Chapter 14: The Extremely Confident Human Players

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Both sides were busy planning for the upcoming battle.

However, the players encountered a problem first.

“What? You want two silver coins for such a lousy sword?!” Cong Xue roared at the only blacksmith with a 3-5 attack iron sword.

But the blacksmith didn’t even look up. “Buy if you want. If not, get out!”

The NPC villagers were also natives of this world. However, after the world was forcefully gameized and digitized, they were forced to become NPCs who served the players. Regarding this, these natives were very resentful.

After all, no one wanted their home to become someone else’s playground.

Therefore, the NPCs naturally did not give the players any face. However, due to the hard rules of the system, they did what they had to do. It was not difficult for the players, and they did not want to talk nonsense with the players.

Cong Xue did not expect this NPC to be so irritable. It was completely different from the games she had played in the past. She could not help but mutter, “Good lord, this NPC is so smart…”

Soon everyone gathered.

The four major guilds were in charge of money management: Shang Han of New Peace Alliance, Luo Beibei of World Guild, Wang Mingchen of United Pavilion, and Wang Meng of The Convention.

Wang Meng said, “It’s too expensive. A Level 1 whiteboard iron sword is only two silver coins. At this rate, a player can only buy a whiteboard-level set after completing all the missions. Each piece of equipment is only one point more than the equipment given by the system. The total attributes can only increase by eight points! It’s not enough at all.”

Shang Han said, “Then we’ll buy higher-quality equipment. I’ve seen it. There’s enhanced equipment for sale in the store. The attributes are twice as high as the whiteboard. In the full set, it can increase 16 fixed attributes and 1 random attribute. Together, it’s a total of 20 attributes. The focus is on the existence of random attributes. It allows us to draw some equipment with high defense or high attack.”

Luo Beibei said, “If we all use whiteboard equipment, we can all change into it. If we buy blue enhanced equipment, it will cost three times as much as the whiteboard. That way, we can buy 2,000 sets at most. That means we can arm 2,000 people at most.”

Wang Mingchen said, “It’s more important to have quality than quantity. If these 2,000 people can kill the rabbits, not only can we level up, but we can also achieve an economic cycle and upgrade our equipment. The equipment we obtain can arm more people. This is a virtuous cycle. It’s better than buying equipment and still not being able to defeat the rabbits.”

Wang Meng said, “It’s a pity that I don’t have any scouting skills. Otherwise, I would know the attributes of the rabbits and be able to buy equipment targeted at them.”

Everyone agreed. But no meant no. There was no point in dwelling on it.

Then, they found the players who were good at fighting and started shopping crazily in the blacksmith shop.

As a large number of blue-quality Level 1 equipment were purchased, Wang Mingchen quickly discovered some small tricks to purchase them.

Blue-quality equipment generally had a fixed attribute.

For example, for clothes, armor +4 was fixed. The enhanced attribute was a random 1-point attribute.

When a player’s strength was the lowest among all attributes, the equipment they bought would basically increase their strength.

In other words, this equipment was making up for the shortcomings of the player’s attributes.

Therefore, Wang Mingchen immediately found two players. One was weak in strength, and the other was weak in physique.

As expected, the equipment dropped was a set that increased attack and defense.

They were buying and distributing equipment in a flurry of activity. On the other side, Yi Zheng looked at the sky. The sun was setting in the west and it was almost dark.

Looking in the direction of the Beginner’s Village, he felt a little uneasy.

At this moment, a snake head came up to Yi Zheng. “Rabbit Boss, aren’t you talking too directly? Are you beating around the bush?”

Yi Zheng turned around and saw Snake King hanging from a tree and poking his head down.

Yi Zheng raised his eyebrows. “Can you understand anything that goes around a little?”

The Snake King chuckled. “Of course I understand. As a snake, I prefer to play dirty.”

Yi Zheng’s eyes lit up. He waved at the snake and said something in a low voice. After that, Yi Zheng said, “Well done. I’ll set up a separate hall for you. How about that?”

If it were in the past, the Snake King would definitely beat him up. After all, he was already the Snake King, the king of a clan. How could he care about anything? But it was different now. The grassland was almost destroyed by this rabbit. It could be said that chickens could not live and pigs could not dig into the ground.

This rabbit was the king of the Beginner’s Village. Being a hall master meant that he was below the rabbit but above 10,000 people.

The Snake King was tempted. “Don’t worry, I’m good at what you’re talking about. Besides, I like it too. Hehe… wait for the news! However, you have to give me some of my subordinates. They’re all being used as whips, reins, and jump ropes by your rabbits. Also, give me a few of your nunchucks, ahem, I mean, the gophers.”

Yi Zheng said, “Find them yourself. Tell them I gave you the authority.”

The Snake King immediately ran away happily.

Not long after, on the green grassland, somewhere hidden outside the Beginner’s Village, a hissing sound sounded…

“Shut up and retract your tongues! Don’t move at all!” the Snake King berated in a low voice.

The snakes immediately withdrew their tongues.

The Snake King looked at the distance and saw that it was about time. “Gophers, dig a hole in the ground and hide in it! We’re the hidden sentries, understand? Keep an eye on the humans. No matter what they do, report the situation first!”

“Yes!” The snakes and gophers obeyed simultaneously.

The gophers that followed immediately started digging…

Before long, the green grassland was completely calm again. There was no more noise.

As the sun set and night fell, the entire grassland fell into darkness!

…

Cong Xue walked out of the crowd. At this moment, she was wearing blue equipment that increased her agility. Her ponytail swung behind her, making her look heroic.

There were 50 players like her. There weren’t many, but they were all agile. They ran like the wind.

Cong Xue looked at Zeng Shao, Fang Ling, and the others.

Fang Ling nodded slightly and said, “Cong Xue, it’s up to you. Know yourself and your enemy, and you’ll win every battle. The information from the rabbit is very important.”

“Don’t worry, President,” Cong Xue said confidently. “They’re a bunch of rabbits. They’re good at fighting, but their brains might not work.”

Young Master Zeng also said, “You’re all wearing Agility equipment, and your Agility is maxed out at 10 points. Together with the 4 points provided by the equipment and the 4 points provided by the shoes, you have a total of 18 points of Agility.

This time, they were only investigating the movements of the rabbits. After taking a look from afar, they turned around and ran. Not to mention that those rabbits couldn’t discover you, even if they did, they wouldn’t be able to do anything to you.”

Yue Wei grinned. “This time, we are fully prepared. It will definitely work!”

Cong Xue smiled back and tilted her head back proudly. “Watching without fighting won’t be a problem. After all, those rabbits don’t look very smart. We can play them to death with our brains!”
