12- Not so Close to Reality

"So how was the zombie?" Mark asked as he picked up the iron ingot on the ground.

"Zombies are too tanky" Chris sighed, he was very tired from fighting the zombie.

"Hmm, lets go out for now and rest there" Mark said.

"Okay!" Chris replied and they got out of the cave.

Mark then found a nearby tree that could shelter them from the burning sun and sat under it.

Mark first checked his status.

[Name: Nevermore]

[Level: 2]

[Experience: 13/50]

[Health: 20/20]

[Hunger: 15/15]

[Thirst: 15/15]

[Skill: None]

[Title: Tree Warrior]

"Oh, I leveled up" Mark said.

"I leveled up too" Chris also said.

"So where are you going to put you stat point?" Mark asked.

"I'm going to put mine on agility, I feel slow" Chris said.

"I'm also going to put mine in AGI" Mark also said, he then added the stat point he received from leveling up to AGI.

He then felt a warm current spread out to his body, then the feeling of it getting light, Mark could not help but get addicted from that feeling.

The feeling of becoming strong, that is something you wont be able to feel in real life, Mark then checked his skill tree, and saw he received 1 skill point, he could now learn a skill from the following.

[Hunting Lv. 1: Damage increases by 1 percent]

[Mining Lv. 1: Chance of finding ores increased by 1%]

[Agriculture Lv. 1: Crops growing speed is increased by 1%]

[Fighter Lv. 1: Loots from killing monsters increase by 1%]

[Craftsman Lv. 1: Crafting will give experience]

[Chef Lv. 1: Can cook more exotic dishes and get a low percent chance of acquiring a recipe when killing a monster or animal]

There are many more skills in the skill tree but there were just too many for Mark to read them all, he decided to add his skill point to fighter.

Monsters loot or item drop is also a very important resource.

"I put my skill point to fighter how about you?" Mark asked.

"I put mine in chef" Chris replied.

"Well, you do love cooking, just dont poison me okay" Mark said.

"Shut up!" Chris yelled at him.

Mark chuckled and then decided to do other things.

Mark then checked his inventory, 4 iron ingots, he sighed, Iron ingots were not that rare, and was easy to find as long as they were willing to waste time.

Mining iron also gave an achievement point for the both of them, though it was only one time, it was still an achievement point.

Mark even played the game that Alter Online was referenced to and played it for a few days, he quite loved the game.

It was easy, also friendly to its users, he was sure he spent 2 days mining under the cave to only find 4 pieces of diamond and 5 stacks of iron and coal.

Thankfully, the other resources were easy to get, anyway, that game was still very different from Alter Online, it only has the same core gameplay.

Which is the.game being a sandbox game, and its items turning into cubes.

After resting for a few more minutes, Mark and Chris continued moving, if they couldn't find a plain biome then they could only return without being able to find what they came for.

Well, literally 5 minutes later, Mark and Chris could see a grassy plains infront of them.

"Ah! we finally found it!" Mark cheered.

[Chat Box]

[So that is the Plain Biome, its much better than the snow biome]

[It has more animals than the Snow Biome]

[But it seemed like it has too few other resources?]

[Yeah, I cant see much trees]

[I guess, Biomes had their advantages and disadvantages]

[Learning Am I]

Mark noticed the chat and also had the same thought as them, but they were mistaken with a few things, the advantage was much more in the Plain Biome than in the snow biome.

It was vast and had an bigger open space unlike in the snow biome where it was littered with snow and mountains.

As for the disadvantages, the lack of trees could be easily overcome by planting tree saplings, any tree will work because he found an information that tree saplings could be planted anywhere.

Now that Mark and Chris had spruce tree sapling, it will be easier to collect resources, also in the plains, Mark could plant vegetables, even wheat is easier and animals spawns here.

The only problem is that, in this vast space, monsters will also spawn with greater number.

"So do we relocate our base here? it seemed better" Chris asked.

"You are the boss, why are you asking me?" Mark said.

"Dont you have brains? just like you always say?" Chris asked.

"Well, the plain biome is certainly good for us since you also want to build a guild right?" Mark asked.

"Yeah, then its decided, lets relocate our base here, I will go back and take back the items we left at the old base, you go make a temporary shelter and wait for my return, also check the surroundings if there are any other players, we may have a war of territory with them" Chris instructed.

"Roger" Mark said with a smile and took off.

Chris watched him go and sighed, then turned around and went back to their old base, he gave this task to Mark since he is much better with fighting than him.

Mark ran towards the plain and arrived a few minutes later, he could see many kinds of animals, well, mostly cows, pigs and sheep, and also chickens.

"Lets see, I will hunt the sheep first, we need the wool to craft the bed, then next is to hunt the pigs, they have more meat than any other animals" Mark said then took out his sword.

[Sheep Lv. 1]

[Health: 20/20]

He charged towards the sheep which didnt give a f*ck about him even when he got close.

Mark then swung his sword and struck its neck.

[You have dealt a critical damage to a sheep, -20]

"It died in a single hit" Mark said in surprise, he then saw the sheep turned into puff of smoke and dropped 3 items, 2 wools and 1 raw mutton.

"Ooh, good drop" Mark said with a smile, then turned his attention to the other sheep, he dashed towards them with shining eyes and killed them all in a single hit.

After he got 6 pieces of wool, he stopped hunting sheep and went for the pigs.

He dashed towards one of the pigs and just kike what he did to the sheep, he struck it on the neck and instantly killing the pig.

Thankfully, the sound of the animals neck cracking when they were struck by Mark didnt appear or else, it doesnt sound pleasing at all.

After Mark killed the pig, it turned into puff of smoke and dropped 2 raw pork chops.

"Its said it was close to reality, but why do animals also turn into small chunks? ah, so many meat are wasted" Mark sighed.

He then continued his hunt.
