5th Sponsor chapter! Thank youDaryl V.!

Their training was not the same as what Liu Gan had in mind. The zombie was chained at the neck and held down by a pillar. The newcomers would hold their wooden stick and stand far away. The zombie would stretch out their hand and the player would have to figure out the best position to strike.

These zombies were all caught alive by high level players. Their purpose was for newcomers to kill, but payments in points were required.

The person catching the zombie could earn twenty points, but the player that killed the zombie has to pay up forty points.

The newcomers usually didn’t have many points to start with, so they would use their personal belongings to trade for points. Otherwise, they would have to do chores like cleaning clothes, cooking, and other mundane tasks for points.

Of course, between players they can negotiate personal deals such as services in exchange for points. For example, female players tended to offer up their body in exchange for points from the male players. These incidents were common as long as both parties agreed, with additional supervision from a governing party. The exchange had totake place at a set location.

If the exchange took place outside of the designated location, and a dispute arose,then the majority of the time the female player would have the upper hand. As a result, the Elder Committee would find fault with the male players and severely punish them. This was in accordance of their motto of protecting the weak.

Along his way to the market, Liu Gan noticed quite a few incidents of newcomers begging for points from veteran players. There were some lucky individuals that received point tickets. This village was becoming more similar to a small society, even to the way it operated.

“Can I walk around?” Liu Gan asked Kong Mu.

“It is best that you stick with the group. It will benefit your future development,” Kong Mu replied with a suspicious look.

“I just want to familiarize myself with the location, I still haven’t decided if I want to remain here,” Liu Gan insisted.

“In that case… go have your free time” Kong Mu wasn’t happy with the question, but ultimately agreed. Ever since establishing the Beginners Village, there was no one that had decided to leave after joining. So when Liu Gan said he was still deciding whether he wanted to stay, it was unfathomable for Kong Mu.

Liu Gan had Han GuangMing and the rest of the group to follow the newbies to the training ground. As for Liu Gan, he had Yin He, Lee DingXiang, and NaNa accompany him. Aside from this College of Agriculture, there were several large schools nearby that had also been taken over as part of the property of the village.

Due to the nature of the missions and rewards system in this village, there were tasks that someone would be willing to do. Overall, this entire village was very well-designed. No matter which path was taken, there were directions available at every fork in the road. There were even maps to illustrate the district lines.

The directions would usually point toward the training ground, cafeteria, lecture hall, classroom and others. Liu Gan was most excited to see the words “marketplace”. There were multiple marketplaces, so Liu Gan headed toward the largest marketplace. This was the prime location for exchanging goods and services.
