Chapter 005 Camp

Dark Small Medium Large Original Scroll to Bottom

He is currently at level zero, spending one dollar to save his progress, which can be seen as preserving the fleeting stability he has gained after dying countless times. However, when he looks at his current points, he can't help but regret not studying more back then, not finding a good job, leading to...

A dirt path winds along the riverbank, and near the riverbank is a clearing with a campfire site constructed from a circle of stones. This appears to be specifically prepared for passing travelers, providing a convenient place for people to stop briefly and rest.

As for how strong the different levels are, a reference is provided on the retinal image— the evil dragon Alathis, who has killed Zhou Qingfeng countless times, is a newly adult red dragon. By dragon standards, it is still very young, only at level 12, and has not even reached the legendary tier.

Zhou Qingfeng looked down again. He had crossed over to a world of swords and magic, where reaching level 10 meant being a master, and further advancement became quite difficult. Level 15 reached the legendary status, and if one could attain level 30, they would be considered a demigod. Level 40 marked the peak, already belonging to the divine tier

After walking a considerable distance, when Zhou Qingfeng pushed aside a few branches, his view suddenly opened up. He emerged from the woods to find himself at the edge of a small riverbank.

The temperature of the fire pit has cooled, but there are some leftover food scraps on the ground. Zhou Qingfeng kicked out the remnants of beast bones and similar items from the ashes, examining the broken ends to confirm that this campsite had been used not long ago

To my surprise, I found myself without money after traveling through time.

Zhou Qingfeng's mind stirred, and a detailed explanation regarding archiving emerged: "Using the deposits of the selected individual prior to their traversal as a baseline, they are converted into basic point vouchers. After the trial concludes, it is possible to save or extract the state from a specific point in time.

The goblin and the lanky bandit did not attract much attention from the elderly knight. However, upon seeing Zhou Qingfeng, his gaze suddenly fixated on the short sword held by the latter.

The sky was already overcast, and the light in the forest was even dimmer. The accumulated fallen leaves and withered branches rotted on the ground, yielding a soft, mushy texture underfoot. Startled, a multitude of crawling insects and snakes emerged from beneath the leaves, frantically burrowing in all directions, evoking both fear and disgust.

Zhou Qingfeng looked at this and did not know whether to feel happy or dejected ... If reaching level 40 is the limit, this money ...! ... is still unaffordable!

Forget it, it doesn't matter

The ground has turned to scorched earth, yet it has not ignited into a great fire. The trees in this forest are hard, dark, and oddly shaped, seemingly difficult to catch fire. Although the shattered heart-shaped stone necklace is now in ruins, Zhou Qingfeng still wears it around his neck, his gaze fixed on that sharp sword

The retinal image prominently displays the amount of money Zhou Qingfeng had deposited in the bank before his time travel. After working for several years, he had only saved this little, and now it has surprisingly become the basis for his survival.

The sky continued to darken, and just before nightfall, a rumble of hooves echoed along the riverside road. A dozen tall horses, pulling a cart, surged into the camp, causing seven or eight goblins to scream in fright and flee.

The cart is being pulled by two snarling wolves, with seven or eight goblins holding long spears standing on either side of the cage

Zhou Qingfeng decided to refrain from wandering aimlessly and to stay at the camp to await the next group of travelers. He would inquire and gather information before determining his next course of action. Otherwise, with his current physical condition, continuing to wander recklessly might lead to him collapsing midway.

The twisted branches occasionally brush against the neck, snagging the clothing and causing great trouble with their tugging and pulling. Occasionally, bloodsucking insects crawl over, biting and causing both pain and itching.

The cost for saving at level 10 is 1,024 yuan, while loading a save file requires over 100,000 yuan. This would completely deplete all of Zhou Qingfeng's savings in one go

From dawn until nearly dusk, someone finally appeared on the riverside road. A tall and thin individual, in his twenties, riding a horse, with an ordinary appearance. Upon seeing the newcomer, Zhou Qingfeng felt a surge of joy in his heart, but he remained composed, merely exchanging a glance with the person as a form of greeting

This discovery left Zhou Qingfeng both surprised and delighted; the presence of a camp inevitably indicated the presence of people, which was certainly better than wandering alone in the wilderness. However, the camp was silent and still, with a few pieces of wood that had yet to burn out in the stone-built fire pit.

However, considering racial advantages, a twelfth-level red dragon is already capable of confronting legendary powerhouses

Zhou Qingfeng can only keep his distance; he cannot afford to run around carelessly at this moment. After all, having passed the so-called 'trial', reloading costs one hundred coins. This amount may seem insignificant, but his savings can only support a little over one thousand attempts. He has already died over one thousand times at the cliff.

Each save consumes `2 to the power of N` points, where N is the level. The cost of loading a save is one hundred times the saving cost. Your current level is zero, and the deposit is converted into points, with a balance of 125,463.86 yuan

Before long, a convoy arrived on the road. A simple wooden cart slowly entered the camp, carrying a cage. The cage was small, and inside it was a curled-up, ugly man with his hands and feet bound.

The blade is not long, designed specifically as a short sword for women. The hilt and scabbard are exquisitely crafted and luxurious, clearly indicating that they are high-end goods used by nobility. When the spring mechanism is activated to draw the sword, a cold light radiates. The blade is like a mirror, reflecting the current appearance of Qiu Qingfeng

I arrived at this roadside campsite and forgot to save my progress. If I die, not only will I waste 100 yuan, but I will also have to walk that stretch of forest road again. How exhausting!

This can still be saved after crossing over

Zhou Qingfeng crawled out from beneath the decaying leaves to examine the heart-shaped stone necklace that had saved his life. The originally intact heart-shaped stone had become shattered. Despite hiding under the decaying leaves, he was unable to completely evade the attack of the red dragon, and it was only thanks to the shield provided by the necklace that he survived

Zhou Qingfeng was stunned for a while upon seeing this group of non-human creatures, but then he thought to himself, having no fear of even dragons, why should he be afraid of these bird-like beings? His only concern now was the issue of food and drink. After traversing the forest all day, he was extremely fatigued and could no longer bear the hunger.

Can I still earn money to increase the value of my points? Zhou Qingfeng thought for a moment, and the retinal display quickly provided an answer: Please continue to explore the unknown world and unlock more abilities

The tall and slender newcomer carefully scrutinized Zhou Qingfeng, taking note of everything from his clothing and shoes to the short sword he was holding. Only after confirming safety did he tie his horse to a post in the camp, then went outside the camp to gather a few pieces of rotten wood to throw into the fire pit, and took out a flint to start the fire

The old knight dismounted and walked straight towards Zhou Qingfeng, and the knights behind him immediately closed in. Zhou Qingfeng had no choice but to rise to meet them, his hand resting on the hilt of his sword. He thought to himself: "This is bad, with so many people surrounding me, I'm definitely going to be done for."

At level 20, the storage jumps to one million, and at level 30, it requires over one billion RMB to store once. Reading and *illustrated* books adds another two zeros—it's so expensive, who can afford it!

These green-skinned creatures are short in stature, with a layer of coarse hair covering their bodies. They have flat faces, large nostrils, pointed ears, and small sharp teeth, making them exceedingly ugly.

At first glance, the current cost of saving and loading is not high, but as soon as Zhou Qingfeng does a little calculation, he realizes that this cost will become quite terrifying as the level increases

The goblins chattered as they drove the prison cart into the camp, then they began to screech and rush to the fire pit. They pointed at each other to indicate who should work, yet none were willing to take action

On horseback sat a knight, clad in complete armor, exuding an imposing presence. The leader, with graying hair, reined in the neighing warhorse and surveyed the camp.

That's right, it's a goblin

Upon seeing the sharp gaze of the other party, Zhou Qingfeng realized that he was too inexperienced. The short sword he was holding was too conspicuous, which was not a good omen. ... But now, it was all too late ...

It is certainly not advisable to go beyond the cliff
