Chapter 13

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Zhang Shan took off his gaming helmet, heaved a sigh of relief, and lay quietly on his bed for a while.

The New World was indeed filled with endless opportunities. He had only just started, and he had already earned 10,000 although it involved a lot of luck.

Thinking of this, Zhang Shan picked up his phone. There were three friend requests. They were Wind-Blowing Wind Chimes, Thousand Miles Riding Alone, and Little Secretary of the Storm. He accepted all of the requests.

Little Secretary Feng Yun: “Brother Six Guan, the money has been transferred to you. Please acknowledge. Please also send the video as soon as possible. The forums are going crazy.”

“Got it. Thank you. I’ll send it to you right away.”

Zhang Shan quickly extracted the video of the boss being stuck from the gaming helmet and sent it over.

In the New World, the game video of the player would be kept for 15 days. This was a good setting. When there was a dispute, they could directly watch the video playback and send it to the forum. The liar would naturally be slapped in the face very quickly. It was beneficial for the game environment where the liars would have nowhere to run.

Beep beep.

The mobile phone rang once. Wind-Blowing Wind Chimes invited you to join the Storm of the World group chat.

Storm of the World: Welcome the new member of the guild.

Thousand Miles Riding Alone: Haha, Six Guan Bodhisattva has been added. Quickly change the remarks.

Six Guan Bodhisattva: Hi, I’m new. (Dog head emoji).

The Storm Killer: Warm welcome.

The Storm Slash: Welcome, welcome.

The Storm Cannon: Welcome, Newbie. What class are you playing?

Six Guan Bodhisattva: Hunter.

The Storm Cannon: Another one to fight with me for equipment. I’m also a Hunter. I’m not happy. (Crying emoji).

The Storm Clearance: Welcome, Newbie. Newbie, why did you choose this ID? Are you having Six Guan Gatling? No wonder you were able to kill the boss. (Dog head emoji).

Six Guan Bodhisattva: Oh yes, Thousand Miles Riding Alone, a title was given for the first kill just now. What’s the attribute? I forgot to take a look.

Thousand Miles Riding Alone: Brother, you’re so ambitious. How can you forget this? I took a screenshot. It’s a very useful title.

Thousand Miles Riding Alone sent the screenshot to the group chat.

Title: The Nemesis of the Demon Race. It is the pride of the human race and the nemesis of the demon race. Wearing this title increases the damage dealt with monsters by 10%.

The Storm Cannon: “F*ck, isn’t this amazing? It’s godly equipment for farming monsters. This should be the strongest title for farming monsters, right? Is there still a chance to get it? I also want to get one. (Drooling emoji).

Wind-Blowing Wind Chimes: Haha, it’s still in time. (Naughty emoji).

Six Guan Bodhisattva: Hehe, I’m going to eat now. (Dog head emoji).

Zhang Shan put down his phone and casually ate some snacks before entering the game again. It was just the beginning, so he couldn’t slack off.

The rocks were still there, and the boss was already dead. Only the little wild boar was wandering back and forth in the distance.

He put on the title of Nemesis of the Demon Race and shot at the demonized wild boar. When the monster got close to him, he ran to the side. After putting on his shoes, Zhang Shan’s movement speed was much faster than the little monster. He pulled the distance apart and hit it twice before running away. In this manner, flying kites back and forth, he finally defeated the monster.

It was really difficult not having any equipment. A monster that was at the same level as him could only be killed by kiting for about two minutes. If only he had a weapon that was like the ax that Thousand Miles Riding Alone had, he could kill the monsters with one round of kiting.

Zhang Shan somewhat didn’t feel like fighting anymore. It was too troublesome. However, seeing that one monster had 50 experience points and 45 copper coins, he ran to another wild boar.

He flew kites back and forth in this manner. When he had killed about 10 monsters, Thousand Miles Riding Alone also came online.

“They are not online yet?”

“No, I was the only one just now.”

“Let’s get started. My ax is already thirsty,” Thousand Miles Riding Alone shouted smugly carrying the orange ax on his shoulder.

Zhang Shan sent Thousand Miles Riding Alone an invitation to form a team. After the two of them teamed up, their efficiency increased exponentially.

Thousand Miles Riding Alone was equipped with an orange ax. His combat power had undergone a qualitative change. Not only did his attack power reach an astonishing 150 points, his HP, which had been increased by 20 points of strength due to his weapon, was now close to 500 points. On the other hand, Zhang Shan’s attack power was only slightly over 50 points. His HP was less than 200 points, and his defense was only a miserable 5 points. The two of them teamed up was just like a large player bringing along a small account.

“What level has your Falling Leaf Slash reached?” The novice skill was too weak.

“Level 3. I don’t intend to increase anymore. This novice skill is too weak. Skill points are precious, I can’t waste them. I hope I can get a useful skill book as soon as possible. Otherwise, I would be letting this Berserker class down,” Thousand Miles Riding Alone was complaining about his novice skill helplessly.

It was still fine if the Falling Leaf Slash was used during the novice stage. If it was used at full level 10, it could deal 100 damage, which was not bad. However, in the later stages, this bit of damage would not be enough.

The most important thing was that they did not have enough skill points. They were given one skill point for each level. They had only received one skill point for their first kill of the first boss in the New World. It was still unknown how they would obtain more skill points in the future. Even if they could obtain skill points for their first kill of the boss in the future, they would not be able to obtain many.

There were so many players in the New World and the competition was fierce. It was not easy to snatch the first kill of the boss. They would not be so lucky every time.

In any case, skill points were very precious. He was right to stop using Fallen Leaf Slash. No matter what class it was, the gap in skill points would definitely increase as time went on. After all, although skill books were not easy to get, one would eventually get some. However, skill points were different. The source was limited. If he did not keep some skill points now, it would be awkward if he got a good skill book in the future but did not have enough skill points.

Moreover, in the New World, there were no pre-set skill requirements to learn a new skill. At the very least, there were no requirements at the moment. Therefore, it was better not to learn and level up unpromising skills.

The two of them killed monsters while chatting. Although the defense of Thousand Miles Riding Alone could not completely withstand the damage of the monsters, it was not a big problem. He only lost around 20 HP for an instance. With his close to 500 HP, he could take a lot of damage. He only needed to rest and recover his HP after killing a few monsters in a row.

“Have you seen the forum? The video of you blocking the boss has been uploaded to the forum by the Little Secretary. Brother, you are famous now,” Thousand Miles Riding Alone said with a smile.

“Is that so? Let me take a look.”

Zhang Shan opened the New World Forum and soon found the video that the Little Secretary had uploaded. It was actually pushed to the top by the forum administrator.

Title: ‘Killing the powerful wild boar king is that simple. There’s a video revealing the truth.’ The fee was 10 copper coins per view. It was very cheap. Even players who had just entered the game could afford it. After all, the system gave 100 copper coins as a gift. Not long after, the number of views had already reached more than 100,000, and it was still growing rapidly. 100,000 views meant one million copper coins, 100 gold coins. It was a small profit.

Spending 10 copper coins, Zhang Shan looked at the post.

The content of the video was very short. From the moment Zhang Shan fired his first shot and the boss was stuck until he stood there and fought the boss, it was only 10 seconds or so in total. The scene was very thrilling and exciting. The boss almost hit him when it activated its skill.

Many comments were under the post. There were all kinds of envy, doubt, ridicule, and even complaints about the bugs.

“So this is how you can also play in the New World. I thought only trash games had bugs that could stop a boss. I give up.”

“Come on, you think anyone can simply stop a boss? My friend tried it before. Instant death. There must be some technique, and it’s extremely difficult.”

“Why is the boss’s name orange? Does the boss also have a color? Will it drop orange equipment? I really want it.”

“That’s not the main point. The main point is how to get stuck. The video isn’t complete, so there must be some hidden important information. Rubbish, the Storm Guild. They only know how to scam money. Return me 10 copper coins.”

“Complain, complain. The Storm Guild used the bugs to kill the boss. Take back the reward.”

“Is there a bug in your brain? The forum administrator has already put in extra effort to push it to the top. This means that the operators also think that the operations of the Storm Guild were normal. There’s no need to complain.”

“Then why is the boss stuck?”

“Who knows?”

“I’ll give it a try too. Although I won’t be able to get the first kill, it’s still good to drop some equipment.”

“Good luck, Upstairs.”

“Is there any big shot who can analyze why the Storm Guild was able to block the boss?”

“It should be a small probability event. It’s not easy to trigger. It’s just that I don’t know what the Hunter’s equipment and attributes are in the video. Otherwise, I can find a Hunter with the same equipment and attributes as him to try. There’s a possibility of success.”

“Is that so? Doesn’t that mean the members of the Storm Guild can keep blocking using the bug? It’s very unfair. I want to file a complaint.”

“It can’t be that simple. Otherwise, the members of the Storm Guild in other novice villages would have already blocked the boss. Have anyone of you seen it? We don’t have any here.”

“No, I want to go to the wild boar forest. I want to find the boss first and then hide at the side to observe to see if anyone is coming to fight.”

“Let’s go. The big shots must have already tried it. How could others not think of what we thought of? By the time we thought of it, the others would have already made their move. I’m going to farm my cute little rabbit. Village 8563, don’t fight with me for the rabbit.”

“Let’s go, let’s go and farm the wolves.”

“Upstairs is indeed an expert! You actually can farm level 4 monsters. It’s a pity that I’m still farming chicks. It’s not that I’m not working hard, but there are too many sluts. I’ve already been killed twice.”

“How tragic!”

“Latest news. Domineering Guild organized a 100-man team to kill the wild boar king in the 568 novice village. And the team has already been wiped out. The novice village instantly became lively, haha.”

“No way. Domineering is too weak, isn’t it? A 100-man team can’t even take down a novice village boss. Even if one person dealt a little damage, it would still deal 100 damage.”

“Just look at the boss’s attributes and you’ll know.”

Little Domineering Prince shared a picture.

Contents of the picture:

Demonized wild boar king: HP 20,000, attack power 516, skill 1: Enhanced Charge, skill 2: Heavy Strike.

Enhanced Charge: the enraged wild boar king will charge towards its target with insane speed, causing knockback and stun effects, and increasing damage by 1,000.

Heavy Strike (passive): every attack of the wild boar king has a chance to trigger the Heavy Strike effect, causing five times the damage.

“F*ck, is the boss that strong? Who can withstand it?”

“It’s extremely strong!. Is this a boss that can be killed by one from a novice village? Even if it reaches level 10, it wouldn’t be able to withstand it with all its equipment.”

“I just want to know, the wild boar king is only level 5. Is there any other boss in novice village, such as al level 10? If there is, how can we kill it? Even if all the players in the village attack together, it wouldn’t be enough to kill the boss.”

“We can still kill it. If we have more Witch Doctor’s poison skill, we can poison the boss to death.”

“Upstairs is thinking too much. The boss is not a wooden stake. It won’t stand still to let you poison it. Someone has to block it. At the very least, one has to be able to withstand a few attacks.”

While killing monsters, he looked at the players’ comments and analysis. All sorts of envy, jealousy, and hatred. Zhang Shan felt a little proud. No matter how they analyzed it, it would be futile in the end. Zhang Shan was more inclined to the view of Storm of the World. This was a small probability event, and basically could not be replicated. Even if there was really a bug, it had long been fixed by the operator.. The others could only look at the boss and sigh, haha!
