Just as he was at his wits' end, Lin Shuang happened to touch the bottle of Worry-free Powder that Lin Youchun had given him.
That's right! Lin Shuang instantly felt enlightened. Wasn't this Worry-free Powder used to induce love? It could be used for these two puppies.
At the thought of this, Lin Shuang immediately took out the bottle of Worry-free Powder and said to the little boy, "Little kid, I have an idea. You can feed this bottle of medicine to your dogs and see if it works."
"This is?" The little boy took the medicine bottle from Lin Shuang's hand curiously and raised it to study it carefully.
"Ah!" The boy exclaimed. "Isn't this Uncle Wang Youchun's medicine? It's the Worry-free Powder!"
Lin Shuang asked in surprise, "You know this medicine too? This is an aprod…"
"Of course I know. Wang Youchun's medicine is very famous in our Luhua Village! It's just that he usually values this medicine more than anything else. Ordinary people can't buy it at all!"
"…Alright."
Lin Shuang was a little speechless, but on second thought, that Wang Youchun was quite generous. He actually gave him such a valuable bottle of medicine, although it was useless to him.
"With this medicine, Little Bai and Little Huang will know how to fight!"
The little boy held the medicine and was overjoyed. He carried the two little dogs over and fed them the medicine one by one. As expected, not long after, the two little dogs suddenly became agitated and rubbed their claws on the ground. Then, the puppy called Little Huang barked and pounced on the puppy called Little Bai.
Then, there were some indescribable scenes.
"That's great. There will be puppies soon. You two have to work hard. Otherwise, you'll be broken up." The little boy shouted excitedly, his face flushed red. He excitedly grabbed Lin Shuang's big hand and said happily, "Adventurer Brother, you're amazing! Thank you so much. When the puppy is born, I'll definitely give you one."
"System notification: Congratulations, you have completed the mission: Little Boy's Help. You have received the mission reward: Experience: 100, 20 copper coins."
A golden light flashed. He had leveled up. Now, he has reached Level 2.
Lin Shuang couldn't help but sigh. This luck was really linked. All of it was for free. It felt too good!
At this moment, the little boy suddenly said, "Adventurer Brother, it will take a long time for the puppy to be born. How about this? I'll give you other gifts first. When the puppy is born in the future, I'll give you the puppy. How about that?"
There were gifts to give? Lin Shuang no longer had the strength to sigh. This luck was heaven-defying!
"Let's go, I'll bring you to my treasure trove!" The little boy said mysteriously and pulled Lin Shuang out of the village.
Of course, Lin Shuang had no reason to refuse. He followed the little boy out of the village.
At this moment, the battle outside the village was in full swing. Countless players wearing simple clothes and holding wooden clubs were fighting with slimes. They had already gone crazy from killing.
"Adventurer Brother, over here. Be careful not to be seen."
At some point, the little boy had a shovel in his hand. He pulled Lin Shuang straight to the back of the mountain and entered a dense forest.
The little boy walked to a small mound with ease and began to dig with a shovel.
"Your treasures are all buried in the ground?" Lin Shuang asked carefully.
"Of course, this is my secret stronghold! No one in the village knows!" The boy said smugly as he wiped the sweat off his forehead with his sleeve.
This is too well hidden, Lin Shuang thought to himself. At the same time, he did not have much expectations. After all, he was only a few years old. What good things could he have?
The small mound was gradually dug open, revealing a wooden box.
The boy pulled the wooden box out of the soil and patted the soil off it. When the box was opened, Lin Shuang was instantly shocked speechless by the dazzling array of things inside.
All kinds of equipment filled the entire box. There were helmets, sabers, armor, long swords, everything!
"These… these are all yours?" Lin Shuang asked in surprise. It was difficult for him to imagine how a small child could obtain these things. These equipment were not ordinary judging from the colors. Any one of them could make players fight for it.
"Of course! These are all toys my father brought back for me from outside!" The little boy stood at the side with a shovel. He was very happy to see Lin Shuang's shocked expression and said proudly.
"Uh… little kid, does your father lack sons…"
"What?"
"No-nothing!"
Lin Shuang waved his hand repeatedly and dispelled the ridiculous thought that had just arisen in his mind.
"Adventurer Brother, you've helped me a lot. I can let you take any one of them inside. They're all good things!" The little boy said generously.
"Okay… okay…"
Lin Shuang stared at the various top-grade props in the wooden box and felt his eyes go blurry. Which one should he choose?
Suddenly, his gaze stopped on a dark and ancient longsword. Although there was nothing special about this sword and its luster was a little dim, Lin Shuang could feel an ancient aura from it. He vaguely felt that this longsword was not ordinary.
Coincidentally, his profession was also a warrior, and he lacked a suitable weapon.
"This longsword it is."
Lin Shuang picked up the longsword and weighed it in his hand. When he felt that the weight was just right, he decided to choose this longsword.
"Positive?" The boy blinked and asked him.
"Positive."
"Okay, then take it." The little boy spoke readily.
"System notification: You have received the mission bonus reward: Little Boy's Gift. Reward: Black Stone Longsword."
Blackstone Longsword
Grade: Purple
Attack: 50
Power: 10
Additional Effect: Attack has a 10% splattering effect.
Introduction: A weapon brought back by the little boy's mysterious father from outside. The precious treasure became a toy in the little boy's mouth.
This Black Stone Longsword was too heaven-defying. Lin Shuang looked at the 50 points of attack bonus and almost drooled. One had to know that the novice monsters at the village entrance only had about 100 points of health. If he equipped this Black Stone Longsword, wouldn't that mean that he could kill one with two strikes?
While the other players were still fighting a slime, Lin Shuang was killing them one by one in the monster pile.
That scene was really unimaginable!
Moreover, the longsword had a 10% splattering damage. It was simply a weapon made for group fights.
It had to be known that the equipment that dropped in the early stages was basically mainly White equipment, and White equipment had no additional effects. Only those above the Green level could occasionally get one or two equipment with effects.
An additional effect like the Black Stone Sword that had a 10% splattering effect was extremely rare even among Purple equipment.
He had made a killing, hahaha!
Lin Shuang happily equipped the long sword. When he looked at the attributes again, there was a tremendous change.
The Returnee
Occupation: Sha Bo the Asura (Hidden)
Level: 2
Health: 270
Attack: 70
Defense: 20
Talent: Lucky Halo
...
His attack had reached a terrifying 70 points, and his defense was also extremely high. This attribute should belong to a Boss in the entire novice village.
"Adventurer Brother, are you alright?" The little boy tilted his head and looked at Lin Shuang.
"It's fine, it's fine. I'm fine." Lin Shuang stopped smiling and said, "Little kid, I like your gift very much!"
"That's great!"
The little boy grinned and prepared to bury the wooden box again.
"Wait!"
"What's wrong, Adventurer Brother?"
"Little kid, why are you burying these things here? Why don't you put them at home?" Lin Shuang asked in confusion.
The little boy scratched his head and said, "Mommy doesn't like these things. When she sees them, she'll scold me and Daddy."
"What does your father do?" Lin Shuang asked curiously. To be able to use these top-grade equipment as toys for his son, he couldn't imagine what kind of person this little boy's father was.
"My father is a very, very powerful person!" The little boy puffed up his chest proudly, then lowered his head in disappointment. "But I don't know what he's doing exactly… He's often outside. He's gone for more than half a year and will leave again not long after he comes back. I can only see him a few times a year…
"Mom often quarreled with Dad. Whenever they quarreled, Dad would keep quiet and let Mom scold him without talking back."
The little boy's voice became softer and softer. Towards the end, tears flashed across his eyes.
Lin Shuang instantly felt that this little boy was quite pitiful. He comforted him. "It's fine. Your mother actually loves your father very much. Otherwise, she wouldn't have quarreled with him."
"Really?" The boy wiped his tears and asked him.
"Of course. If your mother didn't love your father, why would she still wait for your father with you?"
Lin Shuang stroked the little boy's hair and smiled.
"Really? That's good!"
The little boy immediately smiled through his tears. He picked up the shovel again and prepared to bury the box.
Lin Shuang said, "Little kid, many outsiders have come to the village recently. It's not safe for you to hide these things here. You can build a new secret base from your courtyard or attic. That way, you won't have to go so far every time you want to take it."
"That's right!" The little boy patted his head and gave Lin Shuang a thumbs up. He praised, "Adventurer Brother, you're really capable and smart!"
