Necromancer chopping down trees

Chapter 159: Into the Woods
Most of the first day of the public beta has passed, and the players have walked out of the [Woodland Church] and arrived at the nearest [Woodland Town].

Only when you come here can you truly open the [Northern Woodlands] map. Players at level 5 can also challenge stronger monsters.

Not only has the range of activities expanded to 20 times the size of the cathedral area, but more importantly, tens of thousands of players are no longer divided into parallel maps, but can explore the new map together.

"I'll trade the newly arrived level 5 green quality longsword for a bow of the same level."

"Backpacks, potions, and food are all for sale. They're even cheaper than the game merchants. They're essential for leveling up, so don't miss out."

"A team of four is missing one, let's level up together and kill monsters harmoniously."

When they arrived at the new town, it became lively as more people came. Players spontaneously traded items, exchanging unnecessary supplies for usable items, which made sense.

[Woodland Town] is several times smaller than [Free Town]. There are only a few wooden buildings here, and each building has only two floors at most.

In addition to the inn for players to rest, the town also has trainers for various professions, junior trainers for secondary professions, and merchants selling items.

However, these facilities require coins, and a level 5 player only has 2 silver coins at most, which is not enough.

Half of their money is spent on food and water for recovery, and they also have to save some money to prepare for level 6 skill learning, so making money has become the players' primary goal.

"One silver coin for one virtual currency, goods first, payment later, honest transaction."

"One virtual coin can buy several steaks. You are really mean. I will buy two silver coins."

"Thank you for your patronage."

In addition to using money to quickly obtain game coins, a more practical way for players is to kill monsters and sell materials to NPCs in exchange for money.

"We can't go on like this. There are so many people. It's hard enough for us to just guard one spawning point."

Another studio, Persia, also joined the game's public beta. The boss, Persia Zhen, led his group of output subordinates to kill monsters in a reasonable manner.

He started much slower this time and could only barely keep up with the main group.

"Damn it, I shouldn't have believed in technology. It's really deceptive."

Before the public beta test, Persia was contacted by the previous "Synchronizer" brother. That brother was targeted by the game system during the internal beta test and had no way to obtain the mission items.

So during the break, Tech Guy did not forget his original intention, and devoted himself to researching stronger plug-ins. He also approached Persia, whom he had met once before, and offered free technology as an inducement, so that Persia could experience the pain of having his account blocked for half a day.

"Invincibility, unlimited skills, fake synchronizers, light speed running, flying gears, all of them are useless. I will definitely not use crooked ideas next time."

The price of not being able to surpass the main force is inefficient leveling. Fortunately, in order to increase the level this time, Persia has replaced all members with mages, hoping to pass on the monster-killing spirit of "Synchronizer" brother.

Although he was granted the title before he could accomplish his mission, it did not affect Persia's ambitions.

They are now at [Tranquil Lake], and there are level 5-6 [Woodland Wolves] beside the lake. The monsters spawn very quickly, which is several times faster than running around to complete quests.

Before long, the Persian team had reached level 6. They all returned to the town to clean up their packages and learn new skills to make the upgrade more efficient.

"Boss, look, there seem to be a lot of players gathered over there."

"Don't look at everything. Our mission today is to reach level 10. Otherwise, no one will be able to sleep."

The circle inside and outside was tightly surrounded, and Persia couldn't see what the players were surrounding from the outside.

He remembered that it was an empty space and there should be no NPCs there.

"I'm telling you, the rewards given by this NPC named William are really good, but you still don't believe me."

"Hehe, now we don't have to go to the lake to rob wild wolves. There are so many fishmen that we can kill them at will."

"William?"

Of course, Persia did not forget Wang Yue's name. During the internal test, he followed Wang Yue all the way and finally witnessed the ending of the NPC slaying the dragon and eradicating evil.

If it was him who showed up here, then Persia would really want to take the time to meet him.

"You guys go buy supplies first, I'll take a look and come back."

"Just now he said that I couldn't watch it, but now I'm watching it myself. The boss really has double standards."

"Shut up, you still want the bonus? Go buy the boss's share too."

Persia pushed through the crowd and squeezed to the front.

The man in front of him was both familiar and unfamiliar. What was familiar was Wang Yue’s arrogant demeanor, while what was unfamiliar was his wild leather outfit and new weapon.

"Chaos is coming, and I need brave people to help me eliminate the unrest."

"I, I, leave the task to me."

"I can. You see I look so uneasy, so you have to let me eradicate it."

Persia looked at the players who raised their hands. Although he didn't understand why the players did so, he also learned to actively recommend himself.

"Well, I see your ambition."

Wang Yue tapped her fingers in her sleeves and selected a few players she liked to give them tasks.

[Mission Objective: Clear the Murlocs from the Tranquil Coast (0/20)]

[Quest Reward: Wooden Weapons]

The wooden weapons are of course of excellent quality. The materials used are low-level wood that Wang Yue obtained when he chopped down trees along the way. The original first-level wood can only be used to make equipment above level 10, so he does not have many places for the mission.

Wang Yue just wanted to distribute them in batches so that they could stay in the town for a while longer and become more familiar to the players.

But he didn't expect that the fewer people could get the task, the more popular it would be. Wang Yue's batch distribution of tasks was no different from monster hunting in the eyes of players. Only luck and patience could get green quality weapons.

"That's a weapon. If a warrior can get it, he can easily defeat monsters below level 10."

"An ordinary level 5 weapon has an attack of +2, while my wooden axe has an attack of +5, which is equivalent to doubling the damage."

Persia, who got the task inexplicably, was of course happy, but when he thought of his brothers who did not receive the task, he immediately sent a message to call all the brothers who were purchasing to the [open space in the town].

"Everyone, get to the front and actively accept the missions. Then we will kill the damn fishman quickly."

It is of course a good thing that the players are motivated, but the props made by Wang Yue are not enough to complete the tasks.

There was really no other way, so he could only ask Finco to bring back the cut down trees and make a batch of props on the spot.

"Finko, come back soon."

The slave mark on the werewolf Finko's head appeared and then disappeared immediately. The brief pain became a signal and also a way of communicating with Wang Yue.

For some reason, after his relationship with Wang Yue improved, the slave contract on the werewolf no longer caused obvious harm to Finke, and the dizziness and tingling at the beginning never appeared again.

"Sir, the materials you requested have arrived."

Ten bundles of [Woodland Arbors] appeared on the road, covered in smoke and dust, and a silver light descended from the sky, causing the players to scatter.

The place where Wang Yue was now was replaced by a wooden house with a sign "Wait a moment" hanging on the door.

The trees that Finke brought suddenly disappeared from the road and all went into Wang Yue's backpack.

"Intermediate carpentry, elementary wooden weapons."

Wang Yue started making props, preparing upgraded tools for the hungry players.
