Poor Xu Shijie

"Persistent as a ghost!"

Heading towards the boarman camp, Su Mu walked with a somber expression, aware of Xu Shijie and the others following behind him. He had initially planned to speed up and leave them behind, but upon seeing the surrounding monsters, a smirk appeared on his face. Judging by Xu Shijie's group's levels, they were likely not high. If they insisted on following him into the high-level monster area, even if he couldn't attack them directly, there was a way to eliminate them. Su Mu slowed down his pace.

"Be careful, the monsters here are of higher levels," Xu Shijie reminded his subordinates as they followed Su Mu.

The group followed Su Mu through the level 2 monster area and eventually crossed into the level 4 monster area.

"Xu Shao, is this guy heading to the level 5 monster area? Should we continue following him?"

"We are of lower levels, and level 5 monsters would spot us from twenty meters away."

"How did he approach the monsters without drawing their attention? Could it be that he's already level 5?"

Watching Su Mu seamlessly navigate the level 4 monster area and disappear from their sight, many people started discussing the situation.

Their conversation solidified Xu Shijie's determination: "If he has really reached level 5, then we must figure out how he leveled up!"

Having knowledge of the leveling methods for reaching level 5 at this stage would give Xu Shijie absolute power within the Da Heng Group.

"Keep up!" Xu Shijie ordered his followers.

"But Xu Shao, if we go further, the monsters will notice us. These are level 4 monsters, after all," a person hesitantly pointed out while looking at the nearby level 4 monsters, his face filled with anxiety.

"You have high agility. Go and lure that monster away while the rest of us continue," Xu Shijie raised an eyebrow and addressed one of his assassin-class subordinates.

"Xu Shao, this..." the person hesitated greatly.

"Don't waste time. If you die, I'll give you five million!" Xu Shijie waved his hand, displaying his merciless nature.

"Thank you, Xu Shao! Thank you, Xu Shao!" The person quickly accepted, considering five million a fair trade for a chance to resurrect. They approached the level 4 monster, and when they were about seventeen to eighteen meters away, the wild wolf charged at them. The person immediately turned and ran.

"Quick, let's go!" Xu Shijie shouted, taking advantage of the opportunity.

The others swiftly followed the path. After running for a while, they spotted Su Mu standing not far away.

"Is this guy waiting for us?"

"What does he mean by this?"

Several individuals observed the faint smile on Su Mu's face, confused by his actions. Xu Shijie furrowed his brow in response.

"Friend, we can't attack each other in the newbie village. I suggest you tell us the leveling method, and I can offer you ten billion!"

"10 billion is indeed a tempting offer!" Su Mu laughed.

Xu Shijie's eyes brightened, thinking that Su Mu was considering it. He hastily added, "Our Da Heng Group can definitely provide that much cash. As long as the method you share is effective, the money will be in your account within two hours!"

"Is that so?" Su Mu's expression turned mischievous.

"Don't worry, the reputation of our Da Heng Group is guaranteed worldwide!" Xu Shijie reassured, patting his chest.

"What a pity!"

The next moment, Su Mu's words stunned Xu Shijie.

"What a pity?" Xu Shijie couldn't grasp the situation.

But just then, he suddenly noticed a large group of monsters approaching behind Su Mu.

"Oh my god, what the hell?"

"There must be fifty or sixty wild wolves!"

"And they are all level 5 monsters. Is this guy trying to get himself killed?"

Others also saw the exaggerated number of wild wolves behind Su Mu and widened their eyes in shock, even freezing in place.

While everyone was astonished, Su Mu remained calm.

In just a moment, utilizing his agility points, which now numbered over two hundred, he successfully drew the aggro of most level 5 monsters in the area.

It was undoubtedly a crazy move, but he had an absolute advantage in terms of speed. Su Mu wasn't worried about the monsters catching up to him.

"What are you trying to do?" Xu Shijie realized something was wrong and questioned.

Su Mu responded with a cold smile.

Then, with a swift step, Su Mu charged into the crowd, and the large group of wild wolves followed closely behind.

"Run!"

Someone shouted, and the team instantly scattered and fled.

However, their speed couldn't match that of the level 5 wild wolves.

The wild wolves couldn't catch up to Su Mu, but once the others entered their aggro range, their targets shifted instantly.

-82

-90

-85

Damage numbers emerged one after another above the heads of the group, and many people turned into white light consecutively.

Xu Shijie had reached level 3, and his health was slightly higher than the others, but in the face of the horde of wild wolves, there was only a dead end.

"I won't let this go!" He uttered a harsh remark before turning into white light.

"These guys wasted quite a bit of my time," Su Mu remained calm, showing no concern.

Although Xu Shijie and the others had power and influence in the real world, they were insignificant in Su Mu's eyes within the game.

Su Mu accelerated his running speed and headed towards the boarman camp.

Soon, the wild wolves behind them lost their target and stood still in their original positions.

"The monsters haven't respawned?"

In the boarman camp, the elite boarman wielding an axe remained diligent in guarding the treasure chest.

"Let's begin!"

Approaching within a range of thirty meters, Su Mu started chanting the Fireball spell.

-2320!

Two seconds later, a massive damage number floated above the elite boarman's head.

"Roar!"

As an elite monster, it was clearly infuriated by Su Mu's actions. It raised its axe and charged towards Su Mu.

"Frost Arrow!"

-1740

But just as it was about to execute its charge skill, an ice arrow struck its body.

"Ugh!"

The elite boarman collapsed to the ground.

"Feels good!"

Two skills were all it took to deal with an elite monster, a much greater achievement than defeating Xu Shijie and his group.

Su Mu quickly walked towards the elite monster's corpse and picked up the glowing orb.

[Boarman's Axe (Grade B): Attack +20, Strength +5, Constitution +5, Required Level: 6]

[You obtained 1 gold coin]

[You obtained Boarman's Letter]

"Truly an elite. It even dropped a Grade B quality weapon!"

With the boarman's axe in his hand, Su Mu couldn't help but smile.

"The exciting moment is yet to come!"

Of course, this wasn't his only reward.

His gaze shifted towards the silver treasure chest.

...

In a building in Huaguo City...

"Crash!"

The sound of objects shattering echoed incessantly.

Xu Shijie threw everything he could pick up in the room onto the ground, expressing his anger.

"Ding! Ding! Ding!"

At that moment, his phone rang.

Seeing the caller's name displayed, his expression slightly changed. He quickly adjusted his breathing, suppressing his anger.

"Father." He answered the call with a respectful tone.

"I heard you got killed in the Newbie Village?" A voice full of authority came from the other end.

"Uh..." Xu Shijie was momentarily stunned, not expecting the news to spread so quickly. He hurriedly explained, "It was all an accident. I will retrieve the situation. You don't have to worry."

"Shut up!" A reprimanding voice came from the other end.

Xu Shijie dared not speak.

"Remember this, you and your brothers, whoever achieves the greatest success in God's Path, will be my successor!"

"Father, please listen to my explanation."

Xu Shijie wanted to say more, but he heard a busy tone from the other end.

"Beep! Beep! Beep!"

"Damn it!"

Xu Shijie slammed his phone heavily on the ground, his face contorted in extreme ugliness!
