Chapter 12: The Team of Five!

Fly: "Is this really reliable?"

Fang Ze: "Although Brother Watermelon may lack in luck, but when it comes to being tough and resilient, few can compare to him."

Fly: "That’s true, after all, Brother Watermelon is someone who can run really fast even while dragging his intestines."

Du Yuan listened to the two people talking and suddenly remembered something, "Ah, are you talking about that person who always says ‘I love Watermelon’ when starting a game and then kills themselves ten times?"

Fang Ze was surprised, "Even you know about it?"

Du Yuan laughed, "I saw it by chance while browsing the forums before. I thought that person must be quite interesting."

Fly twitched his mouth, "That’s for sure."

"Are you talking about me?"

Just then, a familiar voice was heard from afar.

Fang Ze quickly greeted with a smile, "Brother Watermelon, we’ve been waiting for you. Have you considered what I told you last night?"

Brother Watermelon’s in-game character is a muscular man.

He has short, energetic hair and looks like he can take a lot of damage.

"Is it okay if our team only has four people?" Brother Watermelon asked with concern.

Brother Watermelon is very careful with his life.

Ever since ten suicide attempts, he now values his life very much.

He dares not be reckless anymore.

He has even become more cautious in his actions.

In other words, when he saw Fang Ze’s team had only three people, he had a foreboding feeling.

It was the smell of death.

"Even a fully armed team of ten people can’t guarantee to come back unscathed after killing a low-level demon beast. What more with only four of us, this isn’t a joke, right?"

Upon hearing Brother Watermelon’s worries, Fang Ze lowered his head and chuckled, "Firstly, we are not a team of four, but a team of five."

"Two of them are really good in reality, as long as the team works well together, they will definitely perform as well as a team of ten people."

"I already told you about the specific strategy yesterday, with two tanks, two fighters, and one ranged attacker. This is the best setup I came up with."

"Not only is it more mobile than a team of ten, but it also avoids overcrowding and formation chaos."

"Plus, we both know about the reward system for a team of ten."

"Putting aside Soul Essence for now, the profit from a low-level demon beast is 10 copper coins plus 10 reputation."

"In a team of ten, each person only gets one-tenth of the reward, and we all know how slow that is."

"But with a team of five, our average profit from killing monsters will double!"

"Think about it, with the same amount of time, we can buy land before others. While others just bought one piece, we can already start developing a second piece."

"In the future, the land in front of the Tower of Seals will be very valuable, so buying land early now is better than anything else."

"It’s like a gold rush in the game now!"

"As the saying goes, fortune favors the bold. If we don’t take a risk now, we may not have the chance in the future."

"What do you think, Brother Watermelon?"

Brother Watermelon remained silent for a moment, "Well… it’s not impossible, but you must promise me one thing."

Fang Ze laughed, "Go on."

Brother Watermelon said, "Give me another chance to have my barbecue tonight!"

Fly: "Um…"

Fang Ze: "Hmm…"

Fly: "Or should we find someone else?"

Fang Ze: "I think we should consider it."

Brother Watermelon: "Gosh, don’t you trust me at all? I really am a chef. Last time was just an accident!"

Fang Ze glanced at Du Yuan, "Old Du, I’ll treat you to a barbecue tonight."

Du Yuan looked puzzled, "In the game?"

Fang Ze patted Du Yuan’s shoulder, "Brother Watermelon will cook for us himself. He has learned cooking before, so eat more tonight."

This game may not involve going to the bathroom, but it can still make your tummy upset!

Fly had a deep understanding of this matter last night already.

His stomach was hurting all night yesterday!

That kind of stomach ache is just like a stomach ache.

Although games can distract from some pain, a stomach ache just keeps on hurting and doesn’t go away quickly!

Last night, Fly really felt surrounded by summer.

That’s really a case of "treat others the way you want to be treated"!

Not only Fly, but several other players also had some similar experiences.

Therefore, the food made by Brother Watermelon has been placed on their blacklist!

After chatting about some other things, they finally started entering the tower when Zhang Qingyan returned with a homemade wooden bow.

The other experienced players also got busy and started bringing along some promising newcomers to enter the tower together.

Those players with poor combat skills or who prefer farming, all stayed outside the tower to explore and farm.

Some were processing fur, some were making bricks, some were crafting tools, some were chopping trees, some were fishing…

Almost every player had something to do, or they already knew what they wanted to do from the beginning.

Inspired by Fang Ze’s post, they also learned that killing monsters was not the only way to play the game.

Casual players are also very popular!

Everyone was busy with their own tasks, fighting when necessary and surviving as needed.

Until evening came.

Fang Ze and the others returned to the tower with tired bodies, but their faces were filled with excitement and thrill!

Because they had gained so much that day!

In the beginning, they were not familiar with each other, so it took nearly three battles to get into the groove.

Under Fang Ze’s command, everyone acted with precision.

Using stronger bone weapons made it much easier to defeat the low-level demon beasts compared to yesterday!

Throughout the day, they only died once in battle, but it was the player’s fault.

With fewer people, they were more agile and did not attract as many enemies at once like they did yesterday.

They had Zhang Qingyan to thank for their success.

Zhang Qingyan’s self-made powerful bow and arrows made it easy to pierce through the monsters with specially crafted arrowheads.

However, Zhang Qingyan kept having trouble with his bowstring breaking during the battle due to the materials used.

Luckily, he had gathered many materials before entering the tower, which he could use to fix his bowstring.

The repair was not perfect, but at least it was usable.

Zhang Qingyan was accurate and quick with his archery skills, often hitting the weak spots of the demon beasts without much aiming.

Thanks to Zhang Qingyan, killing monsters and pulling monsters became extremely easy for them.

Du Yuan is also very skilled, he can almost fight a low-level demon beast on his own!

This was his first time encountering a demon beast, and he didn’t know about their attack methods and weaknesses yet.

Even Fang Ze had to admire.

Du Yuan’s muscles and skills really helped him maximize his advantages!
