Wu Shaozhen finally gained his first friend since entering Oracle. He looked at the lone name on his friends list: Xue'er LV8.
After adding her, Wu Shaozhen turned and left immediately. He still had something important to do...
"Hey, wait...!" Su Muxue hurriedly called out, but Wu Shaozhen had already run off into the distance. She frowned in annoyance.
She opened her friends list and sent him a private message. "You're already level 10. Why aren't you going to the main city for a Class Change?"
It took over ten minutes for him to reply. "You think I don't want to? I can't!"
"Why?" Su Muxue grew even more curious, but he said nothing more. After waiting a long time without another reply, she could only head toward the village entrance in resignation. She needed to hurry and level up too.
Wu Shaozhen certainly couldn't reply to her at that moment, because he was already fighting the Silver Wolf King.
He ran up, landed a sword strike, then fled, taking the Silver Wolf King on a chase. This was his usual trick. With [Instant Recovery Potions], the fight was tense, but his life wasn't in danger. It just consumed quite a few potions. Fortunately, potions were the one thing he had plenty of. Whenever he took a basic attack after renewing his poison, he drank a Medium Red Potion. If he took a roar at full health, he drank a Large Red Potion. He kept his health full whenever possible to guard against accidents. If his health hadn't fully recovered from a basic attack when he saw the Silver Wolf King preparing to roar, he immediately drank an [Instant Recovery Potion]. Dire Wolf Roar's full two-second windup gave him more than enough time to drink a potion.
Wu Shaozhen fought the Silver Wolf King like this for over an hour, remaining on high alert the entire time. Then the Silver Wolf King let out a long howl, and every Silver Wolf within a full five-hundred-meter radius of it came charging over in a frenzy.
"Holy shit, that's just unfair." Wu Shaozhen cursed, his scalp prickling as he watched more than a hundred Silver Wolves racing toward him.
Soon, over a hundred Silver Wolves were chasing Wu Shaozhen under the Silver Wolf King's lead. Unfortunately for them, they weren't fast enough. No matter how many there were, it made no difference.
"Heh, can't catch me, can you? Pisses you off, doesn't it?" Wu Shaozhen taunted. In truth, he had anticipated this situation and already worked out a countermeasure.
This skill was much like the Boar King's recovery. It was a disaster for others, but it was useless against him. He wasn't fighting them head-on anyway. Who cared how many wolves there were? They were slower than him and couldn't catch him. And the Silver Wolf King had ten more points of speed than the Silver Wolves. As long as he ran in one direction, the Silver Wolf King would soon pull ahead and be left fighting alone again.
Sure enough, things went just as he had guessed-better, even. The Silver Wolf King activated Extreme Speed and instantly left the main pack behind.
"Haha, now this is fun," Wu Shaozhen said happily. The fight became a one-on-one again. Against Wu Shaozhen's infuriating fighting style, the Silver Wolf King lasted two hours and forty minutes before finally falling to his poison attacks, unwilling to the last.
"Ding! Congratulations on killing the bronze boss [Silver Wolf King]. You have gained 200 reputation and 20,000 EXP. Your EXP is full. Please undergo a Class Change as soon as possible, or you will be unable to level up." "Ding! Talent effect triggered. Maximum poison stacks increased by 1."
At the same time, another server-wide announcement resounded throughout the Huaxia Server.
"Server-wide announcement: Congratulations to player Dustseal for killing the Bronze Grade boss Silver Wolf King. As the first player on the server to kill a Bronze Grade boss, you have been awarded 500 reputation, 20 gold coins, and 20 free attribute points by the system. This announcement is hereby issued!"
The server-wide announcement rang out three times again, leaving players throughout the China region breathless with shock.
A full three seconds passed before every regional chat channel erupted.
"Are you kidding me? A Bronze Grade boss? Our entire guild still hasn't managed to take down the Boar King, and this Dustseal has already killed a Bronze Grade boss?"
"That has to be fake. Does anyone know the Silver Wolf King's stats?"
"No idea. I've never seen the Silver Wolf King, but it definitely has to be tougher than the Boar King. This Dustseal is way too strong."
"Go take a look, everyone! Someone posted the Silver Wolf King's stats on the forums. Holy crap, those stats blow the Boar King's out of the water! How could anyone kill that?"
"Shit, shit, shit! Just who the hell is this Dustseal? How is he that good?"
Meanwhile, in Novice Village 97, more than a hundred well-trained, fully equipped players were fighting the Boar King with seamless coordination. Leading them was a resolute-looking young man of twenty-seven or twenty-eight. Excitement shone in his eyes as he watched the Boar King approach death. He was a highly ranked expert in the online gaming world, as well as World-Proud Under Heaven, the leader of the renowned gaming guild World-Proud Heroes.
With over a hundred players working together seamlessly, the Boar King finally fell at their feet. But before they could cheer, a server-wide announcement rang out.
After hearing it, everyone fell silent. Their excitement over killing the Boar King vanished without a trace. They belonged to World-Proud Heroes, and, true to their guild's name, its players were all proud experts. Yet in this game, Dustseal had stayed ahead of them the entire time. How could they possibly be happy?
World-Proud Under Heaven exhaled. "Gather the loot. Focus on leveling."
Across the various novice villages, renowned experts fell silent upon hearing the server-wide announcement.
Beginner Village 8365...
"Holy shit, it's the legend from our village again! He's really making Beginner Village 8365 proud. Now I've got something to brag about wherever I go. I came from the same novice village as the great Dustseal!"
"Exactly! He's amazing. I can brag about this for years."
"Speaking of which, has anyone actually seen the great Dustseal? We've been in the same novice village all this time, but I still haven't seen him."
"Nope. He hasn't shown his ID himself. Even if he stood right in front of you, you wouldn't know."
"True. The real greats keep a low profile. All I can say is, Dustseal rules!"
"Dustseal, handsome, add me as a friend! We could even meet up in real life, you know?"
Jun Lin and his companions exchanged silent glances after hearing the system announcement. The gap seemed to be growing wider and wider...
"I really want to meet the kind of person who can pull off so many miracles," Jun Lin said with a sigh.
At that moment, Su Muxue looked at her friends list in shock. This is what you meant by having something to do? You casually take care of a little business, and the whole Huaxia Server shakes!
No wonder you haven't been replying. You were fighting a boss. Since Wu Shaozhen hadn't been answering her, she had intended to stop messaging him, but curiosity got the better of her, and she sent another message.
"Dustseal, how did you kill a bronze boss?"
After a while, he replied with four words:
"Hit it with a sword!"
"..."
After replying to Su Muxue's message, Wu Shaozhen excitedly surveyed the items scattered across the ground. It was time for the thrilling loot-gathering part again.
The hand speed he'd honed over twenty-four years of being single was no joke. He scooped up the entire pile in just a few seconds, then hurriedly opened his inventory to check it.
In total, he had obtained 3 gold and 64 silver, three pieces of bronze equipment, three pieces of black iron equipment, six pieces of plain equipment, two scrolls, a Skill Book, an egg, and a Monster Core (quest item).
"Hell yeah!" Wu Shaozhen exclaimed excitedly. Nothing beat killing bosses. Another massive haul!
