsters of the Beginner Village are low hostility. Related Searches “Gather Chicken Meat.” Quest Initiator: Restaurant Owner.
“Wah! What the-what? That's a lot of detailed information!”
Jiang Fei stopped his steps and stared at the information popup. Before playing the game, Jiang Fei had done some research on Dawn Break. According to information released to the public, some skills allow identification. Only players with those skills could have access to monster names, levels, and Health Points. Such information cannot be accessed by just anyone!
However, not only could Jiang Fei read the detailed information about the monster, he could even see if it was related to another quest! Even the search initiator will be revealed! It was basically an encyclopedia of games! Jiang Fei stared at the ring on his finger.
The ring hummed and slightly shone, as if it was acknowledging him, realizing everything.
“Could this tool be a hacking tool..?” Jiang Fei muttered to himself.
“Argh!” Jiang Fei lightly slapped himself. “I can't stop in the middle of the road to think about this every time! Time to grind and level up!”
Jiang Fei was the type of man who would not refuse pleasure. Anything he could not break or comprehend at this moment would be thrown into the corner of his head and forgotten. His attention was now on Grindir!
“Ding! You killed Plymouth Rock Chicken. Earn 2 Experience Points. Obtained 1 Item Chicken Meat Quest!”
In the game, all search items will be automatically saved into the player's inventory. Other items such as potions, utensils, and DLL items will require manual looting. The remnants of the recent killing will emit a dim light if the loot is still there.
Now that he had found a target to kill, Jiang Fei wasted no time at all and jumped onto the next poor little chicken. These skills would be given to all players by the Village Chief.
“Ding! You have used the Gathering and got 1 Chicken Meat!”
After collecting the items, Jiang Fei's first grinding session on Dawn Break began.
…
“Ding! Congrats! Verdure Glider players had reached Level 1! All Attribute Points +2!”
As his ears echoed with notification bells, Jiang Fei's euphoria quickly faded. That name. That silly name. He knew sooner, he would end up with a better name! However, if he wanted to remove his character and start over, he would have to wait for an entire week to recreate the character! Jiang Fei would never allow himself to waste that much time! There was no choice but to swallow his embarrassment.
In this game, characters below Level 10 would have all Attribute Points distributed evenly. 10 Attribute Points will be awarded for each level earned. Before Level 10, Attribute players would each earn 2 points. After that, those 10 Attribute Points would be split into two. Five will be distributed evenly, and the other five will be given to players to invest manually.
“WOOHOO! Time to kill!”
After leveling up, Jiang Fei, who was now a little more nimble, rushed towards the Wild Rabbit field.
“Ding! You killed the Wild Rabbit! Get 5 Experience Points! Obtained Quest Items: 1 Lucky Rabbit's Food!”
“Ding! You have used Gathering and got 1 Delicious Rabbit Meat!”
…
Two hours later, Jiang Fei was already Level 4. Along the way, he obtained another piece of equipment; the torn Cloth Armor Bottom Pants that provided more humility than Defense.
At the time, the system issued a warning about how its inventory was in full capacity. Many items had been moved into the mysterious ring inventory. There was only one small warning about the ring. Items from the ground could not be directly placed into the inventory ring. He had to manually move all the items from his own character inventory to the ring inventory before being able to loot more from the ground. Thus, in order to ease his game, Jiang Fei had moved all the DLL items into the ring inventory and simply placed the search items in his character's inventory.
