Chapter 020, Hard Difficulty!
Su Yu walked up to the treasure chest and opened it directly.
With a flash of dazzling light, the treasure chest disappeared, and several system notifications rang in Su Yu's ears.
You have obtained a Black Iron Staff (Black Iron grade) *1.
You have obtained Deerhide Pants (Black Iron Grade) *1.
You have received 3 silver coins.
You have obtained 3 Intermediate Health Restoration Potions (Iron Grade).
"It's alright, at least I got a usable piece of black iron-grade equipment." Su Yu shook his head helplessly.
Su Yu originally thought there would be at least one bronze-level equipment in the treasure chest.
To his surprise, the treasure chest contained only two pieces of black iron-grade equipment, one of which he couldn't even use.
However, Su Yu took it in stride. If it didn't come out, it didn't come out. In any case, at this stage, there wasn't much difference between Iron-level and Bronze-level equipment for him.
[Deerhide Pants (Iron Grade): +100 Health, +5 Physical Defense, +5 Magic Defense, +5 Constitution; Equipment Requirement: Level 5.]
Su Yu glanced at the attributes of the deerskin pants, and without hesitation, chose to wear them.
After changing into deerskin pants, Su Yu's health points increased by about 200.
Although 200 health points isn't much compared to his shield, it at least gives him a greater sense of security when he doesn't have a shield.
Immediately afterwards, Su Yu allocated all 5 free attribute points he had just gained from leveling up to level 6 to Agility.
After digesting the rewards he had gained, Su Yu glanced at his basic attributes.
[Attributes: Strength 352, Constitution 84, Agility 231, Spirit 172]
【生命值：2080；法力值：3440；物理攻击力：724；物理防御：104；魔法防御：187；攻击速度：2.59；移动速度：9.04】
Compared to before entering the dungeon, his basic attributes have been greatly improved.
In particular, his health points soared to over two thousand, far exceeding that of tank classes of the same level.
"Upgrade my skills, then head out and grind the hard difficulty level." A hint of anticipation flashed in Su Yu's eyes.
He currently has 385 skill points, which is enough to further enhance his strength.
Maybe when he plays on the hard difficulty later, it will be even easier than when he plays on the normal difficulty.
"Let's level up the basic archery to level 30 first," Su Yu quickly decided.
Basic archery is a common-level skill, and its level 30 trait can be unlocked with just 245 skill points.
Based on previous patterns, the characteristics of basic archery can increase strength and agility attributes, thus comprehensively enhancing Su Yu's strength.
[You have used 20 skill points to increase your basic archery level. Current level: 21!]
……
[You have used 29 skill points to increase your basic archery level. Current level: 30!]
[Level 30 Basic Archery (Common): Passive skill, Attack Speed +80%, Movement Speed +80%, Attack Range +75%.]
【lv30特性：力量+50、敏捷+50、力量+5%、敏捷+5%、攻击速度+30%、移动速度+30%。】
"Not bad, not bad. It has two more attributes than the level 20 basic archery skill." Su Yu nodded in satisfaction.
After upgrading his basic archery skills to level 30, Su Yu's physical attack power soared to 870 points, his attack speed soared to 3.08, and his movement speed soared to 10.69.
It is now much stronger than before the skill was upgraded.
"I have 140 skill points left. I might as well allocate them all to Powerful Arrow," Su Yu thought to himself.
Powerful arrows can increase his critical hit rate.
Following the previous pattern, Powerful Arrow, once upgraded to level 20, can increase the critical hit rate by 100%.
In addition, the level 20 trait of Powerful Arrow can greatly increase Strength attribute and critical hit damage.
With a 100% critical hit rate, as long as the monster's critical hit resistance is not high, almost every shot will be a critical hit, which will definitely improve Su Yu's output ability significantly.
[You have used 30 skill points to upgrade Powerful Arrow. Current level: 11!]
……
[You have used 39 skill points to upgrade Powerful Arrow. Current level: 14!]
[Level 14 Powerful Arrow (Bronze): Passive skill, increases own critical hit rate by 70%.]
After spending 138 skill points, Power Arrow successfully reached level 14.
With a 70% critical hit rate, as long as Su Yu's luck isn't too bad, triggering two critical hits out of three arrows shouldn't be a big problem.
After upgrading his skills, Su Yu did not hesitate and immediately chose to leave the dungeon.
Soon, Su Yu returned to the Gale Plains.
Without any hesitation, Su Yu directly chose to enter the Goblin Plains dungeon on the hard difficulty.
After a moment of dizziness, Su Yu returned to the familiar Goblin Plains instance.
The environment was the same as before, but the green-skinned monsters in the distance had changed quite a bit.
In normal difficulty, all the monsters you encounter at the beginning are goblin warriors.
Among that group of green-skinned monsters, besides the goblin warriors wielding spiked clubs, there were also goblin mages wielding staffs.
[Level 6 Goblin Warrior (Normal)]
[HP: 2700/2700]
Physical Attack Power: 200
Physical Defense: 110; Magic Defense: 65
[Skill: Heavy Strike]
……
[Level 6 Goblin Mage (Normal)]
[HP: 1800/1800]
[Magic Attack Power: 270]
Physical Defense: 65; Magic Defense: 110
[Skills: Fireball, Ice Arrow]
"As expected of the Hard difficulty, the monsters' stats are much stronger than in the Normal difficulty," Su Yu remarked with some emotion.
The level of monsters on the hard difficulty is 6. Normally, their attributes should be at most 50% higher than those of level 5 monsters.
The level 6 goblin warrior on hard difficulty is now at least twice as strong as the level 5 goblin warrior on normal difficulty.
Even compared to a level 5 elite goblin on normal difficulty, it is far superior in all attributes except for its significantly lower health.
"However, I am not the same person I was before. I have become much stronger." Su Yu's lips curled up slightly.
Lightning Bolt!
Su Yu stood in the safe zone, his black iron longbow drawn into a full moon.
Previously, when playing on normal difficulty, Su Yu had to leave the safe zone in order to attack the goblin squad in the distance.
However, with the surge in Su Yu's strength attribute and the upgrade of his basic archery skill to level 30, his attack range has far exceeded that of before.
call out!
-3996! (Critical Hit)
Zi la la!
-3996! (Critical Hit)
-3796! (Critical Hit)
-1798!
……
Arcs of electricity leaped wildly, and in no time, the goblin squad that originally had 12 monsters was reduced to only 3 monsters barely clinging to life.
Successfully defeated a level 6 Goblin Warrior (Normal). Gained 90 experience points, 100 copper coins, and 1 skill point.
Successfully defeated the level 6 Goblin Mage (Normal), gaining 90 experience points and 1 skill point.
……
call out!call out!call out!
Su Yu pressed his advantage, easily taking down the remaining 3 monsters with a series of basic attacks.
A total of 12 monsters died inexplicably from arrows without even seeing Su Yu's men.
