Hunting Oddities Together

The Strength Pill can temporarily increase a player's Strength by 10 points. This is a powerful attribute in the early game, and Ye Luo was quite fond of this Pill Recipe. Most importantly, he had Goji Berries in his inventory. As for Wolf Bone, according to Aunt Li's quest, he knew he could obtain it by killing Young Demon Wolves.

Ye Luo readily agreed when Yan Hua Yi Leng wanted to buy some Strength Pills. He then looked at her and said, "Miss Yan Hua, I think I can help you with a small favor, which should save you quite a few Gold Coins."

Her beautiful eyes flickered slightly, and Yan Hua Yi Leng blurted out, "You've done a lot of Novice Quests, so your Favorability in Novice Village must be very high. What kind of discount do you usually get when buying things now?"

"Twenty percent off," Ye Luo answered truthfully. He then looked towards the outside of the North Gate of Novice Village and continued, "Also, I've accepted a quest from Tailor Zhang to get wolf pelts by killing Young Demon Wolves. I believe after completing this quest, my Favorability will increase again, and I might get an even bigger discount then."

"Twenty percent off, that's quite a good deal. Gold Coins are very important in the early game for job changing and learning Skills," Yan Hua Yi Leng muttered to herself. She then looked at Ye Luo and said, "Coincidentally, I also have a quest to kill Demon Wolves. Let's go together."

Nodding, Ye Luo and Yan Hua Yi Leng headed towards Demon Wolf Valley outside the North Gate of Novice Village.

"By the way, you mentioned you wanted to contact me. What's up?" Yan Hua Yi Leng asked. Before Ye Luo could speak, she added, "If it's about the Heavenly Tribulation Trial Mission, I can't help you much, as each Trial Mission is different. Of course, if you know how to trigger the mission, I can help you analyze it."

With a wry smile, Ye Luo realized he couldn't keep many secrets from Yan Hua Yi Leng. However, he didn't hide anything and shook his head, "I don't know how to trigger the Heavenly Tribulation Trial Mission either. There isn't even a hint."

"Then it's all up to luck," Yan Hua Yi Leng said, her words quite direct, as if she didn't know how to comfort people.

Understanding Yan Hua Yi Leng's temperament to some extent, Ye Luo didn't mind. He nodded and said, "That's right, it's all up to luck. By the way, Yue Er and Sister Feng want us to help each other. What do you think..."

"Your strength is good, your potential is high, and you have a steady supply of Elixirs. Leveling up together will benefit both of us," Yan Hua Yi Leng analyzed. Her voice was as cold as ever. "Since Sister Feng said that, it seems she considers you a friend. In that case, you are half my friend."

"Half a friend?" Ye Luo was slightly taken aback. His voice rose, "A friend is a friend, what's half a friend? But I suppose, with your cold personality, you probably don't have many friends."

Hearing this, Yan Hua Yi Leng stopped walking. She turned to look at Ye Luo, her voice still devoid of emotion, "Why have friends?"

Being asked this by Yan Hua Yi Leng, Ye Luo was stunned. After a long while, he murmured, "Friends are a kind of concern, a bond. But it's because of these concerns and bonds that a person can be happy, or worried and troubled. Otherwise, how lonely it would be to be alone."

Her smooth forehead furrowed slightly. After a long pause, Yan Hua Yi Leng said, "Let's go. By the way, let's add each other as friends so it's convenient to contact each other in the future."

With a wry smile, Ye Luo knew Yan Hua Yi Leng hadn't truly understood the meaning of friendship, but he didn't care. He temporarily disabled the setting that prevented adding friends, and they added each other before forming a party.

Within the same party, Ye Luo could see Yan Hua Yi Leng's Level. He casually asked, "You're already Level 10, why haven't you changed your job?"

"Killing Demon Wolves is my job change quest. I haven't had a chance to do it yet," Yan Hua Yi Leng replied. She then looked at Ye Luo and said, "Tell me your Attack and Defense. This will help me make arrangements."

Although they could see each other's Health Points, Mana, and Level in the same party, they couldn't see Attack and Defense. Attack and Defense were crucial for someone commanding battles, which was why Yan Hua Yi Leng asked.

Knowing he was practically a game newbie and having learned from Zhi Yue that Yan Hua Yi Leng was a female strategist, he didn't mind handing over command to her. He directly stated his Attack and Defense.

"Attack 77-81, very high, much higher than mine. Defense 43-48, only slightly lower than mine. It seems you have more Equipment than I estimated," Yan Hua Yi Leng remarked. She didn't dwell on the matter and directly said, "My Defense is higher, so I'll tank, and you'll focus on offense. Remember to manage aggro."

Seeing Ye Luo slightly stunned, Yan Hua Yi Leng immediately understood and gave a simple explanation. Then she added, "Judging by your movements, you've undergone rigorous training. You should know about coordinated combat, right? It's the same in the game, just with its own rules. I'll send you some data about the game settings. Understand it quickly. Dividing your attention shouldn't be difficult for a master like you. We'll get acquainted while fighting monsters."

As she spoke, Yan Hua Yi Leng transferred a file to Ye Luo. He read it quickly while they walked, and soon he had a thorough understanding of some of the game's rules.

Thinking of something, Ye Luo traded 40 Minor Blood Recovery Pills and 2 mutated Minor Blood Recovery Pills to Yan Hua Yi Leng. "Since you're tanking, you'll definitely need some medicine. Keep these for self-defense, it'll be more efficient this way."

Yan Hua Yi Leng accepted without being polite and then asked, "Do you have any other good items?"

"I have Steamed Buns. You should have some too, right?" Ye Luo said. Seeing her shake her head, he traded some over. "You can find these at the inns in Novice Village. They add some Health Recovery Speed."

"I thought you'd bring out some other Elixirs, but these Steamed Buns are also good," Yan Hua Yi Leng said. After looking at the effect of the Steamed Buns, she was pleasantly surprised.

"Currently, I can only refine one type of Elixir. I do know a very powerful Pill Recipe, but it requires killing a Level 20 Bamboo Viper to obtain snake venom. I doubt anyone in the entire Novice Village can kill a Level 20 monster right now," Ye Luo explained. His tone then shifted, "As for the Strength Pills, I can only refine them after killing Demon Wolves and obtaining some Wolf Bones."

"Alchemists can only refine so few Elixirs in the early game," Yan Hua Yi Leng commented faintly. Then she changed the subject, "Of course, compared to us who don't even have a single Skill, you're already very lucky. Based on my estimation, you must have at least 2 Life Profession Skills now."

On the way, Yan Hua Yi Leng also saw Ye Luo gathering herbs. Although she disliked waiting, she knew these herbs could be refined into Elixirs to supplement combat. She didn't say anything.

Seeing Ye Luo gather another herb by the roadside, Yan Hua Yi Leng asked, "What profession do you plan to take after reaching Level 10?"

"Swordsman, probably," Ye Luo said casually. He then asked back, "What about you? What profession do you plan to take? Thinking about it, I envy you. You can take a Hidden Profession after reaching Level 10."

He didn't get an answer, only a look as if she were looking at an idiot.

"You didn't know me before, did you?" Yan Hua Yi Leng said something quite baffling. Seeing Ye Luo nod, she continued, "I've played so many games, and in every game, I play an Archer. It's a constant rule for me."

Actually, Yan Hua Yi Leng didn't understand why she was explaining these things to a stranger.

"Sorry, I only learned about you from Yue Er about an hour or two ago," Ye Luo said calmly. He spread his hands, "As you can see, I've just started playing the game."

"No wonder," Yan Hua Yi Leng said faintly. They then chatted casually about other things until they arrived at Demon Wolf Valley. The attributes of the Demon Wolves were detected:

[Young Demon Wolf](Normal Monster) Level: 10 Physical Attack: 35—40 Defense: 60 Health Points: 2000 Description: Common monster in Novice Village. Ferocious by nature, they attack proactively and prefer to live in groups.

Looking at the attributes of these Demon Wolves, Ye Luo frowned. Although these Demon Wolves were only one level higher than the Demonic Giant Rats, their attributes had significantly increased. With his current attributes, he could break their defense, but they could also break his. With his 190 Health Points, he wouldn't be able to withstand more than a few hits before dying.

"The monster attributes are quite high. It will be a bit difficult to tank them alone. When my Health Points are low, you take over," Yan Hua Yi Leng said. Seeing Ye Luo nod, she continued, "Young Demon Wolves attack proactively and fight in coordination. With our current strength, we can only handle one at a time. Be careful not to aggro other Demon Wolves."

As if demonstrating to Ye Luo, Yan Hua Yi Leng moved towards one of the Young Demon Wolves after calculating the distance. As it began to move, she quickly retreated, retreating while saying, "As you can see, the aggro range of a Young Demon Wolf is 8 meters. As long as you don't exceed this distance, you won't aggro it."

Nodding, Ye Luo understood. Information about aggro and the maximum aggro range for each monster was included in the data Yan Hua Yi Leng had given him. With his learning ability, he quickly grasped it.

After the Young Demon Wolf chased them out, Yan Hua Yi Leng met it head-on. Her Iron Sword struck the Demon Wolf, dealing '89' damage. As the Demon Wolf prepared to bite her, she quickly retreated. Her movements were skilled and fluid, and she easily dodged the attack. She then swung her Iron Sword again, dealing another '88' damage.

"Your Attack is slightly higher than mine, so pay special attention to your attack rhythm. The damage you deal in a short period cannot exceed mine, otherwise, this Demon Wolf's aggro will be pulled by you," Yan Hua Yi Leng explained while attacking. "Based on my research, this short period is about 6-8 seconds. I've attacked twice already, so you can start attacking now without pulling aggro."

While Yan Hua Yi Leng was explaining, Ye Luo swung his Novice Iron Sword, dealing '98' damage to the Demon Wolf. Seeing the Demon Wolf's attention begin to shift towards him, he immediately realized his attack had slightly drawn the Demon Wolf's attention. He immediately stopped attacking and took a step back.

Quite satisfied with Ye Luo's comprehension, Yan Hua Yi Leng attacked again, drawing the Demon Wolf's aggro back. The Demon Wolf roared in anger, abandoned Ye Luo, and continued to attack Yan Hua Yi Leng.
