You'll become a god, you'll create Earth ONLINE

"Fourth brother, this axe is practically made for you."

Zhao Lei patted Su Hao on the shoulder, a hint of excitement flashing in his eyes.

"The equipment requires 6 points of strength. You're the only one in our dorm who has reached level 2. No one else can really wield this weapon except you."

Su Hao gripped the fire axe tightly and glanced outside the door.

The sound of banging on the door continued.

But at this moment, to Su Hao and the others, those notes were no longer death knells.

That's experience! That's equipment! That's source energy and gold coins beckoning to them!

My mindset underwent a complete transformation at that moment.

In this damn data-driven world, blindly defending will only lead to a slow, hopeless descent into despair.

Only by taking the initiative and using the system's rules to relentlessly farm monsters and plunder resources can you grow stronger like a snowball rolling downhill!

This is the true nature of the Fourth Calamity!

"Brothers."

Su Hao turned around, holding the thug's fire axe that radiated a chilling light, a fanatical flame flickering in his eyes.

He looked at Chen Fei and Zhao Lei.

Zhao Lei silently walked to the bedside, removed one of the solid wood bed legs from the iron frame bed, and weighed it in his hand.

Chen Fei then skillfully went to Wang Pangzi's cabinet and pulled out a small fruit knife he usually used to peel apples. Although it wasn't high quality, it was still better than empty-handed.

"Same as always, Fatty will shine the flashlight from behind."

Su Hao's lips curled into an extremely cruel smile as he pointed to the rickety wooden door.

"Boss, move the table."

"I think that crack in the door... can be opened a little wider."

Zhao Lei swallowed hard, looking at the dark red fire axe in Su Hao's hand, and then at Su Hao's face, which looked somewhat crazy in the dim light of the flashlight due to extreme excitement.

"Fourth brother, are you sure?" Zhao Lei felt his calves starting to cramp again.

"What if we let seven or eight in? We don't have any area-of-effect attacks."

"Don't worry, there's a table blocking the door; at most, two people can squeeze in side by side."

Su Hao tossed the heavy axe in one hand.

"Fortune favors the bold. The monsters outside definitely won't spawn indefinitely. The more we kill, the safer we'll be in the corridor."

"Boss, listen to Fourth Brother!"

Chen Fei was fanning the flames from the sidelines, holding a small apple-peeling knife in his hand. Although it was pitifully short, it was still a useful tool.

"We were on the defensive just now, but now we're taking the initiative! We're opening up the game!"

"Fine! Let me die then!"

Zhao Lei gritted his teeth and gripped the edge of the metal desk with both hands.

"I'll count to three, Fatty, keep the flashlight beam steady, don't waver! Third and Fourth, get ready to serve the customers!"

"one!"

"two!"

"Three! Open!"

"Garara—"

With a screeching sound, the desk was suddenly pulled back nearly thirty centimeters.

The gap in the door, which was originally ten centimeters, suddenly widened!

The mutated rats outside, already driven mad by the smell of blood, surged in like a flood bursting its banks.

"Squeak squeak squeak!"

The two mice running in the lead were noticeably larger than the others, and their carapaces gleamed with a nauseating sheen.

They rushed in one after the other through the widened crack in the door.

However, what awaited them was no longer the scraping of brooms and clotheslines.

Instead, it was a dark red, crescent-shaped afterimage carrying an aura of death!

"Die!"

Su Hao gripped the fire axe tightly with both hands, exerted his strength from his waist, and with the full power of [Strength: 6], delivered an extremely brutal upward slash to the first rat that pounced in mid-air!

"Pfft—!"

There was no crisp sound of bones breaking, only the dull sound of a sharp blade cutting through leather.

The "armor-piercing" property of the Bloodstained Thug Fire Axe is on full display at this moment.

The mutated rat's hard shell, capable of smashing through wooden doors, was like a hot block of tofu in front of a sharp axe blade.

A single axe blow cleaved through his jaw and out the back of his head!

"-38!" (Fatal hit!)

The rat's health bar didn't even have time to flash before it was instantly emptied.

But this is not over yet!

The immense inertia caused Su Hao's body to rotate slightly, and he swung the axe downwards, using its weight to smash into the second rat that was following closely behind.

"Bang!"

"-22!"

The second mouse was slammed to the floor. Although it didn't die, the [Heavy Strike] ability triggered a knockback effect.

It was smashed so hard that it slid back half a meter, crashed into the door frame, and froze briefly.

"The third brother finishes the job!"

Su Hao roared and quickly sheathed his axe, preparing to face the next wave.

"Hey bro, you're here!"

Chen Fei slid forward and stabbed the fruit knife in his hand with extreme precision into the rat's open mouth.

Stir, pull.

Another blue light dissipated.

[Experience points +15]

[Experience points +15]

"Holy crap..."

Wang Pangzi, who was hiding in the back holding a flashlight, had his two small eyes wide open and his mouth so wide that a light bulb could fit inside.

Even the eldest brother, Zhao Lei, was dumbfounded.

The four of them had to exert tremendous effort, pressing, poking, and smashing, to barely kill one of them.

What now?

After equipping the green gear, Su Hao was practically a god of war descended to earth. One axe stroke and he was gone; cutting down these Lv.2 mutated rats was as easy as chopping vegetables.

"What are you waiting for! Keep playing!"

Su Hao flicked the green slime off the axe blade and turned to shout at Zhao Lei.

"Huh? Oh, oh, oh! Come on, serve the guests!"

Zhao Lei has completely let loose.

Fear? What is fear?

When your team has a carry who can consistently kill monsters in seconds, all that's left is the greed of those trying to steal experience!

For the next twenty minutes, an extremely bloody and tedious "monster-slaying assembly line" unfolded at the entrance of dormitory 404.

One by one, the mice outside the door squeezed in, and then one by one they turned into blue light.

The ground was even covered with a thin layer of [Source Energy Coins]. Occasionally, a few [Newbie Survival Blind Boxes] emitting a white light would also pop out.

As the last mouse fell to Su Hao's axe.

Outside the door, it finally became quiet.

The only sound was the whistling of the wind through the empty corridor.

"No...nothing's strange anymore?" Chen Fei peeked out the door.

The corridor was pitch black. When the flashlight beam shone out, the floor was covered with rat scratches and green bloodstains, but the little red eyes were nowhere to be seen.

"call--"

Su Hao let out a long breath, placed the heavy fire axe on the ground, and leaned against the wall, feeling his arms ache as if they were filled with lead.

Although the upgrade restored health, the high-intensity slashing was extremely taxing on stamina.

He glanced at the panel.

The experience bar has reached [Lv.2 (65/200)].

It's still more than halfway to reach level three.

"Hey, eldest brother, third brother, did you two get promoted?"

Su Hao asked, panting.

"You've been promoted!"
