Wolf Slayer Blade Upgrade Gray Domain

After trying on the Fine Grade Wolf Pelt Armor and looking over the description displayed on the Player Panel, Wang Zhifan quickly stored it back in his Personal Space.

In the current hot season of the real world, he felt overheated even in a single layer of clothing, let alone a full set of leather armor.

He got up and turned on the small electric fan on the chair beside the bed, cooling himself down a little. Then Wang Zhifan took out his other two dungeon rewards.

The first was the Wolf Slayer Blade he had chosen. Just as its name suggested, it was a Rare Grade saber weapon, perfectly suited for him as a Blade Warrior player.

Wolf Slayer Blade (Rare Grade)

Armor Penetration: When attacking, ignores 40% of the target's physical defense.

Wolf Slayer: When attacking wolf-type enemies at Lv5 or below, has an 80% chance to trigger an instant-kill effect.

This blade was a prized Long Horizontal Saber. Not only was its edge exceptionally sharp and its body incredibly sturdy, but it also possessed particularly terrifying killing power against wolf-type creatures, hence the name Wolf Slayer Blade.

"So it really is a weapon specifically meant for wolf-type enemies. No wonder it has that name... Still, its Armor Penetration effect looks pretty good, and the blade itself looks damn cool."

The Rare Grade Long Horizontal Saber in Wang Zhifan's hand looked somewhat like a katana. Its blade was a bright silver-white, long, narrow, straight, and faintly curved. The sheath and hilt were a steady black-and-gray color scheme. The entire weapon was a little over a meter long, far longer than his already ruined Common Grade Short Blade.

Standing up, Wang Zhifan fully drew the Wolf Slayer Blade from its sheath and casually swung his newly acquired weapon through the air, producing a faint hum. Then he returned it to its sheath and stored it in his Personal Space.

What appeared in his hand next was an unremarkable pale yellow scroll, but its value could not be underestimated. It was a Fine Grade Warrior Class Skill Upgrade Scroll.

Warrior Class Skill Upgrade Scroll (Fine Grade)

Tear open this scroll to upgrade any class skill of a Warrior Class user to Lv3. Skills already at Lv3 have a 10% chance of being upgraded to Lv4.

There was no need to hesitate. After reading the scroll's description, Wang Zhifan tore it open and used it on the spot.

As he did so, the torn pale yellow scroll in his hand quickly vanished. At the same time, an indescribable stream of information began pouring into his mind. In an instant, he seemed to understand a great deal of simple yet practical saber techniques. He also felt a tingling sensation in his palms, wrists, arms, waist, and legs, as if those parts of his body had undergone fine-tuned modifications along with the improvement of his skill.

Very soon, after opening his Player Panel, Wang Zhifan discovered that Saber Art Lv1, his only Warrior Class skill, had been upgraded.

Name: Wang Zhifan.

Status: Normal.

Level: Lv1.

Experience: 36/100.

Class: Blade Warrior.

Constitution: 11.

Strength: 12.

Agility: 12.

Spirit: 11.

Skill: Basic Saber Art Lv3.

Equipped: None.

Personal Space: Wolf Slayer Blade (Rare), Short Blade (Common) (Damaged), Wolf Pelt Armor (Fine), Cloth Armor (Common) (Damaged).

This leap in improvement was very obvious to him. Even though he had not engaged in any real combat yet, the various saber techniques engraved in his mind and the sense of proficiency in his body, as though he had practiced the saber for ten years, made him believe that his saber skills had risen by a huge margin.

After taking out the Wolf Slayer Blade again and practicing with it in the air for a while, Wang Zhifan compared its excellent feel in his hands with the awkward clumsiness from before the upgrade and became even more certain of it.

"If my saber skills at Lv1 were only at the level of a beginner, then my current Saber Art Lv3 should qualify me as a seasoned saber user... With my advantage in saber technique alone, I could now take on three of my former selves and kill them all... Players really do grow stronger at an absurdly fast rate."

After dealing with his dungeon gains, Wang Zhifan felt a little hungry, so he took out his phone and planned to order some takeout.

According to the memories of the original owner, the world he was currently in was rather similar to the one before his transmigration. Both were modern civilized societies, except the country he was in was called the Xia Kingdom rather than China.

Ring, ring, ring~

As Wang Zhifan began searching his phone for this world's food delivery apps and planned to check how much money he had in savings, a call suddenly came through. The caller ID displayed "Brother Qiang."

Wang Zhifan frowned slightly and quickly searched through the memories he had inherited from the original owner. He soon recognized that Brother Qiang was likely the person from whom the original owner had bought the Player Class Card. But he clearly remembered that the original owner had already settled the payment and goods with him. Why was Brother Qiang suddenly calling now?

"Brother Wang, I wanted to ask you something. Have you finished your first dungeon?"

After answering, Wang Zhifan heard a deep middle-aged man's voice coming from his phone's speaker.

"I just finished it. Brother Qiang, is there something you need from me?"

Wang Zhifan did not deceive him and answered directly. In any case, being a player was not particularly rare in this world. As a novice player, and an unfortunate melee-type one at that, no one would pay him special attention.

"Oh! I don't have anything in particular. I just happen to have a job that would be quite suitable for a new player like you to hone your skills. Would you be willing to give it a try?"

What came from the phone next caught Wang Zhifan somewhat off guard.

"Brother Qiang, I'm only a Lv1 beginner. I nearly got myself killed even when I teamed up with others for my first dungeon just now. What kind of job could I possibly do..."

Wang Zhifan felt rather speechless. The other party clearly knew he was as green as could be, yet he was still inviting him to take on some job. The intention of using him as cannon fodder was far too obvious.

"Hehe, Brother Wang, don't misunderstand. I've actually been urged by the authorities to help them recruit a group of talented players to join a Special Operations Group.

This group is specifically meant to clear out those low-level Gray Domain Monsters. You know about the Gray Domain, right? Those disgusting things that invade our real world and can only be cleared by players.

These days, whether in our Xia Kingdom or abroad, those damned things have been appearing more and more frequently. The elite player forces trained by the authorities can no longer keep up.

If you're interested, I'll give you a contact. I guarantee that the pay for working there will be much higher than an ordinary job, and if you do well, you might even receive Fine Grade equipment as an official reward..."

Brother Qiang said a great deal, letting Wang Zhifan understand that he had been entrusted by the Xia Kingdom authorities to recruit people everywhere in response to the increasingly rampant Gray Domain invasions.
