Chapter 149: 54. Some people are still struggling with challenges, while others have already reached the peak of their life_1

In Cardman City, a group of rookie players who had just entered the game were resting around the defense line of the militia led by Commander Maxim.

All the players, including Sister Pomegranate, the "Chosen Woman" with four character specialties, were in a miserable state. From the original twenty-four players, only nineteen were left.

Just now, the black snow in the city suddenly increased, like a strange omen that led to a sudden counterattack by the desperate creatures. Five rookie players were caught off guard and drowned in the sea of monsters.

If it weren’t for Maxim’s rescue, the remaining players would have had a hard time retreating alive.

"You guys were too reckless!"

Maxim, holding the Calculating Pearl, scolded the rookie players before him:

"With your power, you shouldn’t be anywhere near here! You indeed have courage, but your sacrifices should be more valuable! Your lives belong to Sir Morphy, and you just wasted his time.

Go to the safe zone in the rear and hone yourselves. Come back after you have mastered real combat skills."

Having said that, Maxim turned and left without hesitation.

The rookie players didn’t mind being scolded by the NPC.

They just felt that the NPC was warning them that their current character level of 1-2 indeed did not allow them to have their way in the "Monster Wilderness" in front of them.

In other words, wasn’t it normal for a few people to die when a low-level character mistakenly entered a high-level map?

"This real battlefield is not the same as the Combat Team War."

The leader of the Combat quad, "Roar of the Lion in Hedong", said to his two brothers:

"We indeed need more practice, but did anyone pick up Doggie’s dog tag and Calculating Pearl? We can’t afford to get him a new one right now."

"We picked them up. Doggie dropped them when he died."

"Tiger Roar of Shannan" responded, glancing at the Tiger Leopard Riders brothers nearby. They were too eager to charge because of their numbers, and as a result, four of the five players who died were from their side.

"Let’s just focus on collecting quests and elevate our swordsmanship to expert level."

The third brother, "Chuanxi Wolf", rubbed his stubble-covered face and told his brothers:

"Tomorrow, let Stick Brother guide us. But that Sister Pomegranate is so powerful. I saw her soloing three monsters and saving two NPCs. We’re all level 1 characters. Why is she so good?"

"She has four character specialties. If she wasn’t good, then the balance of this game would be ruined."

Lion Roar snorted, got up, and patted the dust off his pants, saying:

"We can’t be envious. Our combined character attributes are all the same; there is no balance-breaking.

As for her specialties, she trained them herself. I dare say that if we met her in reality, even if she was holding a clothes-drying rod, she could take us three down by herself.

As men, if we are not as skilled as others, we must admit it!

No sour words.

Go, go, go. Let’s scavenge in the ruins first and find some wine to boost our reputation with Lady Cui Si."

"Heh, you’re right. This damned game is really interesting."

Brother Two and Brother Three got up and followed their big brother toward the safer ruins while chatting:

"I think our offline training can be done online. It’s not only realistic, but we don’t have to worry about bleeding so we can go all out."

"Nonsense, online training can improve technique but not muscles, so offline training is still necessary. We should give it our all for the next two months and then go abroad to compete. I have a hunch that if we can beat Maxim before the competition, we can definitely make a big upset in the competition!"

While the Combat brothers left, the Tiger Leopard Riders, who had lost four people in one go, were ready to leave the frontline position in a dejected manner. The few remaining school kid players looked at each other, not planning to waste time here anymore.

But Sister Pomegranate was full of enthusiasm.

Especially after everyone left, she picked up her Swift Sword and went to Maxim, translated with her Calculating Pearl:

"Mr. Maxim, I want to have a match with you!"

"Huh?"

Maxim had already been very tired after going in and out of the "Monster Wilderness" three times today.

But seeing the warrior girl with an impressive demeanor challenging him, he suddenly became interested, got up, stretched his shoulder, and said:

"If it’s a challenge, I won’t show mercy, Warrior! But you don’t seem to be good at using a sword, so, use the weapon you’re best at."

"Uh..."

Sister Pomegranate shrugged her shoulders, dropped the sword, clenched her fists, and assumed a standard boxing stance. Seeing this, Maxim also promptly dropped his sword, balled his fists, and prepared for close combat.

Though he had always been learning Vulture swordsmanship, the training of the Blood Servant soldiers also included hand-to-hand combat. He wasn’t afraid of this fist to fist fight.

"Western boxing, huh."

Sister Pomegranate narrowed her eyes at the NPC’s move, then, grinning, thought to herself that the game was well designed in such details.

She didn’t care much about the plot or equipment since she hadn’t played many games before. Now, due to her professional habits, she instantly recognized the genre of the NPC’s movements.

It was spot on.

When it came to motion capture, she was indeed willing to call this game the best!

In the rear of the battlefield, a curious school kid player watched the intense close combat between Sister Pomegranate and the white-haired NPC, his eyes full of envy.
