Noob Player

Chapter 102: ZhongL

There was a snowy area to the north of his city. After doing some research, he found that that was the only snowy area near the city. No other cities were close to the snowy region aside from the city where he was at.

So as soon as Liu Zhong saw the snowy area in the video. He immediately guessed that the Big Noob was taking the video in that area, "No one is willing to venture into the snow area as the cold slowed down their movement by ten percent,"

"I will check it tomorrow" Liu Zhong sat back and continued the video. He did not have quota time to play the game anymore. He had no choice but to continue his investigation and finished watching the video.

As Runner entered the snowy land a screen notification popped. Liu Zhong was shocked when he saw the notification.

[The low temperature slows your movement by twenty-five percent]

"This is now the Snow Hill. The Snow Hill only slows down our movement by ten percent," Liu Zhong paused the video and opened the forum. He then searched for information if there was a certain part of The Snowy Hill that slowed down the movement by twenty-five percent.

No one wanted to hunt in that Snow Hill. However, there was someone who explored Snowy Hill. The player posted the story of what he encountered in Snowy Hill. There was a discovery of one of the Ten Wonders, The Deep White. Just like the name, the gorge's wall was covered in white snow hence it was named The Deep White.

Liu Zhong skimmed over the story, but the player never told anything about the area that slowed down the movement by twenty-five percent. There was an area with a lower temperature than the other area but it only slowed down the movement by fifteen percent.

"Huh!?" Liu Zhong was confused a little bit. He checked over all the story if the explorer had not visited all the areas. However, the poster marked that all parts of Snowy Hill had been explored by him. He posted a picture of The Deep White which was pretty. The explorer also sold the map of Snowy Hill.

[If you want to buy the complete and detailed map of Snowy Hill please send me a message. Price: 100 Yuan (Non-Negotiable)]

That was a quite smart way to earn money, selling maps. This player was not the only one who did this, of course. Many explorers explored the area of high-level monsters to sell the map.

"Don't tell me it's not in Snowy Hill," Liu Zhong muttered in a low voice. He was excited that he finally found a lead; the only clue he had so far was gone. He was wrong about the snowy area.

"Hah" Liu Zhong let out a sigh and continued the video. From the amateur editing, he could see that Big Noob cut the scene. After Runner entered the snowy area, he encountered the white vulture. Instead of fighting the Ice Vulture, Big Noob turned around and ran back toward the Wrath Troll's group.

"Ah, I see" Liu Zhong quickly guessed what happened next. Runner was luring the Ice Vulture toward the Wrath Troll, "That's a smart decision. Is he really a noob?" Liu Zhong muttered in a low voice.

Then the scene skipped toward the part where the Wrath Troll and the Ice Vulture clashed. It was an intense clash. Even though the editing was amateur, it added a close shoot as well that made the video a lot better. Looking at the battle on his screen, Liu Zhong forgot the purpose of watching the video. He was engrossed with the battle.

The video suddenly shook and Liu Zhong heard footsteps. From the sound, it was the step of a giant. He watched the video on full screen so he thought it was an earthquake, "What!? An earthquake!?" He almost ran away from his room until he realized that it was the camera video that was shaking.

He mocked the editor as an amateur but the video succeeded in scaring him in that part. After that, the screen turned black. This time, he thought his computer crashed. Sometimes his computer would crash so he thought his computer crashed. But then a sentence appeared on the screen.

[Next Episode: Boss Vs Boss!]

"What? it's over?" Liu Zhong felt that the video was too short. He then looked at the duration. It was thirteen minutes and forty-seven seconds long. It was a normal ten minutes long video.

"I finally understand the feeling of these guys," Liu Zhong recalled in the comment section where they asked Big Noob to post the next episode. He too wanted to know what happened next. What The Ice Vulture Boss looked like, and what the Wrath Troll Boss looked like.

"Ice Vulture and Wrath Troll!? This is a big clue!" Liu Zhong opened the forum once again and searched "Ice Vulture". If he could find where this Ice Vulture's territory was then he could find Big Noob. Maybe he could find Goddess Yue as well.

However, he could not find anything regarding Ice Vulture on the forum but the video posted by Big Noob. Then he changed the keyword to "Wrath Troll". A lot of results appeared but most of them were a talk about a normal troll instead of a Wrath Troll. That meant Big Noob was the first one to encounter Ice Vulture and Wrath Troll.

Bang!

Liu Zhong slammed his palm down to the table. All the leads puffed out into smoke as his guess about Snowy Hill was completely wrong. He began tapping the desk with his index finger again.

"First Noob Big Noob Runner Maniac Working Out Second Noob Both fell into the Ten Wonders and disappeared afterward" Liu Zhong paused for a moment as he thought of something crazy, "Don't tell me there's another area inside the Ten Wonders? But I will die if I fall into that deep gorge"

Liu Zhong's character had reached level 11 after a lot of difficulties. The reason he was low in level was that he just received his Gaming Pod a week ago. A week for level 11 was quite fast in fact. He did not want a drop level after knowing how hard it was to level up in Tribe Online.

"But it's worth a try since there's a chance that I can meet Goddess Yue if she's in that hidden world inside the gorge," The determination of meeting his idol was much bigger than his concern over dropping a level.

"Let's look for more information before I try that crazy idea" Liu Zhong continued his research until late at night. Thanks to that he woke up late the next day.

He woke up at twelve. If not for his mother waking him up he might sleep until the evening, "I can't sleep again. I will test my crazy theory today," Liu Zhong made sure that he ate first so his parents could not find his addiction playing the game or else her parents would confiscate the gaming pod.

At one am, Liu Zhong purchased the map from the explorer who explored Snowy Hill. After getting the map, he logged in. He did not waste his time in the city. He did not even bother to re-stock his healing potion.

Liu Zhong directly headed toward The Deep White. Fortunately, the map was so detailed as it included a path to reach The Deep White without encountering the monsters. 

After a half an hour journey, Liu Zhong found the famous The Deep White. He realized that there were a few couples around The Deep White. Most of them were taking pictures and enjoyed the amazing view.

The picture posted by the explorer was amazing but looking at The Deep White directly was much more amazing than he thought. The explorer had measured that The Deep White was around four hundred meters long.

Curious about what The Deep White looked like, Liu Zhong approached the famous gorge. The explorer warned him not to get too near to the gorge but he did not care about that until he reached the edge of The Deep White. The freezing wind hit his face and he felt that his face was freezing as well.

Liu Zhong immediately got away from The Deep White and held his cheeks. It was freezing cold, much colder than his hand that had been exposed to the cold snow for half an hour.

"I might die before I can reach the bottom of this gorge," He muttered in a low voice, "Let's wait for these people to leave,"

Liu Zhong did not want the other players to see him jumping into the gorge. He was afraid that he would be labeled the third noob that jumped into the gorge. That was the last thing he wanted.

Since Snowy Hill was too cold, people soon left The Deep White, "This is my chance," Liu Zhong looked for an empty area and came closer to the gorge. He took a deep breath as he was seven meters away from the gorge, "I should close my eyes too," He closed his eyes and ran into the gorge, "For Goddess Yue!"

*** ***

"That's how I reach here," Liu Zhong or he introduced himself as ZhongL. ZhongL was his in-game name. He told everyone in the hidden village how he reached this place. His intention was to show off that he was smart enough to find this place.

"You are quite smart," Brother Jiang praised the young man. Liu Zhong's smile got wider as he heard the praise.

"Our official guide is not here so I will be your guide instead, ZhongL," Ming stood up and tried to be a good senior.

Liu Zhong raised his hand, "Before that, can I take a picture with you, Go- Yue?"
