Online games: Starting from an encounter

At night, the stars are dim.

A layer of light mist permeated the entire mountain range, which looked quite gloomy.

Accompanied by the roar of lions, after a full hour and a half, Shen Lang finally killed 22 blue lions. A golden light flashed on his body and he was upgraded again.

"Ding!"

"System prompt: Congratulations to the player for upgrading and gaining 5 free attribute points. Please keep up the good work!"

"Level 8!"

Shen Lang breathed a sigh of relief and added all 5 free attribute points to strength without hesitation, and the attack power also increased to 79-83.

At this stage, Shen Lang still focuses on increasing attack, and it is time to consider increasing agility after level 10.

Picking up the two silver coins on the ground, Shen Lang then looked at the time.

It was less than half past ten, and he could still kill for more than an hour.

As for the small blood recovery bottle, there were about a hundred bottles, which was enough for him to squander.

Shen Lang took a deep breath and continued to work hard!

...

"Bang!"

A few minutes later, another blue lion was defeated by Shen Lang, and three silver coins and a blue armor dropped.

"Gear dropped!"

Seeing this, Shen Lang was delighted. This was the first piece of equipment dropped by the blue lion!

He quickly picked up the breastplate, and the attributes instantly appeared in front of him.

[Blue Lion Armor] (Armor)

Grade: Black Iron

Defense: +18

HP: +200

Required Level: 10

...

"Nimbus!"

Shen Lang put away the armor with a curse, looking helpless.

It's not that the attributes of this armor are not good enough, but it is very awesome. It's just an armor that he can't equip at all.

However, Shen Lang was not discouraged. He still had a long way to go before reaching level 10, and maybe he could get leather armor.

"Ding!"

"System announcement: Congratulations to the player [Jian Qi Jing Lan] for successfully reaching level 10 and becoming the first player in the Huaxia region to reach level 10. Special rewards: level +1, luck +1, 10 gold coins."

"System announcement..."

Just then, a system announcement resounded throughout the server, looping three times in a row. For a moment, everyone was shocked, and Shen Lang was no exception.

"It's that Jian Qi Jing Lan again..."

Shen Lang looked at the big red words floating in the air, feeling somewhat helpless.

He felt that he was already very powerful, but now he had just reached level 8, which was two levels behind the first place. The gap was not small.

Of course, Jian Qi Jing Lan was the first player to kill the Boss. The equipment must be good, and the reward was level +1 and 10 gold coins, so it was reasonable to upgrade faster.

"It seems that we can't underestimate the world..."

Shen Lang sighed, then rushed to the next blue lion with a dagger.

He didn't want to be left behind too far...

The roar of the lions continued, echoing between the dense bushes. Shen Lang fought hard and killed the blue lions one by one.

Soon, the time came to 12 o'clock midnight.

Shen Lang also killed 25 blue lions, but he did not reach level 9, and he still needed 2,500 experience points.

The experience bar from level 8 to 9 is 8,000 points. Shen Lang killed 25 blue lions and only gained 550 in total. 0 experience points.

Now he is level 8, and the experience points for killing blue lions have dropped to 220 points. He needs to kill 12 more.

However, it is already 12 o'clock in the morning, and the experience points for killing monsters have been halved. It is not cost-effective. Even if he fights all night, it is estimated that it will be difficult to reach level 10.

In this regard, Shen Lang had no choice but to stop and chose to go offline and wait until tomorrow to fight again.

...

Take off the helmet, Shen Lang breathed a sigh of relief, got up and went to the bathroom to take care of his internal needs.

"Ding ding ding..."

Back in bed, Shen Lang turned on his mobile phone. In the WeChat group, Guan Suo and Chen Ming were chatting happily.

[Guan Suo: The twelve county cities in our Huaxia area have been refreshed. Which county city should we go to for development? ]

【Chen Ming: I think Langya City is a good choice. It is located in the eastern part of the Central Plains, surrounded by high-level monsters and rich in resources. 】

【Guan Suo: I think so too. After all, our Qinghai City belongs to the east, and its geographical location is somewhat similar to Langya City. I see that most people in the local forum have chosen Langya City. 】

【Chen Ming: Let's wait for Langzi to log off and see what he thinks. 】

【Guan Suo: It's past 12 o'clock, why hasn't Langzi logged off yet. 】

【Shen Lang: I just logged off, let me take a look first. 】

Shen Lang replied, and then opened the Tianyan official website. At the top was the announcement of the update of the twelve county cities.

As players reached level 10, the twelve county cities in the Huaxia area were also updated.New, they are:

[Chang'an City][Jinling City][Langya City][Yanjing City][Lin'an City][Jiangdu City][Fengtian City][Tianfu City]

[Beiyuan City][Donglai City][Nan'an City][Xihuang City]

The first eight cities are located in the Central Plains, but the locations are a bit messy, while the last four cities are located at the farthest ends of the four directions of the Huaxia area, which are relatively remote.

Of course, the twelve county cities have their own advantages, some have additional bonuses for killing monsters, some increase the explosion rate of killing monsters, and some can directly comprehend production skills, etc.

However, relatively speaking, the bonus of the four border cities is slightly larger. After all, the four cities are located in the border areas, and fewer people choose to go there.

Shen Lang took a general look at the situation of each city and felt that they were all similar. There was no county city he particularly wanted to go to.

"Ding!"

[Chen Ming: Langzi, have you thought about it? As far as I know, Lin's Xiaotong should also go to Langya City. Please consider it! ]

In the WeChat group, Chen Ming sent a message that made Shen Lang somewhat confused.

Shen Lang still had some impression of Lin Jia Xiaotong. If I remember correctly, she should be ranked third in the Qinghai City ranking list.

But whether Lin Jia Xiaotong goes to Langya City has nothing to do with him...

[Guan Suo: Who is Lin Jia Xiaotong? ]

[Chen Ming: She is the first goddess of Qinghai University, Lin Tong, ID Lin Jia Xiaotong, one of the spokespersons of our Qinghai City, and now the first in the Qinghai City ranking list, and the leader of "Xueyu". ]

(Xueyu: A group of student players from Qinghai University, headed by Lin Tong.)

[Guan Suo: That's not right, isn't Langzi the first? ]

[Chen Ming: Langzi was pushed down just now and became the second...]

[Shen Lang: What does it have to do with me where she goes? (Speechless)]

[Chen Ming: Langzi, you don’t know. As far as I know, your goddess Nanxi and that Lin family Xiaotong should be good friends, so... (smirk)]

[Shen Lang: That has nothing to do with me. (rolling eyes)]

Shen Lang closed the WeChat group and opened the Qinghai City ranking list. Sure enough, he had dropped to second place, and the first place was Lin family Xiaotong.

[Um, Mingzi, do you know Nanxi’s ID? ]

Shen Lang hesitated for a moment and couldn’t help asking in the WeChat group.

[Chen Ming: Haha, of course I know! ]

[Nanxi, ID Luoxi, is now ranked ninth in the Qinghai City ranking list. (smirk)]

[Shen Lang: You are really well-informed. ]

[Chen Ming: That’s right, it’s all on the forum, full of gossip, don’t you guys visit it? ]

[Shen Lang: No wonder you are only level 5. ]

[Chen Ming: ...]
