After packing up the items in her backpack, the figure of Zhao Hunter appeared not far from the forest, his clothes still stained with fresh blood, indicating a successful hunt. Calling out to Yan Yan, the two made their way back to the village.
The sun had climbed overhead, and dappled sunlight filtered through the dense leaves, casting scattered spots of light on the ground. Walking on the carpet of fallen leaves, a sense of tranquility enveloped them.
Yan Yan raised her hand to brush aside the hair that obstructed her view, her grip on the Bronze Longbow unwavering, her gaze unchanged. Her steps were steady and measured, maintaining a consistent breath. Her sharp features remained alert to the sounds around her, her body poised to enter a combat stance at any moment.
After walking for twenty minutes along the same path, they emerged from the forest.
System: Congratulations Player Remains Silent for completing the quest “Exploring the Mysterious Forest of the Novice Village.”
Zhao Hunter observed Yan Yan, who remained in a vigilant state, his eyes filled with admiration. He glanced at the Bronze Longbow in her hands and said, “Girl, would you like to learn archery from me?”
As soon as he finished speaking, a prompt from the System appeared.
System: Does Player Remains Silent accept the quest “Learn Basic Archery from Hunter Zhao”?
“Yes.”
Yan Yan's heart raced for a moment before she quickly suppressed her emotions and accepted the quest.
The mission had reached this point, and the most crucial part had finally begun!
"Starting from Tomorrow Morning, you will train with me in archery every morning until you are ready to set off."
"Yes, senior."
After watching Zhao Hunter leave, Yan Yan quickly ran toward the apothecary.
The apothecary was crowded with players buying potions, noisy and chaotic.
Health Potions cost 5 copper each and restored 4 health points. For early-game players, this was definitely a significant expense, and the shop was filled with complaints and dissatisfaction.
"Damn, these potions are so expensive! I can't afford them at all—"
"What the hell is this broken game? Everything costs money..."
"The few copper coins dropped from monsters can't cover the expenses at all. The spawn points for monsters aren't increasing, but the number of players keeps rising!"
"Yeah, at this rate, the rabbits will be nearly extinct. Last night, two experts were leveling up and left a field full of rabbit corpses—"
"Which two idiots were out leveling at night? Player Attributes are halved while Monster Attributes are doubled. What’s the point of that?"
"Hey, my brother, you just don't get it. Those experts can ignore these disadvantages; with a wave of their hand, they can break through Cool King without worrying about any debuffs."
"Is that fool still at the entrance of the tailor shop in the newbie village, buying Rabbit Fur? I've got a ton of Rabbit Fur here waiting to be sold—"
"Yes, yes, he’s still there. I just came from there and exchanged some money. I was about to buy some medicine and food, but there are so many people! It was packed, I could barely catch my breath..."
...
After gathering some information, Yan Yan finally squeezed into the circle of players and looked at Chen Boss, who was grinning from ear to ear.
"Chen Boss, here are the Plantago Seeds you wanted, a total of three sets." After the transaction, a system notification chimed in.
System: Congratulations Player Remains Silent for completing the quest "Gathering Plantago Seeds."
"Great, great, great," Chen Boss said, looking at the pristine Plantago Seeds in his hands. He smiled and added, "Girl, I'm very satisfied with your help. If you need to buy medicine, I'll give you a 5% discount."
"I'm not buying medicine for now," Yan Yan replied as she glanced at the Health Potions on the shelf. She took out her remaining three sets of herbs and said, "I have three sets of Plantago Seeds here; I hope you can help me make Health Potions."
Facing the astonished gazes of Chen Boss and the surrounding players, Yan Yan remained composed, standing straight at the counter. The aura around her pressured the surrounding players slightly, causing them to unconsciously step back a bit as they began to whisper among themselves.
"This girl actually went into the forest?"
"Looking at her equipment, she must have had some kind of adventure in there..."
"Hey, hey, look at her, so thin and young. Her skills are probably just average; she must be relying on the Golden Thigh."
...
Curious, malicious, and greedy gazes intertwined on the figure standing at the center, who remained unfazed. The slight droop of her eyes prevented the Surrounding Players from noticing the chill emanating from her.
"Girl, since you provided the herbs, I'll charge you a processing fee of 1 gold coin." Chen Boss skillfully accepted the three sets of Plantago Seed from Yan Yan, his gaze drifting over her Wild Lynx Set. He thought to himself: this Girl is quite ruthless; she actually wiped out the lair of the Wildcat. That scoundrel Old Zhao probably took her to the hardest spot in the forest to dig for Plantago Seed. Hmph, he and Old Zhang think they're clever; they shouldn't underestimate her. She's just a good seedling; is it necessary to fight over her like this?
After processing the three sets of Plantago Seed, he obtained one set of Health Potion. Chen Boss traded it to Yan Yan, and after receiving the gold coin, his mood brightened even more. "Come, come! Huge sale on Health Potion! Don't miss out as you pass by, starting at 5% off until sold out!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the players who had been whispering immediately surged forward. Seizing the opportunity, Yan Yan slipped out of the crowd, feeling grateful for Chen Boss's help in getting her out. Truly a high-intelligence NPC; he saw through the greed and curiosity of the players without missing a beat. Unfortunately, there are always those who lose their lives due to their greed!
With a darkened gaze and a swift step, she dodged a player's dagger attack. She quickly flipped her Bronze Longbow around and executed a Block, stopping a second player's wooden stick.
"What’s this? Do you guys want to make a move here?" Yan Yan's cold gaze swept over the three male players surrounding her, sending an inexplicable shiver down their spines.
"Hmph, girl, I advise you to hand over your money and equipment quickly. Otherwise, we won't let you go!" One man with a lecherous appearance fixated on her backpack.
"Boss, don’t forget about the Health Potion. Make her hand that over too!" A sneaky-looking player concealed his ID with ill intent.
"Hurry up and give us your stuff, or we'll make you cry for your brother." The third player, the only one revealing his ID and also the one who had just attempted to stab her—"Respectable Young Lady."
Yan Yan glanced at him; he seemed like a very confident player. If it were a Regular Player, they would have definitely fallen for that sneak attack. Such tactics likely didn't bode well for him in reality either.
Thinking of this, Yan Yan did not hold back. She quickly stepped back three paces to create some distance, raised her bow, and shot. "Whoosh—" The arrow struck the neck of the player with a shifty gaze.
"You—" Before he could finish his sentence, he transformed into a beam of white light and vanished from their sight.
Instant kill!
She had actually achieved an instant kill!
The scruffy-looking man widened his eyes in disbelief. How could the second-in-command have been taken out by this seemingly inconspicuous girl?
In stark contrast, the now-recovered Respectable Young Lady swiftly drew her dagger and shouted, "Boss, don't just stand there! Let's go!" She shook off the fear in her eyes; they had run into a tough opponent this time. If they didn't fight back, they wouldn't even get a chance to retaliate before being eliminated. The moment she met Yan Yan's icy gaze, she understood that their only chance was to team up with the boss for a desperate fight.
The boss, regaining his senses, immediately swung the wooden stick in his hand and lunged at Yan Yan.
Yan Yan watched as he swung weakly at her. She tilted her head to dodge the attack from Respectable Young Lady and shot him a disdainful glance, as if looking at a dead man.
She sidestepped to avoid the wooden stick's attack and swiftly drew her bow again. "Whoosh—" The arrow whistled through the air and struck the scruffy player's forehead.
A flash of white light—another instant kill!
The second instant kill left Respectable Young Lady frozen in place. Impossible! The boss was already level three and was a tanky Bear Clan Warrior; how could he be taken out by this girl in front of them?
Impossible—
He looked in terror at the woman approaching him step by step. When their eyes met, his legs began to tremble uncontrollably. Who was she? How could this be—
"You—"
Before he could finish his sentence, she transformed into a flash of white light and vanished from sight, leaving only the buzzing sound of the taut bowstring that had suddenly been released.
"Overestimating yourself." Her cold voice uttered these words as she slightly raised her gaze, sweeping over several other players who had also been in the apothecary. They instantly felt a chill run down their spines, and the greedy thoughts that had just begun to bubble up were extinguished in an instant.
Just moments ago, three players had reached their maximum level and, unable to resist their inner greed, attempted to rob her. If it were just those three, she wouldn’t have been afraid; what worried her were the other players around them, who might see an opportunity and swarm her. A single pair of hands couldn’t fend off four fists, especially since her current state wasn’t at its best. Any slight misstep could leave her trapped here. Demonstrating her lethal power to intimidate those with ulterior motives was the best choice she could make.
In the face of absolute strength, anyone would have to weigh their own capabilities. Those who thought about attacking her—huh—should take a good look at the Bronze Longbow and Wild Lynx Set in her hands and consider whether they would be welcome.
Watching her retreating figure, the surrounding players retracted their inappropriate thoughts, shrank their necks, and turned back toward the apothecary. They did not wish to encounter that chilling gaze again; it felt as if they were being stared at by death itself, sending shivers deep into their bones!
