Chapter 1: Reborn Five Years Ago

  The two men each bought three steamed buns and handed them over to the beggar, but at this moment, the beggar didn't show any signs of being on the verge of death. Instead, he was full of energy and swallowed the steamed buns from their hands in one gulp.

  "Delicious, delicious!" At this moment, the beggar was wolfing down his food, not even noticing whether Duan Chen and Xue Lian were by his side or not, nor did he intend to pay attention to them. Instead, he continued eating on his own.

  "If only there was a bit more wine! I wonder if you two could bring me two bottles of wine?" The beggar asked, looking at the two with an unfulfilled expression after finishing his bun.

  "Good!" Duan Chen did not refuse, nodded, and then took Blood Splashing Thousand Miles away.

  "Kuang Chen brothers, you'd better think carefully about this. This guy looks like a swindler no matter how you look at him. Two bottles of wine, even the cheapest ones, would cost 15 copper coins per bottle. Between the two of us, we only have a total of 35 copper coins at most. That's just enough to buy two bottles. If he wants to buy anything else, there won't be any money left!" Xue Man Qian couldn't help but say worriedly.

  "Don't worry! I'm telling you, it's definitely right!" Upon hearing this, Duan Chen couldn't help but reveal a smile and said out loud: "I guarantee that when the time comes, you'll thank me!"

  "Suit yourself, anyway the copper coins were all made by you!" Xue Man said nonchalantly. He had risen from a lowly first-level warrior to a seventh-level warrior, and he also had two pieces of white equipment on him, both of which were thanks to Duan Yun's help. Even if Duan Yun was wrong this time, he didn't have the slightest complaint.

  When he heard the words "blood splattered thousands of miles", Duan Chen couldn't help but laugh, as for that beggar, in his past life, there were people who had approached him before. Of course, newcomers generally didn't have that much money, so many people weren't willing to spend money on this and that for the beggar, which is why it took a year to discover this task. Duan Chen, however, understood that he would go all out to do everything in this task.

  Two men bought two bottles of the cheapest wheat wine in a tavern and brought them to the beggar. At this moment, the beggar was still holding a steamed bun, seeing Duan Chen bring the wheat wine, couldn't help but reveal a smile, hurriedly snatched the wheat wine from the two men and drank it in big gulps.

  "Not bad, not bad!" The beggar took two sips and nodded his head in satisfaction, smiling as he said: "It would be even better if there was a bit of meat!"

  "Don't be too excessive!" Upon hearing this, the Blood Splashing Thousand Miles couldn't help but turn pale, and if not for Duan Chen stopping him, he almost wanted to rush up and wildly slap this beggar.

  "What kind of meat do you need? We'll bring it for you!" Duan Chen pressed down the blood that was splashing everywhere, looking at the beggar in front of him and asking aloud.

  "The meat in the village is not fresh, go outside the village and bring me 30 pieces of beef and 30 pieces of mutton! One share per person!" The beggar laughed out loud, completely disregarding the blood-soaked chaos.

  "Alright! No problem!" Upon hearing this, Duan Chen nodded and walked away with a trail of blood.

  "What should we do now?" Looking at Duan Chen, Blood Splattered Thousand Miles couldn't help but ask out loud: "Where did the beef and mutton come from?!"

  "Follow me!" Duan Chen revealed a hint of a smile and said with a loud laugh, "I know where there's beef and mutton!"

  With blood splattered all over, after a long time, finally, Duan Chen appeared on a flat grassland with blood splattered all over. At this moment, the grassland really had cattle and sheep as Duan Chen said.

  "Rampage Goat: Level 9"

  "Frenzy Bison: Level 10"

  Looking at the ferocious mountain goat and the crazed wild ox that appeared before him, a hint of shock flashed in his blood-soaked eyes. He looked at Duan Chen and let out a bitter laugh, saying: "Brother, we aren't going to take on these guys, are we?"

  "Of course!" Duan Chen nodded affirmatively, smiling: "Don't be intimidated by their levels. In fact, these two monsters are passive attack monsters. As long as we don't provoke them, they usually won't come after us!"

  "How did you know?" Suddenly, the blood-soaked Thousand Miles stared at Duan Chen in shock. This game had just started not long ago, how did Duan Chen know that there would be cow and sheep monsters here? This wasn't even mentioned in the game's introduction!

  "On the official website, it's written, but just a brief mention, so many people didn't notice!" Duan Chen's words weren't empty talk, as the Conquest official website indeed has records of this. Apart from the usual abundance of monsters in the newbie village, some monsters will also appear in places far away from the newbie village.

  "Ah, I see!" Blood Splattered Thousand Miles nodded involuntarily, finding Duan Chen's words somewhat convincing. After all, the way Duan Chen was acting now wasn't like a player who had just entered the game, but rather like one who had played for quite some time. There was no other explanation besides having read through the official website's materials, since today was only the first day of the game's opening. As for revealing the game's content, Blood Splattered Thousand Miles didn't believe it at all, because the Conquest Game was globally synchronized, and the servers in the Huaxia region were automatically run by the game's mainframe. Except for the designers who created the game, no one else knew the game's content, not even the publishers of the Conquest Game.

  "You take care of the raging mountain goat, I'll handle the frenzied wild buffalo. This way it will be faster. Ah yes, the goat's weakness is its belly, find an opportunity to give it two slashes!" Duan Chen said with a loud laugh towards Xue Jian.

  "Hand it over!" Upon hearing this, Xue Lian's eyes gleamed with excitement as he nodded his head. At the moment, he was at level 7 and taking on a single violent mountain goat shouldn't be too much of an issue.

  Watching the blood-soaked Thousand Miles rushing towards the Frenzied Mountain Goat, Duan Chen also looked at a wandering Frenzied Wild Ox on one side. As for the Frenzied Wild Ox, Duan Chen didn't have much fear. An eighth-level player dealing with a tenth-level monster should generally not be a big deal.

  He walked right up and swung his axe at the crazed wild buffalo that was still eating grass, the sharp blade almost slicing through the buffalo's throat, dealing 50 points of damage.

  "Rooooo!" The wild ox let out a pained bellow, and at this moment, Duan Chen also saw the crazed wild ox's blood volume, which was over 200 points, not difficult to deal with.

  "Roar!" The eyes of the frenzied wild bull instantly turned a bloody red, and with a loud bellow, it charged straight at Duan Chen. Its sharp horns were pointed directly at him, thrusting forward with great force.

  Duan Chen directly dodged to the side, avoiding the frenzied wild bull's attack. Then, with a backhand swing of his axe, he chopped down at the frenzied wild bull's forehead, instantly dealing over 80 points of critical strike damage.

  "Ahh!" The crazed wild bull, nearly felled by Duan Chen's axe, let out a deafening bellow and charged at him with its two front hooves.

  "Looking for death!" Seeing this scene, Duan Chen's eyes flashed a hint of coldness, his axe held level, and he swept it fiercely at the two hooves.

  "Boom!" The left hoof of the frenzied wild bull was instantly chopped off by Duan Chen's axe, causing a burst of damage, and the entire frenzied wild bull was also swept away.

  At this moment, the frenzied bison in Duan Chen's hands didn't even make a round trip before being beaten by Duan Chen to nearly four-fifths of its blood volume. Moreover, after being attacked by Duan Chen's axe, the frenzied bison was now limping and even had difficulty moving.

  "Kill first and talk later!" Duan Chen's eyes flashed with a hint of coldness, and he charged out directly, his axe aimed at the crazed wild bull's forehead for another slash.

  "Boom!" A loud crash suddenly sounded, at this moment, the frenzied wild bull let out a miserable cry and fell to the ground instantly.

  Picked up the two pieces of beef on the ground, Duan Chen couldn't help but reveal a smile. It seemed that it wasn't as tiring as he had imagined to explode two pieces of beef with one wild cow! However, what made Duan Chen helpless was that this wild cow didn't seem to be willing to pay up!
