The Second Monster Siege, Level Rankings Open

After receiving the announcement of the monster siege, Su Yu's lips curved into a subtle arc.

He hadn't activated this monster siege just to kill the Wolf King again. The Wolf King only gave 1000 experience points, and its drops offered no significant improvement for him.

Su Yu wanted to use this opportunity to prove to the players who had been cursing him on the forums that the Wolf King was not something players could defeat at this stage.

He wanted to shut up the trolls on the forum.

Su Yu planned to use this batch of equipment to recruit guild members later. If he didn't do this now, those trolls would surely come and spew venom then, which would be too disgusting.

After finishing everything, he left Wolf King Valley in Clear Wind Village and returned to Novice Village No. 6.

Meanwhile, Clear Wind Village was in an uproar.

Upon receiving the system announcement, the news that "Clear Wind Village is under monster siege" spread rapidly to all novice villages.

Players from all over the server gathered once again, preparing to challenge this monster siege.

Major guilds like Emperor Blood, Slaying Heaven, and Muyun, unconcerned with reputation, organized their forces and entered Wolf King Valley, intending to intercept the siege boss.

However, the personnel responsible for the interception discovered with embarrassment that they couldn't penetrate deep into Wolf King Valley. After just a few steps, they were repelled by the patrolling wolf packs within the valley, forcing them to retreat awkwardly and return to the village to defend.

An hour later, the second Howling Moon Wolf King, along with over a hundred of its wolf cubs, began their assault on Clear Wind Village.

As Su Yu had expected, the wolf pack launched a one-sided massacre against the players.

The second Howling Moon Wolf King was, after all, a level 10 boss. The Taunt skill used by level 4 or 5 defensive warriors was completely ineffective against it.

As a result, the Wolf King focused its attacks on the backline, slaughtering the fragile Priests and Mages.

Players were killed crying and screaming, with white lights appearing everywhere.

The wolf pack, meanwhile, achieved victory after victory, constantly pushing forward.

Half an hour later, all players in the game received a system announcement:

"Ding! Clear Wind Village has fallen under the attack of the Howling Moon Wolf King. Clear Wind Village will be unusable for 48 hours. Players are advised to seek refuge in other villages!"

According to the descriptions from the last few players who had seen the Wolf King, it still had 46% of its health remaining when the monster siege ended!

After such a significant setback, the atmosphere on the forums immediately shifted.

The voices that had been calling Su Yu a "thief" and a "robber" all disappeared, replaced by widespread complaints:

"The Howling Moon Wolf King is too strong! It moves like it's teleporting!"

"This Wolf King has no honor. It completely ignores defensive warriors and only targets the backline. Who can withstand that?"

"And this Wolf King brought over a dozen escorts, each of them a level 10 boss! How is it possible to kill them!"

"I really want to know how the first Wolf King died? Who killed it?! That player is too amazing!"

"Could the first one have died because of a bug?"

"Stop deceiving yourselves with bugs! You've been playing games for so long, have you ever seen a bug?"

"Uh, actually, no."

By now, there were no more complaints about Su Yu on the forums. Instead, everyone was curious: how exactly did the first Wolf King die? Who possessed such great power?

Su Yu paid little attention to all of this.

After returning to Nolan Village, he immediately headed to Wolf King Valley to level up in seclusion.

Su Yu decided not to leave Wolf King Valley until he reached level 10 this time.

An hour and a half later, he received the announcement of Clear Wind Village's fall, and Snowflake also sent her congratulations:

"Senior, the siege boss is really powerful! It directly destroyed Clear Wind Village! I think those trolls on the forum won't dare to criticize you anymore!"

Su Yu: "It's normal. Players at this stage can't deal with the Wolf King, I know that very well."

Snowflake: "Then how did you kill the Wolf King?"

Su Yu: "A high-level NPC who happened to pass by gave me a buff."

Snowflake: "."

Snowflake: "I have one more thing. When do you plan to form the Yellow Turban Army?"

Su Yu: "Let's wait a bit longer, until most players reach level 10."

Snowflake: "Alright."

The two ended their private chat.

The reason Su Yu wanted to form a guild was primarily to prepare for a core gameplay mechanic in the later stages of the game – the Mage Tower.

As players' levels increased, the number of wild monsters of the same level would gradually decrease.

By the level of the Star Forger Dragon King at level 84, there were only 12 NPCs in the entire game stronger than the Dragon King, making it impossible to level up by killing monsters.

As for completing quests, they offered very little experience.

Therefore, in the later stages of the game, Mage class players would have to build Mage Towers, investing large quantities of monster materials into the tower's core magic pool to purify and absorb the magic within to level up.

These monster materials were accumulated by players bit by bit, and the demand for them was not ordinary!

For Su Yu to reach the peak of his strength, both in-game and out-of-game, he needed millions, even tens of millions, of players silently supporting him by collecting materials behind him.

It takes the strength of the entire nation to build a top-tier powerhouse that can contend with the Skrulls.

(This is precisely why Su Yu hated the Skycutter Sword. A powerhouse built from the sacrifices of countless people and immense resources had actually betrayed them? Unforgivable!)

Su Yu had originally planned to cooperate with Guo Jia later on, but after thinking about it, he decided it was better to form a guild first and cultivate a group of reliable subordinates.

While lost in thought, Su Yu's hands didn't stop, and he continued slaughtering the Howling Moon Wolves in the valley.

At 7 PM, Su Yu's experience bar finally filled up, and he leveled up to 10!

Upon reaching level 10, all online players received a system notification:

"Ding! Detected a player reaching level 10, the level leaderboard has been opened!"

Hearing the system prompt, the bustling leveling areas of the major Novice Villages fell silent for a moment, then erupted in an uproar:

"What? Someone actually reached level 10?! I'm only level 4!"

"I logged in pretty early today, and I'm only level 5. Who is this absolute legend who's so awesome?"

Players scrambled to open the level leaderboard on the system interface.

First: Nemesis, Level 10, Mage.

Second: Thousand Cups Not Drunk, Level 8, Assassin.

Third: Emperor Blood God Slayer, Level 8, Warrior.

Fourth: Iced Tea, Level 7, Assassin.

Fifth: Cangshan Youjing, Level 7, Archer.

The players were practically going insane:

"I kneel before the legends! Even if I played for a full 24 hours, I wouldn't reach level 7!"

"Nemesis, the legend, is forever our god! They're two levels ahead of the second place!"

"Mages have it so tough leveling up early on. They run out of mana after casting a few spells. How did Nemesis level up so fast?"

"Nemesis is already heading to the main city, and I still have days to spend in the Novice Village!"

"Comparing yourself to others will kill you!"

Soon, screenshots of the level leaderboard were shared online, and the official forums were buzzing with frantic discussions about the image.

At the same time, Zhong Feng was browsing the official forums on his laptop while munching on bread.

Upon seeing Su Yu's glaring "Level 10," he froze, and the bread in his mouth suddenly lost its flavor.

Not long after, he received a message from his comrade, Range is Truth:

"Old Zhong, did you see the level leaderboard?"

"I saw it."

"What are your thoughts?"

"No particular thoughts. Elder Zhang Jiao is truly formidable!"

"Sigh! We need to find a way to catch up too! We modern people can't let an ancient person outdo us in playing games!"

"It's difficult! But don't get too caught up in comparison. Elder Zhang Jiao's strength is always a good thing for us humans."

"That's true."
