Legend: One corpse-picking message per day

Chapter 3 Bichon City

It's about an hour from the west gate of Beach City, so we should be able to make it...

He Sheng looked at the package again and realized with a pain in his heart that he would have to run back to Biqi City to get back.

There used to be a shortcut back to Beach City from the mining area.

As long as you have a return scroll in your inventory, you can immediately return to Bichon City after using it.

The problem is that the original owner's sycophant didn't buy a return scroll to use.

That thing is a bit expensive; it costs 10,000 gold coins each.

Another shortcut is to use a dungeon escape scroll. After using it, you can immediately fly outside the mining area and randomly land in the wilderness of Bichon City.

Then, by using a random teleportation scroll to fly around, you can reach the vicinity of Bichon City.

The problem is, I didn't have either of those, so I had to run back to town...

He's currently on the tenth line, so he can only run to the west gate of Bichon City and then switch lines.

Without further hesitation, He Sheng began running out of the mine...

Fortunately, although this body is sick in the real world, it is not affected much in this world, and it doesn't get out of breath much when running.

As I ran along, all I saw were players mining...

Besides the newcomers, there were also quite a few warriors wearing level 22 professional heavy armor!

There were even warriors wearing the armor of the God of War!
Soldiers really have it tough...

"One, two, three, four, five, mining is so hard!"

"What we've mined is all copper, and the purity is all five percent!"

……

I wonder which miserable person just blurted it out...

Mr. He was deeply moved by what he heard...

It feels like I've returned to my youth, to those miserable months spent digging in the mines...

Back then, a day of mining was enough to fight monsters for several hours...

When mining, finding a piece of gold ore is like winning the lottery...

Every day, I'd spend five hours mining every night, and the last three hours fighting monsters...

Listening to the clicking and clanging sounds of mining all around him, He Sheng's eyes glazed over...

Just then, a cheerful voice suddenly rang out:

"Guys, this is the abandoned mining area of ​​Beach City."

You can mine various ores and sell them for gold coins.

See that? Lots of players are mining here..."

He Sheng turned his head in surprise and was shocked to see a player recording a video on his phone.

I guess she wants to go back to reality and post on short video platforms...

Looking around more closely, you can see that some people are also taking out their phones to take pictures or record videos...

Gamers are human too; they probably all want to gain more exposure and make more money in the outside world...

But this kind of thing is no longer unusual.

For hundreds of years, these ordinary videos have been everywhere on the internet.

He Sheng's original owner had filmed some mining videos, but nobody watched them.

What's the hottest video right now?
Unless you get an extremely rare piece of equipment from a monster or make a fortune by looting corpses...

Or perhaps you discover new maps, new equipment, new monsters, etc...

It took him more than ten minutes to get out of the mining area...

A blinding ray of sunlight hit him, making it impossible for He Sheng to open his eyes...

Feeling the gentle breeze and the dazzling sunlight...

What a wonderful world...

We raced through dense forests and plains...

Every now and then you see new players dressed in cloth armor fighting mobs...

A cat with a hook that walks upright.

A half-orc wielding a spiked club,
A giant poisonous spider,

A scarecrow that walks upright...

Hmm... Just like the legendary game from my past life...

He Sheng didn't fight those monsters; he avoided them whenever possible...

But as he ran, his health gradually decreased...

In this world, running around won't significantly affect your stamina, but it will reduce your health.

When your health drops to extremely low levels, you can't run anymore.

What's amazing is that even if you level up to level 10 or 20 in the early stages of this world, you can still run at the same speed as a normal person.

But if I go back to the outside world, I'll become a superhero!

In short, in this legendary world, fighting monsters is similar to playing games in He Sheng's previous life.

Once back in the real world, it's like unlocking a new ability, allowing them to unleash extraordinary power.

Therefore, every country is doing its utmost to send people here to develop and seize resources. Otherwise, falling behind will leave them with no voice in the outside world...

As He Sheng was deep in thought, suddenly, a large number of monsters spawned around him. He tried to circle around, but each time a monster blocked his way.

There was no other way but to kill!

The small fireball slammed into a scarecrow, dealing 16 points of damage!

Before the scarecrow could get close, He Sheng took it away with another small fireball!

"Experience +14!"

With a clang, an iron bracelet exploded on the ground!

He Sheng rushed forward, picked it up, turned and ran, followed by a large group of orcs.

He glanced at the package as he ran.
Iron bracelet:
Defense 0-1, Accuracy +1.

Durability 5-5, Weight 1.

Level 3 required.

Huh?
A top-tier item with an added 1 point of defense, not bad.

He Sheng happily put it on.

Turning around, a small fireball hit an orc.

The orc had 33 health points, and He Sheng killed it with two small fireballs.

"Experience +37 points".

Soon, He Sheng killed several more orcs, who dropped a small magic potion and a few piles of small gold coins.

Pick up the items, rush through the gap in the monster's path, and continue running towards Bichon City.

……

We finally arrived at the moat of Bichon City, where there were even more newbies killing monsters...

He Sheng, who originally wanted to go around, was still blocked by the scarecrows, toads and other creatures that appeared.

A nearby toad stretched out its tongue and quickly licked He Sheng!
This guy attacks with his long tongue, and there's a chance of being paralyzed if you get hit.

Because of its paralyzing property, many people in the legendary game believed that killing it would yield a divine artifact, the Paralyzing Ring!
Even He Sheng believed it.

But after grinding against the toad monster for a week straight, he stopped believing it...

Lost in thought, He Sheng kept moving, dodging the toad's attack by sidestepping, and then slamming a fireball at it.

It was hit so hard it paused!
Before it could continue its attack, He Sheng's small fireball followed closely behind!

Kill it!

"Experience points +14".

With a clang, this guy dropped a hexagonal ring.

Huh?
You're lucky!
He Sheng happily picked it up.

Hexagonal ring:

Magic 0-1, Durability 5-5, Weight 1.

Level 7 required.

It works perfectly...

He Sheng jogged across the bridge, bypassing the players fighting monsters.

At the gates of Bich City, several Taoist priests dressed in ghostly battle armor were constantly summoning red divine beasts, while the guards with broadswords standing nearby flashed forward and killed the divine beasts with a single blow.

The Taoist's divine beast is extremely powerful, but because it looks a bit like a dog when it's lying down, players also call it "Dog".

Taoist priests who can summon mythical beasts are jokingly referred to as "dog priests."

However, to unleash the dog's true power, it needs to master the skill of summoning mythical beasts.

Dogs are quite resilient and generally don't die easily.

However, skill proficiency is only counted when the dog is summoned again.

Therefore, cultivating the ability to summon divine beasts is not easy.

In the early days of the legendary computer game, players didn't know how to quickly train their dogs, or even earlier, their baby skeletons.

Later, it was discovered that when a baby skeleton passed by the sword-wielding guards at the city gate, the guards would attack the baby skeleton.

A regular, unupgraded skeleton baby, or even a dog, can be killed in one hit by the Greatsword Guardian!

This discovery opened the door to a new world for the Taoist priests.

As a result, many Taoist priests went to the various sword-wielding guards to practice their pet skills.

But then another problem arose: back then, you had to keep pressing the computer keyboard to release skills.

I can't stand it for long.

So some clever people would use paper or something else to block the button, making it stop moving, and thus it could continuously release the skill of summoning babies on its own.

Then I switch off and watch a short movie or something...

In his past life, He Sheng had done this kind of work quite often...

Therefore, seeing others training dogs here now makes him quite nostalgic...

He glanced at it twice, then quickly ran towards the west gate...
