21: Ten days have passed, and the six women are in a predicament.

That night.

Chen Hao was furious in the inn, smashing many daily necessities.

He was directly extorted 500 copper by the inn.

His faction had been continuously supplying him with copper coins these past few days, but most of it was spent on buying supplies and winning people over. If Lin Weijie hadn't still had some saved, he probably would have been dragged to the yamen by the inn owner.

As mentioned before, the countless NPCs in Star Abyss are remnants of failed Trial Takers from previous sessions; they also have their own lives and social hierarchy.

They also manage the order of Trial Takers in the safe zone on behalf of Star Abyss, but the rules of Star Abyss do not allow them to intervene in the Trial Takers' society.

Of course, if a Trial Taker dares to provoke a remnant, under the rules, the remnant can even kill the Trial Taker.

"Brother Hao, calm down."

Lin Weijie pushed the door open, holding a cup of water.

"They're just a little ahead of us in level. We have so many resources now, we'll catch up quickly."

As she entered, she had already untied her belt, her cloth clothes hanging loosely, revealing her delicate collarbone.

A glimpse of white was half-covered at her chest.

Chen Hao's anger instantly turned into lust at first sight.

He took two steps, picked her up, and threw her onto the wooden bed.

Lin Weijie's delicate face flushed, her willow-like brows slightly furrowed, and her pearly teeth gently bit.

Chen Hao's roughness made her slightly uncomfortable.

But in the midst of the storm, a smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.

The storm abruptly ceased, and Chen Hao lay on the bed, panting heavily.

Lin Weijie stared blankly at the ceiling.

In Star Abyss, Chen Hao was undoubtedly powerful.

So she had to cling tightly to this powerful figure.

Even if he had many women, what did it matter? She just needed to be the most important one.

A moment later, Chen Hao's lust reignited, and he was about to go for a second round.

Unexpectedly, Lin Weijie pressed against his chest and softly said, "Brother Hao, I can't go on. A few performing arts students came today. The quality is good, should I bring them to you?"

Was she really unable?

Even if two more Chen Haos came, she could still drain them dry.

She understood men too well; being praised for strength was definitely the biggest thrill for them.

At the same time, her suggestion to find women for him could show her magnanimity and uniqueness.

Chen Hao nodded, patted Lin Weijie's perky buttocks, and cursed with a smile, "You vixen!"

He had vented his anger and felt much better, and Lin Weijie's praise made him feel ecstatic.

As for Xia Qing and the other two women, once he was strong enough, he would definitely ride them and ruthlessly ravage them.

While waiting, he opened his panel and secretly exchanged 100 copper for a blue Carefree Pill, which he then took with water.

Then his eyes fixed on the gray and pink pills next to it.

[Ten Fragrance Softening Powder (Gray): A faint floral scent. When detonated, it affects a 5x5 meter area. Non-elite humans and beasts below level 20 will lose combat ability for 30 minutes upon inhalation. Ineffective on those above level 20. Price: 50 silver.]

[Level Eight Grand Medicine, E'ou (Pink): Extreme aphrodisiac. Ineffective on those above level 20. Method of use: oral. Price: 1 gold. Note: Cannot be used in the wilderness.]

The items in the shop panel were bizarre and varied; as long as you had money, there was nothing you couldn't buy, only things you hadn't thought of.

It was a bit expensive, but once his subordinates leveled up, the speed of making money should be very fast.

For a while, Chen Hao was deeply engrossed in earning money and didn't bother Bai Zhaoning and the others again.

Another three days passed, and the ten-day period in the Trial Ground was over. The online population displayed in Novice Village 1008611 instantly changed from 3457 people to 3212 people.

Compared to the more than 5600 people who entered the Trial Ground, there were 43% fewer, showing the true cruelty of Star Abyss.

Of course, this also had to do with the fact that 80% of those who entered Trial Ground 10086 were female.

Level 15 Steelback Demonic Wolf wild monster area.

"Wind Scroll Lingering Snow!"

Bai Zhaoning and Shu Xi shouted in unison, and two ice-blue ice cones shot from their iron swords, striking a Demonic Wolf.

-40

-56

The Demonic Wolf's body immediately took on a light blue hue. Its speed was already halved in the Frost Domain, and now, after being hit by the skill, its speed dropped another notch.

[Wind Scroll Lingering Snow (Active Attack Skill), Internal Energy Ranged Attack, consumes 5 Internal Energy.

Increases Ice Element spell damage by 5 * Internal Energy, inflicting a 10% movement speed and 5% attack speed reduction on the target, lasting 5 seconds.

Proficiency increases skill effect by 20% per level.]

As the Demonic Wolf's speed slowed, Chen Yichun's iron sword, clad in Black Serpent Light Armor, glowed with a greenish hue.

"Crimson Poison Kill."

-48

-5

-5

...When the iron sword struck the Demonic Wolf's body, its light blue and grayish-white fur was once again stained with a greenish hue.

This was the effect of the Wood Attribute Level 10 skill, Crimson Poison Kill. The attack would cause 5 points of continuous poison damage for 5 seconds, and the poison damage could stack.

Moreover, this poison damage was true damage, ignoring defense.

While Chen Yichun chopped at the Demonic Wolf, Xia Qing's long staff, wreathed in flames, smashed onto the Demonic Wolf's head, and the three women, including Shu Xi, also unleashed their skills.

In just over ten seconds, the 4000 HP of the Demonic Wolf was cleared.

Leaving behind a black longsword and a small pile of copper coins.

[Experience +500]

As the Demonic Wolf's corpse fell, Chen Yichun cast a Universal Salvation on herself, and her slightly depleted health rapidly recovered.

Under the domain of Life Link, the health of the other few people also quickly refilled.

"Yay!"

"Equipment dropped!"

All the women cheered.

[Tusk Sword (Black Iron, Level Requirement: 10) External Skill Type, 25 Physical Damage, 5% chance to cause continuous bleeding on target upon attack]

Star

"Finally, it's not a basic equipment anymore."

Chen Yichun excitedly posted the attributes of the Tusk Blade in the team chat box.

"Sword-type external skill, Yi Chun, it's your equipment. Put it on quickly, let's continue."

In three days, Bai Zhaoning and Chen Yichun had both risen to level 13, and All the women were at level 10, mostly equipped with Black Serpent Leather Armor (basic, level requirement 5) and various other basic equipment.

It was also at this time that Chen Hao began leading his group to fight Level 10 Black Serpents.

There was no other way; to avoid conflict, the few of them could only come to the Level 15 Steelback Demonic Wolf area.

With skills, the group found it relatively easy to fight the Demonic Wolves.

The prerequisite was not to be surrounded, as monsters above level 10 would actively attack.

Among the 6 people, Chen Yichun and Xia Qing both chose the external skill type (i.e., physical attack), while the other 4 chose the spell type.

And Chen Yichun, due to her dual attributes, chose Wood Elementals as her main focus, with Water Element users as a secondary study.

With healing skills, the group was much safer fighting monsters, but using skills consumed a lot of mana, which was costly.

"Sister Ning, our leveling speed has slowed down so much. If this continues, Chen Hao and his group will surpass us in a few days. What will we do then?" Chen Yichun looked at her experience of 4212/24880, her unease growing stronger.

Fighting monsters beyond their level was already difficult, and the four internal energy users were all heavy mana consumers.

One Mana Recovery Pill cost 40 copper, and fighting two Demonic Wolves would deplete their mana. Two Demonic Wolves would only yield 60 copper.

If it weren't for Life Link, they would be operating at a deficit.

"Sigh! There's nothing we can do, the level 10 area is all Chen Hao's people." Bai Zhaoning's eyes also held a hint of worry.

Chen Hao had a large team, and his resources were far superior to theirs.

Huang Chen, where exactly did you go?

It's been 12 days.

Will you ever come back?

As the sun set in the west, Bai Zhaoning also called for the group to return to the village.

And Chen Miaohua, while the others weren't paying attention, secretly sent a message on her panel.

Not long after the message was sent, Chen Hao led his men to block the village entrance once again, clutching three pink pills he had just bought from the shop.

Until six figures appeared in the distance, a sinister smile finally appeared on his cold face.

"The debt owed to me, it's time to settle it!"
