"Dear Lord Yin Si, thank you for your dedication and expectations for our undead clan. But I'm just a feeble little skeleton of level one, and I want to fight with a weapon too! We, the skeleton clan, will also make it into the dark annals of this war! But..." Su Ran sighed, looked down at his fragile bones, shook his bright skull, glanced at Yin Si's expression in his black robe, and continued, "Forgive me, but I'm afraid I'm simply not up to the task!"
Yin Si looked at the wagging little skeleton. He snorted and said, "You clever little skeleton. I know what you're up to but I can't refute it. I just got something from you, and now I have to give it back to you. Fine, for the rise and glory of our skeleton clan, here, take this stuff!"
What?
Did I hear that correctly?!
Wow, acting pitiful can really get me stuff!
Wahaha~!
Seeing Yin Si threw something at him, Su Ran happily caught it. The object felt like a long cold nail.
[Bone Nail] (Bone Category) (Black Iron)
Magic Attack: 10
Durability: 300
Required Level: 10.
Special Skill: Magic Strengthening - Magic Attack +10.
No level restrictions, ignores defenses.
Note: It's a novice item, no matter how extraordinary, it's still not much to speak of.
Awful, it's just black iron equipment, so mysterious, I thought it was something good!
Huh? Special skill!
After checking the attributes, Su Ran immediately fell in love with this rusty nail.
No level restrictions!
This means I can equip the Bone Nail at level 1 and it also ignores defenses. Even though the added attack isn't high, it still deals real damage!
Well, that's not bad~ Novice Village, just wait for me to beat you~ Hahaha!
The little skeleton was suddenly filled with fighting spirit, he straitened his spine and said to Yin Si in the black robe, "Respected Lord Yin Si, with this Bone Nail, I'm now confident that I can fight. Please permit me to join the battle now!"
"Hehe, don't worry," the black-robed Yin Si gradually disappeared into the Tomb of the Underworld and a voice came out, "Those hundred Tombs of the Undead still need your shovel to awaken them. Also, I need a lot of Underworld Coins."
"Oh, and don't forget to cover my grave. It's cold at night."
...
Like a shot of adrenaline, Su Ran charged towards the surrounding graves, digging every grave he saw, without a hint of fatigue. He didn't know how many graves he had dug and how many zombies and corpse soldiers he had created. These lovable, cute creatures were all thrown into the attacking side of the village.
Meanwhile, in Novice Village—
"Ah, it's getting dark. Do you think these zombies are bluffing?" a new player has gotten impatient.
"Go away! Would the system gods lie to people?" another player brushed him off, "They might have just gotten the date wrong."
"I think so too. Look at how peaceful and relaxed our Novice Village is!"
"Why don't we ask our big boss, Ni Wudao?"
"I think so, let's go! I just saw him repairing his weapons in the blacksmith's shop nearby!"
As soon as the words were out, four or five players gathered into a group and ran towards the blacksmith's shop in the village center.
"Ni Wudao, the expert!" "Big boss Ni!" "Brother Wudao!" "Oppa!"
"Calm down! Have you no shame!" Ni Wudao, who had just walked out of the blacksmith's shop, looked up and saw that there were quite a few players rushing towards him. Hmm, not bad, not bad. They considered him as the village leader. He adjusted his clothing, cleared his throat, and continued, "Don't worry, don't worry. Whatever it is, just tell me slowly!"
Just then, a charming female player walked out of the clothing store around the corner. She was dressed in a fiery red suit, her hair tied into a ponytail and tossed casually behind her head. Her rebellious image made her even more striking. The players looked carefully and realized that the visitor was Hua Yan, a high-ranking player.
"Hua Yan MM" "Big Flower!" "Hua Yan, the expert!" "Oppa!"
The players quickly ignored Ni Wudao and rushed towards the female player Hua Yan at the corner.
Ni Wudao stiffened and an awkward atmosphere descended. He spit out in annoyance and turned to leave.
"Do you have something to say?" Hua Yan asked in a perplexed voice, her voice very crisp.
"Big Flower, do you think the system made a mistake in time? Why has it been so long and the monsters haven't attacked the village yet?"
"Exactly, we've lost all our enthusiasm for defending the village since the zombies haven't come for so long."
"A few more hours and we won't be able to play. We don't have enough resources."
Hua Yan listened quietly to the players' complaints, and her clear forehead wrinkled.
"What else is there to worry about? They're demanding guarding the city. Isn't this fooling us?" A domineering voice came from the side, "We might as well go straight out and slaughter them~!"
"Huh?"
The players turned to look at the speaker, their eyes lighting up.
It turned out to be Ni Wudao, the high-ranking player who had just slipped away. He was nonchalantly wiping his big knife, and then mumbled with his head down, "The attackers are just low-level novice monsters, what's there to fear?!"
"Oh yeah!" A player suddenly slapped his thigh.
"How did I not think of that!"
"Ni Wudao is powerful indeed! Ni Wudao, when do we attack?"
"I swear I'll follow Ni Wudao till death!"
More and more players gathered around, crowding around Ni Wudao, making him the focus once again.
"Everyone, calm down!" Hua Yan said solemnly: "This is a new type of online gaming mode. There must be a reason why the system asked us to guard the village. Although the 'Sinister Grave Ridge' in front of us is a novice map, the area is misty and obstructs vision. Who wants to level up there besides those with missions?
"Also, I have been to that terrain before. It was full of graves and there were no monsters at all. Who would have thought that so many zombies would refresh there to attack the village? All this reveals the strange and unknown. I suggest we unite and defend the Novice Village. After all, we have supplies and perimeter fences in our village. We shouldn't give up this advantage."
"Get real, Hua Yan!" Ni Wudao disdainfully lifted his beloved giant knife and swung his middle finger left and right, "Women are just troublesome and indecisive! Brothers, if you are real men, fight the zombies with me for three rounds!"
"Me!" "Me!" "And me!"
The ambiance was fired up at Ni Wudao's roar. With red eyes, the players shouted loudly they wanted to go. After all, the point of playing online games is to have a good time. Any amount of garbage monsters, like zombies, wouldn't be an issue! Especially under the lead of Ni Wudao, a high-ranking player!
Who is Ni Wudao? He's a high-attack berserker on the leaderboard!
Seeing this, Hua Yan just shook her head, words would be wasted. She turned around and left for the village chief's house.
"Charge, comrades, for glory, kill all those zombies! Rewards, experience will just be rolling in!" Ni Wudao shouted excitedly nonstop. The echo of his voice was an exhilarating feeling. Wasn't this the life of the top ten gang leaders? Hahaha!
"Comrades! Let's go!"
A group of people, led by Ni Wudao, charged out of the Novice Village, and marched grandly towards the zombie graveyard—'Sinister Grave Ridge.'
