3: Chapter 3 Is Lady Luck smiling? No, she's throwing herself into my arms!
An unprecedented sense of coolness instantly exploded, as if his brain was soaked in minty spring water; even the world on his retina became much clearer.
At this time, his intelligence was as high as 45 points. With these stats, people would believe he was a Level 10 promoted Mage! And one with a full intelligence build at that.
"Keep going, don't stop."
Jiang Feng looked at the dense flock of chickens in the distance, the corners of his mouth curling up. Those weren't monsters; they were clearly rows of walking "stat points."
...
The following time became a complete one-sided harvest by Jiang Feng.
Relying on the mana regeneration speed brought by his high intelligence (45 points/minute), Jiang Feng directly transformed into a human self-propelled turret.
One Red-Crested Chicken after another turned into white light under his Fireballs, unable to even get close.
[Plunder Successful! Obtained Free Stat Points: 10 points!]
[Plunder Successful! Obtained Free Stat Points: 10 points!]
...
He killed a total of 7 Red-Crested Chickens.
70 Plundered stat points obtained! Plus his experience bar was filled once again.
[Congratulations! Your level has increased to Lv3! Obtained Free Stat Points: 5 points.]
"A total of 75 unallocated stat points."
Jiang Feng stood on a haystack in the breeding farm, looking at the massive amount of points on his panel, falling into a brief "happy dilemma."
Although he pursued extreme damage output, he wasn't a reckless fool. The elite monsters and BOSSes later would definitely have mechanics; if he were caught off guard and hit once, with a Mage's fragile body, it would be a joke if he died instantly.
"Think big, I still need some room for error."
Jiang Feng calmly allocated the points.
First, he took out 20 points and dumped them into [Physique].
[Allocation Complete!]
[Physique: 10 -> 30]
[Defense: 28 -> 68]
[Health Points: 100 -> 300]
[HP Recovery Speed: 10 points/min -> 30 points/min]
...
In the next second, his health bar surged instantly, and that sense of insecurity from being "thin-skinned and fragile" immediately faded.
Next, Jiang Feng looked at that metaphysical attribute—[luck].
Under normal circumstances, luck had a meager influence on critical hit rates and drop rates. Ordinary people couldn't bear to waste precious stat points on this "invisible and intangible" attribute, but for Jiang Feng?
"Even if it's metaphysics, I can turn it into science with sheer quantity!"
"Add 15 points to luck, let's see if I can turn this bike into a motorcycle."
[Allocation Complete!]
[luck: 10 -> 25]
...
For the remaining 40 points, still adhering to the aesthetics of violence, he went all-in on [intelligence]!
[Allocation Complete!]
[intelligence: 45 -> 85]
[Magic Attack Power: 153 -> 273]
[Mana Points: 450 -> 850]
[MP Recovery Speed: 45 points/min -> 85 points/min]
...
As the allocation was completed, Jiang Feng pulled up his currently luxurious panel:
[Character Panel]
ID: Qingfeng (Hidden)
Class: Mage
Level: Lv3
Health Points: 300/300
Mana Points: 850/850
Attributes: Physique 30, intelligence 85, Strength 10, Agility 10, luck 25
Magic Damage: 273
Defense: 68
HP Recovery: 30 points/minute
MP Recovery: 85 points/minute
...
"These stats are pretty sick."
Jiang Feng couldn't help but marvel.
Right now, his health was equivalent to a Level 5 Warrior, specifically a "Physique Warrior" with a full Physique build. His damage was even higher than a Level 15 Mage.
If that S-class school beauty Shen Qingni saw this, she'd probably eat her staff on the spot.
Just then, the last wandering Red-Crested Chicken spotted Jiang Feng and charged over with a "cluck-cluck," possessing a tragic sense of a moth flying into a flame.
"Sending you on your way."
A casual basic attack Fireball.
-325!
The Red-Crested Chicken instantly evaporated, passing away peacefully.
[bite! Killed Lv1 Mutated Red-Crested Chicken...]
[bite! Triggered talent "Pangu Plunder," obtained Free Stat Points: 10 points!]
In the place where the corpse dissipated, besides a few copper coins, there actually lay an ancient book emitting a faint intertwined glow of blue and red light.
The light wasn't blinding, but it made Jiang Feng's heart skip a beat.
"This blue and red light? Could it be... a rare drop with the word 'True' in it?!"
He walked over quickly, picked up the book, and the moment he saw the attributes, his breathing stopped for half a second.
[True Bursting Flame]

...
"Holy crap!"
Even Jiang Feng, who had lived two lives, couldn't help but curse at this moment.
A "True" skill book!
On the black market, a skill book with the word "True," even the lowest level one, could be sold for a sky-high price of a million! Because it represented absolute martial power in reality!
And it was the most precious kind—a Mage AoE skill!
"I just added 15 points to luck and got a drop? This isn't Lady luck smiling; she's practically throwing herself at me!"
Jiang Feng didn't hesitate; he clapped his hands together, and the book turned into a stream of light that entered his brow.
[Congratulations! Learned Skill: Bursting Flame (Lv1)]
Just then, the ground suddenly began to vibrate violently.
Two huge chicken coops deep in the breeding farm collapsed with a bang, dust rising everywhere. Two massive dark shadows rushed out with a foul wind.
They were two giant roosters about the size of adult bulls, their feathers cast like black iron, their eyes glowing with bloodthirsty red light.
[Monster Panel]
Name: Iron-Feathered Fighting Chicken (Elite)
Level: Lv3
Health Points: 800/800
Attack: 65
Defense: 30
Skill: Iron Feather Shot
...
"Delivering yourselves to the door just to test my blade?"
Looking at these two aggressive elite monsters, Jiang Feng didn't retreat; instead, he licked his lips excitedly.
If it were the previous single-target Fireball, facing two elite monsters with 800 health, he might have had to kite them a bit.
But now?
"Completely unnecessary."
Jiang Feng raised his staff, his eyes as calm as if he were looking at dead objects.
After a 1.5-second chant, powerful fire energy gathered within the staff.
"Bursting Flame, go!"
Jiang Feng pointed his staff at the empty ground between the two elite monsters.
Rumble—
BOOM!!!
A huge fire cloud five meters in diameter exploded out of thin air, the flames devouring everything like a raging dragon. The heat waves rolled, even turning the surrounding wooden fences into ashes instantly.
The two majestic Iron-Feathered Fighting Chickens were instantly swallowed by the sea of fire while still mid-charge.
-461!
-462!
Terrifying red numbers rose from the sea of fire, the visual effect was maxed out!
The eyes of the two elite chickens went straight from the shock of the ultra-high damage, turning cross-eyed as their massive bodies stiffened.
In the Demon Realm World, when damage exceeds 30%, 50%, or 60% of the opponent's health, different degrees of body stiffness occur—slight, significant, or even major stiffness.
"Cluck-cluck-cluck!!"
The two elite monsters let out shrill screams, their originally glossy iron feathers instantly becoming charred and curled, and their health bars evaporated by more than half like flowing water!
The two people... oh no, the two chickens were clearly terrified by the super high magic damage of this human powerhouse.
However...
Without waiting a single moment, Jiang Feng gave the two elites no chance at all, unhesitatingly releasing the final fatal blow of the Grim Reaper!
"Not dead? Then one more hit."
"Bursting Flame!"
Jiang Feng tapped his staff again, and the red explosion devoured everything; the two elites were once again swallowed by the sea of fire.
The two once-arrogant elite chickens didn't even get to release a skill before being insta-killed by the explosion less than three meters away.
They fell to the ground wailing, turning into a large field of experience light points.
[bite! Killed Lv3 Elite · Iron-Feathered Fighting Chicken, talent triggered! Forced Plunder of stat points!]
[Plunder Successful! Obtained Free Stat Points: 30 points!]
[Plunder Successful! Obtained Free Stat Points: 30 points!]
...
The notification sound in his mind was like music to his ears.
One elite monster gave 30 points! Two meant 60 points!
Plus the generous experience points...
[Congratulations! Your level has increased to Lv4! Obtained Free Stat Points: 5 points.]
...
With flaming snowflakes floating in the sky, Jiang Feng stood in the still-burning embers, looking at the 65 new free stat points on his panel, smiling like a big villain about to destroy the world.
This speed of becoming stronger was simply addictive enough to make one's scalp tingle.
"This is just the beginning."
Jiang Feng took a deep breath and focused, his gaze firm.
"All into intelligence!"
Including the 10 unallocated free stat points from insta-killing that ordinary monster chicken just now, a total of 75 points were once again all poured into [intelligence].
[Allocation Complete!]
[intelligence: 85 -> 160]
[Magic Attack Power: 273 -> 498]
[Mana Points: 850 -> 1600]
[MP Recovery Speed: 85 points/min -> 160 points/min]
...
The panel refreshed again, and the intelligence attribute column impressively became—160 points!
What did this mean?
It meant that Jiang Feng's current magic attack power had broken the 498-point mark! A human nuclear bomb was beginning to take shape!
Just then.
"Thump!!"
"Thump!!!"
The earth began to throb violently, as if some gargantuan creature was waking up.
The small mound in the center of the breeding farm suddenly burst open, lava splashing everywhere. A crimson giant beast, the size of a heavy truck, slowly rose while bathed in lava.
It was burning with raging flames all over, breathing out black smoke with every breath. Its huge comb was like a burning crown, exuding an overwhelming pressure.
[BOSS Panel]
Name: Bursting Turkey King (Lord-tier)
Level: Lv5
Health Points: 3200/3200
Attack: 225 (Mixed Physical/Fire Damage)
Defense: 82 (Feather Damage Reduction)
Skills: Blazing Peck (Strong Single-target), Oily Feather Cloak (Damage Reduction), Cluck of Fury (Sonic), Roast Chicken's Revenge (Self-destruct)
...
Jiang Feng looked up at this gargantuan creature; the broken wooden staff in his hand looked a bit shabby under the BOSS's firelight.
But the light in his eyes was even hotter than the flames on the BOSS's body.
"A big hunk of meat with 3200 health..."
"I wonder how many stat points you'll drop for me when I kill you?"
