A Game for Everyone: God-Level Talent is Achieved Through Rolling In.

Having not played The Witcher for many years, seeing Huatang Chunxiao defending an outsider like this only made him feel worse, and he was about to spew a few more words.

Huatang Chunxiao, however, rushed ahead of him and called for everyone to walk together, not giving him any chance to speak at all.

At the same time, he continued to send private messages to reassure Nie Wan.

【I'm so sorry, so sorry, I really need your understanding. But you can rest assured about one thing: our team's skills are decent. Although we might not be able to defeat the Rock Spirit, with a few of us in front, if things get too tough, we can buy you some time to escape. At that point, you don't need to worry about us; just disengage and save your life.】

After seeing the private message, Nie Wan smiled and nodded at Hua Tang Chunxiao.

Seeing her kind smile, Huatang Chunxiao secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

This woman seems easy to talk to; there shouldn't be any major conflicts going on.

The group walked out of the small river south of the village and soon arrived at the Qingquan River Valley.

This is the first map where monsters appear. In the winding river valley, rock spirits roam, sometimes in groups and sometimes scattered.

These rock spirits are formed from rock fragments washed down by the river. When no one is around, they are scattered everywhere like ordinary stones. Once a player passes by, the rocks immediately condense and attack the player.

The deeper you go, the more rock spirits condense.

Most players nowadays are newbies and have no idea how to locate invisible monsters. Caught off guard, they're basically sent back to the respawn point by the Rock Spirit in a single encounter.

Even more concerning is that players are unaware that the number of deaths in the game also affects their healthy lifespan in real life.

The lifespan value that Huatang Chunxiao couldn't figure out is actually the number of times the player survives.

If a player dies multiple times, their survival count will be reset to zero, and they will be kicked out of the game, then die from exhaustion.

This fatal problem will likely not become widely known for about three days. After all, most people don't blindly rush in. Even in a game, being killed by monsters doesn't feel good, and it's impossible to keep excitedly and ineffectively killing monsters and feeding kills to others.

However, before realizing that they would actually die, the teams of players did indeed have the mentality of "since we're level zero anyway, it's no big deal if we die", and kept forming teams, pooling money to buy equipment and items, trying to kill the Rock Spirit.

The group from Huatang Chunxiao blended in and didn't stand out.

Nie Wan walked quietly at the back of the group, without saying a word.

Huatang Chunxiao walked into the valley, stopped, pinched her talisman, and tentatively struck forward.

Snapped!

The ball of light from the talisman exploded in front of them, revealing a yellow critical hit number.

-12

The Taoist's attack method is using talismans; since he hasn't learned any skills yet, he can only use normal attacks.

However, Taoists have high magical attack power, and even their normal attacks can often deal considerable damage.

but……

Nie Wan narrowed her eyes slightly and glanced at Huatang Chunxiao again.

This attack not only hit the hidden Rock Spirit precisely, but also struck a vital point, resulting in a critical hit.

Is it really just a coincidence?

The moment the attack struck the Rock Spirit, a howl rang out, and from the distorted ripples, rock fragments coalesced into a tall, humanoid monster that roared as it charged toward the four.

In most games, large monsters move relatively slowly, but the Rock Spirit is an exception.

Not only was he much taller than ordinary players, but he was also incredibly fast. In the blink of an eye, he had already rushed in front of the team, raised his stone arm high, and smashed it down on Huatang Chunxiao.

Huatang Chunxiao retreated rapidly and shouted, "Taishan, deploy your shield!"

Without her saying anything, the old man next door knew what to do, and with a shout, he placed the shield in front of him.

However, for beginners without any skills, using a shield to block attacks is still too difficult.

The angle was slightly off. Although he managed to block the Rock Spirit's attack and didn't die like last time, a large -55 appeared above his head, almost emptying his health bar.

The old man next door staggered back a few steps, but Yan Ling's speed increased even more. Before the old man next door could continue to resist, Yan Ling had already rushed in front of him and raised his stone arm again to smash it down on him.

Huatang Chunxiao's pupils contracted. The guy next to her, who hadn't played Wizarding for many years, had already launched an attack and was pulling her back.

Without treatment, and having to tough it out, someone injured like that would simply be waiting to die; there's no time to take any medicine.

Huatang Chunxiao knew perfectly well what was going on, so she retreated along with those who hadn't played wizarding games for many years, searching for the next place to hide.

The old man next door also closed his eyes, waiting for death to come.

This was agreed upon before we came. There's nothing we can do if we die. As long as the remaining three of us can kill one Rock Spirit, it won't be a loss.

But suddenly, with a clang, the Rock Spirit roared in agony again.

The old man next door felt a gust of wind brush past his cheek and couldn't help but open his eyes.

But they discovered that the Rock Spirit was heading in the opposite direction.

And the one it was closely tracking was the newly joined female healer, You Yuehan.

Huatang Chunxiao and Bu Wan Wizarding for many years were also completely bewildered, watching the Rock Spirit chasing You Yuehan and gradually moving away from them, not knowing what had happened.

While dodging Yan Ling's attacks, Nie Wan gripped the silver needle tightly in her right hand and seized every opportunity to stab it into the crack in Yan Ling's chest.

Her movements were swift and decisive; despite being a nanny, she acted like a ruthless assassin.

The three were at a loss and couldn't dodge at all. Under her nimble movements, Yan Ling actually showed some clumsiness, her dumbbell-like arms grabbing and grabbing, but she just couldn't catch Nie Wan.

"This……"

Huatang Chunxiao stared in astonishment, holding her chin. She remembered that she had actually told her that their team was quite strong, and she unconsciously dug her toes into the ground.

She struggled to regain her senses and said to her equally stunned neighbor, "Don't just stand there, drink your medicine quickly."

Then he gave a push to someone who hadn't played Wizarding for years: "Don't just stand there, start attacking!"

With teammates playing so incredibly well, how can they just stand here dragging the team down?

Her shout snapped them out of their daze, and they quickly started healing and attacking as needed.

The shaman's attack method relies on casting curses using animal bones or feathers. Before learning powerful curses, their attack power is only slightly higher than that of the healer class.

Unlike Huatang Chunxiao, he didn't consciously target the joints of the Rock Spirit when attacking, so he only dealt 2-3 damage at a time, which looked quite pitiful.

Old Taishan next door also rushed back to the Rock Monster after swallowing a Small Rejuvenation Pill, wanting to snatch the monster back and carry it himself. However, thinking of what had just happened, and looking at the monster that was being led by Nie Wan, whose silver needles were dealing 10 points of damage and whose aggro was held very firmly, he hesitated for a long time. Instead of taking over from Nie Wan, he swung his shield and smashed it at the Rock Spirit.

After working together for three minutes, the Rock Spirit lost its last bit of health under the sharpness of the silver needles, turning into a pile of fragments lying on the ground.

Hua Tang Chunxiao looked at the one-tenth of the experience points she had been allocated, then at Nie Wan, who was squatting next to the stone fragments and looting the corpse, and was speechless.

Although she won, the way she won was not what she had expected.

She would never have imagined a strategy where the healer tanks the monsters!

After Nie Wan finished examining the corpse, she stood up and said to Hua Tang Chunxiao, "There are only two stone fragments, worth 1 copper coin. I'll take them, is that alright?"

Huatang Chunxiao nodded quickly: "Of course, of course, of course!"

Don't say the stone fragments are worthless; even if they were valuable, who did they win them with? How could they possibly steal the spoils of war?
