Right now, Shen is still looking at the battle unfolding in front of him and it has already passed three hours since the time that the battle started.

"Hmmm?" Shen looks around it feels like something seems amiss.

And as soon as Shen looks around, he found out that the war between the two colonies has

already ended.

The Rock Worm is being dragged by the Rock Termites while also dragging their dead workers, while the Killer Ants are only retreating with some of the wounded.

Both sides have suffered so much, about half of their total numbers have actually perished while the other quarter is either injured with limbs removed from their body or completely disabled.

Shen looks at the location of the fight and saw that there are still squirming ants and termites that has completely lost all of their limbs. They were left behind to die and will be picked up by then.

Shen: "The faith of the cripple is death as they become food for the colony."

"Hmm?" Just at this moment, Shen remembers something: "I have a quest, maybe I can..."

With that thinking, Shen looks at the surrounding and when he thinks that it's safe, he slowly moves out of his hiding.

"Tszzzzzt!!!"

"Kzzszsttt!!!"

Seeing Shen moving out of his hiding place, the surviving insects hisses at him, it's like a human shooing a dirty rat.

But unfortunately for them, Shen wants to experience this world.

"It's kind of awkward but please understand. If the human population has already gone and been extinct by you guys, then I guess it is just fair for me to avenge them." Shen then took out the chopsticks from his inventory and equips it.

And at this moment, Shen took his first ever move.

Shen plunges the chopstick on a killer ant's body that has lost all eight of it's crawling limbs.

-3 HP!

"KZZZZSSSTTT!!!" Although Shen couldn't understand Ant language, he had heard of it more than a hundred times earlier and knows that it's a scream of despair.

"Uhh... The armor is too tough." Shen tried to end it in a single pierce but awkwardly, only 1/8 of the Chopstick actually pierced the ant's shell.

And like instinct had told him, Shen attacked another time, this time, he directly aimed at the eyes.

-9 HP!

"KZZZSSTTT!!" Like a glass that shattered, the Ant's eyes actually is very sensitive and also one of its weakness.

-19 HP!

"KZZssttt!!" This time, Shen aimed at its belly.

"It looks hard but is actually extremely soft." Shen mutters as he then focused striking only at that spot.

-17 HP!

-14 HP!

-9 HP!

Shen saw the damage reports and slightly felt bewildered: "Hitting the same spot isn't that effective?"

Shen: "Maybe it's because there's already some damage dealt there and that it wouldn't harm it much the same as the first few strikes."

Shen then moves his aim a few inches from the first wound.

-17 HP!

4 EXP Gained!

Shen didn't notice it, but with his last strike, the ant actually died.

"EXP..." This word is a very basic necessity in every game. Shen felt delighted as he could also earn EXP here: "What about the loot?"

Shen immediately struck again, it still made the gooey sound but there is no more of the screeching noise from the ant. Shen took off a piece of its shell: "Inventory."

A window appears in front of Shen as he tries to place it in the inventory.

*Notice*

-An invalid way of looting.

Shen frowned and spoke: "It's not like there's a looting guide anywhere."

*Looting Instruction.*

-Basic steps;

1.) Dismembering - By holding on to the corpse of a defeated monster and saying the word 'Dismember', The monster will be sliced into pieces and will only leave behind the valuable items.

2.) Looting - By picking up the item, it can be placed in the inventory or be used by the player in any way he wants.

Hearing this, Shen frowns, but still, it's better than nothing.

Shen reaches out his hands towards the corpse as he spoke: "Dismember."

Shen awaits for the next moment, but it took at least five seconds until it took effect. The ant's body is being sliced in a not fast nor slow manner as it took at least twenty seconds to be finished.

*Dismembering has been completed*

-Loots;

-Ant Antenna 1x

-Ant Eye 1x

-Ant Shell x4

Shen smiles as he spoke: "Well if I didn't hit the eye, I`ll get two eyes, and if two antennas were still there, I'd get two antennas, then for the shell... due to it's size, I actually received four pieces?"

Shen slowly stood up as he looks at the ants: "I`ll spare the termites for now since they are the ones that saved me from death, but you guys are done for."

Shen then approaches the next one and the one after that.

"KZZZSSTTT!!"

-19 HP!

"KZZZSSTTT!!"

-17 HP!

-18 HP!

"KZZZSSTTT!!"

-19 HP!

4 EXP Gained!

Shen: "I need to kill them all as fast as I can."

As soon as Shen spoke, this time, he's using the two chopsticks.

4 EXP Gained!

4 EXP Gained!

4 EXP Ga...

4 EXP...

4 ...

*Daily Quest*

-Kill at least 20 monsters.

Quest Progress: (24/20)

Quest Reward: (Newbie Box)

Quest Failure: (One of the items you're wearing will permanently disappear)

Right now, Shen's fatigue is actually reaching the maximum and might also pass out anytime if he wouldn't have any rest soon.

"Wait!" Shen then remembers something: "Every game has it! I hope it also does!"

"Market! Shop! Store!" Shen howls all sorts of names he can remember, and yes, just as he wanted, a shop notification actually appeared.

There is actually all sort of things in it that he hasn't seen in any games he played.

*Shop(Basic)*

-Potions.

-Misc.

-Armors and Weapons.

-Mystery Boxes.

Shen didn't even think of anything else but immediately clicked the potion tab.

*Shop(Basic)*

-Potions:

Mana Potion Lv. 1

Recovers 25 MP in 3 seconds. (30 seconds CD)

Price: 1 Gold coin.

Price: 1 Gold coin.

Fatigue Recovering Potion Lv. 1

Recovers 15% Fatigue in 10 seconds (60 seconds Cooldown)

"That... Where... Gold Guide!" Shen immediately thought of how the looting guide appeared and also tries it.

*Gold Guide*

Three easiest ways to receive or get gold coins.

1.) Sell loots that you got from killing monsters.

2.) Sell precious items that you yourself craft or have stolen from other people.

3.) Transfer your real money to gold coins.

"Sell all the antenna and eyes that I got!" Shen howls but there's no response. He then did the next thing possible.

"Inventory." A window appears in front of him and there are currently three items there. Shen then clicks the antenna and above the picture and description, there's a money sign.

Shen then clicks the sell button and saw another window.

Killer Ant Antenna

Price: 1gold

Killer Ant Eye

Price: 1gold.

Currently, Shen has about more than 40 pieces each. Shen is in a rush but that didn't remove him from thinking before acting.

Shen sold 15 of each of the antennas and eyes and immediately purchases a Fatigue Recovering potion and drank it.

"Ueeek~ That's bitter." Shen mutters and follows: "Status."

"I only need one more and I`m there." Shen for the first time smiled satisfied.

"I`m going to survive, and I`ll protect those that are dear to me," Shen smirks as he moves towards his leveling kill.
