After burying the deceased player, the group decided not to continue following the yellow circle on the ground and instead, started preparing to enter the abandoned houses one by one, dealing with any lurking Wanderers inside.
However, before they could head in, Shen Congfei stopped them.
"Just to be safe, break into separate groups."
He knew that they all chose different combat professions and powered-up, but their circumstances differed from his own.
For him, as an NPC, whatever profession points and abilities he received were directly infused into his body and mind.
But as players, they were controlling characters, not themselves.
This meant that the players needed to constantly control their characters and train their skills for them to improve.
For the players, skill proficiency became essential.
For him, skill proficiency was just part of the leveling process.
After finalizing the groupings, he teamed up with Xia Wei to explore the other houses.
