The Mask of the Wild Boar King

Meanwhile, in a forest clearing.

Leng Yuan and her partner watched the Greedy Wolf Battle Group leave, both feeling baffled.

"Are these people... insane?" Lu Fei couldn't help complaining. "They couldn't snatch the monster themselves, yet they came over here to make accusations. Is there something wrong with their brains?"

Leng Yuan snorted, her face full of undisguised contempt. "They're just a bunch of local thugs squatting in the novice area. Their horizons and ambitions are only this big."

"But the way they looked at us in the end didn't seem like they were willing to let this go," the young man said worriedly. "Sister Leng Yuan, they wouldn't really dare attack us, would they?"

"Even if they had a hundred times the guts."

Leng Yuan's tone brimmed with absolute confidence. "We're a patrol squad directly under the Professional Association. We represent the authorities. If Greedy Wolf dared to openly attack us, it would be the same as declaring war on Lin Hai City's entire official system. He doesn't have the nerve, nor does he have the strength."

After saying that, she no longer paid the matter any attention. She turned around, and her cold eyes fell on Yang Yu.

Her gaze was still the same lofty, scrutinizing one.

"This place is dangerous." She spoke in a chilly voice, carrying an unquestionable command. "You only survived just now because you were lucky. Even for me, dealing with this Wild Boar King would take some effort."

"Since you didn't spout nonsense earlier, I'll give you a piece of advice. Leave immediately. What you did just now has already offended Greedy Wolf."

Yang Yu felt no ripples in his heart.

Greedy Wolf?

Once he leveled up two more times, none of them would be his match.

He could tell that although this woman was arrogant and prickly, she was not bad at heart. She was simply used to disguising herself beneath a cold exterior.

You didn't slap a smiling face, even if the other party wasn't smiling.

Besides, he had farmed monsters, gained levels, and obtained his loot. He had already planned to move elsewhere.

So, he obediently nodded without refuting or arguing.

Seeing Yang Yu being so compliant, the severity in Leng Yuan's eyes softened slightly. Still, she said nothing more and turned to her partner. "Let's go. Continue the patrol."

The two figures flashed away and quickly vanished into the night.

Only Yang Yu remained in the clearing.

He looked in the direction where the two had disappeared, then toward where Greedy Wolf had gone, and gently shook his head.

Trouble.

He didn't like trouble.

Yet trouble always seemed to like finding him.

He did not linger. Turning around, he headed deeper into the dense forest. Only after finding a completely secluded cave and confirming that there was no one nearby did he finally relax and prepare to inspect his greatest gains of the night.

The cave was dimly lit. Only a few strands of moonlight filtered through gaps in the vines at the entrance, casting mottled patches of light and shadow.

The air was thick with the damp scent of earth.

Yang Yu found a clean rock to sit on. With a thought, he opened his Profession Panel.

Name: Yang Yu

Profession: Warrior (D-rank)

Level: 8 (250/7500)

Strength: 36+10

Agility: 24+10

Constitution: 41+30

Spirit: 9+10

Equipment: Bloodstained Iron Sword, Black Iron Bulwark, Advancing Novice Adventurer Badge

Skills: Blade Draw (Lv10), War Cry (Lv5), Bloodthirsty Battle Intent (Lv2)

After reaching Level 8, his Constitution and Strength had each increased by another 4 points.

His Strength had reached 36 points. With the 10 points from his equipment, his total Strength was as high as 46!

Feeling the surge of power within his body once again, Yang Yu nodded in satisfaction.

Now, it was time to inspect the Elite BOSS's inheritance.

He took out the scroll first.

Dungeon Cooldown Reset Scroll

Type: Consumable

Effect: After use, immediately resets the entry cooldown of one designated Dungeon.

Good stuff!

Yang Yu's eyes instantly lit up.

The value of this item simply could not be measured in money!

For ordinary professionals, Dungeons were the most stable and efficient way to obtain experience and equipment.

But each Dungeon could only be entered once per day by each person.

After that, it would enter Cooldown.

And this scroll meant that he could ignore that restriction!

It meant double the experience, double the equipment, double the joy!

For Yang Yu, who possessed the "Two Hundredfold Effort" talent and pursued the ultimate leveling efficiency, it was practically a divine artifact!

He carefully put away the scroll, suppressing the excitement in his heart, then took out the other piece of loot.

That savage Wild Boar Mask.

The mask was entirely black. Its material was neither gold nor iron, cold and heavy in his hand.

Its design perfectly replicated the Wild Boar King's violent and ferocious face. Two curved tusks extended from either side of the mask, gleaming with an eerie metallic luster.

The Mask of the Wild Boar King

Type: Head Equipment

Quality: Rare

Required Level: 10

Defense: +50

Constitution: +10

Special Effect: Wild Charge. The first attack you launch while in Charge State deals an additional 30% damage.

Note: "Wear me, and you'll be the coolest kid in this Wild Boar Forest!"

Another piece of Rare Grade equipment!

Although it required level 10, he could not wear it yet.

Still, head equipment was inherently rare, and pieces with special effects were even rarer.

Although this mask's 50 Defense was not especially outstanding, its added Constitution and special effect made it truly impressive.

Yang Yu did the calculations.

After reaching Level 8, his base Constitution was 41 points.

The Black Iron Bulwark, this Rare Armor, added 20 points.

The Novice Badge added 10 points.

Once he reached level 10 and wore this Mask of the Wild Boar King, he would gain another 10 points!

By then, his total Constitution would reach 80 points!

That was simply terrifying.

"If we're talking about Constitution alone, even those A-rank professionals of the same level probably aren't as high as me right now!"

A confident curve formed at the corner of Yang Yu's mouth.

After properly storing both pieces of loot, Yang Yu took a bottle of Novice Recovery Potion from his Storage Space, twisted open the cap, and drank it in one gulp.

A warm current slid down his throat into his stomach, swiftly spreading through his limbs and body. The weakness and depleted vitality caused by activating Bloodthirsty Battle Intent rapidly began to recover.

He leaned against the cold rock wall and rested with his eyes closed, recovering while planning his next move.

"Just two more levels until level 10."

Reaching level 10 was the first major dividing line for all professionals.

At this stage, powerful professions could awaken powerful skills, and the attributes gained from leveling up would also increase.

Speaking of which, as a D-rank, he would indeed start falling behind.

There was nothing he could do about that.

It would be great if I could raise my Profession Level too.

Yang Yu calculated silently.

Should he head to a Dungeon next?

Time was tight.

And with the Dungeon Cooldown Reset Scroll, entering a Dungeon might be a good choice.

He was only Level 8 now. He was confident he could clear a Normal Grade Dungeon.

But an Elite Grade one... was still too risky.

Yet if it was only a Normal Grade Dungeon, it would greatly reduce the value of this scroll.

So, it would be more worthwhile to level up to level 10 outside first.

Then directly challenge an Elite Grade Dungeon.

Besides, he had now unlocked Sword Qi Projection.

Perhaps he could pair it with War Cry, drawing the monsters' aggro while using Sword Qi Projection to harvest them. His monster-farming speed might not be slow at all.
