Chapter 6 - Money Can Buy Happiness

"Awooo…"

After one miserable howl, the Wolf's Health was finally exhausted by Jan's continuous attack, and it fell to the ground.

[Congratulations! You have successfully killed a Wolf.]

[Because you have killed a monster above your level, you receive bonus EXP! You have received 600 EXP!]

[Your racial class has levelled up to Fallen 2/10]

After distributing his attribute points, Jan bent down and picked up the coins dropped by the slain Wolf.

10 gold coins!

Jan smiled, shrugged, put the 10 messily coins in his bag, and continued walking, in search of his next prey.

-----------------------------

After defeating a Wolf for EXP, it became easier to kill. Just by relying on his own speed, response time, and avoid getting surrounded, defeating one Wolf was child's play!

Approximately five hours had gone by since he entered the Wolves' area, he had levelled up seven times.

After picking the coins and a bottle of small health potion on the floor, Jan sat down on the grass. Since he had been fighting continuously, it took a toll on his stamina and he had gotten tired.

Taking a look around the green plain, there was not a single soul. The degree of realism of 'Yggdrasil' was really done well. When a slight wind blew by, Jan not only experienced the refreshing breeze but he also clearly saw the swaying of green grass.

As he got up, he glanced about his surroundings. The area of Wolves has been more or less cleared out by him. During his battle with the Wolves, he grasped the general idea of the virtual world, adapted to it, and his awareness of his virtual body became better and better. When he was level 1, he could already kill a level 5 Wolf, and at level 6, having gained battle experience, Jan naturally walked deeper into the area to find a stronger and more challenging prey.

Taking a look at his attribute points, and adding points to them, every attribute points had risen. Right now, the ones who were suffering were the Wolves, so he ended his abuse.

Opening his backpack, Jan first inspected the amount of money he had received: 420 gold coins. He was very happy about this since after hunting for 6 hours, the normal Wolves only gave him around 5-10 coins.

He didn't think killing one Saber Wolf, which was a mini-boss in this area, would give 50 gold coins. Not only that, but this mini-boss had actually dropped two pieces of equipment for Jan, and it was the real reward earned at the end of the day.

[Wolf Fang Sword

Low

Damage 8-15

Level Req 5

Durability 13/20

Passive Effect: Lacerate — Probability of inflicting a continuous bleeding status on your opponent.]

Grey Wolf Boots

Low rank

P.Defence +3

Speed +1

Level Req 3

Durability 8/10]

Items and armaments in YGGDRASIL were classified according to their data size. The greater the data, the higher the grade of the Item. Starting from the bottom, the classes were: Low, Medium, High, Top Class, Legacy, Relic, Legendary, Divine.

But even though the items Jan gain were of the lowest class, these two pieces of equipment still made him ecstatic!

While his Novice Wooden Sword can still deal damage, the reality is, that it was still only a beginner weapon.

In addition, apart from obtaining the [Wolf Fang Sword], the Saber Wolf also generously gifted him a pair of [Grey Wolf Boots], which added three points to his defence; it was pretty good. However, it was the other added stat points that made Jan incredibly happy. Since he originally relied on his own speed, if he had more stats in Speed, he will have even more confidence when hunting monsters.

Changing, he put the Novice Wooden Sword and sandals inside his backpack and Happily equipped the Sword and boots, suddenly, his attack, defence, and speed increased.

Instead of discarding his novice items, Jan decided to keep them, in case the durability runs out on the wolf gear. Since every player had fifty inventory spaces, facing the current situation, this was more than enough, and he couldn't possibly get into a situation where 50 spaces were not enough.

After sorting his backpack, Looking up at the slightly inclined hill, Jan thought to himself and proceeded to move forward. His body's current condition would not allow him to defeat another Saber wolf, however, after obtaining new equipment, he wanted to try it out. In worse case scenario, if he saw another Elite monster like the saber wolf, then he would just run away and use Shadow clones as distractions.

Walking forward, it wasn't too long until Jan saw a Wolf slowly wagging its tail, walking in a laid-back fashion. Walking in front of it to confirm, Jan let out a sigh. It was only a normal Wolf!

Touching his Wolf Fang Sword, Jan smiled a little and charged straight at it. Even before Jan was newly equipped, he could completely annihilate the Wolf. Now, with the Wolf Fang Sword and wolf Boots, the outcome did not need to be mentioned. Two hits to the vitals and one critical hit, the wolf could not even utter a sound before it was KO'd!

---------

Walking up the hill, Jan relentlessly hunted for half an hour, and experience bar jumped to 99%!

Unknowingly, he arrived at the top of the hill. Jan glanced at his surroundings. Nevermind the Saber wolves Wolves, even a speck of the normal wolves could not be found. Jan became helpless.

'Fuck me. I'm at 99%, but there's nothing left for me to hunt!!'

Just when Jan was about to turn around and head back to the village, he caught a glimpse of something up ahead. Stunned, he realized there was a mountain on the edge of the hill, and at the bottom of the mountain, there was a forest that was neither too thick nor too thin.

Driven by his curiosity, Jan gritted his teeth and prepared to move forward.

Holding onto his Wolf Fang Sword tightly, Jan carefully and slowly advanced forward, with his eyes glancing in all four directions. Even if the grass moved slightly, he would react to it. He nervously walked forwards for five minutes. Passing through a small jungle, Jan walked past a large rock, and suddenly, he hurriedly hid behind it.

"Gulp…"

Bitterly swallowing his mouthful of saliva, Jan slowly and quietly raised his head from behind the large rock and looked around.

In the open space at the bottom of the hill, there rested a powerful looking and extremely large wolf.

"A boss!?"

When Jan was 5 meters away from it, it opened its eyes from its slumber. Its pair of bloodshot eyes stared directly at Jan. With its strong legs supporting its body, it got up and looked at the prey who dared to enter its territory. Its disgusting saliva was leaking out of its large mouth.

"Awooooo!"

Staring blankly at the giant wolf which looked as big as a bull and even has hunch, created an absurd amount of muscle in his front limbs, Jan was ruthlessly cursing the game developer.

'What the hell? It's just a freaking wolf. Even if it's a boss, did you have to make it so big? A Why dont you call it Black Terry Cloth (Big wolf from toriko) instead!? Fuck you! With this degree of virtual reality, do you know how scary it is? Even if it's a boss, you should not have designed like this, alright? Just by looking at its face, most players would probably lose their fighting spirit!'

Black Hunchback Wolf King

Level 8

Health 300

Mana 30

Attack 15

Defence 10

Skills

[Passive Skill] Bloodbath: Each attack will absorb a certain amount of HP. There will also be a certain chance of causing a Bleeding Effect on the target.

[Active Skill] Ferocious Charge: Ferociously attacks the target once, dealing 150% damage.

After looking at the Black Hunchback Wolf King's stats, Jan was stunned. He had regretted using observe because of the information of the monstrosity in front of him. It really was true, in this world, there were a few things that should've been kept hidden.

There are times when, if you know too much, there will be a reverse effect. When facing multiple enemies, because you know of the overwhelming strength of your enemies, you apply unnecessary pressure on yourself. You would become overly-cautious, and tell yourself that you would not be able to overcome them. When you lose morale before the fight, you have already lost half the battle!

Putting its 300 HP aside, its attack, defence, and skills were disgustingly high. With Jan's current defence, he could probably survive through a single attack. However, if the [Bloodbath] triggers, he would definitely die.

'What should I do?'

Jan gritted his teeth and stared intently at the strong-looking Black Hunchback Wolf King. His mind was starting to spin

After taking a deep breath, Jan wielded his Wolf Fang Sword and prepared his battle stance.

Seeing Jan's action, the Black Hunchback Wolf King narrowed its eyes, applied strength on its feet, and rushed towards him at an incredible speed.

'So fast!'

"4th sword style Gofuu Juuu! (May Wind, October Rain)"

Gritting his teeth. Jan synchronizes with his opponent's breathing to evade attacks, and

managed to continuously dodge the Wolf King's attacks by a hair's breadth. However, the damn beast was not going to be as easy as the Saber Wolves. Putting its strength and speed aside, the most important factor was its level of AI, which was definitely higher than the Saber Wolves.

"7 sword style Shibuki Ame (Splashing Rain)"

As the Wolf King turned its back, Jan holds the sword backwards and spins to create a whirlwind like shield to block the Wolf King's claw perfectly. A sound similar to that of metal collision rang throughout the field, and Jan has pushed back a few meters away.

Without giving Jan a chance to recover from his numbed hands, the Wolf King immediately continued its assault.

'What the hell, you keep coming again and again. Do you really think I can't do anything to you?'

Seeing how the Wolf King was being overly cocky, Jan was absolutely Livid. He could not win against it in a direct confrontation. His speed and strength were also incomparable to that of the Wolf King's. His circling techniques were also proved ineffective. However, from its earlier assaults, he could finally see the Wolf King's attack patterns.

Just like a regular Wolf, it only kept coming directly at him. It was completely inflexible. If he could grasp hold of its weakness and wait for the right timing, he could definitely kill it. The only thing he had to be wary about, was the incredible speed of its straight rush. If he does not pay attention, he might receive serious damage or even die instantly. In addition, there was also its Brutal Blow skill. When hit by the skill, he would lose at least half of his HP, and he had about an 80% chance of getting killed instantly!

'Damn it, I don't care anymore! I'm going to teach this wolf a lesson!'

Clenching his teeth, he looked at the Wolf King that was rushing towards him again. Jan raised his Sword.

1st sword style Shajiku no Ame (Axle of Rain)

When it was about half a meter away from him, he bent his body and dodged its aggressive assault. At the same exact moment, charges forward and attack the wolf with a thrust.

Although he was not accurate enough to pierce through its throat, he was able to cut across its neck. Not only that, as the Wolf King was running at an incredible speed, when he moved with the Sword stabbed into it, it made a cut across its body and dealt considerable damage.

-15

Looking at the boss with 280 HP remaining, Jan narrowed his eyes. Even with a critical blow, it still only dealt 15 damage to the Wolf King. Jan cursed. Its hide was thicker than the first thought. However!

"With this father's limitless potion at hand, I will remain standing! You were unlucky to mess with a Pay to win gamer like me today wolf king"

Jan had grasped the Wolf King's openings whenever it attacks, and with his speed and knowledge, as long as there were no incidents, he should be able to slowly kill the arrogant Black Hunchback Wolf King.

---------------------------------------------------------------

"Ugh…"

Jan was unable to dodge in time and got ruthlessly slashed across on his chest. The severe pain caused him to let out a groan.

Using shadow clones to speedily gnaw on the bosses health, While pulling out HP potions whenever he gets hit, Jan has steady brought the bosses monster like health down.

"Asshole, you have finally used your [Ferocious Charge] Watch how I'm going to deal with you now!"

"2nd sword style Sakamaku Ame (Rolling Rain)"

Smiling coldly, with [Sakamaku Ame] Jan became a blur by obscuring his body with a wall of water, while he was hidden behind the curtain of water, he circled around the Wolf King to deliver an immense blow and was able to finish it off before the effect duration was over.

Looking at the corpse of the Black Hunchback Wolf King, Jan finally managed to calm down and sat flat on the ground. Ignoring the Level Up golden glow emitting from his body, he started inspecting the loots on the floor. Looking around, he saw something that exhilarated him. It was a Skill Book!

[Your racial class has levelled up to Fallen 10 and has evolved to Arch Fallen]
