King Meets King
After clearing away more than a dozen Peanut Tree, he picked up his sword and climbed the small earthen slope in front of him.
But the moment I reached the top of the earthen slope, I was shocked again!
Ahead lay a vast expanse of trees!
It's densely packed with these Peanut Tree. I'm not sure if this map existed before the Land of Revival, but these things must have sprouted from the ground overnight!
Otherwise, given the scale of this operation, the drones from the departments responsible for wilderness ecological surveys in both the Star Maple Federation and the Crimson Dragon Country should have discovered it long ago.
However, this sea of trees in front of me is definitely a good thing right now, it's exactly what I need to complete the quest!
"My darlings, I'm here~~~"
He let out a loud laugh, drew his sword, and charged into the sea of trees.
Don't think about anything else, just focus on killing monsters, I'm killing monsters!
And so, before they knew it, it was late at night.
It was 11 o'clock Lin Qingying to bed.
After cutting down a Peanut Tree, I took a deep breath, took out my phone, and sent her a message: "Xiaoying, is it almost time for you to go to bed?"
"Yes..."
She replied instantly, "I just washed my feet and went to bed. How about you? Are you doing well? Is it dangerous?"
"Not dangerous."
Under the cover of darkness, I snapped a picture of the outline of the fallen Peanut Tree and chuckled, "This time, it's a risk-free mission: chopping down trees. Hehe, just like the 'Seeking the Dao for Three Thousand,' you know what I mean..."
"I don't understand, but it looks interesting."
She sent a voice message, laughing, "Are you going to chop down trees all night?"
"Yes, a good lumberjack definitely has to work day and night."
I continued to entice my girlfriend, "To be honest, I'm almost falling in love with this feeling. Not only is there no risk, but the rewards are high. I wish every mission was like this."
Lin Qingying chuckled, "Then you keep cutting down trees, I need to go to sleep. There's a board meeting tomorrow morning to discuss the next expansion plan for Yue Ning Group, and I'm in charge of the PPT presentation, so I need to go to sleep now."
"Go to sleep."
I also said in voice message, "Goodnight, Xiaoying!"
She said goodnight and then went to sleep.
Instead of continuing to work, I plopped down on the tree trunk, pulled out a plate of fried rice and a bowl of pure mutton soup from my Dimensional Storage Space, quickly finished the fried rice, drank a large bowl of soup in one gulp, did some stretching exercises, and then picked up my sword to continue chopping down the tree!
This cut continued until the early hours of the next day.
At 4:30, the eastern sky began to lighten with the first hint of dawn!
Opening the task list, the 10,000 monster kills have already reached 5,400+. The diligent monster grinding has resulted in an absolutely terrifying record!
By this time, I had accumulated a lot of Experience Points, so I leveled up directly to level 65!
As for level 66, that's still a long way off. Take it slow; you can't get fat in one bite.
Just then, in the pitch-black wilderness, gunshots suddenly rang out in the distance. Looking as far as the eye could see, one could even see the flash of bullets leaving the barrel. Other players were also farming Peanut Tree!
The only difference is that I was using Power Sword to hack and slash, while my opponent was using a firearm!
I don't know if they're National Server or foreign players, I need to check. This is my farming area. As the saying goes, "How can I tolerate others snoring next to my bed?" If they're friendly players from the National Server, that's fine, but if they're foreign players, then it's a big problem!
Moreover, there are very few players in the entire server with a combat power level of 90,000. Many cities in the Crimson Dragon Country don't even have a single player like that. I really want to meet this person who uses firearms to farm monsters.
Then, draped in Night Cloak, he quickly disappeared into the night.
When it was only about 100 yards away from the opponent, it activated its Bio-Optical Invisibility, completely disappearing into the night, and then sped off in the direction of the opponent.
The night wind howled, masking the sound of my footsteps.
Soon, I spotted a figure in the wilderness. The person was clad in armor and carried Hellfire Explosive Gun that gleamed with a golden light. It used explosive bullets, each bullet dealing area-of-effect damage. It not only damaged Peanut Tree but also the insects hanging from the branches, so the overall damage was very high!
This is a clever person who has discovered such a way to quickly increase the Cordyceps Life.
In addition, the opponent's positioning was extremely exquisite, employing a "kiting" tactic. The moment the Peanut Tree approached, the opponent would activate their skills, either leaping or using Firepower Specialist skill to briefly immobilize the opponent for a few seconds, giving the caterpillar grass no chance to get close!
In the darkness, the other party's ID could be vaguely discerned.
Three Cups to the Great Way!
A strange name, but incredibly powerful!
This player is extremely well-known in the National Server and is hailed as the strongest Firepower Specialist in the National Server. Cai Cai can only be considered a first-tier player, and as for PangZi, he is at most a near-first-tier player above second-tier, and this near-first-tier status is supported by his equipment.
Standing in the wind, I quietly watched my opponent kill monsters.
"Um?"
Three Cups to the Great Way had a handsome appearance and seemed to have some kind of sixth sense. After shooting down a Peanut Tree, he suddenly turned around and looked in my direction, shouting, "Who?!"
In the instant he spoke, he quickly threw out two smoke grenades as cover.
"Hiss~~"
As the smoke rose, I emerged from it, carrying my Power Sword.
"Ahem, we're on the same side, don't be nervous."
"..."
He was taken aback when he saw the fiery red Power Sword in my hand, but then he saw my ID and immediately smiled.
"It's you, Ding Han! Damn, you scared me... What a coincidence!"
"It is indeed quite a coincidence."
I looked at his ID and said, "What should I call you, Three Cups?"
"Either is fine, three cups are okay too."
"Um."
I nodded. "You also took that S-rank quest to farm 10,000 Cordyceps Life Points?"
"Oh, you received it too?" He looked surprised.
"Yes."
It seems the system is relatively fair; as long as you have the ability to come here and see the Cordyceps Life, everyone gets a share.
Of course, this setting also creates a competitive relationship among players; if there aren't enough Peanut Tree, it can easily lead to player-versus-player combat.
That's just how the world is. Whether it's status, wealth, or women, when a certain resource becomes scarce, it will cause conflict.
This underlying logic shouldn't be overthought; thinking about it too much will only lead to terrifying realizations.
"Ding Han, want to team up?"
Three Cups to the Great Way said, "It's not that we have to do it together, but if we encounter danger, we can share our coordinates so we can help each other out."
"Can!"
I immediately sent an application to join the team.
So, we formed a two-person team in the wilderness of the Land of Revival.
Just after the two-person team was formed, a red dot sped towards them on the minimap at a very fast speed.
"Something has arrived!"
I frowned, and Three Cups to the Great Way noticed it too.
A few seconds later, accompanied by heavy footsteps, a figure appeared on the earthen slope not far away. It was a ferocious beast with its head protected by three leaves. The leaves were a thick layer of keratin that protected the beast's head. The shape of the leaves was very similar to the gourd leaves on the heads of the Calabash Brothers!
"The Gourd Baby Beast?"
Three Cups to the Great Way and I almost simultaneously uttered the names we had in mind.
The two of them then looked surprised, followed by a few cackling laughs.
On the earthen slope, the Gourd Baby Beast lowered its body and slowly walked towards us, letting out a low growl. It wasn't some Gourd Baby Beast at all; its real name was the Three-Leaf Beast, the Gold BOSS!
It's another ferocious beast from the warp, its body imbued with a warp-like biological shield, making it slightly troublesome.
"Roar~~~"
The Three-Leaf Beast roared angrily, spittle flying everywhere.
It was extremely arrogant, unaware that it was facing the top sword-wielding super weapon and Firepower Specialist in the National Server!
"Superior!"
I instinctively twirled my sword in a flourish, then charged forward, shouting, "I'll hold them off, you deal damage!"
OK!
The next moment, the Three-Leaf Beast let out a low roar, its huge head slamming down and crashing into the Glory Barrier. A heavy force immediately came, and it felt like I had been hit by a wild boar demon with a 100,000-year soul ring. I was forced to retreat backward, shield and all!
Three Cups to the Great Way opened fire, changed to Armor-piercing Round magazines, and quickly unleashed a burst of fire at the Three-Leaf Beast!
But he didn't aim for the head; instead, he aimed for the Three-Leaf Beast's forelegs. After firing a dozen or so bullets, the Three-Leaf Beast stumbled and fell headfirst into the mud.
A smart teammate doesn't choose to Headshot for a little extra damage, but instead uses their ranged attacks to help their teammates control the situation!
If only Cai Cai had the awareness of a top-tier player...
The task is arduous and the road ahead is long; let's take it one step at a time!
With a flash of sword light, I immediately Step Slash to the side and unleashed a combo on the Three-Leaf Beast's neck. Then, under the cover of fire from the Three Cups to the Great Way, I quickly retreated, looking for an opportunity to unleash another combo from the Three-Leaf Beast's left side, swiftly reducing the opponent's subspace creature shield's resilience by more than 50%!
"Pretty!"
With a shout of encouragement, Three Cups to the Great Way quickly aimed at the left eye of the Three-Leaf Beast, preventing it from attacking him directly.
I was dumbfounded.
This guy's awareness is really impressive. Almost every step he takes is for my sake. He doesn't care about causing harm at all and pursues the overall advantage of the team!
As a result, the Three-Leaf Beast's appearance and departure lasted only 45 seconds.
It's like a vengeful spirit; its brief appearance is solely to highlight the awesomeness of these two top players in the National Server...
"Snap!"
A golden box fell into the storage space and was opened directly.
Nothing special, just a Storm Core...
Hehehehehe!!
Three Cups to the Great Way's expression hardened, and he immediately shared the equipment's illustration in the Team Channel.
