Enraged Red-eyed Rabbit

"Alright, becoming an adventurer requires paying two Gold Coins or killing ten wild monsters," the attendant said with a professional smile.

"I choose to kill ten wild monsters," Su Jiang said calmly.

"Ding--"

"Would the player like to accept the Adventurer's Guild's trial: Kill ten wild monsters!"

"Quest Description: Poor adventurer, go into the wild and kill ten monsters, then hand their materials over to the Guild to show them your strength! Reward: Adventurer's Badge x1, EXP +100!"

"Accept."

Su Jiang accepted the quest without hesitation.

In his memories of his previous life, players had to join the Adventurer's Guild to receive a steady stream of quests. Moreover, only quests accepted through the Guild had guaranteed rewards.

In the setting of the "Meta World," when players accepted quests from NPCs, the NPCs might find all sorts of excuses not to pay the rewards—or simply vanish from the face of the earth, leaving players to waste their efforts.

Besides, most players in the early stages did not know that this trial quest actually had hidden conditions.

The quest did not specify what monsters had to be killed. If one killed ten ordinary low-level monsters, they would only receive an ordinary Adventurer's Badge and could only accept the lowest-ranking adventure quests. But if they killed monsters above their level, they could become an Elite Adventurer and accept higher-level, rarer quests!

No one knew about these hidden conditions yet. Coupled with the current international resistance toward this game, if Su Jiang did not reveal it, it would probably be just like his previous life—at least three months before someone discovered it...

Leaving the Adventurer's Guild,

Su Jiang arrived outside Novice Village.

Outside the village entrance was a wide-open clearing. Several Slimes bounced around there, while quite a few players chased after them and beat them up.

For the Elite Adventurer Badge, Su Jiang naturally could not just kill a few Slimes and return. He turned his gaze toward the distance.

A ring of spiked fencing stood around the edge of the clearing, meant to guard against monsters running out of the forest.

"Tsk, tsk. Another newbie going off to die."

Several people ganging up on Slimes in the clearing saw Su Jiang climb over the fence and enter the forest, and they could not help clicking their tongues.

Their faces were full of schadenfreude.

"I bet he won't last three minutes. He'll definitely get all his newbie gear blown off, then reappear at the entrance of Novice Village in nothing but his underwear!"

After saying that, everyone laughed. Then, as they laughed, they fell silent.

Because they had all gone through the same thing.

Su Jiang entered the forest.

Red-eyed Rabbits with glowing crimson eyes hopped through the bushes, chewing on vegetable leaves while warily watching their surroundings.

Red-eyed Rabbit

Level: Lv.2

Life Level: Ordinary Magical Beast

Attack: 20

Defense: 1

Health: 80

Description: Even rabbits bite when they are desperate, so don't make them angry~

After taking a glance at the monster, Su Jiang saw that the Red-eyed Rabbit's attack stat was twice his own. With that attack power, if a Level 1 newbie were surrounded by the rabbits nearby, five hits would be enough to send them on their way!

Although the Red-eyed Rabbits had strong stats, they were still not enough for the Adventurer's Guild's quest.

An idea instantly formed in Su Jiang's mind.

"Dimensional Avatar: Tokisaki Kurumi!"

The next moment, Su Jiang transformed into a beautiful young girl with mismatched twin ponytails, dressed in a dark crimson astral dress and holding an antique rifle.

Her scarlet eyes seemed to ripple with water, and a seductive smile curved across her lips.

With the memories of his previous life, Su Jiang easily immersed himself in Kurumi's identity.

"Bang--"

The vegetable leaf the Red-eyed Rabbit had been chewing was instantly blasted to pieces by Kurumi's rifle.

The Red-eyed Rabbit was not particularly aggressive. Upon sensing an enemy, its first instinct was to flee. It immediately hopped away from its original spot, while Kurumi silently followed after it.

Once it found another place, looked around, and felt safe again, it took out another vegetable leaf and began savoring it with slow, careful bites.

Kurumi, hiding behind a tree, aimed at the leaf again and fired.

"Bang--"

The fresh vegetable leaf was once more blown to bits by the bullet.

The Red-eyed Rabbit froze for a moment, cautiously looking around, but it still could not find the enemy.

It could only move somewhere else again.

"Bang--!"

It changed locations.

"Bang--!"

The Red-eyed Rabbit's fur turned pink.

It moved to another location again.

"Bang--!"

Its fur changed from pink to deep crimson. Its two red eyes looked ready to drip blood, a savage expression appeared on its face, and its rabbit teeth gleamed with vicious light!

Kurumi chuckled behind the tree, her eyes curving into crescents.

"My, my. Mister Rabbit is getting angry."

Hearing the voice, the Red-eyed Rabbit turned around and saw a human dressed in splendid clothes, holding a firearm.

It understood. The enemy who had been blasting apart its vegetable leaves... was her!

It instantly turned red with rage!

"Squeak!"

The Red-eyed Rabbit's body swelled until it was half a human's size.

Enraged Red-eyed Rabbit

Level: Lv.2

Life Level: Elite Magical Beast

Attack: 50

Defense: 0

Health: 1000

Description: Oh dear, the rabbit is angry, ε=ε=ε=ε=ε=┌(;￣◇￣)┘...

These stats...

Tokisaki Kurumi: 6

"Bang--"

-10!

The shot hit its target, and a red damage number rose above the Enraged Red-eyed Rabbit's head.

Seeing that this human had actually dared to attack it again, the Red-eyed Rabbit took it as utter contempt. Its two muscular rabbit legs bent, and it charged forward with Rabbit Head Smash.

The Red-eyed Rabbit's Agility was incredibly high. It was almost instantly upon her.

Kurumi swiftly dodged. Her normal attacks carried the passive effects of First Bullet and Second Bullet, increasing her own speed by 10% while reducing the Red-eyed Rabbit's speed by 10%. It was enough for her to react!

"Bang--"

In less than a second, Kurumi fired another shot. With the speed boost, her attack speed was 1.1 shots per second.

With such a massive speed gap, Kurumi's bullets continuously struck the Enraged Red-eyed Rabbit.

-10!

-15! (Weak Point Attack)

-10!

-20! (Critical Hit)

-10...

A rapid series of gunshots echoed through the forest. The Red-eyed Rabbit was already covered in blood, one of its eyeballs had fallen out, and bullets had blown its face into a cratered mess. It looked both savage and horrifying.

Kurumi murmured, "This is far too unsuitable for children. If kids saw this, their parents would definitely complain..."

The slowed Red-eyed Rabbit could not touch Kurumi's fragile body at all. After dodging again, Kurumi fired another barrage of bullets into its face.

Half a minute later.

This enraged, muscular Red-eyed Rabbit shrank as though it had deflated, then lay on the ground with an unwilling expression and closed its eyes.

Until its death, the Red-eyed Rabbit never understood why this human had to blow up its vegetable leaves. Did its soft, white body not deserve to eat her bullets?
