Chapter 2: Finally Not Weak

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

“All right, if I have to level up. So be it. Do you think I’m afraid? If you don’t let me log off after I level up, I… I might be forced to kill!”

Mo Fan felt a little helpless. Now, he could only play by this game’s rules.

“Hey, Sister Flower. Take a look at that scarecrow, why does it look so silly?”

A cute girl pointed at Mo Fan with her eyes wide open.

They were members of the same group who had obtained that weapon earlier.

The ones present here were two beauties with sexy bodies that could not be concealed despite their shabby-looking beginner clothes.

They had already cleared out most of the scarecrows nearby.

Mo Fan had not gone far either, so they quickly found him.

“Let’s go and try to get its weapon!”

A Little Red Flower waved her hand as the two beauties rushed forward.

The game had just started and ways to obtain equipment were just far too few.

The wooden sword and clothing given by the system had no attribute bonuses themselves.

A Little Red Flower could be considered lucky enough to obtain a Broken Wooden Stick.

She came up to Mo Fan.

Mo Fan did not hold back and used his wooden stick to poke A Little Red Flower.

-2

You are the silly one!

How rude! Did they think that he was like any other scarecrow?

Even if they were beautiful, he would not hesitate to kill them all!

Sooner or later, he would show them why flowers eventually turn red.

“Old Dream of Liang City” punched Mo Fan.

A Little Red Flower poked Mo Fan with her stick.

-4

This was ridiculous…

He was actually being ganged up by two little girls.

Mo Fan poked A Little Red Flower with the wooden stick once again.

-7 (Bleeding)

-7 (Bleeding)

“Oh no, Dream! I’m bleeding!”

“No way! This scarecrow can deal that much damage?”

“Scarecrows have a chance to cause bleeding damage. Be careful, you have to kill it quickly!”

Mo Fan did not expect that he would actually be blessed by the Goddess of Luck for once.

The 1% chance of causing bleeding was actually triggered this time.

But between the beauties’ shock and Mo Fan’s astonishment.

Mo Fan’s HP had dropped to 30. If they continued fighting, he would really die.

“No, I can’t give my wooden stick to these two girls!”

“Trying to make me drop my weapon? No way!”

Mo Fan looked at his surroundings and retreated as he fought.

“Ahh, Sister Flower, why do I feel like this scarecrow is escaping?”

“Dream, don’t think about anything else! Focus! It’s dying…”

“Oh no, we have aggroed other monsters!”

Seeing how flustered the two beauties were, Mo Fan snorted coldly in his heart.

Hmph, want to fight two against one?

Why don’t you take a look at where this is?

I have so many comrades, why should I be afraid of you?

Although they were weak monsters compared to these players, they had the advantage in numbers.

There were so many small wooden sticks to attack with, let’s see if they can withstand a barrage of our attacks!

Hahaha!

Mo Fan looked at the group of scarecrows beside him and could not help but feel proud.

“Dream, block that monster. I’ll kill this one first!”

The two beauties started fighting with the two scarecrows beside them.

Mo Fan kept retreating but the two beauties did not seem to want to let him off.

Mo Fan could only lure the monsters to them as he retreated.

Soon, a dozen scarecrows surrounded the beauties.

The situation slowly began to turn as the beauties fell into a precarious situation.

“It’s over, we can’t win!”

“Damn it, how can that scarecrow act like this?”

“I can’t take it anymore, I can’t recover my HP fast enough!”

“Even potions aren’t helping!”

As soon as “Old Dream of Liang City” finished speaking, she fell under the scarecrow’s wooden stick.

The last person she saw amidst her darkening consciousness was Mo Fan.

Mo Fan had taken advantage of the commotion to land the killing blow on her!

After being bullied by the players for so long, it was finally time for his vengeance!

Mo Fan waved his small wooden stick and continued to press on.

After a while, Mo Fan looked at the two female corpses and smiled sinisterly.

“Hehehe, you both actually called me foolish. Now, you know who’s the foolish one, right? Beauties with no brains!”

If these two beauties were still alive, they would probably vomit blood from sheer anger.

[Player Old Dream of Liang City (Level 1) has been killed. Obtained 10 Spiritual Energy Points, 1 Human Bloodline Fragment (Grade 0), 1 Star Fragment (Star Level 0), and 1 Monster Reputation Point.]

[Player A Little Red Flower (Level 1) has been killed. Obtained 10 Spiritual Energy Points, 1 Human Bloodline Fragment (Grade 0), 1 Star Fragment (Star Level 0), and 1 Monster Reputation Point.]

After dealing with these two players, Mo Fan’s leveling progress became 30/1000.

It increased a lot, but he was still far from crossing the threshold to leveling up.

After farming monsters for such a long time, most players had already reached Level 1.

A small number of them were even already at Level 2.

But Mo Fan had yet to level up even once.

If he wanted to log out of the game, he had to level up.

Mo Fan searched the two female corpses and found a few healing potions that could restore 10 HP.

It was a pity that the weapon held by “A Little Red Flower” did not drop.

[Health Potion (Small): Recover 10 HP per second for 3 seconds. Cooldown: 5 seconds]

Mo Fan realized that he could use these healing potions. He could not help but feel excited.

“I can obtain Spiritual Energy by killing players. Then, can I also kill wild monsters?”

Mo Fan looked at the adorable scarecrows beside him and an evil thought emerged.

Afraid of being ganged up after attacking a scarecrow, Mo Fan found a lone scarecrow deep in the forest and prepared to attack it.

“Brother, I’m sorry. I’m a scarecrow with ambitions!”

After confirming that there were no players around, he took the Broken Wooden Stick and poked the latter with all his might.

After Mo Fan poked the scarecrow twice with the small wooden stick, it began to resist.

-1

-3

The scarecrow seemed to have the same attack as him, so the damage it dealt was about the same.

Mo Fan’s expression darkened.

This scarecrow brother did not respect him at all!

Although he had just obtained some healing potions, he was reluctant to use them so early.

After all, he could not casually replenish these potions.

Fortunately, Mo Fan quickly thought of a solution.

These scarecrows truly had low intelligence.

Every time they moved, they would pause for a moment, but Mo Fan would not.

He attacked as he ran. Basically, he hit twice while the scarecrow brother could only hit once.

Thus, Mo Fan quickly killed the scarecrow brother.

[Weak Scarecrow (Level 0) has been killed. Obtained 10 Spiritual Energy Points, 1 Scarecrow Bloodline Fragment (Grade 0), 1 Star Fragment (Star Level 0), and 1 Player Reputation Point.]

“Hehehe, I didn’t expect to obtain Spiritual Energy after killing my own kind! I also obtained a Bloodline Fragment and Star Level Fragment. This is awesome!”

Looking at his scarecrow brother on the ground, Mo Fan nodded repeatedly.

However, Mo Fan quickly thought of an issue—would attacking a wild monster make other wild monsters hate and attack him?

He only had two revivals left.

If he were to experiment, he might respawn among a sea of players and die again.

Hence, Mo Fan decided to level up to Level 2 first.

It was too dangerous to fight with the players.

If he was not careful, he would be ganged up on once again.

There were not many players like “A Little Red Flower” who were brave enough to farm monsters with just a party of two.

Thus, Mo Fan had no choice but to look for another lonely scarecrow.

As he walked further into the forest, he went further and further away from the beginner village.

But Mo Fan did not care about this.

The most important thing for him right now was to find monsters to kill and level up.

Just like that, he started to farm monsters.

[Weak Scarecrow (Level 0) has been killed. Obtained 10 Spiritual Energy Points, 1 Scarecrow Bloodline Fragment (Grade 0), 1 Star Fragment (Star Level 0), and 1 Player Reputation Point.]

[Weak Scarecrow (Level 0) has been killed…]

[Weak Scarecrow (Level 0) has been killed…]

…

After about ten minutes, Mo Fan killed a lone player while farming scarecrows.

At this moment, there were already 10 Star Level Fragments in his inventory.

Next, he opened his status panel.

[Star Level Fragment: 10/10 (Star Ascension Possible)]

Mo Fan’s heart thumped as he said excitedly.

“Awesome, I can undergo Star Ascension now! Let’s go! Ascend!”

A golden light flashed.

The character name above his head changed from “Weak Scarecrow” to “Scarecrow”.

“Haha, I’m finally not weak anymore!”

Mo Fan smiled proudly and opened his status panel.

“Haha, my attributes are normal now. Let’s see if anyone still dares to fight me head-on!”

“Looking at the attributes, it seems like I can still continue to level up. Though I need more Star Level 0 Fragments, it seems…”

Mo Fan looked at the Weak Scarecrow beside him and smiled sinisterly.

Seeing that it was a scarecrow brother who was all alone, Mo Fan went up and attacked it with a stick.

-10

This scarecrow brother turned around in a daze and was once again attacked by Mo Fan.

-9

Only now did the scarecrow brother react and retaliate against Mo Fan.

-1

Mo Fan lost the minimum HP loss of 1 point.

“Hahaha, it feels so good to fight after a Star Ascension!”

Mo Fan continued to attack. He looked pleased with himself.

It did not take long before he finished off the scarecrow brother.

[Weak Scarecrow (Level 0) has been killed. Obtained 10 Spiritual Energy Points, 1 Scarecrow Bloodline Fragment (Grade 0), 1 Star Fragment (Star Level 0), and 1 Player Reputation Point.]

Just as Mo Fan was about to continue attacking the next scarecrow, numerous figures suddenly appeared in the forest in front of him.

The voices of players reverberated nearby.

“Let’s hurry up and move. Otherwise, we won’t be able to farm any monsters!”

“Sigh, I can’t even reach Level 2. There are too many people in this game.”

“I heard that our beginner village already has more than 90,000 people! And it’s still increasing!”

Mo Fan looked at the rapidly approaching players and immediately ran deeper into the forest.

There were so many players nearby.

If he did not run, he was bound to be surrounded and beaten up.

Although his attributes had increased by quite a bit, he was not arrogant enough to challenge a large group of players on his own.
