4: Isn't this a free gift?

"Hahahaha, luckily I chose a long-range shooting class back then! It's super fun to play now!"

"Wuwu~ Can someone carry me T_T I can't beat the lightning monsters anymore..."

Seeing everyone talk about their difficult experiences, especially when they mentioned problems that also plagued her, Yu Waner had a flash of inspiration and suggested:

"Is everyone on Server 6? Why don't we team up to challenge it? We should be able to clear this stage, right?"

Not long after the message was sent, it received an enthusiastic response.

The originally deserted Novice Village (Newbie Village) quickly filled with friends who were also Level 8. Yu Waner pulled two Ghost Swordsmen and Pink Wings and rushed into the map that had once given her so much trouble.

"Boss, where did you get this weapon? It's so cool and flashy."

"Holy cow, this one weapon is way better than my crappy one!"

As soon as they entered the map, the two Ghost Swordsmen, holding worn-out wooden sticks, asked enviously.

They also wanted to have long and large weapons!

"This dropped when I was clearing a map. As long as you kill monsters, there's a chance to get equipment."

Yu Waner explained happily, feeling exceptionally satisfied. It seemed like it had been a long time since she felt like such a pro.

Under Yu Waner's leadership, the four of them successfully cleared Thunderous Ruins this time.

"Group leader, you're awesome!"

"Wow! Guild Leader, your moves are so smooth, how do you practice?"

"This Goblin is really annoying, we'll have to group up to farm it in the future!"

"Haha, keep it low-key, keep it low-key!"

Looking at her friends' messages, Yu Waner laughed heartily, feeling even more that this game was extremely interesting.

After clearing Thunderous Ruins, the four of them were similar in level, and their newly accepted quests were also very consistent.

No one had challenged the new stage yet, so to be safe, the four decided to continue teaming up to complete the quests.

...

Time flew by, and it was already 4 AM. Yu Waner finally reached Level 10 and learned all the new skills.

"I'm done playing, I need to rest. I have to work tomorrow, so I'm logging off first."

"I'm about done too, I need to go prepare for my stream. Let's continue tomorrow!"

"I never thought this game would be so fun. I used to think it was a bad game."

"Indeed, I thought Pink Wings had found some trash game, but it actually has such a pleasant surprise!"

"Alright, alright, you guys go to sleep. We'll fight again tomorrow!"

After sending off her three teammates, Yu Waner thought about going to a dungeon to practice her new skills.

But as soon as she entered the dungeon interface, she found that she couldn't enter.

She scanned the screen and then noticed a prompt in the upper right corner—she had no stamina left and couldn't continue farming dungeons.

"Ah!"

Having finally learned new moves but being unable to use them made Yu Waner quite frustrated.

Checking the rules, she found that stamina would only refresh at 6 AM.

That meant she would have to wait two more hours before she could start adventuring again.

However, Yu Waner was now eager to experience the newly unlocked content.

"There should be something to restore stamina in the shop!"

She quickly opened the shop page, but found that the shop was not yet open...

"Oh dear! Why did the Designer have to set this restriction? Why can't people just play freely all the time?"

She really didn't understand the developers' intentions.

If it was for profit, setting a threshold that affected the player experience would be one thing, but they hadn't even opened the top-up function.

Isn't this just giving away benefits for free?

Although she hadn't slept much all night, Yu Waner was now extremely sleepy, and didn't even have the energy to remove her makeup.

But the new moves she learned couldn't be tested yet, and that feeling was incredibly annoying.

She checked the time; it was still a full two hours until dawn.

Helpless, she simply created a new character to try it out.

Sure enough, just as expected.

The new character had a full stamina bar and could fight and explore to her heart's content.

Relying on her previously accumulated experience, this time was even easier, and she even managed to clear Thunderous Ruins by herself!

And she quickly leveled up to 15 using the limited energy, thereby unlocking the next scene: Hutton Mar!

By the time the second Ghost Swordsman ran out of energy, it was just dawn.

At the same time, her original partner could also move again.

Looking at the character list full of energy in front of her, Yu Waner felt a bit dizzy.

She had originally planned to lie down for a short nap, but she couldn't sleep soundly, her mind filled with various skills from the game and new, unexplored areas.

What kind of quests would the new adventures bring?

What kind of ultimate treasures could the final BOSS drop?

What secret techniques could she master after reaching Level 20?

All these thoughts, like a shot of adrenaline, instantly sobered her up.

Kicking off her blankets abruptly, Yu Waner sat up and began a new round of her journey...

At six o'clock in the morning, in the Douyu live stream.

Lin Shufen woke up and got ready much earlier than usual, and without time for breakfast, she immediately opened her computer and logged into Dungeon & Fighter.

She was known as "Pink Wings" in the chat group. Although her fame wasn't particularly great, her number of fans was quite considerable.

Especially her unique voice attracted a large number of loyal supporters.

Yesterday, she accidentally discovered this game. Originally, she only downloaded it out of curiosity.

Who knew that once she tried it, she would become addicted? As a seasoned enthusiast, such a novel and unique world view and gameplay were truly rare.

If no major bugs occurred later, it would undoubtedly become extremely popular.

Normally, Lin Shufen would start her stream at 10 AM. The main reason she started so early today was that she was eager to share this joy with everyone.

Plus, her stamina was about to fully replenish, and she was impatiently waiting to level up her Gunner brother!

Soon after logging on, she received many enthusiastic welcomes from familiar faces:

"Good morning~ What's blocking my view!"

"Little sister, are you open for business so early? Why don't you marry me and let me support you?"

"It seems the Streamer still hasn't grasped the essence of making money. If she switched to dancing otaku dances, she'd probably become hugely popular~"

"Hey, let me tell everyone a secret: a few days ago, I found a super awesome new game in the forum, and it's only 1GB in size~"

With that, she began her performance, and the pixelated DNF screen appeared on the monitor.

At this moment, the bullet chat was immediately filled with all sorts of comments:

"Wow, what year is this antique from? The graphics are so crude."

"Such a small software, it probably can't be that good, can it? Is it another commercial collaboration?"

"Although the size is limited, the style is still quite cool..."

"Dungeon & Fighter... that name is pretty cool."

Scanning the bullet chat, Lin Shufen found that everyone was not very optimistic about the game she recommended.

Lin Shufen was not surprised.

Initially, she herself didn't think this game was anything special, let alone that it was only 1GB in size.
