With a crisp crack, the scene was set for disaster.
The War Camel Beast was completely unfazed, while Niu Roumian's leg, which had delivered the Charged Kick, fractured on impact.
He stood frozen, the embarrassment palpable.
"It's like kicking a steel plate…" Niu Roumian thought in horror, unable to process what had just happened.
The War Camel Beast, uninterested in his plight, followed up with a War Camel Stomp, promptly sending Niu Roumian back to the respawn screen.
The watching players collectively facepalmed.
"Was this guy sent by the monkeys to entertain us?"
Despite witnessing Niu Roumian's humiliating defeat, many players eagerly attempted their own challenges, employing all kinds of bizarre tactics:
One player dropped to one knee and dramatically proclaimed, "Brother War Camel, I'm your long-lost cousin!"
The beast's response was swift—a powerful kick that ended the performance instantly.
Another player tried the "kite-and-throw" strategy, tossing stones at the War Camel Beast while backing away.
The beast closed the gap in moments, trampling him mercilessly.
(Two legs versus four legs—it wasn't even a contest.)
A third player yelled, "Taste my sliding kick!" and attempted a dramatic slide under the beast.
Unfortunately, he slid straight into its hooves, catching a fatal stomp to the face.
An hour later, players exited the respawn vortex, exchanging dejected glances.
"Honestly… I'm considering quitting the game," one player admitted with a sigh.
The sentiment was shared by many.
If they couldn't even beat the first monster, what hope did they have for the rest of the game?
At that moment, a solitary figure approached the War Camel Beast.
ID: Indomitable Bear Strong.
"The War Camel Beast pauses for one second before using its stomp attack," Bear Strong noted calmly.
"Its weak point is the lower abdomen, so targeting it is the key to victory."
"Also, the Charged Kick technique must be used correctly. Based on Niu Roumian's attempts, the kick only works if it strikes the beast's weak point. Otherwise, it backfires and causes injury to the user."
With a glint of determination, Bear Strong stepped forward to begin his challenge.
Moments later, the familiar flash of light indicated his defeat, as he respawned back in the sect plaza.
"My timing was off. I need to refine my technique," he muttered, analyzing his movements.
Undeterred, Bear Strong returned to the mountain, challenging the beast again and again.
While Bear Strong's persistence grew, most players gave up entirely, resigning themselves to waiting for a first kill by someone else.
Some climbed to high vantage points to enjoy the sunset.
Others rummaged through the ruins, searching for loot or hidden items.
A few even logged off to scour the internet for tips and guides.
The largest group, however, gathered in the plaza, drawn by the smell of cooking meat.
ID: Chef's Apprentice, having procured a large pot and some makeshift grilling tools, was busy slicing up War Camel Beast meat and cooking it for the group.
"War Camel Beast slices are delicious!"
"Try the leg meat—it's amazing!"
"Chef, you're a legend! Best game meal I've ever had!"
The players surrounded the pot, devouring the meat with makeshift wooden chopsticks, their enthusiasm unabated.
"Shouldn't we be focusing on cultivating?" one player hesitated.
"Forget cultivation. Does it smell like hotpot?"
"Seriously, I pulled an all-nighter grinding this game, and now I'm eating virtual hotpot? Worth it, though—it's delicious!"
The Next Day.
He Yiming woke from his meditation, fully healed.
"That War Camel Beast is ridiculously strong," he muttered.
"These players don't stand a chance against it. Looks like I'll have to take care of the mission myself."
He sighed, glancing at the time. "Only two days left. There's no way I can kill a hundred of them in time…"
Deciding to start his day with a sign-in, He Yiming focused his thoughts.
Ding! Host has successfully signed in! Reward: Resurrection Hall unlocked!
Resurrection Hall: Players will now respawn in this building upon death, automatically resetting to Body Refinement Stage 1 without needing to recreate their characters.
"This is great!" He Yiming smiled.
"With this, even if players die repeatedly, they can keep their accumulated knowledge and experience."
"It's basically a roguelike system now!"
He Yiming admired the efficiency of the new building. No more time wasted creating characters after each death.
Suddenly, a system notification rang out.
Ding!
ID: Indomitable Bear Strong has successfully defeated a War Camel Beast and completed the mission! Awarded 100 contribution points.
"???"
He Yiming froze in disbelief.
"A player… killed a War Camel Beast?"
He rubbed his eyes, convinced he was dreaming, but the system notification was unmistakably real.
"How did he do it?" He Yiming muttered as he hurried out of the main hall.
In the plaza, players surrounded a figure standing atop a freshly killed War Camel Beast, his body covered in blood and his face glowing with triumph.
ID: Indomitable Bear Strong.
"That War Camel Beast was tough," Bear Strong said calmly.
"The key is its high attack and defense. With our current stats, getting hit is instant death."
"So, the only way to win is with a flawless no-hit strategy."
"No-hit? Are you kidding me?"
The players stared at him in shock, trying to comprehend the absurdity of his words.
Is this what it means to be a true gaming pro?
"Big boss, how did you do it? Can you show us again so we can learn?" one player asked, stars practically shining in their eyes.
"Of course," Bear Strong nodded, his willingness to share strategies earning him admiration from everyone around.
"This… this is what a real pro looks like!"
The players couldn't help but cheer. They couldn't beat the monster themselves, but with a mentor like Bear Strong, victory might still be possible.
Even He Yiming was captivated.
"How did he manage it?"
A mere Body Refinement Stage 1 player defeating a Spirit Vein Realm beast was unheard of.
Bear Strong wasn't some prodigy with innate talents or a legendary physique—he was as ordinary as they came.
So how had he done it?
