“Who’s this guy? Why is he following the boxer around?”

“Did he already become a disciple, becoming a student of Han Hai the Boxing Master?”

“I just saw him. He arrived later than us. How could he have become a disciple?”

A crowd murmured quietly, Han Hai the Boxing Master swept a glance across the crowd, his gaze sharp. He lightly shook his head and shouted loudly, “Are you all here to worship, to learn boxing?”

The crowd of players around him were mainly just beginning their professional quests. They didn’t wish to choose the first profession they came across as their own, but didn’t want to say they were just here to learn the ropes, so they all fell silent.

Only the tall and thin one who spoke earlier glanced around, then stepped forward and said, “Master, we want to understand the characteristics of the boxer profession first, then we’ll compare it with others to see if we’re really suitable for learning boxing. If we are suitable, we’ll naturally become disciples of yours and learn boxing skills!”

“Yes, yes, we first need to understand it!” the others exclaimed in conjunction.

“Well, that’s fine. However, if you want to understand the profession of an Ancient Martial Arts Master, you must pass my test. Those who fail the test do not have the qualifications to access this profession!” Han Hai the Boxing Master declared, his face displaying high arrogance.

“We’re willing, we’re willing!” the crowd chanted altogether.

“Alright, then go fetch me ten Fine Iron Boxing Gloves. As long as you can complete this task, 1 will explain the characteristics of the Ancient Martial Arts Master profession to you!” Han Hai the Boxing Master waved his hand and continued, “Fine Iron Boxing Gloves can be dropped by the Iron Fist Zombies, although the drop rate is somewhat low, I hope you can hold out. Now go, stop standing around me!”

All the players simultaneously received a system prompt.

System: Ancient Martial Arts Master Han Hai has issued you a challenge: The Boxer’s Test. Task Requirement: Hunt Iron Fist Zombies and obtain ten Fine Iron Boxing Gloves; o/io. Time Limit: 3 hours. Rewards: Receive commendation from Ancient Martial Arts Master Han Hai and information on the “Ancient Martial Arts Master” profession. Punishment: Greatly reduce Han Hai’s positive sentiments towards you, lose an opportunity to learn about the “Ancient Martial Arts Master” profession.

“Damn, Iron Fist Zombies? That’s a Lvl 15 creature. One punch from it can decrease my vitality points by forty or more…” someone muttered in disbelief. “A Lvl 15 monster? Are you serious? Is this test that hard?”

Song Jian was taken aback, immediately opening the chat channel. In it, people had already begun to privately message Jiang Hong to ask about the situation. World Channel: (Pan Ming) Brother Jiang Hong, are you there? What’s this boxing test you mentioned last time, is it to get ten Fine Iron Boxing Gloves within three hours?

World Channel: (Jiang Hong) Ten Fine Iron Boxing Gloves? No, the test 1 had was just to hunt ten ordinary Lvl 10 creatures. There was no time limit, and it was very easy to complete.

World Channel: (Zhou Guang) What? You only had to hunt common Lvl 10 creatures? Why is our test so hard, requiring us to hunt Lvl 15 creatures? Why is there such a big difference between people?

World Channel: (Jiang Hong) Lvl 15 creatures? Iron Fist Zombies? Heh, I wish you guys good luck.

The World Channel was filled with wails of despair, however, since they had already accepted the quest, they had no choice but to try. Although Lvl 15 creatures were powerful, in the daytime, when their attributes were halved, they were only as strong as Lvl 7 or 8 creatures.

Just after Han Hai the Boxing Master issued the task, Song Jian immediately summoned his motorcycle and rushed towards the area where the Iron Fist Zombies were located.

“That guy has a motorcycle already? How did he get it?”

“Do monsters drop motorcycles? Did he make it himself or did a monster drop it? Are there mechanical monsters now?”

“Impressive, there are so many experts in this game. It looks like he’s already strong enough to solo Lvl 15 creatures, otherwise he wouldn’t be in such a hurry!”

“Soloing Lvl 15 common creatures isn’t too difficult, we should all be able to do it. But obtaining enough Fine Iron Boxing Gloves from killing creatures within three hours… That’s a bit more challenging!”

Those who had already leveled up to Lvl 10 were players with considerable strength, typically possessing two or three attack skills. With enough caution, they should be able to solo a Lvl 15 creature.

“Anyone want to team up? We’re safer in a group, and most importantly, it will speed up our hunting!” someone shouted.

“Does this game have a team setting? How are the drops distributed?” In this game, as long as you inflict damage to the monster, even just a little, you are entitled to loot. As of now, there weren’t any team mechanisms for hunting in the wild, so once a monster was killed, chaotic looting was likely to occur.

“Let’s take turns picking up! Trust in luck. Whoever gets the Fine Iron Boxing Gloves can keep them!”

“That sounds good, I’m Lvl 10 and have two long-range attack skills. Anyone want to team up with me?”

Outside the villa of Ancient Martial Arts Master Han Hai, several Lvl 10 players started forming teams in a lively and noisy manner. Seven or eight players ultimately formed three teams, preparing to head towards the area where the Iron Fist Zombies resided.

The number of people in a team shouldn’t be too few. If it’s too few, hunting becomes difficult. Conversely, if it’s too many, taking turns picking up loot means it might take a long time to have a turn, making efficiency potentially worse than solo hunting.

Most people formed teams of three. While they were still busily forming groups, Song Jian had already arrived in the area inhabited by Iron Fist Zombies on his motorcycle.

This area included a multi-purpose six-story mall, next to it was a three-story New China Bookstore, and in front was a plaza with a fountain. Long wooden benches were placed around the edge of the plaza.

At this time, there were three or four people sitting around the fountain in the middle of the plaza. In front of each of them was a black cloth laid out with several objects flashing with colored lights.

After checking their levels, Song Jian noticed that these people were all Lvl 10, their equipment completed and they looked rather capable.

“Huh, another one’s come. Looks like we’ll have to work harder, there are more and more Lvl 10 players!” A player who was bored from manning his stall saw Song Jian approaching and his eyes immediately lit up. The other players followed suit.

“We’ve been in the game for over a month now, and should have leveled up to Lvl 10 just from grinding monsters, not to mention the task of creating a safe house…” One of the players next to him snorted, “But the ones who dare to come to a Lvl 15 monster area to farm are few and far between!”

“Exactly, we’re five levels ahead in grinding. Other players at most dare to hunt Lvl 10 or even weaker creatures!”

“Hey man, come take a look! All Lvl 10 equipment here, and also some rare materials. Certainly something will catch your interest!” One of the players shouted towards Song Jian.

Lvl 15 creatures don’t necessarily drop Lvl 15 equipment, they could drop equipment from a lower level. But the lower the level of the equipment, the better the quality.

The black cloth in front of the player was laid out with several green-quality Lvl 10 equipment pieces that caught the eye.
