Chapter 3 Chapter 3 One Kill
Yun Miao actually didn't understand how things turned out like this. At that time, she was packing her bags and thinking about how to get the storage props for this game as soon as possible.
As a hoarder, immersive, hard-working, and zero-charge player, one of the joys of playing the big world game for her is filling up her game backpack with all the items worth 999!
A scream shattered her fantasy. A male NPC ran into the temple, and a huge, hideous spider ran to the temple gate. Then a group of NPCs began to talk about the plot.
Yun Miao's first reaction was to open the system panel and look for the button to skip the plot. Unfortunately, after searching for a long time, she regretfully discovered that the plot of "Asking the Three Thousand Questions" could not be skipped.
Fortunately, this part of the plot is quite interesting when you savor it carefully, especially when the spider started crawling along the outer wall of the ruined temple and poked its head out of the hole in the roof. Even she, the player, was scared and her heart beat faster.
But that's not the point. The point is... where is the health bar of this spider monster?
As we all know, the health bar is an important part of most games on the market. "Asking the Three Thousand Questions" also has a health bar setting. As long as Yun Miao stares at an NPC for more than three seconds, a prompt box will float above their head.
Black-faced man: Realm: Mortal Realm, HP: 88 points
Tall and Thin: Realm: Mortal Realm, HP: 75 points
Girl in Black: Realm: Mortal Realm, HP: 96
Old woman: Realm: Qi training level 9, HP: 1463 points
Yun Miao's character is currently in the mortal realm, with a health bar of 100 points. The only people present who have no health bars are the male NPC who just ran in and the mountain spider. This is obviously a problem.
Just as she was wondering why, a flickering red light outside the threshold caught her attention.
She squinted her eyes and took a closer look, and saw a small spider, only the size of a thumb but with a blood stripe on its head, standing up with most of its body standing up, supported only by its two hind legs, and its front legs scratching the air in front of it.
Because it was so small and everyone else's attention was attracted by the mountain spider on the roof, only Yun Miao, who was sitting on the ground, noticed this strange scene.
Realm: Qi training level 5
HP: 674 points
Unlike other NPCs whose health bars can only be revealed after staring at them for three seconds, the health bar of this little spider appeared directly in Yun Miao's field of vision, and the long health bar frame was glowing with a conspicuous red light, as if afraid that she could not see it.
Yun Miao didn't understand why the terrifying mountain spider had no health bar, but this thumb-sized spider did. However, she understood another thing: this small spider that would directly display its health bar was obviously a red-named monster that was hostile to players.
So she thought for only a second before decisively pushing aside the old woman blocking the door, taking off her shoes and using them as weapons to start attacking.
Hey! How dare a mere Spider-Man show her his red name? Eat my shoe!
However, just as the straw sandals hit the little spider that stood up with a sound of breaking through the air, it had already sensed the danger. It immediately opened its mouthparts and sprayed a line of smelly green liquid towards Yun Miao.
Bang!
Yun Miao's shoes hit the little spider hard, and a line of prompts immediately appeared above the little spider's head: [Health -80].
At the same time, the thin line of green venom also fell on Yun Miao's arm, and her eyes suddenly turned black.
*
You've been poisoned
[Poison Resistance +1]
[You have died. Please choose to rewind or revive at the same location. Note: To prevent intelligent NPCs from experiencing programming errors due to cognitive issues, players who choose to revive at the same location will be reverted to the minute before their death.]
In the pitch-black death space, the huge bronze sundial serving as the background texture was spinning rapidly. The system prompt box floated in front of Yun Miao's eyes. The first two lines of prompts paused for a few seconds and then disappeared, leaving only the last prompt floating in the air.
Huh? No...she died immediately?
Yun Miao touched her arm. Because she had lowered her pain sensitivity to zero beforehand, she didn't feel any pain, but she felt a little depressed.
She had just entered the game less than an hour ago, how could she die?
Was this a plot twist? Was the game telling her she had to rely on the old woman at the ninth level of Qi training to clear the level?
The stubborn player said he didn't want to accept the game's arrangement. Yun Miao called up his character panel and looked at the newly added "Poison Resistance: 1" on it. Suddenly, an immature idea came to his mind.
Yun Miao: Hey :)
A moment later...
You are dead
[Poison Resistance +1]
You are dead
[Poison Resistance +1]
You are dead
[Poison Resistance +1]
…
[Poison Resistance +0.5]
…
[Poison Resistance +0.1]
Player Name: Yunmiao
Gender: Female
…
Poison resistance: 1…5…8.5…12.6…
After dying more than a dozen times, Yun Miao successfully transformed from a fragile little girl who was instantly killed by a single venom shot into a tough girl who could still be alive and kicking after taking three venom shots!
In the pitch-black death space, Yun Miao looked at the prompt "Poison Resistance +0.1" with disdain and decisively chose to resurrect on the spot again.
The benefits of continuing to grind are too low, so it’s better to get through this plot quickly.

The crowd had no idea how hard a player would work to improve their attributes. They only saw the strange child squeeze past Grandma Hua and sit at the door, then inexplicably pick up his shoes and throw them towards the open space outside the threshold.
Only Grandma Hua and Huo Xin, who were close by, followed her movements and finally noticed the little spider outside the threshold.
Compared to the giant mountain spider, this little spider was as small as dust and looked no different from an ordinary spider. It was not until it started spraying venom that the two of them were shocked and thought to themselves that something was wrong.
Granny Hua wanted to use her long sword to block the attack for the strange child, but she seemed to have predicted it and dodged it easily by raising her arm the moment the poison shot out.
Bang!
When the green venom fell on the ground, the straw sandals also hit the little spider hard.
The man who had been screaming just now suddenly collapsed to the ground, and the mountain spider on the roof let out an angry hiss, retreated from the hole, and began to trample on the roof violently.
All of a sudden, countless tiles kept hitting the ground like hail, the beams were severely twisted, and even the roof began to deform, making a teeth-grinding creaking sound.
Grandma Hua didn't understand why the mountain spider suddenly got angry: Could that little spider be the offspring of the mountain spider? But it doesn't look like it...
But now was not the time to think about these things. She stomped her feet on the ground and flew up to the roof through the hole in the northwest corner as light as a hawk.
"It seems like today's situation won't end peacefully. Never mind, Xin'er, take them out first. I'll come deal with this!"
Huo Xin knew Grandma Hua's physical condition: "No, Grandma, you are too old..."
Granny Hua's hoarse voice was tinged with laughter: "Haha, don't worry about me. Even though I'm old, I can still knock out this spider's front teeth if we really fight!"
As she spoke, she had already started fighting with the mountain spider, and sparks flew from the collision between her long sword and forelimbs.
Huo Xin had no choice but to turn around and yell at the others, "Follow me!"
"Ohhh! Wait a minute, let's drag him out together."
The black-faced man looked at the expanding hole in the northwest corner of the roof in panic, then he and the tall and thin man hugged their heads and ran to the back, wanting to escape with the unconscious man.
Seeing this, Huo Xin turned around and shouted to the strange child at the door: "The temple is about to collapse, run!"
Then she ran towards the depths of the ruined temple, intending to help the black-faced man and the others.
However, the stubborn player pretended not to hear anything. He only saw the ruined temple shaking and tiles flying all over the sky. Yun Miao sat motionless at the doorstep, holding his shoes and launching a series of thunder combos at the little spider.
Bang bang bang!
eighty! eighty! eighty!
At first, the little spider could spit venom to fight back. Yun Miao would dodge it if he could, and if he couldn't, he would just take it head-on. In just two breaths, he had beaten the little spider to a low health.
The originally ferocious little spider finally believed in the shoes, and it quickly moved its five remaining legs, trying to escape by rolling and crawling. Unfortunately, it was too small and its speed dropped too much. Before it could run a few steps, the shoe soles that covered the sky were pressing towards it again!
Because Yun Miao was too focused on fighting monsters, she didn't notice that the shaking of the ruined temple had stopped at some point, the tiles stopped flying, and even the ruined temple itself and the mountain spider began to flicker strangely.
Granny Hua was the first person to notice something was wrong. She frowned and stared at the mountain spider's illusory figure for a few seconds. Suddenly, she flipped over and jumped back to the ruined temple, her eyes fixed on Yun Miao at the door.
Huo Xin quickly walked over to Granny Hua and followed her gaze towards the strange child at the door: "Granny, this is..."
Granny Hua raised her hand to signal her to be quiet. The dark-faced man and the tall and thin man who had already run to the man's side kept holding their heads and looked blankly at the quiet ruined temple. Then they also looked at the strange child who was still waving his straw sandals.
In this eerie and quiet environment under the watchful eyes of everyone, Yun Miao gave the little spider the final blow.
Bang!
The little spider's health bar was completely emptied. At the same time, as if something invisible was punctured, the entire dilapidated temple and the giant mountain spider disappeared in an instant.
The original site of the dilapidated temple had become a wasteland with sparse weeds. The moonlight made the grass on the ground sparkle silver, and the light from the bonfire flickered in the wind.
The dark-faced man and the tall and thin man huddled together with panic on their faces.
"What's going on?"
"Where's the temple? Where's the mountain spider?"
Granny Hua looked around thoughtfully, then she sheathed her sword, and a hint of loneliness appeared on her old face.
"I see... I'm old, old, with my dim eyesight, I didn't even notice that. But a little kid saved my life. It's true that the waves behind push the waves ahead, each wave stronger than the last. Heroes emerge from youth..."
Huo Xin walked over and held Grandma Hua's hand, but his eyes were still on the figure in the distance.
Yun Miao's gaze fell directly on the little spider's corpse, on which two tiny lights flickered, reminding players not to forget to pick up their spoils.
So she tentatively stretched out her fingers to push aside the spider's broken head and abdominal shell, and picked up the two gleaming objects inside.
[Venom gland of an unknown spider]: Contains a small amount of spiritual energy, and contains a venom that is fatal to mortals.
[Silk gland of an unknown spider]: Contains a small amount of spiritual energy, but its function is unknown.
The author has something to say:

Yun Miao: I can make countless mistakes, but you can only make one! This is the result of not believing in evil (shoes)!
