Nanshan Cemetery.
Yi Tianchen stood under a large tree, his sword propped up in both hands, his gaze intense. Not far ahead, Undead Swordsman·Muss was wildly swinging his heavy sword, hacking at a tree that could barely be embraced by a single person.
“Bang! Bang! Bang…”
The falling leaves danced through the air like countless green butterflies, fluttering down. In the tree above, Liu Yuhan wore a serious expression, her bow and arrows never pausing as she continuously unleashed skills interspersed with regular shots, attacking the formidable BOSS below—Undead Swordsman·Muss!
“Roar…”
The furious and terrifying roar echoed, but at this moment, it sounded much heavier. Nearly twenty minutes had passed since Undead Swordsman·Muss had directed his rage solely at the tree after transferring aggro to Liu Yuhan.
“Red Health!”
Not far away, Yi Tianchen stared intently as he saw Undead Swordsman·Muss surrounded by a red aura, finally allowing himself to relax slightly.
After several more minutes of relentless attacks, although Undead Swordsman·Muss was exceptionally enraged, he ultimately did not trigger any berserk or mutation effects. He fought steadily until the end of his life, finally succumbing to Liu Yuhan's Blazing Arrow, which dealt a second burst of damage and drained his last bit of Vitality.
“Ahhh…”
A piercing wail suddenly rang out, echoing throughout Nanshan Cemetery, sending chills down one's spine. Then came a dull thud as the once-mighty Undead Swordsman·Muss finally collapsed under his own weight, transforming into a pile of substantial numerical rewards.

“Swish! Swish…”
Two beams of Golden Light Falls, and Yi Tianchen leveled up to 14 while Liu Yuhan reached level 13.
“Well done!”
Yi Tianchen laughed heartily, but had already run over to the corpse of Undead Swordsman Muss. Liu Yuhan quickly leaped down from the tree and, as she approached, noticed a few shiny golden objects lying next to the ugly corpse of Undead Swordsman Muss.
"Gold coins?" Liu Yuhan paused slightly, her gaze filled with disbelief.
Yi Tianchen squatted down to pick them up, tossing them lightly in his hand as he laughed, "Haha... genuine gold coins! There are four in total, so we each get two!"
Liu Yuhan nodded with a smile; finding gold coins could be considered a preliminary step towards escaping poverty.
After dividing the gold coins, they were left with three pieces of equipment, especially that weapon, which Yi Tianchen and Liu Yuhan were certainly familiar with.
"Clang..."
With a forceful pull, Yi Tianchen's face lit up with joy. The sword was over one meter thirty in length, with a blade just over one meter long and about fifteen centimeters wide. It displayed a brilliant black color with an almost fluid texture; it clearly wasn’t an ordinary item.
Aside from the weapon, there was also a piece of clothing and a Wrist Guard. Judging by their appearance, they seemed to belong to heavy armor equipment, likely what Undead Swordsman Muss had worn before. This made Yi Tianchen visibly excited.
"Let's identify them!" Liu Yuhan said eagerly.
"Alright!"
As Yi Tianchen agreed, he laid out the three pieces of equipment in a row and said with a grin, " Liu Yuhan, it's time to witness a miracle! Don't blink!"
"Tch..."
Liu Yuhan shot him an annoyed glance. Just then, three beams of white light cascaded down as the identification process began. Moments later, the three pieces of equipment each emitted blue and dark blue glows.
"Two Fine Iron Weapons and one Dark Iron Equipment!" Liu Yuhan smiled as she watched Yi Tianchen effortlessly make the three pieces come alive. She felt a twinge of envy and reminded him, "Quickly check their attributes; that sword should be quite powerful, right?"
"Let's take a look!"
Yi Tianchen immediately picked up the sword. In fact, he was a hundred times more anxious than Liu Yuhan at this moment, after all, the Hell Swordsman's specialized weapon was the great sword.
Dark Blade: Dark Iron Equipment
Attack: 145-225

“Wow! Such high attack!” Liu Yuhan exclaimed, her mouth slightly agape, filled with envy. She then asked, “Tianchen, how far are you from reaching level 15?”
“I still need 32%. I should be able to level up after completing a quest!”
Yi Tianchen quickly glanced at the experience bar, his heart already soaring high above the clouds. With a cheerful grin, he tossed the Dark Blade into his backpack and revealed the attributes of the other two pieces of equipment---
Night Armor: Fine Iron Equipment

"Well... this time I'll let you have it!" Liu Yuhan said with a grin as she looked at Yi Tianchen. Although she didn't get a suitable piece of equipment, she felt no displeasure.
Yi Tianchen nodded and replied, "We'll make up for it next time!"
After putting the equipment into his bag, Yi Tianchen quickly found a pitch-black scroll beneath the corpse of the Undead Swordsman, Muss. It was the token for their mission.
"Let's go!"
Yi Tianchen called out to Liu Yuhan, and the two walked side by side, weaving through the crooked graves until they soon stood before Gravekeeper Daka.
"Oh! Two young adventurers, just moments ago, I distinctly felt that powerful evil force dissipate. It seems it must be thanks to your efforts!" Gravekeeper Daka exclaimed as he gazed at Yi Tianchen and Liu Yuhan, bursting into hearty laughter.
"Yes! Your senses do not deceive you; this is the token!" Yi Tianchen handed over the scroll, his eyes sparkling with anticipation for the generous rewards that were about to rain down upon him.
Gravekeeper Daka took the scroll and stroked his beard, saying, "Thank you for using your strength to eradicate the evil from Nanshan Cemetery. According to our initial agreement, here it is—this is the reward you deserve!"
System Notification: Congratulations!

System Notification: Congratulations! You have successfully leveled up to level 15 and earned 5 free attribute points!
"Do you have any equipment?"
Yi Tianchen was suddenly delighted, completely overlooking the joy of leveling up. He immediately opened his inventory and discovered a simple yet elegant black ring.
" Liu Yuhan, what equipment did you get?" Yi Tianchen asked, no longer paying attention to Gravekeeper Daka, who had already lost interest in them after the mission was completed and sat down leisurely.
"It's an Agility Ring!" Liu Yuhan smiled sweetly, pulling the ring from her inventory and placing it in Yi Tianchen's hand. "Can you identify it for me?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Yi Tianchen cast an Identification Technique. A deep blue glow immediately emerged, confirming that it was indeed Dark Iron Equipment.
Agility Ring: Dark Iron Equipment
Attack: 35
Agility: +5
Strength: +3
Bonus 1: Increases the user's Agility by an additional 3 points
Type: Ring
Level Requirement: 15
…
"With double plus 8 agility and 3 strength, it's perfect for you." Yi Tianchen picked up the Agility Ring, glanced at it, and smiled, "Do you want me to put it on for you?"
Liu Yuhan was taken aback, her fair face instantly flushed with a rosy hue. However, she extended her hand and softly said, "Sure!"
"Which finger should I put it on?" Yi Tianchen scratched his head. "Uh... the ring finger, right?"
Liu Yuhan smiled without saying a word and cooperatively extended her ring finger. She certainly understood what wearing a ring on that finger implied but had no objections. Instead, warmth flickered in her beautiful eyes as she heard Yi Tianchen exclaim in astonishment, "Uh... not enough level... I'm dizzy; I'm a bit too excited!"
Liu Yuhan found it both amusing and endearing.
After handing the ring to Liu Yuhan to keep, Yi Tianchen finally identified his Dark Ring. Like Liu Yuhan's Agility Ring, it was also a piece of Dark Iron Equipment with quite decent attributes---
Dark Ring: Dark Iron Equipment
Attack: 35
Strength: +5
Constitution: +3
Bonus 1: Increases user's physical Critical Hit rate by 2%
Type: Ring
Level Requirement: 15
...
Another level 15 piece of equipment! Yi Tianchen's trip to Nanshan Cemetery had been quite fruitful. Without hesitation, he equipped all the gear in succession. The Snake Shadow Sword in his hand was instantly replaced by a Jet Black Greatsword, its slightly shimmering metallic sheen concealing an aura of dominance.
"Quick, check the attributes!" Liu Yuhan said.
Over here, Yi Tianchen had already clicked into the character panel at the first opportunity. As the attributes were shared, a light screen flew up into the air, displaying a string of data---

...
"Uh..."
Even though he had mentally prepared himself in advance, upon seeing these specific attributes, Yi Tianchen couldn't help but be left dumbfounded, staring in shock as if he wanted to pound his chest and shout out loud.
"Pervert!"
Liu Yuhan stood dumbfounded at the side, unable to believe what she was witnessing. In the end, she could only offer a two-word evaluation, emphasized by a single word of exclamation.
" Liu Yuhan, girls should be reserved!" Yi Tianchen said seriously.
"..."
