Ice Spirit Archer

The Demon Wolf was once again lured away by Yan Hua Yi Leng. After attacking, she hastily retreated, but the Demon Wolf was slightly faster than her. Just as she was about to be bitten, a figure flashed and appeared in front of her. Upon closer inspection, it was Ye Luo.

The Demon Wolf's aggro was on Yan Hua Yi Leng. After Ye Luo blocked its line of sight, its aggro didn't change immediately. It paused for a moment, and by the time it reacted, Ye Luo had already dodged away and was once again facing its attack.

"Not bad. I didn't expect you to be able to use line-of-sight blocking so quickly," Yan Hua Yi Leng praised, though her tone remained as indifferent as ever.

"Although this game is realistic, these monsters can't be like those in reality. Since there are aggro limitations, we can use the rules to deal with them," Ye Luo said calmly.

Even as they spoke, Ye Luo and Yan Hua Yi Leng didn't stop moving. They attacked in tandem and moved in sync. Before long, the Demon Wolf's HP disappeared, turning into a mass of energy and experience that floated towards Ye Luo.

"Huh? Why is there only energy? Where's mine?" Ye Luo noticed this and was confused.

"I'm already level 10. Until I change professions, I don't get experience. All the experience goes to you," Yan Hua Yi Leng explained. Her tone then shifted, "So, it's most cost-effective to team up with someone who hasn't changed professions before I do. That way, not a single bit of energy is wasted."

"Oh, I see," Ye Luo replied. He let out a rare chuckle, "In that case, I'm getting a bit of an advantage. When I change professions, I'll team up with you. It shouldn't take too long."

Nodding, Yan Hua Yi Leng said nothing more and continued to hunt monsters.

Yan Hua Yi Leng was a cold person, not good at communicating with others. Apart from discussing matters related to the game with Ye Luo, she rarely talked about anything else. However, Ye Luo was also not one for excessive chatter. The two of them cooperated well while hunting monsters, and it was quite harmonious.

As time passed, Ye Luo became more familiar with the game, and his coordination with Yan Hua Yi Leng grew more tacit. Both were intelligent individuals. They understood things quickly and reacted accordingly, eventually only needing a glance to know what the other intended to do. Their monster-killing efficiency increased with each passing moment.

To Ye Luo's surprise, with their combined efforts, killing the Young Demon Wolves was quite easy. They barely even needed to use any potions, and his experience grew rapidly. He figured he would reach level 9 before long.

They were hunting monsters together, and the targets were level 10 Demon Wolves. With Ye Luo receiving all the experience, it was no wonder his experience was growing so quickly.

After killing the first Young Demon Wolf, in addition to coins, it also dropped quest items like wolf fangs, wolf bones, and wolf fur, as well as wolf ears. Ye Luo needed the wolf fangs, wolf bones, and wolf fur, while the wolf ears were for Yan Hua Yi Leng's quest. Ye Luo found it amusing that one Demon Wolf dropped four types of quest items.

Although wolf bones dropped, the system indicated they were quest items and couldn't be used, which confused Ye Luo, as he also needed wolf bones to craft Strength Pills.

However, he soon understood, as the Demon Wolf dropped another type of wolf bone that wasn't marked as a quest item.

After killing a few more Young Demon Wolves, Ye Luo obtained two sets of wolf bones that were not quest items. Then, the two temporarily withdrew from combat. After Ye Luo successfully crafted two Strength Pills, they charged back towards the Demon Wolves.

Strength Pills could temporarily increase a player's Strength by 10 points for 30 minutes. With these, their monster-killing efficiency increased even further, and it became easier. Eventually, they barely needed to consume any potions.

Not long after, Ye Luo reached level 9. He continued to allocate all his points to Strength, and his attack and defense increased slightly.

After killing dozens of Demon Wolves, Ye Luo and Yan Hua Yi Leng obtained an equipment drop:

[Demon Wolf Bracers](Bracers * Leather Armor — Normal Equipment) Physical Defense: 17—18 Magic Defense: 17—18 Durability: 150—150 Required Level: 10

It was just a pair of bracers, but their defense was even stronger than Ye Luo's current Giant Rat Leather Armor. Although the latter was only level 7 equipment, it was still quite good.

These bracers could only be equipped at level 10, and Yan Hua Yi Leng did not yet have any bracers. Therefore, the ownership of these bracers was clear. She equipped them, and her defense increased significantly, making it even easier to kill Demon Wolves.

"Why does this equipment show as Leather Armor? It seems other equipment doesn't have this detail," Ye Luo noticed this and was curious. "Also, other equipment only has one defense attribute, but why are there Physical Defense and Magic Defense here?"

"Equipment at level 10 and above starts to have some changes. Helmets, Chestplates, Bracers, Leggings, and Boots are divided into three types: Heavy Armor, Leather Armor, and Cloth Armor. After changing professions at level 10, they correspond to different classes," Yan Hua Yi Leng explained. "Swordsmen, Knights, and Berserkers, along with their derived classes, can only equip Heavy Armor type equipment. Archers, Assassins, and Boxers, along with their derived classes, can only equip Leather Armor type equipment. Mages, Summoners, and Priests, along with their derived classes, can only equip Cloth Armor type equipment."

"Furthermore, after level 10, player attacks are divided into Magic Attack and Physical Attack. Correspondingly, equipment also has the distinction of Physical Defense and Magic Defense," Yan Hua Yi Leng continued to explain. "Heavy Armor type equipment emphasizes Physical Defense, with weaker Magic Defense. Cloth Armor type equipment emphasizes Magic Defense, with significantly weaker Physical Defense. Leather Armor classes fall between these two types of equipment."

"Oh, so that means only you can wear those bracers, since you're going to be an Archer, and I'm going to be a Swordsman," Ye Luo understood easily. Then, something occurred to him, and he asked doubtfully, "But your Flying Snow Robe is also level 10 equipment. Why doesn't it have these distinctions?"

"Perhaps it's because it hasn't fully formed yet. You saw the 'pseudo' character on the equipment. I estimate it will change after leveling up," Yan Hua Yi Leng said. She urged, "Let's kill monsters faster and strive for me to be the first to change professions."

As of now, no player in Novice Village 0099 had successfully completed their profession change quest. It was well known that the first person to change professions would receive a reward, and Yan Hua Yi Leng naturally wanted to complete the quest quickly.

Nodding, Ye Luo said no more and focused even more on killing monsters.

During the monster hunting, more and more players began to flood into Demon Wolf Valley. Seeing that most of them were level 10, Ye Luo knew they were also here to complete their profession change quests.

Watching Ye Luo and Yan Hua Yi Leng kill Demon Wolves so easily, those players thought the Demon Wolves were easy prey. However, after engaging them, they were flustered. Many players became snacks for the Demon Wolves, and only by forming teams could they barely manage.

"If your defense isn't above 40, and your attack isn't above 60, it's very difficult to establish yourself here," Yan Hua Yi Leng suddenly remarked, a hint of emotion in her tone. "More and more level 10 players are coming here. It seems the profession change quests in the novice village are all the same. I don't have to worry about someone else snatching the first spot."

It made sense. Ye Luo and Yan Hua Yi Leng had arrived earlier, and both were skilled players. With the support of Strength Pills, Minor Blood Recovery Pills, and Steamed Buns, others couldn't compare to their monster-killing speed.

About ten minutes later, Yan Hua Yi Leng finally collected all the wolf ears needed for her profession change. Ye Luo had also completed his three quests. The two parted ways; Ye Luo went to turn in his quests, while Yan Hua Yi Leng went to change professions.

By this time, Ye Luo and Yan Hua Yi Leng had killed over a hundred Young Demon Wolves. With the high amount of experience, Ye Luo had already reached level 9 and 81%. He believed that after turning in his quests, he would also reach level 10 and then be able to undertake his profession change quest.

The first stop was naturally Aunt Li's house. After turning in the quest, he received 16,000 experience points, some silver coins, and favorability with the novice village. His experience bar also increased to 92%, bringing him closer to leveling up. To his excitement, he received another piece of equipment from Aunt Li:

[Rat Fur Bracers](Bracers — Normal Equipment) Defense: 15—15 Durability: 100—100 Required Level: 9

These bracers were much better than his previous Toad Armguards. Ye Luo quickly equipped them, and his defense increased again.

"Heh heh, Rat Fur Bracers. It seems Aunt Li made these using the rat fur I traded her earlier. I didn't expect her to reciprocate. That's interesting," Ye Luo thought with a smile, his affection for the game growing even more.

Afterward, Ye Luo received another quest from Aunt Li:

[Collect Scorpion Venom](Normal Quest, Difficulty: E Medium) Quest Content: Kill the Demonized Scorpions outside the north gate of the novice village and bring back 20 units of Scorpion Venom to Aunt Li for her to make wine.

Task Requirements: Within 2 days.

Task Method: No restrictions.

Task Rewards and Penalties: Upon completion, the task will yield generous experience and some money. If lucky, an equipment piece will be obtained.

It was at the north gate again, which was quite convenient for Ye Luo, as he also needed to go to the north gate to kill Young Demon Wolves after accepting his job change mission.

After bidding farewell to Aunt Li, Ye Luo headed to Tailor Zhang. After submitting the mission, he received a large amount of experience, some silver coins, and some favorability with Novice Village. He was slightly disappointed that he didn't get any equipment, but with his level almost reaching 10, he felt a surge of anticipation.

After saying goodbye to Tailor Zhang, Ye Luo was preparing to head to Blacksmith Sun's blacksmith shop, but then he heard a system notification:

"Ding~!"

System Notification (Novice Village 0099): Congratulations to Yan Hua Yi Leng for being the first player in the village to successfully change professions. She has successfully become an Apprentice Archer. As the first player to change professions in the village, she is rewarded with a general skill book.

"Ding~!"

System Notification (Novice Village 0099): Because Yan Hua Yi Leng completed the Heavenly Tribulation Trial Mission, she obtained a random hidden profession within her specialization. She has successfully changed professions to the hidden profession - Ice Spirit Archer.

"Ice Spirit Archer, just by the name, it's clearly an ice-elemental type. According to Yan Hua Yi Leng's explanation, ice-elemental professions are mostly good at crowd control," Ye Luo muttered to himself. After a moment of thought, he nodded. "Archers are originally ranged attackers, and Ice Spirit Archers are good at control. This suits Yan Hua Yi Leng quite well, as she is quite skilled at calculations."

"Plus, she obtained a skill book, which should be quite good. She finally has combat skills, so our team fights will be faster now," Ye Luo said. Then, his expression shifted. "I should hurry and complete my mission to change professions too, otherwise I'll hold her back."
