The developers still haven't forgiven the players.

"What do you mean by that?"

Brother Niu understood the subtext in his brother-in-law's words, which made him even more incredulous.

"Although I haven't tested it in detail yet, I can sense that leveling up in this game is not just about increasing strength and speed."

Tenka Fubu is now eager to find an opponent for a thrilling and satisfying battle.

The improvement in physical fitness from advancing three levels in a row was so significant that he was 100% certain it wasn't his imagination.

He has been obsessed with martial arts since childhood, and now he sees the possibility of verifying what he has learned, even if it is only in a game, it still excites him.

Unfortunately, he is currently the only player who has completed the upgrade on the open ground, so he can't find anyone to practice with.

Brother Niu looked around the room and said, "I heard that the first guy to upgrade only took half an hour. Judging by the time, everyone else should be close too."

Just as he said, before long, figures began to appear in the open space, meditating.

Without a doubt, these are players who are just one step away from leveling up.

However, the unification of the world did not generate much expectation for this.

For him, ordinary players who haven't received professional training, even if their strength matches or surpasses his, are not enough to satisfy his need to practice against him.

He then asked, "Weren't you killed by a monster in this game? Could you take me to see it?"

Clearly, this request put Brother Niu in a difficult position, as he didn't want to waste any more time waiting to be resurrected.

But since it was his brother-in-law who made the request, he explained, "Alright, I'll take you there in a bit, but you'll have to wait until I level up first."

"Then hurry up, I'll also get used to my current power."

"It's not like I can just say it'll be fast."

Brother Niu smiled wryly and continued to train.

……

As more and more players completed their upgrades, the atmosphere on the open ground became increasingly lively.

Especially when these upgraded players demonstrate their powerful abilities, it indirectly stimulates the desire of other players to upgrade.

They don't need supervision from others; they all consciously take on extra responsibilities.

"I've done it, Doggy!"

Dog Bro jumped up and burst into laughter.

"You bastard! What have you become?" Old Kuai's eyes were red.

As he watched the new players level up one after another, his grievances gradually accumulated, and he inevitably lost control of his emotions.

He believed he hadn't cut corners during the training process, so he couldn't understand why he, as one of the earliest players to cultivate the "Tiger Fiend Skill" and the one who spent the most time on it, was so confused.

Why is he the only one who can't level up?

Dog Brother was in a great mood after leveling up two levels, and he cheerfully comforted him, "Brother Kuai, I know you're in a hurry, but don't rush, maybe it's a case of accumulating strength for a future breakthrough."

Before Dog Bro could be happy for long, it seemed to trigger a chain reaction, with more players sitting down cross-legged on the spot.

In the blink of an eye, more than half of the players had completed the level-up. Several players, feeling the powerful force within them, were so excited that they pounded the ground with their fists.

It's like after an exam, students who got good grades like to get together and compare answers.

After completing the upgrade, the players, once they came to their senses, also gathered together to exchange tips and experiences.

From these players' conversations, we can understand that if there are no mistakes when circulating blood energy for the first time, most players can reach level two, with the only difference being the amount of experience points. There are only two players who directly reach level three, including Tianxia Buwu.

Brother Niu successfully leveled up to level two and chatted with a few players. He was a little curious: "Judging from the number of people, the probability of starting at level three is no more than one in five. We can't be sure what this level difference is related to yet."

Tianxia Buyu couldn't wait any longer: "The authorities will definitely provide an explanation for this. There's no need to speculate here. Now, take me to the place where you first died."

Perhaps it was the significant improvement in his physical fitness that gave Brother Niu confidence, and he didn't hesitate: "Come with me, let's get the first kill."

Without inviting any other players, the two walked together into the mountains.

However, before they could even step out of the tribe's gate, they ran into a group of valiant and robust men.

There were ten people in total, all dressed in dark blue animal skins and carrying longbows on their backs.

They either held stone axes or gripped bone swords.

Each person was full of vigor and sharp eyes, moving with the stride of a dragon and the gait of a tiger, exuding an overwhelming aura of wildness.

Brother Niu stopped instinctively, curiously observing the group of people who had suddenly appeared.

It's no exaggeration to say that any one of them put a heavy pressure on him, even though they weren't deliberately targeting him.

The group made no attempt to conceal their movements, quickly attracting the attention of the players present.

Not to mention those who had already leveled up, even the players who were still training temporarily stopped what they were doing after seeing this scene and surrounded the group of people.

"It shouldn't be a hostile monster, right? It doesn't even have a health bar."

"Hey, didn't you see the information in the group announcement? This game doesn't display health bars."

"Holy crap, so many new NPCs have arrived all at once?"

"They all look pretty fierce."

"Great warriors, please entrust this mission to me. I am willing to go through fire and water for you!"

"Leave it to me, leave it to me, I'm already a level two expert."

The players surrounded the group, shouting excitedly as they spoke.

From the moment players enter the game, the only NPC they encounter is Jiang Chen, who keeps repeating the same lines. Now that they've finally seen a new game character, they naturally won't miss any opportunity to accept a quest.

What the heck?

What are these frail-looking guys talking about?

Wasn't the Stream Stone Blood Clan wiped out?

Where did all these people come from? And why are they all so weak?

Shi Yan looked at everything in front of him, completely bewildered. He could only raise his hand and press down, saying, "Please be quiet for a moment."

Unfortunately, the players couldn't understand what he was saying at all. Instead, they became even more excited after confirming through his reactions that he was a game character they could communicate with.

A young man with a youthful face in the group frowned, his head aching from the noise the players were making: "Brother Shi, what should we do now?"

Shi Yan was also troubled by this: "Let's try asking them about their origins first."

"But these guys don't understand human language at all."

If you show malice, then you've simply made a show of it.

Given the overall strength of the players, even if they are outnumbered, they are confident that they can wipe out all the players without losing any of their own.

The players, however, did not show any aggression. They were very humble, and some even went so far as to kneel on the ground and kowtow.

This put them in a difficult position.

As fellow humans, it's not so easy to kill someone.
