Chapter 10

Those three soon disappeared from the area, and due to dealing with the approaching walking zombies, Zhao Nan had already lost sight of them.

Although he harbored resentment in his heart, he could only swallow it in frustration.

Zhao Nan retreated to a safe spot and looked at the gradually cooling body of the taekwondo instructor, his gaze devoid of any emotion.

Such things had become commonplace... but, what a damn game!

Sometimes, Zhao Nan even had a naive thought: to find the system hidden in the game, beat it up, and make it restore the world to its original state.

However, such a thing could only be considered a delusion... in his previous life, no one had ever discovered where the system was in three years.

"Still, the best course of action is to complete the mission quickly."

After composing himself, Zhao Nan continued his mission to kill the walking zombies. Thanks to the Medusa Ring, the speed at which he killed the walking zombies increased significantly. He also did not encounter any elite monsters.

Usually, after an elite monster in a region dies, it takes at least 48 hours to respawn. However, Zhao Nan knew that when the elite monster respawned, it would no longer be human but the data of the human who had become a monster. Such elite monsters had already lost the possibility of further evolution.

By noon, the mission to kill the walking zombies was over. Since he had already reached level 5, the walking zombies now only provided him with 1 experience point each.

To level up from level 5 to level 6, he needed 600 experience points. After completing the walking zombie mission, Zhao Nan's experience at level 5 had only increased by a few dozen points.

Next were the Rabid Rabbits. These monsters were even lower in level than the walking zombies. With Zhao Nan's current Fireball spell, he could almost take them down with one hit.

In "Global Monsters Online," once a monster is more than three levels below the player, the experience gained from killing it decreases as the level difference increases. Now, Zhao Nan gained almost no experience from killing level 0-1 monsters and only 1 point from killing level 2 monsters.

However, during the process of killing the Rabid Rabbits, the proficiency of his Fireball spell increased by one level, reaching level 3.

In the game, the maximum level for a skill is 10. After reaching the maximum level, special items are required to evolve the skill. Skill evolution scrolls only appear when the average world level reaches 15, so there was no rush for now.

Next was the task to gather Moonflowers, which was a crucial part of completing the hidden class mission. Zhao Nan looked at the darkening sky and reluctantly hid in a safe area near the Rabid Rabbit zone.

To gather Moonflowers, one had to pass through the area of the level 5 Rabid Bulls. With the increased attack power of monsters at night, it was extremely difficult to pass through safely.

Zhao Nan lay tightly on the ground, his gaze fixed on the Rabid Rabbits illuminated by the glow orbs. They were almost twice the size of ordinary rabbits, with two large incisors and ears as long as an adult's arm, used for attacking. Some Rabid Rabbits quietly grazed on the grass, while others lay on the ground sleeping. The bodies of the Rabid Rabbits killed by Zhao Nan had already respawned, and the area was once again filled with monsters.

Bored, Zhao Nan looked at his character information. From level 0 to level 5, his free attribute points, under the effect of the double card, had indeed reached 10 points. However, Zhao Nan had not yet decided how to use these points.

In his previous life, he had lived to level 49 as a swordsman. Now, choosing to become a mage, he was not very familiar with how to level up as a mage. Therefore, he needed to carefully consider how to allocate his points.

"Still, I'll see if I can become that class. If not, I'll consider other allocation schemes," Zhao Nan thought to himself.

Anyway, he had two rings that boosted his attack by 7 points and his base attributes by 4 points. With his current situation, dealing with level 5-6 monsters was not difficult. As long as he was careful, he was confident he could take on a level 7 monster one-on-one.

The sky had completely darkened, and in the darkness, the Rabid Rabbits had red eyes. At this moment, a black shadow quickly ran through the Rabid Rabbit zone.

Zhao Nan immediately became alert. After experiencing a robbery, he did not dare to underestimate the madness of players at this stage.

"Help—!"

However, when he saw the person clearly, he heard a plea for help. Under the faint light of the glow orbs, Zhao Nan saw that dozens of red eyes were approaching behind the person.

"A woman? To be wandering alone at this time, she must be quite brave..."

"Help!"

Since the light in the safe area was stronger, the person had clearly seen Zhao Nan and hoped for assistance.

Zhao Nan frowned and stepped out of the safe area. After the game, being cold-blooded was acceptable, but losing one's humanity was not. Otherwise, one would always lose oneself.

After the game, human deaths continued to occur. In the three years of his previous life, the global population had dropped to less than ten million and was still decreasing.

"Get down!"

Zhao Nan shouted loudly, and the figure in front of him quickly crouched down. A Fireball flew over her head and exploded behind her.

"Run!" Zhao Nan shouted again.

Another Fireball followed, exploding in front of the Rabid Rabbits to block their advance.

With Zhao Nan's cover, the person quickly and safely entered the safe area. The light brightened, and Zhao Nan finally saw the person clearly.

"It's you!"

"It's you?"

Both were taken aback. The woman who dared to wander at night was Xu Yang... the scene of her chest being exposed flashed in his mind.

Perhaps due to the intense running, Xu Yang's face was flushed, and her mouth was slightly open as she panted.

They were silent for a moment, and then Xu Yang suddenly said, "Thank you..."

Zhao Nan nodded without saying much and began to recall some information about Xu Yang. Xu Yang, a third-year high school English teacher, a graduate of a prestigious university, 24 years old, approachable, and a very beautiful and charming woman, highly popular at school.

That was about all he could remember.

However, at that moment, Xu Yang suddenly screamed and quickly crouched down in front of Zhao Nan, panicking, "Don't look!"

Why...

Zhao Nan rubbed his forehead in frustration. This woman must have been attacked a lot; most of her clothes had been torn, exposing large areas of skin, almost to the point of being indecent.

"Put this on, if you don't mind the dirt."

Zhao Nan took off his clothes and threw them to Xu Yang. Due to the rush, he had not paid attention to his appearance since logging into the game.

The long-sleeved shirt was covered in various bloodstains, though dried, it looked terrifying. Xu Yang was taken aback and hesitated for a moment.

"Or do you want to stay like this and be seen by others?"

"No!"

Xu Yang quickly put on the clothes and then whispered, "Thank you..."

"It's nothing, just a piece of clothing."

"Last time too..."

At this, Xu Yang's face turned red again. She glanced at Zhao Nan and found that he did not seem to care about her, his gaze fixed on something in front of him, as if he was thinking about something.

"Um... what's your name?"

After a moment, Xu Yang seemed to have calmed down and asked again.

"Zhao Nan."

"Zhao Nan... you're Zhao Nan?"

"You know me?" Zhao Nan was curious. He did not remember having any interaction with this beautiful teacher.

"Your class teacher talks about you all the time in the office. I guess no third-year teacher doesn't know your name... Oh, I didn't mean to say anything bad..."

Zhao Nan shook his head and said with a self-deprecating smile, "I guess I'm quite infamous..."
