[Frenzied Wild Wolf] (normal monster): Level: 8 Attack: 98 Defense: 44 HP: 490 Skill: Frenzy Description: Don't underestimate me just because I'm a wolf. When humans come, I'm smarter than you could imagine...
"98 attack? That high?"
Seeing the wolf's stats, Lin Mo was a little surprised.
He had barely finished speaking.
Awooo~
A wolf suddenly sprang out of the darkness on his right, opened its bloody maw, and sank its teeth into Lin Mo's arm.
A bright red damage number immediately popped up over Lin Mo's head-
-1 (mandatory damage)!
Lin Mo "paled in shock."
"Fuck! That almost broke through my defense!"
He swung his sword back with a swish, making the wolf howl in pain.
-345 (critical hit)!
Before the wolf could recover, Lin Mo thrust again, driving his sword into its mouth and straight down its throat.
-345 (critical hit)!
Awooo...
With a mournful howl, the wolf dropped dead.
[Ding~ You killed a level 8 Frenzied Wild Wolf. EXP +100! Crime Points -1!]
Two strikes to kill a level 8 monster.
Even Lin Mo was startled by his own strength.
"This guy's ridiculously strong!"
"Aren't the devs going to nerf him?"
But these Crime Points really were a pain to clear!
Killing a white-name player gave him 100 Crime Points, while each ordinary monster only removed one!
That meant Lin Mo had to kill a hundred wolves to clear the 100 Crime Points he had earned from killing Wind Soughs Sadly!
"Fuck! What a pain..."
Did Lin Mo regret it?
Not at all!
The next time he saw Wind Soughs Sadly, he would kill him again!
"You made me drop my gear once. I'll kill you ten times!"
He bent down and picked up the three copper coins the wolf had dropped.
Lin Mo locked onto his next target.
Although the wolves had a terrifying 44 defense,
Lin Mo was clearly even more terrifying!
The special effect on his gold-quality Demonized · Holy Light Ring granted 55 armor penetration, completely negating their defense!
In other words, the wolves might as well have been naked in front of Lin Mo!
And with his agility as high as 95, almost every sword strike was a critical hit!
Critical hit!
Critical hit!!
Critical, critical hit!!!
Awooo...
The wolves' agonized howls rang through the night sky.
It was as though some mighty boss had invaded their territory and was slaughtering them mercilessly.
The reward of 100 EXP per wolf also sent Lin Mo's experience bar soaring!
While Lin Mo was killing wolves,
his mail suddenly flashed again!
Lin Mo brought his sword down and killed the wolf before him in two strikes, then stepped on its head and opened his mail.
[Ding~ The purple equipment Magic Bow you listed at the auction house has been purchased by player Hero of Troubled Times. After deducting the 3% transaction fee, the remaining 19,400 yuan has been transferred to the bank account linked to your character!] [Ding~ The E-rank skill book Poisoning you listed at the auction house has been purchased by player Hero of Troubled Times. After deducting the 3% transaction fee, the remaining 29,100 yuan has been transferred to the bank account linked to your character!] [Ding...]
Lin Mo froze for a moment.
Well, damn!
Eight pieces of blue equipment, one piece of purple equipment, and an E-rank skill book-all ten items in the auction house had been bought by Hero of Troubled Times alone!
"Wang Junjie, you really are loaded!"
Along with his amazement, Lin Mo felt a little regret.
"If I'd known you were buying them, I'd have raised the prices!"
"You got a bargain, you bastard!"
As he spoke, Lin Mo opened his bank account and took a look. To his delight, he discovered that he now had over 120,000 yuan!
Since Oracle's servers had opened,
he had earned over a hundred thousand in just three hours!
In his previous life, Lin Mo had worked himself to the bone grinding for money in Oracle, earning only two or three thousand a month-barely enough to get by. For the first time, he felt that making money was as easy as breathing!
Of course, Lin Mo knew perfectly well that this amount was still nowhere near enough.
Compared to the minimum of fifty million he needed to save before Oracle consumed reality, this hundred-odd thousand was just a drop in the bucket.
But at this rate,
"Earning fifty million within three months shouldn't be a problem!"
After all, the early profits available in the beginner village were still small change.
Bigger opportunities lay ahead in the Level 3 Main City!
Lin Mo had the server's only SSS-rank talent, along with memories of his previous life.
The further he progressed, the easier it would be for him to make money in Oracle World!
After killing four wolves in a row,
Whoosh!
A shaft of golden light descended over his head.
Lin Mo reached level 6!
At the same time,
Clatter!
A pair of pitch-black legguards dropped from a wolf's corpse.
Lin Mo picked them up and discovered they were level 8, tier-one, white-quality [Wild Wolf Legguards]. He was instantly thrilled.
"Fucking hell!"
"After hundreds of monsters, I finally got my first equipment drop!!"
Lin Mo was genuinely moved.
Although this white equipment wasn't worth much and would probably only sell for two or three hundred yuan at the auction house,
every little bit counted.
Lin Mo tucked them into his inventory as though they were a priceless treasure.
He continued killing wolves.
One after another, he killed thirty wolves.
The first part of the quest-killing 30 wolves-was now complete. Only the final Howling Moon Wolf King remained!
It was at precisely that moment.
Awooo-
A chilling howl erupted from the darkness deep within Wild Wolf Ridge!
The surrounding wolves were cowed by the sound!
"Still howling!"
"I'm coming for you!"
As he spoke, Lin Mo shook the wolf blood from his Flowing Light Sword.
Sword in hand, he headed deeper into Wild Wolf Ridge.
Sure enough, in the darkness stood a demonic wolf on a rise, its body covered in silver fur and its eyes glowing an eerie blue-green. Bathed in moonlight, it looked utterly majestic-
[Howling Moon Wolf King] (boss monster): Level: 10 Attack: ? Defense: ? HP: ? Skills: ? Description: The overlord of Wild Wolf Ridge and leader of the wolves. Its authority must not be challenged...
"Is it already beyond the detection range of E-Rank Reconnaissance?"
Lin Mo frowned slightly. "Damn it, I can't see its stats!"
Still, it hardly mattered.
Wearing five pieces of gold equipment, Lin Mo had no fear of this level 10 boss wolf king, even though he was only level 6.
"Let's make this quick. I'm in a hurry to turn in my quest."
Awooo-
The Howling Moon Wolf King raised its head and let out a long howl.
It seemed to have taken Lin Mo's words as a challenge.
Whoosh!
With astonishing leaping power, it sprang into the air and lunged at Lin Mo from dozens of yards away!
Lin Mo reacted swiftly.
The instant the wolf king reached him, he dodged sideways.
Miss!
With a reverse slash, he drove his sword straight into the wolf king's asshole-
-129!
"Tch!"
"You really are pretty tough!"
Lin Mo now had a whopping 184 attack, plus 55 armor penetration from his ring, yet he could only deal this much damage to the wolf king!
He could see that the health bar above its head had dropped by around 6%.
Judging by that percentage,
its total HP should have been around 2,400!
Lin Mo treated the wolf king with a little more respect.
For the first time, he activated the special skill on his Demonized · Holy Light Mage Boots.
[Ding~ You used the equipment skill Acceleration: Agility +40 for 10 seconds!]
With the agility bonus from Acceleration,
Lin Mo's agility had now reached a terrifying 136, giving him astonishing hand speed.
Swish, swish, swish!
Three consecutive sword strikes landed right on the wolf king's rear!
-194 (critical hit)!
-194 (critical hit)!
-194 (critical hit)!
That critical hit rate...
Even Lin Mo found it frightening!
The wolf king's health bar plummeted!
At that moment, it whipped its head around and bit down hard on Lin Mo's thigh.
[Ding~ You were hit by the Howling Moon Wolf King's Blood Slaughter skill. You lost 142 HP!]
"That really hurts!" Lin Mo grimaced in pain.
Even the gold-quality [World Shatterer · Overlord] couldn't block the wolf king's damage.
That showed just how high its attack really was!!
Still, with his gold armor restoring 20 HP per second, Lin Mo had nothing to fear.
Swish!
Swish!
Swish!
He hacked furiously at the wolf king's forehead!
"Let go!"
"Are you going to let go or not?!"
"Still won't let go?!"
Swish!
Swish!
Swish!
-194 (Critical)! -129! -194 (Critical)!
In no time, Lin Mo hacked the Howling Moon Wolf King to death.
Awooo...
With a mournful howl.
The mighty wolf king fell...
