Chapter 2 – Fired for Watching a Promo?

The Red-Eyed Rabbits were indeed easy to hunt, but the experience points they provided were pitifully low. They almost exclusively dropped quest items, the Red Eyes, and even copper coins were a rare find.

However, Lin Tianhao was tirelessly hunting them, as his main goal was to stack his health points.

As long as his health increased, his attack damage would naturally rise as well.

Moreover, Lin Tianhao knew of a hidden reward in the Novice Village. When submitting the Red-Eyed Rabbit quest, if he increased the required one hundred Red-Eyed Rabbit Eyes to ten thousand, he could obtain a special skill. This skill could increase the range of his normal attacks, and at max level, it was said to increase the range by fifty percent.

For classes like Mages and Priests, this might seem trivial, but for Lin Tianhao, an Archer, it was incredibly advantageous.

With his attributes stacked and this skill to increase attack range, his next plan could be implemented.

"Ding, you have killed a Red-Eyed Rabbit, experience +1."

"Ding, you have killed a Red-Eyed Rabbit, experience +1."

...

In three seconds, he could stack two points of health; in a minute, that was forty points. Accounting for movement and the downtime between monster deaths, Lin Tianhao could average thirty health points per minute.

Initially, Lin Tianhao needed twelve arrows to kill a Red-Eyed Rabbit, then ten, eight, and five arrows.

When he only needed five arrows, the system notification sounded.

"Ding, your talent Hand of Heavenly Punishment has upgraded to 2-Star."

Hand of Heavenly Punishment (Super God-rank): 2-Star.

Effect 1: Each normal attack deals true damage equal to 2% of your health.

Effect 2: Each normal attack permanently increases health by 2 points.

Proficiency: 0/100000.

With the talent upgrade, Lin Tianhao now needed only three arrows to kill a Red-Eyed Rabbit.

Fortunately, more than eight hours of game time had passed, and there were no other players around the Red-Eyed Rabbits. Otherwise, Lin Tianhao might have attracted quite an audience.

During this time, Lin Tianhao smoothly leveled up to level 2, gaining five Free Attribute Points.

He allocated all the Free Attribute Points to attack speed, increasing it from 0.63 to 0.73.

Although it was an improvement, it was still a drop in the bucket.

"Equipment and Free Attribute Points, these are what I'm lacking now."

Lin Tianhao thought to himself as he released an arrow, hitting a Red-Eyed Rabbit not far away.

-30.

With his health and talent improved, Lin Tianhao's normal attack damage was now quite impressive.

Three arrows per Red-Eyed Rabbit, his efficiency improved, but it meant he needed to frequently target new Red-Eyed Rabbits, slowing his attack progress.

Originally, he could attack thirty times a minute, but now only twenty times. Fortunately, with the talent upgrade, each normal attack increased his health by two points, totaling forty points per minute, more than before.

However, Lin Tianhao faced a problem: killing level 1 monsters at level 2 yielded no experience points.

In Ragnarok, except for dungeons, bosses, and a few special monsters, killing monsters below one's level provided no experience rewards.

Without hesitation, Lin Tianhao chose to continue farming Red-Eyed Rabbits, solely for that special skill that increased attack range.

Two hours passed in the blink of an eye.

Lin Tianhao remained at level 2, but his health had skyrocketed from the original 100 points to 4800 points.

This was an incredibly terrifying increase.

At this stage, even those level 5 Warriors who focused solely on health points should only have around 500 health.

In Ragnarok, different classes had different attribute point enhancements.

For example, Archers gained 0.02 attack speed per Free Attribute Point, while other classes gained 0.01.

Warriors gained 20 health per Free Attribute Point, while other classes gained 10.

Specifically, Warriors focused on health, armor, and magic resistance, all doubled.

Archers focused on attack, attack speed, and critical hits.

Assassins focused on attack, movement speed, and critical hits.

Mages focused on magic power, mana, and movement speed.

Priests focused on magic power, mana, and movement speed, similar to Mages.

Therefore, the direction of Free Attribute Point allocation varied for different classes.

But relying solely on Free Attribute Points from leveling was insufficient; equipment support was needed for a comprehensive attribute boost.

Looking at his inventory of Red Eyes, he had collected only about 1600, far from the ten thousand needed.

However, Lin Tianhao wasn't worried at all, as he could now kill a Red-Eyed Rabbit with a single arrow, making it much easier to collect Red Eyes.

At that moment, Lin Tianhao received a message; it was an external device calling him.

Glancing at the game time, it had been over ten hours, likely a call to log off for a meal.

Exiting the Gaming Pod, Zhou Xiaopang excitedly said, "Brother Hao, this game is so realistic, it's like a second world."

As they spoke, the two headed to the dining hall.

Dream Chasers Club.

One of the three major gaming clubs in Binhai, Lin Tianhao and Zhou Xiaopang were just gold farmers for the club, the lowest tier.

But for Zhou Xiaopang, having food, accommodation, and getting paid to play games was the best thing in the world.

In the dining hall, there were a dozen others, all gold farmers for the Dream Chasers Club.

Once everyone was present, a portly middle-aged man entered, followed by a long-legged secretary in black stockings.

The general manager of Dream Chasers Club, Li Haitao!

Also known as Li Loudmouth, not much gaming talent, but a lot of hot air.

"Today, Ragnarok launched, and you've been in the game for ten hours. From left to right, report your level and gold farming progress."

"Level 4, forty-five copper coins."

"Level 4, fifty-three copper coins."

"Level 4, thirty-two copper coins."

...

One by one, they reported, almost all at level 4.

Finally, it was Zhou Xiaopang's turn, and he smugly said, "Level 5, two silver coins."

Li Haitao, who hadn't been paying much attention, suddenly looked up, a bit surprised, and finally nodded, saying, "Not bad."

Lin Tianhao kept his head down, eating, as Zhou Xiaopang nudged him, "Brother Hao, it's your turn."

"Level 2, fifteen copper coins."

The drop rate for level 1 Red-Eyed Rabbits was truly dismal. Lin Tianhao had killed over a thousand, yet only collected this small amount of copper coins.

Hearing Lin Tianhao's words, Li Haitao slammed the table.

"Lin Tianhao, what's going on? Everyone else is level 4, why are you only level 2?"

"Got caught up watching the promotional video," Lin Tianhao replied honestly.

"Watching the promotional video?"

"Don't you know how valuable early game time is? Watching a promotional video?"

Li Haitao berated him without holding back.

"Lin Tianhao, the club doesn't support slackers. We don't need internet addicts like you. Pack your things and get out!"
