Sorry, I'm here to fleece you

At the foot of Lingxiao Mountain, weeds grew wild and trees cast deep shade.

Evolve Egg walked cautiously through the forest.

"This game is way too realistic. Walking alone through this deserted forest is seriously creepy!"

The mountain wind rustled through the grass, accompanied by the occasional cries of unknown animals from the woods. It made Evolve Egg's scalp tingle.

He had never encountered an experience like this in a game before.

Just as he was grumbling inwardly, the distant bushes suddenly trembled.

Then, a shrill howl reached Evolve Egg's ears!

"Awoo!"

Evolve Egg's face instantly turned pale at the sound!

"Don't tell me..."

The thought had barely formed when a black shadow suddenly lunged at him!

Evolve Egg's legs trembled. Unable to care about anything else, he screamed and spun around to run!

After taking a few steps, he suddenly came to his senses!

This was just a damn game!

Getting scared by a monster in a game seemed pretty embarrassing!

At once, he gathered his courage, stopped, and turned around!

The next moment, an enormous wolf-like creature radiating savage ferocity leaped into view!

The wolf-like creature stared at him with unblinking eyes.

Its huge jaws were already open, saliva dripping endlessly from its mouth!

"Mommy!"

Evolve Egg shrieked and bolted!

Who the hell told him this was a wolf?

It was practically as big as an elephant, okay?

In his panic, Evolve Egg rushed out of the forest.

Fortunately, he had not forgotten the quest. He tossed smoked meat onto the ground as he desperately ran toward the trap.

The Spotted wolf was clearly drawn in by the scent of the smoked meat.

It abandoned Evolve Egg as its target, let out a howl, and pounced toward the meat.

The Spotted wolf was enormous. With one snap of its jaws, it swallowed the entire chunk of smoked meat.

Evolve Egg watched in astonishment, constantly tossing out smoked meat and gradually luring the Spotted wolf toward the trap.

When he reached the edge of the trap, Evolve Egg jumped with all his strength and cleared it in one leap.

Before he could get to his feet, he heard a thunderous crash behind him.

Evolve Egg hurriedly turned around.

The Spotted wolf that had been chasing him had fallen halfway into the trap.

Because the Spotted wolf was so huge, its body had become wedged directly in the trap, leaving it unable to move!

"Holy crap!"

Evolve Egg was both shocked and delighted.

The instant he saw the Spotted wolf, he had actually lost all hope in the trap!

After all, the Spotted wolf was so enormous, nearly the size of a small elephant, while the trap they had dug was obviously too small.

Yet somehow, everything had worked out perfectly.

Half of the Spotted wolf's body was stuck in the trap, and it could not move at all!

"Come back quickly! I lured the wolf into the trap!"

Overcome with excitement, Evolve Egg shouted directly into the party channel.

Inside the trap, the Spotted wolf struggled desperately!

"Holy crap, this thing's about to get out!"

Right after notifying his teammates, Evolve Egg discovered that the Spotted wolf seemed to be trying to break free of the trap.

He immediately panicked.

"I'll stab you to death!"

Without thinking further, Evolve Egg grabbed a bamboo pole and thrust it at the Spotted wolf!

After the bamboo pole struck the Spotted wolf, the savage beast struggled even more violently.

"Damn, I can't stab it to death!"

Evolve Egg was dumbfounded.

Just then, Gu Du and the others arrived.

Like Evolve Egg, Gu Du and the others were all shocked when they saw the Spotted wolf.

"My god, it's huge!"

"That scared the life out of me."

"Isn't that basically an elephant's size?"

"A beginner monster is this huge? The devs must be insane!"

Hearing everyone, Evolve Egg could not help getting anxious.

"Hey, stop standing around! Hurry up and kill it!"

Gu Du immediately began giving orders.

"Zhao Duitian, throw the Incense Ash!"

"The rest of you, attack it with bamboo poles!"

Hearing Gu Du's instructions, Zhao Duitian hurriedly grabbed a handful of Incense Ash and flung it straight at the Spotted wolf's eyes.

"Awoo!"

A shrill wolf howl rang out, making everyone's scalps go numb.

However, the others were not slow to react either.

Xiong Da, Ye Nima, Evolve Egg, King Grey Wolf, and Gu Du gripped bamboo poles and frantically stabbed at the Spotted wolf!

Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!

In an instant, several wounds appeared on the Spotted wolf's body.

Time slowly passed.

No one knew how long it took, but the wolf's howls gradually weakened until they finally fell silent.

"Is it dead?"

"It should be dead, right?"

"Good thing we sharpened the bamboo poles, or we really wouldn't have been able to do anything to it!"

"By the way, the quest should be complete now, right?"

"We still have to hand the corpse over to the NPC!"

They were utterly exhausted, yet satisfied smiles appeared on their faces.

A mere beginner monster had forced them to put in so much effort, and they had nearly failed!

They had truly never encountered a gaming experience like this before.

Still, with no equipment and no skills whatsoever, killing such a massive monster felt incredibly rewarding!

Lingxiao Immortal Palace.

Ye Yu looked in surprise at the six sand sculpture players before him.

"You killed the Spotted wolf?"

He had originally thought that even if the six Players came up with some strange contraptions,

they would probably have to die a few times before they could kill the Spotted wolf.

Yet they had actually taken down a Spotted wolf without a scratch!

Ye Yu could not help feeling astonished.

"Very good. As expected of disciples of my Immortal Palace!"

Suppressing his surprise, Ye Yu calmly nodded at the six sand sculpture players, seeming extremely pleased with their performance!

Seeing how satisfied the NPC was, they all revealed delighted expressions.

Luckily, the game had not gone completely insane. The Spotted wolf's corpse could be stored in their inventory.

Otherwise, given the Spotted wolf's weight of several thousand pounds, hauling it back to the Immortal Palace would have taken quite some effort.

With a sweep of Ye Yu's sleeve, the Spotted wolf's corpse before him instantly vanished!

At the same time, an electronic voice rang out in his mind!

Ding! Recycled one Spotted wolf. Obtained 600 Contribution points!

Hearing the notification, Ye Yu was overjoyed.

He had not expected the Spotted wolf to be worth 600 Contribution points!

At the exchange rate of ten Contribution points for one point of Divine Power, that could be exchanged for 60 points of Divine Power!

No, he still had to give the Players their quest rewards!

With that thought in mind, he glanced at Gu Du and the others.

"You have eliminated a scourge for the people. Your merit is immeasurable!"

"Take these Contribution points as your reward!"

As he spoke, Ye Yu waved his sleeve.

Gu Du and the others instantly heard a prompt informing them that the quest had been completed and that they had received 10 Contribution points.

That was right. Ye Yu had directly skimmed ninety percent of the Players' Contribution points.

He had no choice. He was poor right now!

"Ten Contribution points? What are those even for?"

Seeing that the quest they had worked so hard to complete had only earned them 10 Contribution points, Gu Du and the others were all stunned for a moment.

However, they still did not know what Contribution points were for. Though they were puzzled, they did not complain too much.

While the Players were studying the Contribution points, Ye Yu had already begun browsing the System Mall.

He planned to use the Contribution points to buy a few skills or Cultivation Methods.

After all, this was a game in the Players' eyes!

He could not keep refusing to let them learn skills or level up, could he?
