[You've killed a Migratory Flocoloso Bird. Player gained 200 Exp.]

[You've killed a Migratory Flocoloso Bird. Player gained 200 Exp.]

...

[Level up!]

...

Mathew and Talia were able to farm with ease. They had trouble killing birds at the start. But later on, they got the grasp of it until they were just like walking in the park. Still, Grasping how to kill one bird was not enough. Their numbers were too many. Luckily, they don't need to worry about it.

This was because of Faunia. The number of the Flocoloso birds attacking kept increasing, but to Faunia, it was nothing. Hence, Any bird that Mathew and Talia can't attack was 'swatted' by Faunia.

This resulted in Mathew and Talia leveling up quickly. Though their kill count was less than that of Pedro, they were still able to farm at a steady pace.

The difference between Pedro and Mathew was huge. Pedro was not the best swordsman you would see. His body built is of that of an average teen. He didn't have the stamina of an athlete. And, He obviously doesn't practice a proper sword technique in real life. However, With him was his past memories and experiences on Bearth Online.

He had the 'bugs', and 'techniques' that was able to make ordinary players compete with professionals. He does lack the physique and such. But It doesn't mean that he would just lay back and accept that fact. He needs to find a way to be able to stand with or even surpass others.

Mathew, on the other hand, was well fit. He regularly goes to the gym to maintain his strength. While on games, he typically doesn't have a problem with regards to physical strength. He can fully utilize the strength of his character, whether be it speed or stamina.

After several minutes of farming...

[System Notification!]

[You are the first player to reach level 10! Congratulations!]

[You have a reward after reaching level 10!]

[Reward:

Qaogal's Amulet x1]

[You have unlocked the top ten level ranking list. Would you like to enlist your name and gain glory?]

"Hmm? No." Pedro stopped killing Flocoloso birds after hearing the system. He read through it and got excited. He rejected, enlisting his name to the top ranking list. He wanted to keep low as much as possible.

"It was rumored that being the first player to reach a certain level will get rewards. I didn't think it was real. Might as well check what I got. There are far too many monsters for me to kill."

Pedro scanned the Amulet's information through his interface.

"Experience Multiplier?" Pedro was astounded as he took the amulet out of his inventory bag. It was a rusty silver plate that has a circular hole on top.

"This is probably a necklace. A string or chain must be inserted into the hole for me to be able to use it." He nodded after carefully inspecting the item.

"Not bad human. That piece of metal leaks a small amount of ancient magical energy." Faunia smiled while Mathew and Talia heard what she said and stared at the rusty piece of metal in Pedro's palm.

"Ancient magical energy?" Pedro, Mathew, and Talia wore a curious look.

"You know anything about this?" Pedro added. However, Faunia just shook her head in response.

'This type of energy was gone thousands of years ago. How would I know?' Faunia decided to communicate with Pedro mentally. The information they were to talk about was something she doesn't want to share except Pedro.

'I see.'

'In any case, Many humans, including those who had gone to my Island before, held such amulets occasionally. My master told me that those were treated as family treasures for the humans and was handed down for generations. And, there are a huge number of it in the human lands.'

'I'll keep it for now.'

'Though there is no information about ancient magical energy. But, we can always investigate and make a new one.' Faunia looked like a little girl who was interested in some kind of cartoons or story.

'Hahaha! If you insist.' This was the first time Faunia didn't hold back about learning something. Hence, Pedro decided to just support her as she was still 'a kid?'.

'She is curious about the ancient magical energy, so am I. If she learns one or two things about it then, I would know about it too. It's a win-win situation for me.'

"It's nothing." Pedro smiled at the confused duo. He sent the information of the amulet to them.

"Wow! Wow! Wow!" Talia jumped of excitement as her eyes shined like it had seen a treasure. Mathew shook his head whilst smiling.

'Expert Brother~ is a man full of secrets. He told us two 'secrets' earlier. Now, he unveils another one. How many more does he have? Why do these advantages look like cabbages for him?'

"Expert Brother is really amazing!" Talia praised.

"Haha! Here, I lend it to you. You are the slowest farmer among us. We are only passing through this area. We won't stay long, making our farming time-limited." Pedro tossed the amulet towards Talia.

He reached level 10 already, but it was not easy like how it was in the first four levels. After level five, Pedro needed to kill more than thirty of the birds to level up. This bottleneck that started at level five made Talia and Mathew's level up became slower compared to Pedro.

Mathew was level seven, while Talia was just about to reach level six.

"Then, I won't decline on your offer! Tha~Thank you Expert Brother!" Talia caught the amulet with her hand. Although the amulet was supposed to be a necklace, if it was held within one's hands, its effect still worked.

Pedro simply nodded in response. Mathew bowed slightly to Pedro as thanks. To him, Pedro was a good boss. Pedro's act to help Talia was an unselfish act. If it would have been another player, they would have kept the amulet to themselves.

"Heh! Brother Mathew, don't slack off! With this amulet, I would be even able to surpass your level!" Talia bragged as he waved the amulet towards Mathew.

"Show it with your actions, not with your mouth!" Mathew mocked as they returned to 'farming'.
