In the dormitory, four girls were discussing the God Forsaken game.
Chu Yan, a short-haired girl and Yang Shung's best friend, was packing and saying, "It's said that people in the same area will appear in the same novice town if they fall asleep at the same time. I need to go back and take care of my parents... They've never played the game, and I'm afraid they won't adapt."
One girl sighed, "Don't get involved too much. We can level up first, then take care of them."
Another girl with glasses nodded, "Yes, yes. We need to focus on ourselves first."
Yang Shung glanced at her phone.
She was waiting for an apology from Yang Shung.
But there was no news from him yet.
This made her even more annoyed.
"Why hasn't he apologized yet? Why's he so arrogant?"
But it was impossible for her to apologize to him first.
Yang Shung felt she wasn't wrong to skip the exam and go to Song Fei's concert.
In her mind, Song Fei's concert was rare, and how could it compare to a mere exam?
"If I miss an exam, I can retake it. But if I miss the concert, that's it."
"At least Chu Yan came with me, and it was the closest I've been to him."
Yang Shung smiled thinking about Song Fei.
Song Fei's words "I miss you" at the concert kept replaying in her mind...
"I wonder when Brother Song Fei will enter the game."
"With his strength, he'll be amazing in the game!"
It was funny.
Most of the guys in Yang Shung's mind were now Song Fei, not Yang Shung...
Yang Shung didn't know this yet.
In the past life, Yang Shung had come to the school, found Yang Shung, apologized, and entered the game with her.
But now...
Things would be different because of Yang Shung's choice.
In the past life, even though Yang Shung didn't come immediately after receiving the news, he always sent messages and apologized.
But this time, Yang Shung didn't care about her at all!
Apologize? Not happening.
So.
Yang Shung might enter the game earlier this time.
But what does that have to do with Yang Shung?
Suddenly, Chu Yan looked at her phone and said in surprise: "Sisters, look! Zhang Wei reached level 3 and came out of the game!"
Yang Shung was a little surprised: "So strong? If he's level 3 now, he's definitely a big shot!"
After speaking, she tagged Zhang Wei in their WeChat group.
Zhang Wei, the boy who'd fallen asleep in class.
After appearing in the group, Zhang Wei became the talk of the class.
Yang Shung: "@Zhang Wei, got any tips for me?"
Zhang Wei blushed at the attention, especially Yang Shung's message made him feel good.
Wasn't this a perfect chance to impress her?
Yang Shung usually came off as tough, but now she was talking to him.
So, Zhang Wei started chatting with Yang Shung privately and bragged about his skills...
"Don't worry, Shung, once someone in the town hits level 5, the teleportation array will light up."
"Then we can teleport between towns."
"Find a good town, form a team, and level up. After that, I'll find you and help you get ahead!"
"Also, a secret... when you start, put all your attribute points into agility. Otherwise, you'll be too slow and monsters will beat you up."
Yang Shung was a little confused by Zhang Wei's message.
She asked, "What if I'm a magician? Do I still need to boost agility?"
Zhang Wei replied confidently: "Yes. Agility helps with casting speed, especially important in the early game."
Yang Shung: "Got it."
Looking at Yang Shung's cute avatar, Zhang Wei felt flattered and imagined himself with her.
But what he didn't know was that in Yang Shung's eyes, only "Brother Song Fei" mattered.
She wasn't interested in anyone else. To her, they were just tools to help her level up.
Yang Shung sneered thinking of Yang Shung:
"He doesn't apologize, huh? Fine, I'll go level up and wait for Zhang Wei to come help me."
"Let's see how many levels you'll be when you enter the game."
She figured with a big shot leading her, her level-up speed would be quick!
But little did she know, Yang Shung was already level 5!
If Zhang Wei was a big shot, what was Yang Shung?
...
The teleportation array in the novice town worked both ways.
So lighting up one town's array wasn't enough. Another town needed to have a player reach level 5 too.
This was why Yang Shung didn't rush to activate the teleportation array.
Plus, Yang Shung had other plans—level 10 and then to the main city. That's where the real game would begin!
"Still, teleporting between towns for free..."
"Where is Song Fei's town again?"
Yang Shung thought while effortlessly killing monsters in the dark woods.
In the past life, Yang Shung knew Song Fei was in a specific town and had tried to stop Yang Shung from visiting him.
Thanks to Yang Shung, Song Fei's fan club had helped track down Song Fei's town.
"Isn't it called... Firefly Town?"
"Alright, I'll wait for Firefly Town to upgrade, then I'll hunt Song Fei every time I see him."
Yang Shung's eyes burned with hatred.
The real hunt would come later!
Yang Shung glanced at the Shell Town rankings.
He was the only one at level 6.
The others were still stuck at level 3.
Waiting for other towns to reach level 5 so the teleportation can work would take a while.
"Keep killing monsters."
Instant Shadow Slash!
-754!
-754!
-754!
...
Monsters that other players would find terrifying were instantly killed by Yang Shung, dropping experience, life, and loot!
In the real world, Jianghai City.
After Wang Meng returned to reality, he hurried to the bureau to report.
"What? You said someone in Shell Town is level 5 already? And solo?"
"His code name is 'Shadow'?"
"Level 5 now? That's the top player in the world!"
The senior officials in the bureau were shocked at Wang Meng's report!
