" Ding! Successfully killed a Level 0 Zombie Dog, gained 1 experience point! Obtained 1 Zombie Dog Tooth! "
...
" Ding! Successfully killed a Level 1 Zombie Dog, gained 2 experience points. Character upgraded to Level 3, gained 1 free attribute point. Holding a Double Card, gained an additional 1 free attribute point! "
A faint light emanated from his body, and the mana that had fallen to its lowest point instantly filled up. Zhao Nan was delighted and put the mana recovery potion he had been holding back into his backpack.
He had been working hard for two hours, and although he hadn't completed the task items, his character had leveled up. After checking the task attributes briefly, Zhao Nan continued to solo grind without hesitation.
" Ding! Fireball proficiency reached maximum, successfully upgraded to Level 1, damage increased by 5%! "
The speed of grinding monsters immediately increased. By the time it was about to dawn, Zhao Nan finally collapsed in a nearby small safe area, having finally completed the Zombie Dog task.
After a brief rest, Zhao Nan headed towards another area. Using his familiarity with Dongyuan City, he quickly took a shortcut and reached the area of Walking Zombies as the temperature began to rise.
Walking Zombies are monsters of the Zombie type, and their levels are all Level 2 or higher. At the beginning of the game, this place is considered relatively dangerous for players. Walking Zombies have the ability to move flexibly and can also spray a kind of zombie poison from their mouths, making them very difficult to deal with.
After grinding Zombie Dogs all night, Zhao Nan's character was still at Level 3, and he needed half the experience to level up again. However, for a Mage, solo grinding Walking Zombies is not an easy task.
Zhao Nan had been well-prepared. As soon as he entered the area of Walking Zombies, he immediately lay flat on the ground. Unlike regular zombies, Walking Zombies do not identify enemies by smell but by sight. As long as something appears within their horizontal line of sight, if it is not a fellow zombie, they will attack.
In "Global Monsters OL," there are no passive or active monsters; as long as you are not in a safe area, monsters will attack as soon as they see an enemy.
Zhao Nan carefully crawled under a Walking Zombie, the stench of decay almost making him want to vomit. However, this method was very effective.
Fireball! Fireball! Fireball!
-40! -39! -41!
After three consecutive Fireballs, the Walking Zombie exploded into a pile of meat. At the same time, an orange coin appeared in front of Zhao Nan.
1 copper coin...
The most hated aspect of "Global Monsters OL" is that the money dropped by monsters is extremely rare. Not just money, but treasures, equipment, and even common health and mana potions are also very difficult to drop! It is almost impossible to achieve self-sufficiency while solo grinding monsters.
Zhao Nan put the copper coin into his backpack with a bitter smile, "A human life is worth this much, indeed, human life is the least valuable thing."
Shaking his head, he wondered how many of the Walking Zombies in this area were once humans and how many were system-created NPCs.
In the game world three years later, a group of players who had been working on strategies finally discovered some truths about the game. That is, humans who become monsters can regain their sanity under certain conditions, but they will lose all their memories and become the rulers of powerful monsters in various regions.
It is said that to become an elite monster, one must be a human who has transformed into a monster. Regular system-spawned monsters are only of ordinary level. However, if a human monster is killed, they will truly die and will not respawn.
For both human monsters and human players, their existence is to serve as stepping stones for each other to gain strength.
A very cruel thing... What was that mad scientist thinking?
But no matter what, since the game has become globally tangible, the only way is to firmly walk one's own path... to survive.
After killing a Walking Zombie, Zhao Nan continued to crawl slowly on the grass using the same method. The sun was already rising, and it was probably between 9 and 10 in the morning. The moisture in the grass began to evaporate, making Zhao Nan feel uncomfortable.
At that moment, a hideous face suddenly appeared in front of Zhao Nan. He drew a sharp breath... This Walking Zombie was actually squatting on the ground, staring at him with wide eyes, its gaze seemingly filled with a hint of confusion.
Above its head was a prominent blue line of text.
Elite Walking Zombie Level 5!
An elite monster of Level 5 had actually spawned in this Walking Zombie area! Without time to think, the Elite Walking Zombie had already reached out to strike his head.
If he were hit, with the weak defense of a Mage, he would be instantly killed! Zhao Nan's pores stood on end, and he quickly swung his staff at the Elite Walking Zombie.
This was an instinct from his days as a Swordsman. Of course, a staff that was little more than a branch could not possibly injure this elite monster.
-1!
What a bizarre damage value... and it was due to the system's forced damage value for any attack.
Taking advantage of this moment, a Fireball immediately shot from the tip of the staff, exploding on the Walking Zombie's chest.
-8!
Zhao Nan was greatly alarmed and quickly ran back to a safe area. However, as soon as he stood up, he was immediately exposed to the sight of all the nearby Walking Zombies.
"Damn!"
Fortunately, his initial Vitality and Agility attributes were not too weak. He managed to roll into the safe area, taking a hit from the Elite Walking Zombie's claws, losing half of his health.
Zhao Nan panted heavily, gradually calming down. In the safe area, monsters cannot enter. The Walking Zombies could only roar mindlessly and then gradually disperse.
Roar—!
However, at that moment, the Elite Walking Zombie did not leave but stayed at the edge of the safe area, as if guarding Zhao Nan. Its claws tried to reach forward but seemed to be afraid of something, repeatedly extending and retracting, looking quite ridiculous.
Zhao Nan frowned, took a health potion to heal the wound on his back, and carefully observed the elite monster.
Elite monsters rarely appear in the early stages of the game, especially in low-level areas where the probability of spawning elite monsters is extremely low.
However, once an elite monster appears, it means there is a chance to obtain some better items.
Should he grind this Elite Walking Zombie?
