Night Eleven twenty, Southern Wilderness City!
In the vast central square, where the north-south and east-west main roads intersect, lies the largest open-air market area in Southern Wilderness City. Twelve massive marble lamp posts tower into the sky, their splendid magical lights bursting forth in dazzling neon, illuminating Southern Wilderness City as if it were daytime.
After returning from Black Forest, Yi Tianchen quickly found a secluded corner and took out four pieces of equipment from his package, laying them out in a row on the ground. He then began to mutter an incantation he had somehow learned, and four beams of identifying white light cascaded down.

"Three pieces of Fine Iron Weapon, and one piece of Dark Iron Equipment! The ring is actually Dark Iron Equipment!” As he gazed at the gleaming items after identification, Yi Tianchen's eyes lit up at the sight of the ring.
He picked each item up one by one, and their specific attributes immediately floated into view---

All of them are level 10 equipment, perfectly suitable. Yi Tianchen replaced his corresponding Whiteboard Gear, and his entire outfit suddenly shimmered with a dazzling light, looking quite impressive.
However, as the saying goes, discretion is the better part of valor!
It was easy to imagine that if he walked out like this, he might attract a group of envious onlookers. And triggering a bloody battle against himself was certainly not what Yi Tianchen wanted to see.
After concealing the glowing effects of his gear, Yi Tianchen began to feel excited about his current attributes. With the enhancement from four powerful pieces of equipment, along with his hidden job as a Hell Swordsman, all his growth stats had seen a significant boost. It would be disingenuous to say he wasn't looking forward to it.
Upon this thought, Yi Tianchen had already activated his mind, and his personal attribute panel floated out, revealing a series of astonishing attributes---
ID: Falling Leaves

Defense: 153
Health Points: 931/931
Magic Points: 420/420

……
"Well! Now that's what a true expert looks like!" Yi Tianchen exclaimed sincerely.
If anyone else had heard this, they would surely want to buy a block of tofu to throw themselves against. Such a domineering attribute, and this is what it means to "look like an expert"? What about the countless ordinary players?
Feeling satisfied, he closed the attributes panel and immediately headed to the apothecary after emerging from the dimly lit corner. Aside from various potions available at level three, the apothecary in town had already stocked all potions from levels four to ten.

Standing in front of the pharmacy counter in Southern Wilderness City, Yi Tianchen browsed through the prices of various potions, and a single thought emerged in his mind—expensive! Not just expensive, but exorbitantly so! (For reference, Zero Era currency exchange rate: 1 Gold Coin = 100 Silver Coins = 10000 Copper Coins = 1 RMB)
Even though Yi Tianchen considered himself quite wealthy, he found himself unable to afford even the Fourth-Level potions. Reluctantly, he purchased 20 bottles of the Third-Level Life Potion, which instantly restores 500 Vitality, and 20 bottles of the Second-Level Magic Potion, which instantly restores 150 Magic Points, leaving him nearly broke.
After leaving the pharmacy, Yi Tianchen opened the current Level leaderboard for the first time. He still firmly held the top position. A legendary difficulty trial mission had clearly given him a significant lead, as he was still nearly a full level ahead of the second-place player.
In Zero Era, the leveling system was designed such that starting from level 10, the difficulty increased exponentially. After class advancement, players gained various powerful skills, but their leveling speed did not see much improvement.
The current rankings on the Level leaderboard spoke volumes---
First Place: Falling Leaves (Southern Wilderness City), Lv-13, Novice Hell Swordsman!
Second Place: Rebellious Blood Blade (Xiliang City), Lv-12, Junior Knight!
Third place: Divine Silence Dust Fate (Eastern Departure City), Level 12, Novice Knight!
Fourth place: Ancient City Fallen Leaves (Southern Wilderness City), Level 11, Novice Swordsman!
Fifth place: Li Zhan (Sky Feather City), Level 11, Novice Assassin!
Sixth place: Owl Dragon World (Southern Wilderness City), Level 11, Novice Swordsman!
Seventh place: Running Snail (Sky Feather City), Level 11, Novice Berserker!
Eighth place: Fallen Grudge (Southern Wilderness City), Level 11, Novice Assassin!
Ninth place: Return of the Rainy Night (Xiliang City), Level 11, Novice Assassin!
Tenth place: The Terminator of Regrets (Southern Wilderness City), Level 11, Novice Assassin!
...
"Quite a few familiar faces!" Yi Tianchen smiled calmly.
The second-place Rebellious Blood Blade and the third-place Divine Silence Dust Fate are well-known figures currently ranked first and second on the Dreamland Battle Network's celebrity list. One is the founder of the War God Hall Guild, and the other is the founder of the Divine Silence Guild. Both guilds are nationally renowned large guilds with over two hundred thousand registered members.
From fourth place to twenty-seventh place, all are at level 11, with experience differences measured in tens or hundreds, highlighting the fierce competition during this period. As for magic professions, no one has made it onto the list yet; the lack of skills before class change has certainly been a setback for many magic profession players.
Turning off the leaderboard, Yi Tianchen began to walk towards Southern Wilderness City, heading for the East City Gate, preparing to explore Wolfman Valley. Just then, a notification sounded in his ear, and a friend verification message appeared.
He paused to take a look, a hint of a smile spreading across his face.
