Immediately, everyone seemed to think of something and looked at each other.
"Now that you mention it, it really could be Qin Feng..."
"Yeah! He was the only one nearby, that fits the description of a lone wolf."
"Damn! No wonder he didn't want to join us. He's actually that strong!"
Everyone muttered amongst themselves, many with a look of realization on their faces.
Lei Jue's eyes also showed a mixture of emotions.
Just then, a new announcement came from the Heavenly Dao.
【Announcement: One person in this beginner village has reached level 3, activating the Leaderboard Channel.】
【Reminder: Only the leaderboard for this village is currently open. Only the top 100 can access the Leaderboard.】
"Huh! The level leaderboard is open!"
"Only the top 100 can enter the Leaderboard!"
"Someone reached level 3, that's why the Leaderboard Channel is active."
"Could it be that Qin Feng reached level 3?"
"Let's go check!"
Immediately, Lei Jue and the others pulled out their Heavenly Dao screens and entered the Leaderboard channel...
Upon seeing the leaderboard, they were all stunned.
Qin Feng's ranking was different from what they expected!
This made them question everything again...
On the other hand, Qin Feng was walking towards the end of the Beginner Plain.
At this moment, he also received the announcement.
He was curious and with a thought, the Heavenly Dao screen popped up in front of him.
There was a new option at the bottom right of the screen: 【Leaderboard Channel】.
He activated it with a thought and saw a leaderboard.
【911 Beginner Village Level Leaderboard】
1st: Liu Xuan, Level 3.
2nd: Long Shan, Level 2.
3rd: Wu Yong, Level 2.
4th: Yu Wen, Level 2.
5th: Gu Ming, Level 2.
6th: Lei Jue, Level 2.
...
47th: Qin Feng, Level 1.
...
"I'm only 47th!"
Qin Feng muttered to himself and then switched to the Chat Channel.
The chat was already in full swing.
"Wow! Boss Liu Xuan has reached level 3, he's so damn awesome!"
"Yeah! I'm only at level 1 (13/100), still miles away from level 2. Boss Liu Xuan has reached level 3 already, he's so damn awesome!"
"There are already eight level 2 bosses, they're so strong!"
"Yeah! So envious of them!"
Seeing this, Qin Feng felt a bit anxious.
Four or five hours had passed, and eight people had reached level 2.
That Liu Xuan had even reached level 3.
He had to speed up his leveling.
Before, he had spent his time looking for corpses, not really killing monsters to level up.
Now, he had to go all out and hunt down the beasts.
Just then, the Heavenly Dao sent another message.
【Announcement: Now announcing the beginner level-up reward system.】
【The 1st person to reach level 10 will receive a Golden Treasure Chest.】
【The 2nd person to reach level 10 will receive a Silver Treasure Chest.】
【The 3rd person to reach level 10 will receive 3 Bronze Treasure Chests.】
【The 4th to 10th persons to reach level 10 will receive 2 Bronze Treasure Chests.】
【The 11th to 100th persons to reach level 10 will receive 1 Bronze Treasure Chest.】
【Treasure Chest: An item reward set by the Heavenly Dao. Open the Treasure Chest to obtain its contents.】
【Treasure Chests are classified as Black Iron, Bronze, Silver, Gold, Dark Gold, Purple Diamond, Epic, and Mythical. The higher the level, the more likely you are to get high-level items.】
【Reminder: Treasure Chests will be awarded immediately upon reaching level 10, no need to wait until the end of the assessment.】
As soon as this news was released, the entire chat channel exploded.
"Wow! The first 100 to reach level 10 get Treasure Chest rewards!"
"The first place gets a Golden Treasure Chest!"
"The reward is given immediately upon reaching level 10, no need to wait, this is so humane."
"Exciting! So exciting!"
"Level up! Level up! I want to level up!"
"I want to level up too! I want to try to be in the top 100!"
"Haha! I'm going to be in the top 10!"
At this moment, the chat channel was filled with cheers.
A level-up competition had begun.
Qin Feng's heart also pounded with excitement.
First place!
Golden Treasure Chest!
He was going to get it!
He immediately left the chat channel and sped towards the end of the Beginner Plain...
As he neared the edge of the plain, he encountered a beast.
It was a two-meter-tall giant wolf, similar in appearance to a prairie gray wolf, but a whole size larger. It had a long silver stripe running from the back of its head to its tail.
Under the True Sight, he saw the wolf's true nature.
【Beast】: Silverback Gray Wolf (Mutated)
【Level】: 1
【Combat Power Assessment】: 4-Star Limit
【Traits】: Brutal, Bloodthirsty, Cunning, Can Summon Allies.
【Skills】: None
【Drop Rate】: 1%
Seeing this data, Qin Feng couldn't help but gasp.
This was actually a level 1 mutated beast, with combat power reaching the 4-star limit. This was even stronger than a level 2 beast.
The combat power of a level 2 beast is only 4 stars.
Qin Feng's self-assessment of his overall combat power was between 4 stars and 4-star limit.
Comparing this, he may not be able to handle this giant wolf.
This wolf was a very tricky opponent.
However, its drop rate was 1%, ten times that of a normal level 1 beast.
Killing it might give him some good loot.
Besides, his self-assessment of his overall combat power was just speculation.
He needed to test it out.
Now was the time to test his strength.
With this thought, Qin Feng's fighting spirit erupted, he was ready to go all out...
