Chapter 52
That seemed to be—excitement!
This path, which even Qin Han had treaded cautiously, was now as smooth as flat ground beneath Nightmare's hooves, without the slightest obstruction. It seemed that in Nightmare's eyes, this path was clearly visible.
Before long, The man and his horse arrived at the other side of the bridge.
Separated by a canyon, Time and space seemed to have transformed.
Before them lay a square platform spanning a hundred feet, Piled high with snow.
Under the last rays of the setting sun, Qin Han surveyed the surrounding scenery.
All around were perilous peaks towering thousands of meters high, Their summits equally blanketed in white snow.
The platform he stood upon was also at the pinnacle of a mountain.
At the corner of the platform, A narrow path wound its way down to the foot of the mountain.
Along the path, He could see Snow Monsters, resembling snowmen, lazily rolling about in boredom.
"These Snow Monsters are all high-level, at least Level 20 dungeon creatures. If we descend now, it’ll likely be dark by the time we’re halfway down. With visibility impaired, that would be dangerous."
"After a tiring day, it’s best to rest here tonight and explore further at dawn."
Having made up his mind, Qin Han promptly took out a Shovel and broom to clear a patch of snow, Then set up a tent.
The sky gradually darkened, Accompanied by the demonic howls echoing from the neighboring canyon.
Qin Han curled up inside the tent, While a campfire blazed outside, Above which a pot of beef soup simmered.
Every now and then, he picked up a piece of beef with his chopsticks, Or scooped a spoonful of broth, Eating with great relish, His face brimming with contentment.
"It’s been so long since I’ve experienced this kind of rough, outdoor living. How nostalgic!"
Nightmare huddled nearby, chewing tastelessly on a carrot, While its red eyes remained fixed on the pot of rich, creamy beef soup, Drool dripping incessantly from its mouth.
It let out occasional discontented snorts, As if protesting its owner’s unfairness.
Seeing this, Qin Han couldn’t help but laugh.
"You gluttonous horse. Other horses eat grass, yet here you are craving meat."
"Here, take this."
With that, he tossed a large chunk of cooked beef toward it.
Nightmare swiftly caught it in its mouth, Chewing with evident delight.
Seeing its enjoyment, Qin Han quickly picked up his chopsticks again, ready to eat more.
At the mountain peak, A light snow had begun to fall unnoticed.
Sparse snowflakes drifted into the dim glow of the fire.
Man and horse ate happily, taking turns.
Suddenly, A notification popped up.
"Congratulations to Player Li Fei from Beginner's Village 110755 for being the first to reach Level 5! Reward: +1 Constitution Points. Diplomacy Chat Channel unlocked! Level Rankings Merged! Captain Mission unlocked!"
"Captain Mission: Between Beginner's Village 110755 and Beginner's Village 688, whichever player reaches Level 10 first will obtain the Captain Token. For specific rewards, consult your respective Village Chief."
Faced with this announcement, Qin Han, atop the snowy peak, was momentarily stunned.
"Damn, I almost forgot about this!"
In response to this sudden notification, The entire Beginner's Village 688 erupted in uproar.
"What’s going on with Beginner's Village 110755? Why is their broadcast leaking into our village?"
Liu Lu: "This should represent a signal. The tone of the Game of Eternal Life was actually set when we entered the game—Myriad Races Compete for Supremacy, battling Monster Beasts. In other words, we’re here not only to kill monsters and level up but also to face unknown enemies from the Myriad Realms."
"And this Beginner's Village 110755 is likely the first enemy we’ll have to confront."
"Enemies? Are you saying our village will have to fight them like in ancient wars?"
Liu Lu: "Probably."
"That’s terrifying. Before entering the game, I hadn’t even killed a chicken, and it’s only been two days since we started. Now we have to face unknown enemies? If a real fight breaks out, can we even win?"
Liu Lu: "I don’t know either. The gap between level four and five is huge. If others reached level five first, they’re naturally much stronger than us."
"Big Boss Liu Lu is right. I just checked the rankings. Besides that Li Fei guy holding first place, they also occupy seven of the top ten spots. The rest goes without saying—it’s a complete domination. Their levels are clearly a notch above ours."
That seemed to be—excitement!
