Training grou-market

Fuck! I haven't even done anything yet! How did the War Hunchback Beast die?!

What in the absolute hell just happened?!

Beef Noodle stood frozen, his brain short-circuiting.

Could it be… that his talent was just that godly?

…Bah! No way!

When he rushed closer, his confusion only deepened.

The War Hunchback Beast was stone-cold dead,its mouth foamed, its face blackened, and its lifeless body lay sprawled in the pit.

No need for a deep investigation.

Even a monkey could tell,it was poisoned!

"Fuck! Did my foot stink so bad that when it ate me, it just straight-up died?!" Beef Noodle's face twisted. "No, wait! This is a game! That wasn't even my real body!"

His eyes narrowed as he inspected the beast, finally yanking something out of its mouth.

A lump of black, sticky muck.

"…The hell is this?"

It was something he'd looted earlier from that suspicious alchemy cauldron in the ruins. Looked like pill dregs.

Could this stuff be… poisonous?

After a brief pause, Beef Noodle did what any sane person wouldn't,he licked it.

The moment the black muck touched his tongue, his vision twisted. His limbs went weak, and the world turned into a swirling blur.

A breath later, he opened his eyes… in the Hall of Resurrection.

His death had been instant.

But instead of frustration, a grin slowly spread across his face.

"I think I just found a game-breaking exploit…"

On the other side of the mountain, He Yiming sat cross-legged in a dark cave.

The bodies of five War Hunchback Beasts lay around him, each slain by his own hand.

He took a deep breath and opened his eyes.

The sun was already setting. In the span of three hours, he had only managed to kill five beasts. The battle had left him heavily wounded, forcing him to retreat and recuperate.

His injuries still lingered, but there was no time to waste.

"This is my limit for today. I killed five, and at best, Indomitable Bear might manage two or three more." He frowned. "It's still far from completion."

With a thought, he pulled up his system panel to check the mission progress.

The moment the numbers loaded, his expression froze.

The notifications continued endlessly.

Not just Beef Noodle,other players were racking up kills as well.

[Wang Lufei has killed a War Hunchback Beast and completed the assigned mission!]

[Star has killed a War Hunchback Beast and completed the assigned mission!]

[Nation's First Ice Service has killed a War Hunchback Beast and completed the assigned mission!]

He Yiming's expression darkened.

This was impossible.

He scrolled down and checked the mission stats.

99/100.

"What the hell? What happened while I was gone?"

How had these players, who were struggling just hours ago, suddenly become walking slaughter machines?

The same bunch of Body Forging Realm weaklings who didn't even have proper weapons…

In just one day, they had wiped out nearly every War Hunchback Beast on the mountain?!

How was that even possible?!

Suppressing his confusion, He Yiming took a deep breath and immediately made his way back to the sect.

When He Yiming arrived at the sect square, he was greeted by a scene that left him utterly speechless.

The once derelict training grounds were now a chaotic festival.

Beast corpses were scattered everywhere,some already butchered, others skewered on makeshift grills. A dozen hotpot stations were bubbling, smoke filled the air, and players bustled about, flipping skewers and seasoning meat.

There were even peddlers hawking their goods.

"War Hunchback Beast Little Hotpot! Fresh and spicy! Come and try it!"

"High-quality, clean, and delicious! Don't miss out!"

"Slots are open for the Midnight Battle Team! Pill dregs will be provided! Shovels for the first two recruits! Come, work hard with us!"

"Star's efficient and fast battle team! Three members confirmed! Only one spot left! Take the leap and join now!"

He Yiming stood frozen.

???

Had he returned to the wrong world?

Had he transmigrated again?!

"Brother Ming is here!"

A sharp-eyed player spotted him, and immediately, a crowd swarmed.

One of them, without hesitation, threw himself onto He Yiming's leg.

He looked down.

Beef Noodle.

Tears welled in the player's eyes. "Brother Ming, these bastards are too shameless! They copied my method! You have to seek justice for me! Reward me! Punish them!"

He Yiming: ???

Before he could even process what was happening, another wave of complaints hit him.

"Brother Ming! There are no more War Hunchback Beasts left!"

"That's right! We can't find any more! They're completely wiped out!"

"I went out searching ten minutes ago, but there's nothing! The whole mountain's been cleaned out!"

He Yiming's mind blanked.

You're telling me that in one day…

These Body Forging Realm weaklings slaughtered them all?!

But no matter how baffling it was, he couldn't show it.

His face remained calm as he glanced at Beef Noodle.

"You say they copied your method?" He said indifferently. "Then why don't you demonstrate it for me?"
