Chapter 46
Aurelia's Potion

The players were discussing heatedly, then, more players appeared. They seemed to be players who had respawned after death. They gathered together and discussed their tragic experiences in the game.

“Damn, this game is unplayable! What monster hunter? I think it’s the monsters hunting us!”

“Exactly! And the weapons are so hard to use!”

“Speaking of which, have you guys heard of any players killing the Great Jaggi?” One player said, and the other players shook their heads.

“No, I saw a player organize over 10 players to hunt Great Jaggi before… I secretly followed them, and the fight was so intense!”

“I know, I know. I think they called themselves ‘Wildness’!”

“Then what? How did it go? With so many people, they should have won, right?”

“Win your ass! They didn't coordinate at all. The fight was intense, but the archers probably only hit one out of ten shots. Even when they hit, the damage was pathetic. Several melee fighters even got scared by the monster… In the end, they got wiped out by Great Jaggi going full-blown!”

“Tragic!”

“Haha, I’m not the only one who missed!” The player with the bow and arrow said excitedly.

“Has Fatso come out of the prologue yet?” One player asked.

“He’s a real explorer!”

“We really need Fatso’s guide here! -!”

Hearing the players’ discussion, Zhang Xingyu broke out in a cold sweat.

Although he designed this monster hunter world to be realistic, the strength of the monsters was much higher than in the original game. But it shouldn’t be the case that the players were getting slaughtered by a creature like Great Jaggi!

Of course, it was normal to die a few times in the beginning because they were unfamiliar with the attack patterns of the Great Jaggi. But they shouldn’t be this bad!

Not to mention, this game could also be played with a “human wave” tactic!

The monster hunter world here was similar to online games like World of Warcraft. There was no player limit on the outdoor maps. This meant that dozens of players could hunt monsters together at the same time!

For this reason, the Ancient Forest map was very large. The areas that the players explored so far were only a small part of it. The strength of the monsters had also been increased, including higher attack power and changes in attack patterns.

But even if they were all newbies, shouldn’t they have been able to succeed with over ten players?

They actually failed?

“I… I feel something’s wrong…” Zhang Xingyu muttered.

“Ah, there you are. You were pretty fast. How many times did you die in the prologue?” A familiar voice came from behind him. Zhang Xingyu turned around and saw the little lolita, Otiria. She was carrying a giant sword bigger than her body and looked like she had traveled far.

“Oh, you got your starting weapon already? Is it… the longsword?” The little lolita said in surprise.

“Yes, it feels right for me.” Zhang Xingyu said, “Did you just come back from outside?”

“Yes, I’m preparing for hunting. I collected some medicine. Here.” As she spoke, Otiria took a few Max Potions and a Mega Potion from her waist bag and handed them over.

“The few nearest medicine gathering spots to the base are all crowded with players waiting for respawns. Honey production is very low. I could only get this much recovery medicine.”

“Uh… what’s this?”

“Just take it. These are life-saving items. You should know that this game has a daily death limit. If you die too many times, you can’t play anymore. Plus, the monsters here are extremely strong. Our starting gear is as fragile as paper. We’ll die in a few hits. And we’re also broke. We can’t afford any equipment, let alone many items. We have to collect them ourselves!”

Zhang Xingyu wanted to refuse, but seeing the little lolita’s determined expression, he could only take the medicine.

Zhang Xingyu didn't know how much effort the little lolita had put in for these medicines. She even died once on the way!

As the little lolita said, because the game had a death limit, players would do their best to avoid death. However, the battles in this game were extremely dangerous. One mistake and you could get killed by a monster. Therefore, recovery items became very important!

But the worst part was that the game provided only a pathetic amount of money in the beginning. You could barely buy any medicine, let alone equipment!

So, players could only rely on themselves.

For example, recovery potions could be made from herbs collected in the wild using the hunter tools.

However, the Ancient Forest was full of dangers. It was fine near the base, but once you went deep into the Ancient Forest, the chance of encountering large monsters increased rapidly…

At this stage, players were struggling to deal with even the Great Jaggi, not to mention the terrifying Great Jaggi and the mysterious monster that could electrocute. Many players had been electrocuted to death without even seeing what the monster looked like!

The gathering spots in safer areas were now crowded with players, waiting for a chance. Otiria didn’t want to fight with them. So, she went deeper into the Ancient Forest to gather and ran into the mysterious monster that could electrocute!

Otiria remembered seeing several herbs under a large tree. She carefully observed her surroundings and didn't see any monsters. She cautiously ran over to collect them. However, she had only collected two herbs when she heard a sizzling sound.

Before she died, Otiria saw that the monster seemed to be hiding in the tree, attacking her from above!

This game had “ambush” attacks. If you attacked an enemy without being discovered, your attack power would be increased, and there was a high chance of a critical hit. Ambushes were not only effective against monsters, but also against hunters!
