Liu Xuan once again allocated all 5 attribute points he gained from reaching level 5 into Strength, causing his HP to soar to 2,300 points.
At the same time, the poison damage from [Origin of Plague] reached 115, which was just enough to insta-kill the 100-HP [Bouncing Rabbits].
The damage from [Corpse Explosion] after a monster's death would then be 230!
Given the dense population of [Bouncing Rabbits] in the entire beginner village, he could easily create a chain reaction. Like igniting a powder keg, he could blow through the whole village!
Even so, Liu Xuan didn't act rashly.
He first walked a lap around the village and found a country dirt path connecting the village and the fields.
The stretch of path at the village entrance was also crawling with rabbits, looking just like an extended fuse.
"Perfect! I'll use you guys to light the spark!"
Liu Xuan swaggered down the path toward the village entrance.
Just as he reached the tip of the fuse, over a dozen [Bouncing Rabbits] snapped their heads around in unison, their small, scarlet eyes glaring fixedly at him.
They then let out bizarre squeaks and bounced right toward Liu Xuan.
Facing the surging tide of [Bouncing Rabbits], Liu Xuan didn't dodge their assault. Instead, he squatted down, extended his right index finger, and gently poked the head of the rabbit at the very front.
"What are you looking at? I'm here to collect your life!"
That [Bouncing Rabbit]'s eyes grew even redder, as if to say: I don't care about any of that, I just know you delivered yourself right to my doorstep.
It opened its mouth and chomped down on Liu Xuan's finger!
"-19!"
A pitifully low number floated up.
Meanwhile, a bright green [Poisoned] debuff appeared on the [Bouncing Rabbit].
At the same time, its passive [Frenzy] was triggered. Its attack speed began to stack, biting faster and faster as it buried its head and gnawed furiously.
The surrounding [Bouncing Rabbits] had also swarmed up, catching Liu Xuan and biting him wildly.
Although their attack speed was getting faster and faster, his HP was dropping far too slowly.
Liu Xuan just looked at the swarm of rabbits with a calm face and said, "Omae wa mou shindeiru (You are already dead)."
"Squeak!"
As soon as he spoke, the number 115 burst forth from the [Bouncing Rabbit] that had bitten him first, directly poisoning it to death!
Its corpse exploded, and a cluster of 230s instantly popped up around it, wiping out all the rabbits within a five-meter radius!
The corpses of these rabbits then triggered new [Corpse Explosions], detonating one after another like a string of lit firecrackers.
With five-meter radiuses, the blasts roared all the way into the heart of the village!
Because the rabbit density was simply too high and the trigger frequency too fast, the explosions blanketed the entire village in just a few breaths.
Liu Xuan's vision was completely spammed by a dense swarm of damage numbers and system messages.
"Killed [Bouncing Rabbit], gained 2 EXP."
"Killed [Bouncing Rabbit], gained 2 EXP."
"Killed [Bouncing Rabbit], gained 2 EXP."
"......"
[Congratulations on reaching Level 6. You have obtained 5 free attribute points.]
[You have new skills available to acquire.]
By the time all the numbers faded, the [Bouncing Rabbits] in the village had been wiped clean, instantly clearing his screen.
"Awesome! That was so satisfying!"
Liu Xuan felt like he had just dropped a full-screen ultimate in a hack-and-slash game, clearing the entire map in one wave.
He had no way to tell how many rabbits he had killed, so he could only look at his experience bar.
Level 6, 125/2600!
This wave of monsters directly leveled him up by more than an entire level.
Conservatively estimated, he had killed at least a thousand of them!
Now, with all the monsters cleared out, the ground was littered with all sorts of random dropped loot.
Among them, there seemed to be quite a few pieces of equipment.
The drop rate for equipment really was abysmal...
"However... why is there no prompt saying the beginner village has been conquered? Are there still monsters inside?"
Liu Xuan was a bit puzzled, entirely unaware that the progress of the Huaxia battlefield outside had instantly skyrocketed to 99%, causing a massive uproar.
Worried there might still be danger in the village, Liu Xuan didn't rush in. He decided to draw his skill first.
He pulled down the slot machine lever—he felt this was the most mechanically demanding part of playing the [Pacifist] class.
With a thought, the slot machine spun, and a new passive popped out:
[Voodoo Heart: If a monster dies while afflicted by your "Poisoned" status, and provides you with at least 1 EXP, you will permanently gain 1 base HP.]
F*ck, f*ck, f*ck!!!!!
Seeing this passive, Liu Xuan's mental defenses crumbled on the spot, and he almost jumped up to curse at the sky.
The damage of [Origin of Plague] was tied to his HP.
Now, monsters poisoned to death would increase his HP. Combined with [Giant's Blood], these passives were essentially an infinite scaling loop, letting him spiral straight into the heavens.
But the problem was! Why didn't it come earlier?!
If it had come earlier, he would have pulled the rabbits in this village out one by one, poisoned them, and farmed a massive wave of HP.
Over a thousand rabbits, fully farmed—that would have been over ten thousand HP!
"So frustrating!"
Liu Xuan felt a wave of depression, but then he remembered that the battlefield had stated from the beginning that there was no level cap.
This meant he could infinitely farm this attribute in the future, so there was no need to dwell on a temporary loss.
Who knows, clearing the beginner village this fast might even yield extra rewards.
After comforting himself for a moment, Liu Xuan once again dumped all 5 attribute points from his level-up into Strength.
For him right now, Strength was undoubtedly the most profitable and highest priority attribute.
After allocating them, his Strength reached 25 points, and his HP hit 2,800, on the verge of breaking 3,000!
Liu Xuan nodded in satisfaction and finally walked toward the village.
The ground was littered with various rabbit fluff, rabbit meat, and other items dropped by the [Bouncing Rabbits]. He had no idea what they were used for.
Fortunately, these materials stacked up to 100 per slot, so they didn't take up much inventory space. Otherwise, with only 20 inventory slots, he wouldn't have known what to do.
Aside from that, there were copper coins scattered everywhere. Liu Xuan walked around gathering them, picking up over two hundred.
Along the way, he also found five pieces of equipment:
[White Rabbit Ears (Head)]
Quality: Crude
Level Requirement: 3
Armor: +2
[Inferior Leather Armor (Chest)]
Quality: Crude
Level Requirement: 3
Armor: +4
"...."
[Lucky Rabbit's Foot (Necklace)]
Quality: Rare
Level Requirement: 3
Effect: Normal enemy equipment drop rate +1%.
The first four were all [Crude] quality white-tier equipment, providing no main attributes at all, only armor.
When Liu Xuan picked up that bracer earlier, he had been a bit disdainful of how stingy the stats were. But now, with four pieces of equipment in front of him, he realized that once this armor stacked up, it actually seemed pretty sweet.
It was just that rabbit-ear-like headpiece that left Liu Xuan at a loss for words: This thing really doesn't suit a macho man like me.
But after hesitating for two seconds, he silently put it on his head anyway.
It was just a pair of rabbit ears, after all.
Back when gaming companies on Blue Star first developed virtual reality games, they still operated using the old traditional MMO methods, selling all sorts of bizarre cosmetics in the game.
Liu Xuan could only say that he had worn far more perverted things.
The final piece of equipment, the Lucky Rabbit Foot, was a special-effect necklace of rare quality. It seemed the drop rate was incredibly low.
Out of at least a thousand rabbits in the entire village, only this single one had dropped.
It looked exactly like a furry, thumb-sized white rabbit foot, and its effect was to increase the equipment drop rate from normal monsters. Liu Xuan equipped it immediately.
"What a shame. If I had gotten this necklace before farming all those rabbits, I probably would have snagged at least a dozen more pieces of gear."
Bouncing Rabbit: Are you even human? I am the one who dropped this necklace!
