Monsters Are Coming

David showed a faint smile after seeing the notification from System Game.

He didn't do anything but immediately got 100 Gold Coins.

One gold coin is one gram, so he basically got 100 grams of gold.

Although the value could not be compared to gold in the real world, if he really wanted to sell the gold, he could probably get a few hundred dollars.

He then looked at his village menu in the status window.

Now, there was one village there, Fire Flower Village.

- Male: 30

- Women: 39

- Home: 40

- Horse: 13

There are more data besides the above four, but they are not something too important as this System Game records almost all the data.

David only focused on the important ones.

After Jack accepted David as the ruler of this village, only then did Zara draw her power.

Instantly, people were finally able to stand up.

The villagers were quite cooperative, they immediately saluted David and Zara.

However, the players couldn't help but look at each other.

"What's going on? This new player has already become the ruler of a village. I remember that it took a few days since the game was released before anyone took control of the village." One of the players said.

"His NPC is too strong," another replied.

"That's true, but shouldn't it be impossible for a new player to have such a powerful NPC?"

"I think we need to download the recent scene recordings and post them to the forums."

That was something that could be done because every player's eye was actually a camera whose results could then be downloaded.

David didn't hear their conversation, but he had a guess. Even so, he didn't really care.

As long as his identity in the real world was safe, then he would be safe. The most important thing was that he didn't take off his mask in front of the players unless he had gotten a special item that could hide the nickname.

Right now, he wanted to focus on this village.

All of its residents basically became his NPCs.

If there was one very advantageous thing it was that he could use the villagers to hunt monsters and raise his level.

This can be done with the help of NPCs as long as the NPCs are of a level equal to him or below, and he must be near them when they kill monsters.

For every one monster killed, he will gain EXP.

Basically, although NPCs and monsters are divided into classes without levels, but each class also has differences in strength.

Some Class D NPCs may be equivalent to a level 9 or 10 player, but some are only equivalent to level 0 or 1, depending on the depth of each.

"Gather here!" David finally spoke, telling the villagers to gather in front of him.

Despite the confusion, they still moved quickly.

When they gathered in front of David, they lined up quite neatly, showing that they were well-trained even though they were not official soldiers.

In this world, survival skills are the first thing to be learned, so it's only natural that even ordinary people can fight and be disciplined enough like they are soldiers.

"Some time soon, there will be hordes of monsters coming, I want you all to be prepared to fight," he said right after they gathered.

"What, monsters? How could monsters attack this village right now?" The villagers instantly panicked.

Not only were they shocked by what David said, but they were also skeptical because according to their calculations, no monsters should have come to their village in this week or month.

Since they had lived in this village for a long time, it was only natural for them to have an opinion.

"Your Majesty, are there really monsters coming?" Zara asked David in a low voice, sounding doubtful as she had very strong senses so she would be aware if there were monsters approaching.

In response, David stared at her.

"Help me move some weak monsters from other areas to the areas around this village," he replied.

Before Zara could be surprised, he added, "don't ask any questions, just do as I say!"

Zara was naturally confused, but since David said that, she could only nod.

"Just a moment, Your Majesty," she said.

Whoosh!

She disappeared in an instant, leaving the bewildered villagers staring at the spot where she disappeared, surprised by her speed.

Of course, David was also surprised, wondering if she was as fast as light.

"Is she going to kill those monsters?" One of the villagers suddenly said causing the other's eyes to shine brightly.

They calmed down when they remembered Zara's strength. Even if there were hordes of monsters to come, it shouldn't matter with Zara and David here.

However, David suddenly shook his head.

"No, she's leaving for a while on other business. You guys are going to fight those monsters. I want you to join me, but before that, I want to see your strength and fighting potential," he said, creating a lie.

"What? Why us?" David's words naturally left the villagers dumbfounded as they had expected nothing since they had such a powerful master.

David didn't answer again, just smiled through his mask.

Whoosh!

Zara reappeared beside him.

"The monsters are almost here, probably in about 10 minutes," she said.

"Look!" Suddenly a young man from the village pointed at a stick stuck in the ground.

It moved slowly and began to speed up as if it was shaking.

Although there was wind now, the stick was stuck in the ground very firmly. The wind shouldn't be able to make it tremble like that.

"Damn it, we have to prepare immediately, hurry back to your respective homes and get weapons!" Jack, the village chief shouted before running to his house.

Actually, the stick was connected to a rope, and the rope was quite long, reaching hundreds of meters.

It was tied to various objects that when stepped on caused the rope to tighten so that the stick moved.

Basically, it's how these villagers know if someone is coming in large numbers whether it's humans or monsters.

Of course, players also get ready immediately after they believe there really are monsters that will arrive in this village soon.
