As Lin Tianhao was checking the skill attributes, many players were shocked by his server-wide announcement.
"Damn, who is this guy? Such a monster, soloing the Novice Village boss."
"Xue Di? I've never heard of this ID before. Does anyone know which guild he's from?"
"Aren't the conditions to trigger the Novice Village boss really harsh? How did he do it? I've heard there are ten bosses in the Novice Village, but none have been triggered so far."
Many were discussing, especially top players who knew how outrageous it was to solo a boss at this stage.
Lin Tianhao didn't bother with the chatter. After learning the skill, he checked the weapon reward.
Thunderclap Bow: Silver.
Requirements: No level requirement, limited to the Archer class.
Effect 1: Attack +300.
Effect 2: Critical rate +15%.
Effect 3: 15% chance to trigger paralysis on attack.
Effect 4: 15% chance to splash damage to surrounding enemy units on attack.
Seeing the Thunderclap Bow's attributes, Lin Tianhao was dumbfounded.
The attributes were barely better than nothing!
Indeed, in Lin Tianhao's view, the most useful might be the paralysis effect, but the probability was so low.
As for attack power, as long as his health was stacked, the attack power was irrelevant.
Honestly!
For him, it was only useful in the Novice Village.
And damn, this was a Silver weapon, Lin Tianhao felt like his mindset was being messed with.
It was just too ridiculous.
Couldn't they add +1 attack speed?
This was a gank from the system.
Rubbing his hands, Lin Tianhao turned his gaze to the Twisted Treant King.

Finally, it was time for the much-anticipated loot phase.
"Ding, you obtained the Treant King Necklace."
"Ding, you obtained the skill Rejuvenation."
"Ding, you obtained the Treant King Helmet."
"Ding, you obtained +5 gold coins."
"Ding, you obtained the Heart of the Treant King."
Looking at the loot in his hands, aside from the gold coins, it seemed there was nothing he could use.
Wait, this Rejuvenation skill seemed pretty good.
Rejuvenation: 1-Star.
Effect: Restores 1 health point per second, not interrupted by attacks.
Cooldown: None.
Cost: None.
Proficiency: 0/1000 (Proficiency equals health points, note, this skill has no star level cap.)
Initially, Lin Tianhao didn't care much for the Rejuvenation skill, but when he saw the proficiency description, he was stunned.
Was this a surprise from the system?
His talent, Hand of Heavenly Punishment, could infinitely stack health.
It perfectly matched this skill!
Auto-healing, in some ways, was even more broken than lifesteal.
"Learn."
Lin Tianhao immediately learned the skill.
Rejuvenation (Passive Skill): 3-Star.
Effect: Restores 50 health points per second, not interrupted by attacks.
Cooldown: None.
Cost: None.
Proficiency: 25130/100000 (Proficiency equals health points, note, this skill has no star level cap.)
Solid!
With this skill, Lin Tianhao felt his safety factor skyrocketing.
"Revive quickly, do you want to level up or not?"
Lin Tianhao blocked private messages and friend requests, sending a message to Futu Dunshan.
Meanwhile, he started grinding.
"Whoosh!"
Lin Tianhao equipped the Thunderclap Bow, hitting an Elite-grade Twisted Treant's core with an arrow.
-1524.
A huge red number appeared.
Critical hit!
At the same time, an arc of electricity leaped from the Elite-grade Twisted Treant, jumping to five surrounding Twisted Treants.
-152.
-152.
...
Damage numbers popped up one after another.
Taking damage, a total of six Twisted Treants began closing in on Lin Tianhao.
However, Lin Tianhao was unfazed.
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
...
Critical hit, critical hit, and more critical hits...
Lin Tianhao's current critical rate was sixteen percent, already decent at this stage.
Plus, with Lin Tianhao's weak point strikes, his critical damage increased.
Originally needing twelve arrows to kill an Elite-grade Twisted Treant, now only four were needed.
Moreover, due to Lightning Leap, after killing the first Twisted Treant, the others lost 608 health points.
As Lin Tianhao kited them, more and more Twisted Treants were drawn in.
"This Lightning Leap is a double-edged sword, pulling so much aggro at once. If I can't handle it, I'll be dead in two hits."
Looking at the horde of Twisted Treants following him, Lin Tianhao felt a bit helpless.
Fortunately, with his incredible attack speed, he could easily take down a Twisted Treant in two seconds with four arrows.
And because of Lightning Leap, he only needed three arrows, or even two, to kill the subsequent Twisted Treants.
"Ding, you leveled up to 7, Free Attribute Points +5."
Without hesitation, Lin Tianhao allocated all his Free Attribute Points to attack speed.
From 2.13 attack speed to 2.23.
"Xue Di, I'm here."
Futu Dunshan arrived late, just in time to witness Lin Tianhao's terrifying monster farming speed.
"Xue Di, you've gotten stronger again."
Lin Tianhao sent a party invite, this time, the experience points split was still nine to one, but Futu Dunshan got nine, and he got one.
The next period was spent completing Futu Dunshan's task, then preparing for the next steps.
With an attack speed of 2.23, plus Lightning Leap, Lin Tianhao only took three hours to raise Futu Dunshan's level to 10.
Not only that, after hunting a large number of Elite-grade Twisted Treants, the Treant Set he promised Futu Dunshan also dropped.
Wearing the Treant Set, seeing the changes in his attributes, Futu Dunshan was stunned.
"Xue Di, this set is just too awesome."
Especially the two set effects, they were simply game-changing.
"I also have two Blackiron-grade pieces, dropped by the Twisted Treant King. Wearing them won't affect the set effects and can enhance attributes."
"How much?"
Though he hadn't known Lin Tianhao long, Futu Dunshan already understood his nature.
"Fifty thousand each."
Futu Dunshan twitched his mouth; Lin Tianhao was certainly asking for a lot.
"Five thousand for Blackiron equipment at this stage... alright."
After only a slight hesitation, Futu Dunshan agreed.
He was wealthy enough; otherwise, he wouldn't spend a hundred thousand on transitional gear.
No matter how good this set was, it was only for level ten.
In a week, this set would be obsolete.
Receiving the hundred thousand transfer, Lin Tianhao smiled with satisfaction.
"Pleasure doing business. I should be able to get more gear in the future, and we can continue our cooperation then."
