"Red Name for killing players?"
Zhao Hanyan smiled and said, "I won't personally get my hands dirty. Just a few words from me, and countless players will rush in recklessly to help me."
"And..."
"You probably don't know, but NPCs in this game can kill players!"
As she spoke, she beckoned with her finger at the Burly Youth beside her.
The Burly Youth immediately stood in front of Zhao Hanyan and said in a deep voice, "I know you undead can respawn after death, so if anyone doesn't like it, come at me. I'll kill you without any psychological burden!"
Lovely Qingyue glanced at the smug Zhao Hanyan, then at the burly NPC, feeling very confused.
How did they find such an "obedient" NPC?
Of course, she didn't know what would happen if NPCs killed players, nor what happened if players killed NPCs.
Anyway, the bait was already set.
Lovely Qingyue instructed the players she recruited, "You'll still get your wages. Stop digging for today, you're done."
She said this while showing clear displeasure toward Zhao Hanyan.
"We'll see about that!"
Lovely Qingyue left angrily, leaving behind a harsh warning.
At that moment, a Level 10 Tiger Monster appeared, baring its claws and rushing toward Zhao Hanyan and the others.
Lovely Qingyue stopped to watch the scene.
But her expression quickly changed.
Beside Zhao Hanyan, the Burly Youth immediately noticed the sudden attack.
He shouted, "Looking for death!"
Sidestepping swiftly, he stood in front of Zhao Hanyan, raised both hands, and grabbed the Tiger Monster's forelimbs with perfect precision.
With the Tiger Monster's wails, a "slash" sound rang out!
The Level 10 Tiger Monster, over three times the size of a human, was torn apart!
Blood and entrails spilled everywhere!
Around them, players gaped in shock, stunned for a long time!
Terrifying!
This NPC was so powerful!
Bare-handed, it instantly killed a Level 10 Tiger Monster?!
Lovely Qingyue was equally dumbfounded, her heart filled with astonishment!
"No, I must tell my brother right away!"
She immediately left.
She had to tell Thousand-Faced Gentleman about this, so he would find a good NPC!
She didn't ask for the strongest in the world, just one as powerful as Zhao Hanyan's NPC!
Lovely Qingyue left, unaware that after killing the Tiger Monster, the Burly Youth NPC looked at Zhao Hanyan behind him and said, "Killing a Level 10 Tiger Monster for you—arrange a woman for me, as we agreed!"
Zhao Hanyan hated this inside but smiled sweetly, "Don't worry, there are plenty of women!"
Teaming with NPCs did not necessarily require raising Favorability.
You only needed to meet certain NPC conditions to team up.
The quickest method
was to find greedy and lustful NPCs!
That's human nature.
Very few people are not greedy or lustful.
This game was very realistic.
Therefore, NPCs inside behaved just like real people!
Zhao Hanyan called a player henchman and ordered, "Go offline to recruit club hostesses, pay more money if needed. They must be from Novice Village No. 0001. Notify me when found."
"Yes, Big Sister Boss!"
The henchman immediately logged off to arrange it.
……
Wolfhead Ridge.
The sky darkened.
Few players appeared here.
This was the area of the "Black Wolf Monster" event.
When one wolf moves, thousands follow!
Sometimes harder to handle than facing a High-Tier BOSS!
It was the first Level Grinding area players cleared out.
However, the vast Wolfhead Ridge was already littered with countless Black Wolf Monster corpses!
Many were cut in half at the waist!
Near the bodies, many items had dropped!
At the highest point of Wolfhead Ridge, a sword-wielding player stood still with closed eyes.
Naturally, this player was Ye Qiu!
He had been killing monsters for a long time.
Monsters respawned too slowly to keep up with him!
Chop Nine Forms!
"Cut in half," "Pierce through," "Straight stab," "Side chop," "Oblique slash"...
Ye Qiu was contemplating the skill.
In his past life, many players had refined skill application to an extreme, mainly thanks to NPC demonstrations.
For example, the basic sword skill "Chop."
When used by a player, It was just an ordinary mana-consuming skill.
But in Trial City, NPCs could perform many variations!
The "Chop Nine Forms" Ye Qiu was understanding now was an advanced version of "Chop."
In his past life, a player had learned it from NPCs, posted it on the forum, and many players started researching skills.
Since then, skills blossomed in diversity!
Above "Chop Nine Forms", there was even a more advanced "Chop Thirteen Forms"!
In short, a simple skill, once advanced, would have doubled power, or more, depending on the user.
[Chop Nine Forms (Level 1): 322/2000. Each form increases attack power by 10.]
(Note: This skill is an advanced version of basic "Chop," and consumes a huge amount of mana.)
Suddenly, Ye Qiu moved.
His right hand held a sword—the Blue Advanced equipment, Fine Steel Sword!
First form... Cut in half!
Whoosh!
The longsword sliced through the air.
A freshly spawned Black Wolf Monster lunged.
Puff!
One strike.
Instantly cut in half!
Body separated front and back!
The strike was smooth and seamless, like eating Dove chocolate.
Second form... Pierce through!
Third form...
Fourth form...
...
Sixth form... a red hit!
Buzz buzz buzz!
The sword in Ye Qiu's hand began to vibrate.
"Whew..."
He stopped, breathing heavily.
"With my current mana, I can only use up to the sixth form."
Although he said that, he was very satisfied.
After all, in his past life, he only managed to master several advanced skill forms before the apocalypse.
Chop Nine Forms was one of them.
He never grasped the even more advanced Chop Thirteen Forms!
This life, in less than two days, he had already comprehended six forms of Chop Nine Forms!
His heartbeat quickened, excited beyond words!
Afterwards, Ye Qiu checked missed system prompts—
[Ding! Your Level increased by 1, HP increased, attributes increased, and corresponding fixed attribute points rewarded.]
[Ding! Your Level increased by 1...]
[Ding! Your Level increased by 1...]
He leveled up three times!
Ye Qiu was now Level 8!
Not bad.
Early game, Leveling was fast.
But later, it would slow down.
Ye Qiu did not consider teaming up with NPCs to level up.
Because teaming up with NPCs had huge drawbacks!
These drawbacks were fatal!
And only later did players gradually discover them.
At that moment, [Ding! Player "Thousand-Faced Gentleman" sent a voice message. Accept?]
