[System Notification: Defeating alien creatures grants experience points. The top 100 players in the daily level rankings will receive an additional unranked blind box reward.]

Gu Mian: ...

Before I even opened my eyes, a barrage of system notifications bombarded me.

She opened the light screen and found that there was an extra number 0 in the upper left corner of the personal avatar, and a yellow experience bar below the avatar: 0/100.

This should be the experience points needed to advance to the next level.

Open your personal panel again.

Seeing that the data was all healthy, Gu Mian turned off the light screen with peace of mind.

The most important thing now is to first confirm whether the surrounding environment is safe, and then contact your teammates.

She looked up and surveyed her surroundings. It was a vast primeval forest, with a thicket of bushes taller than a person to her left.

As soon as she looked over, she heard a soft rustling sound coming from the bushes.

The bushes slowly parted in the middle, and a green-skinned monster emerged.

It has a flat nose and big eyes, is entirely green, is about one meter tall, and is holding a wooden stick in its hand.

[Goblin: A different race (Tier 1), with 100 HP, 20 Attack, and 10 Speed.]

As soon as the goblin saw Gu Mian, it opened its blood-red maw, howled excitedly, and charged towards her, waving its wooden club.

Gu Mian: ...

You, a level 1 monster, dare to be so arrogant?

With a casual wave of her hand, Gu Mian sent ten willow-leaf blades flying towards the goblin.

[Health Points - 10]

[Health Points - 10]

...

[Defeat a Tier 1 Goblin and gain 1 experience point.]

There's absolutely no need to use the Floating Light Glazed Fan to deal with these small monsters.

Yes, the only weapons Gu Mian brought into the hunting grounds were the Radiant Glass Fan and the Willow Leaf Knife.

The reason for including the shimmering glass fan is its small size; it can be easily tucked into the sides of a backpack without taking up much space.

The reason for carrying the willow-leaf dagger is that it can be used without limit, and as long as the weapon belt is tied to the leg, the dagger can be drawn and used at any time.

It's an absolute killer against these low-level monsters!

The goblin's figure slowly dissipated into the air, and at the same time, a 250ml bottle of mineral water appeared on the ground.

Gu Mian: ?

You can get supplies by defeating monsters?

Now you don't have to worry about your backpack not working anymore!

As long as she keeps fighting monsters, she won't lack food!

There wasn't a single inch of space left in her backpack, so Gu Mian could only hold the bottled water in her hand and then go look for the monster.

...

Two hours later, Gu Mian sat blankly on a tree stump, trying to recover her strength.

Wasn't the ratio of players to alien creatures supposed to be 1 to 10?

Why did she encounter a goblin as soon as she teleported in?

Gu Mian opened the chat channel, feeling lost and confused, wanting to see what the other players were doing.

"Oh my god! Goblins are everywhere! I don't have the stamina to fight them!"

"[924.665] Come to this coordinate. There are no monsters here. You can come here to recover your stamina."

"I never imagined that one day I would be chased by a group of level one monsters..."

"Upstairs, it's not your fault. Who knew this hunting ground would be so unfair? Killing a monster would cost you 10 stamina points!"

What?

Fighting monsters will deduct stamina?

Gu Mian was stunned, then opened her personal panel and found that her stamina was still 90, basically unchanged.

(ー_ー)!!

That's true. She only fought a goblin. Even if her stamina was reduced by 10 points, two hours have passed. It should have recovered by now.

After closing her personal panel, Gu Mian clicked into the large group chat again.

"Who came up with this name? Queen Mianmian's Harem?" Gu Mian wiped the cold sweat from her forehead: "Are you guys up to something?"

Gu Xiaobei immediately jumped in to complain: "It was Brother Kun! I advised him not to change his name to this, but he wouldn't listen and insisted on changing it!"

Xu Kun: "You little brat...you've betrayed me already?"

Jiang Bai: "Kun, I knew Gu Mian would be angry. Quickly change the name back."

Xu Kun: "...Okay."

Before Gu Mian could even catch her breath, she saw that the group name had been changed to "Princess Mianmian's Knights Group".

Gu Mian: "...You really don't care whether I live or die..."

Xu Kun: "Hehe, good sister, don't worry about such a small thing. How's the situation on your end? Are there many monsters?"

I asked you several times in the group before, but you didn't reply, which made me quite worried.

Gu Mian: "Not many... I've only encountered one Tier 1 goblin so far..."
