Chapter 5: Survive Until Invincible
Combat skills, this is what Han Xiaodao absolutely loves.
Especially when you can master them in reality as well, it's thrilling just to think about.
This is a simple martial training field, and yet it has fences and guards.
Using this Ghost Talisman stone to get inside, I realized this is where the real torture begins.
There's absolutely no chance to escape, learning from the crippled Veteran Hunter inside on how to find and identify prey, mostly focusing on practicing slashes and throws.
At this point, Han Xiaodao couldn't exploit any shortcuts.
If you're not serious, the relevant progress slows down.
As a result, Han Xiaodao spent several days here, and the progress wasn't even half, because you can't leave until it's completed.
"Brother Dao, I underestimated you; you came through faster than me." The Military Dagger came over, smiling and patting Han Xiaodao's shoulder, noticing the blisters on his hands, implying the Stone-tipped Wooden Spear manufacturing was completed.
This gave Han Xiaodao a sense of crisis.
To finish the task quickly, Han Xiaodao went offline to search for throwing techniques and wilderness survival related information.
Even so, a few days later, the Military Dagger waved goodbye, having finished the task ahead and left.
This made Han Xiaodao work even harder, and finally, three days later, the progress bar was completed.
Beep: Congratulations, you've acquired Basic Skills: Basic Spear Mastery (includes combat, throwing).
Han Xiaodao wanted to cry, why isn't it a Skill Book, but instead forcibly learned it?
The exiting Han Xiaodao hurried to the warehouse, exchanging ten inferior stone spearheads with the guard for a large piece of Beast Meat. No choice, these days, the wool gathered using Personal Space had been used up, even the roast chicken, roast goose, beef, and lamb brought from reality could only fill the stomach and didn't contain Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi, unable to convert into Experience.
Even so, the level rose to Level 7, and the upgrade pattern was understood.
Levels one to five require 10 Experience each; from Level 5 to Level 10, each requires 20 Experience.
(Han Xiaodao) Han Xiaodao: Wugubu Tribe Young Hunter: Level 7. Experience: 56|60. Life: 97%, Level Cap: 10.
Skills: Blank.
Basic Life Skills, Stone Weapons, Spear, Manufacturing (entry), 1%.
Basic Combat Skills: Basic Spear Mastery. 1%
Divine Techniques: Dead Bone Revival Skill (entry). Evolution consumption: 100 Experience.
Especially, the fact that Dead Bone Revival Skill could evolve was the source of Han Xiaodao's motivation.
Despite being bitter and tired, one look, thinking about how he could summon skeletons in reality, could learn even more magical skills in the future, and motivation was there.
"Han Xiaodao, you're out! Keep working hard; reach Level 10 soon, and you can go out hunting." Just happened to run into Military Dagger, heading out with a few NPCs to hunt; he's reached Level 10 already?
A glance, good grief, not Level 10, but Level 11.
That's too fast.
"Go out to hunt? Joking, am I lacking food? Such risky things, forget it, safety first." Han Xiaodao waved and nodded confidently, while inwardly deciding, definitely not going out.
In reality, he directly found a known neighbor, a veteran worker in his fifties.
Despite a tough family situation, they're nice and upbeat.
Paid some wages and provided materials, and the old worker swiftly crafted the Stone-tipped Spear needed by Han Xiaodao, ten times faster than Han Xiaodao, intentionally made rougher upon request.
Even so, the worst was ordinary, good grade, far stronger than the inferior that Han Xiaodao managed.
Unexpectedly, the half-dead old guard in the warehouse had sharp eyes, completely different prices for the difference in quality, double for higher grade.
Currently, Han Xiaodao even has premium quality.
Unqualified is not accepted; others are divided into inferior, ordinary, good grade, and premium, Han Xiaodao doesn't have higher quality.
This way, Han Xiaodao doesn't lack meat anymore.
Daily began eating meat and training hard again.
But no longer foolishly shouldering stone to refine Constitution, instead swinging the Stone-tipped Wooden Spear and throwing the Wooden Spear.
Similarly, this gained Experience and improved combat skill Proficiency.
Time passed day by day.
Online continues with various insults, sweeping four sides like a storm, this game is simply designed to torment players, definitely the game playing people, not people playing the game, wasting such realistic effects.
Those who can afford helmets have some status.
Daily clamoring not to play if not fixed, yet still clamoring until now.
Finally, in the Wugubu Tribe, Han Xiaodao let out a long breath, placing the spear on the ground, casually wiping sweat off his forehead.
Experience was enough to level to Level 10, but Han Xiaodao chose not to upgrade.
Level 10 marks adulthood, as a hunter, you must go out to hunt.
Moreover, according to online information, the trial after adulthood, players had a 50% death rate.
Come on! Safety first, safety first.
Passing by the Totem Pole, seeing a coach training those muscular kids, already reviving skeletons, fighting lively, seems the new generation is graduating.
Days unknowingly passed by again.
"Humph!" A certain player swaggered past Han Xiaodao, rudely flipped the middle finger.
With a posture that said, I despise you, what can you do?
Once a slutty mouth now also became cocky, followed by a few slave players behind, considered a little boss.
Seeing Han Xiaodao ignored him, he didn't leave today; instead stood in front of Han Xiaodao proudly looking at him.
"You little brat, I'm Level 10 now." Slutty Mouth lowered his head, gesturing with his hand, stood a whole head taller than Han Xiaodao, no choice, as he's not yet an adult at Level 9.
"Not looking to bully you, bullying the weak is meaningless, just want to tell you, without skill, relying on shortcuts to become a hunter is futile, haha! True skill is real ability."
Other slaves hurriedly laughed along sucking up, even in the game, reluctant to leave such a realistic world, naturally hoping to have a better time.
Han Xiaodao was not angry at all, in reality, relying on Beast Meat, growing stronger every day, now even afraid to go to the gym, instead bought a force tester back home, watching the numbers increase daily, that's the greatest encouragement, the rest, heh, lazy to bother, it'll disrupt my rhythm of becoming stronger.
"So cowardly, even in the game what's the point, forget it, not bothering to bully you, tomorrow I'll be out hunting for trials, regardless of life and death, living splendidly, that's life, that's game." Slutty Mouth suddenly found bullying this kid really pointless, held his head high ready to leave.
Accumulated quite a bit of online information already, this damned game not only enjoys torturing players but dying equals account deletion, even might not be able to log in for a month.
This time, a middle-aged hunter came over, loudly looked at Han Xiaodao.
"You, too weak, from today you'll be demoted...!"
