Chapter 36: The Players' First Serious Preparation [Please Collect]

Madman said, "Little sister, it's not that simple. Training hands still takes time, and the situation is far more complicated than you think. Everyone may have played well before, but it was on a computer. Who has participated in real-life combat? It's everyone's first time.

Moreover, we three suffered too much loss to save you, so our mood is hard to calm down, and we don't have the motivation to deal with this matter."

Fang Ling and the others were all smart people, and it was clear that Madman was trying to raise the price and get some benefits.

Young Master Zeng impatiently said, "Don't beat around the bush. Just say it, what do you want?"

Madman pointed at the players there and said, "I want half of the manpower!"

"Impossible!" Without even thinking, everyone refused directly. Although it was only six thousand people, equivalent to sixty thousand people from ten Newbie Villages, but these six thousand people were all fitness enthusiasts with exceptional attributes. Given time, catching up with the main force would be easy. Any one of them here was a top-notch elite!

Madman hadn't expected such a straightforward refusal and looked at everyone suspiciously.

At this moment, Wang Mingchen said, "The three of you, we've been together for more than half a year, and our bonds are deep. We already discussed that our four families would merge into one and reorganize a guild after we get out. Everyone here is like brothers and sisters, sharing joys and sorrows... besides, we have been paying them wages.

Don't talk about half, we won't give you a single person.

Also, don't overthink, you bragged about rescuing us long ago, and it was a flag you set. Would you want to knock it over yourself? That would be embarrassing and shameful for you, not us.

Several groups with less strength than you guys also entered the game this time. If you three fail and lose reputation, they can completely take your place."

Hearing this, the three fell silent; indeed, this was their concern.

Chen Chuanwen added, "I must remind you that you've already wasted a lot of time. In a game, nothing is more important than levels. High levels, good equipment, high reputation, and numerous boss hunts are the core for a player.

You are the first batch of Level 10 players, but definitely not the only Level 10 players.

You have already taken some benefits and are ahead of everyone.

But if you stay here for two weeks, then congratulations, even if you get out, you will just be ordinary players."

Oh dear...

Finally running to the top in the district, but now becoming the lowest, are you really willing?"

Chen Chuanwen's words hit right at the most concerning and vulnerable part of the three hearts.

Madman bitterly smiled, "You... as rumored, you seem loyal and honest, but in reality, you're very cunning. Congratulations, you convinced us."

Chen Chuanwen laughed heartily, "How am I cunning? I'm kindly reminding you."

After laughing, Chen Chuanwen turned his words, "Folks, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and get offline to gather people!"

The three sighed and eventually logged off.

Now, time was everything, no one could afford the delay.

At this moment, the All Heavens Huaxia District forum was bustling.

"I heard Yu Qing, Madman, and Evil King went to rescue people; did they manage to save anyone?"

"It's been so long, there should be news, right?"

"The three of them are Level 10 Reincarnation Players with system-awarded equipment. Especially Madman, who has Top Grade equipment. It's no joke, definitely the top dog in the Huaxia District.

Evil King is famously cunning, and Yu Qing is a Mage. In terms of front firepower and hidden strikes, they are solid.

Don't mention just Newbie Villages; they could move freely even in zones with monsters above Level 10.

I'm confused, why there's still no news after so long?"

"Could it be that they got addicted to chopping Rabbits?"

"Or maybe they're teaching the rookie players in Newbie Village 1 how to kill chickens and Rabbits? Hahaha..."

A round of laughter followed.

But then, a new post shocked everyone!

"I'm Yu Qing, we went to Newbie Village 1. Players there were right; those Rabbits are not Rabbits at all. They are muscular, faster than the Level 10 Evil King, and stronger than Madman, the Pure Power Warrior. We were all killed in seconds!"

Finally, Yu Qing attached a drawing by a Huaxia artist of the muscular, violent Rabbit, indicating this was why players in Newbie Village 1 couldn't get out.

Wow!

The entire Huaxia District was in an uproar.

"Impossible! How can Level 1 Rabbits be so strong?"

"This isn't logical!"

First came the doubt, then players shouted to go and check it out themselves.

However, soon, someone made a correct analysis.

First of all, the players in Newbie Village 1 were hardcore players. Their failure to break out was itself a problem.

Secondly, Yu Qing and other Level 10 Reincarnation Players were the top three players in the Huaxia District. If they were killed by Rabbits, it meant something.

Lastly, many players were already Level 10, capable of verifying these claims. Yu Qing and others had no reason to lie, which would bring them no benefit.

Soon, indeed, other players went to Newbie Village 1, but instead of seeing Rabbits, they were slapped to death by a Level 9 Black Bear.

Level 10 Reincarnated players with Level 10 equipment couldn't defeat a Level 9 Bear. This proved that the monsters in Newbie Village 1 were indeed different from those elsewhere.

Subsequently, someone drew a picture of the supposed bear. It was particularly strong, with minimal fat, lots of muscles, a larger physique, and a ferocious expression.

"It seems everything is true."

"Brothers, the goddesses are trapped in the Newbie Village. Can we just watch?"

"No way! Organize and crush those wild monsters. Let them know who the game's real masters are!"

"Roar!"

Both in-game and out-game, shouts echoed.

With the guilds of Madman, Evil King, and Yu Qing, plus other deputies assisting in the organization, a huge rescue team was quickly formed.

But this time, human players did not act rashly but began communicating with players in Newbie Village 1, trying to gather more information on the village to formulate targeted plans.

Level 10 players didn't have many profession options; primarily, it was warrior, mage, and thief.

It's said at Level 20, during the second reincarnation, more professions would appear, as someone saw knights, priests, shield warriors holding tower shields, etc., at the Reincarnation Hall.

Though the professions were not subdivided, the benefits were clear: high-health, defensive warriors could wear a full set of Defense Equipment, wield Giant Shields, and become Shield Warriors.

Thieves could use Longbows, Crossbow Arrows, Daggers, set traps, and such.

Not reincarnating meant they could do all sorts of tasks, with fewer equipment restrictions.

So, under Iron-Blood's command, players began planned reincarnations and combinations.

When manpower was insufficient, Iron-Blood organized players to hunt wild monsters around Vermilion Bird City. Most were veteran players, and their cooperation proficiency skyrocketed, with combat power multiplying geometrically!

Even monsters two or three levels higher became their targets.

With the training battle reports continuously being posted on the forum, the forum once again erupted with shouts!
