Chapter 162: Chapter 160 The Martial Arts Tournament Begins [4400 words]_2
The players in Newbie Village stood on their tiptoes, raising their jugs and peanuts in hand, continuing to chat.
An old man, with drunken blurred eyes, asked, “Old Chen, what do you think these Rabbits are after?”
“Gurgle gurgle…”
“Speak properly, have you gotten drunk so quickly? Can’t even straighten your tongue?” The old man didn’t even glance at the bubbles emerging nearby as he went on, “I’ll tell you what, back in the day during the flood control, I too was leaping into the water with sandbags. My style was way better than these Rabbits… Old Chen, why aren’t you talking?”
“Gurgle gurgle…”
“Speak properly!”
“Gurgle gurgle…”
“Old Chen?”
“Old Chen?!”
The old man turned his head and saw Old Chen, who was a full head shorter than him, floating up, still holding a plate and a jug of wine.
Not minding the odd sight, the old man took the jug and continued drinking. The Rabbits kept jumping into the river, and the water level kept rising…
…
In the distance, in the woods, Yi Zheng looked at the continuously popping up numbers in front of him, a bit dazed.
“Experience Value +1”
“Experience Value +1”
“Experience Value +1”
“Experience Value +1”
…
He had gained six thousand Experience Points in one go.
“Where’d these Experience Points come from? Don’t tell me those darn Rabbits have gone and attacked Newbie Village? This… is pretty savage.” Yi Zheng was murmuring to himself when the Skeleton King said, “Boss, look, there’s a lake over there.”
“A lake?!” Yi Zheng was stunned, he was a native Newbie Village Rabbit, born and bred there even before the game server launched. He might not know every blade of grass in Newbie Village like the back of his hand, but he definitely knew whether there was a lake or not!
In the village, not to mention a lake, not even a decent bubble of water!
However, Yi Zheng still looked in the direction the Skeleton King was pointing: “Holy moly, there is actually a lake! And there seem to be some shadows of houses on the lake, and flagpoles… What’s that dense mass of stuff fluttering up there?!”
Yi Zheng took a closer look and only then did he see clearly. The lake was dotted with countless player corpses. What was even more bizarre was that there were players floating on the water surface, drinking while rowing over to the corpses of other players to swipe their jugs of wine.
What was even more bizarre, streaks of golden light fell, and players were being resurrected, only to float up again shortly after!
What was most bizarre of all, some players were excitedly shouting, “I’ve learned how to swim!”
Yi Zheng finally realized that the lake was precisely where Newbie Village No. 1 was located!
g as they jumped into the lake, causing the water level to rise again.
Yi Zheng instantly understood where the lake had come from and said with a wry smile, “This is just too fantastical!”
Before long, Zi Xing ran over, “Boss, your shields and helmets are all ready! Three hundred thousand sets!”
Yi Zheng, pleased with the shields and helmets, nodded in satisfaction, “Good job! Also, tell the brothers to stop suiciding, it’s enough.”
Zi Xing, however, shook his head, “Boss, they can’t be stopped, the brothers seem to have gotten addicted.”
Yi Zheng, taken aback, exclaimed, “Addicted?”
Zi Xing started rubbing his hands together with excitement and said, “Boss, the brothers have discovered that by repeatedly jumping into the river, not only can we learn to swim, but we can also increase the duration we can hold our breath. So, we’re planning to continue.”
Yi Zheng said, “You can continue, but don’t go creating a sea for me!”
Zi Xing replied, “Don’t worry; we’re not jumping with stones anymore.”
Yi Zheng praised, “Well done, you’re becoming quite aware, even anticipating my thoughts now.”
Zi Xing quickly said, “It’s mainly because there aren’t any stones left; the groundhogs have hollowed out a hundred-year-old hill, and the armor the system provided is not enough.”

Yi Zheng said, “…Get lost!”
Zi Xing walked away, and the rabbits in the distance were still tirelessly jumping into the river. As a result, when the rabbit corpses below respawned, the ones above were quickly replenished.
Thus, there was not even the slightest indication that the lake’s surface was decreasing.
When Yi Zheng walked around to the side of the lake, he realized that the rabbits had formed a massive dam by jumping into the water while either holding stones, armor, or commoner clothes packed with mud; their bodies disappeared, but these items were compressed by the continuously jumping rabbits above.
And the lush green grassland wasn’t an endless flat plain; its terrain was similar to the rolling hillocks of Earth’s Hulunbuir grassland.
Newbie Village No. 1 was situated in a relatively low-lying area. With the downstream blocked, the water upstream would obviously flood the area.
Looking at the tall dam, Yi Zheng couldn’t help but admire his little brothers’ courage and perseverance.
Just then, Zi Xing suddenly pointed to a round shield stuck in the dam and said, “Boss, there’s a round shield!”
When Yi Zheng turned around, Zi Xing already had both hands on the round shield, with one foot bracing against the dam as he forcefully yanked it out.
“Stop!”
Crack!
Zi Xing pulled out the round shield and proudly held it up, saying, “Boss, look, a round shield!”
Boom!
Water gushed out as the dam collapsed instantly, and Zi Xing was swept away with an Ao sound.
Yi Zheng turned and ran for his life as the water behind him surged more violently. After running for a while, he remembered that he could fly, so he quickly took to the air and thus escaped being washed away by the river.
Looking down, he saw Newbie Village No. 1 slowly emerging from the water…
Yi Zheng grinned and said, “Thank goodness I ran fast…”
In the days that followed, Yi Zheng didn’t go anywhere but stayed in the village focused on crafting equipment.
First, he wove a layer of spider silk onto the round shield. With this layer, even if the shield was of the lowest quality, its defense power was terrifying, able to withstand damage of 100,000+.
While Yi Zheng was busily upside down with work, the world of the players was buzzing with excitement because the Martial Arts Tournament had begun!
