Wild Boar King

After effortlessly killing the Boar King, Yang Jian gained a rough understanding of his current strength.

salvation, after all, was not a conventional online game.

Besides allowing people to use this game platform to improve their strength, it also aimed to familiarize players with the rhythm of Abyssal Monsters.

What kind of rhythm could it be if it's abyssal?

The rhythm of getting beaten!

Either high-level, or strong talent.

Otherwise, you're just cannon fodder, out to get beaten!

If cannon fodder doesn't want to get beaten, you have to huddle together honestly and practice tactics.

Tanks, damage dealers, and healers must coordinate perfectly... Of course, this was Yang Jian's insight into the game's essence; other players didn't have the luxury of humoring themselves.

Opening the in-game forum, it was already in an uproar.

A sticky post, titled "Garbage Game, Ruining My Youth!", by author ID: Ten Years of Valoran.

'As titled!'

'I admit, this game is groundbreaking, beyond my comprehension. The modeling, the art design – I'd believe it if you told me I'd transmigrated...'

First, a torrent of praise, then the tone took a sharp turn.

'But, the designers are trash... First-class art, third-rate design. Even if you can't design a game yourself, can't you hire a professional game designer? Even if you copy from the internet?'

'A demonized wild rabbit, it took me so much time and effort to kill, purely by luck. In a head-on fight, if I didn't get a critical hit, I barely won; if it got one critical hit, I'd die instantly... Who the hell came up with this?'

'Alright! Since it had the word 'demonized', it's understandable for it to be stronger. But after finally forming a team and climbing to level three, I can't even solo a goat now, not even a hundred percent...'

'Yes! I admit I don't have equipment, but the drop rate is too damn low...'

By the end, it was almost entirely curses directed at the designers' ancestors!

And this forum, surprisingly, had no censored words. It was like an extraterritorial zone, where the outside world had no power over it!

The post was made ten minutes ago, and in just ten minutes, it had topped the charts with over a thousand replies, showing the depth of player resentment!

Just Chilling in the Group Chat: "First floor, sofa..."

No Cursing: "Designers are trash..."

Look, Airplane: "OP is awesome, already level three?"

Might as well bring a pig: "Sigh, grabbing rabbits is impossible now, can only team up to fight!"

Think a bit: "I asked a militiaman in the Newbie Village, he said we're still in the newbie protection period. After level ten, we can start PK, and dying will also cost experience!"

No Cursing: "Sigh, garbage game, ruining my youth!"

I am MT: "Heh heh, can only blame your talents... [Talent: Solid as a Rock (Purple)], Level four Boar King, can solo it easily..."

...Random Passerby: "Holy crap, this game has purple talents?"

Jarren Deer: "Is the one above my long-lost brother?"

Might as well bring a pig: "Why do I only have blue?"

...After watching for a long time, the discussion became increasingly derailed.

However, I did see an ID that every game has: Jianghu Baixiaosheng, who opened a post and was frantically analyzing... Although he didn't know the game's mechanics, it certainly wasn't for sightseeing!

It was made very clear when looking at the Abyssal Rift.

The abyss is approaching this world... "Is salvation indirectly extending our lives?"

'Hello everyone, I'm a programmer...'

'salvation, across all game versions, launched yesterday evening at six o'clock!'

'This game has been heavily advertised for half a month, so I decided to try and buy a helmet.'

'I originally just wanted to play a bit, relax, but I didn't expect to discover a huge secret about this game!'

'Before logging on, to fix a bug, I worked for over thirty consecutive hours. I planned to play for a while, get a feel for it, then go back to sleep!'

I didn't expect to find that while in the game, my entire body was in a state of deep sleep. Just now, at 12 o'clock, I tried to force myself offline to sleep, but I found myself refreshed and invigorated...'

Group Chat Expert: "Really?"

24K Pure Cow Horse: "I experienced it myself!"

Night Owl: "I'll log off and try..."

Tianmu Zhenjun: What levels are the dozen people in the studio now?

Yueyin Qingya: Most are level four. Only I'm a bit higher, currently level five!

Tianmu Zhenjun: Have you checked the forum? Hurry up and level up; I feel like the number of players in this game will explode tomorrow!

Yueyin Qingya: I've been checking the forum while slacking off. Oh, right, let me show you a pretty good item [Accessory: Healing Charm (Green)]

Checked the attributes.

[Accessory: Healing Charm (Green)]

[All Attributes +1]

[Healing: Immediately restores 120-260 HP upon use. CD: 240 seconds]

Tianmu Zhenjun: Your talent is too exaggerated. You even have accessories?

Yueyin Qingya: This wasn't a drop; I bought it. It went on the company's tab and cost fifty thousand yuan!

Tianmu Zhenjun: Don't save money. We need to spend this Summer Yuan quickly and continue recruiting people. Have them sign contracts, and it's best to arrange for everyone to live nearby!

Yueyin Qingya: Understood... We're fighting level seven monsters that are higher than our level. Where do we go after leaving the Newbie Village at level ten?

Yang Jian was truly surprised this time.

Tianmu Zhenjun: Have you calculated it? You'll be level ten and leaving the Newbie Village tonight?

Yueyin Qingya: ...If the experience gain keeps increasing like this, it might take two or three days to leave the Newbie Village!

Tianmu Zhenjun: Then what's the rush? We'll discuss it at the meeting tomorrow morning at eight!

Time always flies when chatting in groups.

After devouring another two-handed sword, Yang Jian was about to leave when he noticed some movement ahead.

[Boar King: LV5]

[Black Iron Rank]

[HP: 50000]

[Skills: Mud Armor, Savage Charge]

This was the first red-named monster Yang Jian had seen. He quickly retreated to a safe distance, not wanting to aggro it.

At this moment, the disadvantage of fighting alone became apparent.

If his fifteen subordinates were here, they could form a group to take on the BOSS now.

He checked the five magazines of the AK, then reloaded the Desert Eagle... Yang Jian had been on this lake island for several hours; he hadn't kept track of time, but he knew he had already devoured four or five pieces of equipment.

To the left of the center of the island, there was a large tree, likely able to withstand a few impacts from this thing!

The skill Savage Charge, without even looking at the description, was clearly an enhanced version of 'Charge'.

Although his talent was powerful, the time was still short, and his accumulation hadn't grown substantially.

It was only the first day of the server's launch, and given that entering the game equals deep sleep.

He'd be online at least 16 hours a day, meaning he could devour 160 pieces of equipment in ten days.

Currently, he had a white talent, only able to devour white equipment. When he could devour green, blue, and purple equipment... Heh heh... If the Abyssal Monster were slow-footed and ran a bit slower... No, that wouldn't do. Thinking about how he got his titan heart necklace, his restless heart immediately calmed down.

It cools him down and soothes his agitation. Every time he gets carried away, he thinks of this and becomes peaceful. He even loves eating beef now. It truly is a divine artifact... The Boar King was in a wandering state, so he couldn't just wait around.

He cut a few easy-to-climb notches into the tree he had scouted.

He also found a few backup large trees nearby.

In case this tree was broken, there would still be an alternative plan.

Yang Jian waited for a long time in the middle of the lake; he had already devoured one piece of equipment before it finally ambled over.

In assist mode, he raised his bow and fired an Arcane Shot.

-335, -147

The first hit was skill damage, the second was weapon damage.

Yang Jian had miscalculated earlier; the weapon damage of this firearm was indeed not high, and it might not keep up with mainstream weapon damage later on.

However, fighting monsters wasn't just about weapon damage; it was an overall bonus from Yang Jian's entire set of equipment.

Looking at the speed of equipment devouring, this gun still had some use... An ordinary person holding a firearm wouldn't even have attributes, and couldn't break the defense of monsters up to level five.

But Yang Jian's situation was like having a built-in cheat from his talent!

Of course, there are no cheats in the gods' game world; everything is the result of my hard work!

He quickly switched to the AK, then turned and, following his pre-planned route, climbed onto the first branch of the large tree.

Before he could even stand firm, the large tree shook violently.

If he hadn't hugged the nearby trunk, he would have been knocked down.

He pulled out his gun, set it to full-auto, and fired over a dozen shots at the Boar King's head.

-146, -127...-224.

A string of numbers floated above its head.

The Boar King retreated in an S-shaped pattern to a distance; running was impossible, as the aggro was firmly locked.

Yang Jian switched back to his ram horn bow and fired an Arcane Shot.

-473, -126

Very good, it even triggered a critical hit.

A grey light flashed across the Boar King's body, then it lowered its head, tusks pointed in Yang Jian's direction, and charged with Savage Charge!

Ignoring further attacks, Yang Jian hugged the tree trunk!

There was a loud crash!

At this moment, he still had the presence of mind to wonder if a tank class could really withstand this thing's charge?

He pulled out his gun and fired.

-48, -52... Why is the damage so low now?
