This attribute is really strong now; even the monsters in the newbie village pose no threat to me anymore. It's a pity I can't grind talents anymore; I need to quickly level up to 10 and head to the main city.
First, let's go back and store the skills and weapons. Every player in the game has an exclusive warehouse managed by the warehouse keeper, where temporary items can be stored. It has a hundred slots, and you can expand it with money. All cities are interconnected, so items stored in the newbie village can also be retrieved in the main city without worry of them exploding.
I'll also turn in the ready-made tasks for wild boars and toads while I'm at it. I'll skip those temporary monster hunting tasks for now; I'm not short on copper coins anymore.
Wu Shaochen was in an extremely good mood. He quickly returned to the newbie village with light steps, stored the skill books and weapons with the warehouse keeper, then found the farmer to submit the wild boar task, gaining 500 experience and 200 copper coins.
Next, he found the old healer in the village and submitted 50 toad saliva, gaining 800 experience and 300 copper coins. Both tasks earned him a total of 1300 experience and 500 copper coins. To be honest, doing tasks does help level up faster, but unfortunately, each task can only be done once.
After buying 20 bottles of medium red potions from the pharmacy for 10 silver coins each (restores 50 HP per second for 10 seconds), spending 50 copper coins per bottle, same as always.
After buying the potions, Wu Shaochen was about to go out to hunt silver wolves when he saw a woman with a white veil approaching him.
"This woman has a good temperament, too bad I can't see her face," Wu Shaochen thought to himself.
The woman walked straight up to Wu Shaochen and tentatively asked, "Are you Dust Sealed?"
Wu Shaochen was stunned. How did she find out about me? Is she deliberately trying to trick me?
Although surprised, Wu Shaochen didn't show it. He calmly replied, "Miss, you've got the wrong person."
Su Muxue looked seriously at the man in front of her, trying to read something from his face, but he remained calm and showed no sign of anything unusual.
"Could I be wrong?" Su Muxue wondered silently, then apologized, "I'm sorry, perhaps I mistook you for someone else."
"Um, if there's nothing else, I'll be on my way." After saying this, Wu Shaochen bypassed the woman and walked ahead.
"Hey, wait." Su Muxue hurriedly said, "Can we add each other as friends?"
Regardless of whether he is Dust Sealed or not, this person should be a strong player. For her who wants to develop in the game, it's definitely an opportunity to make friends.
Such a beautiful woman wanted to add him as a friend. Wu Shaochen was almost about to agree, but then he suddenly remembered that once they become friends, she would be able to see his information directly. Wouldn't that mean she'd know I am Dust Sealed?
"Forget it, women only slow down my drawing speed," Wu Shaochen thought to himself, then waved his hand and said, "Let's not add each other as friends. If we happen to meet again next time, we can discuss it then." Then he left directly.
"Uh." Su Muxue looked puzzled. Did he just leave like that?
She secretly sent a friend request, but received a prompt: "The other party has set restrictions on adding friends to strangers."
Su Muxue frowned slightly at the prompt, which was similar to when she entered the Dust Sealed ID to add a friend.
"A coincidence? Or do experts all like setting things this way?" Su Muxue wondered silently.
She glanced towards Wu Shaochen's departing figure and her eyes narrowed. "His speed...!"
As Wu Shaochen ran out of the village, he was still full of doubts. "How did she suspect me? Both times I returned to the newbie village, I had already unequipped my gear. I shouldn't have revealed any flaws."
At that moment, a figure suddenly appeared behind Su Muxue. Obviously just logged in, the person walked up to Su Muxue and said, "Miss, the master has agreed to my suggestion. We're preparing to develop in the Oracle, and soon the master will arrange for a large number of elite players to enter the game. The master has instructed us not to hesitate to spend money early on; we must stay ahead of others to seize more development opportunities later."
"Yes, pay attention to the auction house, especially Dust Sealed's equipment. We must snatch it up first." Su Muxue replied.
"Dust Sealed? Is that the person who killed the Wild Boar King first? Miss, are you suspecting that person to be the one selling high attribute equipment in our newbie village?" Liu Shu asked.
"It's likely. No other newbie village has anyone selling high-level equipment yet. If someone can kill the Wild Boar King, it's very likely to be our village's seller. And I might have an idea of who this person is." Su Muxue said.
"Really? If that's the case, Miss, do you have any way to bring him over to our side? If we have such a master on our side, the benefits for our business development would be unparalleled." Liu Shu said excitedly.
"I'll do my best." Su Muxue whispered softly, although she wasn't confident at all.
Wu Shaochen went straight to the Silver Wolf Valley. Previously, the level 10 Silver Wolves were insurmountable to him, but now they posed no pressure at all.
He quickly dispatched a Silver Wolf, applying two layers of poison. It couldn't be wasted now; two layers of poison amounted to 46 health points per second. A 6000 health Silver Wolf would be dealt with in just over two minutes. As for enduring two rounds of damage, it was only 200 points. With his current health regeneration of 6 points per second out of combat, 200 points of damage were nothing.
Then Wu Shaochen entered an endless grind mode. Once he decided to level up earnestly, his speed was quite fast. It took him two hours, including drawing aggro, to reach level 8. His health reached 640, and his mana was at 130. Other stats remained unchanged for now; he decided to wait and see the attributes of the next monsters he planned to fight before adding points selectively. He wasn't concerned about these few points of attributes.
It seemed that maybe he had gotten too much loot from killing the Wild Boar King. In the two hours of hunting more than fifty Silver Wolves, he only dropped one piece of equipment that he didn't need.
[Silver Wolf Bracelet]
Quality: Common
Attack +10
Attack Speed +1%
Requirements: None
To be honest, Wu Shaochen really despised these attributes, though he wasn't sure if others felt the same. Dressed in two pieces of Black Iron-level equipment, he began to pick and choose, no longer interested in these Common-grade items. He casually listed them on the auction house in bidding mode, letting others bid as they pleased. Whatever price they fetched was fine with him.
Meanwhile, in the Wild Boar Forest, Jun Lin and his companions brought down another wild boar and finally saw some equipment drop. They picked it up and confirmed it was indeed one of the most commonly listed wild boar equipment on the auction house.
"It looks like those equipments are indeed dropped from the Wild Boar King. But I still can't understand how he managed to kill the wild boar while we were still struggling with goats. Even now that we're all at level 5 and have full equipment, it's still quite challenging," said Haoran.
"Who knows? But at least we've caught up now. With our strength, we can slowly catch up," Nan Feng replied.
"We might still be far from catching up. Look at the auction house," Jun Lin sighed.
"Huh?" Both of them quickly opened the auction house.
"Wow, 'Silver Wolf Bracelet'? Did he really get this from killing level 10 Silver Wolves?" Haoran exclaimed in surprise.
"Be confident. Remove the 'did he really' part. If he killed the Wild Boar King, then killing level 10 Silver Wolves would be child's play for him," Nan Feng remarked.
"He's a monster!"
