Chapter 184: The Meeting (Part 1)
They are very powerful and they have previously broken through human defenses line.
With their current strength, it might be quite hard to fight the demons.
This news made the new players anxious.
What should they do?
Moreover, they learned that the completion of the main storyline quest would affect the storyline.
If they failed the main quest, the players themselves would be fine, but Ulon City could become a ruin, and the NPCs here might disappear.
The NPCs would be gone because, unlike players, they don't respawn after being killed by demons.
The harsh reality of the situation made the new players realize how serious it was.
They started to doubt if their current skills would be enough to resist the demon army's attack.
Pork Rib Boss, leading his team, walked over and heard their worried comments.
He then stopped and said, "Don't give up! We can win!"
Seeing Pork Rib Boss in his impressive glowing armor, the new players looked at him with admiration and responded, "Yeah!"
Pork Rib Boss's armor was a special gift from Hanjun, and it was quite rare among players.
Since they were first-generation beta test players, their levels and qualifications were quite high.
Especially since almost all players had watched Master PungPong's live streamings and read guides from Spicy Flavor Fairy, the weapons they used were created by Flower Deer, and Pork Rib Boss was a leading figure.
They were already veteran players, known to many.
Some people even fainted from excitement just seeing their team.
Pork Rib Boss quickly set off for the city gates, as Hanjun had given them a special mission.
Others watched them from afar, expressing envy, "I should have signed up for the beta test earlier. The veteran players look so cool."
Someone nearby dismissed it, "Even if you signed up, you'd still need to be selected. I signed up three times before I was finally chosen."
The player who was ignored continued asking, "What do you think they're doing now? Aren't they supposed to be preparing to fight the demons? Why are they heading north?"
The friend replied, "I don't know. Maybe it's a hidden quest."
The player sighed, "It must be great to have such high levels. When will I be that impressive?"
The friend didn't respond.
Isn't it obvious?
Just keep working on quests and you'll get stronger.
Pork Rib Boss and his team did indeed receive a hidden quest from Hanjun. Discover more stories at mvl
With the demons about to reach Ulon City, facing millions of them, even the city's defenders might not be able to withstand such a massive assault.
Hanjun's mission for them was to try to scatter the demon forces, meaning they needed to take the initiative to attack them.
It wasn't an unusual tactic, but as long as it was effective, that's what mattered.
After all, the demon army wouldn't send everyone after just four people.
They only needed to eliminate the demons pursuing them until they reached a certain number to complete the quest.
Hanjun had issued this type of mission five times.
Afterward, finding suitable players became difficult.
This was a problem, Hanjun thought.
Ulon City's quests were running low, and new players didn't know where to gain experience, making it hard for them to level up.
This was a significant issue.
Grinding monsters was the best way to level up.
They couldn't let new players avoid dealing with demons just because their levels were too low; this was the biggest obstacle to their progress.
But if new players grouped together, they might be wiped out quickly, which would lead to a poor gaming experience.
Hanjun thought that they might need to use Snowball's help.
After the last incident, Snowball should have a record with the demons.
If Snowball appeared again, the demons wouldn't ignore it.
Using Snowball to draw out some of the demons and make them stay in specific areas would leave some lower-level demons for the players to fight, giving them a chance to gain experience.
This would be like using Snowball to manage the demons.
After coming up with this plan, Hanjun immediately asked for Snowball's opinion.
Snowball quickly agreed.
Last time, Snowball was no match for the Ogre Knight, but now that it has recovered, it wants to improve its own abilities.
This task is also beneficial for it.
With Snowball's agreement, Hanjun got ready to move forward.
As long as Snowball dealt with most of the demons and led the remaining ones to the western forest, Hanjun could set up a barrier to trap them.
Once the players cleared out the demons there, Snowball could bring in new demons, creating a natural monster-grinding spot.
Hanjun thought his plan was solid.
If Snowball started now, he could issue quests to the players.

"We can fight demons now?"
New players were excited when they saw the quest details.
They weren't just excited; after watching the promotional videos, they expected to face demons right away.
Instead, they had been doing so many infrastructure tasks, which got a bit boring.
Although they understood that these tasks were meant to gain more experience to level up.
They had even treated the wolves in the Eastern Plains as monsters to grind.
In just one day, they heard that the wolves in the Eastern Plains were nearly wiped out.
With no predators left, the rabbits on the plains began to multiply, so they started grinding rabbits next.
Using magic on these animals felt like overkill; their skills seemed useless.
It was like having a lot of power but only being able to keep track of numbers.
For example, in Ulon Town, there were three job classes to choose from.
Most people chose to be Priests because Priests had a damage bonus against demons.
Next was the Paladin.
Since Pork Rib Boss left for his mission, he set up a website account to figure out how to become a Paladin.
Many people followed his example and successfully became Paladins at Father Barry's place.
Now, Pork Rib Boss has become the leader of their Paladin group because he has the highest level.
