The First Warrior of Blue Star

Battlefield No. 1357 in the United States.

A group of people was already standing outside the novice village, rubbing their hands together, ready to raid it.

The young man standing at the very front, currently hacking at monsters, was named Vaughan. He had entered the game around the same time as Liu Xuan and had extreme luck, obtaining the hidden class, Tyrant.

It came with an innate talent skill, [Fury]. As long as his attacks were not interrupted, his attack speed would continuously increase every five seconds, up to a maximum of 10 times!

Looks familiar, doesn't it?

That's right, it was almost identical to the innate skill of the [Bouncing Rabbit].

So Vaughan, who was originally thrilled to have obtained a hidden class, instantly had his face turn dark when he saw the [Bouncing Rabbit] in the novice village.

Damn it, I thought my class was invincible, but it ends up clashing skills with a novice village mob?

Furthermore, this mob's skill has no upper limit, while I have a 10-times restriction.

Did I really get a hidden class?

Fortunately, the same skill had different effects when placed on a human compared to a monster.

Humans are smarter than monsters.

Therefore, Vaughan actively revealed his class to the people in the same battlefield right from the start. By doing this, he gathered a group of people to continuously lure monsters for him, keeping him in a constant state of combat.

This way, his attack speed would get higher and higher. Now, under the ten-times attack speed, his hands were almost moving fast enough to leave afterimages, capable of hacking a monster to death in a single second.

Unfortunately, his teammates' speed of luring monsters couldn't be increased, and Vaughan also lacked AoE capabilities, so no matter what, his clearing speed couldn't compare to Liu Xuan's.

Fortunately, the [Bouncing Rabbits] in this novice village were densely packed. They didn't even need to be lured from afar; others just needed to pull them toward him.

"This is simply my home ground!"

When Vaughan first saw the situation in the novice village, he couldn't help but laugh out loud, saying something similar to Liu Xuan, feeling that the monsters in this novice village were tailor-made for him.

He thought he would be the first person in the world to conquer a novice village, and by killing this entire village of rabbits, he could at least reach level 5 or 6.

Who could have imagined that just as he was preparing to make his move, he saw the system announcement.

Someone in Huaxia had already conquered a novice village!

"Impossible!" Vaughan was both shocked and furious, his eyes turning red. "How could anyone be faster than me?"

Could the other party also have a hidden class?

But so do I!

Is there a gap even between hidden classes?

As a result of spacing out, he forgot to attack with his hands, and the attack speed buff he had been stacking for a long time directly broke off.

Fuck!

It would take a long time to stack it back up again, and the progress of raiding the novice village would slow down once more.

It wasn't just Vaughan; the experts in various battlefields all over the world found it hard to believe.

Especially those "chosen ones" who had obtained hidden classes. They originally felt superior to others, but now, compared to the speed of that person in Huaxia, they were simply incredibly weak.

That was a thousand densely packed rabbits squeezed together.

It wasn't that no one had obtained a hidden class with strong AoE, but at this current stage, what AoE could cover the entire novice village?

Even if there was, their mana pool wouldn't be able to handle it!

To put it bluntly, it was a problem with class models.

Suppose you are a designer, and you design an AoE class that is very strong in the early game, with a very wide skill range.

Then you would inevitably place restrictions on the mana consumption and damage of this skill.

Even a hidden class originally positioned as powerful would be the same.

A normal class might cost 50 mana, have a range of 30 meters, and deal 20 damage. A hidden class might cost 300 mana, have a range of 100 meters, and deal 20 damage. Although the latter's mana consumption is much higher, its evaluation is absolutely dozens of times stronger than the former.

Therefore, the experts all over the world were now guessing just how strong that person in Huaxia who conquered the novice village really was.

What made them even more anxious was that now the entirety of Huaxia had an experience bonus, especially that No. 2468 novice village, which had a full four times multiplier. Would anyone be able to catch up to Huaxia in the future?

The only thing worth rejoicing over was that this bonus was limited to before level 3.

The experience required for these few levels wasn't considered particularly high to begin with.

"We must speed up! For the next battlefield objective, we absolutely have to beat Huaxia to it!"

A group of experts were highly ambitious, vowing to pull this mysterious Huaxia expert off their high horse.

Meanwhile, in Huaxia's Battlefield No. 2468, the crowd was somewhat bewildered and uncertain after seeing the announcement.

"Battlefield No. 2468, that couldn't be us, could it?"

"What are you talking about? Haven't we not conquered the novice village yet?"

"The screen in the farm earlier said that we are Battlefield 2468! That's right."

"Did you guys forget about that kid who was constantly kiting the monsters earlier? We saw with our own eyes that he was running around far ahead, and then he disappeared. Is it possible he went to the novice village?"

"Bullshit, how could he raid the novice village all by himself?"

"Look at that settlement screen, that route, who else could it be but him?"

"How should I know..."

"No matter who it is, they brought us an experience bonus, I'm willing to acknowledge him as my godfather."

"Godfather? That's my biological dad! With a novice village, we can finally rest and eat."

"Stop talking, there are only level 2 [Killer Snakes] behind us, and there are no more monsters in the novice village. Let's quickly level up to 2, and we should be able to form a party and head over."

Zhang Meng was currently leveling up with his teammates. As a former retired soldier and professional gamer, his initial stats were very high. Coupled with his outstanding mechanics, taking care of monsters was much easier for him than for others.

When he realized that the Battlefield No. 2468 mentioned in the announcement was their location, that familiar figure once again surfaced in his mind.

"There's no mistake, it's definitely that guy!"

"Liu Xuan!"

Previously, he had felt that the back of the young man kiting the monsters looked very familiar, but at the time, he thought it was impossible for Liu Xuan to look so "wretched."

In his impression, the other party had always used exquisite skills to handle and "toy with" enemies with ease.

Including himself, a former top-ten professional gamer, all the so-called gaming experts would only feel a deep sense of powerlessness in front of Liu Xuan.

In fact, Zhang Meng's agility after entering the battlefield was 10 points, which was only 1 point less than Liu Xuan's.

But it was precisely this 1 point that opened up an insurmountable chasm between the two of them.

In the past, when clashing with Liu Xuan in other virtual games, Zhang Meng always felt that his reaction speed was forever a beat slower than his opponent's.

The other party's mechanics could always exceed his imagination, completely unlike something a human could execute.

Now, seeing that the novice village had been conquered, he was absolutely certain that the person must be Liu Xuan!

Other than Liu Xuan, no one could do something so "unexpected."

It's just that...

Thinking of the sight of Liu Xuan's back as he was chased by a pack of dogs, Zhang Meng couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth:

The other party's actions this time were truly way too "unexpected."

As for the person in question, Liu Xuan, apart from the system announcement, he also saw a few exclusive prompts on his end.
