In the world of "Destiny", to spare the sensibilities of numerous players, the bloody effects caused during attacks are completely suppressed, and there will be no scenes of decapitation or dismemberment that are unbearable for people. Having evaded the attacks of three wolves, Alex's counterattack came in an instant. After thrusting twice into the second wild wolf's body, they finally turned around from their disarray and lunged back. This time, the three wild wolves almost simultaneously tore towards his body. Alex narrowed his eyes, and at the fastest speed, he dashed forward, narrowly slipping through the gap between two wolves. During his movement, he managed to strike the second wolf with his sword again. As always, his targets for attack were the second wolf.
-13, -15, MISS.
After enduring five consecutive attacks, the second wild wolf's health gauge had emptied nearly one-third. It felt pain and let out a howl, turning around to bite again. But that figure seemed to predict their movements once again. With a slight crouch, a kick from his right foot against the ground, he maintained an extremely low posture and slid nearly two meters forward. In a swift turn, he struck with his sword twice again.
If there were other players here at this moment, they would undoubtedly be stunned. A level 0 player with all novice equipment was actually independently battling three level 5 monsters. Yet, after he attacked more than a dozen times, the three agile monsters hadn't even touched him.
Moreover, he hadn't even used any skills.
Even a level 0 player typically possessed a novice skill corresponding to their novice profession. However, Alex was the only exception in the entire world. He had no skills, no profession, and could only slash, chop, and stab with his unremarkable novice sword.
Alex's body moved like a flickering shadow among the attacks of the three wild wolves. The swinging novice sword occasionally elicited howls from the wolves. In less than half a minute, with a feeble wolf howl, the wolf designated by Alex as his sole target finally fell, exploding into a dim light, resembling a coin-like thing.
Two left. Alex's tense nerves relaxed slightly, shifting from passive to active. He rushed forward directly, aiming for a throat slash. If this were the real world, his sword would undoubtedly have lifted a bloody wolf's head into the air.
-12, -12, -14, -13, -12...
Even a martial arts master could defeat a mediocre opponent with just a tree branch. Alex's extraordinary reaction speed and perception were fully demonstrated at this moment, which was also one of his greatest assets in traversing the gaming world. Under the unadorned novice sword, another wolf quickly fell amidst their cries. Alex wore a proud smile, calmly finishing off the last remaining wolf...
-15, -14...
At the moment when the health gauge of the last wild wolf was depleted, Alex's movements paused for a moment, allowing the wolf claws to strike him.
-21!
A slight pain emanated from where the wolf claws had scratched him. Alex glanced at the damage on his head and casually dispatched the wolf with a sword.
With all three wild wolves defeated, Alex breathed a sigh of relief. His gaze swept the ground. Besides the coin-like object dropped by the first wolf he killed, there were no wolf eyes, not even a single strand of wolf fur. His luck as a level 0 player caused all the drop rates from the slain monsters under his hand to be at the lowest value.
Alex squatted down to pick up the coin, looking at the inscription on it silently. Risking his life to kill three level 5 monsters, he actually only received a copper coin... Converted into real currency, it was only worth one cent.
[Destiny World, 1 gold coin = 10 silver coins = 100 copper coins. According to official propaganda, after the currency exchange is opened, 1 gold coin = 1 Huaxia coin.]
After putting this first income from the Destiny World into his backpack, Alex fiddled with the bodies of the wild wolves for a while, then suddenly slapped his forehead... To gather items from a monster's body, one needed "Gathering Skills", and he had actually forgotten about it.
Based on past experience, these basic life skills could generally be learned from the village chief in the novice village.
Alex stood up, just about to consider whether to return to the novice village first, when the familiar touch on his chest made him momentarily dumbfounded. He tentatively reached towards his neck, and there, he felt a familiar thin thread.
This is...
He tugged at the thin thread, and suddenly, the black accessory he wore every day, never parting from his body even when sleeping, was pulled out from the novice clothes. Holding it in his hand, Alex looked at this accessory embedded with seven different-shaped holes, emitting a strange black light, with a complex and stunned expression in his eyes.
This was the only thing she left me... Why would it appear here!? This place is the Destiny World, isn't it?
With the obstruction of the novice clothes earlier, he hadn't noticed anything. However, when he stood up from his crouched position, the accessory that had drooped down suddenly stuck to his chest. The slightly cold touch finally made him aware of something amiss. The item in his hand was exactly the same as in the real world, even the holes and shapes, and the faint seven-colored dark light unique to it were no different.
What's going on!? Why would real-world items appear here?
This was completely contrary to common sense!
While he was in a daze, the black accessory he held suddenly flashed with a momentary white light. The abrupt brilliance was somewhat intense, flashing into Alex's eyes. When his gaze returned, the white light gradually separated from it, slowly floating into the air in front of Alex like a small white sun.
"Oh la la... Yee-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha! I'm finally free, finally free, oh la la la la!"
Alex would never forget this sweet and euphonious, yet wildly exuberant voice that made people want to cover their ears. Because the owner of this voice had entangled him for a lifetime, making him love, helpless, headache-inducing, and even wishing to spank her.
As the white light dimmed and dissipated, a delicate figure appeared in front of Alex. She was a young girl with pitch-black hair, eyes like stars, and pure white skin and dress... Indeed, she was a "little" girl, not only did she look no more than twelve or thirteen years old at most, even her body was only about thirty centimeters in height.
Alex widened his eyes, wearing an expression as if he had seen a ghost. Anyone who saw such a small girl accompanied by such a rampant voice would undoubtedly have one of two reactions—either dumbfounded, or wondering if they were still dreaming and hadn't woken up yet.
