Login Before Others: Stone Age

Time Freeze! A Bug in the Game?

This...

The cold system notification was like the sound of nature at this moment.

He had unlocked the manufacturing skill after just crafting two tools!

This was an unexpected surprise!

Su Ming’s face was filled with surprise and joy. He waved the stone spear in his hand a few times.

Although it looked crude, it was very handy.

At this moment, he looked at the stone spear’s attributes.

[Stone spear]

[Rarity: White]

[Grade: Superior]

[Attribute: Attack power +5]

[Description: Superb crafting skills have the power to turn something rotten into something magical. Even simple materials can be crafted into excellent quality.]

The attributes were the same as the rattan armor bonus.

Su Ming was also rather satisfied.

He then looked at the [Manufacturing] skill that he had just unlocked.

[Manufacturing]

[Level: 1 (0/1000)]

[Effect: Production efficiency +20%, production success rate +20%, production quality +20%]

Level 1 [Manufacturing] had relatively ordinary attributes, but when it came to manufacturing items, it would at least give him some bonuses.

And whether it was the [Manufacturing] skill or other life skills.

After unlocking it, one could obtain proficiency through continuous manufacturing to raise the corresponding level.

Through proficiency, life skills can be upgraded to Level 5.

If he wanted to level it up further, he would need free skill points.

Right after he unlocked the [Manufacturing] skill, Su Ming had a bold guess.

Perhaps he could rely on the memories of his previous life and unlock a large number of life skills without relying on free skill points!

For example, gathering, sewing, refining medicine, and so on.

This way, he could save a lot of skill points to break through the Level 5 limit and reach a higher level.

This was because in the middle of the game, many people’s life skills were stuck at Level 5 and could not be upgraded.

However, some high-grade or special items could only be completed by a Master or even a Grandmaster who was at least Level 5 in the specific skill.

Therefore, in his previous life, some players who specialized in a certain life skill, such as master-level forging, master-level apothecary, and so on, were able to become a God.

He had earned a lot of money with just one skill.

Of course, Su Ming was just thinking about it.

At this stage, he had a more important goal.

After a moment, Su Ming, who was dressed in fine rattan armor and holding a stone spear in his hand, slowly entered the depths of the bushes like an experienced hunter.

After walking through the bushes for a long time, Su Ming gradually noticed that something was not right.

Silence!

Everything was too quiet!

It was so quiet that it was a little strange!

It did not have the vivacity of a primitive forest at all.

Su Ming also thought back to the moment he entered the game.

It was as if he had not seen or even heard the roars of the wild beasts.

Not even the noise of insects or the chirping of birds!

Even though everything was extremely strange, Su Ming did not dare to let his guard down.

His experience from his previous life told him that in this primitive era, any distraction or carelessness could cost him his life.

Suddenly, he felt his right foot stepping on a smooth cylinder.

At the same time, Su Ming’s sharp senses detected an extremely dangerous presence coming from the ground!

It was dangerous!

Su Ming’s heart trembled!

As he retreated, his gaze swept across the ground.

That was...

Su Ming’s pupils shrank and the hairs on his back stood up!

A giant python appeared in his sight. It was more than 20 meters long, and the color of its withered yellow scales blended in with the leaves and branches around it.

It was to the point that Su Ming had not noticed his existence at all just now.

At that moment, a pair of vertical pupils were staring coldly at Su Ming from the gigantic triangular head.

It’s finished!

Su Ming’s heart turned cold. He had already sentenced himself to death.

Without any sharp metal weapons, he could not even break the python’s scales, let alone kill it.

And even if he turned around and ran, Su Ming was certain that he would be devoured by the beast within three seconds.

Su Ming trembled on the spot, but a minute passed.

The python did not attack.

Two minutes...

Three minutes...

The other party was still lying on the ground, motionless.

What was going on?

Su Ming’s face was filled with question marks.

According to his past life’s experience, this kind of fierce beast would attack him the moment it saw him, with no exception.

But now, they had been in a stalemate for five minutes.

Could it be...that it was a dead snake?

Su Ming made a guess and started sizing up the other party’s condition.

After looking at it for a while, his eyes fell on the slender forked tongue that the Python had stuck out.

So it really was a dead snake!

When he saw the snake’s tongue hanging limply by his mouth without moving, Su Ming was finally certain.

He let out a long sigh of relief and slowly approached the other party.

Even if it was a dead snake, its entire body still had value.

Especially those scales, after they were made into scale armor, their defensive power would be greatly increased.

Su Ming surrounded it and looked at it, then lifted the stone spear he had just made and stabbed it into the creature’s body.

Buzzzzzz!

The hard and slippery scales directly deflected the stone spear away and it stabbed into the soil at the side.

Su Ming was at a loss for words.

Su Ming’s face was filled with shock and his pupils dilated.

It was not because the stone spear did not break the python’s defense.

Instead, after the attack, a few words appeared above the giant python’s head.

[HP decreased by 1]

He had seen these words countless times in his previous life and was extremely familiar with them.

The text prompt would only appear when a creature’s HP was reduced when it was dealt damage!

But now! 𝐟𝗿𝚎𝐞𝓌e𝒃𝑛𝒐ѵ𝒆𝑙.c𝚘𝓶

The other party did not move. Was he not dead?

Moreover, after his attack, the other party still did not move and did not respond to his attack.

Strange, it was too strange!

Su Ming did not dare to act rashly. If he attacked again and allowed the other party to recover, he would be in trouble.

After some observation, he realized that the other party seemed to be in a state of deep sleep.

However, it was more like it was being restrained by some kind of bug and was stuck in its current state!

Could it be?

A possibility appeared in Su Ming’s mind.

‘Could it be that I logged in early for some unknown reason, and the game has not been released yet? That’s why it’s stopped here!’

The more Su Ming thought about it, the more he felt that it was possible!

This was because from the moment he entered the game until now, he had not seen a single living being other than the one in front of him!

‘Since you can’t move!’

‘Hehe!’

‘Well, I’m sorry...’

Su Ming pulled out the stone spear from the ground and aimed it at one of the python’s eyes.

Puchi!

The stone spear easily pierced through and then ruthlessly slashed, instantly creating a bloody hole.

[Damaged dealt 1000HP!]

Immediately after, he pulled out the stone spear and aimed it at the other eye.

[Damaged dealt 1000HP!]

The giant python’s HP rapidly decreased.

Su Ming was even more fearless. He used the stone spear to thrust in and pull out repeatedly, stirring the python’s brain into a paste.

Finally, a notification that was pleasing to Su Ming’s ears appeared.

[You have killed a level 20 yellow-patterned python. You have received 2000 experience points!]

[Your level has been raised to Level 2!]

[Your level has been raised to Level 3!]

...

[Your level has been raised to Level 5!] 𝐟𝓇ℯ𝐞𝚠𝚎𝒃𝑛𝒐ѵe𝚕.co𝚖

A series of notifications rang out one after another, allowing him to level up to Level 5.
