Chapter 30

"But if we give up that Constitution Point to a Profession holder, it would make the strong even stronger."

"That makes sense. The game world is so harsh—we should let the benefits go to Profession holders. That way, these strong players can better protect the village and us in the future."

"Exactly. Some people are just selfish and don’t care about others at all."

"Being in the same village as someone like that is just rotten luck."

"Liu Lu: Don’t say that. If someone reached Level 4 first, it’s because they worked hard for it."

"Liu Lu: After my Job Change yesterday, I grinded all night and only managed to get a little past Level 3. Let me tell you, the Experience Points needed from Level 3 to 4 have increased a lot. With my current strength, even if I grind nonstop for 24 hours, I still wouldn’t reach Level 4."

"Damn, even Liu Lu says so? Then Level 3 to 4 must be really tough. Wait, how did Liu Kuang level up so fast then?"

"Heh, I actually know about this. Early this morning, I went out with a few friends to grind, and by chance, I found a hidden spot in the center of the Wild Bull Grassland. It’s huge, full of Black Sheep, and killing one gives 100 Experience Points."

"And guess what? Liu Kuang was leveling up there."

"Holy crap, why are you only telling us now? Now it all makes sense—Liu Kuang found a grinding paradise!"

"Brothers, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Let’s all hurry over and try to level up today!"

Faced with such promising news, even Liu Lu couldn’t resist.

She posted in the Chat Area: "I’m going too."

Some bootlickers chimed in:

"Liu Lu, hurry over! With your strength as the first to Job Change, you’ll definitely be the first to reach Level 5."

"Yeah, yeah! The Constitution Points from being the first to level up should go to a Profession holder like Liu Lu—that’s putting them to good use!"

"Once Liu Lu becomes the highest-level player in the village, she’ll definitely protect us in the future."

"Remember Liu Bang? A rogue from Pei County became an emperor. Then Liu Xiu, a farmer from Nanyang, became a great restorer. Later, Liu Bei, a straw-sandal weaver, claimed one-third of the realm. And now, Liu Lu, the first to Job Change, is destined to soar!"

"Bro, didn’t you use that line before?"

"Ah, my bad. I miscalculated. I didn’t expect Liu Kuang to be such a disappointment. Same surname, but what a difference! Seems like fate favors Lu, not Kuang."

Meanwhile, as Qin Han made his way back from the 19th floor to the first floor of the ancient tomb, he found it completely packed when he arrived.

At a glance, there must have been over a thousand players— a classic case of too many players and too few monsters.

When he emerged from the passage, his majestic mount, Nightmare, paired with his ancient set, drew countless admiring gazes.

Many crowded around him:

"Hey, bro, what’s it like down there? Any good loot?"

"Did you get that warhorse from below?"

Qin Han ignored them, but inwardly, he was annoyed.

Had he known there’d be so many people, he would’ve recalled Nightmare earlier.

Now, riding his magnificent mount in front of a thousand players, he had become the center of attention.

Countless eyes were fixed on his face.

Never one for the limelight, Qin Han kept his head down and quietly slipped away from the crowd onto the grassland. Meanwhile, countless players continued streaming from the Beginner's Village, all heading straight for the ancient tomb—the scene resembled a bustling hometown festival. Outside the tomb, more and more players pushed inward. Yet apart from Qin Han, three others were silently making their way back: Liu Kuang and his two companions. As if to avoid curious gazes, Liu Kuang had hidden his name once more. Like Qin Han, they had spent the entire night grinding monsters and were now utterly exhausted, ready to return to the village to rest. Moreover, after a night of relentless hunting, the remaining Black Sheep on the first floor of the ancient tomb were already scarce. With this sudden influx of players, there simply weren't enough monsters left to fight.
