This attribute is quite fierce. The monsters in the newbie village pose no threat to me now. It's just a pity that I can't level up my talents. I need to quickly reach level 10 and go to the main city.
First, let's go back and store the skills and weapons. Every player in the game has an exclusive warehouse where they can store items they don't currently need. It has a hundred slots, which can be expanded for a fee. All cities are interconnected, so items stored in the newbie village can also be retrieved in the main city. You don't have to worry about items stored in the warehouse being lost.
While at it, I'll turn in the completed quests for the boar and frog. I'll skip the quests that require temporary monster hunting. I'm not short on copper coins anymore.
Wu Shaochen was in a great mood as he quickly returned to the newbie village. He found the warehouse manager and stored the skill books and weapons. Then he located the farmer and turned in the boar quest, receiving 500 experience and 200 copper coins.
Afterward, he found the village elder and turned in 50 frog saliva, gaining 800 experience and 300 copper coins. With these two quests, he obtained a total of 1300 experience and 500 copper coins. Honestly, doing quests does level up faster, but unfortunately, each quest can only be done once.
He went to the pharmacy and reluctantly spent 10 silver coins to buy 20 bottles of red potions (medium): restores 50 HP per second for 10 seconds. 50 copper coins per bottle, as expensive as ever.
After buying the potions, Wu Shaochen was about to go out and fight silver wolves when he saw a woman approaching him. She wore a white veil, concealing her face, but her figure and aura were perfect.
"Wow, she's definitely a goddess. Even without seeing her face, her aura alone surpasses those attractive streamers," Wu Shaochen thought to himself.
The woman stood in front of him but seemed hesitant to speak for a moment. After a brief pause, she said, "Hello, can we be friends?"
"Oh, is my lucky streak coming? A goddess-level person is already actively adding me as a friend?" Wu Shaochen wondered, blinking his eyes. He looked at himself, realizing that he had removed his equipment and switched back to newbie gear. While he looked decent, he didn't think he would captivate someone of this caliber.
"Miss, what caught your interest in me?" Wu Shaochen asked, puzzled.
"Huh?" Su Muxue was taken aback for a moment, then quickly realized that she had come across as abrupt. Although she had her suspicions, she couldn't directly ask, so she thought of adding him as a friend. That way, she could see his name and level. However, she had never initiated a conversation with a stranger before, so she didn't know how to start.
"Don't misunderstand, I simply want to be friends with you," Su Muxue calmly explained.
"There must be something fishy," Wu Shaochen thought to himself. He had never been approached by a girl, let alone one of this level of beauty. In real life, she probably wouldn't even spare him a glance.
"This is definitely a beauty trap. My good days have just begun, I can't be swayed by beauty," Wu Shaochen thought to himself. He then directly said to Su Muxue, "I'm pressed for time with important tasks. I need to go out and fight monsters. We can talk next time."
After speaking, he bypassed Su Muxue and quickly ran towards the village exit.
"I got rejected?" Su Muxue blinked her eyes, unable to believe it. Being rejected by someone for the first time after actively adding a male friend, given her appearance and status, was a major blow for Su Muxue.
She turned to look at Wu Shaochen's departing figure and her gaze sharpened. "So fast!" Suddenly, she shouted towards Wu Shaochen, "Dust Sealed!"
"Who called me?" Wu Shaochen paused for a moment, then realized what was happening and quickly ran away. "Damn, this woman is deceiving me."
After running out of the village, Wu Shaochen was still filled with doubts. "How did she suspect me? The only two times I've returned to the newbie village, I've removed my equipment. I shouldn't have revealed any flaws. Could it be a woman's sixth sense? Damn, women are truly terrifying creatures. If I can't handle it, I'll just avoid them."
Watching Wu Shaochen disappear from sight, Su Muxue confirmed, "It's definitely you!"
At that moment, a figure suddenly appeared behind Su Muxue. Clearly, he had just logged in. He walked up to Su Muxue and said, "Miss, the master has agreed to my suggestion. We are preparing to transfer the majority of our assets to the Oracle. The master will soon arrange for a large number of elite gamers to enter the game. The master wants us to not be afraid to spend money in the early stages and ensure we stay ahead of others so that we can seize more development opportunities later on."
"Okay, keep an eye on the auction house, especially for Dust Sealed's equipment. We must snatch it up as soon as possible," Su Muxue said.
"Dust Sealed? The person who killed the Boar King first? Miss, do you suspect that person is the one selling high attribute equipment in our newbie village?" Liu Shu asked.
"It's not just a suspicion, it's a certainty! And perhaps I already know who that person is!" Su Muxue said confidently.
"Really? If that's the case, Miss, do you have any way to bring him to our side? Having such an expert with us would be incomparable for the development of our enterprise," Liu Shu said excitedly. She didn't ask how Miss knew, knowing Miss's character, she must be certain before speaking like this.
"I'll do my best," Su Muxue thought, feeling annoyed about being rejected. Despite her usual self-confidence, she had no assurance at this moment.
Wu Shaochen went straight to the Silver Wolf Valley. The level 10 Silver Wolves used to be an insurmountable obstacle for him, but now he could handle them effortlessly.
He directly attacked a Silver Wolf, using two strokes to apply the poison. He couldn't waste the opportunity to stack two layers of poison, which dealt 46 points of damage per second. It took just over two minutes to defeat a 6,000 HP Silver Wolf. As for taking two hits, it only amounted to 200 points of damage, which was easily healed by his natural health regeneration of 6 HP per second.
Then Wu Shaochen activated the unlimited monster grinding mode. Once he decided to focus on leveling up, his speed was quite impressive. It took him two hours to reach level 8, including the time spent luring monsters. His HP reached 640, and his MP reached 130. The other stats remained the same for now, as he would decide which attributes to increase based on the next monster's stats. He wasn't lacking in attributes anyway.
However, he didn't know if it was because of the Boar King drops, but in addition to the guaranteed 5 copper coins and a wolf's tooth, he only obtained one piece of equipment after killing over fifty Silver Wolves in two hours. And it happened to be a bracelet that he didn't need.
[Silver Wolf Bracelet]
Quality: Common
Attack +8
Attack Speed +3%
Requirements: None
To be honest, he disliked the stats on this equipment. He didn't know if others felt the same, but wearing two pieces of Dark Iron-level equipment, Wu Shaochen was more selective and no longer interested in these common items. He quickly listed it on the auction house, opting for the bidding mode and letting others offer whatever price they wanted.
Meanwhile, in the Wild Boar Forest, Junlin and his group finally encountered some equipment after defeating another boar. They picked it up and confirmed that it was the most commonly auctioned boar equipment.
"It seems like the equipment really does drop from the boars. But I still can't figure out how he managed to kill boars while we were still struggling with goats. Even now, at level 5 and fully equipped, it's still quite challenging," Haoran said.
"Who knows, but at least we're catching up now. With our strength, we can slowly close the gap," Nanfeng said.
"We're still far from catching up. Check the auction house," Junlin said softly.
"Huh?" Both of them quickly opened the auction house.
"Damn, a [Silver Wolf Bracelet]? Was this dropped by the level 10 Silver Wolf?" Haoran exclaimed in surprise.
"Be confident, remove the 'was this dropped by' part. If he really killed the Boar King, then killing a level 10 Silver Wolf must be a piece of cake for him," Nanfeng said.
"He's a freak!"
