Chapter 3: Different monsters

Xin Zhongze immediately checked the longsword he received.

Wooden Sword: Requires Level 1, Attack 2-5, Weight 7, Durability 4.

As soon as Xin Zhongze received his weapon, the task in his quest log changed.

Task Two: Please go to the pharmacy to collect gold injury medicine.

“Let’s go, we’re going to collect the gold injury medicine.”

Soon, Xin Zhongze took Xu Muyan to queue again.

About ten minutes later, Xin Zhongze and Xu Muyan each obtained ten small bottles of gold injury medicine.

gold injury medicine (Small): Recovers 20 HP within ten seconds after use, Weight 1.

Task Three: Please go outside the village to kill monsters to level up. After reaching Level 7, you can go to the bookstore to receive the Fireball skill.

“Wife, what’s your task?” Xin Zhongze asked Xu Muyan.

“My task is to go outside the village to kill monsters to level up. After reaching Level 7, I can go to the bookstore to receive the Healing Skill.”

“Our tasks are similar; both are to kill monsters and level up outside the village.” Xin Zhongze nodded.

“So, are we going to kill monsters outside the village now?” Xu Muyan asked.

“Let’s go see the situation.”

About ten minutes later, Xin Zhongze and Xu Muyan arrived at the village entrance.

At this time, hundreds of people had already gathered at the village entrance.

At this moment, everyone’s gaze was directed outside the village.

Outside the village, there were many humanoid monsters wandering aimlessly, as if they hadn’t noticed the people inside the village.

Xin Zhongze stared at the monster for three seconds.

The next moment, the monster’s information appeared in his eyes.

Demonic Corpse: Level 1. HP 100, Attack: 8, Defense 5, Agility 10, Skill—Infection (If scratched, it will be infected with corpse poison, losing double the attack value in HP per second for 5 seconds, Cooldown 120 seconds)...

At this moment, Xin Zhongze saw a few people holding weapons, slowly walking towards the outside of the village.

Under everyone’s gaze, the few people had just left the village entrance not far away.

Roar! Roar! Roar!

Suddenly, more than a dozen nearby Demonic Corpses seemed to have suddenly discovered them and roared as they charged towards them.

“Holy crap!”

Seeing such a situation, many people couldn’t help but exclaim.

The few people who had left the village quickly retreated, returning inside the village.

Bang! The Demonic Corpse’s speed was very fast, but just as they were about to get close to the people, they suddenly stopped in place as if they had lost their target.

Just as the Demonic Corpse stopped, a barrier-like object suddenly appeared in front of Xin Zhongze, the barrier was very large, almost covering the entire Novice Village.

Three seconds later, the barrier’s information also appeared in his eyes.

Energy Barrier: Countdown 23 hours 36 minutes 45 seconds.

Seeing this barrier countdown, Xin Zhongze guessed that the barrier could probably last for one day.

Doesn’t this mean that after one day, the Novice Village will no longer be safe?

“This monster’s speed is so fast!” Xu Muyan on the side couldn’t help but exclaim.

“The Demonic Corpse’s speed reached 10 points, so it’s naturally fast.” Xin Zhongze nodded.

“Demonic Corpse? Are you talking about the monsters outside?” Xu Muyan asked in surprise.

“If you stare at a monster for three seconds, you can see its information.” Xin Zhongze told Xu Muyan.

“Oh, I’ll check.” Xu Muyan nodded.

A moment later.

“No, there’s no monster information at all.”

“No way?”

“Brother, are you sure you can see the monster’s information?” A person nearby asked Xin Zhongze.

Hearing this, Xin Zhongze retorted, “You can’t see it?”

“I can’t see it.”

“Me neither.”

“Me too, could it be that you, brother, can see monster information?”

People nearby looked at Xin Zhongze with surprised eyes.

Hearing this, Xin Zhongze immediately realized that it seemed only he could see the monster’s information, and no one else could.

“Then can you all see the energy barrier outside?” Xin Zhongze asked the people nearby.

“Barrier? What barrier?”

Hearing this, Xin Zhongze finally confirmed that other people couldn’t see the Novice Village’s monster information or the energy barrier at all.

“Brother, what did you see? Can you tell us?”

Hearing this, Xin Zhongze thought for a moment and decided to tell everyone what he saw.

Perhaps the information he provided could help more people survive.

Additionally, he wasn’t afraid of others knowing his ability, as he could only see item information.

Moreover, even if someone left the game, they would lose their memory of the game, so he didn’t need to care.

“You mean, the Novice Village is currently protected by a huge barrier, and the barrier only lasts for one day?”

“Yes, to be precise, there are only 23 hours and 39 minutes left.”

Hearing Xin Zhongze’s words, someone immediately said, “This means our idea of staying in the village and not going out won’t work. We must go out and kill monsters, otherwise, after one day, when the barrier is gone, we will still be attacked by monsters.”

“Could it be that the reason the survival rate in the game world is less than 30% is because many people don’t know that the barrier only lasts for one day, leading to such heavy casualties?”

“Possible…”

“Brother, where is the approximate location of the barrier? Perhaps we can use the barrier to safely kill monsters.” Someone asked Xin Zhongze.

“Right there at the nearest Demonic Corpse.” Xin Zhongze pointed to the closest Demonic Corpse.

“I’ll try and see if I can stand inside the barrier and attack the monster.” Seeing the monster Xin Zhongze pointed to, someone immediately rushed towards the monster.

Soon, that person arrived near the monster, but the monster seemed to not notice him at all.

Puff!

The next moment, the Wooden Sword stabbed directly into the monster’s head.

-5.

Roar! Roar!

Suddenly attacked, the monster immediately let out an angry roar.

However, it couldn’t find anyone at all.

Just as the monster roared after being attacked, the person’s attack did not stop.

In less than two minutes, the monster’s health bar was cleared, and it became a corpse.

“Holy crap, it really works.”

Seeing such a situation, many people couldn’t help but exclaim in surprise.

“In that case, we can totally lure the monsters to the edge of the barrier and fight them.” Someone said with gleaming eyes.

“The barrier only lasts for one day, we must seize the time to level up.”

Seeing that it was indeed possible to kill monsters while standing inside the barrier, everyone became excited.

Soon, others followed suit, starting to lure monsters close to the barrier and then attacking them.

“Let’s go kill monsters too.” Xu Muyan said to Xin Zhongze.

“Okay.”

Xin Zhongze nodded.

Because there were too many people at the village entrance, Xin Zhongze directly led Xu Muyan along the barrier in one direction.

Soon, the two arrived at a less crowded place.

“I’ll lure the monsters, you attack.”

Xin Zhongze told Xu Muyan, then left the barrier’s range.

Roar! Roar! Roar!

Seeing Xin Zhongze, more than a dozen nearby monsters quickly rushed over.

Just as the monsters charged close, Xin Zhongze directly flashed into the barrier.

Bang! Bang!…

The monsters immediately crashed against the barrier.

“Attack!” Xin Zhongze told Xu Muyan.

“Okay.”

Xu Muyan nodded, then took out her sword and stabbed at the monsters.
