"? ? ?"
Nani! What in the world happened, he hasn't even done anything to the graphorn so how did it kick the bucket?
Beef Noodle was confused.
Was it because he had a hidden ability like those protagonists of anime and manga where when he taunt the graphorn it was already dead?
*Spit*, *spit*, *spit.*
When Beef Noodle arrive at the crime scene, he was even more perplexed.
The graphorn was indeed dead, foaming at its mouth, with a darken complexion, the beast collapsed motionless within the pit, its corpse already cold.
Everything within this scene indicates poison was the cause of death.
"F***, was my feet so stinky that the graphorn got poison to death? *Spit*, no that can't be right, there were dozen of graphorn that got a taste of my stinky feet before this one but they are all still alive and kicking!" Beef Noodle investigated the corpse more closely and found something at the corner of its mouth.
A mass of mysterious black glob.
"Could this be the cause of death?" Beef Noodle lower his head to get a better look at the black substance that he found within the ruins in what was suspected to be a pill cauldron.
Looks like pill sludge.
Could it be that this stuff is poisonous?
Well, I guess there's only one way to find out.
Beef Noodle lowered his head and licked the black glop at the corner of the graphorn mouth.
Within a couple of seconds, Beef Noodle begin to feel nauseous, he lost control of his body, and his vision blurred.
When Beef Noodle opened his eyes again.
He was back at the resurrection hall.
Although that was another quick death, Beef Noodle's eyes shine brighter than ever!
"It seems like I discovered a loophole in the game..."
At the same time, on the other side of the mountain, inside a cave, laid the corpse of 5 graphorn, all of which were killed by He Yi Ming!
He Yi Ming took a deep breath and opened his eyes!
In 3 hours, He Yi Ming was only able to hunt down 5 graphorn, he only stops when the sun starts setting, in the end, not only was he exhausted but he was also injured and had to find a cave to recuperate in.
When he opened his eyes again, half a day has already passed.
"It seems like 5 graphorns per day is my limit, if I calculate the speed at which Indomitable_Panda kills graphorn, the amount of time he needs to rest up, and the amount of time for sleep, Indomitable_Panda limit is probably around 5 too! Sigh, there is still a gap of 80, it is not something that can be close with effort alone!" He Yi Ming thought to himself before opening the system log to check his mission progress.
However, with a single look, He Yi Ming was left blind-sighted.
'ID Beef Noodle has Successfully Slain A Graphorn, Mission Completed! Reward, 100 Contribution Points!"
'ID Beef Noodle has Successfully Slain A Graphorn, Mission Completed! Reward, 100 Contribution Points!"
'ID Beef Noodle has Successfully Slain A Graphorn, Mission Completed! Reward, 100 Contribution Points!"
....
He Yi Ming investigated the system log and found dozen of successfully slain graphorn, all completed by Beef Noodle!
Only after that did the notification of the other players successfully slaying the graphorn appeared.
"ID Luffy has Successfully Slain A Graphorn, Mission Completed! Reward, 100 Contribution Points!"
"ID Stardust has Successfully Slain A Graphorn, Mission Completed! Reward, 100 Contribution Points!"
"ID World Number One Ice Mage has Successfully Slain A Graphorn, Mission Completed! Reward, 100 Contribution Points!"
....
Looking at this wall of notification, He Yi Ming was mind-boggled.
When he look at the mission progression, it was already at 99/100.
"What the hell? What in the world happen?' He Yi Ming felt that this must be a dream.
What on earth happened to the players in the half-a-day he has been gone?
How did the players, who were just getting bodied by the graphorn a minute ago, able to kill over 9000 *cough* 90 graphorn in such a short amount of time?
A group of noob that is unarmed and with the cultivation of Body Refinement Realm Rank 1.
In such a short period of time, how did these players kill on average more than 1 graphorn per player?
Seeing that he is only missing one more graphorn before completing the Sect Mission, He Yi Ming decided that finding out the secret of the players is more important than hunting down the last graphorn! Besides, at the rate the players are killing the graphorn, the last one will be filled in no time!
He Yi Ming urgently wants to know the answers to all his questions.
How the heck did these players killed so many graphorns?
Returning to the sect square, He Yi Ming saw a pile of graphorns carcasses laying on the ground, some of them even had most of their meat stripped off. Littering the sect square were racks of hot pot, grills, and barbecue rack, huh, there is even a section for spicy foods?
Is this the sect square...
Or a F***ing night market?
"Graphorn hot pot freshly made, quickly come here have a taste!"
"A delicious and spicy hot pot made with my special recipe! If it does not kill you, money-back guarantee!"
"Midnight farming of graphorn, pill glob locked and loaded, we just need two more workers with a pair of shovels!"
"Stardust quick and easy graphorn farming team, we're missing one player, we need someone who is courageous enough to perform the leap of faith!"
....
Not only did the players set up their own stalls, but there were also many players shouting out advertisements for their stalls.
???
He Yi Ming felt like he has entered another world.
Was he isekai'd again?
"Master has arrived!" At that time, a sharp-eyed player saw He Yi Ming appear and shout to the other players.
Suddenly, a group of players crowded around He Yi Ming.
One of the players hugged onto He Yi Ming's leg.
He Yi Ming lowers his head only to find Beef Noodle clinging to his leg.
"Master, these shit-heads are so shameless, not only did they f***ing copy my strat, they didn't even give me any royalties for that, you need to call the shot and suspend them! Those players need to be banned!" Beef Noodle burst into tears with a face filled with grievance.
"???" Beef Noodle's words further confused He Yi Ming.
"Master, there are not enough graphorn to go around, where can we find more?"
"Right, right, it's not easy to find a graphorn nowadays!"
"I just went out searching and have yet to come across one in over half an hour!
....
The players are complaining that there were not enough graphorns to go around, the population was too small for them to farm.
"???"
Hearing this He Yi Ming was completely speechless.
As someone in the Spirit Realm, he has only managed to kill 5 graphorn in a day and suffer many injuries in the process.
Yet, in the mouth of these players, who are only at Body Refinement Realm Rank 1, they're complaining that the spawn rate of the graphorn is too low?
Gimme a break meaning!
But naturally, He Yi Ming can't show that to the players.
"Beef Noodle, since you said that the other players copied your strat if you don't mind, could you please demonstrate it for me!" He Yi Ming calmly said to Beef Noodle who was still clinging to his leg.
