Six hours to earn a thousand Doomsday Coins; it would be a difficult task for an ordinary player, but for Song Jian, it was just a bit troublesome;
Not to mention the blue jade necklace that he had already mailed to Count Qian Dahai, he could earn a thousand Doomsday Coins from its reward alone. Even if Song Jian were to go and gather wood and stone materials to sell now, he would probably earn enough Doomsday Coins in six hours;
He didn’t know when the reward from Count Qian Dahai would be mailed, so Song Jian could only choose to gather wood and stone materials to earn a thousand Doomsday Coins;
When he arrived at the small forest in the novice area, Song Jian was shocked by the sight in front of him. There were three or four people standing next to each large tree, surrounding it tightly. The number of players in the forest far exceeded the number of trees, and even by the rocks, there were several people gathering wood and stone materials with stone axes and pickaxes;
Fortunately, these players seemed to be newcomers who just entered the game, and they didn’t have many stone axes and pickaxes. After they were used and scrapped, they left, but their positions were quickly filled by other players;
“There are too many wolves and not enough meat. Even if these players have low Chopping and Mining Skills, all the trees and rocks here will be gathered in one or two hours,” Song Jian shook his head and summoned a motorcycle, driving toward the highway;
As a Level 10 player, if he were to compete with others here, he would definitely be despised. Moreover, if he competed like this, he wouldn’t be able to gather enough materials to sell within six hours;
These novice players were low-level and weak, so they could only gather in this small forest. If they moved further away, they wouldn’t be able to. But the further away they went, the better the resources they would gather. However, the further away they went, the higher the level and strength of the monsters would be, and careless players could lose their lives, which was too dangerous for these newcomers;
Song Jian’s target was the forest where he had encountered the tree spirits before. Not only was the area of that forest much larger than the one in the novice area, but the amount of wood produced from each large tree there was also several times that of the novice area’s forest.
Although it was somewhat dangerous, Song Jian wanted to hunt more “Tree Spirit Seedlings” to sell to other NPCs outside of the Zombie City using the radio;
Upon arriving at the forest, Song Jian found that there were already people gathering wood materials in it, and it looked like a team;
“Brother, there are powerful monsters in this forest. You must be very careful when entering. If you’re weak, don’t come in!” A middle-aged man in his thirties or forties shouted out upon seeing Song Jian;
If Song Jian had come here for the first time, he would have thought that this player was afraid of others competing with them for wood materials and was trying to deceive him. But since he had been here before and knew the situation, Song Jian knew that the man was just trying to be helpful;
The tree spirits here were not something ordinary people could handle. Song Jian looked up and saw that the levels of the people currently gathering wood in the forest had already reached Level 5;
“Big Strong, why bother with him? Let him gather if he wants. If he gets killed by the tree spirits, we can just retrieve his body and benefit doubly!” A teenager beside him who appeared to be 17 or 18 years old complained;
“Don’t talk nonsense, Wang Bo. Don’t you know that dying in the game will also lead to death in the real world?” A girl in a white robe wearing a serious expression scolded Wang Bo;
Wang Bo pouted with a don’t-care expression and looked up at Song Jian;
“Holy shit, Level 10, he’s a pro!” Wang Bo suddenly shouted;
When the others heard Wang Bo’s shout, they were shocked, and at the same time looked up at Song Jian. By now, he had walked to the edge of the forest and greeted them with a smile;
“Hello, everyone. 1 came here to hunt a few tree spirits. You guys can gather as you please. Don’t worry about me!” Song Jian waved and said.
Although the gathering efficiency here was much higher compared to the novice gathering area, it was still not as good as hunting the tree spirits. The amount of wood Song Jian would get from hunting a single tree spirit would be equal to the amount they would get from gathering five or six trees, and his speed would be much faster;
“Brother, please be careful. The tree spirits here are very difficult to deal with. Those mutated tree roots are so annoying!” Big Strong still couldn’t help but warn;
“It’s okay, it’s okay. You guys just keep gathering,” Song Jian said as he stepped into the depths of the forest;
When not attacking, the tree spirits looked no different than the other trees. It was only when a player entered their alert range and provoked them into attacking that their names and attributes would be displayed above their heads;
Seeing Song Jian entering the depths of the forest, the group of players gathering wood lost their focus and followed him after exchanging glances;
“Big Strong, how do you think that guy got to Level 10? It took me three or four days just to get from Level 4 to Level 5, and grinding monsters almost made me puke,” Wang Bo whispered behind Ge Dazhuang;
“How would I know? There are so many talented people in this game. Isn’t Sunflower Bar run by a player? I heard it’s a girl in her teens. Why don’t you ask how she opened that bar?” Ge Dazhuang replied grumpily;
“Although the tree spirits are only Level 5, they are very difficult to deal with. Even with several of us working together, we can barely kill one. We can’t handle more than that!” The girl in the white robe frowned and said;
“But the wood materials that the tree spirits drop are abundant, much better than gathering,” Wang Bo looked enviously at Song Jian’s retreating figure and said;
“That requires risking your life. Gathering at the edge might be slower, but it’s safer. At least it’s much better than the small forest near the novice area,” Ge Dazhuang knocked on Wang Bo’s head and said;
“Hey, look, a tree spirit is coming out. Wow, it’s so big. It’s much bigger than the ones we killed before. I wonder if he can handle it!” Wang Bo’s eyes brightened as he pointed to a struggling tree spirit emerging from the ground;
“It seems dangerous with so many mutated tree roots…” Ge Dazhuang frowned, his muscles tense and ready to run forward at any moment.
“Why bother with him? It would be better if he dies. I saw him come here on a motorcycle earlier…” Wang Bo snorted softly;
“Holy shit, look at his weapon! It’s unbelievable…” The girl in the white robe burst out a rude word, her face full of surprise;
“A rocket launcher? That’s too exaggerated! How is that possible?” Wang Bo’s eyes were about to pop out;
Boom-
There was a loud explosion in the depths of the forest. A tree spirit was blown in half, and five or six items emitting white light scattered around;
