Before he knew it, it was already midnight.
In the Oracle world though, the popularity was still through the roof.
According to the system's real-time data: current online players in Yunbian Town, 98,352.
Online rate, a shocking 98%.
Tell me, what other game could ever be this crazy hot?
Of course, this was also closely related to today being Friday.
Because tomorrow was the weekend, students did not have class and office workers did not have work.
So naturally, a lot of people were planning to stay up all night.
Lin Mo was always walking at the very front of the crowd.
While players all over were still forming parties to grind in level 5–6 wild areas, and there were only a handful of players even in the level 7–8 wild areas, Lin Mo had already come alone to the Lv10 Flame Forest.
In the vast mountains and woods, blazing flames burned.
Humanoid monsters wreathed in fire, [Fire Demons], moved back and forth within.
Killing Fire Demons had a chance to drop the equipment material [Flame of Soul].
So, Lin Mo took down the Hero's Golden Bow and, without a word, stepped into the Flame Forest.
"ROAR!"
Ahead in his field of vision, a Fire Demon spotted an intruder, roared, and charged madly toward Lin Mo.
He waited for it to enter the effective range of 50 yards.
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Lin Mo opened with two arrows in a row, shooting out and hitting that Fire Demon dead-on.
-558 (Critical)!
-558 (Critical)!
The poor Fire Demon had not even seen what its enemy looked like before its 640 HP was sucked dry in an instant.
It fell to its knees and died on the spot.
[Ding～You have killed level 10 Fire Demon, EXP +200!]
Looking at the tier 2 orange weapon Hero's Golden Bow in his hand, Lin Mo could not help sighing, "Tier 2 gear is really fierce."
At the same time, a combat prompt sounded by his ear.
[Ding～Hero's Golden Bow special effect Heroic has triggered: Attack +30 (1/3), lasts 60 seconds!]
Lin Mo walked up to the Fire Demon's corpse and only picked up 4 copper coins.
There was no Flame of Soul.
Clearly, the drop rate for Flame of Soul was not 100%.
He stepped over the Fire Demon's body and locked onto another nearby target.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Another two arrows flew out.
-603 (Critical)!
-402!
[Ding～You have killed level 10 Fire Demon, EXP +200!]
[Ding～Hero's Golden Bow special effect Heroic has triggered: Attack +30 (2/3), lasts 60 seconds!]
[Ding～You have picked up Flame of Soul!]
After continuously shooting down three Fire Demons, the Hero's Golden Bow's Heroic effect had fully stacked to three layers.
At this point, Lin Mo's Attack had reached its peak value: 472.
In this state, as long as he crit, Lin Mo could one-shot a Fire Demon with a single arrow, not even needing a second shot.
And with a three-digit Agility as high as 112, his crit rate against level 10 small monsters was basically over 90%.
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
-693 (Critical)!
-693 (Critical)!
-693 (Critical)!
One arrow, one Fire Demon. Lin Mo was killing them way too comfortably.
The drop rate for Flame of Soul was one-third.
Lin Mo killed around a hundred Fire Demons before finally collecting 30 Flames of Soul.
At the same time, Lin Mo's level rose to 9.
He quickly moved on to the next place: Lv10 Flame Mountain Range.
The fire monkeys here, just like the Fire Demons, were level 10 monsters.
A crit one-shot them.
No crit, then two arrows.
Killing them was as easy for Lin Mo as killing little chicks.
The drop rate for Flame Gems was also one-third.
After killing around a hundred fire monkeys, Lin Mo collected 30 Flame Gems.
Last was the Mine.
He killed level 10 Stone Lions to collect Silver Iron.
At this time, a five-player party with an average level of 6, in pursuit of higher gains, had come to the Mine.
They actually did not feel that confident at first.
But when they saw, inside the Mine, a young man holding a bow one-shotting a Stone Lion with a single arrow, they instantly got pumped up and full of confidence.
The big-wave-haired girl in the team widened her eyes and looked up in admiration, "Wow, that guy is amazing! He can kill a level 10 Stone Lion with a single arrow?"
A four-eyed guy pushed his glasses up, his face full of disdain, "Amazing? Not necessarily. Looks like we picked the right place. The monsters here are high-level but totally weak."
"Come on, let's go in and grind too!"
So, the five of them walked into the Mine brimming with confidence.
Result: in not even half a minute, the four-eyed guy and another fat guy were blown into white light by Stone Lions.
The remaining two girls and one guy were beaten so badly they were crying for their moms and dads.
They went in upright, and crawled out of the Mine lying flat.
They did not even dare to look back, and fled in a panic from the Mine.
Lin Mo was speechless, "Don't run! Come keep me company!"
"So lonely, so empty."
After killing Stone Lions for half an hour, he finally collected 30 pieces of Silver Iron.
Lin Mo let out a long breath of relief, "All the materials are finally gathered."
"Once I go back and finish making the gear, I can go cash in that boss."
With excitement and anticipation in his chest, Lin Mo turned and left the Mine.
On the way back to Yunbian Town, Lin Mo checked his current level status: level 9, 95%.
Only one step away from level 10.
"Later on the way I'll just casually grind a few wild monsters to reach level 10. Once I go back and complete my class change, taking down the boss will be even more solid."
With the server having been open for only six hours, Lin Mo was already about to reach level 10.
He remembered clearly that in his previous life, because he was weak and kept getting bullied by the Chaotic World Guild, it took him three full days to leave the newbie village.
Compared to that, this life's Lin Mo really did look like he was hacking.
Lin Mo had endless energy all over his body.
He even kind of did not want to leave the newbie village too quickly.
"I haven't even really bullied Wang Junjie yet!"
Lin Mo knew very well: before level 10, this was exactly when Wang Junjie was the softest and sweetest, the easiest to bully.
Because before the level 10 class change, players could not learn skills. When PK-ing, it was pure stat versus stat, with no technique or mechanics involved at all.
So even if Wang Junjie had a ton of Chaotic World Guild players under him, to Lin Mo, they were just a bunch of cannon fodder.
But once they hit level 10—
Archers' Ice Arrow!
Mages' Ice Spike!
Knights' Shield Bash!
Warlocks' Aura, Death Bind!
These class skills, all with powerful control effects, could make your scalp tingle and lock you down in an instant.
"At that point, even if my stats crush them ten times over, once a few dozen Warlocks surround me and take turns 'F'ing me, even if each one only does 1 point of forced damage, they could still kill me."
After all, Oracle was a game that emphasized fairness and justice. Even top-tier whales who burned tens of millions of yuan would never be absolutely invincible.
So…
"While we're still not at level 10, Wang Junjie, hurry up and come out so I can bully you a bit more."
Just as he said that, a familiar voice came from not far away.
"Kneel!"
"I said kneel for me!"
In an open patch of woodland, surrounded by a large group of players with [Chaotic World] over their heads, Wang Junjie, holding his Magic Bow and stepping on a young man beneath his foot, was roaring arrogantly at a few trembling young girls in front of him, "Not kneeling, huh?"
"Fine!"
Saying that, Wang Junjie drew his bow and fired several arrows with "whoosh! whoosh!" instantly shooting [Skinny Monkey] and [Fat Dahai], who were pinned to the ground by Chaotic World players, into white light right on the spot.
When he turned his bow toward the Wind Whistling under his foot, the girls panicked.
"No! Don't kill Senior Ling Xiao!"
"We'll kneel, okay!"
Saying that, An Zhi Ruo Su, Sweet Sweet Girl, and those college girls who had followed Wind Whistling all burst into tears and knelt down one after another in front of Wang Junjie.
Because they were all ordinary people. They knew very well that once they angered someone like Wang Junjie, it would not just be this one time. From then on, their days in the Oracle world would never be easy.
Looking at this group of girls who were full of unwillingness, yet had no choice but to submit to him, Wang Junjie's twisted heart was greatly satisfied.
He ground his foot heavily into Wind Whistling's face, then bent down with a hideous grin and said, "Just a piece of trash like you, and you think you can steal my woman? You think you're worthy?"
"Once you graduate and go to work, making four or five thousand a month, the money you'll make in your whole damn life won't even be as much as what I spend on one woman. What the hell are you going to play with me with?"
All around, the Chaotic World Guild players burst into loud laughter.
And the other bystanders watching the drama all shook their heads and sighed.
"This isn't some showdown between Heaven Leaderboard number two and number three. This is a clash between two social classes."
"Exactly! I know them both. They're both students at Ning University. But one of them is a rich second generation, and the other is just a poor bookworm. They're not even in the same world."
"So why are they fighting then?"
"Seems to be over a girl? I don't really know the details either."
Having suffered great humiliation, Ling Xiao did not feel ashamed of his miserable state.
Instead, he lowered himself and begged Wang Junjie, "If you don't like Wanwan, then just let her go… Wang Junjie, I'm begging you…"
"Ptu!"
Wang Junjie spat a mouthful of saliva at Ling Xiao and sneered coldly, "Whether I like her or not, what the hell's that got to do with you?"
"I just want to sleep with her, what can you do about it?"
"Didn't you think you were pretty capable?"
"Ning University's heartthrob?"
"Top student?"
"You're so amazing, then use your strength to f*ck me up!"
"Otherwise, go convince Xia Wanwan to come sleep with me for one night, and I'll bless you two. How about that?"
Hearing this, Ling Xiao's fists clenched instantly, and his eyes filled with blood.
"Wang Junjie, I f*ck your mom!!"
"F*ck YOUR mother!", Wang Junjie kicked Ling Xiao flying with one kick.
"Sooner or later, Xia Wanwan's going to be my little toy between my legs. When that happens, you can just stand there and obediently watch how I f*ck her."
Just as Wang Junjie raised his Magic Bow and took aim at Ling Xiao to kill him—
"Wang Junjie!"
A shout suddenly came from the crowd.
Wang Junjie impatiently lifted his head, "Why are you calling Daddy?"
When he saw the figure stepping out from the crowd, his eyes cleared in an instant, and his face turned ashen.
