Beach Episode

While the Always Green Village was being looted, there was another team decided to adventure.

Inside a restaurant built by Strawberry Chicken Squad, there is a team discussing their actions beforehand. This restaurant provided slime jelly, wolf meat and goblin meat in different flavours. Although there is not a lot of food on menu, there are still quite a lot of players coming here to relax or discuss matters.

Che Ba Mau: "I think we are all getting bored of fighting monsters nearby the base, right?"

Che Ba Mau looked at her teammates carefully.

Pineapple Pizza: "Yeah… I want to die."

omelet ketchup rice: "And I want to throw up and die."

Healthy Mushroom: "I think we should head outside and adventure for long this time, just like the leader of Strawberry Chicken Squad."

Apple Pie: "Yay! Adventure!"

Carolina Reaper: "I agree. I am already tired of fighting slimes, wolves and goblins. Also, does this game even have boss?"

Chips&Fries: "Yes, if we are higher level. I think boss monsters appear in dungeons starting from level 20."

Carolina Reaper: "Judging from the monster class names, it would seemed like so."

Carolina Reaper used her hand to support her head.

omelet ketchup rice: "So where are we heading? The Strawberry Chicken Squad went East and found another large field of plain instead."

Chips&Fries: "I think we should head South. There is a chance we can head deeper into the forest."

corn & fish maw soup: "I have no other opinion."

Healthy Mushroom: "Same."

Apple Pie: "I will just follow what the group does."

omelet ketchup rice: "Whatever, as long as I don't have to keep grinding the same monsters over and over, then I am fine with that."

Che Ba Mau: "Then it is decided. Let's head South!"

Che Ba Mau slammed on the wooden desk and stood up.

Pineapple Pizza: "Alright! I will be expecting different type of monsters."

Che Ba Mau: "10 minutes to prepare. We will meet at the South gate."

After over a week of development, the player base had a size of a small village already. And as average player level are getting higher, building materials are much easier to gather. Especially for wizards and mages, they can use their mana to create dirt, wood or even stone for some high level magic casters. The building speed became much quicker as well.

Not long ago, Strawberry Chicken Squad finished placing starter wands around the player spawn area. There are 4 exits between the starter wand fences. Players called the exits North gate, East gate, South gate and West gate. The exits were facing North, East, South and West respectively, hence the name.

…

-After another few days of walking

Carolina Reaper: "Does this forest ever end?!"

Healthy Mushroom: "Apparently, I don't think so."

Apple Pie: "We didn't end up in a loop, right?"

Chips&Fries: "According to the map provided by the game system, we are progressing."

omelet ketchup rice: "Unless we can't even trust the map."

omelet ketchup rice shrugged.

Che Ba Mau and corn & fish maw soup looked at the map instinctively.

corn & fish maw soup: "Let's keep walking. The map in this game is huge. Even Abigail walked a couple days just to reach another area."

Che Ba Mau: "True, I believe we will reach another area soon."

Pineapple Pizza: "If not I have fought owls and fireflies, my brain will lose all the mental energy and dies."

omelet ketchup rice: "Then you better do. Also, killing fireflies don't give you experience. Just like chopping trees."

Chips&Fries: "Actually, they do give experience. Killing 1 tree or killing 1 firefly gives you 1 experience only."

Pineapple Pizza: "See? Trees and fireflies count as monsters, ok?"

omelet ketchup rice: "Then why don't you see them appearing in monster encyclopedia, huh?"

Pineapple Pizza: "…"

omelet ketchup rice: "Try to get a tree card and shove it in my face."

Pineapple Pizza: "…"

omelet ketchup rice: "Try to get a firefly card and shove it in my face."

Pineapple Pizza: "…"

omelet ketchup rice saw Pineapple Pizza almost explode then decided to drop the topic.

omelet ketchup rice: "Haha! That's what I thought."

Healthy Mushroom: "Cough."

Healthy Mushroom: "The monsters are quite interesting in this game."

Then Healthy Mushroom tried to calm down the atmosphere by changing topics.

Carolina Reaper: "How so?"

Apple Pie: "Yeah."

Carolina Reaper and Apple Pie looked at Healthy Mushroom with curiosity.

Healthy Mushroom: "You see. In this game, there are different type of monsters. And the most common monsters we fought are wolves. And there are owls too. But did you noticed that owls only appear at night?"

Apple Pie: "Hmm. Now that you mentioned it. It seemed like that."

omelet ketchup rice: "It is."

omelet ketchup rice facepalmed.

Healthy Mushroom: "So I think there are some type of monsters appear in limited time. Maybe there are some rare occurrences that some monsters will appear in some specific area in specific time."

Chips&Fries: "True, but it is near impossible to find it without any info."

Pineapple Pizza: "So if we want to fight those special monsters, we have to try our luck."

omelet ketchup rice: "I bet when event times, those people who want a fully completed monster encyclopedia will suffer."

corn & fish maw soup: "Sucks to be them."

omelet ketchup rice: "True."

Apple Pie: "I see an opening in the forest!"

Pineapple Pizza: "Oh! New Area!"

corn & fish maw soup: "Neat."

omelet ketchup rice: "Finally!"

…

Healthy Mushroom: "So… our next step is dive deep into the ocean?"

Carolina Reaper: "Hell no!"

Chips&Fries: "I don't think we can survive in the water for long. Also, battling in water have a huge disadvantage for us."

omelet ketchup rice: "See that sea turtle over there? That's a monster! Kill it!"

omelet ketchup rice pointed at a turtle in a distance.

Apple Pie: "Noo, why? It is so cute!"

Pineapple Pizza: "For the experience!"

Then Pineapple Pizza charged towards the turtle and tried to slice its head off with his sword.

The turtle's head immediately went in the turtle shell and the sword hit the sand instead.

Pineapple Pizza: "Damn! My sword!"

Pineapple Pizza noticed he can't pull out the sword quickly and the tail of the turtle was swinging his way really quick. He immediately gave up and jumped backwards to avoid the attack.

Chips&Fries: "Fireball."

Chips&Fries fired a fireball towards the turtle. All four limbs and the tail went in the shell before the fireball hit the turtle. Then the fireball landed on the turtle shell. 'Level 8. Sea Turtle' and a health bar with 99% durability were displayed above it.

Che Ba Mau: "Uncommon monster! Prepare for battle!"

All the members were in position to battle already before the leader said anything, including Apple Pie.

corn & fish maw soup: "Triple Shot."

Apple Pie: "Piercing Shot."

corn & fish maw soup shot three arrows from her crossbow rapidly towards the turtle. While Apple Pie prepared to shoot an arrow that can pierce armour from her bow.

The three arrows that soup shot did almost no damage to the turtle. Although all three shots landed on the turtle shell, the durability of the turtle didn't go down as low as a single fireball.

At this time, the turtle shell started spinning towards the group in an arc.

Che Ba Mau: "Here it comes! Trap placement!"

While Che Ba Mau is placing a trap in front of the turtle's path. Apple Pie shot her piercing arrow on the turtle. It hit the shell and the durability dropped 4%.

Pineapple Pizza: "Damn this shell's hard as heck."

omelet ketchup rice: "That's why you gotta hit the weak points!"

At this time, the turtle landed on the trap and the movement was temporarily stopped.

omelet ketchup rice: "Accurate Pierce!"

omelet ketchup rice's spear landed inside the head hole of the shell. The turtle durability dropped significantly.

Carolina Reaper: "Poison Fangs."

Carolina Reaper stabbed her poison daggers at the tail hole instead. The remaining durability of the sea turtle went away instantly.

Pineapple Pizza then walked over and picked up his long sword.

Healthy Mushroom: "Phew, what a battle."

Chips&Fries: "…"

Chips&Fries looked at Healthy Mushroom with a speechless expression.

omelet ketchup rice: "You didn't even do crap."

Healthy Mushroom covered his ears to pretend he didn't hear anything.
