He gestured for Li Yu to let go, and then stood up steadily while getting used to it. He then began to march in place and swing his arms, like an elderly person warming up in a square.
At this moment, the other body on the floor had also been successfully connected. Unlike the old professor's caution, after blinking a few times, that person "whooshed" up and then began...
Slap yourself in the face.
The professor instinctively reached out and shielded his student behind him, fearing that his beloved student would be indiscriminately attacked by the madman.
"Senior, are you there? Senior? Senior!"
Although his appearance and voice had changed significantly, just like Li Yu's "dullness," the old professor still had some suspicions about this person's inexplicable familiarity and excitement.
Furthermore, since the person kept referring to himself as "senior," he almost immediately deduced that this person was his other student Lü Yang.
The professor and Li Yu exchanged a glance, both seeing the helplessness in each other's eyes.
Li Yu took two steps forward and grabbed the arm of the [ Backstabbing Expert ]:
"Stop acting crazy, be normal."
"Oh, oh, oh, it's you, senior!"
[ Backstabbing Expert ] grabbed [ Dawn Ah ]'s arm with a backhand. His initial strength attribute should be quite high, and [ Dawn Ah ] couldn't break free for a moment.
"Senior, this is amazing! I'm going to be your underling for life! From now on, all your presentation slides..."
"Cough cough."
Li Yu sensed that if he let him continue, things would get very bad, but the cough that interrupted the conversation didn't come from him, but from behind him.
[ Dawn Ah ] felt a chill run down his spine, while [ Backstabbing Expert ] didn't seem to notice anything amiss, instead looking at [ Evergreen Tree ] two steps away:
"Dude, are you a new player too?"
[ Evergreen Tree ] nodded, and [ Backstabbing Expert ] had already stretched out his hand:
Let's add each other as friends. What's your name?
[ The Evergreen Tree ] reached out and grasped his hand, gently shaking it twice:
Just call me Li Yinhua.
"Okay, Li Yin..."
[ Backstabbing Expert ] Something feels off. This name sounds familiar; I think I've heard it somewhere before.
But where exactly did I hear that name?
He quickly remembered; it was on the professor's resume on the school's official website.
Haha, we're doomed.
Feeling a dryness in his throat, the [ Backstabbing Expert ] began to tremble. He tried to pull his hand back while greeting the attacker with trembling hands.
"Guide guide guide guide..."
"Stop directing, stop directing."
[ Dawn Ah ] couldn't stand it any longer and chose to intervene:
"There were originally two activation codes. This game is so valuable, it's a good thing for us professionals. I can't just give one to you and not to my advisor, right?"
"Alright, stop fooling around."
Even in another world and another body, the professor rightfully took the power of discourse from his students:
Let's talk about what we should do now.
[ Dawn Ah ] was prepared for this and immediately went into reporting mode for the group meeting. Except for the absence of a corresponding PPT behind him, everything was no different from reality.
"This game offers an exceptionally high degree of freedom; in fact, we can do whatever we want."
"But if you want to play step by step, you should complete the beginner tasks first."
"This task isn't mandatory, but completing it will reward you with starting funds and some items, which will make everything easier."
[ Dawn Ah ] looked at the two who seemed lost in thought and continued:
"You can tell me your basic attributes, like giving the last few digits of your phone number, and I'll see if there are any tasks that are suitable for us to do together."
[ Evergreen Tree ]: "Mine is 4376."
[ Backstabbing Expert ]: "Number ending in 7652."
[ Dawn Ah ] looked at the two of them with some surprise. Their mentor, [ Evergreen Tree ], was quite old in real life, but they didn't expect that the random attribute he received would be such a high physique.
[ Backstabbing Expert ] allocates most of his points to Strength, Agility, and Constitution, making him a multi-faceted warrior in terms of physical attributes.
Since that's the case, it doesn't seem like there's any problem with everyone hunting together. After all, as a player who personally turned over the ground during the newbie quests, [ Dawn Ah ] knows that such repetitive movements won't trap his junior.
So he said to the two of them:
"Everyone's basic attributes are fairly balanced, with no one being particularly weak in any area. So why don't we all go hunting together? If we're lucky, we'll soon have two prey to help you complete the mission."
In this unknown world, the two new players naturally listened to the advice of their senior, [ Dawn Ah ], so the three of them grabbed their standard tool sets and left the castle to hunt in the wilderness.
Thanks to the players' previous efforts, there are far fewer monsters in the wilderness than before, but the same few common animal or plant-type Aberration are still widely distributed around the castle, though they pose less of a threat.
The three walked across the open field. [ Evergreen Tree ] carefully memorized everything around him. As an old professor who knew a little about everything, he actually wanted to draw a map.
[ Dawn Ah ] seemed to have read his mind and immediately brought up the map on the player panel for the teacher. After observing carefully for a moment, [ Evergreen Tree ] also concluded that the terrain here was similar to a "delta".
Today's weather is quite unusual. Li Yu could roughly guess that the World of Disorder had experienced a heavy rain last night, which made the wilderness Vitality today. Not only could one see newly Deadwood Vine waving their branches, but also several more common animals than usual.
Unfortunately, the teacher was too old, and the junior's willpower was only 2 points, making him seem like a cripple. So, in the end, [ Dawn Ah ] turned his hunting spear towards the Vine Sheep, which was the top food item on the players' must-eat list.
However, the open fields were muddier than usual after the rain, and the hunt did not go as smoothly as usual.
A dozen minutes later, they finally found a Vine Sheep that looked sickly.
Clearly, sickly prey does not arouse the hunters' sympathy. After their spear throws went astray, the three began to hunt using the oldest human pursuit tactics, making it look as if they were on the African savanna.
Aside from the three with relatively high willpower, the [ Backstabbing Expert ] had explosive power stronger than the average newbie. He rushed out in one stride, blocking the Vine Sheep's last escape route, and then captured it on the spot.
The two people not far away rushed over, only to find that their junior was still standing in the same spot, seemingly attracted by something.
"What's wrong?"
"[ Dawn Ah," who had rushed over, asked.
"Senior, I don't think this sheep is sick."
