``` [You saved a family member, you gained 5 Family Contribution Points, current total contribution 23 points. However, because the wolf plague quest is not yet complete, you cannot become the Head of the Family.]

[You killed a strong adult gray wolf, you gained 45 Hunting Experience, Wolf Plague Quest progress 1/4. Warning: This quest progress is not fixed and will change with the passage of time or the development of events.]

[Friendly Reminder: During the Wolf Plague quest, the gray wolf corpses belong to the family collectively. However, the one who kills the gray wolf will receive double experience rewards.]

The two messages flashed by quickly, but Li Wei paid them no mind. He directly discarded the Wooden Spear in his hand, which was already covered in blood and no longer suitable for gripping.

He casually wiped his hands on his body, then turned and picked up the Wooden Spear Phila had thrown on the ground. He turned and chased into the forest, determined to at least take down that injured gray wolf.

As for Phila, after being pounced on again, her courage seemed to have completely shattered.

And Penny, she had at least a dozen wounds. Although none were fatal, her escape and subsequent "divine assist" had left her completely exhausted.

"George, don't be reckless, come back quickly, we can make a plan!"

Phila finally shouted, but Li Wei remained unmoved. Instead, he quickened his pace. The opportunity was fleeting. That injured gray wolf would surely die, but it couldn't die by the jaws of other beasts, or bleed out somewhere else.

Li Wei needed the experience it would bring.

At this moment, he wasn't being reckless, but rather very rational.

In fact, the more he chased, the faster the two gray wolves ran. They bolted ahead, even startling away snakes and other creatures.

After crossing the stream and reaching the outskirts of the forest, the injured gray wolf finally collapsed on the ground. The other gray wolf let out a mournful howl, glanced back at Li Wei, and then dashed into the forest like a gust of wind, not daring to face Li Wei alone.

A dozen seconds later, Li Wei rushed forward, finished off the injured wolf with a spear thrust, and then decisively dragged its corpse back.

Almost simultaneously, several lines of information rapidly floated past.

[You killed an ordinary adult gray wolf, you gained 30 Hunting Experience, Wolf Plague Quest progress 2/4]

[This is already the third gray wolf you have killed. Your courage, Strength, and skill have been proven. Do you wish to take it a step further?]

[You will receive a One-Star Hunter Card, opening a second profession. However, the condition for completing the quest will change.]

Huh?

A Hunter Card!

This was a pleasant surprise.

Li Wei certainly wouldn't refuse. He couldn't have wished for anything more.

The next second, it was as if time froze again. Gray mist surged from all around, then quickly dissipated. In front of him, a gray card floated, identical to the Farmer Card he'd had before.

The moment he picked up the Hunter Card, it vanished. In its place, a strange warm current surged into his heart, a power began to brew, and it felt like he had gained something more.

At the same time, lines of information also appeared.

[One-Star Hunter Card has been bound, automatically gaining 5 Free Attribute Points]

[Has transferred profession to Trainee Hunter]

[Gained Professional Talent: Ranged Weapon Accuracy passively increased by 30%]

[Has entered the corresponding world, World Difficulty: One-Star]

[World Background: Unknown]

[Quest Requirements: Survive for at least 36 months and accumulate at least five units of Standard World Resources]

[Quest Success Reward: Unknown]

[Quest Failure Penalty: Strip Farmer Card, Hunter Card, erase related memories, return to original world. However, considering humanitarian care, 50% of awakened Life attribute will be retained.]

This is great.

For a moment, Li Wei truly wanted to chase into the forest without stopping and kill those two gray wolves. A Trainee Hunter, a second profession, and five Free Attribute Points to boot.

He, Li Wei, was becoming visibly stronger now.

But Li Wei eventually calmed down quickly. The forest was not as open as the valley. Once he entered it, he would be facing more than just two gray wolves.

Furthermore, after this battle, his Stamina had dropped to 10 points, making his legs tremble. He would need at least another hour or two of rest to recover.

That's right, Stamina doesn't instantly recover when depleted.

So, everything really needed to be planned carefully.

Li Wei then shouldered the gray wolf's corpse and retreated. On this side, Phila and Penny had already worked together to drag another wolf corpse back to the camp.

None of the three said anything. After Phila treated Penny's wounds, she hurried out to deal with the two wolf corpses. In this hot weather, they would easily spoil.

Li Wei went to the stream to wash up, then retrieved the dropped Wooden Spear. After resting for over an hour until his Stamina was full, he drove the old Cow to graze near the camp and took out his Sickle to cut grass.

Although the wolf plague wasn't completely resolved, it didn't mean other things couldn't be done. Grazing cattle and cutting grass were still possible, but he had to remain vigilant and not get distracted.

The valley became quiet afterward. Only occasionally, from deep within the eastern forest, would a wolf howl be heard, a mournful sound. Surely these wolves weren't calling for reinforcements?

Li Wei occasionally had this thought, then sped up his grass cutting.

The wild grass in the valley, thanks to the abundant rainfall, grew vigorously. Li Wei cleared a large area around the camp, and the cut grass was enough to feed the old Cow for several days.

Li Wei's actions, of course, also had a purpose.

An old cow needs to eat grass, and someone needs to herd it every day. How unfortunate it would be to be attacked by gray wolves while herding!

Furthermore, cutting grass also cleared a large area of visibility, preventing wild wolves from approaching silently.

As the sun set, Li Wei herded the old cow back to the camp. Just as he was rushing to take a bundle of grass back, wolf howls sounded again from the eastern forest. This time, they were very close.

"George, hurry back, the wolf pack is here again!"

Behind the camp's wall, Penny, her face pale, shouted hoarsely. She had been injured before, and although she couldn't do much, she had still insisted on standing on the ox cart in the afternoon, looking out from a high vantage point to warn Li Wei.

The wolf infestation quest forced them to temporarily unite.

And almost simultaneously, a line of information appeared silently.

[Warning: Because the root cause was not eliminated and the Wolf King was not slain, the wolf infestation quest will change over time. Current wolf infestation quest progress: 2/6]

Well, damn it!

Where did two more wolves spawn from!

Li Wei ran all the way, abandoning the grass he had cut.

When he rushed into the camp and stood on the ox cart to look out, he saw four gray wolves rapidly approaching, their demeanor quite arrogant. Especially one of the black wolves, it was powerfully built with sinister eyes. As it looked up at him, Li Wei even felt as if a person was hidden within its body.

It was hatred, hostility, and a declaration of war to the death.

Li Wei's heart skipped a beat just looking at the black wolf.
