The enhancement of Strength increased Range, and currently, my Attack Range is yards, while Regular Players have a range of only 1 yard. This is undoubtedly a significant advantage in terms of Attack Range. Perception, that mysterious attribute point, was something I never paid attention to in my previous life. However, I learned from posts on the Forum that the stronger the High-Level Players are, the greater their Perception. On the battlefield, this translates to a higher survival rate. In my past life, every God-Level Player in the top ten of the War Rankings had a Perception several times higher than that of Regular Players. Once the Faction System and Faction Competition System are activated, this attribute point will definitely become a key factor in competition.
Perception determines how sensitive a player is to external information; simply put, it relates to Danger Prediction Ability and Danger Sense. On the battlefield, sharp Combat Intuition is crucial for victory or defeat. The renowned God-Level Players on the leaderboard were said to have awakened their War Gift—Combat Intuition.
Suppressing the chaotic thoughts in her mind, Yan Yan took one last look at the tightly shut Blacksmith Shop before hurriedly leaving.
Night quietly descended upon the novice village. Under the night sky, the once silent and desolate village was infused with a touch of humanity due to the players' chatter.
A night market appeared on the streets of the Safe Zone, consisting of various players setting up stalls and selling goods. The inn and Tavern in the village were bustling with activity as a wave of players finished their grinding sessions and settled down to enjoy the tranquility of the game—brewing a pot of wine, having a couple of dishes, gossiping, browsing the Forum, sharing insights, and discussing love. Except for a few unaffected NPCs, all others had fallen into a state of sleep.
Passing by the Village Chief's House and noticing that the lights had already been extinguished, Yan Yan lowered her gaze and tucked away the Heart Stone in her palm. She turned her steps toward the river outside the village.
Moving swiftly along a familiar route in darkness for over half an hour, she gradually began to hear the gentle Sound of Flowing Water. The riverside at night served as a drinking spot for wild beasts; she needed to be fully alert.
With her Perception fully activated, she slightly bent her legs and arched her body forward. Her left hand gripped the Black-Eyed Longbow tightly while her right hand secured her Quiver at her back. She listened intently to her surroundings while occasionally glancing at her map. As she approached the marked Coordinate closer and closer, her breathing became lighter; it was almost inaudible. Just as she held her breath and focused intently on getting closer—
“Rustle—”
A faint sound reached her ears!
Her tense body reacted instantly; she shifted her stance, raised her bow with her left hand, and swiftly drew an arrow with her right hand. In an instant, she completed the Aiming action with Arrow Tip directed toward where the sound originated. Her dark eyes reflected coldness under the moonlight.
“Rustle—”
The sound grew nearer—1 yard, 8 yards, 6 yards...
In that moment when her fingertips suddenly relaxed—“Whoosh—”
A frown crossed her brow as Longbow immediately tilted to the side, "Whoosh—"
The arrow, imbued with a fierce energy, grazed past the yellow fur and embedded itself into the ground.
As she approached, parting the grass, a shivering black shadow curled up came into view. Yan Yan was taken aback, quickly lowering her bow and cradling the fluffy little creature in her hands, thinking to herself: what a delightful surprise.
She examined the little ball of fluff, relieved to find it unharmed. She couldn't help but sigh; if she hadn't acted quickly, the mission at the Village Chief's House would have been for nothing.
Yellow Chick: Ming's beloved pet
Attributes: Pet cub
Negative Status: Fearful, Hungry
Stuffing the little fluffball into her backpack, she thanked the System for categorizing all Quest Items as inanimate objects; otherwise, she would have had to expend considerable effort finding a place for this little one.
After checking her surroundings again and confirming there was no movement, she cautiously stepped into the river. The icy water sent a shiver through her skin as she took a deep breath and plunged in.
Holding her breath, she dove underwater, quickly calculating the distance. The darkness enveloped her; she couldn't see her hand in front of her face and had to rely on the vague coordinates from her map and the familiar feel of the terrain to guide her.
Three minutes later, her fingertips still brushed against the soft mud. The air in her lungs was running low, and her Health Bar began to drop slowly. With a powerful kick of her legs, she broke through the surface with a splash, gasping for air. After pausing for a few seconds to catch her breath, she took another deep breath and plunged back under.
Splash—
"Splash—"
Four times in a row, nothing.
Furrowing her brows, she double-checked the Coordinate on the map. There was no mistake; why was there nothing? Had it been taken?
Impossible.
She quickly dismissed the thought.
This Coordinate was more concealed than the previous forest Bronze Chest, surrounded by level seven Quicksand Foxes. Even if players teamed up to grind levels, their numbers would be limited, and no player could have dived underwater to find the treasure chest. In her past life, it was only six months after the game Launch that a player, bored and wandering by the river outside the novice village, got kicked into the water by a Quicksand Fox and accidentally discovered it. Could it be that someone was already bored enough to go diving now?
The calm lake of her heart stirred with irritation. Taking a deep breath, she exhaled the foul air from her chest, kicked her legs, and swiftly dove back underwater.
Expanding her search area at the bottom, the familiar sensation of mud and sand under her fingertips only heightened her bad premonition. Just as her Health Bar began to drop slowly, her probing fingers seemed to brush against something—
Concentrating, she grabbed it!
The Metallic Texture in her hand brought a surge of joy to Yan Yan. She pulled hard on the heavy treasure chest, her legs kicking rapidly. "Splash—" She broke through the water's surface, and the gloom in her eyes vanished. The treasure chest's pull ring in her grasp seemed to dispel the icy chill of the night river, even tinting her pale Beauty with a hint of blush.
Gasping for breath as she crawled onto the shore, nearly half an hour of diving and searching had drained almost all her strength. Her soft body leaned against her Longbow, not daring to relax for even a moment. Nighttime was when beasts roamed freely, especially near this drinking spot. After catching her breath and stabilizing herself, she stowed the treasure chest in her backpack and dragged her somewhat exhausted body away from the riverbank.
Just as she left, a group of agile figures darted out from the bushes and approached the riverbank—about ten indistinct shadows, all level seven Quicksand Foxes.
As she neared the village, the water dripping from her body had yet to be refreshed by the System. To avoid drawing attention, she glanced at the nearest Revival Point on the map and hurriedly made her way there.
As expected, the cooled-down Rabbit Farming Revival Point was completely empty.
Upon arriving at the Safe Zone, Yan Yan's tense body suddenly relaxed, and a deep sense of fatigue washed over her. She leaned against the Revival Stone, sitting with her legs curled up. The cool night breeze intensified the chill on her drenched body. Ignoring the dampness obstructing her vision, she rested her head against the Revival Stone and lightly closed her eyes. The high-intensity archery training in the morning, the focused BSS grinding at noon, an entire afternoon spent repairing equipment, and the recent treasure chest had left her feeling overwhelmingly mentally exhausted. All she wanted was to fall into a deep sleep.
Exhaling a breath of stale air, the growling sound from her stomach reminded her that her hunger level had reached its limit.
Reining in all her emotions, when she opened her eyes again, they were calm, reflecting a composed demeanor without any flaws, as if the earlier chaos had merely been an illusion.
Treasure Chest: Silver
Status: Locked
Location: Starting Area Riverbed
She took out a delicate key and inserted it into the lock. "Click—" The treasure chest opened to reveal a Skill Book lying quietly inside.
Holding her breath, she retrieved the Skill Book. Her gaze fell upon the familiar three words: Explosive Arrow. A smile crept onto her lips; this meant she could proceed with her plans, and the heavy burden on her heart eased somewhat.
Skill Book: Explosive Arrow
Skill Description: Rare Skill; arrows carry an explosive effect that inflicts a debuff, causing the target to continuously lose health.

System: Congratulations Player Remains Silent has acquired the Rare Skill book “Explosive Arrow.” Would you like to learn it now?
“Yes.”
A slot in the Rare Skill section at the bottom of the skill bar lit up.
Tonight's main task was finally complete.
Shaking off the dust from his clothes, he stood up and gazed into the distance. The vast night sky hung overhead, captivating and enchanting.
After the System refreshed, the water stains on his body had completely vanished. With the gentle night breeze blowing, he quickly finished the bun in his hand, packed up his things, and hurried toward another all-night shop in the novice village.
The general store.
The Merchant, resting his chin on one hand, was dozing off at the counter.
“Creak—”
The sound of the wooden door opening startled him awake.
He looked warily toward the entrance, where a short and frail Girl stood ( Yan Yan: Expressionless Jpg, please don’t bring up my height again. The scoundrel shrank back: Don’t worry, you’ll grow taller.) Her pale face bore a pair of Black Eyes that were hauntingly deep, swirling with shadows.
"Customer, how can I help you?" The shopkeeper cleared his throat and greeted warmly.
"I need a set of Sulfur Flame Powder, a set of Concealment Powder, and a set of Oil Torch."
Raising an eyebrow in surprise, the Grocery Merchant quickly gathered the items and packaged them with a smile. He held up a finger and said, "Gold, thank you for your patronage."
After paying and collecting the items, Yan Yan sorted through some trash in her backpack before turning to leave.
Upon reaching the Safe Zone, she logged off.
Removing her helmet, she immediately checked the communicator on her wrist, but there was still silence from Strict Language. Suppressing her worries, she washed her face briefly, downed a tube of Nutritional Supplement, and set a temporary Alarm Clock before drifting into sleep.
A moment later.
Just as the Alarm Clock was about to ring, the person lying in bed opened her eyes, the fog in her gaze dissipating as the Alarm Clock chimed.
Rubbing her face, she got up and did a quick set of exercises. After drinking a glass of water, she quickly grabbed her Game Helmet and entered the game.
As soon as she logged in, she saw a message from the Information Broker.
"The money has been credited; please check."
