Chapter 9 – Cloud Dragon Gang (1/2)

Although less than a hundred hares had returned with the original herd, Fatty still had to spend over two hours clearing everything due to all the refreshes. However, that did allow him to reach level 5, and only a bit more experience was needed for him to reach level 6.

Star Fantasia had said outright in the advertisements that levelling up would be very difficult in the game. After a day of playing, Fatty saw that it really wasn’t just difficult. I’ve killed so many monsters above my level, and yet I haven’t even reached level 6.

“Alright, it’s right here,” Fatty ran over to the hill. Just like he had expected, there was a bowl-sized hole on the ground right amongst the grass. If he didn’t come over to check it out, he definitely would have missed it.

I wonder how many rabbits there are in here.

Fatty thought to himself, then took out Blacksmith’s Tool and began to dig.

…

Ahh, a tool is truly nice. He was able to dig a two meter deep hole with a diameter of over a meter right in front of the entrance to the hares’ nest. Then, he stuck some sharpened branches into it, creating a makeshift trap. Due to that, his Trap ability’s mastery level also increased by 1.

All of the starting packs contained a flint that could only be used ten times, so that it was more convenient for the players to start a fire in the wild.

Fatty went around to gather some dried grass from the surroundings, then started a fire.

As the fire burned, he began to fan the flames, directing all of the smoke into the rabbit hole. Not long later, a rabbit hurried out frantically, only to fall into the trap and were pierced by the sharpened branches, giving several tens of experience to Fatty.

Fan, fan, fan! Fatty fanned the flames excitedly. As more and more smoke was sent into the rabbit hole, many rabbits begun to hop out, only to fall straight into the trap, and get turned into another piece of meat on the ‘skewers’, while providing a hefty amount of EXP for Fatty.

Half an hour later, even though the entire hole should be filled with smoke, Fatty still did not see the Rabbit King.

What’s going on? Fatty looked around, then saw a sliver of smoke rise from afar. He facepalmed. Dammit, I forgot a rabbit always digs many holes!

Fatty packed up quickly, then ran towards where the smoke was. However, when he arrived, he saw that some people were already there. It was the group who had tailed him earlier. There were eight of them in total, with someone called Cloud Dragon Sail in the lead, as they surrounded a golden rabbit the size of a German Shepherd.

“Cloud Dragon Gang clearly owns the place. All of you other people leave quickly. Otherwise, the consequences are dire!”

Someone immediately came to block Fatty off when he ran over. Fatty had already used Appraisal on every single one of them. All of them were merely level 3 or 4. Cloud Dragon Sail was also merely level 5, clearly showing just how hard levelling up in Eternal really was.

“Stop.”

I see, some players are blocking the boss off in the front, while Cloud Dragon Sail is attacking behind them. No wonder he’s levelling up at essentially my speed, so he got most of the EXP from the monster kills. The system used the percentage of damage output against the monster to determine the EXP distribution. Since the other players merely blocked off the monsters and let Cloud Dragon Sail attack, he would naturally gain most of the EXP. This method also allowed him to take on higher level bosses. No wonder, he’s level 5 already.

“Just passing through, you guys keep doing what you’re doing,” Fatty waved, then returned to the hill where he had come from.

“Tch, pussy,” the warrior spat onto the floor when he saw Fatty returned without saying anything else, then went back to help his team kill the boss.

…

However, Fatty did not actually give up.

1, 2, 3… Fatty laid down on the slope and counted with his chubby fingers.

100. “Alright, let’s go,” Fatty jumped up when he had reached 100, then walked over to where the boss was leisurely.

“What did you come here again for?” This time, the Cloud Dragon Gang was clearly more nervous.

Fatty took a look at the situation and chuckled silently to himself. Only three people in the gang remained, but the rabbit boss was still in good shape.

“Block it off. Block it off!” Due to all the players not losing focus for just a split second, the rabbit king hopped in front of Cloud Dragon Sail and bit down, causing a huge red -186 to rise up into the air.

He immediately screamed and chugged down a potion.

Kill. Fatty couldn’t be bothered to bullshit with them. He merely dashed over, and activated Chicken King’s Madness’s active ability, Rooster Squawk.

Since he had added all of his stat points from leveling up onto Dexterity, and had his attack and dexterity increased by 30% from the active ability, his speed had reached the limit of the Beginner Village zone. Before the enemy rogue had noticed what was going on, Fatty already stabbed him thrice, reducing him to a ray of white light back to the village.

Ai, my name’s red now.

Ding.
