Chapter 5

"Just a Silver Boss?" Wang Yu was slightly taken aback, thinking to himself, "I thought an S-class mission would at least give me a chance to fight a Divine Boss!"

Before entering the game, Wang Yu had also read some game introductions and knew that the bosses in the game were divided into five ranks.

Bronze, Silver, Gold, Dark Gold, and Divine.

What Wang Yu, a novice in the game, didn't know was that all bosses possessed extremely powerful attributes, far surpassing the weaklings he usually trampled. Even a Bronze-level boss required multiple players to cooperate to take down.

A Silver Boss was already the top existence in the beginner village.

As for Divine Bosses, Wang Yu was overthinking it... There were only a few Divine Bosses in the entire server, and a mere beginner village couldn't possibly accommodate such a grand presence!

If other players saw this mission, they would immediately recognize how harsh the conditions were, almost like a trap. Killing a Silver Boss while being under level 10 and fighting alone was practically impossible!

Wang Yu, being a game novice, didn't understand the difficulty of the mission and was still making light of it.

"Don't worry, Old Li, I'll definitely help you slay that beast!"

With that, Wang Yu headed towards the Dawn Plains.

The beginner village was called "Dawn Village," and the Dawn Plains were a vast field to the west of the village.

The field was occupied by level 10 wild wolves. Since the server had only been open for three days, the highest-level player in the beginner village was around level 9, so the Dawn Plains had few players, most of whom were in small groups.

These players were all here to farm for loot.

Although killing higher-level monsters gave more experience than killing monsters of the same level, leveling up was all about efficiency.

Killing a level 10 wolf took half a minute and gave 200 experience points, while in the same half-minute, one could kill three same-level monsters, which was much more efficient. For experience alone, there was no need to come here to kill wolves!

Wang Yu glanced at the map and made his way through the monster zone, heading straight for the wolf spawn area.

In "Rebirth," wild wolves were both loved and hated by players.

They were loved because, as the highest-level monsters in the beginner village, they had a good drop rate, even dropping level 10 skill books.

They were hated because the wild wolves in the game lived in groups, with at least six in a pack. Regular players had to form teams to farm wolves, luring them one by one, which greatly reduced efficiency.

There was no choice; the attack power of six level 10 wolves was enough to instantly kill any player at this stage!

Wang Yu, wandering around, soon encountered a pack of wild wolves.

Seeing Wang Yu enter their territory, the six wolves, which had been dozing in the grass, quickly stood up, baring their teeth and drooling as they approached.

"These wild wolves are just like the wild dogs at the village entrance!" Wang Yu complained, checking the attributes of the wild wolves.

Wild Wolf (LV10)

HP: 300

MP: 50

Skills: Bite, Claw

Beasts were beasts, relying only on their claws and teeth!

Wang Yu shouted and charged into the wolf pack.

The wolves also surrounded him, not willing to back down.

Wang Yu dodged a wolf's attack, then delivered a side kick to the waist of the nearest wolf.

The wolf yelped and flew into the air.

A blood-red "-44" appeared above the wolf's head.

Immediately, Wang Yu grabbed the wolf's throat with his left hand and thrust his right hand, fingers together like a knife, into the wolf's body!

-55

-99

-100

Side Kick, 140% completion, dealt 400% physical damage, with the effects of knockback and cripple.

Critical Hit, 170% completion, dealt 500% physical damage, with the effect of ignoring defense.

Critical Hit, 185% completion, dealt 900% physical damage, with the effect of ignoring defense.

Three consecutive hits dealt an additional 100 damage!

The wolf, with only 2 HP left, was already on its last breath due to the cripple effect. Wang Yu threw it, and it landed on the other five wolves, turning into a white light and dropping a black item.

Instant kill!!!

No one could have imagined that a level 2 Fighter could instantly kill a level 10 wolf with a single combo!

Even Wang Yu was a bit puzzled: What was this "additional damage from consecutive hits"?

The additional damage from consecutive hits was actually a hidden attribute in the "Rebirth" system. Currently, most players couldn't achieve consecutive hits, but as their attributes and skills improved, they would gradually discover this. The more consecutive hits, the higher the additional damage.

Fighters, who were often overlooked in the game, had the characteristic of consecutive hits, which was a form of compensation for them.

The other five wolves surrounded Wang Yu again, and his Side Kick skill was now off cooldown. He repeated the same technique and instantly killed another wolf.

The AI of the wild wolves was low, and their attack patterns were very mechanical. Wang Yu quickly mastered their rhythm and, in no time, turned the six wolves into experience points.

Leveling from level 2 to level 3 required 2000 experience points. Each wolf gave 200 experience, and with the bonus for killing higher-level monsters, a white light appeared, and Wang Yu leveled up to level 3.

After distributing his attribute points (3 Strength, 2 Agility), Wang Yu picked up the items dropped by the six wolves.

The six wolves dropped about 30 to 40 copper coins, much more generous than the wild dogs, and the first wolf also dropped an item.

Blue Wolf Wristguard (Black Iron)

Physical Defense: 1-1

Magic Defense: 1-1

Level Requirement: 5

In "Rebirth," equipment was divided into seven levels.

Black Iron (White), Bronze (Green), Silver (Blue), Gold (Yellow), Dark Gold (Orange), Epic (Purple), Legendary (Rainbow)

There was also a black type called a set, which could be a 3-piece, 5-piece, or 7-piece set. Individual set pieces had average attributes, but once the set was complete, hidden attributes would be activated, making them much better than regular equipment.

Although it was just a Black Iron piece, it was enough to show that the drop rate of the wild wolves was indeed as good as rumored.

Wang Yu put away the Blue Wolf Wristguard, sat down to recover his MP, and continued to wander around, hunting wild wolves.

The wild wolves provided plenty of experience and had a good drop rate. Most importantly, they were much stronger than wild dogs, which made Wang Yu feel that his skills were not wasted.

By noon, he hadn't found the Silver Wolf King but had killed over a hundred wolves, leveling up to level 6.

This leveling speed was shocking in "Rebirth."

Due to the unchangeable nature of characters, leveling up in "Rebirth" was extremely difficult. Leveling from 1 to 2 was relatively easy, requiring only 1000 experience points, and the first beginner mission would directly level you up.

However, after the adaptation phase, it became hell. Each level required double the experience of the previous level. The highest experience a monster in the beginner area could give was 200, and only after level 8, when the beginner missions were completed, would the experience required for each level increase by 10%. Thus, after three days, there were no level 10 players, with most stuck at level 7.

The hundred wolves dropped eight pieces of equipment, including a Blue Wolf Leather Armor, a pair of Blue Wolf Boots, a Blue Wolf Helmet, and the rest were Blue Wolf Wristguards.

There were also several copper coins. Wang Yu's monster hunting was almost cost-free, so he had saved a good amount of potion money.

Equipped with a set of Blue Wolf equipment, Wang Yu, who was already imposing and fierce, now exuded a wild aura, making people wary.

Wang Yu's current attributes were:

ID: Iron Ox (Fighter)

Level: LV-6

HP: 270 (9 * 30)

MP: 240 (8 * 30)

Strength: 25

Constitution: 9

Spirit: 8

Intelligence: 8

Agility: 20

Attack: 22-27

Magic: 5-8

Physical Defense: 12-15

Magic Defense: 10-13

Equipment:

Blue Wolf Leather Armor: Physical Defense 2-2, Magic Defense 2-2

Blue Wolf Helmet: Physical Defense 1-1, Magic Defense 1-1

Blue Wolf Wristguard: Physical Defense 1-1, Magic Defense 1-1

Blue Wolf Boots: Physical Defense 1-1, Magic Defense 1-1, +4% Movement Speed

Worn-out Gloves: Attack 1-2

Skills: Side Kick (LV1): A powerful leg attack dealing 120% physical damage and causing knockback. Costs 30 MP.

With his current high defense, even a wolf's bite would only reduce his HP by a single-digit number.

Of course, with Wang Yu's skills, the wolves couldn't even touch him, so he didn't feel that defense was particularly useful. He wore the equipment mainly because the equipment slot was empty anyway.

After another round, he still didn't encounter the Silver Wolf King. Bosses were rare, especially Silver Bosses.

Wang Yu returned to the beginner village, drawing a large crowd.

In an era where everyone wore cloth and wielded wooden swords, Wang Yu's attire was exceptionally eye-catching.

Players drooled at the sight of his clothes, which clearly weren't ordinary. Looking at themselves, they were still in worn-out cloth... What the hell.

"Bro, where did you get those clothes?" A warrior with a wooden sword approached and asked Wang Yu.

Wang Yu replied calmly, "Dropped!"

"..." The crowd was speechless. Wasn't that obvious? If the store had them, who would bother asking?

"Where did they drop?" The warrior asked again.

"Dawn Plains, from wild wolves!"

Wang Yu was an honest person and answered truthfully when asked.

"Whoa..." Everyone drew a sharp breath.

Dawn Plains, where all the monsters were level 10, was a place where low-level players usually went and came back (for free). This big guy was a Fighter and was alone. Could he really have the ability to farm the Dawn Plains? When did Fighters, a supposedly useless class, become so powerful?

The warrior was also stunned and tentatively asked, "Are you selling?"

The warrior was just asking, as having such a set of equipment in the early game was like a beginner's godsend, and the chances of selling it were slim.

But to everyone's surprise, Wang Yu immediately replied, "Selling!"

For Wang Yu, the only useful piece of the set was the boots. It was better to sell the rest rather than waste them.

When he joined the studio, Wang Yu had signed a contract with Li Xue, agreeing to pay five gold coins per month for the first two months after the server opened!

In the game, 1 gold coin = 100 silver coins = 10,000 copper coins.

Wang Yu, who killed monsters without any cost and was overleveling, had a substantial income and was definitely considered wealthy. He currently had only a dozen silver coins in his inventory.

In the early game, before the RMB exchange was available, the value of five gold coins was unimaginable!
