"I'm not going to join them. In fact, I think a domineering guild like theirs won't let someone who took the newbie village boss off easy, either.
As long as I want to improve myself, we're bound to be enemies. We might as well find a way to take them out now."
Shen Chi calmed his nerves, keeping his voice as steady as possible, but the murderous intent in his tone was impossible to hide.
"How many people do they have right now?"
"They've got over two hundred for now, Wheelchair Bro. Let's lie low for the moment, boost ourselves up a bit, then go after them."
Shen Chi nodded in agreement, then realized the two of them were standing one behind the other in the crevice of the cliff wall—Chu Fu probably couldn't see him.
He spoke again: "No problem. I'll try to get my hands on some flying-type mechanical gear. If both of us can fly, those two hundred are just target practice!"
That made perfect sense.
In this game, being able to fly versus not being able to fly was a night-and-day difference.
"You got it! From now on, every one we see, we kill!"
Chu Fu was thrilled too.
Finding a companion on the path to revenge—she was no longer walking alone!
"Then let's pick up the pace!"
Chu Fu pulled out a mutated dandelion seed and threw it within five meters of the Berserk Boar King.
But the result was a little awkward—it only flew two meters.
Her strength was too weak.
"Uh, Wheelchair Bro, can you use this instead of a pebble? You don't need to hit the boar—just throw it next to it! Preferably right under its belly."
Chu Fu backed off again and handed the seed to Shen Chi.
Shen Chi didn't quite understand but followed her instructions anyway.
He raised his slingshot, used the seed as ammo, and even held back a little to keep from launching it too far.
Soon, the seed landed perfectly beneath the boar's belly.
Chu Fu's talent didn't require her to touch the plant—she just needed to be within five meters to cast her spell.
She used Plant Mutation on that seed.
Instantly, the seed sprouted at breakneck speed, becoming a new mutated dandelion.
But this time, instead of blooming right away, it first grew leaf blades like electric saws.
The leaves buzzed and whirled, rapidly cutting into the Berserk Boar King's belly.
In an instant, the boar's underbelly was a bloody mess.
-2-2-2-2-2...
The Sawtooth Dandelion had ten blades, each dealing 2 damage, for a total of 20 per wave.
And it dealt damage every single second.
The damage output was massive.
Chu Fu wanted to summon another dandelion, but her mana was completely drained.
Unwilling to use a mana potion, she sat down to rest, planning to recover enough magic to recast Poison Art.
Shen Chi noticed his own attacks were far inferior to Chu Fu's, but he didn't rest either. He kept picking up pebbles to shoot at the Berserk Boar.
And so, another three full hours passed.
With a pained shriek, the massive Berserk Boar King—stuck in the rock crevice, unable even to collapse—died on the spot.
In an instant, loot scattered everywhere.
Three items glowing green, five in dark black, twelve in white, plus materials and copper coins littering the ground.
At the same time, both of them were bathed in a few beams of light.
[You have reached Level 2!]
[You have reached Level 3!]
[You have reached Level 4!]
Starting from Level 1, after defeating the boss, they shot up three levels.
Chu Fu particularly gained 15 free attribute points.
On top of that, there were also system rewards.
[Congratulations! You have achieved the first kill of the Frenzied Boar King on server 0308888. As the server’s first kill, you receive the first kill reward: all stats +1 and a silver treasure chest.]
Before Chu Fu could feel happy, the system popped up another notification.
[A server-wide announcement will be issued soon. Would you like to hide your ID?]
“Hide it!”
Chu Fu shouted almost instinctively.
By hiding her name first, she could at least have a few peaceful days and keep the Universe Studio from tracking her down.
Shen Chi received the same notification on his end and naturally chose to hide his ID as well.
As both of them concealed their information, golden text seemed to float before their eyes, and an unavoidable system voice echoed in their ears.
Every single player on server 0308888 saw it!
[Server Announcement: Players “” and “” have slain the Frenzied Boar King, achieving the server’s first kill! Rewards have been distributed.] ×3
It repeated three times.
At that moment, the entire server exploded with chatter.
Some players, still hunting rabbits, were almost kicked to death by the rabbits in their shock.
Huanyu Kuangba led the members of Universe Studio toward the location where Huanyu Kuangwu had been, but failed to find Chu Fu.
He had also guessed that Chu Fu must have used a dandelion to fly away.
This game didn’t follow any rules at all, with its bizarre classes and abilities. While it added fun, it constantly caught them off guard and exceeded their control.
“Brother Ba, Xiao Wu said that girl looked sickly, with poor basic stats. Even if she flew away, she wouldn’t be able to fight level 2 monsters,” said a 16 or 17-year-old youth with the name “Huanyu Kuangshuai” floating above his head.
“If we just take control of the level 1 monster areas, she might end up dying in a higher-level monster zone!”
More importantly, they couldn’t track this female player named “Who wants to be a plant person” at all.
Rather than waste time, it was better to focus on grinding and leveling up.
He was about to reach level 2 soon.
They had been playing since midnight, and after more than ten hours, none of them had eaten.
The game was fun, but it was still tough to handle.
“Fine, all of you spread out. Search every level 1 monster area and kill that plant person if you find her!” Huanyu Kuangba was fuming, feeling insulted and challenged.
“Brother Ba, it’s noon now. Shouldn’t we go eat first?”
“Brother Ba, I’m broke. Can you order takeout for me?”
“Brother Ba, can I get an advance on my wages?”
Everyone chimed in, voices overlapping.
Huanyu Kuangba cursed inwardly, thinking of them as a pack of beggars, online parasites.
But these people had no jobs, no lives, spent all their time gaming, and were shameless enough to bully the weak in the game, quickly building up a force.
“Fine. Twenty yuan per person for a meal allowance—enough for a budget meal combo,” Huanyu Kuangba said.
“Hey, thanks, Brother Ba!”
“Brother Ba, you’re practically my godfather!”
“Dad!”
Each person got twenty yuan and sang Huanyu Kuangba’s praises to the skies before logging off to eat.
Huanyu Kuangba was in charge of this server and had organized a group of 200 people, making him a minor boss.
He lived in the staff dormitory arranged by Wan Huanyu’s studio.
In reality, he relied on the Wan family’s business conglomerate and worked in the Wan Tu Real Estate building, which had a cafeteria, gym, and other amenities.
Who would have thought that a former gangster who had done time in jail would one day become a white-collar worker?
Guan Liqiang and Wan Huanyu had been cellmates!
Three years ago, Wan Huanyu went to a bar with his girlfriend, Sun Jingya. After leaving, he drove drunk and slammed into four cars in a row. Two people died, several were injured, and Sun Jingya was sentenced to life in prison. Even Wan Huanyu was implicated and got three years behind bars.
Guan Liqiang met Wan Huanyu inside, and they became sworn brothers. After their release, the [Primordial Gate] just happened to open.
Guan Liqiang—a broke, unskilled, girlfriend-less old bachelor and lowlife who had been behind bars—turned into the captain of a guild.
He had started with an S-rank talent and even rushed to register Zone [001] alongside the guild leader.
But unexpectedly, after the level-10 village defense battle, they headed to Fengdu Town. Just as they left the town, an assassin wiped them all out. Having no other choice, they quickly applied and, five days later, joined Zone 015.
This time, Wan Huanyu survived, but Guan Liqiang got caught in the crossfire while fighting a boss and died again.
His talent had dropped to B-rank, and his rebuilt character ended up in Zone 030. The upside was that this time he no longer had to play second fiddle to Wan Huanyu—instead, he had become the big shot.
Guan Liqiang was incredibly smug, acting like a bully with borrowed power, already looking forward to using his new authority to hit on some cute girls in the guild.
What pissed him off, though, was that when he recruited a bunch of people today, hardly any women joined. A few even straight-up called him a toad lusting after swan meat, and he killed them in a malicious PK.
He couldn’t shake the feeling that after getting out of prison, the girls these days were nothing like the female players he used to meet in games.
