Qin Feng ran a long distance. The stone golem moved very slowly and couldn't catch up with them at all. After losing sight of them, it could only roar at the sky to vent its dissatisfaction.
One Red Alert soldier carried Qin Feng on one shoulder and Ye Shen on the other, running for a long distance. Although their appearance was somewhat comical, their speed was very fast.
Finally, they reached a jungle.
Feeling safe, the two sat on the grass to rest.
Ye Shen said with lingering fear, "That monster was too huge. Its voice sounded incredibly powerful. It truly lives up to its commander-level status. If we could kill it, I wonder what level of treasure chest it would drop? The hint said that monsters of commander level and above can drop treasure chests, and the drop rate depends on the monster's strength. What level of treasure chest do you think that monster could drop?"
Qin Feng shook his head. This was not within his consideration. No matter what kind of treasure chest it dropped, it had nothing to do with them now, because they were simply incapable of defeating that monster.
Seeing Qin Feng close his eyes, Ye Shen opened the regional chat channel to see if there was any information about commander-level monsters.
After looking around and finding nothing, he sent a message.
"I've encountered a commander-level monster here. Is anyone interested in killing it? After all, monsters of this level can drop treasure chests. I can provide information, and we can team up. Many hands make light work. If we kill this monster, we'll be rich."
Not long after, many people replied to him, and many sent private messages.
Ye Shen selected a few strong and high-level players and replied.
One person asked, "What does this commander-level monster look like? How strong is its combat power? What is your strength? I have 20 combat power and a special skill, but I can't tell you the skill's effect because I'm not sure if your information is true."
Ye Shen replied, "I can provide you with information and the location of this monster. Killing the monster requires everyone's effort, and I'll be responsible for providing the information. You'll be responsible for dealing with it. Based on the current information, this monster has 200 combat power. I'll tell you the other detailed information when we team up."
Upon receiving such a reply, that person cursed, "Scram!"
Then, there was no more news from him.
Ye Shen felt a bit awkward and then replied to someone with a strength of 30 combat power.
This person asked, "If I team up with you, can we defeat this commander-level monster? How much combat power does it have? How much health does it have? How many people are in your team now? What is the team's overall combat power?"
Ye Shen thought for a moment and said, "We are currently forming a team. The monster has 200 combat power and a lot of health. It's a monster with strong defense, but it moves very slowly. We only have two people in our team right now. If you join, I think our team can be quickly organized to eliminate this commander-level monster."
Upon seeing this reply, that person replied indifferently, "Heh... Sorry, no interest. Instead of risking killing a commander-level monster, it's more practical to obediently kill ordinary monsters to level up and get treasure chests. By the time you build your team, it'll be too late. I don't want to waste precious time."
"..."
Ye Shen was rejected one after another and withdrew from the regional chat panel. He knew that it was unlikely to gather enough people to defeat this commander-level monster, as monsters of this level were too powerful, and no one was willing to take the risk.
Moreover, no one knew what benefits killing this monster would bring. If the effort and reward were not proportional, they would have wasted their time for nothing.
Now, as long as they could be among the top 100 players to reach level 50 within the region, they would receive a golden treasure chest. Who would be willing to risk challenging such a high-level monster?
Thinking this through, Ye Shen decided not to waste any more time. He had originally hoped to gain something from his information, but now it seemed no one was foolish. Everyone was calculating their gains and losses very carefully when it came to unknown dangers and rewards.
He looked up at Qin Feng and saw that the latter was lying on the grass with his eyes closed, motionless.
He glanced at the sky. There was still some time before dark. If they walked in other directions, they might encounter some ordinary monsters. They could kill them for experience and money. Lying here like this was a waste of time.
So, he asked, "Are you tired, or are you scared? It's still early, shall we go somewhere else and look for ordinary monsters?"
Qin Feng opened his eyes and replied, "We'll stop here for today. We'll leave when it's dawn tomorrow!"
"Wow, with such good weather and so much time before dark, are you just letting time slip away? If we don't hurry, we might not make it into the top 100 to reach level 50!"
Qin Feng smiled calmly, "Are you doubting your precognitive ability now?"
Hearing this, Ye Shen was speechless.
According to his precognitive calculations, they would be able to reach level 50 among the top 100 players!
However, nothing was absolute. All his predictions about the future had some chaos mixed in. Future events were constantly changing, and not everything could go as planned. Although the general direction had a high probability of success for him, he was still worried that that sliver of chaos would take effect, preventing them from reaching the top 100 to level 50.
Predicting the future was not accurate. If it were past events, he could predict them precisely.
He was still a little uneasy, especially seeing his teammate sleeping on the grass in broad daylight, he felt anxious.
After much thought, he said, "Why don't you lie here and rest? Lend me your subordinates. I'll take them to find ordinary monsters. That way, you can also gain experience and money while lying here. Isn't that killing two birds with one stone? It's already past noon, and the weather is not as hot anymore. We have no reason to lie in the shade and rest."
Qin Feng shook his head, "No, they are my guarantee of safety. If I lend them to you, what will I do if monsters appear around me? I said I'm resting now, so don't bother me."
Ye Shen was speechless, and he stopped talking because there was no use in him talking.
In the team, his S-rank skill "Precognition" could not be turned into actual combat power. The real combat power was his subordinates. Without Qin Feng, he could not kill monsters, and might even be in danger.
Now, he could only hope that his precognitive ability was accurate and that the sliver of chaos and uncertainty would not happen to him.
