Potholes

Death is undoubtedly an extremely terrible thing, and everyone comes to the virtual world more for the purpose of entertainment, where someone is ready to meet death.

Due to the lack of psychological preparation, coupled with the fact that the monsters prepared by Matthew for the players were too powerful and exceeded everyone's expectations, many people were directly subjected to huge psychological stimulation and were a little sluggish for a while.

"This is different from what I expected! Shouldn't I kill monsters like slaughtering chickens, get experience points, and directly become a full-time wizard priest, and go to the pinnacle of life? Why can't I even pull a pig hair off?"

More importantly, death in the virtual world is not without losses.

When players enter the virtual world, a large part of their soul essence is also converted into data and imported into the virtual world, if this part of the soul is greatly traumatized, the player himself will be directly mentally retarded, and in serious cases, he may lose his name.

Matthew has taken this into account and has set up strict protection measures so that the players' souls will not really be irreversibly damaged. However, death in the virtual world can also shake their souls.

It is no longer possible to continue the game, and the dead player will be kicked out of the virtual world, and it will take them a full day in the real world to recover their souls. What's more, death itself can also bring a lot of pain, and many people will feel severe pain in the brain after experiencing the bitter fruits of death, which is unbearable.

This series of serious consequences directly made everyone sober up, experience points are not so easy to get, even in the virtual world, there is nothing to get for nothing.

Everyone calmed down and began to seriously think about how to deal with the new changes in the virtual world, what kind of strategy should be formulated to deal with those powerful monsters in order to win.

At this time, people who really have the will to fight and the talent to fight will slowly stand out.

The strength of the monster makes the process of the battle full of crisis and suffering, not everyone can have a firm will to resist all the bad stimuli brought by the battle, more people, will try to avoid difficulties, and eventually end up in mediocrity.

For a while, players no longer blindly walked out of the novice village, but began to ponder and prepare.

Matthew also opened the "cultivation system" in a timely manner, he screened out some basic combat skills from his database, and opened them to all players for free, so that everyone can learn, and the virtual world has also begun to release the power authority, and players can improve their strength level and break through their physical limits through gradual cultivation.

"Basic Sword Skills", "Basic Dao Method", "Basic Footwork", "Basic Breathing Method", etc., these physical skills were originally the secret of many knight families to maintain their rule, but at this moment, they were all broken by Matthew and supplied for free.

For many players with bad backgrounds, this knowledge is advanced knowledge that they can't access originally, and they are not taught in the current education system of the wizarding world.

The whole virtual world set off a small boom in martial arts, and after going out to fight monsters and encountering setbacks, everyone clearly realized their own shortcomings and the strength of their opponents. Strengthening one's own cultivation and exchanging one's strength for improvement through hard work is undoubtedly a broad road.

However, even in the virtual world, Matthew did not use the system to reduce the difficulty of cultivation, and for players, the cultivation of these martial arts is also an extremely time-consuming and energy-consuming work, and it will not have a particularly large effect in a short time.

With the increase of content in the virtual world, players began to gradually differentiate, driven by their personalities and concepts, and everyone began to gradually move towards different development routes.

Among them, the choice of Zoloth is very different.

Zoloth is the son of the earl, the heir of a large knight family, and an out-and-out knight genius, only 17 years old, Zolos uses the family tradition of knight cultivation techniques, and through hard practice, he is already a strong man of the mid-level knight apprentice.

If it weren't for Matthew's colonization plan that would spread throughout the world, Drode would have become a powerful knight, supremacy within the kingdom, and push the family's glory to the pinnacle.

However, with the spread of wizard power, it was natural that Droros would not be able to follow the path he had originally taken.

Fortunately, through the exchange of interests with the government, the family of Zoloth still obtained a high position in the new government, and his own authority level has steadily increased.

In the process of promoting the virtual world, Zoloth was able to exchange for equipment for the first time and became the first batch of players.

In the process of the first wave of players rushing out of the novice village to kill monsters, Zoloth successfully got out of the battlefield with his combat talent, and did not suffer any losses, but instead gained a slight advantage in the competition with others.

After the "cultivation system" was opened, Zoloth had a hunch that perhaps his original excellent knightly talent would have a new use.

He spent all the virtual currency he had accumulated for the first time, exchanging "basic footwork" and "basic swordsmanship", with his own knightly experience, Zolos in a short period of time, these basic skills were integrated, so that his combat has been greatly improved.

However, in the absence of equipment support, it is still difficult for Zoro to compete with the powerful wild boars outside the novice village.

It is undoubtedly very unwise to directly use force to confront, but after comprehending the "basic footwork", Drolos's mobility ability has greatly increased, and some tactical formulations have come into play.

Breaking away from the other players, Zoro stepped into the wilderness outside of the novice village on his own, weaving through the mountains, carefully avoiding the dangerous boars that roamed the jungle and constantly surveying the terrain.

In the case of insufficient force value, Zoloth intends to use the geographical advantage to create the conditions for victory.

Finally, after he went around and around the area of the novice village for more than a dozen kilometers, he finally chose a favorable terrain.

Under an inconspicuous cliff, a natural pit was formed between the rocks, more than five meters deep, and the diameter of the cave entrance was only less than two meters, and the hole was covered with many vines, covering the cave entrance.

It was also by chance that Zoros discovered this hole, and by using this terrain, there was room for his plan to be unleashed.

Around the crater, less than 300 meters away, there is a huge wild boar, but looking at its size, it looks like a baby elephant in the earth world.

Zoros walked out of his hiding place, shook himself in front of the boar, picked up a sharp stone from the ground, and threw it at the boar's head, the edges of which pierced the boar's eyeballs.

Although the wild boar was not substantially harmed due to the difference in strength and physique between the two sides, the huge pain directly aroused the wild boar's anger.

It howled and rushed at Zloth, its eyes red and its sharp fangs glinting with a cold light, and if it was touched by this fang, Dro Loth would have to be kicked out of the game and return a day later.
