Chapter 5: The tenth season begins!
The first floor of the Tower of God.
This is a rare safe area in the tower, and there are guards guarding the gate within the coverage area of the Novice Town.
As long as the player plans the upgrade progress reasonably and does not commit suicide, it is not too difficult to pass the first level.
At this time, most of the new players were crowded on the outskirts of the Novice Town, holding simple weapons and fighting for the few low-level monsters.
"Go away, I saw this rabbit first."
"Bullshit! Whoever strikes first gets it!"
"Hey, hey, sorry, I'll take the rabbit."
"F*ck!"
“…”
It's not uncommon to see monsters being snatched away.
This year marks the tenth anniversary, and there are tens of millions of places open for newcomers.
Although this is just a novice town in the East District, there are more than one million people pouring into it, so you can imagine the competitive pressure.
Su Bai was also shocked when he saw this scene.
Tower of God was just an unknown little game in his previous life. On weekdays, it was hard to even see wild players, let alone snatch monsters.
"But……"
Su Bai was a little puzzled and asked, "Why are you all surrounding the rabbit? Rabbits are so cute, how can you bear to kill them?"
How much experience points can a rabbit with no level mark have, and it doesn’t even drop copper coins.
He shrugged and prepared to slip away through the other side of the gate.
However, he was seen by his classmates who came with him.
"Hey Su Bai, don't go there, there's no guard there, it's a dangerous area!"
A boy wearing glasses reminded.
Unfortunately, as soon as he finished speaking, Su Bai had already stepped out of the door of Novice Town.
"Huh? Where's the danger zone?"
He turned his head in confusion.
Before the man with glasses could say anything, a level 1 wind snake that was originally wandering ten meters away suddenly shot towards Su Bai at lightning speed.
"quick……"
“Shua——”
Su Bai didn't even turn his head, he drew out the dagger at his waist and lifted it up.
The sharp dagger instantly split the wind snake into two. The residual force of the impact made the snake roll twice on the ground. The two halves of the wind snake's body "puffed" and turned into black mist.
"HP -20 (one hit will kill)."
"bite!"
A copper coin fell to the ground.
The man with glasses and the new players around him who saw this scene all widened their eyes.
What just happened?
How could such a long wind snake disappear in the blink of an eye?
Su Bai looked at the man with glasses with a puzzled look. The man swallowed and said, "That, that's a level 1 wind snake. How did you do it?"
"Well, it's not that difficult. Just do this and then this, that's all."
Su Bai casually demonstrated the action of drawing the sword just now.
“…”
"You'd better be careful and don't go over there. If the wind snake gets a critical hit, it can kill you instantly!"
The man with glasses kindly reminded him that he thought Su Bai was just lucky.
New players have simple equipment and low four-dimensional attributes, so they can easily encounter accidents in the wild.
In addition, Tower of God is not an online game, there is no such thing as resurrection, and the tolerance rate is frighteningly low.
Su Bai smiled and threw the copper coin he had just picked up over, and it landed accurately into the hands of the man with glasses.
Before the man with glasses could react, he turned around and waved goodbye.
"You are a good man."
Su Bai ignored the other party's advice and walked straight into the "danger zone".
This area is not within the attack range of the guards at the door, so if an accident occurs, the guards will not provide rescue.
Most new players will grab some small monsters at the door, or run errands in the town, and will go out to hunt monsters after reaching level two.
Su Bai walked in nonchalantly.
"If your kindness is taken for granted, you'll probably die in less than five minutes."
The new player next to him pouted and said this, but his eyes were staring enviously at the copper coins in the bespectacled man's hand.
He had just been guarding here for two hours and didn't get a single copper coin, but the other party just said a few words and easily got one .
Comparing yourself with others will really make you angry.
Su Bai quickly disappeared from their sight and headed deeper into the jungle.
The dense trees are like a primeval forest, and the bushes are half a person's height.
The wind snakes hide in these bushes, ready to attack passing players at any time.
“Whoosh!”
As soon as they entered the jungle, a wind snake shot towards Su Bai's handsome face like a galloping arrow.
There was no sign of fear on his face, he just turned his wrist slightly and stabbed upwards.
“Hiss—”
The wind snake was accurately stabbed by the dagger, its body pierced by the blade, and it struggled with a hissing sound for two seconds before exploding into a ball of black mist.
But this time no copper coins dropped.
"One strike will kill!"
A kill prompt flashed on the panel.
If the man with glasses and others were still there, their jaws would drop to the ground.
The difficulty of this kill is higher than the last time. It requires quick eyes, quick hands and accurate hits. If there is any mistake, the wind snake will bite Su Bai.
Only someone who is extremely confident in his or her fighting skills would do this.
Su Bai slowly lowered his wrist, his expression still calm.
This is a normal operation for him.
Although the wind snake is fast and has great lethality, it also has obvious shortcomings.
That means zero defense and very little health.
Even if a level 1 novice hits it, it is possible to kill with one hit.
“Experience +10!”
The progress bar for level 1 rose slightly.
Su Bai thought to himself.
"The experience point increase, the monster's action mode, the panel, everything is exactly the same as in the game. It seems that this is really the Tower of God!"
His eyes sparkled.
This means that all his gaming experience from his previous life can be utilized!
“Keep going!”
He continued to move into the jungle.
“Swoosh! Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!”
After walking a few steps, several wind snakes shot out from the bushes.
They are "traps" hidden nearby, which will rush out when passers-by walk by and attack the person's vital points.
For novice players, the wind snake is a fatal obstacle.
The best way to deal with it according to the strategy is to use shields to form a turtle formation. As long as you can withstand the first round of catapulting attacks, the speed and lethality of the wind snake's second attack will be greatly reduced.
There are very few people who walk in as swaggeringly as Su Bai.
However, the bloody scene did not happen. He just moved his feet slightly and raised the dagger in his hand to strike again.
“Swish, swish, swish!”
The dagger was used in many ways in his hand, flipping three times in one second, and the wind snakes were cut into two pieces one by one.
“Puff, puff, puff!”
There were several consecutive muffled sounds, and it was another fatal blow!
“Experience points +10!”
“Experience points +10!”
“…”
Experience value prompts sounded one after another.
"bite!"
Another copper coin fell on the bushes.
"Tsk, it's worthy of being the Tower of God, the drop rate is still so low."
Su Bai complained, then tiptoed and threw the copper coin high into the air, and it then fell into his small backpack.
At this moment, a shocking system announcement came to his ears.
[Announcement: The tenth season of Tower of God has officially begun. All first kill records in the novice zone have been refreshed. There are also rich first kill rewards waiting for you to claim. New players are welcome to actively participate and catch up with the predecessors! ]
