Chapter 6

In "Global Monster OL," between levels 0 to 10, you can gain one free attribute point per level. Between levels 11 to 20, you can gain two free attribute points per level. For every ten levels, the number of free attribute points increases by one. Before level 50, players can accumulate a total of 150 free attribute points.

According to the instructions on the double points card, if Zhao Nan can level up to 50, the number of attribute points he will have will reach a terrifying 300 points. This means that at level 50, he will have the attributes of a player who is around level 70!

If this information were to be exposed, it would be a big deal...

Zhao Nan deeply understands the importance of a treasure in the days to come. After players adapt to the game, many will undergo significant changes in personality. Laws and morals in the real game world have been completely abandoned.

Zhao Nan clenched his fists tightly, then exhaled and quietly closed the backpack panel. It's best to keep this hidden and not mention it to anyone.

However, the excitement in his heart could not be easily calmed. In his previous life, due to his innate deficiencies, his early development was slightly slow, and one step behind led to many more. As a result, his strength could only barely reach around the 2,000th place in the world. But with the double points card, and double free attribute points before level 50...

Just wait, I can also reach the pinnacle of the player pyramid...

...

Time passed quickly amidst anxiety and unease. At this moment, the system's voice echoed throughout the world once again.

"The game will be updated in three minutes! Please check your emails for details!"

Ding ding ding ding ding—!

In the next second, the same notification sound rang out across the world. Players opened the email panel on their bracelets in a daze.

"Congratulations on successfully surviving the first wave of elimination. Whether you are male, female, old, or young, if you can see this email, it proves that you have the strength or luck to continue the game! 'Global Monster OL' will, after the first update, divide the world into safe zones and monster zones! The game has countless possibilities, so explore to your heart's content! Enjoy the game!"

The three minutes were not enough to fully digest the information in the email. But as soon as the time was up, all players instantly lost consciousness.

Zhao Nan sighed and, as soon as the three minutes were up, instantly curled up his body, hands covering his head. His consciousness also went blank.

When Zhao Nan's consciousness returned, he felt a pain in his body and then heard numerous cries of agony.

"Ouch! You're stepping on me!"

"Ouch—!"

"Damn it, where are you touching me!!"

"Pervert!!"

"Mom—!"

...

Zhao Nan shook his head and cursed the system's cruel sense of humor. This update had concentrated everyone in the same place, which was the so-called birth point in the game.

The city where Zhao Nan was located had a permanent population of over five million. Even if only one-tenth of them successfully logged in as players, that would still be 500,000 people. It's easy to imagine how crowded it would be with so many people appearing in a place the size of a football field.

It was a sea of people. Zhao Nan finally managed to squeeze to the edge of the crowd and began to observe the surroundings.

This place vaguely resembled a football field. However, the green grass had turned into a red floor, and in the center was a large floating crystal— the Soul Crystal.

The Soul Crystal is the most important thing in a city. Once the brightness of the Soul Crystal decreases to a certain level, the city's defenses will disappear, and monsters will attack the city.

Around the Soul Crystal, there were four smaller crystals— Teleport Crystals. As levels increase, players can use the Teleport Crystals to instantly travel between cities or to specific locations. Of course, this instant teleportation is very expensive.

At this moment, the entire football field was covered by intertwined old tree roots. Zhao Nan quickly climbed to the top of the football field and looked out.

The entire city was almost entirely covered in green. Trees had grown on the streets and buildings, as if plants and structures had organically merged.

At the same time, many figures appeared throughout the city. Some were completely human, some had pointed ears and beautiful appearances— elves, some were short like dwarves with large beards— dwarves, and some had animal heads and human bodies— beastmen...

Zhao Nan knew that these suddenly appearing creatures were actually NPCs that appeared after the first update. These NPCs themselves did not know that their existence was just a system fabrication. They had their own worldviews, real flesh and blood, and emotions like normal humans, and could even reproduce.

As players, in the eyes of these NPCs, they were known as "Divine Chosen."

Looking at the birth point where players were still crowded together, Zhao Nan quickly left the football field. After this update, human players adapted to the game at an unimaginable speed. In about three days, almost all had entered the true player state of "Global Monster OL."

...

As an experienced player, Zhao Nan knew the importance of being first. In "Global Monster OL," there are countless rewards, and if you can be the first to achieve something, you will receive special rewards. Of course, the game covers the entire world, and tasks are generated almost infinitely. So, it's unrealistic to achieve all the firsts.

But some firsts must be achieved.

For example, being the first in the world to accept a task.

In front of the nearest general store, Zhao Nan was talking to a female orc.

"Do you accept Lady Kelly's request to collect zombie dog teeth?"

"Accept!"

"Congratulations! Player Zhao Nan is the tenth to accept the task, rewarded with 50% more money from the task!"

Zhao Nan's face instantly darkened. He had consciously tried to be the first to accept the task, but he could only manage to be the tenth?

Shaking his head, Zhao Nan then let it go. The number of players in this game is far beyond the average person's imagination. With the game running globally at the same time, someone will always be lucky enough to be the first. Some people have incredible luck.

But now is not the time to lament these things. Zhao Nan quickly left the general store and turned to walk to another part of the street.

Since he had lost the chance to be the first to accept a task, he might as well complete a special chain task for now.

Anyone who has played games knows that to leave the city and grind monsters, it's best to take on all the tasks and monsters in a specific area to level up and save time.
