Online Game: Low Drop Rate? I Have a Guaranteed Drop System!-Chapter 14: Leveling Up, Returning to the Newbie Village

Wecheat and AsSky exchanged a glance, their expressions excited. If this information was true, they would definitely fight for that equipment.

"Sunhocker, I've transferred one million to your account. If this proves to be true, I'll give you an additional two million after this is over," Wecheat said, looking at Sunhocker. His tone was calm, and the amount of money he mentioned seemed trivial to him.

"Thank you, Wecheat," Sunhocker said repeatedly, swallowing nervously. With this kind of money, he wouldn't have to worry about food or drink for the rest of his life. Even if Johnnie sought revenge later, he wasn't afraid. He didn't believe Johnnie would dare to do anything to him in real life.

"President AsSky, now we can truly work together, right?" Wecheat looked at AsSky, speaking in a mild tone.

He didn't really want to cooperate with this person, but Johnnie was too strong for him to handle alone. There were many strong players in the newbie village, many of whom were members of AsSky Guild.

"Of course," AsSky agreed, this time without hesitation.

Johnnie had killed him before, leaving him with a deep grudge. Moreover, the artifact that could increase drop rates was tempting him greatly.

Even without the special equipment that boosted drop rates, Johnnie's green-tier gear was something he absolutely had to get.

"Hmph, if you and I had worked together earlier, things wouldn't have turned out this way," Wecheat muttered, still bitter about what had happened. He continued, "Even if we join forces, we can't be careless. We need to come up with a detailed battle plan."

He had been killed by Johnnie twice, and now he was completely afraid.

The group continued discussing their plans, which basically consisted of luring Johnnie out and relying on a sea of people to wear him down!

...

In the real world, Johnnie looked at the delicious spread of food on the table, a little speechless.

He had reminded Crysic again, "Crysic, just prepare something simple. Right now, your priority should be leveling up in the game."

"Yeah, yeah, I know, eating is the most important!" Crysic casually put a chicken leg on his plate, absentmindedly responding.

After what happened this morning, she seemed to have lost some of her previous restraint.

Johnnie didn't press the matter further, instead asking, "Has Joseph been here?"

"Yeah, he came by." Crysic served him a bowl of soup and continued, "I talked to him about this, but he's a bit worried. They've never dealt with games before, and he's afraid they won't do well."

"Tell him not to worry. As long as they stick with me, they won't lose out. Also, order a few more login crystals and have them delivered to him," Johnnie replied. He now had enough funds to begin creating a guild.

"Johnnie, I checked the price of login crystals, and it's dropped to just over 800,000. I think it might drop even further. Should we wait a bit longer?" Crysic asked, a bit frugal. She regretted buying the login crystals earlier at the higher price.

She had spent one million on them, feeling a bit hurt for several days. Now, seeing the price drop, she felt it might go even lower, especially since it seemed that Apocalypse Group was actively promoting the game, and the prices might eventually become affordable for ordinary people.

"There's no need to wait," Johnnie said, unconcerned about the money. Besides, it would be better to create the guild sooner rather than later. "By the way, what level are you now?"

Crysic immediately slumped, looking a bit wronged as she replied, "I just hit level 2. This game is so hard to level up in. And our team's been targeted. This morning, I killed over ten people and got three gray items."

"Targeted by others?" Johnnie furrowed his brows, his expression dark. He coldly said, "Remember their IDs. Once they leave the newbie village, we'll settle the score."

The different newbie villages in the game were not interconnected. Only after leaving the newbie village and entering a city would the regions merge.

Crysic nodded, unconcerned. "I'm strong enough now, they're no match for me. If I push hard today, I'll hit level 3 tomorrow, and then I can finish that task you mentioned, Johnnie."

"That's good progress," Johnnie said, relieved. With such a fast leveling speed, there was no way someone could steal the task from her.

After lunch, the two of them continued their gaming session.

As soon as Johnnie logged back in, he saw Cox and the others working together to take down a goblin elite.

They coordinated well, but it was still tough for them. It took them about five minutes to kill a goblin elite, constantly pulling and kiting it.

"Boss, you're finally online!" Poleriver greeted Johnnie happily, complaining, "These guys are so slow, I'm exhausted."

She now realized how easy and fun it was to level up with Johnnie. She barely had to heal anyone and just followed behind, picking up loot.

"Poleriver, you can't burn bridges like that," Cox and the others grumbled, though they couldn't deny they weren't a match for the goblin elite squads.

Johnnie smiled and said, "Leave it to me, you guys keep pulling."

"No problem," Cox and the others eagerly rushed into the forest to attract more goblin elite squads.

They were all thrilled. At this rate, they'd hit level 3 before tonight, becoming some of the top players in the newbie village.

They continued the repetitive grind of fighting monsters.

Goblin elite squads kept coming, and Johnnie made quick work of them.

Cox and his team cleaned up the battlefield, collecting goblin ears and keeping the cycle going, thoroughly enjoying themselves.

By evening, all four had reached level 3 of tier 1, greatly improving their strength.

"Boss, we've leveled up. Should we go hunt half-orcs?" Cox asked. After level 3, killing goblin elites no longer provided experience.

"Already that fast?" Johnnie stretched his tired muscles, then checked his inventory. He had collected a staggering 1,100 goblin ears, easily exceeding the task requirements.

In just one day, he had obtained eight pieces of green equipment and over seventy white pieces.

His inventory was already full, and some of the lower-quality white gear had been handed over to Cox and his team for processing.

Now, Johnnie had three pieces of green equipment and five white ones, further boosting his power.

"Cipher, this longbow is for you." He took out a white longbow from his inventory. It had two rare attributes: 1 point attack speed and 1 point physical crit.

This was definitely top-tier white gear.

Cipher's eyes lit up, but as he reached out, he hesitated and pulled his hand back, scratching his head awkwardly. "Boss, I can't afford this."

"It's a gift," Johnnie said as he tossed it to him.

He didn't need the bow, and neither did Crysic.

"Uh, is this really okay?" Cipher fumbled, wanting to return it to Johnnie, but seeing the bow's stats, he couldn't help but want it.

"Alright, I understand what kind of people you are. I'm planning to create a guild, and you guys can join me. Also, about the white equipment I gave you to handle earlier—if any of it suits you, you can prioritize using it. I've got other things to do, so I won't be leveling up with you anymore." Johnnie felt good about these players, especially Cox, who was going to switch to the hidden class Guardian Knight with incredible defense. Having him in the guild would add solid power.

"Boss, can we join your guild?" The others were excited, eagerly looking at him.

They had considered creating their own guild, but clearly, following Johnnie would be better than trying to develop on their own.

"Of course," Johnnie nodded. "But I need to remind you all: my guild runs on a military-style management and training system. Don't join if you're not ready to handle the tough grind."

"Boss, don't worry. We're up for it," the group responded even more enthusiastically. They were all young and full of passion, naturally drawn to the discipline and structure of military life.

Even Poleriver gripped her staff, eager to join in.

"Boss, we've collected quite a few goblin ears too, but we didn't have time to turn them in. We'll give them to you," Cox said, as he suddenly thought of something and took out a pile of goblin ears, handing them to Johnnie.

A total of 400 ears!

With his own 1,100 ears, that made 1,500 goblin ears in total.

Johnnie didn't refuse; he was curious about what kind of reward these goblin ears would yield.

200 goblin ears got a stat potion reward, so the reward for 1,500 should definitely be much more substantial.

"You guys keep leveling up. I'll go back to the village to turn in the quest," Johnnie reminded them, before heading back to the newbie village.

Cox and the others had already equipped themselves with white-tier gear. Even with just a four-man team, they were more than capable of handling level 3 half-orcs.

The newbie village was still lively, with vendors shouting, players grouping up, and people buying and selling equipment and other items.

"Hmm, someone's following me?" Johnnie frowned as he noticed a few suspicious figures tailing him as soon as he entered the village.

It didn't take much thinking to realize they were likely from Wecheat's group, looking for revenge.

"Hmph, still not giving up," he thought, disdainful. He didn't pay them much attention and headed straight for the old village chief's residence.

"Old Village Chief, I'm here to turn in my quest!" Johnnie shouted loudly, drawing the attention of several players around him.
