Player a: Did you hear? The village chief of Beginner Village 88 has posted a quest. The reward is 5 free attribute points. t/
The lightning strike did not cause damage, nor did it inflict any substantial harm on Zhang Pingfan, other than causing him to be paralyzed and see stars.
Since there was no room for negotiation, he would go himself. Didn't he have a divine talent skill, "Befriend Enemies," that might be useful?
Under the gaze of numerous players, Zhang Pingfan walked out of the beginner village.
"Damn it, the village chief left the safe zone?"
"What the hell, the beginner village chief has run away from home. Could it be because he was struck by lightning?"
"This is just courting death. NPCs are generally very fragile. Without player escort, he'll probably die miserably."
Some brave players stepped forward to ask Zhang Pingfan if he needed protection, only to be kicked away by Zhang Pingfan with a single stomp.
"Get lost. With your trash-level strength, you'd probably die halfway. Don't waste my time."
Everyone was watching Zhang Pingfan's predicament, as the system was designed this way – NPCs were fragile.
But in the next moment, all the players were stunned, and Zhang Pingfan himself was completely bewildered.
The wild monsters outside the beginner village were all level 1. Zhang Pingfan had been worried about being critically hit at level zero, but instead, his health was forcibly deducted by 1 point...
"Damn it, are you guys this weak?"
Zhang Pingfan took out his axe from the warehouse. Yes, the very axe he had received as a reward earlier.
With a single swing of his axe at a nearby level 1 monster, it was instantly killed.
"What the heck, are the wild monsters this brittle now?"
Holding his axe, Zhang Pingfan cut through obstacles, charging through the level 1 monster area and heading towards higher-level zones under everyone's astonished gaze.
"My god, is this village chief cheating? He takes down mobs in one hit!"
"Are NPCs this powerful? The guide said NPCs were very fragile and could die easily."
"Is this village chief just showing off his presence? Why is he everywhere?"
Zhang Pingfan looked at the level 7 monsters around him, treating them like roadside animals, eliminating them one by one with an axe.
"Sigh, I thought it was a grand quest, but it turns out the game difficulty is this easy."
The higher he went, the higher the monster levels and the greater their numbers. However, they couldn't stop Zhang Pingfan's axe.
"If only I were a player, all this experience..."
Without any obstruction, Zhang Pingfan reached the territory of the Titan Python. Looking at the enormous Titan Python, Zhang Pingfan trembled slightly.
This thing was truly massive. The Titan Python's lantern-sized eyes stared intently at Zhang Pingfan.
Zhang Pingfan had intended to use his talent skill directly, but then he thought, since the game difficulty had been reduced, why not try with the axe?
Without further thought, Zhang Pingfan directly threw his axe, and was immediately dumbfounded.
