At the beginning, the Druids imdiately started sprinting, but Lu Li was jogging at a leisurely pace. The road near the start was very smooth and almost completely straight.
Jogging consud very little stamina, but he was quickly overtaken by nearly everyone.
After running for a few minutes, the road began to roughen up. It wasn’t just a bumpy road – there were piles of rubble which forced the players to run around them. The Druids’ ability to sprint was no longer an advantage.
Without any other alternatives, they had to revert back to human form to reduce their stamina loss.
Lu Li then summoned his Headless Paladin’s mount. These Undead Warhorses were very suitable for this terrain as they could almost hover. Even if Lu Li couldn’t fly, his mount could easily avoid the pits.
The difference in mounts was obvious here.
The velociraptor had the strongest jumping ability and had the greatest advantage in this terrain. There would also be a variety of flying mounts in the future.
The previous gap between Lu Li and the others had now greatly reduced, but he had significantly more Stamina than them.
Once they had passed through the rough road, they were presented with a section of water.
A marathon in the real world was nothing like this. People who attempted an exercise this strenuous might actually end up dead.
Normal players would use an Underwater Breathing Potion to swim through the water. There was also so high-end equipnt that could increase their swimming speed, along with a fishing rod that was awarded in the fishing competition that transford a player into a fish. This gave them unlimited underwater breathing and swimming.
Druids didn’t have any trouble here, and simply transford into Seals.
The sa was true of Lu Li, but he was much faster than an ordinary Druid, despite his Stamina consumption remaining the sa.
After they passed the body of water, the path beca relatively smooth again. Lu Li was no longer jogging this ti – instead, he transford into a crow and flew in a straight line.
Although this section of the road was smooth, it snaked around several mountains.
As was common knowledge, the shortest path between two lines was a straight one. The constantly twisting and turning path was not nearly as efficient as the straight path in the sky.
However, Lu Li discovered that there were actually other players who could also fly. One of them had a pair of red wings, but they flew much slower than him.
If Lu Li’s flying increased his movent speed by 60%, the long-winged person had only gained 15% to 20%.
At this stage, Lu Li finally managed to make it into the top group of players and had beco the leader of the pack. Almost none of them were faster than him, yet all of them had sprinted past him at the beginning. Their initial efforts had definitely not paid off.
The mountain section was quite long, and after a while Lu Li no longer had the Stamina to fly. He didn’t even have the Stamina to sprint.
Dawn was a virtual reality ga, which ant that movent speed was really just data. This piece of data could change according to a person’s choice of movent. However, it was divided into three categories, which were made especially evident during a marathon – walking, jogging and sprinting. Sprinting consud Stamina the fastest and walking the slowest, but you could recover stamina while walking.
While the players around him were jogging, Lu Li decided it would be better for his Stamina to walk.
Sprinting could of course give him a quick burst of speed, but it consud Stamina too quickly. On the contrary, walking was slow and most players could overtake you. As such, experienced players knew how and when to alternate between the three states.
In the later stages of the race, Lu Li kept up his lead and didn’t suffer any more significant losses in position.
Even if soone could increase their speed to reach him, it was only a matter of ti before their Stamina was exhausted and they would fall behind once again. Lu Li didn’t even need to change into leopard form; he won the race by making sure he maintained his Stamina.
By the ti he crossed the finish line, his Stamina was almost exhausted and had been used almost perfectly. This competition wasn’t about beating the other players; this was sothing Lu Li now knew from experience.
Of course, there were many other marathons running at the sa ti.
The temptation of an Epic equipnt was quite strong, and most players didn’t mind trying if they thought they had even the slightest chance of winning.
It was human nature to try and leave it up to luck, even when they weren’t particularly good at sothing. Most players were unlike Water Fairy, who knew herself well enough to skip the competition.
It wasn’t just Druids who won in the different matches either.
There were Mages who had learned flying skills, Paladins with special auras or even so with flying mounts. There were Warlocks who could summon Flying Gargoyles, and a few special pets that could increase their owner’s speed.
Lu Li had been very conservative in today’s ga.
He didn’t even need to use any of his skills, despite knowing that skills and equipnt effects did not cost additional Stamina.
Even by the ti that the first marathons concluded, it was still too early. High school students like Remnant Dream, Hachi Chan and Sesa Rice Ball still hadn’t co online.
The virtual ga was almost like a second world. Ga companies designed every aspect of their ga in an attempt to make it sothing more than just a levelling ga.
From Christmas to the Spring Festival, there was so kind of activity almost every day.
No one had the energy to participate in all the activities, even if all of them had great rewards.
Lu Li had decided to join a murder ga today. He was put into a modern city with nurous other players who were participating.
There was a large number of local people in the city who looked no different from the players and were almost as intelligent as them. According so posts Lu Li had read in his previous life, many players suspected that the NPCs here were controlled by people in the real world.
After entering, Lu Li quickly found an NPC that was similar to him and Stunned him.
This poor guy was carrying a piece of bread that he had a bite taken out of it and a laptop book. He looked exactly like a person who worked in the city.
After changing into his clothes and fixing his hair, Lu Li picked up the laptop bag and bread. He carried the laptop bag in one hand and the bread in the other, strolling down the sidewalk. Not too far from him, a player was surrounded by the NPCs and killed.
