Wild Boar Leader

On the vast grasslands, countless Frenzied Boars let out screams every second, turning into a pile of data before being distributed as Experience Points to the Players. In the early stages of the game, Players engaged in desperate leveling, solely to become stronger and successfully complete the game as quickly as possible, escaping this damned Prison.

Wang Yang didn't know what thoughts He Gu held for wanting to become stronger, but he simply wanted to survive.

When tired and hungry, they ate Black Bread. When their HP dropped to dangerous levels, they disengaged from combat and sat down to recover. This monotonous and tedious routine continued. Wang Yang and He Gu, after engaging in battle from morning until their Food was depleted, found the time had reached around 4 PM.

During these several hours, He Gu remained at Level 2, though he was close to leveling up. However, after leveling up, the Profit from hunting Frenzied Boars was estimated to drop to zero. Wang Yang, due to his low level, instead advanced to Level 2, his HP increasing by 126, bringing it to 252.

Upon leveling up, he received 3 Attribute Points to distribute freely. These 3 precious Attribute Points were all allocated to Strength.

After their Food ran out and the Profit became unsatisfactory, the two left the Spawn Point and sat on a Stone Plate to rest.

Several hours of high-intensity leveling inevitably made them both feel weary and fatigued, though the Profit was not bad. Thanks to these repeated battles, Wang Yang's proficiency with his One-Handed Straight Sword, while not yet masterful, had reached a point where he no longer failed. Especially with the ability to block, Wang Yang faced no danger when hunting boars. His skill usage was fluid and natural, the exhilarating experience even making him start to enjoy combat.

Sitting on the Stone Plate, Wang Yang began to organize the items that had nearly filled his entire Inventory. Most of the items within did not possess high value, but they were numerous. Thus, Wang Yang did not delete them, leading to the need to later sort out which equipment and Materials could be sold and which could be used.

He Gu, however, did not have the dilemma of making such choices. Once they returned to town, he would sell everything, including his equipment.

This was because the drops from hunting Frenzied Boars were all Cloth Equipment, while He Gu desired Copper Equipment.

After about half an hour, Wang Yang finally finished organizing. The time was now nearly 5 PM, and the light cast from above had turned dim and yellow.

Looking around, the Players who were previously everywhere could now only be seen in scattered small groups. A full day of leveling had caused most Players to decide to return to town to rest due to mental fatigue. Thus, at this time, there were not many Players left on the Grassland.

It took over twenty minutes of walking to return to town from the Spawn Point. It was now nearing dusk, and generally, one had to return to town before nightfall because monsters at night gained a 30% boost to all attributes. However, for Wang Yang and He Gu, who had leveled up to Level 2, this attribute boost was meaningless, so the two were not in a hurry.

After resting for another ten minutes in the gentle breeze, the first bright star appeared in the sky—Dusk Star.

In reality, it was not a true star but a system-simulated image. Located one hundred meters above their heads, it was the bottom of the second layer of rock.

"Let's go back," He Gu rubbed his eyes and then jumped off the Stone Plate. The short nap had almost made him fall asleep.

Wang Yang nodded and also jumped off the Stone Plate. This trip had brought him immeasurable value. It not only laid the foundation for his future survival and eliminated his initial fear but also taught him how to fight. As long as he continued to fight, his combat skills would only improve.

The reason for gaining so many benefits was the open-minded and straightforward person beside him. He was grateful to He Gu from the bottom of his heart, secretly vowing that if He Gu ever needed his help, he would go through fire and water without hesitation.

As he thought this, walking behind He Gu, he suddenly heard He Gu exclaim in surprise.

Not far ahead, a ball of white light appeared out of thin air. This was a sign of a monster spawning, but this was not a Spawn Point, which was why He Gu was surprised.

They had sat here for nearly an hour without seeing a single boar spawn, yet as they were about to leave, they saw the light of a monster spawning.

The light appeared and dissipated in just one second. A monster, twice the size of a Frenzied Boar, appeared before them.

Both He Gu and Wang Yang were startled. The monster that spawned was not a Frenzied Boar, but it was still a boar. However, not only was its size doubled, but its tusks were also vastly different.

If the tusks of a Frenzied Boar were as thick as a newborn baby's arm, then the tusks of the boar before them were as thick and long as an adult's arm.

"Elite Monster!" Wang Yang, having played many games, exclaimed upon seeing this extraordinary boar.

He Gu's eyes lit up, and he said joyfully, "I've been leveling up for two days, and I thought there were no Elite Monsters in SAO. Xiang Kong, let's take him down."

"Uh..." Wang Yang hesitated. "But he looks tough. Can we do it with just the two of us?"

He Gu dismissively pouted. "He's just a Lv2 Elite Monster. With our skill in hunting Frenzied Boars without taking damage, taking him down will be absolutely simple."

The exceptionally ferocious boar had "Lv2" and "Wild Boar Leader" displayed above its head, and its monster marker was a deep red.

If any Beta Test Players were here, they would first memorize the coordinates, then decisively go back to gather a group of companions to hunt the Wild Boar Leader.

Because the monster's marker was a deep red, it indicated a significant difference in strength between them, and consequently, a very high level of danger. If they dared to engage without absolute certainty, they might suffer extremely tragic consequences.

To Wang Yang, who was already Lv2, the Frenzied Boar's marker would appear light red, indicating that the level and strength were not far apart. Among the different colors, this represented ordinary danger. From this, one could see how many levels of danger the deep red color spanned.

However, to see the monster's marker color, one needed an auxiliary skill—Seeker.

But as a newbie duo, neither of them knew where to learn auxiliary skills, nor did they know the effect of Seeker.

Even Wang Yang didn't know. The simple reason was that he hadn't paid attention to such details when watching Anime, let alone the fact that the Anime didn't explain this matter.

Therefore, the consideration of danger level fell upon the Wild Boar Leader's level.

Lv2...

Both were Lv2. Coupled with their skill in killing Frenzied Boars without taking damage, and with just the two of them, Wang Yang couldn't find a reason to refuse and could only slowly nod in agreement with He Gu's proposal.

It was this hesitant decision that changed Wang Yang's future destiny.
