Harvest

While Qi Lin was still lost in random thoughts, several fruits were stuffed into her hands.

Looking at the fruits in her hands, Qi Lin was surprised to recognize the ones Dun Qu Qi Yi had given her. They were the Sunset Fruits she had collected for the gathering quest from the high Elf Skadi.

Qi Lin looked at Dun Qu Qi Yi in confusion.

Understanding what the older sister meant, Dun Qu Qi Yi explained, "I haven't learned any healing skills yet. Healing skills only become available after reaching level ten and obtaining an official class. Don't worry, though. These are called Sunset Fruits, and they restore a small amount of HP."

"Big sis, you can share them with your teammates."

Qi Lin nodded thoughtfully. Of course, she knew Sunset Fruits could restore HP, but her game character had not been injured before, so she did not know exactly how effective they were.

Crunch.

Qi Lin took a bite of a Sunset Fruit.

Soon, Qi Lin heard the system notification.

[System Notice: You consumed a Sunset Fruit. HP restored: 300.]

[System Notice: Your HP is full and cannot be restored.]

"One Sunset Fruit restores 300 HP." Qi Lin was startled by the system prompt. Thinking about it carefully, she was only level three right now, with just over four hundred HP. A single Sunset Fruit could restore three-quarters of it.

It was practically a miracle cure during the beginner phase. Later on, restoring 300 HP would probably be barely worth mentioning.

"Catch." With her HP fully restored, Qi Lin flicked her wrist and tossed one Sunset Fruit each to the three of them.

"What's this?" Big D asked curiously, gripping the Sunset Fruit in his hand.

"Quit talking. It's a small red potion," Qi Lin snapped bluntly.

Big D, Demacia, and Ironclad Heroism immediately devoured the fruits in their hands.

Their HP instantly returned to full, reigniting the spirits that had just faded.

Seeing them regain their confidence, Dun Qu Qi Yi said, "Invite me into the party too."

"Sure, sure." As the team captain, Big D had no reason to refuse a level-five expert joining them, so he hurriedly sent an invitation.

Dun Qu Qi Yi accepted it upon receiving it.

Qi Lin also noticed Dun Qu Qi Yi's information appear on the party panel.

Party Member: Dun Qu Qi Yi, Class: Novice Apprentice, LV: 5.

With a level-five player joining them, their margin for error against the Wild Boar King increased considerably. Even so, the five-person party still spent nearly twenty minutes whittling away the Wild Boar King's remaining health.

The final blow came from one of Qi Lin's crossbow bolts. After letting out a mournful boar's cry, the Wild Boar King collapsed to the ground.

After defeating the Wild Boar King, Qi Lin, Big D, Demacia, Ironclad Heroism, and Dun Qu Qi Yi all received experience.

Qi Lin's dual-gun class received more experience because she landed the final blow. She jumped from level three to level five.

Demacia and Big D reached level three.

Ironclad Heroism reached level four.

Even Dun Qu Qi Yi, who had joined halfway through, gained a level and reached level six.

Meanwhile, Lord Xin, who had just emerged from the resurrection point, silently drew circles nearby as he roared inwardly, Why don't I get a share?

Everyone gradually came down from the joy of leveling up and turned their eyes toward the Wild Boar King's corpse.

The word "Dissect" floated above the Wild Boar King's body.

"Looks like killing monsters doesn't make equipment drop. We probably have to make it ourselves. This game is way too realistic." Having spent a long time drifting through society and internet cafés after dropping out, Big D immediately understood the mechanics of World Tree.

"Let me do it." Dun Qu Qi Yi was the first to step forward, eagerly volunteering to give it a try.

Seeing Dun Qu Qi Yi's intentions, the others exchanged looks and raised no objections. They all agreed.

Dun Qu Qi Yi stepped forward and reached out to touch the word "Dissect" on the Wild Boar King's corpse.

From the outsiders' perspective, several glowing orbs rose from the Wild Boar King's body before vanishing.

Back with the party...

"Just as Captain Big D said." As Dun Qu Qi Yi spoke, she displayed the loot from dissecting the Wild Boar King.

The loot was as follows:

[LV5: Wild Boar King Tusk ×2 (Gray)]

[LV5: Wild Boar King Tooth ×10 (Gray)]

[LV5: Shattered Teeth ×20 (White)]

[LV5: Wild Boar King Spine ×1 (Gray)]

[LV5: Wild Boar King Hide ×1 (Gray)]

[Boar Meat ×200 (White)]

Seeing these impressive-looking but incomprehensible spoils, everyone was instantly at a loss.

"What are these things for?" Demacia was the first to ask.

Seeing that everyone else wore equally confused expressions, Demacia knew he had asked a pointless question.

But when they saw Dun Qu Qi Yi's eyes light up, everyone understood that she knew what these strange spoils were for.

Not bothering to keep them in suspense under their inquisitive gazes, Dun Qu Qi Yi explained everything she knew. "You need scholar-class players who know secondary professions to handle these. Or you can learn a secondary profession yourselves after level ten."

"I think the tusks can make two swords, the teeth can be made into arrowheads, the hide can be turned into armor, and the spine can make a bow or staff."

"Of course, if you have a very high affinity with the high Elf Skadi, you can ask her to make equipment for you."

As Dun Qu Qi Yi spoke confidently, everyone began to realize something. Could she be talking about herself?

Although there was also the option of asking the high Elf Skadi, all the men present unanimously ruled it out.

Big D could not hold back any longer. "Little sis, if I remember right, you're a Fontaine apprentice, aren't you? Which secondary professions have you learned?"

Hearing Big D's question, Dun Qu Qi Yi scratched her head sheepishly. "I've learned blacksmithing, alchemy, and cooking so far. If I learn anything else, I won't have enough energy."

The energy she mentioned was a special skill point unique to the Fontaine class. It was essentially a skill slot, obtainable only through class advancement, changing classes, or completing special quests.

Big D could not help sucking in a breath. Unlike the others, who did not understand the scholar class, Big D had carefully analyzed every class as an unemployed drifter.

Only after everyone looked at him in confusion did he explain, "Scholar-class skills rely on both practical operation and learning. Learning each skill is like solving an advanced calculus problem."

"As long as a scholar player's skills and knowledge can keep up, they can theoretically learn every skill, as long as they aren't limited by energy."

"It's like this: you can score ninety-nine because you can only score ninety-nine, while someone else can score one hundred because the test is only worth one hundred points."

After hearing Big D's explanation, everyone understood only vaguely, but that did not stop them from blurting out, "Holy shit, learned something new."

Dun Qu Qi Yi felt a little embarrassed under their godlike gazes. "It's not that exaggerated. I can't make leather armor, so I'll have to ask Sister Skadi about that, but I can make everything else for everyone."

"Then we'll be troubling you, Dun Qu Qi Yi," Qi Lin said gratefully.

Dun Qu Qi Yi waved her hand. "It's no big deal. Once I finish, I'll contact you through the system messages."

"Then let's add each other as friends," Ironclad Heroism suggested from the side.

After adding one another as friends, they all left to continue exploring the game.
