My Players' Second Playthrough

The road from Tiebi City to the End of the Blight Village is about to be completed.

With no regard for cost, the most advanced magic cable was laid under this 10-kilometer-long, 21-meter-wide 6-lane cement road. In the future, it can be used as a base point to build magic facilities around it.

The "monster spawning points" along the way have also been completely cleared by the players.

As long as they kill the scattered monsters in the wild, there will be no more monsters around.

The concentration of corruption around is like a line wiped out with a rag soaked in detergent on a greasy table.

Without new "oil stains", the dried oil stains will not spread, and there is no need to worry about the safe zone being corrupted again, not to mention that there are still a large number of active players here.

This has led to the "End of the Blight Village" that was cleared by the players first, rather than being a "stronghold" outside the city, it is better to say that it is the end of the "safe zone" along this road.

The buffer zone of nearly one kilometer along both sides of the road has also become a safe zone where monsters will not spawn in theory.

Just like a thin "blood groove" was grooved on the "broken sword" in the valley.

This is the first opportunity for the alliance to expand outward since its establishment.

Every inch of newly opened land has extremely important symbolic significance.

…

"Amu Xiao" sat on the dead tree at the end of the Wugui Swamp, looking at the swamp that was originally full of life, which was turned into fertile soil without vitality after being killed by himself, and suddenly had the urge to plant crops here.

"I don't know why, after killing the monsters here, I feel a sense of loss." He said.

"If you like giant plants, you can plant them back. Didn't the scholars who came to investigate before say that the seeds dropped by those monsters can be used to grow some high-yield extraordinary crops without being polluted." "Humorous Lao Deng" responded.

The tens of thousands of monsters in the entire Wugui Swamp were all killed by the four of them.

As a reward for the task [Outpost, Part 2], Li Li handed over the management rights of this swamp to the four of them.

But the most embarrassing thing is.

Although this is one of the three major monster spawning points along the way, it is only three kilometers away from Tiebi City in a straight line.

Standing in the swamp, you can even see the walls of Tiebi City.

And the surrounding land environment also lacks the conditions for building houses.

However, they have already discussed and plan to cooperate with the academy to let the magic academy help them develop this swamp.

In the eyes of the academy, although this swamp of less than ten acres cannot generate much income, it is more important than any kind of income to be able to plant the flag of the magic academy on the initially developed land.

Because this can represent the ability of the academy to participate in the development of land outside the city.

After a round of inspection of the swamp, "Eight-level Gale" flew over from the air and asked everyone:

"After the matter here is over, do you plan to continue to form a team?"

"I don't mind continuing." "Pure Love Warrior" was the first to express his opinion.

"Humorous Old Deng" shook his head and said bluntly: "Sorry, I will work for the club next."

As a contracted player of the club, his freedom in the game is limited.

He can't enjoy the game as he pleases like other players.

Seeing that the team that had cooperated for half a month (in-game time) was about to disband, "Amu Xiao" finally understood where his feeling of loss came from.

He met like-minded friends in the game, worked closely together for a few weeks, and gradually became like a team, but in the end he still had to separate at a certain moment.

I'm afraid they will never have the opportunity to form a team like this again.

——This is the taste of enlightenment that can only be experienced in the "opening period".

In fact, everyone knows that this team is going to disband, after all, the gap in strength between them is too big.

Lao Niu and Dafeng are not talented, and they will make mistakes from time to time. As a professional player, Lao Deng, although he has no earth-shattering performance, has been like a stabilizing force, always protecting the team.

With him, no matter what kind of crisis, they can get through it safely.

As if to set off this melancholy atmosphere, the sky around them suddenly darkened.

A trace of black particles with an ominous breath gathered from all directions and merged into the dead tree where "Amu Xiao" was sitting.

『Amuxiao』 jumped down immediately and scanned the dead tree under him.

[Resentment of the No Returners]

[Level: 6]

[Rank: None]

[HP: 900/900]

[Features: Gathering Corruption]

[Skills: None]

[Killing Experience: 100]

Reading the correct version! 6=9+Shu_bar first releases this novel.

[Dropped Items: None]

“What is this?” 『Amuxiao』 asked his teammates while looking at the barrage in the live broadcast room.

This was the first time he saw a monster that could not be found in the Expedition Encyclopedia.

“Don’t worry.” 『Level 8 Gale』 stopped his teammates who wanted to take action, “This tree seems to be gathering the corruption nearby. Let’s wait a little longer. Maybe after it is finished, it will explode with something good.”

『Level 8 Gale』’s confident statement was based on the premise that the four of them had been brushing at high intensity for two weeks and were already Lv55+, and their key skills were maxed out.

Even when facing a gold-level elite monster, with the cooperation of the four of them, they are not without the ability to fight.

Unfortunately, after waiting for a long time, the dead tree did not change anymore, and it only reached level 34.

The four players easily defeated it.

But it was only a level 34 monster, but it gave each player 4.5 million experience points.

This made "Amu Xiao", who was most sensitive to the plot, immediately realize that something was wrong.

After discussing with the fans in the live broadcast room, he came to a preliminary conclusion.

"Corruption seems to have a consciousness." "Amu Xiao" shared with his teammates.

"What does it mean?" "Level 8 Gale" was still immersed in the joy of getting a lot of experience points for free.

"With so much experience points, we can obviously create a bunch of monsters, but just now they were all piled on a tree."

"It feels like there is a being that discovered that we can become stronger after collecting experience points, so like an ignorant little animal, it also learned our behavior and stuffed a lot of energy into a tree, hoping that it can also become stronger."

"It's just that the same experience points, when fed to us, can reach level 50 or 60, but the efficiency of feeding to the tree is not that high." "Amu Xiao" explained.

"Can it be understood this way, those black particles that create monsters are imitating us players?" "Humorous Lao Deng" reacted.

『Amuxiao』 nodded: "Yes, everything in this game has logic. Those black particles are called corruption, which is the source of all evil in the background. However, such an ignorant experiment does not seem to be done by the mastermind behind the spread of corruption. It is more like corruption itself has given birth to consciousness."

"Should we have spared this monster's life just now?" 『Level 8 Gale』 also realized that something was wrong, "Did we destroy the precious sample?"

"You think too much." 『Amuxiao』 curbed Afeng's improper thoughts, "You still have to get the experience you deserve."

At the same time.

Li Li, who had just sent off the new player and was about to go back to the office to slack off, was suddenly stunned and turned to look in the direction outside the city.

Chapter 2 may be a little later
