dy reached level fifteen?” Lin Feng, finally managing to intercept his beloved again, was once more shocked by the undeniable truth. Gazing at the level number above his beloved’s head, he was speechless. He felt like he had just lain on the ground for a brief moment, lost in wild thoughts, which shouldn’t have taken more than three minutes!
Xiaoyun’s leveling speed is just too fast, isn’t it? But this once again confirms something: the crazy scene that once played out in the real world seems poised to happen again in this space that looks like a game world, this time in a reality show version of a leveling maniac. Taking a closer look, Xiaoyun’s character was actually a female berserker, a role that many female gamers in online games find unappealing! As the saying goes, “seeing is believing,” the berserker class in the game “Fantasy World” is arguably the most thankless; they have a rough appearance, lack appealing outfit systems, and auxiliary skill systems, always associating with blood and violence, a cannon fodder profession. Male players who enjoy violence might tolerate it, but Xiaoyun choosing this role is quite speechless.
“Why haven’t you accepted the quest yet?” Xiaoyun didn’t answer Lin Feng’s question; instead, she asked him back with a hint of surprise. From her tone, it seemed like if Lin Feng didn’t hurry up and accept the quest, the sky might fall.
Lin Feng gave her a puzzled look: “Are you okay, Xiaoyun?”
“Stop talking nonsense, hurry up and take the beginner’s quest, time’s running out!” Without further ado, Xiaoyun dragged Lin Feng to NPC Li Changgen. She was now a level 15 berserker, dealing with Lin Feng, a level-less whiteboard player, was like picking flowers.
Li Changgen: “I see that you, young man, have a peculiar bone structure and excellent roots, surely a top talent for cultivation. Are you interested in joining our sect for training?” (Yes/No)
“Damn!” Lin Feng grimaced at the always unlikable NPC, Uncle Li Changgen, then turned to Xiaoyun who was monitoring him: “Do we really have to keep playing here?”
Bam! He got a kick in the butt. “How much time did he give you for the quest?” Xiaoyun asked, a bit anxious.
“What?” A black line appeared on Lin Feng’s forehead, threatening to spread. Why couldn’t he understand what she was saying? What kind of problem did this girl have? What quest time? Was there a time limit for beginner quests here? It doesn’t seem to be a setting in the “Fantasy World” game!
Forget it, let’s verify it first. With that in mind, he immediately confirmed with the immortal-looking NPC Daoist Li Changgen.
A crisp sound rang out, and a new unread message appeared in his mind. Following that, Li Changgen spoke again: “You indeed have keen insight, young man! However, although your roots are excellent and you’re a rare cultivation talent, I’m unsure of your disposition. To join our sect, you must pass a test. Now, go to the southeast marsh of the town, kill the wild wolves that harm the villagers’ livestock, collect several wolf skins, and return them. Only then can you formally join our sect for training.”
This scene, Lin Feng had experienced it over a hundred times. Every word, every action of Li Changgen, even the expressions that should appear at certain words, and how many times his eyes blinked, everything was exactly the same.
Lin Feng opened the unread message, which essentially said the same thing, an automated message indicating that the game character had been officially activated and could now be operated normally. He checked every corner of the backend control interface again but found no mention of the quest time Xiaoyun had mentioned.
Ignoring Li Changgen’s urging to hurry up with the quest, Lin Feng, after confirming once more, cautiously asked Xiaoyun: “Xiaoyun, are you sure there’s a time limit notification?”
“What’s wrong? You don’t have one?” Xiaoyun grabbed Lin Feng’s arms anxiously, “Feng, my leveling speed is too slow this time. It seems impossible to reach the full level within the one-hour limit. If I don’t reach the supreme full level, I won’t be able to accumulate enough prestige!”
Lin Feng was getting frustrated: “What nonsense are you talking about? Reaching the full level in an hour? Your character needs to reach the supreme berserker level in an hour?”
“Yeah! Why are you making such a fuss?”
“Making a fuss? You might as well seduce the GMs to change your stats directly from the backend! Reaching the top level from a beginner in an hour, that’s not even that broken!”
“You bastard, you just want to see me fail and get punished by the system!”
“System punishment? What on earth is that?” Lin Feng was increasingly baffled by Xiaoyun’s words. What’s this about system punishment? How did this come up?
Seeing the situation, it seemed like Xiaoyun was playing a different game than he was. Could it be that her odd ID was actually being manipulated by someone?
“You naughty scoundrel, you must be behind all this mischief! If I fail, I’ll have to go into a cave with you, you jerk, and you’re still in the mood for fooling around!”
Xiaoyun punched Lin Feng hard in the back. She was now several levels higher than him, and this gentle punch, meant to flirt with her lover, sent Lin Feng flying.
Lin Feng groaned as he got up: “You murderous wife! You hit so hard!” He moved his body, thankfully not fatally injured, but his health bar had already dropped by two-thirds. He quickly rummaged through his inventory for the system’s complimentary small red potion to drink. He didn’t want to experience what dying would feel like in this ghost-like game space. If he died here for no reason, that would be the ultimate injustice.
“I’m messing with what? Getting married in this ghost place? You’re talking nonsense. What kind of bizarre quest did you get?”
Seeing that Lin Feng didn’t seem to be lying, Xiaoyun also felt a bit regretful and said, “Didn’t Li Changgen tell you that if you don’t reach the supreme level within an hour, you’d have to marry yourself to the big demon monster that wants to take over the town? Oh, and for men, they get sent to be the demon’s male concubine.”
“What a mess! I thought you set this up to force me to marry you! I’m not some big demon monster.”
“But aren’t you the real master of this space? Isn’t manipulating things here easy for you?”
“Am I that despicable?”
