With the little old cannibalistic grasses in the pit turning into flakes of light, the sky was almost too dark to see.坑里那些吃人的小老草变成了光斑，天空几乎黑得看不见了。

I don't know if anyone has ever experienced the darkness of the night in the countryside many years ago, that kind of darkness with almost no artificial light source is very oozing, of course, the starry sky at that time is also extraordinarily beautiful.

Now Wang Shui was in the middle of a dense forest, the sky was the big ass of the second level of "Aeon Grant", surrounded by black bushes, making him dream of his childhood.

His backpack only has a small horse lamp - this is still after a day of brushing, when he returned to the village in the afternoon to buy gathering tools piggyback.

But in the truly dark night of the dense forest, no amount of brightness in his hand would bring a sense of security.

Wang Shui quickly gathered the Carnivorous Grass Nectar and prepared to leave the place before it became completely dark, and on the way, he verified that the trap he had dug would not be refreshed tomorrow.

Yes, he had dug a trap.

He dug a large pit, two meters in diameter and over a meter deep, near the center of the battle clearing he had made, directly breaking the shovel he had gotten from the village.

Then he got some vines on top of it, without much cover other than that.

The idea of digging a trap was born by Wang Shui during his many attempts to lure monsters, and he realized that man-eating plants had eyes but they didn't seem to work very well.

Yes, the plant, had eyes and the two eyeballs were always looking in different directions with an appearance of being full of wisdom.

It did turn the side with the eyes to the front when it moved, and when it turned, it didn't do it in a small circle like an animal with legs, it poked a vine into the ground as a fulcrum and then used a mass of rooted vines to push itself to draw a circle and turn.

The speed is not slow, but for humans this turning action is comparable to a large truck turning around, seeing this guy turn around Wang Shui also have to get out of the way.

Of course, when turning around the man-eating grass will not be beaten in place, when Wang Shui took advantage of it to turn around and close to attack, it will still use the "spit" and vine attacks to lock Wang Shui, apparently this monster is not just relying on the pair of eyes full of intelligence to find the enemy.

Sensitive to the enemy, but to the foot is much worse, there is a rock on the ground tree roots and so on, the man-eating grass will hold up a big bottle like a tumbler directly run over.

Therefore, Wang Shui thought of traps, want to use traps to limit the movements of the man-eater grass to facilitate the kill.

Wang Shui, who had a very high level of execution, quickly tried with pits of different depths, and eventually found that a pit of about one and a half meters was the limit to change the logic of the man-eater grass's pathfinding, and it would be very difficult for it to climb out of the pit if it was more than one meter.

Wang Shui enlarged the pit and then found some thick vines to cover the trap casually, and smoothly pitted the next unlucky person.

People who hadn't played with traps might not have the cognizance, traps would seldom be like a cartoon work, waiting for the prey to completely walk on it before suddenly collapsing, this kind of trap needed a very precise trigger design.

The cannibal grass fell down Wang Shui's Lazy Pit, it was half of its body sliding downward and tipping down, stuck directly on the trap pit diagonally.

Wang Shui then had to quickly run behind it and kick its big ass hard and hard until it fell completely. Its tentacle-like vines were stuck moving around in the small space, and in the end, it could only watch as Wang Shui trimmed its branches and leaves with a sword.

The great benefactor Wang Shui used this pit to continuously help a dozen or so poorly grown cannibal grasses, and kept exhausting himself until he finally had another act of kindness (awakening) and ran to cut some long wooden sticks as thick as his arm, sharpened one end and then roasted it over a fire, so that the carbonized and treated wooden thorns were hard and corrosion-resistant.

First of all, around the trap wall vertically inserted a circle full of wooden spikes, to enhance the structure of the trap to prevent the collapse of the soil layer. Then some wooden thorns were sporadically arranged at the bottom, the number of wooden thorns at the bottom should not be too many, after setting up more, the pressure assigned to each thorn would become smaller, which might lead to the thorns not piercing through the skin of the man-eating grass.

After Wang Shui's adjustments, five wooden thorns were finally kept at the bottom of the pit.

With the addition of the wooden thorns, when Wang Shui was trimming the branches and cutting the leaves for the little old men in the pit, every two to three seconds an additional five or more dozen points of damage would explode on their heads - if the wooden thorns were hanging onto the walls of the traps, the number of damages would be increased as well.

This made it efficient, and in less than two hours in the afternoon, the number of cannibals that had fallen into Wang Shui's vile traps was more than the morning and noon combined (which was around 40 based on the dense candies that were dropped).

After receiving this last customer, there weren't any more man-eaters around, Wang Shui checked his status and was just about to leave, when a new man-eater was refreshed right next to the battle clearing - with a flower on its head.

WTF! Could it be the system's compensation for toying with me?

In an instant, Wang Shui suddenly felt the happiness of being immersed in a hot spring, and without thinking, he picked up a stone and threw it over, throwing stones to attract monsters had become instinctive, and he was going back to the village and prepared to get a leather bag to contain pebbles from the river.

Although the sky is gradually becoming dark, but the kill without fear, with flowers individual just appear relatively rare, the actual attribute value is about the same than the general killer grass, the body size will be a little smaller.

With the help of the "horticultural pit", Wang Shui a minute out of the head of the flower on the head of the little sister to deal with, which most of the time is to wait for it to turn around and fall into the pit.

Fortunately, this time, the thatched cottage did not have any more problems, [small cannibal grass ovules] appeared in the drop items normally, of course, only one quantity.

But compared to the ovules, Wang Shui was more concerned about the next harvest, he was ready to use the most complete [Gathering] skill on this flower-bearing individual.

After buying various gathering tools in the afternoon, Wang Shui realized that the benefit of using tools plus gathering by hand was about three times higher than bare gathering, and if it wasn't for the fact that the little old cannibal grasses really only produced syrups and vines, he would have chopped these goods one by one.

Before, he couldn't spare the durability of the sword, but now that it was a rare individual, with Wang Shui's veteran player intuition, there must be a special drop on it.

Wang Shui first confirmed that [Collection] was in effect, and after choosing to collect manually, he chopped his sword on the mouth of the cannibal grass's bottle, and the [Bronze Sword] in his hand at this time transformed into a woodchipper and flew up and down, breaking the cannibal grass's tough-as-leather bottle open quickly.

A large puddle of yellow-green mucus was piled up at the bottom of the bottle, underneath, the wooden thorns that slightly penetrated the tip could still be seen, and the flower at the top was also chopped down by Wang Shui, and the splitting scene was too horrible that it might scare the other cannibal grasses.

After dividing most of the parts as much as possible, Wang Shui clicked on the [Gathering] skill confirmation window suspended in the air, this was the law he had mastered in the afternoon when he brought his small shovel to gather herbs - dividing the gathering target as much as possible would yield more things.

[Gathering completed!

["Honey of Cannibal Grass": 500ml*12]

[Vine: 5]

"Carnivore's Flower: 1"

"Small Cannibal's Ovule": 1

What's going on?

What's going on? How did you produce two ovules from one flower, little sister?

The sudden feeling of happiness made Wang Shui gasp for breath, "Did I really have a lucky break?!" The thoughts stuffed his mind.

Luckily, the surroundings that had darkened quickly cooled his brain.

Wang Shui quickly moved over the remaining sticks to simply surround the trap, and also threw in a few sticks to block the wooden spikes, just in case some daredevil rushed at night and fell in, causing him to turn red in the city.

After packing up, Wang Shui lifted up his horse lamp and rushed back to the village along the river at high speed, and went straight to Auntie Broker's house, and got the [Tough Refinement Sword] in the auntie's eyes, I was right about you.

The new weapon's weight value was 30, which was directly double that of the Bronze Sword (15), and the heavy and thick feel made Wang Shui momentarily difficult to adapt.

This story has been taken without authorization. Report any sightings.

This value was definitely not kilograms, but Wang Shui felt that it couldn't be pounds either, it did feel like it was more than a kilogram, but not by much, the new sword's "+7" strength bonus allowed Wang Shui to swing it, but a weapon used for combat is not something that can be swung.

After getting the sword in his hands, Wang Shui still had a lot of materials to deal with, he went to the pharmacy to sell the herbs and recorded the price, then went to the grocery store and sold a bunch of vines for 20 kor.

It was worth mentioning that the "Cannibal Grass Flower" was a medicinal herb, and Wang Shui sold it to the pharmacy at a price of 1,210 kor, and this flower accounted for nearly one-third of his income for the day.

So, this [Gathering] skill seems to be unexpectedly lucrative.

When Wang Shui brushed the monsters, he had originally planned to go to the village's tavern in the evening to sit down, it wasn't that he loved to drink, he just wanted to take care of the business of the gentle and cute NPC big sister, and in the meantime, he explored the limits of the stamina of this game character.

He had opened the "Restriction Level Specification Removal Limit" when he was sorting out the props on one of his journeys.

However, after getting his hands on the [Sword of Toughness and Refinement], he couldn't resist the urge to test the sword and went to the village militia training area to rent a large target.

The new sword was really hard to maneuver, when using a generalized sword technique like [Linear Attack], holding the blade flat was fine, quickly stabbing and focusing on the tip of the sword, while also doing the twisting of the tip of the sword.

Holding the sword at chest height and focusing on the sword while accomplishing many sword control operations with one hand resulted in movements that were very easy to distort, and Wang Shui tried three times before succeeding once.

The [Angry Stab], which was exclusive (but not exclusive) to the [One-Handed Straight Sword], was much better, this sword technique was more inclined to a physical sprinting motion, the sword only needed to be kept facing the target, and when it was close to the target and then stabbed out, Wang Shui would almost never miss.

At the same time, the [Slant Chop] and [Horizontal Chop] sword techniques have become more difficult to recover, and after the sword technique is finished, Wang Shui has to use more power to adjust his stance, which indirectly leads to the stiffness of the movement, which also lengthens the time of "attack recovery" (note the difference between "strike recovery", D2, and other games). (Note the difference between "strike recovery", which in games like D2 refers to the time it takes to recover from stiffness after an attack, and "attack recovery", which is similar to the term "attack backlash" used in MOBA games).

The power of sword techniques and even the power of normal attacks were significantly increased, but this stalemate time was unacceptable to Wang Shui. He didn't have teammates and couldn't alternate with his teammates to fight off monsters to avoid the risk of staleness; lone wolf players had to be flexible and maneuverable all the time.

Just like what Sword Technique Instructor Brother Seven said, the essence of the sword was to always maintain enough space to get away!

Want to shorten the "attack recovery" time, the strategy forums gave two methods: First, increase the power attribute, after the power is high, the control of sword skills and attacks will also be enhanced; Second, improve the proficiency of sword skills, not only represents the skill level proficiency, but also the player's own proficiency in the control of sword skills.

As long as the hand feel and operation is good enough, even heavy weapons can be used with a light feeling.

Mastering the sword in the hand is the purpose, but swinging the sword to destroy the target in front of him is Wang Shui's personal will, looking at the wooden target wrapped in iron skin chopped up and crumbs flying, Wang Shui's heart a depressed breath is being unraveled, is being released ......

Sword by sword, the speed is getting faster and faster, the wound is getting bigger and bigger, Wang Shui is not like the original group of players like thinking about death and life here, he is just venting, just relieving pressure, relieving ...... hatred?

His hatred - perhaps this mood can not be called hatred, probably a suffocating and annoying feeling of depression.

This feeling was born when he was resurrected by the system, when he came to this new world full of extraordinary fun.

Doesn't it sound ridiculous?

Resurrected, entering the infinite space of the transcendent, seeing an infinite and wonderful world, wow it really sounded especially cool and wonderful!

But is this Wang Shui's choice? Could he make a choice?

He was just a useless social animal with no hands! He wasn't a natural warrior! Much less a madman!

His knowledge base, his three views, and his abilities directly rammed him with the foundation of an ordinary person.

For half a year, every day to face a variety of strange shapes and shapes of various races of awakened people, Wang Shui surface calm actually has been fearful, he is afraid, he is afraid, he is really afraid of which guests a moment of displeasure slap him to death ......

But he still had to pit people, still had to make money, because he couldn't gain skills, he was just a life system craftsman, he, wanted to live.

If the system hadn't resurrected him, he probably would have been able to accept death, but having life again would have filled him with awe at that eternal lonely death.

Wang Shui really held his breath for a long time, he had no choice but to be pushed forward all the time, he was a weakling, a weakling with no combat experience much less a strong heart, even the sisters in Flower Street could overpower him.

But finally, he finally gathered the courage to enter the infinite world again, finally picked up a weapon for the first time, even if he was pitted by his natural ability, even if he was discovered by Kayaba Akihiko as a means of preserving his life, even if he might die!

He finally did, for the first time, grip the sword in his hand.

It was this sword whose attributes brought a sense of security, this heavy sword that brought him a strong sense of security, a confidence that had never existed before.

[Sword of Toughness and Refinement] Countless times filled with blue light, countless times vigorously tearing through targets from various angles, Wang Shui felt his own aura for the first time, an aura he had never seen before, never been able to comprehend!

For the first time, the sword blade he swung out did not carry a trace of fear or hesitation in it.

Sheathing his sword, Wang Shui stood in front of the completely shattered target and slowly regained the steadiness of his breathing, feeling the physical weakness after the adrenaline receded, as well as the mental exhaustion after a large number of high-frequency use of sword techniques.

He just stood there the whole time, not realizing anything or suddenly acquiring some strong mindset, he just regained his composure after venting.

The night ended in the quiet bed of the inn, ending in Wang Shui's first dreamless and peaceful sleep in half a year.这一夜在客栈安静的床上结束，以王水半年来第一次无梦的安宁睡眠结束。

............

............

After venting his destructive desires was a strange refreshing feeling, and his body was very light and strong, making Wang Shui more confident to face the world.破坏欲发泄出来后有一种奇异的清爽感觉，而且身体十分轻盈有力，让王水更加自信地面对这个世界。

According to Wang Shui's attributes now that he had immediately reached level four and was equipped with the [Sword of Toughness and Refinement], even if he rushed straight to the labyrinth area, it would be more than enough.按照现在王水的属性，他已经升到了四级，并且装备了【坚锻剑】，就算是直接冲向迷宫区域，也已经足够了。

However, today was only the fourth day of the game, and according to the plot, the first tier BOSS raid would be around 20-30.不过，今天只是比赛的第四天，按照剧情来看，第一层BOSS的副本会在20-30个左右。

The players of the first and second tier, on the one hand, were afraid of falling behind in battle power and desperately raiding, desperately heading towards the maze, on the other hand, they also treasured their own little lives very much, and before exhausting the means of enhancing themselves on the first tier, they probably wouldn't risk raiding the labyrinth BOSS.一二线的玩家，一方面是害怕战力落后而拼命突袭，拼命的朝着迷宫而去，另一方面，他们也非常珍惜自己的小命，在精疲力尽之前有了第一层的提升手段，他们恐怕不会冒险去袭击迷宫BOSS。

According to the setting, the difficulty of the first layer of BOSS raiding is level three to five, and everyone in the original 44-member raiding group is level 10 or above.按照设定，第一层BOSS副本难度为三至五级，原44人副本团队所有人都是10级以上。

So Wang Shui wasn't in a hurry, before he was in a hurry because he was afraid that he would fall too far behind Kirin and the others in terms of level and wouldn't be able to keep up with the large group. Now Wang Shui instead wants to slow down and strengthen his character in detail, after all, Wang Shui doesn't want to die in the game in vain.所以王水并不着急，之前他着急是因为他怕自己在等级上落后麒麟等人太远，跟不上大伙儿的步伐。现在王水反而想放慢脚步，在细节上强化自己的性格，毕竟王水不想白白死在游戏里。

Attribute workouts to keep up, skill levels to practice up, defenses to pull full, money to save up, and weapon enhancement levels to keep up, a typical MMORPG flavor.锻炼要跟上，技能水平要练习，防御要拉满，金钱要储蓄，武器增强级别要跟上，这是典型的 MMORPG 风格。

But players who love this kind of game just love the feeling of getting stronger with a little bit of effort.但喜欢这种游戏的玩家就是喜欢那种通过一点努力就能变强的感觉。

Wang Shui's next job is very clear: to brush the strengthening materials as the focus of the exercise skills, and by the way, save up money to upgrade (what all lack).王水接下来的工作很明确：以刷强化材料作为锻炼技能的重点，顺便存点钱升级（什么都缺）。

The strengthening materials for the first four levels of the [Sword of Toughness and Refinement] can be found on the first level, which are [Wolf's Teeth], [Red Spotted Beetle Shells], [Refined Steel Ingots], and [Dogman Longsword Fragments].【坚炼之剑】前四层的强化材料可以在第一层找到，分别是【狼牙】、【红斑甲虫壳】、【精炼钢锭】、【狗人长剑碎片】 ]。

Materials like Wolf Teeth were the ones dropped by the wolves in the grasslands outside the Town of Beginnings, but unfortunately Wang Shui had sold out long ago.狼牙之类的材料，都是始祖镇外草原上狼群掉落的，可惜王水早就卖完了。

However, there was no rush for this, in the next two days there should be new players who had summoned up the courage to go out of the town to brush up on the monsters, so when the time came, I would find Argo to ask, or I would find a player merchant to help keep an eye out for it. This thing will be a very consumable material in the future, if you can't, you can also find NPCs to buy it, it shouldn't be very expensive.不过也不急，这两天应该会有新玩家鼓起勇气出城刷怪，到时候我就去找阿尔戈问问，或者找个玩家商人帮忙留意一下。这东西以后会是一个非常消耗的材料，如果买不到的话，也可以找npc去买，应该不会很贵。

Armor needs to go to the depths of the forest to brush the Red Spotted Beetle, which is a monster of the same level as the Maneater Grass, with a low desire to attack and a high defense, so it's not that difficult to brush.铠甲需要去森林深处刷红斑甲虫，它是和食人草同级的怪物，攻击欲望低，防御高，所以刷起来并没有那么难。

To refine steel ingots, you need to go through the dense forest, go to the mountain mines near the labyrinth to dig iron ore yourself, and then take it back to the town for refining, which will be very inefficient if you don't have the [Mining] skill.

Steel ingots are sold in the town and village of Beginnings for 3,000 Koel a piece, and a minimum of two are needed to strengthen them once.

Dogman long sword pieces in the first level of the labyrinth and the labyrinth periphery of the dogman can be hit out, but only take one-handed straight sword (for the dogman is a long sword) dogman vanguard will drop, the other dogman will drop other weapons on the enhancement of the fragments, if there is a group of people in the brush, each other to exchange supplies is not too difficult.

That's right, that's what R!P!G! Brush games are all about! Maoba, you've done a great job!

Before the expedition to strengthen the road, Wang Shui was going to temporarily stay here for two days to brush up on his good friends, the little ogres, and get some money to level up to level 5 to unlock the next skill bar.

This time he would have to carefully consider the choice of skills, he had to equip skills that would help him in battle!
