Online Game: I'm in MapleStory

There weren't many people in Rainbow Village. It was obvious that everyone had rushed through the village to level up in the wild forest.

It was obvious that this Rainbow Village was just a place of death. Wu Ming also saw merchants selling knives and guns, as well as merchants selling recovery medicine.

Soon, Wu Ming also walked towards the teleportation array outside the village, intending to teleport to a more advanced wild forest to see if there were other monsters besides the green snail.

There were not many people staying in the village's teleportation array, and Wu Ming soon arrived. Then he was covered by another ray of light.

When I opened my eyes again, I saw a vast mountaintop, which was filled with people. Each person or team had figured out the monster's spawn point, and they were all waiting for the spawn so that they could attack and kill the monsters instantly.

"...speechless, there's not a single monster. Luckily, this hilltop only has a green snail and a small mushroom."

"This feeling is so familiar!!!"

"Isn't ZTMD the exact scene from the launch of a popular online game on the home planet? It's exactly the same!"

Wu Ming walked around the mountain and looked at the map which was full of people, and burst into tears.

The full-level snail throwing technique is a magical skill at this stage, but it’s a pity that there is no place to use it.

The next moment, Wu Ming thought of another feasible idea.

Fight monsters above your level!

At the current stage of upgrading, most people still use novice weapons to poke snails, which deals -3 to -5 health points, and the maximum damage is 6 with a critical hit. Some people in a small group have learned the novice skill of snail throwing, but unfortunately it only adds 1 point, and the damage is fixed at -10 health points.

A green snail has 30 HP, so it is not easy for ordinary people to fight it alone.

However, Wu Ming is not an ordinary person. He upgrades the Snail Throwing Technique to the highest level 3. The fixed damage is 40 health points, and the MP consumption will be reduced due to the upgrade of the skill.

The only skill without cooldown for novices is Snail Throw. Unfortunately, it requires MP support. You only have 50 MP at birth, so it will be cooldown after a few shots.

With the 40 damage of his snail throwing technique, it is easy to kill a green snail or a small mushroom in one second. One is an instant kill, and the other is a matter of two shots.

According to this situation, the level 1 green snail has 30 health points, and the level 2 mushroom has only 70 health points. You have every opportunity to kill higher-level monsters to level up.

Moreover, the range of the full-level Snail Throwing skill is about ten meters. So you should stay away from high-level monsters, otherwise they will die when they get in front of you.

"Good throw, I think it's okay!"

Thinking of this, Wu Ming went straight to the teleportation array of the next map.

"Brother, don't go over there. The monsters in the next map have around 160 HP. With each new level, their HP increases exponentially. There's no chance of killing them!"

"That's right, not only that, but high-level monsters also have increased defensive attributes. Someone who's not afraid of death has already tried it!"

As soon as Wu Ming walked to the teleportation array, people nearby who saw him started shouting.

After all, this world is not a virtual game. All experiences and everything you come into contact with in this world are real.

Even if the monster is only level 1, few people can fight it alone.

Wu Ming is only level 2 now and he wants to go to the next map. Everyone thinks he has a problem with his brain. He is basically seeking death.

"I don't have the ability to grab monsters right now, I'm just going to go take a look!"

Wu Ming said something casually, dismissing their kindness, and stepped directly into the teleportation array.

"Everyone can only be resurrected ten times. Someone has already tried it by dying. I didn't expect there are still people who refuse to give up."

"That's normal. After all, there are a lot of fools out there. After all, it's hard to persuade a damned person with kind words. He can be resurrected anyway, so dying once to wake up is not bad."

"Stop talking! The countdown has started and the monster will be refreshed soon! Don't let others steal the monster we are camping for."

"It's refreshed over there, go and touch it!"

As the green snails refreshed, the nearby teams rushed over directly.

The poor green snail was about to be stabbed by hundreds of people.

After being teleported, the map was similar to the previous hill, still a green hill, but the shape had changed slightly.

Wu Ming walked carefully. After all, the monsters in this forest were of higher level, and it was not clear whether there were other monsters.

After all, the person who came in earlier appeared in Rainbow Village before he had even taken a few steps.

After walking a few meters and turning around another tree, Wu Ming spotted a slowly moving figure.

"Oh my goodness, the tree has become a spirit, no, it's the tree stump that has become a spirit!"

It was a brown tree stump with four pillars underneath. In front of it was a big eyeball staring at Wu Ming, then slowly walked towards him.

Wu Ming walked over carefully, and the wood monster entered the attack range of the snail throwing technique.

"Snail Throwing Technique!"

A green snail shell the size of a palm appeared out of thin air in his hand and smashed towards the wood monster's body.

"-40!"

A red and yellow number popped out the moment the snail shell touched the wood monster.

And because of the impact of the snail shell, the wood monster produced a forced knockback effect.

The moment he hit the wood monster, Wu Ming directly rushed into the attack state from the normal state. He raised his hand in the air, and the details and attributes of the monster appeared before his eyes.

【Wood Fairy】

Rating: 4

Health: 120/160

Attack: 18

Physical defense: 16

Magical Defense: 0

Description: Commonly found in forests and highlands. Its short, tree-root legs make it slow to move. While its attack power is weak, its stamina is surprisingly strong, making hunting difficult for beginners. Because a single eye grows on one side of a tree stump, first sightings of a wood demon often startle people. It's said that one of its eyes occasionally sheds tears.

"Wow, it really is a wood demon! Luckily, the novice skill Snail Throwing has fixed damage, otherwise it would have been very painful."

Wu Ming frowned as he looked at the wood monster slowly walking towards him. Without any hesitation, he used the snail throwing technique again.

"-40"

The yellow and red damage numbers appeared again. The wood monster was still walking slowly. At this time, the wood monster only had 80 health points left.

Wu Ming used the snail throwing technique twice more.

"Woo-woo!" A dull sound of a tree falling was heard, and the wood monster's blood was emptied and it fell to the ground.

[Kill the wood monster and gain 10 experience points! ]

"So many! I'm rich!"

Seeing that the experience bar had increased by one tenth, Wu Ming was ecstatic.

According to basic information, you will gain 1-5 experience points by killing monsters of the same level or lower than your own level, and whoever delivers the final blow will get the experience and dropped items. Of course, the dropped items have a safety time to prevent others from snatching them.

The same applies to teaming up, this is to guarantee the interests of the person who gets the last blow of glory. Even teammates in a team have a safe time, but the time is only half of the normal time.

The total consumption of 4 snail throws is only 28 points, which is just a little more than half of your MP. As the level increases, the MP will also increase.

My current MP is enough to kill a wood monster, and my MP will slowly recover over time.

"Touch the body, let me see what exploded!"

A white, round ball of light appeared next to the wood demon's corpse. Wu Ming walked over and pressed his hand into the ball of light.

[You get 20 Maple Leaf Coins and a wooden short staff]

Wooden short staff: Attack power +10, magic power +13

"Not bad, the equipment is out so quickly!"

Wu Ming immediately picked up the wooden staff. This one had decent attack power among the novice equipment. The long sword given when he first arrived in MapleStory only had +6 attack power.

Of course, the attack of this equipment does not conflict with the Snail Throwing skill, and the Snail Throwing skill still has fixed damage.

Four snail throws are enough to kill a wood elf, and then you just need to wait for your MP to recover before you can farm again.

He did what he said. After touching the corpse, Wu Ming immediately found a forest with an open view and sat down on the ground. After a few minutes, his MP was fully restored.

The difficulty of the novice adventurer lies in the fact that the HP/MP recovery is too slow in the early stage.

After recovering, Wu Ming stood up and walked towards the wood monster he had seen during his rest.

-40

. . .

4 snail throws killed the wood monster directly.

[Kill the Wood Monster, you gain 10 experience points! ]

【You get 20 Maple Leaf Coins】

"Let's go back to the woods to recover our MP first."

Keep fighting the Wood Monster repeatedly, rest to recover MP, and then fight the Wood Monster again.

Maybe because of the higher-level kill, Wu Ming felt that his luck was pretty good. He got a full-body suit of clothing in the middle of the fight, but its attributes were useless. It only gave him +5 physical defense and +5 magic defense.

At least it's better than the novice's top and pants, which are purely decorative and don't add any attributes.

"I'm numb, I don't have any medicine to drink, and my MP recovery is still too slow!"

I sat in the empty woods again, looking at my MP which recovered a little after a while, and I felt overwhelmed.

While recovering his MP, Wu Ming rested while turning on the Soul Spark. This crystal has the function of world chat!

"Although this MapleStory world is just like an online game, where the main focus is leveling up by killing monsters, leveling up now is so boring! I haven't touched a single monster in the whole morning!"

"At least you upstairs didn't put in any effort, unlike me, who painstakingly lured a snail into a corner and slowly poked it, only to have the final blow stolen by a team that suddenly appeared!"

"I don't understand anymore. Is this world real or fake? This setting is like an online game designed for high-paying gamers. What the hell!"

"It seems no one has gone to the next map to fight the attacking monsters yet. I think instead of forming a team to grab the snails here, why not gather three or four teams to fight the high-level monsters together!"

"Brother, do you know what level the high-level monsters in the next map are? They're between 4 and 6. Don't ask me how I know, because everyone in our team has already been resurrected once!"

"The upgraded bosses can use Snail Throw together. That skill also has a knockback effect. Although the damage is a bit low now, we can still defeat it with more people. If it's not a big problem, then the upgrade will probably be super powerful!"

"That makes sense! My Snail Throwing skill is already level one, with 10 damage. I can find a few more people to take turns with me. Killing one with one throw should be no problem."

"That's right. I'm recovering my HP and MP in the Rainbow Village of the 951st dimension. If anyone has upgraded and added the Snail Throwing skill, let's team up and go to the next forest!"

"Brother, don't you know that there is a chat channel for the dimensional area in the Spark of the Soul?"

"..."

In the world chat function, countless messages are refreshed every second. After all, it only takes thought to input two days, so both the elderly and children are refreshing the messages.

Looking at this information, some of the content made Wu Ming feel the urgency of time.

Activating the snail throwing skill, even at the lowest level 1, has fixed damage, and according to the current situation, a person can throw the snail shell at least three times.

If all six people in a team activate the snail throw, they can kill a wood monster in one round. This method is feasible.

Judging from the situation, someone will soon come to this level 4-6 forest.

At that time, I will be fighting a monster with only one MP tube, while other teams will probably have killed all the monsters in one round. I may end up like the green snail, unable to kill any monsters.
