Killing monsters, leveling up, and getting loot-planning to loot the protagonists' golden fingers?
The Black Flame Demon Wolf that were killed by Ling Yi and his group have now turned into white light particles and disappeared.
But a few things were left behind in the same spot.
"In this magical world, all my skills are instantaneous!" This novel is set in a semi-digital world.
Rather than calling it a magical world, it's more like a game world.
Zheng Feng ran straight over, picked up a piece of equipment that looked like armor from the ground, and the next moment, a blue, semi-transparent window appeared in front of him.
The display shows Zheng Feng's information: Level 2, Health 120, Mana 20, Skills: None.
This is the attribute panel in a semi-digitalized state.
However, there are no backpacks, equipment slots, or anything like that; the descriptions are just a few simple ones.
"Wo Cao, Zheng Feng, how did you do that?" Guan Hu walked over and pointed to the data panel Levitation in front of Zheng Feng, asking.
"You can bring up the data panel by silently thinking about it. It's written in the original text. I tried it and it worked!" Zheng Feng said excitedly.
The others tried it immediately, and sure enough, a data panel appeared in front of everyone.
"Wait a minute, why is it that even though we both have 2 skills, Feng's HP is so much higher than mine?" Jiang Yue pointed to Feng Ziming's stats and then to her own, asking.
Feng Ziming has the highest health points at 160, followed by Zheng Feng with 120.
Everyone else, except Ling Yi, had a score of 105, including Jiang Wenshan.
Although Jiang Wenshan was National Special and Proficiency in Firearms, strictly speaking, he was not a Combat.
Zheng Feng explained, "It's obvious you didn't read this novel properly last night. The data panel is linked to an individual's physical fitness. Feng Ziming practices martial arts, so naturally his stats are higher than ours."
" Uncle, where's your data panel?" Feng Ziming asked Ling Yi.
Ling Yi didn't actually want to bring up his data panel, mainly because he was afraid of scaring everyone.
Seeing the curious looks on everyone's faces, Ling Yi shrugged. "Since you're looking for trouble, don't blame me."
The next moment, a semi-transparent blue interface appeared in front of Ling Yi.
Level 2, Health Points???, Magic Mage???, Skills???
Ling Yi was stunned for a moment; were they all question marks?
"No, what is this? Why are there so many question marks?" Feng Ziming asked, puzzled.
"As expected of Big Shot." Zheng Feng gasped.
What the heck is the question mark?
"The question mark indicates that Ling Yi's affiliation is beyond the scope of this Literary World's monitoring."
"Does that mean the Uncle is invincible?"
Ling Yi shook his head and said, "I wouldn't call myself invincible, but my situation is a bit special. Don't ask me the details; it's a secret."
"Let's check our haul first!" Ling Yi changed the subject before anyone could ask any more questions.
Thirteen Black Flame Demon Wolf dropped three pieces of equipment and two magic skill books.
All three pieces are First Tier basic equipment, and all of them increase health.
In this "magical world" Literary World, health points represent a person's total physical attributes.
Strength, defense, resistance, agility, reaction time, lifespan, etc.
A person's health points indicate their physical strength.
The other two magic skill books are both about Fireball, the most basic skill for Magic Mage.
"How should we allocate these equipment and skill books?" Jiang Yue asked.
Ling Yi waved his hand. "I don't need it. I have two options: roll the dice, which is fair to everyone, or prioritize assigning it to those with stronger combat abilities."
The group exchanged glances, all wanting the equipment and skill books, but none of them dared to ask.
The Protagonist characters all have very positive values.
But even the most righteous among them have their own selfish motives.
After all, if someone dies, they really die; that's no joke.
"Actually, you don't need to worry about this so much. This is just the beginning. You won't lack equipment or skills later; it's just a matter of timing," Jiang Wenshan said at this moment.
"Besides, with Big Shot like Ling Yi around, our safety shouldn't be a problem, right?"
Jiang Wenshan looked at Ling Yi and asked.
Ling Yi shrugged.
"Let's roll the dice!" Feng Ziming said.
"Does anyone have dice?" Zheng Feng asked.
Ling Yi waved his hand, and three dice appeared out of thin air, which he handed to Zheng Feng.
Zheng Feng took the dice with a strange expression. He really wanted to ask, " Uncle, are you Doraemon? How come you have everything?"
"Don't ask, it's a secret," Ling Yi said with a smile.
Zheng Feng rolled his eyes dramatically.
After Throwing, the three pieces of equipment and two skill books were quickly distributed.
Zheng Ming got a pair of shoes, Jiang Yue got a piece of armor, and Feng Ziming got a sword.
The skill books, however, ended up in the hands of the twin sisters.
"These mana points are used up way too quickly!" Yu Lan frowned as she looked at the skill description.
"One Fireball costs 10 mana points, and you can cast two Fireball," Yu Hong added.
Ling Yi waved his hand and said, "We can upgrade later. This is just the beginning. Let's go and continue our journey."
As they progressed, the group encountered Magical Beast more frequently.
However, so far, all the monsters we've encountered are still First Tier Magical Beast.
In half a day, everyone ran out of bullets, but they all leveled up to level 5, collected several pieces of basic equipment, and learned the Fireball.
Although they lost their guns, everyone's Combat increased.
First Tier Magical Beast rarely survive a single round of Fireball.
As time went on, the teamwork became increasingly seamless, and their Combat skills improved rapidly.
By then, it was already dark.
The group was resting in a clearing in the woods.
"What are we having for dinner? I'm so hungry," Yu Lan said, rubbing her stomach with a worried expression.
"We didn't bring any food?" Guan Hu was a bit chubby, but chubby people get hungry quickly.
"I didn't bring any food, not even any other personal items," Jiang Yue said with a wry smile.
" Uncle, do you have any ideas?" Feng Ziming asked Ling Yi.
Without wasting words, Ling Yi waved his hand, and a bunch of things appeared before everyone's eyes.
Pots and pans, gas stove, tent, flashlight, sleeping bag, bottled water, instant noodles, lamb rolls, and various vegetables and seasonings.
It has practically everything.
" Uncle, are you a cultivator? Do you have a storage ring?" Yu Lan asked in shock.
"Is Uncle finally dropping the act and coming clean?" Zheng Feng remarked.
"I think the Uncle has a system, doesn't he?"
"So the Uncle is the Protagonist, and we're all just supporting characters?" Song Haohan followed up.
No wonder he writes online novels; he can't stop talking about his profession.
Ling Yi didn't reply, but simply gave everyone a mysterious smile.
"Alright, everyone get to work. The men will set up the tents, and the women will cook. Any questions?" Jiang Wenshan clapped his hands and said.
After a flurry of activity, everyone quickly set up the tent.
As for dinner, it was hot pot, simple and convenient.
After finishing his meal, Zheng Feng suddenly spoke up, "I suddenly thought of something."
When Zheng Feng spoke, everyone looked at him.
"There must be quite a few Protagonist in the Literary World, right? Many Protagonist have system cheat codes. Do you think if we kill Protagonist, we'll unleash their cheat codes?"
Ling Yi's eyes lit up upon hearing Zheng Feng's words.
"You know what, you really think it's possible? If each of us had a cheat code, what would we have to fear from Assassin?"
"Aren't the Protagonist supposed to be on the Guard side? Is this really a good thing?" Yu Lan frowned.
" Protagonist also join the Assassin Faction, so we can just focus on eliminating those Protagonist."
"Can it really reveal the Protagonist's cheat ability?" Jiang Wenshan asked, but his eyes were fixed on Ling Yi.
Can it be revealed? Yes!
But there are conditions.
"Perhaps it's possible, but I suspect there will be conditions," Ling Yi said slowly.
"Don't forget, this Literary World is Fusion pot of tens of millions of Literary World, and each Literary World has its own unique rules."
"Take this 'magical world' for example, the Literary World area has semi-data-game-like rules, so you can kill targets and get loot, but not all Literary World areas follow these rules."
"Therefore, if we want to exploit the Protagonist's cheat abilities, the best place to do so is within this Literary World realm, which operates under semi-data-driven, gamified rules."
"Of course, I'm just saying it's possible."
It's not a possibility, it's a certainty, but Ling Yi naturally couldn't say that.
"Actually, all we need to do is keep getting stronger and then wait for the Assassin to come to us," Jiang Wenshan added.
"So, it's just an upgrade?" Feng Ziming said.
Everyone nodded; with a good start, everyone was now in a relaxed mood.
Here, there has been a huge deviation from the original storyline.
In the original storyline, although Jiang Wenshan also provided weapons for everyone, they were only pistols, and the number of bullets was extremely limited, with each person having only one magazine.
In the first Combat against the Black Flame Demon Wolf, the group nearly suffered a total wipeout because they lacked Combat experience due to it being their first time working together.
Yu Hong, one of the twin sisters, died in battle; Jiang Yue, who wrote female-oriented novels, died in battle; Song Haohan was seriously injured and died after enduring a day.
Guan Hu is missing an arm.
Only Zheng Feng, Jiang Wenshan, and Feng Ziming were completely unharmed.
The losses were devastating.
To bolster their Battle Power, Zheng Feng had to expend a great deal of Literary Qi to create invitations, inviting other authors to join their team.
However, the members who joined later were much less competent, engaging in all sorts of backstabbing and deception.
Some even defected to the Assassin Faction, becoming Assassin and causing heavy losses to the Protagonist group on multiple occasions.
However, it is precisely because of these life-and-death struggles, friendships, and betrayals that the plot is so captivating.
Unfortunately, this isn't a wish-fulfillment story; the plot leans towards the traditional.
As a result, this online novel did not perform very well.
After his return, Ling Yi will find a way to make this online novel popular.
In the Protagonist's team, there is always a fixed base but ever-changing teammates.
Only the first group of Protagonist was of the highest quality.
This is the main reason why the plot and the fates of these characters need to be changed.
Just as Ling Yi was lost in thought, Jiang Wenshan spoke up again, "I wonder who the leaders of the Guardian Faction and Assassin Faction are?"
"You want to capture the leader first?" Zheng Feng asked.
"On the battlefield, decapitation strikes are one of the most effective tactics," Jiang Wenshan nodded.
Ling Yi thought to himself, "They probably never dreamed that the leaders of the Guardian Faction and the Assassin Faction are actually the same person."
