Five minutes later, three goblins lay sprawled on the ground.
"Ding! Killed [Goblin] *3, gained 540 experience. Every five levels higher, additional 270 experience."
"Ding! Talent triggered, poison damage increased by 3 points, current poison damage is 26."
"Ding! Immortal Body activated, maximum health increased by 3 points, current Immortal Body raised maximum health by 3 points."
Listening to these notifications, Wu Shaochen felt particularly satisfied.
With both talents and Immortal Body growing simultaneously, the more he killed, the stronger he became. However, leveling up was too fast with this overleveled monster experience. Just one monster gave 270 points, meaning he would level up with just over a hundred monsters. It was too quick.
"Yeah, how could I forget about it." Wu Shaochen suddenly remembered the pet egg in his backpack. Pets needed a share of the player's experience.
He didn't need it to fight monsters or anything; sharing some experience was fine too, so he wouldn't level up too quickly.
Thinking about it, Wu Shaochen quickly took out the Silver Wolf King pet egg from his backpack and followed the system's prompts to hatch it.
A burst of light flashed, and the pet egg disappeared. A wolf cub the size of a small dog appeared by Wu Shaochen's feet, affectionately rubbing against his pants. Pets hatched by players would recognize their owner on their own.
"Ding! Hatching successful, obtained Silver Wolf King cub, aptitude: A, please name."
Looking at the little silver-haired guy, Wu Shaochen thought for a moment and said, "Let's call him Silver Taro Wolf."
"Ding! Naming successful."
He looked at Silver Taro Wolf's attributes.
[Silver Taro Wolf] Pet
Aptitude: A
Level: 0
Health: 200
Mana: 100
Physical Attack: 20
Physical Defense: 10
Magic Defense: 5
Speed: 10
Skill 1: Extreme Speed: Increases movement and attack speed by 50% for 30 seconds, consumes 50 mana, cooldown 2 minutes.
Hmm, these attributes are stronger than the rabbit's. No wonder wolves eat rabbits. Besides the innate skills at birth, pets can learn one skill every 20 levels.
Continuing to fight goblins with the little wolf, seeing the eager little guy, he quickly commanded, "Stay behind and soak up experience, with your little arms and legs, you're not enough for a hit."
Sure enough, Silver Taro Wolf obediently retreated to the back.
"Quite obedient." Watching Silver Taro Wolf go back, Wu Shaochen continued to farm monsters, with Silver Taro Wolf taking away 20% of the experience. With each level, he could farm more talents and Immortal Body.
At this moment, having finally reached level 10, Ao Shi Tian Xia excitedly found the village chief, wanting to teleport to the main city as soon as possible, only to be told that the teleportation array needed repairs and he had to kill the Silver Wolf King. Suddenly, he felt terrible all over.
Meanwhile, in many newbie villages, the powerful players who had finally reached level 10 also encountered the same issue.
Next, they organized their teams to go kill the Silver Wolf King together, only to end up wiped out. This caused an explosion on the forums!
A post titled "The Terrifying Silver Wolf King, the Roadblock of the Newbie Village" instantly became a top post. The content roughly said, "To leave the newbie village, you must kill the Silver Wolf King. However, the Silver Wolf King's strength is immeasurable: with 200,000 health, 550 attack power, wide-range group damage ignoring defense, and the ability to summon minions. It's causing countless players immense hardship, yet they have no choice but to fight it. @DustSeal, please share your strategy."
Comments below were flooded with mentions of @DustSeal. Unlike the Wild Boar King, this time it concerned the immediate interests of all players, quickly gathering over a million followers.
Meanwhile, the 8365 newbie village area channel also became lively.
"Damn, so repairing the teleportation array requires killing the Silver Wolf King? Isn't this difficulty too high!"
"Yeah, I saw the stats of that Silver Wolf King online. I reckon I'd be dead before I even got close."
"This Silver Wolf King is terrifying. How did DustSeal manage to kill it?"
"Yeah, I'm curious too. But more importantly, I'm happy. As long as we reach level 10, we can go straight to the main city. Isn't that an advantage?"
"Yes, thank you, DustSeal, you're awesome!"
"Thank you, DustSeal, you're awesome!"
"Junlin, how much more until you level up?" Nanfeng asked Junlin. They were all led by Junlin, so they didn't team up afterwards; they just fought and let Junlin reap the rewards to ensure he got the first job change reward.
"Almost there, 90%, at most half an hour," Junlin said.
"Haha, we really have to thank DustSeal. Otherwise, I'm afraid we wouldn't have had a share in the first place," Xiaobei chuckled.
"Yeah, I have to admit there are so many strong players in this game. I didn't expect so many to reach level 10. We should really thank him," Junlin said seriously.
At this moment, Wu Shaochen received a private message from someone named Su Muxue.
Snow: "Don't you browse the forums?"
"I occasionally check when I log off to eat," Wu Shaochen replied.
Snow: "Log off to eat? Isn't nutrient fluid supposed to provide all the nutrition your body needs for three days?"
"Can't afford it," Wu Shaochen replied decisively.
Snow: "Are you telling me you're playing with a gaming helmet?"
"Yeah, any problem with that?" Wu Shaochen asked.
Meanwhile, Su Muxue, who was in the newbie village farming Silver Wolves, looked at the chat with disbelief. He... was actually playing with a gaming helmet and was ahead of everyone else. How did he manage that?
DustSeal: "Beautiful lady, what's up?"
Su Muxue snapped out of it and said, "Nothing much. Many people are looking for you on the forum. They say you should check it out when you have time."
DustSeal: "I don't feel like logging out right now."
"...You can access the forums directly from the game. Who told you to log out?" Su Muxue rolled her eyes.
DustSeal: "Oh, let me take a look then."
"By the way, which main city are you in?" Su Muxue asked.
"What are you up to? You've added me as a friend. Do you have some other idea about me?" DustSeal replied.
Infuriated, Su Muxue closed the chat window directly and then picked up her weapon to slash at the Silver Wolf.
Uncle Liu, standing nearby, looked at his young lady with a strange expression. "Miss has been acting oddly lately, but I won't say anything, just watch."
After a while, Su Muxue received another private message from DustSeal: "Jinling City." Seeing this message, a hint of a smile curved on Su Muxue's lips. She glanced at her experience, 85%, and realized she needed to work harder.
After replying to Su Muxue, Wu Shaochen indeed found the forum interface in the game. Upon entering, he looked at his ID: DustSeal, which seemed to be directly linked to his game ID.
Upon entering, he immediately saw countless people mentioning him (@-ing him). When he browsed the forum with his mobile phone before, he did so as a guest and couldn't receive these messages. Now, accessing the forum with his game ID, these @-messages showed as 999+ and more, best left unopened.
Wu Shaochen checked the posts. It turned out these people couldn't leave the newbie village. Initially, Wu Shaochen didn't want to get involved, but after some thought, he commented in the thread: "Complain to the village chief!" It wasn't a big secret anyway; he saw it as doing a good deed to prevent these guys from suspecting him of cheating or prompting the authorities to investigate him. As for the final outcome, it depended on whether they were financially capable. Apart from instant healing potions, there were also potions that boosted attack, health, and speed inside, which were extremely helpful for them to strategize against the Silver Wolf King, albeit a bit expensive. Wu Shaochen smirked wryly.
With his reply, waves were stirred.
"Damn, the deity replied!"
"The ID is real, damn, I thought this person was just a myth. Didn't expect the ID to be real."
"It's DustSeal himself, finally saw him reply."
"But what does the deity mean?"
"The deity is teaching us strategies. Those who have taken on the quest should hurry and give it a try."
