Chapter 15: Looking for a Boss
After logging off and eating some snacks, Zhang Shan continued to farm on the rabbit map for a while. He did not find anything until Thousand Miles Riding Alone came online.
“Come quickly, Brother. What’s there to farm on your own? Come over and join me. I’m so slow. Wind-Blowing Wind Chimes hasn’t logged on yet.”
“Okay, I’m going over now.”
He did not need to buy any supplies. He had enough bullets. Zhang Shan directly ran towards the level 10 monster map according to the location information of his team member. Along the way, he encountered monsters of all levels, as well as other players who were farming monsters. 1
The map of the New World was indeed a bit big. It was still in the novice village, and it had taken him more than 20 minutes to run to the level 10 monster area. Zhang Shan still had shoes, so it was hard to imagine how he would run in the future maps. He hoped that he could get his mount as soon as possible to save some time on the map.
When he ran to Thousand Miles Riding Alone’s end, he saw he was holding an ax and fighting with a goat. He had dealt over 100 damage in an instant. The goat had only hit him 20 times or so. There was no pressure at all. After Zhang Shan traded some strength-type trash white-tier equipment to him, he immediately joined in the attack.
The EXP that a level 10 monster gave was really high. A single horned goat gave more than 100 EXP. If it was split between two persons, each would have more than 50 EXP. It was more than 10 times that of a rabbit. Of course, the monster’s HP was also very high. It was a total of 2,000 HP. If Zhang Shan were to fight alone, he had no idea how it would turn out. His attack power was only 70, and he had to attack 30 hits. Until now, he had not obtained the weapon that he could use. His attack power was really pathetic.
“Brother, your damage is less than half of mine. Haha.” Thousand Miles Riding Alone was very proud of himself. It was like a big brother taking care of his little brother.
“There’s nothing I can do. I am still using the novice musket. The accessory is only a level 1 ring. I’m still short of a necklace and a ring. How can it not be tragic?” Zhang Shan was also speechless. The difference in equipment was becoming more and more obvious. He had to quickly level up to level 10. After leaving the novice village, it was much more convenient to trade equipment with others.
“When will Wind-Blowing Wind Chimes and the others come online?” Zhang Shan asked.
“I don’t know. The big shots care a lot about their health. Although they play the game, it doesn’t affect their schedule at all.”
“I really don’t know how the Storm Guild managed to become one of the top ten guilds playing like this.” Zhang Shan was a little puzzled. 1
“Needless to say, in playing the game, they either damage their livers or use their cash. When they come across equipment or items that they like, big shots like them don’t even blink when they use a million blue coins.”
“I still don’t understand the world of big shots.”
“That’s not a big deal. Although they invest a lot, it doesn’t necessarily mean that they lose money. If they invest a lot, not only will they enjoy themselves, but after they become famous in the game, they will also have many ways to earn money. For example, they can do endorsements, exclusive interviews, or even live streaming. In any case, the more famous they are, the faster the money will come. They might earn more than they spend. It’s just that most people wouldn’t be able to withstand the massive investment in the early stages. Moreover, if they fail, all of it would be for naught.”
“What background do Wind-Blowing Wind Chimes and the others have? Are they rich second generation?”
“They have to be the second generation. It’s just that I don’t know what type of the second generation they are. I don’t know if they are rich second generation or political second generation. I heard that they should be political second generation. I don’t know if these gossips are true.”
“Then how about the Storm Guild? What do people say about Storm of the World?”
“How should I put it? Among the top ten guilds, the Storm Guild is definitely not the strongest. They might even be at the bottom. However, even if they are at the bottom, they are still one of the top ten guilds. We cannot underestimate them. As for the Storm of the World, how should I put it? I feel that he plays the game very casually. He is also very easy-going. Just like when I snatched his boss in the game previously, I was not hunted down by the bounty. It seemed like he didn’t really care about these things. He lacked a bit of dominance, but this kind of person was the easiest to get along with.”
“Then how did he lead the Storm Guild to be the top ten guilds? That shouldn’t be. It’s not easy to survive in the game if you’re not domineering enough. Everyone would come and bully you.” Zhang Shan was a little confused.
“Hehe, no matter how good-tempered a person is, there will still be times when he loses his temper. Even Buddha too will lose his temper. Previously, the Storm Guild was just a small guild. They had only a few dozen powerful players with powerful equipment playing together. Some people became envious and kept sniping at them. In the end, guess what? Storm of the World had spent a lot of money recruiting a large number of players. They had directly killed the members of a large guild until they were scattered around. After that, they did not dare to go online anymore. The Storm Guild had also become one of the top ten guilds since then. The power of money was limitless.” Thousand Miles Riding Alone said with a sigh.
“That’s good too. I just hate it when the large guilds fight and kill each other. They don’t even let people play the game properly. It seems that there’s no need to worry too much.”
“Brother, you’re dreaming too much. Do you think it’s easy to sit in the position of the top ten guilds in the alliance? This was a golden signboard representing countless resources and benefits. How could it not be challenged by someone? Just wait. The great excitement will come later. There are many things to play.”
“Sigh, forget it. Let’s just leave it to fate. I just want to quietly farm monsters.”
The two of them continued to farm while chatting. The efficiency was not bad. Zhang Shan had increased the Headshot to level 9. There was a 4.5% chance of triggering it. It was very impressive. In addition, both of them had Heavy Strike. They could use it from time to time and farm very fast. A monster took about 20 seconds. Zhang Shan’s experience bar was also slowly rising.
Thinking of the skill, Zhang Shan remembered that he had learned level 1 Taming. However, only animals that had not been demonized could be tamed. He did not know where to find it. In any case, he had never seen it before.
“Oh yes, Brother Thousand Miles, have you seen any animals that have not been demonized?”
“No, why are you asking about this? Are there such monsters? Isn’t the theme of this New World the battle between humans and demons? Other than humans, the rest should be demonized monsters.”
“Impossible, I spawned a Hunter class skill book on the rabbit map. Taming could tame animals that were not demonized. Since there was such a skill book, there should be a suitable monster for taming.” Zhang Shan said with certainty.
“Is that so? You spawned another skill book on the rabbit. Together with Wind Chime’s Rejuvenation Skill, the rabbit has already given us two skill books. Was rabbit so generous? Why didn’t he give us a Berserker skill book? ” Thousand Miles Riding Alone was jealous.
“Jealousy distorts people. Brother, don’t get carried away. If you can’t find a suitable monster, Taming skill is useless. You’re wasting one of my skill points.” 3
“D*mn it! A full man doesn’t know that the hunger of a hungry man. Send me the skill and let me see.”
Taming: level 1; has a chance of taming an undemonized animal to become a player’s pet; after taming, the pet’s attributes will be strengthened by 10%; cooldown time: 30 seconds; magic point consumption: 30 points; class requirement: Hunter.
“So there are undemonized monsters? This skill is awesome. If a Hunter brings a pet with him, wouldn’t that be awesome? A person can farm monsters without getting hurt.” 3
“It’s not bad. I just need to find a suitable monster. There probably aren’t any more in the novice village. Let’s talk about it in the future. Speaking of which, the skill books in the New World were really hard to come by. Right now, I didn’t even have a single usable skill. My magic points were only for show.” Zhang Shan couldn’t help but complain.
“That’s right. I’m still a Fallen Leaf Slash. I don’t have the elegance of a Berserker at all. At the very least, let me have a skill such as Charge.”
Just as the two of them were engrossed in their conversation, Wind-Blowing Wind Chimes came online.
Zhang Shan traded little blue and some white tier equipment to her.
“Wind Chimes Beauty, those who leveled up the fastest, how far are they from level 10?” Thousand Miles Riding Alone asked.
“Hard to say. I heard that more than half of level 9 have leveled up.”
“How can these people be so fast? We even fought a boss and leveled up another level. Now, we’re only at level 9 and have 10,000 EXP or so. What about your brother? How many EXP does he have now? Does he have the chance to be the first to leave the novice village?” Thousand Miles Riding Alone continued to ask Wind-Blowing Wind Chimes.
“My brother only has 10,000 to 20,000 EXP more than us. They’re not farming faster than us. After all, you’re using an orange weapon, so the damage is much higher. Others are working harder. We rested for two hours. There should be quite a number of people who haven’t logged off yet.”
At this moment, Zhang Shan interrupted, “Don’t be so cocky. I’m still at level 8. I’m still a little short of leveling up to level 9.”
“Hehe.”
“By the way, should we go look for a boss? It’s still better to farm the boss. Not only does it drop good equipment, but it’s also leveling up quickly. If we can kill another boss, we might even be able to level up to level 10,” said Thousand
Miles Riding Alone.
“Stop dreaming. The wild boar king was already so strong, not to mention here. Even if there is a boss here, it is still level 10. Who can beat it?” Zhang Shan said mercilessly.
“That may not be true,” Wind-Blowing Wind Chimes thought about it and said, “The wild boar king was an orange boss, that’s why it was so strong. There should be a purple or even a blue boss. If that’s the case, it shouldn’t be that strong. Moreover, the Little Secretary also bought a skill book for the Guardian class in the afternoon. Guardian’s Heart, passive increase in HP and Taunt, are all very suitable for fighting a boss. The only thing is we do not know if we can find a suitable boss.”
“Oh? There’s such a thing? Then I’ll go look for a boss. I have shoes, so I can run fast. I’ll look for it in the goat map. I’ll spend half an hour searching the entire goat map. If I can’t find it, I’ll come back,” Zhang Shan said excitedly. 1
Right now, he was very interested in fighting a boss. Not only did he level up quickly, but the key was also that his equipment needed to be updated urgently, especially his weapons. He even had a novice musket. He could not tolerate it at all. What could be faster than fighting a boss with equipment? 1
“Quickly go and look for it. Once we find it, we’ll test its attributes first to see if we can beat it,” Thousand Miles Riding Alone said excitedly.
“Okay, I’ll leave first. Wish us good luck.”
Zhang Shan started running around the entire map. As long as he saw a red dot on the map, he would take a closer look. On the way, he also bumped into Storm of the World and Little Secretary.
Little Secretary: Why are you running around alone?
Zhang Shan: I am looking for a boss. If I can find one, I’ll call you guys.
Storm of the World: Okay, but if you see an orange one, don’t try. You definitely won’t be able to beat it.
“Understood.”
Time passed slowly. Other than Storm of the World and Little Secretary, he did not see any other players. It was possible that there were not many strong players in this novice village, and they had not leveled up yet.
Zhang Shan searched the entire goat map, but he did not see any sign of a boss. They were all identical to the demonized single-horned goat, and he did not see any other special monsters.
Could it be that there were no bosses on this map? That was impossible. Such a large map, it should not be. Zhang Shan kept thinking, wondering if he had missed anything.
