Muscular Rabbits Legion: "No one can escape from the novice village!"

Everyone was stunned at those words.

Congxue said, "We can't even kill the monsters, how are we going to get equipment?"

Wang Mingchen laughed, "Did you forget? In the Newbie Village, there are often some newbie tasks that don't require fighting, just running errands. You get money in the process. It's not much, but with so many of us, if we pool it together, we can still buy some good equipment from the blacksmith's shop."

Everyone suddenly realized!

"Yes, yes! This is a good idea!" Yue Wei shouted with joy.

Everyone thought this was a viable plan and thus began a rallying meeting...

All the players wanted to level up, break out of the Newbie Village, and they all despised the Rabbits. Now, hearing there was a chance to turn the tide, all six thousand raised their hands in approval!

The next moment, people started wandering around the Newbie Village. Soon, some small tasks were discovered. Six thousand people began lining up to do tasks, and the money earned was gathered by a few guild leaders for unified distribution.

However, almost all six thousand people died once, some even twice, losing one or two pieces of their equipment. The newbie equipment consisted of only four pieces in total: a shirt, pants, shoes, and a wooden knife.

Weapons were lost the least often, and pants the most. So, a very peculiar scene appeared in the Newbie Village: a bunch of people in small triangle shorts and long legs running around. Those who knew it was the Newbie Village for human players, those who didn't might think it was a relief distribution in a poverty-stricken area.

...

Over here, Yi Zheng, on tiptoe, saw everything clearly and guessed the players' intentions.

"Heh… trying to gather equipment? What kind of equipment can level 1 players wear? Even if you all wear equipment, Master Rabbit isn't afraid!" Yi Zheng laughed joyfully.

What he feared most was that the players would avoid fighting and hide in the Newbie Village, giving him no experience to gain.

Now that the players were moving, it meant they were still going to fight, no need to find ways to lure them out.

Of course, Yi Zheng wasn't idle either.

After two big battles, he discovered the Rabbits' biggest weakness was their low IQ!

Though better than those silly chickens jumping into rivers, it still wasn't enough.

So, Yi Zheng decided to give these Rabbits some extra lessons to improve their cultural knowledge, hoping that after ten days, their IQ could improve a bit.

He gathered a group of Rabbits under a big tree.

Yi Zheng hung a huge blackboard on the tree, then rode on a big Rabbit, using a piece of chalk as a pen, quickly writing "The Art of War by Sun Tzu"!

"Everyone, starting today, we are going to study 'The Art of War by Sun Tzu'! Do you know 'The Art of War by Sun Tzu'?" Yi Zheng asked.

The Rabbits stared blankly.

Yi Zheng quickly erased the four characters: "This might be too difficult. Let's start with some introductory education, hmm, let's begin with 'Analects'."

Yi Zheng had just written the two characters for Analects when he saw the Rabbits below already swaying, their eyelids heavier and heavier.

Yi Zheng grabbed a stone and threw it, making a Rabbit stagger.

Yi Zheng rapped the blackboard: "Look at me!"

The Rabbits tried to stay alert, staring at the blackboard.

Yi Zheng said, "These two characters are 'Analects'! Say it with me!"

"Analects!" the Rabbits tried to say.

Yi Zheng gave a thumbs-up: "Correct, it's 'Analects'! These are the life quotes summarized by the disciples of Elder Zi thousands of years ago."

The Rabbits seemed to understand but were confused.

Yi Zheng switched to teaching mode: "Repeat after me: 'To learn and then practice, isn't it a pleasure? To have friends come from afar, isn't it a joy? To remain unperturbed when others do not know you, isn't it a noble person?'"

The Rabbits shouted after him.

Then a Rabbit raised its hand: "Boss, what does it mean?"

Yi Zheng suddenly remembered that this ancient text was indeed hard to understand without translation.

Just as Yi Zheng was about to explain, a Rabbit suddenly stood up: "I know!"

Yi Zheng didn't expect there to be a smart Rabbit and encouraged it: "Explain it."

The Rabbit stood up, and when it did, Yi Zheng's eyes lit up. This Rabbit was 1.8 meters tall, the tallest among Rabbits, even bigger than the one under Yi Zheng. Its muscular physique made Yi Zheng drool, thinking, "Just need some cumin and chili powder!"

The Rabbit scratched its head and said, "Isn't it just saying that following the boss to fight, and practicing often is very satisfying?"

Although the Rabbit's explanation wasn't quite right, it seemed fitting here.

Importantly, Yi Zheng was satisfied that these silly Rabbits had this awareness.

Yi Zheng said, "Continue explaining."

Encouraged, the Rabbit's confidence grew: "The second line means that when fighting, one person isn't enough; you need to call brothers from afar to gang up, that's the fun!"

Yi Zheng rubbed his temples, silently praying, "Hopefully, Elder Zi's coffin lid is tightly sealed..."

However, Yi Zheng didn't argue, as he felt this explanation suited his team well.

Yi Zheng wanted a fierce and combative army, not little lambs, so he accepted it.

The other Rabbits, hearing this, their eyes shone as if hearing some profound wisdom, making an effort to remember it.

The Rabbit continued: "The last line is easier! When someone doesn't know our reputation, we don't get angry, not beating him up is already very noble!"

"Roar!"

The Rabbits got excited, applauding one after another.

Only Yi Zheng had black lines across his forehead, silently mumbling "out of the mouth of babes," and clapped along.

Though the explanation seemed off, morale was up, and the Rabbits were clearly more attentive to this interpretation.

"Elder Zi said to teach according to ability. I guess this counts as teaching according to ability…" Yi Zheng justified to himself.

Elder Zi probably never imagined that one day his "Analects" would be used on a group of Rabbits.

"Ding! The Rabbits absorbed new knowledge, slightly increasing their intelligence and battle intent."

Yi Zheng was momentarily stunned, then burst into laughter: "Oh, Elder Zi, you truly are an education genius! Just one 'Analects' and these Rabbits got enlightened, haha…"

Yi Zheng initially planned the lecture as a desperate measure, hoping it might improve their IQ slightly. He didn't actually expect it to work. His immediate goal was to make the Rabbits a bit more flexible in their thinking…

He never expected using "Analects" for teaching would be so simple, direct, and forceful!

He glanced at his own attributes, which didn't show intelligence or battle intent, so these were clearly hidden attributes, not displayed.

However, those dull Rabbits' eyes now had a bit of sparkle and spirit in them.
