He caused another wolf to turn into a fiery explosion of data crystals as he slowly turned around to examine his loot .

Unlike the other players who are still panicking or denying reality, the concept of death never registered itself in Wu Yan’s mind . He watched Kayaba Akihiko’s show by blending into the audience . Then, like someone who was done with a movie, he went towards the plains outside the Town of Beginnings to start grinding .

Wu Yan knows that when the other players come to grip with their situations, grinding spots will be few and limited due to too many players and too little hunting grounds available .

In order to survive in this death game, everyone will have to grow stronger in their own ways . Beating monsters, upgrading equipment, and buying items would be necessary . Anything that can increase the chance of survival would be valued highly . To do that, they would have to kill monsters .

The monsters roaming here would look like delicious loot banks ready for the taking . It isn’t an exaggeration to say that people would fight each other to get some loot .

Wu Yan wanted to use this limited opportunity to quickly increase his levels . This world is as foreign as the real world he logged in from . He needed to quickly adjust himself to this new operating environment .

It’s now well over half a day since Kayaba declared this game as one where they had to fight for their survival .

He looked around and he could hear screams and hollers coming from some distance away from him . There are also flashes characteristic of skills being used . This meant that a part of the player base is already on the hunting grounds, grinding just like him, facing a reality they never asked for .

“That should be enough for now…”

He said as he looked into the distance where a town bigger than the Town of Beginnings stood . The structure released a unique l.u.s.ter in this dark night that would attract anyone’s attention .

<hr>

Wu Yan already leveled up several times . He stood at the top percentile of all the players . He used his combat experience and first-mover advantage to quickly pile on kills after kills . He also fought for several hours straight, suffice to say he’s not worried about his levels for now .

“I wonder what is Kirito’s level right now?”

Wu Yan mused to himself as he made his way over to the distant town in his vision .

With the sole exception of a few beta players, the other players are still all stuck in the Town of Beginnings . It wasn’t enough time for the players to grasp the game’s mechanics or understand enough about the mob monster’s skill set to do anything effectively .

When he arrived at this town, there are other players around but they are all irrelevant to him .

With proper lighting, this town looked like a city of stars with the night enhancing its inherent beauty . He quickly found the shop he was looking for .

“Here, I want to sell all of these!”

Wu Yan wasted no time with the NPC . He sold all the loot he got from his mob hunts . He sold hides, some low-level equipment, and a lot of food materials .

Ingredients for food are rare drops but somehow, Wu Yan got more food materials than he did normal loot . He wasn’t sure if he should be glad or mad with his luck .

He thought the NPC is just a simple one that did as he ordered . However, the NPC spoke up after a.s.sessing his items .

“Dear customer, it seems like you have a lot of ingredients on your hand, did you get them from monster loot drops?”

Wu Yan nodded after being stunned for a second . The NPC then expressed his helplessness .

“Your luck with rare food drops is simply absurd . If you were a chef, these ingredients would definitely be put to good use…”

Wu Yan pursed his lips . With his culinary skills, it wouldn’t be hard to become a chef . However, Wu Yan didn’t want to sign up for that c.r.a.p .
