Deep within Wolf King Valley.
Su Yu stood behind a large tree, observing the Howling Moon Wolf King in the distance.
Howling Moon Wolf King lv10 (Rare)
HP: 140,000
The Howling Moon Wolf King was a giant wolf resembling a tundra wolf, standing three meters at the shoulder and measuring 4.6 meters long. Its fur was white as snow, and it looked exceptionally imposing.
What deserved the most attention, of course, was its HP: a full 140,000! One thousand times that of ordinary monsters at the same level!
In "Evolution," ordinary bosses generally had around ten times the HP of regular monsters at the same level. Excellent-quality bosses had roughly twelve to thirty times as much, while rare bosses had thirty-three to one hundred times as much.
But the Howling Moon Wolf King was special. It was an event boss for a Monster Siege, and its HP had been raised a thousandfold, putting it in the category of top-tier epic bosses.
Moreover, the Howling Moon Wolf King was not alone. Twelve Elite Wolf King Guards surrounded it (lv10, HP 1,400), and they too had ordinary boss templates.
Looking at this pack of mighty wolf bosses, Su Yu's expression turned grave.
The Howling Moon Wolf King was not something he could handle.
The Wolf King was enormous. In the game, the larger the creature, the faster it generally was.
Even if Su Yu used Ice Spells to slow the Howling Moon Wolf King, the Wolf King could still easily catch up to him. The idea of kiting it simply would not work.
Once the Wolf King caught him, a single swipe of its claws could send him offline to reflect on his life.
With his experience, Su Yu might be able to dodge several attacks, but the Wolf King had 140,000 HP! Over such a long battle, Su Yu could not guarantee that he would not get hit even once.
One hit, and he would be dead.
"Ugh! I should leave it to the players in the village... But can the players there really deal with it?"
Su Yu had no confidence at all.
In his previous life, Novice Villages and main cities had experienced quite a few Monster Siege events. The players' chances of success and failure had been about fifty-fifty.
But this time was different. This Wolf King siege had come far too early!
If it had not been for Su Yu, this Monster Siege might not have been triggered until tomorrow night, when the bulk of the players had generally reached levels seven or eight and the first batch of players were grinding in Wolf King Valley.
At that time, the players might have been able to hold it off.
But now...
Su Yu shook his head. "Only a few hardcore grinders have reached level seven so far, and they've all logged off."
"Most players are only around level four. The Wolf King has a level-six suppression advantage over them. The failure rate of this Monster Siege is at least ninety-five percent."
"Forget it. I should tell the Relevant Department, Imperial Blood, and Heaven Cleaver. Hopefully, they can use their influence to get players to take refuge in other Novice Villages."
Su Yu sighed and turned toward the entrance of Wolf King Valley while opening the private chat interface.
But just as Su Yu turned around, he saw the steep cliff on the inner side of Wolf King Valley's entrance, and his gaze sharpened slightly.
He knew this cliff.
When he had been doing Annie's Revenge, Snowflake had recommended this cliff to him. She had told him to jump from it and use the high speed of his fall to evade the Star Forger Dragon King's fatal strike.
But since Snowflake had been the one to suggest it, Su Yu had rejected the idea without a second thought.
Now that he saw the cliff again, a bold idea surfaced in his mind. It seemed he had found a way to deal with the Wolf King!
"The game has only just launched. The monsters' aggro ranges probably haven't been adjusted yet. Maybe I can use this cliff to kill the Wolf King boss!"
Su Yu's eyes lit up!
The tedious four hours of grinding had left Su Yu yawning repeatedly. Now that he had finally found a challenging target, a long-lost surge of excitement suddenly rose within him!
However, before dealing with the Wolf King boss, he had to make sufficient preparations.
For example, he needed a better set of movement-speed gear, preferably equipment with double movement-speed bonuses. He also needed an Ice Arrow Skill Scroll.
Otherwise, the Wolf King would catch up and bite him to death before he could even lead the boss to the cliff.
With that in mind, Su Yu no longer hesitated. He put on his full set of movement-speed leather armor and ran toward Nolan Village at full speed.
Nolan Village had now become packed with people.
Players from other villages had heard that a Monster Siege event had appeared in Novice Village 6. With a mindset of joining in for the experience, they came over in droves to watch the excitement, cramming the small village until it was impossible to move.
Su Yu forced his way through the surging crowd and barely squeezed into the Warehouse.
Only after entering the Warehouse did he let out a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, the Warehouse's interior was an independent dimension. Otherwise, with so many people crowding around, he would not have been able to buy anything.
He opened the Warehouse's item search interface and skillfully selected the keywords: equipment, movement speed, chest armor.
A long list of equipment quickly appeared, ranging from levels three to five, and ninety percent of it was leather armor.
For example: Traveler's Leather Jacket lv3 (Excellent) (Defense +8, Movement Speed +0.3)
The movement-speed bonuses provided by chest armor were not high, generally around 0.2 to 0.4.
However, these chestpieces were very cheap, usually costing only ten to thirty Psionic Coins.
At this stage, movement-speed equipment was useless for grinding. Though it appeared to be excellent-quality equipment, it was no different from a common white-grade item in players' eyes.
Flush with cash, Su Yu directly selected the five chestpieces with the highest movement-speed bonuses.
Buy, buy, buy, buy, buy!
The five chestpieces were swiftly retrieved from the Warehouse storage.
After obtaining the five pieces of equipment, Su Yu used Star Point Hand on them one by one.
"Ding! Spend 300 Psionic Coins to enhance Wind Whisper Chestguard lv3 (Excellent)?"
"Confirm!"
"Ding! Wind Whisper Chestguard lv3 (Excellent) has been upgraded to Wind Whisper Chestguard lv3 (Rare). Defense +5. Additional attribute: Agility +3."
This one would not do. Next!
"Ding! Spend 500 Psionic Coins to enhance Red Wolf Leather Jacket lv5 (Excellent)?"
"Confirm!"
"Ding! Red Wolf Leather Jacket lv5 (Excellent) has been upgraded to Red Wolf Leather Jacket lv5 (Rare). Defense +5. Additional attribute: Attack Speed +10%." "Ding! Uncle Anno's Leather Armor lv3 (Excellent) has been upgraded."
The attributes gained after each enhancement were random, so Su Yu could only keep enhancing equipment one after another, gambling on getting double movement-speed bonuses.
After enhancing all five pieces of equipment, he still had not obtained the double movement-speed equipment he wanted.
Su Yu's expression did not change as he bought another five pieces of equipment with the highest movement-speed bonuses.
Finally, when Star Point Hand landed on the eighth item.
"Ding! Wind-like Leather Armor lv4 (Excellent) has been upgraded to Wind-like Leather Armor lv4 (Rare). Defense +5. Additional attribute: Movement Speed +0.3."
"It finally came!" Su Yu let out a long breath.
Wind-like Leather Armor lv4 (Rare)
Defense +9
Movement Speed +0.4
Movement Speed +0.3
