Looking at his brand-new attributes, Su Bai felt a surge of joy.
Then he glanced at the countdown on the attribute panel.
121:17:29
Converted into days, it was just over five days.
In just over five days, the player would arrive!
However, Su Bai was not nervous now.
He had already done everything he could.
In the final five days, even if he hunted monsters with full effort, he could only increase his level by at most 1 and gain some attribute points—only a limited overall strength increase.
The Gold-devouring Ant tribe was still in the spawning-training cycle, continuously improving, so Su Bai no longer needed to worry.
It seemed...
He only needed to sit and quietly wait for these five days to pass and for the player to arrive.
But Su Bai was unwilling.
Just because the next five days couldn't greatly improve his strength didn't mean he had nothing to do, nor that he couldn't do anything.
Su Bai planned to check outside Gloomy Jungle.
Not the side adjoining Poison Swamp, but leaving Gloomy Jungle, leaving the monster-infested "leveling map," to look at the edge of the human world.
Su Bai's current identity was "Lord of Gloomy Jungle," the big boss of the newbie map.
That meant Gloomy Jungle was one of the newbie maps the system prepared for the player. So outside this newbie map, there must at least be a newbie village!
Every newbie village was the player's spawn point, where they first set foot.
Su Bai did not know what the newbie village contained, but before the player arrived, he could at least go and investigate, understand the village's reality.
Then, when the player truly arrived, he could formulate corresponding strategies.
...
Taking a large amount of low-level magical equipment out of his expanded 151515 storage space and instructing Little Worker Ant to continue consuming metal to increase strength, Su Bai left the nest.
Still in Heavy Knight Form, he ran full speed, reaching the edge of Gloomy Jungle from its center in less than a day.
Taking a deep breath, Su Bai looked once more at the lush forest behind him and left Gloomy Jungle.
Outside Gloomy Jungle was a vast grassland.
Countless life forms lived in this dense grassland.
Thanks to Eye of Insight, Su Bai could still see numerous level 1 monsters hiding in the dense grass. They were feeding, hunting, or resting, completely unaware that their end would come in five days.
These level 1 monsters were the system's lowest-level monsters prepared for the player.
Killing these monsters scattered across the grassland would be enough for the player to level up two or three times, then enter Gloomy Jungle to open higher-level maps.
Without slowingdown , Su Bai quickly crossed this grassland, which was much smaller than Gloomy Jungle, and saw signs of humans.
It was a cultivated field.
Green crops filled the field, growing fruits Su Bai had never seen before in his previous life—even in this game world, the natives needed to eat.
Just as in the food chain inside Gloomy Jungle, low-level monsters grazed or were Tiny Level creatures; higher-level monsters preyed on lower-level monsters.
Without the player, this was a real world.
The player was the greatest falsehood in this world.
Looking beyond the edge of the field, Su Bai saw a village.
The village, with only a dozen or so houses, stood at the field's edge. A somewhat narrow dirt road stretched from the village into the distance, either toward other villages or higher-level cities.
"Is this the newbie village the system prepared for the player?"
After reaching the field's edge, Su Bai slowed to a normal human pace and moved toward the village, wanting to enter and investigate.
But suddenly...
Ding!
A crisp sound rang out.
Su Bai expressionlessly looked at his chest, where a broken arrow had just fallen off and dropped to the ground.
After the arrow struck Su Bai, a stern voice suddenly sounded.
"Who are you?"
"Why are you approaching our village?!"
Following the voice, Su Bai saw a middle-aged man in hunter's clothing hiding behind a large tree a few dozen meters ahead to his right front.
Scanning him, Su Bai easily obtained information about the hunter.
[Identity]: Hunter
[Race]: Human
[Rank]: Elite
[Level]: 25
[Status]: HP 1400, Mana 500
[Attributes]: Strength 50, Agility 90, Constitution 40, Spirit 20
[Skills]: Hawk Eye Technique, Breath Hold Shot, Rapid Fire, Trap Skill
No threat to himself.
Just a glance was enough for Su Bai to conclude this.
The hunter's arrow was obviously aimed at Su Bai's heart, but he had underestimated the defense of Su Bai's heavy armor formed by Resistant Carapace. The sharp arrow not only failed to injure Su Bai but could not even leave a white mark on the armor.
"I have no hostility."
Su Bai's deep voice came from behind the heavy faceplate, his gaze fixed on the hunter who was cautiously readying another arrow.
Unfortunately,
the response to Su Bai was still another arrow!
