St. Gall City is a main city. If players want to level up, they can use the teleportation channels to go to various towns and villages. However, these villages can only help players level up to level 10. After level 10, they still need to level up outside the main city.

Lu Yang ran back to the safe zone. At this time, there were already many players in the safe zone. Players were constantly entering the game, and players were constantly teleporting to various towns to level up.

He arrived at Giant Town via the teleporter. The reason for the town's name is not because there are actual giants, but because the town is located at the junction of the plains and mountains. The nearby high mountains resemble giants when reflected in the sunset, hence the name.

When Lu Yang arrived here, the level 1 to 2 monster areas outside the town were already full of players. The vast plains were densely packed with people.

A level 1 horned deer that had just spawned didn't even have time to lower its head to eat grass before six or seven long knives were swung at it simultaneously. The horned deer "Yo~~" and died on the green grass.

As everyone hurriedly looked at their experience bars, one player suddenly jumped up excitedly and laughed loudly, saying, "The experience is mine, the experience is mine!"

Lu Yang chuckled. He remembered that this was the same scene from his previous life. The official Second World had thought that there would be many people playing the game, so they specifically opened 50 novice villages for each main city. However, they didn't expect that one million players would enter the game on the first day. Even if each main city had 50 novice villages, each village would still have to accommodate 20,000 people.

When designing Second World, in order to prevent players from easily reaching levels 100 or 200, the game's experience was calculated very precisely, making it very difficult to level up.

However, everyone who plays games knows that a level 10 player can kill a level 13 monster, but a level 0 player can barely kill a level 1 monster, and can barely kill a level 2 monster. Even with many people, they can't kill a level 3 monster.

The areas for level 1 and level 2 monsters are so small, and now most players are crammed into the level 1 monster area, while a small number of hardcore players have gone to the level 2 monster area, struggling to kill monsters in teams. The players were helpless, and the official was at a loss.

However, the more it was like this, the more interested the players became, because the charm of the game lies in this. In such a relatively fair environment, whoever is willing to put in more time, more effort, and has higher experience, awareness, and skills will be more powerful.

Lu Yang, in his previous life, was the same as these people, struggling to grab monsters in the crowd. However, now that Lu Yang has lived a lifetime again, he naturally doesn't need to do that again.

The purpose of coming to Giant Town is also because there is a bug here that allows you to kill monsters beyond your level, but before killing monsters, Lu Yang still needs to do one thing.

As a Mage player, what is the greatest sorrow? It's being poor!

Why are they poor? The vast majority of the reason is buying potions. Mages with good positioning don't need too many health potions, but even mages with good positioning lack mana.

In order to solve this problem, Mage players in the previous life made various efforts. Later, some players discovered a secret: outside the novice villages, there are some strange people. These people are not useless passers-by, but high-level NPCs who can teach players special skills.

For example, the chef Bredeman, located under a large tree by the moat at the entrance of Giant Town, always asks people for electric eel meat.

Many people have accepted this task, but no one can complete it, because they searched the bottom of the river but couldn't find electric eels. Later, someone found electric eels at the bottom of a river two kilometers away from the moat. After handing the electric eel meat to Bredeman, Bredeman actually gave that player a golden-level cooking recipe.

Crispy Electric Eel Meat, although it is only a level 0 cooking item, is golden-level. After use, it restores 200 points of health and 350 points of mana within 30 seconds, and after continuous use for 8 seconds, it grants a buff that increases intelligence by 5 points and restores 8 points of mana every 5 seconds, lasting for 1 hour.

For the mana-burning Mage players in the early stages, this is a very practical buff that allows Mages to still have a chance to kill monsters with too much health by relying on slow mana regeneration when they run out of mana in battle.

Once the strategy came out, there was an uproar, and countless novice players scrambled to do this task. Lu Yang remembers this task because he was also one of the countless scrambling players in his previous life.

Walking out of the gate of Giant Town, two fully armored swordsmen stood on both sides of the gate, and less than 20 meters in front of the gate, under a large tree, Lu Yang saw the chef Bredeman.

Looking at this chubby middle-aged man anxiously rubbing his hands while fishing by the river, Lu Yang walked to Bredeman and asked, "Sir, what are you doing?"

As if wanting to confide, Bredeman said excitedly, "Oh, dear, my beloved girlfriend is coming to my house for a date tomorrow and specifically asked to eat my best crispy electric eel meat, but, this damn electric eel, why did it disappear from the river? If anyone can help me find electric eel meat, I am willing to teach him how to make crispy electric eel meat."

Lu Yang said with a smile, "Sir, don't worry, I am an adventurer, let me help you."

Bredeman happily clasped his hands together and said, "Really, sir, can you really help me find electric eels?"

Lu Yang picked up the fishing spear next to Bredeman and said, "Of course there is no problem, wait for me here and don't move, I will definitely be back."

System prompt: You have accepted the commission of Chef Bredeman to find ten pieces of electric eel meat.

The game's simulation is full, fish are in the water, Lu Yang's primary fire spells cannot be used in the water, he can only use the fishing spear provided by the system.

After saying goodbye to Bredeman, Lu Yang ran towards the river bank about two kilometers away across the lake. Half an hour later, Lu Yang found a river.

System prompt: You have discovered the Lando River

There were originally level 1 murlocs by the river, but they had already been killed by the wolf-like players.

Lu Yang came to the small bridge by the river, and the surrounding players immediately became nervous, thinking that another person had come to grab monsters.

A warlock player frowned and said, "Friend, go somewhere else, there are already too many people grabbing monsters here."

Other players also complained, "That's right, we've taken over this place, please go somewhere else."

Lu Yang glanced at everyone, sneered, and was too lazy to talk nonsense with them, jumping directly into the river under the small bridge.

A gray bar appeared above Lu Yang's head, which is the time players can be active in the water, about two minutes. If this time is exceeded, the player will die directly.

In the selection of various death methods in the previous life, drowning firmly occupied the first place. Many people, because they didn't know, dedicated their first death to the suffocating method of drowning.
