Li Qianxia and her companions were in the inevitable path of this chase.

The goblins seemed weak, even armed with weapons and possessing basic intelligence, their combat power at best was only equivalent to a rabid mid-sized dog.

There were two reasons why they could chase down adventurers: one was the sheer number of goblins, around twenty or so; the other was that these six adventurers were even weaker.

If goblins were rabid mid-sized dogs, then these adventurers were akin to six high school students with weapons, their mentality not much different from that of high school students, not even having overcome their basic views on life and death.

Back at the house on Yanhe Road, Li Changzhou had Zheng Qing stab him with a dagger as one of the methods to break through the understanding of life and death.

Earth players, as long as they could survive the first stage, unless they had some special talent like Little Radish, the rest had basically broken through their view of life and death.

Those who had overcome their view of life and death could, at the very least, fight with courage, clarity of mind, and coordinated movements in battle.

"They don't seem strong, should we step in to save them?" Zhou Ying asked.

Li Qianxia took another look at the six adventurers; their hair was various shades of bright colors, their pupils included black and their features were both Eastern and Western, not much different from themselves.

Their attire didn't stand out either.

Li Qianxia's "Horned Robe" directly transformed into blood-colored armor, and the rest were also in combat gear, only Beia's mecha stood out.

"Beia, put away your mecha."

By the time Beia had stored the mecha into her storage bag, Li Qianxia suppressed her Divine Will—without reverting it to "Ability," since the sight of goblins was filthy, and becoming an Immortal would risk living a stench-filled existence.

Besides, the mana of a Human Immortal Level inherently connected with heaven and earth in subtle ways; ordinary people might be deceived, but if there were Human Immortal Level masters in this world, the fluctuations of mana would absolutely be detected by these individuals.

As Divine Will dissipated, the five appeared in front of the adventurers and goblins.

"###!" The adventurers, one after another, showed expressions of ecstatic relief from desperation while quickening their pace, shouting something.

The six adventurers rushed past Li Qianxia and her group without looking back, fleeing into the distance.

Zhou Ying tapped the ground with her heel, and ripples spreading out horizontally suddenly diffused over the six adventurers.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

All six adventurers toppled behind them, their bodies twitching as if electrified.

A goblin already pounced toward Central King.

Central King sidestepped, and with her armored right hand, she easily grasped its throat and gently squeezed.

Crack.

Amidst the crisp sound, Beia shuddered a bit, but Central King's face remained expressionless. Without even a glance, she released the lifeless body and turned her gaze to the battlefield.

She walked toward the goblin horde, her steps casual yet resolute and determined.

Her right fist shot out like lightning, smashing a goblin's chest with a thud, and then she swung down another chop with her hand.

Crack.

The neck of another goblin bent at an impossible angle, lifeless before even hitting the ground.

After Central King walked through the group of goblins, they were all dead upon her return.

Her left hand had been resting on the hilt of her sword the entire time, never moving an inch.

Zhou Ying stepped next to a female adventurer, putting her hand on the woman's head. When she lifted her hand, there were five pieces of candy in her palm.

"Pick up language candy," she explained. "After eating it, you can understand one of the languages of this world."

"Foreign language students are going to be out of jobs," Li Qianxia said as she consumed the candy.

"Anyway, the translators in the department are already considering a career change," Zhou Ying said with some schadenfreude.

After eating the candy, they woke up the six adventurers, and under Zheng Qing's skillful interrogation techniques, the five gathered a bit of intelligence.

In an era where anyone could become a player, many got heated up and registered, including these six.

The information obtained from them was no richer or more accurate than the intelligence gathered by the Special Warfare Bureau from Japan, with two exceptions.

One was about the town underfoot, where a formidable demon beast had taken on a quest from the Divine Adventure Guild (Value Game) and had destroyed the town.

Now it had become a den for goblins, only novice adventurers would come here for quests.

Second, they learned where the nearest town was.

While Zheng Qing was interrogating, Beia stared at Central King, who had taken all the money from the goblins and adventurers.

This was a novel experience for Beia.

"I've read many adventure stories, and I've always wanted to experience this kind of mercenary life," she said.

"You might consider registering as a player," Central King suggested while weighing the purse in her hand, which contained all the money from the adventurers and goblins, a total of ninety-eight copper coins.

It was unclear what the cost of living here was.

"Absolutely not," Li Qianxia, who was studying the adventurer's card, spoke up, "Beia, you could become a Divine Will Warrior or you could cultivate Taoist methods; whatever you do, just don't become a player. If you want to stay young and live long, you could also become a vampire. I haven't told you, right? My brother can turn into a vampire."

Zheng Qing stood up, somewhat sentimentally, "In the West, vampires are everywhere now. Some use the 'First Embrace' to pick up girls, others to gain wealth."

"My brother doesn't," Li Qianxia assured.

She then said to Beia, "Don't become a player out of curiosity, okay? Registering as a player here doesn't even compare to instinct. If you want to become stronger, when we go back, I'll get my brother to pick a good Taoist method for you to learn."

"I know, I know," Beia laughed.

She knew what she should and shouldn't do.

Cloaked in Divine Will, the five hastened their journey using instant teleportation, not forgetting to release the restrictions on the six adventurers before leaving.

Soon, vehicles resembling carriages (though not pulled by horses) appeared on the road, and the number of adventurers increased significantly, almost outnumbering the civilians.
