"In order to make your journey easier, I will lead the way and survey the surroundings first. I will create a map with the information I gather so you guys can explore areas at your own risk!"
"In addition, I highly recommend everyone to help each other and share any experience they gain on their journey! Only by cooperating together, can you all become stronger!" He Yi Ming slowly said, trying to educate the players.
"Wow, Master is leading the way for us?"
"OMG finally! They finally added a map! Now I won't get lost in the forest!"
"With this map, we can learn the distribution of monsters and change our plans accordingly so we don't have to just rush in blindly!"
"Clearing the jungle will be so much easier, we'll just have to clear them one camp at a time!"
"Ugh, I feel like I'm going to pull another all-nighter!"
"I decided, I will stalk Luffy/Indomitable_Panda/World Number One Ice Mage so I can pick up anything they left behind! As the saying goes one man's trash is another man's treasure! I'm going to class change to become a trash collector!"
...
The players were all super excited, and after they finished eating and drinking, they went straight back to grinding.
ID Evolution, as well as seven to eight players who disliked or are just bad at fighting, soon arrived at the location of the Spirit Stone Vein.
"So this is Spirit Stone? How intriguing! I wonder how they're formed..., it would be great if my friends could also play this game. A few of them study geography so they might be interested in this kind of thing!" Evolution observed the Spirit Stone in his hand curiously.
"F***, this game is truly amazing, not only could I eat some delicious food, I can plant a field and now I could even become a f***ing miner!"
"Shut up and get moving! A single Spirit Stone is worth 20 contribution points, we need to collect as much as possible before the other players joined in on the action!"
"You're right! I'm pulling an all-nighter!"
...
These players' class changed to miners and went hard at work not stopping to take a single break.
Stardust Crusaders also went on the offensive.
Originally, they were only a twenty-man team, but this time, they expanded their number to forty, twice as much as before.
Twenty-one players, including Stardust, are responsible for all the fighting.
The remaining nineteen players, all carrying large backpacks, followed closely behind, constantly appraising anything in sight, from a blade of grass to a piece of pebble, no rocks were left unturned. If they discovered anything of value they will stuff it in their backpacks before proceeding.
(If a certain spider was here she will be so proud of them)
Without question, these nineteen players have all classed changed to become trash collectors.
Luffy and Indomitable_Panda still went out solo, the only thing different was that several players stalked them from behind.
The mission of these players was very simple, pick up anything Luffy and Indomitable_Panda don't want and transport the corpse of the monsters they killed back to the camp.
There were also more than a dozen players who never took a foot out of the Silver Chariot camp at all.
Several players who are good at cooking gave up going out to fight, after all, they're self-conscious enough to know that if they went out, they will only be mindlessly feeding the monsters.
They much rather help Divine Tongue cook the enemies and then feed them to their allies.
There are also a few players who were preparing the monster's corpse, skinning the hide, removing the bone, and cutting up the meat.
These players have decided that they much rather support the others than fight the monsters face-on.
The remaining players also formed into new groups.
After spending a whole afternoon in the Boundless Mountain Range, many players come to a sudden realization that they suck at fighting and promptly left their group. As for the remaining players, they formed into new groups, and with the experience from before, they were far more powerful!
It's just that many players seem to have forgotten one person.
"F***, where the hell am I?" Beef Noodle leaned on a stick with tears and snot covering his face.
Not long after entering the dense forest, Beef Noodle's team encountered a large group of monsters which caused his team to scatter in a panic.
Beef Noodle was clueless about how the other players' fared, but he accidentally fell into a river and was washed miles away.
After finally getting ashore, he was chased by a monster, and a huge chunk was almost taken off his ass.
He ran to and fro, although he was finally safe for the time being.
But now, Beef Noodle was completely lost.
"Do I really have to kill myself to go back? F***, I just spent 1,000 contribution points to reach Body Refinement Realm Rank 6!" Beef Noodle was very reluctant and unwilling to do that.
"Huh, WTF is this lump of golden stuff?" Suddenly, Beef Noodle spot of a lump of mysterious golden substance.
The size of this lump was very large, about three to four meters tall.
Based on its appearance, it kind of resembles some sort of animal poop.
And yet, it doesn't stink, in fact, its crystal clear appearance kind of makes it seem like a super humongous jello.
"WTF is this?" Beef Noodle used appraisal on this mysterious substance.
"? ? ?"
When appraisal, all that was displayed was a bunch of question marks.
"Roar!" Suddenly, a terrifying roar came from close by, and almost instinctively, the frightened Beef Noodle jumped into the jello to hide as there were no other hiding spots nearby.
"Gasp!" While Beef Noodle was still in the jello, he couldn't hold it any longer and gasped for air, in the process accidentally intaking several mouthfuls of this mysterious substance.
Almost immediately, a burning sensation began to spread all over his body.
Similar to opening the Eight Gates.
"Holy crap, could this stuff be poisonous?"
Beef Noodle started to panic and activated his Azure Emperor Immortal Physique.
Oddly enough, after some time, the burning sensation slowly disappeared.
However, what Beef Noodle didn't notice was the silhouette of a dragon slowly appearing behind his back before quickly fading away.
"Whatever the F*** this is let me bring some back first!" Following the principle of the players of collecting first ask question later, Beef Noodle empty his backpack and then filled it up with this mysterious substance, after all, appraisal sama only displayed a bunch of question marks so this stuff must be rare/valuable although he was clueless as to what it does.
"Now then, let me try calling for help!" Beef Noodle thought about it for a while and then decided that the Mysterious Substance>SOS Stick>His Life, and broke the stick in half.
However...
"Pfft!" All that came out of the stick was a puff of smoke.
"WTF? Shit, did Master give me a dud?" Beef Noodles was disgusted, truly and utterly disgusted.
Now that the SOS stick turns out to be a dud, the only option Beef Noodle had right now was to try to find his way back.
Fortunately for Beef Noodle, he still has the internet on his side, after login off and googling how to find your way back if you're lost in a jungle, bala bing bala boom over 100 million search results.
(TN: The OG said Beef Noodle was an otaku and knows how to identify the direction and before he left he remember the location of the Silver Chariot whatever that means)
The only problem is...
"F***, it's more than 10 miles away, can I really make it back alive?" Just thinking about it Beef Noodle burst into tears.
F***ing hell!
The other players are all probably enjoying some warm food by now, surrounding a burning campfire eating BBQ, and sharing the story of their adventure.
Why am I the only one so miserable!
Eating the last of his Deep Sea King skewer and drinking the ice-cold river water.
The cold night wind howl, causing Beef Noodle to shiver.
"F*** me!" Beef Noodle cried, he truly and utterly cried.
