What is called a sea of people?
At the farm house east of the monastery, when Ben arrived, a large group of people were crowded in front of the house.
Unlike the regular monsters in the game, Garrick was a quest monster that only appeared one at a time.
Although Lucas had specifically designed mirrored instances and adjusted the respawn rate of Garrick in the game.
But since the game had just launched, Ben saw a scene that left him speechless.
In front of the small farm, there were at least forty or fifty players.
The tightly closed farm door had just been opened, and before Ben could even see what the BOSS looked like, he saw a flurry of swords and shadows, accompanied by various effects like fireballs, and then he heard a scream of 'Ugh!'
The monster named Garrick was instantly killed, and at the same time, a team invitation popped up.
The surrounding players were all chattering.
'Damn it, solo players team up! If everyone in a team has the same quest and one person beats the BOSS, everyone can complete the quest, don't waste slots!'
'Join, join, join! Type if you don't have a team'
'Haha, is this an elite monster or a BOSS? Too tragic, I never saw him live for more than a second.'
'BOSS: Do you guys have any manners? Could you let me take a peek at what the outside world looks like?'
'Damn, I've been waiting for five minutes, and I still haven't gotten a chance to hit him!'
'Haha, I got him, I'm leaving.'
Looking at the players around, Ben also joined a team, two mages, a paladin, and a warrior.
However, when fighting this thing, it obviously had nothing to do with class composition, it mainly depended on who was the fastest.
And Ben understood why there were so many people here.
Although a team can complete shared quests together, only one monster spawns at a time, which can only accommodate a maximum of five people.
Another more deadly point was that a constant stream of new players was running over to do this quest.
"Damn, when are we ever going to finish?"
"Does it have to be this cruel?"
Some players had obviously noticed this problem, this chaotic mess made it impossible to fight.
A group of people were talking all at once, some typing and some turning on the public microphone in the game.
This was also different from his previous life. Lucas had built-in voice chat in the game. Non-friends, non-team members, and non-guild members could also chat with each other through voice in the game, but only within a certain range.
With all kinds of voices, some speaking Mandarin and some speaking local dialects, someone suggested, and everyone unified their speech: line up.
After all, the scene was too chaotic, but fighting like this was completely based on luck, and new players kept coming.
If this continued, they would either give up the quest or just keep waiting here.
So many players discussed it and decided to be more polite and civilized, since everyone was promoting civilized cities in real life.
"Behave in the game, the people in front line up! One team goes at a time, everyone team up and don't waste time!"
'That's right, have some manners, line up!'
'We're lining up, we're lining up!'
'That paladin in front, what are you doing? Don't cut in line! Look at the hammer in your hand, look at your holy light, is this how a paladin should act?'
'Watch out if you cut in line, you'll find hellfires under your blanket at night!'
It was chaotic at first, but while waiting for the BOSS, everyone started chatting and spontaneously formed a long line.
And the players who had just arrived were all confused at first, but seeing everyone being so well-behaved, they basically lined up in silence.
This was also human instinct to conform. When everyone is lining up, you will subconsciously abide by the order.
Of course, there were also some who didn't want to follow the rules, but they would be verbally educated by a group of people, and no one would team up with them. One person wouldn't be able to steal the quest monster from other five-man teams.
So, after these players were defeated, they honestly ran to the back of the line to line up.
But while everyone was lining up, some mages who had nothing to do were giving out water to everyone.
As for food, many mage players had not reached that level.
The surrounding players also started discussing.
'You mages are so comfortable, you can be self-sufficient!'
'No, no, it costs us mages a lot of money too, and this thing has a time limit, and you can only use it when you're out of combat.'
'Actually, I think this is very realistic. After all, in most Western fantasy games, mages are equivalent to rich people, right?'
'That's right, that's right, so mages are rich, that's very realistic!'
Ben, who was waiting in line, listened to the topics the two mages in the team were discussing with other players and felt a little tired.
'And if you go by Western fantasy novels and games, warriors are usually cannon fodder, right?'
Ben was silent for a moment and silently took a step forward.
'People without mage talent become warriors, right?'
'Mages are all noble lords, and warriors are all just common soldiers?'
Ben hummed twice and didn't say anything as he listened to the surrounding players' discussion.
But some warrior players refuted.
'We warriors do seem a little tough now, but I think we warriors are late bloomers.'
'That's right! Did you see our Charge skill? In future PVP, we warriors will be the nightmare of you mages!'
'And for dungeons, we rely on warriors with defense talents!'
'What do you mean basically? We paladins object!'
'It's the same, it's the same, warriors and knights are one family. We warriors are a little unlucky now, do you think you knights have it any easier?'
'That's true, it's okay, let's work hard together, we win in the future!'
Listening to the surrounding players, Ben nodded in agreement.
So what if you can conjure bread and water?
On the battlefield, you fragile mages wouldn't be able to withstand a single slash from his valiant warrior.
What's so special? Let's see you fight BOSSES and do dungeons without them having warriors to tank.
Bread and water?
He would rather starve to death than accept a sip of water or a piece of bread from you mages!
While Ben was thinking with great integrity, it was finally his team's turn. They easily killed Garrick, looted the corpse, and picked up the quest items.
After getting the quest items, they added each other as friends in the team. Ben went back to turn in the quest, and the experience he received allowed him to successfully level up to level 6.
He seemed to have cleared most of the quests around Elwynn Forest, so next he was planning to check out Goldshire, which he had seen before. The great warrior's journey was about to begin.
