Wang Xiaoyi slept until almost noon.
Wang Xiaoyi got up, heated up the leftovers in the refrigerator, and ate a makeshift meal.
At 1 p.m., Wang Xiaoyi lay in the game pod, put on the game helmet, and entered the game.
As soon as Wang Xiaoyi entered the game, he saw that the village gate was already lined with a dense array of barricades.
At the village entrance, a few bandits were fighting with the players.
The attacking bandits were all level 5 elite monsters, wielding shields in their left hands and broadswords in their right.
Directly opposite the village entrance, there are two players, one holding a sword and the other holding an arrow.
[Your Gragas, My Gnar] Dodged the bandit's attack, moved to the bandit's right side, avoided the bandit's shield, and stabbed the bandit with his sword.
The bandit's health bar shifted slightly. [-50]
[Your Gragas, My Gnar] has reached level 5 and equipped a blue-quality longsword, with an attack power of 80, making him a high-level player among new players.
"Well done, brother!"
【You Ashe, I'm the Healer】Seize the opportunity and, taking advantage of the bandit's stunned state after being hit, shoot an arrow into the bandit's head.
[-100] The bandit's health bar visibly dropped!
"Well done, little brother!"
"Two swords (arrows) combined!"
"Invincible under heaven!"
The two brothers were well-equipped, skilled, and coordinated, and it took them three minutes to kill the bandits.
Wang Xiaoyi then observed the current situation of the other players.
Some were blocked by the bandits' shields, then kicked to the ground and killed.
Some players fought for a long time, finally managing to hit the bandits, only to only deal 20 points of damage.
Some people, armed with bows and arrows, stood 10 meters away but couldn't hit a single arrow. They were then cut down by bandits who got close and killed them with a single blow, dying with zero damage.
It can be described as a diverse array of stories, each with its own unique way of dying and its own novelty.
As Wang Xiaoyi walked out of the starting village, a newly spawned bandit approached him.
Wang Xiaoyi slashed at the mountain bandits with his sword, the blade's energy whistling through the air.
【-2068】
The bandit fell to the ground instantly, his health bar emptied.
[Ding! You have gained 500 experience points!]
[Ding! You have received 5000 copper coins!]
All the players in the beginner village looked at Wang Xiaoyi, and for a moment, you could hear a pin drop.
Wang Xiaoyi was also embarrassed at this moment. It was originally just an ordinary day of showing off, but he didn't expect to make a mistake right at the beginning.
Wang Xiaoyi estimated that the bandits had around 1500 health points, and he could take one down in two hits. That would be pretty cool and stylish!
But to my utter surprise, with a 25% critical hit rate, my first attack actually landed a critical hit.
What should I do? I can't let my expert persona crumble!
Wang Xiaoyi realized that his mindset had changed unconsciously; he was carrying a heavy burden of being a master!
To avoid embarrassment, Wang Xiaoyi used the [Vanguard] skill and ran out of the village!
"If they saw that I needed two strikes to kill the bandits, wouldn't my image as a master be ruined!"
"This won't do!" Wang Xiaoyi muttered to himself as he ran.
【You Ashe, I'm the Healer】: "What a master! This is a master! He leaves without a trace after accomplishing his task, concealing his merits and fame! Am I right, brother!"
[I'm Gragas, You're Gnar]: "You're absolutely right, little brother! The greatest heroes are those who serve their country and its people! The boss knows there are many bandits outside, this is to relieve the pressure on us!"
【You Ashe, I'm the Healer】: "How could I not have thought of that, brother! This is the legendary—"
"With great power comes great responsibility!" the two brothers said in unison.
"Go for it, brother!"
"Go for it, little brother!"
Wang Xiaoyi arrived outside the beginner village and saw a small bandit stronghold. Bandits were constantly spawning, and they were sparsely scattered as they walked up the mountain path.
Wang Xiaoyi stood on the only road leading from the mountain bandits to the beginner village, beginning his day of grinding monsters.
[-1034] One hit takes away two-thirds of the target's health.
[-1034] Two hits to empty the health bar.
[Ding! You have gained 500 experience points!]
[Ding! You have received 5000 copper coins!]
[Ding! You have obtained a pair of inferior quality wristbands (white)!]
[-2068] A critical hit takes him down in one strike!
[Ding! You have gained 500 experience points!]
[Ding! You have received 5000 copper coins!]
[Ding! Obtained crafting blueprint: Bandit Bracers (Blue) *1!]
...
For those who have connections, life is simple and unpretentious.
Although bandits don't drop materials and the amount of copper coins is less than from killing groups of white rabbits, the good thing is that there are plenty of them!
Most importantly, once the bandits spawn, they immediately start giving away experience, copper coins, equipment, and blueprints—a one-stop service. Wang Xiaoyi doesn't have to spend time traveling, so it's not too much of a loss for him.
Half an hour later, Wang Xiaoyi reached level 11.
Two hours later, Wang Xiaoyi reached level 12.
Four hours later, Wang Xiaoyi reached level 13.
Seven hours later, Wang Xiaoyi reached level 14.
[The bandit leader will attack in one hour. Please be prepared!]
The number of bandits spawning in the strongholds has also begun to decrease significantly, clearly to give players an hour's buffer time.
Wang Xiaoyi returned to the starting village and went to the blacksmith shop. He first sold all the white equipment he had obtained to Wang Dachui and received 100 silver coins.
After seven hours of frantic harvesting, Wang Xiaoyi finally completed the bandit's set.
