After receiving the Monster Siege announcement, a subtle smile curled at Su Yu's lips.
Activating this Monster Siege was certainly not so he could kill the Wolf King again. The Wolf King only gave 1,000 experience points, and its drops would not improve him at all.
Su Yu wanted to use the facts to show the players cursing him on the forum that the Wolf King was not something players at this stage could kill.
He wanted to shut up those haters on the forum.
Su Yu would need to use this batch of equipment to recruit guild members in the future. If he did not do this now, those haters would definitely come over later to spew nonsense. That would be disgusting.
After finishing all this, he left Clear Wind Village's Wolf King Valley and returned to Novice Village No. 6.
Meanwhile, Clear Wind Village erupted into chaos.
After receiving the System Announcement, news that "a Monster Siege had appeared in Clear Wind Village" quickly spread through every Novice Village.
Players from across the entire server gathered once more, preparing to challenge this Monster Siege.
Major guilds such as Emperor Blood God Slayer, Skycutter Sword, and Muyun did not care about their reputations. They organized groups to enter Wolf King Valley, hoping to steal the Siege Boss.
However, the people assigned to steal it awkwardly discovered that they could not penetrate deep into Wolf King Valley at all. After walking only a few steps, they would be driven back by packs of wild wolves patrolling the valley and could only return to the village to defend it.
An hour later, Howling Moon Wolf King No. 2 led more than a hundred Wolf Cubs in an attack on Clear Wind Village.
Just as Su Yu had expected, the wolf pack launched a one-sided massacre against the players.
Howling Moon Wolf King No. 2 was, after all, a level 10 boss. The taunts of level 4 and 5 Defense Warriors had no effect on it whatsoever.
Thus, the Wolf King targeted the backline, slaughtering the fragile priests and mages.
The players wailed miserably as they were killed, turning into streaks of white light.
Meanwhile, the wolf pack kept winning, steadily advancing.
Half an hour later, every player 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 become unavailable for 48 hours. Players, please seek refuge in other villages!"
According to the descriptions of the last few players who had seen the Wolf King, Howling Moon Wolf King still had 46% of its health remaining when the Monster Siege ended!
After suffering such a huge setback, the mood on the forum immediately changed.
All the voices calling Su Yu a "thief" and "robber" vanished. The forum was filled with complaints:
"Howling Moon Wolf King is way too strong! When it runs, it looks like it's teleporting!"
"This Wolf King has no sense of fair play. It completely ignores Defense Warriors and specifically kills the backline. Who can take that?"
"And the Wolf King even has more than a dozen guards with it. Every single one is a level 10 boss! How could anyone possibly kill that?"
"I really want to know how the first Wolf King died. Who killed it?! The player who killed it must be insanely strong!"
"Could the first one have died to a bug?"
"Stop fucking fooling yourself with bugs! Have you even seen a bug after playing this game for so long?"
"Uh... actually, no."
By now, no one on the forum was cursing Su Yu anymore. Instead, everyone was curious: how exactly had the first Wolf King died? Who possessed such incredible ability?
Su Yu did not pay much attention to any of it.
After returning to Nolan Village, he immediately went to Wolf King Valley to train in seclusion.
Unless he reached level 10 this time, Su Yu did not intend to leave Wolf King Valley.
An hour and a half later, he received the announcement that Clear Wind Village had fallen. Snowflake also sent him a congratulatory message:
"Senior, the Siege Boss is so powerful! It directly destroyed Clear Wind Village! I don't think those haters on the forum will dare curse you anymore!"
Su Yu: "Naturally. 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 passing High-Level NPC gave me a buff."
Snowflake: "."
Snowflake: "There's something else. When do you plan to establish the Yellow Turban Army?"
Su Yu: "Wait a little longer. We'll talk once most players reach level 10."
Snowflake: "All right."
The two ended their private chat.
The main reason Su Yu wanted to establish a guild was to prepare for a core late-game feature—the Mage Tower.
As player levels rose, the number of wild monsters of the same level would grow smaller and smaller.
At the level of the level 84 Star Forger Dragon King, there were only twelve NPCs in the entire game stronger than the Dragon King. There would be no way to kill monsters to train.
As for doing quests, they gave very little experience.
Therefore, in the late game, mage classes had to build Mage Towers and pour vast quantities of magical beast materials into the core Magic Pool. Only by purifying and absorbing the magic within the Magic Pool could they level up.
Those magical beast materials were accumulated bit by bit by players, and the required quantity was enormous!
If Su Yu wanted to reach the pinnacle of power both inside and outside the game, he needed millions, perhaps even tens of millions, of players silently collecting materials for him.
Only by relying on the strength of all humanity could they build a top-tier powerhouse capable of contending with Skrull.
(This was also why Su Yu hated Skycutter Sword. Countless people had sacrificed themselves, and countless resources had been piled up to create a powerhouse, only for him to betray them? Unforgivable!)
Originally, Su Yu had planned to work with Guo Jia in the later stages, but now that he thought about it, he should first establish a guild and train a group of reliable subordinates.
Lost in his thoughts, Su Yu's hands did not stop moving as he continued slaughtering the Howling Moon Wolves in the valley.
At 7 p.m., Su Yu's experience bar finally filled up, and he reached level 10!
After reaching level 10, every online player received a system prompt:
"Ding! A player has been detected reaching level 10. The Level Ranking is now open!"
Upon hearing this system prompt, the bustling training zones in the major Novice Villages first fell silent, then erupted into an uproar:
"What? Someone actually reached level 10?! I've only just reached level 4!"
"I logged in early today, and I'm only level 5. Which big shot is this amazing?"
Players eagerly opened the Level Ranking in their system interface.
First: Kexing, 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 nearly went crazy:
"I kneel before the big shots! Even if I trained for a full 24 hours, I still wouldn't reach level 7!"
"Boss Kexing is forever the greatest! He's actually two levels ahead of second place!"
"Mages have such a hard time leveling early on. After casting a few spells, they run out of mana. How did Boss Kexing level up so quickly?"
"Boss Kexing is about to go to the main city, while I still have to stay in the Novice Village for several more days!"
"Comparing yourself to others really can kill you!"
Very quickly, screenshots of the Level Ranking spread from online to offline, and the Official Forum launched into a frenzied discussion over the image.
At the same time, Zhong Feng was browsing the Official Forum on his laptop while chewing on bread.
When he saw Su Yu's eye-catching "Level 10," he froze, and even the bread in his mouth no longer tasted good.
Before long, he received a message from his comrade Range is Truth:
"Old Zhong, did you see the Level Ranking?"
"I saw it."
"Any thoughts?"
"Not really. Senior Zhang Jiao is truly amazing!"
"Sigh! We need to find a way to catch up too! We modern people can't let an ancient person surpass us at playing games!"
"That'll be difficult! But don't get competitive about it either. Senior Zhang Jiao being strong is always a good thing for humanity."
"That's true."
