Do you need help?

"+2 Perseverance"
"You have learned the skill: Break for Me"
Break For Me (Active)(Beginner I Level 1 - 0%): Bring together all the forces to break the snare effects. Success depends on the difference between the levels of the two users. Cost: 10% HP and 10 Hunger Points.
"Break it for Me!!!" Lin Yun shouted with all his might.
crack!!!! crack!!!!
The twisted branches crack before breaking.
Taking advantage of the freedom, Lin Yun leaped up forcefully to kick the brown log with all his power.
PANG!!! PANG!!!!
The passive skill Double Kick has been activated.
Looking from the side, it appeared that Lin Yun had kicked twice at such a high speed that it was not even possible to see it with the naked eye.
The first kick sent Sprout back a few steps, while the second kick knocked Sport to the ground.
The breach was all Lin Yun needed.
PANG!!!! PANG!!!! PANG!!!! PANG!!!!
Using his fists again, a new rain of punches falls on the wooden body lying on the ground.
PANG!!!!!
The final blow was delivered directly to Sprout's torso.
The creature let out an agonized scream before turning into lights and disappearing, leaving only a few bronze coins, a ring, and five pieces of wood.
ding… ding…
"You level up"
"You level up"
Without worrying about the drops, Lin Yun fell to the ground panting, the fight just moments ago was very dangerous and difficult.
If not for the sudden skill he received, death was certain.
"That was amazing!!!!! So this is what the main characters feel when acquiring a new skill at the most critical moments? It is very good." The young man grabbed the items before they could disappear, and fell to the ground as he looked up, seeing only faint lights and shadows from the tall trees.
"You received: 27 Copper Coins"
"You received: 10 Firewood"
"You have received: 1 Root Ring"
"You have received: 1 Rotten Wood Fragment"
"My first battle ended in victory, but I will not have the same luck again. Today was a great learning experience" The young man rested for a while before continuing to fight the Little Sprouts for firewood. He didn't even bother looking at the drops picked up earlier.
…
Two days later…
Lin Yun stayed in this part of the forest fighting the Little Sprouts for only one day due to working time at the fast food restaurant.
As the time in the game is twice as fast, ten hours outside was the equivalent of twenty hours, so there was only one more day left to complete the first quest.
Even so, the amount of firewood that Lin Yun picked up was enough to make the character so heavy that he could no longer run, just walk, which became a big problem during the return journey.
As more Little Sprouts emerge and more firewood is collected.
The weight in the inventory became so heavy that Lin Yun could only walk slower than a turtle, each step seemed like an eternity to take.
A somewhat funny scene.
To make matters worse, the Little Sprout is crawling behind him, and they are faster, so Lin Yun is attacked from all sides.
Fortunately, its weight was so high that the roots weren't even strong enough to hold it down.
The damage is also minimal and would take more than a day to kill.
This scene was very comical.
Lin Yun didn't have the money to buy a Return Scroll, so the only alternative was to walk back a long distance.
The other possibility is to be killed, but it seems impossible in the current situation.
The young man walked for about half an hour, but he didn't even get close to Ashton Village.
"Hey!!! You need help???!!!" Someone shouted at him.
"I appreciate the offer, but it's not necessary."
"But I insist on helping" The other side spoke in a mocking voice.
BOOOOOOOM!!!!!!!!!!!
A large flaming meteor fell right where Lin Yun was.
It was so sudden that he didn't even have a chance to defend himself.
The meteor's fall caused a huge explosion, resulting in flames everywhere and a large crater on the ground.
When it was all over, Lin Yun was no longer seen, nor was the Little Sprouts behind him. He returned to Ashton Village after being killed.
In the central square…
"FUCK!!!!! That guy killed me" The young man said, irritated, but not that angry.
Getting killed is the easiest way to get back to where the players started when they are too far away.
"I think it's better to buy some Return Scrolls to avoid this problem, but this village doesn't have any NPC sales, I think I need to ask one of them to send it to me by mail" Lin Yun opened the friends' window, seeing that the other three were online, he sent a message to the one inside the city.
The other side sent ten Return Scrolls and an angry message because Lin Yun chose one of the worst places to start the game, where there is nothing to buy or sell, just fight and do quests.
Lin Yun wasn't bothered by those words because he decided to start in a more remote location with fewer players, so it's more resources for those who harvest it.
"I think this is the place to deliver the firewood"
The young man stood in front of a type of cabin with a sign saying, warehouse.
ting… ting…
The doorbell rang.
"What did you bring?" A hoarse and old voice echoed from inside, in an instant, a white-haired old man with semi-transparent skin, and thin and wrinkled skin appeared on the other side. But unlike Lin Yun, this old man didn't seem to have much blood in his body.
"I brought firewood"
Around three hundred pieces of wood were piled on the ground.
"Three hundred logs of wood. This is equivalent to three Silver Coins."
ding… ding…
"You have received: 3 Silver Coins"
"You level up"
The reward was somewhat shallow for the work he had to do, besides recovering the lost level, there was no substantial gain from doing the quest.
The only thing that counted was the drops from some Sprouts he defeated in the forest.
With the Return Scroll in inventory, completing both quests was easier.
The young man just ran towards the location indicated by the mission and fought until he managed to fill the fruit baskets. The water barrel was filled from the river on the other side of the forest.
It didn't take more than two days to do this.
The reward was as bad as the previous quest, five Silver Coins and two levels.
This time, he didn't die from the attacks because he had the Return Scroll.
