Online Game: The King of the New World - Chapter 7

Chapter 7 Misty Forest
“Let’s go, Qingwu, it’s time to go to the Misty Forest!” After resting in the village for a while, Xu You beckoned Qingwu to leave.

‘”Wait, Le Wuyou, the road to the Misty Forest is not safe. I’m very pleased with your performance. This is a little bit of supplies. Take it, I hope I can help you!” Kasi said as they passed by Kasi’s side, “Wait, Le Wuyou, the road to the Misty Forest is not safe.” After saying that, Cass took out some things and handed them to Xu You.

Xu You looked at it and his hands trembled. Little Blood Aquarius: Recovers 80 HP immediately after use. Can be used in battle. Cooldown: 20 seconds.

It was actually a battle replenishment that immediately recovered HP-Blood Aquarius, Xu You returned five bottles, but this was not the reason why Xu You was so excited. It was because Qingwu did not receive the same treatment. This meant that Cass’ actions were not missions, but the personal actions of Cass, an NPC. Combined with Cass’s words, Xu You immediately recalled his full-value charm. Could this be the role of charm? !

“Ah! You! How did you get such a good thing? Why didn’t I! Could it be that your charm value is … 10? No wonder the NPC is so special to you!” Qingwu and Xu You were on the same team, so Qingwu could see Cass’s actions. However, after Cass gave Xu You the blood bottle, he ignored her, causing the girl to be jealous! However, she wasn’t stupid. Thinking back to the NPC’s performance towards Xu You, Qingwu also remembered the attribute of charm. Her charm was 7, but she didn’t get the blood bottle. Xu You’s charm was definitely higher than hers. Furthermore, it was higher than hers to a certain extent. That should be worth it. The smart girl’s guess was right, and Xu You was impressed.

“Don’t tell anyone!” Xu You said with a smile, which was equivalent to admitting Qingwu’s words. Logically speaking, he and Qingwu had not yet reached the point of not saying anything, but Xu You still revealed this secret. Perhaps it was Qingwu’s innocence that infected him, causing him to quickly acknowledge this teammate.

“Wow! So powerful, as expected! It’s right to follow you.” Qingwu looked wise and mighty, but he was very moved by Xu You’s trust in his heart. Although this fellow made her very angry at the beginning, after getting along with him for a period of time, she discovered that this person was still not bad.

“Alright, go find the Village Chief. There should be an NPC selling things there! You should also clear your bag!” Xu You didn’t know what Qingwu was thinking, and after hearing Qingwu’s childish words, he couldn’t help but smile.

“That’s right, I said just now that my bag is full. I can finally clear out those useless things.” Qingwu said with some frustration, and then he became happy.

When players were born, the system had a 10-square bag. There were so many monsters, some useless items dropped, as well as useless mission rewards and exchanged equipment. The 10-square bag had already been filled. Under such a low exchange rate of game coins, no players would throw away the garbage in the early stages. Therefore, it was time for the two of them to clean up their bags.

The Misty Forest was located to the north of Little Pool Village. After they left the village, they followed the directions of the road signs and set foot on the road to the north. However, they soon understood what Cass meant by unsafe.

Generally speaking, It’s safest to follow a clear path in the game, Because there are fewer monsters around the road, However, Xu You found that the path leading to the Fog Forest violated this rule. Monsters were densely packed in the middle of the road. Moreover, these monsters were already Level 5 monsters that could attack actively, just like the thief leader who killed Xu You in the dark cave.

Raging Wolf: LV5, HP 220;

Infuriated Kindergarten Master: LV5, HP 230.

These two monsters completely cut off the path to the north. Now, Xu You finally understood why some players were still chopping monsters around the village at LV3. For example, they encountered the God of Slaughter in the cave. It turned out that this place was not passable! Even if the Thief’s attack was extremely high, it would be more than enough to fight against these level 5 monsters alone. However, the problem was that these monsters were relatively dense. When fighting in close combat without long-range monster attracting skills, he would be able to kill monsters at close range. The difference in level would make it very easy for him to lure monsters to the side. At that time, no matter how high his martial arts skills were, it would be useless.

Of course, there’s no problem with a few teammates in the group, But not everyone likes to team up, Otherwise, there wouldn’t be so many famous lone wolves, Moreover, during the Novice Village stage, most of their relatives and friends were separated, and their chances of forming a team were greatly reduced. Therefore, apart from a few large Guild members who happened to be able to form a team in the same Novice Village, there was only the wild team. However, the players of the wild team left the team after completing the mission. They were disorganized and undisciplined. Otherwise, they would not be called the wild team.

Therefore, many people who didn’t want to team up couldn’t pass. They all wanted to cut down the monster to level 5 first, and then slowly kill it. However, if it was Xu You, he would definitely go back to the village to find his teammates. Just like now, he wasn’t a lone wolf.

However, Xu You felt a headache when he thought of another question. Because of the remote presence of Qingwu, there ‘s no problem attracting monsters, It wouldn’t be a problem for the two of them to kill a Level 5 monster together, But from the monsters on this path, Even if he did, Arriving at the Fog Forest, Not necessarily to deal with the mission there, This was probably one of the reasons why Xu You would rather go back and level up monsters than form a team. However, if he chose to go back and level up monsters, it would probably take a lot more time. Now that he had been playing this game for a while, the fastest level training speed that Xu You had summed up was still to complete missions. At least at this stage, it was like this.

‘”Qingwu, we have two choices now. First, we should go back and level up the monsters. Second, we should kill these monsters carefully and continue our mission in the Misty Forest. However, with our abilities, we might not be able to complete any missions. Which one do you choose?” Xu You decided that it was better to ask Qingwu. After all, the two of them were teammates.

“Why do you want to go back and chop monsters to upgrade? You’re not sure we can’t do the Misty Forest mission. Let’s kill them first!” Qingwu looked at Xu You strangely and felt that he was thinking too much.

“Uh, alright, let’s go over there!” Xu You felt that he was despised by the girl.

After making a decision, the next thing was very simple. Qingwu was in charge of attracting monsters. As a long-range attacker with a range of 10 meters (long-range output professions such as Hunter and Mage would increase their range to 20 meters after a single turn), as long as they attracted monsters from the farthest distance, they would not attract other monsters.

Wild Wolf and Kindergarten Master’s running speed is 4 meters per second, It takes a little over two seconds to get to Qingwu and attack, Qingwu’s attack interval was three seconds, In other words, If Qingwu wants to attack the monster twice, I’m gonna get beaten up by a monster, Of course, a qualified hunter wouldn’t do that, because they could use kite-flying techniques to reduce the number of times they were beaten, and even reach the ideal state of zero deduction. However, in the early stages, without deceleration skills and baby hunters, zero deduction would be unthinkable. With Qingwu’s HP armor, they wouldn’t be able to withstand two attacks from a level 5 monster.

However, in order to reduce the waiting time for blood recovery, Xu You still let Qing Wu fly a kite to fight monsters. Although her blood recovery was fast at this stage, so many monsters had accumulated. Xu You understood that this was not the first time Qing Wu had played the game-hunter profession. She knew how to fly a kite.

-90,-88,-93!

Qingwu used the kite to hit the monster twice, and Xu You stepped forward to add a hammer. This way, he could easily kill a Level 5 raging wolf. Moreover, neither of them was hurt, and no other monsters would be attracted. What a perfect combination.

‘Ding! You killed the furious wolf and gained 1 experience point (0 team reward).’

Just like that, the two of them slowly cleared a path from the monster and slowly advanced.

The path occupied by the wild wolves and the young teachers was actually not long. It was only about 30 meters long, but if there were dozens of monsters concentrated on the road, it would be very long. Thus, it took the two of them nearly 15 minutes to clear the path after killing all the monsters blocking the way. However, the two finally experienced the pleasure of not having to wait for a refresh to kill the monsters!

“Daze, these monsters are giving me too little experience.” Xu You turned around and looked at the almost empty road. He complained that they had killed so many monsters and gained more than 30 experience points.

“This is to prevent players from leveling up these monsters, right? Didn’t you see any players leveling up here?” Qingwu tilted his head and analyzed.

“Such a dense monster, the system refresh will be very slow. Even if you want to, you can’t.” Xu You said.

“That’s not necessarily the case.” As soon as Qingwu finished speaking, something happened. The passageway they had just cleared had actually been refreshed with dense monsters, filling up the not-so-spacious road once again.

“Look, I told you!” Qingwu looked at Xu You proudly.

“This” Xu You was stunned by the situation in front of him. If they were slower to clear the monster, wouldn’t they be surrounded by the monster? If that was the case, he would definitely die. This made Xu You glad for the decision to let Qingwu fly the kite to kill the monster and reduce the time it took to recover blood.

The facts in front of him proved that Qingwu’s analysis was correct. Xu You had no choice but to admire her. This girl was very smart and had strong observation. If it wasn’t for her personality, she would have taken me to level up now.

Xu You did not plan to level up the monster here. It was too slow. The two of them continued to walk north. The road behind them was much easier. Although Xu You and the others saw level 6 or 7 monsters, they were very far away from the sides of the road and posed no threat to them.

Hungry Vulture: Level 7, 300 HP.

Misty Spider: Level 6, 260 HP.

…

New high-level monsters kept appearing along the way, making Xu You even more certain that the Misty Forest’s mission would be harder. However, since they had already arrived, they couldn’t retreat. As long as they were careful, the two of them should be able to deal with these level 6 and 7 monsters.

Very quickly, the two of them arrived at the entrance of the Misty Forest, and the village chief they were looking for was here. Moreover, there was finally an NPC that could sell things here.
