A few days later, in an inconspicuous inn in the Town of Beginnings.
"Yo, Shang Shan, you're back with your team again. Did you get anything good this time?”
The NPC owner of the inn warmly greeted Osamu Uesugi. For the guests who stayed in his inn for a long time, he would temporarily access the data to facilitate a more natural interaction with the players, so that it would not be too awkward.
However, Osamu Uesugi's ears grew calluses after hearing the boss's words.
Ever since the first night, the few people in the party had experienced the first battle. It was as if some strange switch had been turned on, and they had a crazy obsession with grinding monsters in the practice area.
Every day, these people would wake up in bed, pick up their weapons, and rush to the grassland in the west. They would fight the wandering wild monsters indiscriminately. They would farm during the day and at night. Other than the necessary food and rest, they would brandish their weapons almost non-stop.
Under the protection of Osamu Uesugi and Diabel, the two closed beta players, grinding monsters in the normal server was basically not dangerous at all.
With his team members so enthusiastic, Osamu Uesugi could not refuse. In just a few days, the strength of this eight-man team had improved significantly.
The ordinary members had all reached Level Four. Jimmy and Miles had managed to reach Level Five with their brute force, while Diabel had also improved to Level Six. However, the most terrifying one was Osamu Uesugi, who had already reached Level Seven.
Even though the party members were grinding monsters in the normal area together and the experience was pathetically little, with his powerful physical fitness, Osamu Uesugi basically achieved the miracle of fighting for 24 hours. The numerous Berserk Wild Boars provided him with a lot of experience, allowing him to level up almost one level per day.
In addition, he had accepted some special quests, and the rewards given by the NPCs were quite generous. Therefore, Uesugi Shuu had always been relatively patient.
However, the more he progressed, the more difficult it became. For example, after killing monsters for an entire day, the experience bar on Uesugi Osamu's personal interface barely moved.
Looking at the experience bar that had only risen a little, Osamu Uesugi knew that he had to go to a higher-level training area. The training area next to the town could no longer meet his leveling requirements.
Fortunately, the morale of his team was high and their strength was decent. Coupled with the tacit understanding they had formed during this period of time, it might not be impossible for them to fight.
"Ahem, then, quiet down. Let's start today's meeting.”
The eight members of the team were gathered in Osamu Uesugi's room. This was the team meeting that Osamu Uesugi requested every day. On one hand, it was to summarize the rewards they had received and guide them on their mistakes in battle. On the other hand, it also played a role in gathering the hearts of the people.
It could be said that Osamu Uesugi's power was becoming more and more profound in the hearts of the team members. Hearing their team leader's words, Miles quickly withdrew his hand from Jimmy's head.
"Everyone has performed very well these few days, especially Jimmy and Miles. If you don't count me, they've improved the fastest. Everyone has to learn from them.”
Hearing Osamu Uesugi's praise, Miles and Jimmy both smiled. From their initial fear of going out, to now being able to fight monsters without a change in expression, even they themselves could not believe that there would be such a big change.
Thinking of this, everyone showed their due respect to Osamu Uesugi. If Osamu Uesugi hadn't helped them back then, they would probably be living a life worse than death in this real game world.
" However, we shouldn't be too proud. I believe everyone can feel that this ordinary training area is no longer suitable for us, so..."
"That's why we're heading towards the northern forest.”
Diabel took the opportunity to continue the conversation and showed the marked area on the map to everyone.
"Although this is only the outermost part of the forest, there is an elite wild monster leading the group. There are not many other wild monsters here, so it is a very good hunting spot.”
Diabel pointed at the light spots on the map. This was the result he and Osamu Uesugi had obtained after rushing to the north overnight to investigate. Then, he sent the information of the target wild monster to the party members.
Lizardman Overlord
Level: 7 Weapon: Scimitar [Special characteristics: ]
There wasn't much information on the screen, and it wasn't Osamu Uesugi and the other two's fault. There was really nothing much to study about these low-level wild monsters, and there wasn't much to pay attention to. They just needed to be careful and brave. This was also why Osamu Uesugi dared to choose this place.
Although this miniboss was level 7, the same level as Osamu Uesugi, under normal circumstances, players would have to be at least one or two levels higher than the wild monsters to be able to defeat them. This was because the monsters 'attributes and HP were set to be much higher than the players.
Therefore, Osamu Uesugi had taken a certain risk. However, the level of the Lizardmen led by the Lizardman Lord was not high. Even the ordinary members of the party could easily deal with them. The key was whether Osamu Uesugi could deal with the Lizardman Lord himself.
"It looks easy to deal with."
"That's right, that's right. If it was the captain, he would definitely be able to kill him easily.”
After briefly understanding the Lizardman Lord's information, the team members were all very confident in Uesugi Osamu, as if they did not take this Elite wild monster seriously.
"Alright, your mission tomorrow is to hold back the ordinary Lizardmen around you. Don't worry, Diabel will help you hold the line from behind. If there's no problem, you can disband.”
Turning off the screen that was used to display the map, the six team members walked out of the small room one after another, leaving only Uesugi Osamu and Diablo behind.
"Shang Shan, are you really confident? That's a level seven wild monster."
A hint of worry appeared in Diabel's eyes. With his experience in the closed beta, he knew how powerful an Elite monster was. As for Osamu Uesugi, who had become a good friend, he naturally did not want to see him die in vain.
"No problem, Diablo. You still don't trust my strength? Just don't come and steal my kills.”
Osamu Uesugi teased him with a smile. His relaxed tone made Diabel heave a sigh of relief.
"Then we'll see your performance tomorrow.”
After saying that, Diabel also stood up and left Uesugi Osamu's room.
····································
the next day
Uesugi's team set off for the forest in the north. They had carefully maintained their weapons and were filled with antidotes and health potions. Osamu Uesugi was not afraid of spending money. According to Diabel's calculations, the money earned from this operation was enough for all of them to buy new equipment.
Soon, the shadow of the dense forest appeared in everyone's sight. Walking through this forest with an average tree height of more than ten meters, everyone felt an indescribable pressure in their hearts.
"Squeak ~ Squeak ~"
Not far ahead, a squirrel that happened to pass by caught Osamu Uesugi's attention. The cute little animal jumped down from the tree and was about to pick up the food on the ground, but a tall black shadow enveloped its small body.
"Bang!"
A grayish-green foot stepped on Squirrel's body, and his fragile body instantly turned into glass-like fragments in the air.
"Alert!"
Osamu Uesugi, who was the first to discover the wild monster, shouted loudly to remind his teammates. Then, a shieldbearer from the party came to the front of the party and defended.
"Don't be nervous, this is just an ordinary Lizardman. Miles, go deal with him.”
Osamu Uesugi comforted everyone with his words while ordering his teammates to charge forward.
Clang!
Miles, who was at the back of the team, took three steps forward and swung a sledgehammer at the Lizardman. The Lizardman, who did not have time to resist, was thrown into a tree trunk, and the HP bar above his head dropped to the bottom.
As a violent damage dealer, Miles 'giant hammer was very effective. It was almost a one-hit kill for ordinary lizardmen.
Seeing this, the members of the team could not help but heave a sigh of relief. They had a natural fear of unfamiliar environments, but when they saw the Lizardmen's performance, they became bold.
"Truly trash."
Spitting on the ground, Miles raised his weapon and went forward to kill. Although the lizardmen's level was not high, the reward was almost twice that of the manic wild boar.
Then, Miles, who took the initiative to take the front row, led the team forward for another few dozen meters. During this period, he also beat the lizardmen to it, causing the people behind him to be dissatisfied.
However, Osamu Uesugi was no longer in the mood to care about this. They were about to reach their destination, and he had to maintain his best condition to welcome the monster.
Finally, after Miles sent another Lizardman flying, a deafening roar sounded in the forest.
"Come back quickly, Miles. That's the Lizardman Lord.”
Miles knew that he couldn't defeat this kind of elite monster alone without Uesugi Osamu's reminder. He picked up his weapon and quickly returned to the team.
A few seconds later, a Lizardman Lord with a red eye appeared in front of everyone.
