Chapter 6

BOSS!

It's definitely a BOSS!

Seeing the giant wolf, Chu Rui's heart almost leaped out of his chest, and he was almost about to shout out in excitement!

Behind was a mountain, and in front were three wolves guarding three directions. With such an arrangement and the size of the giant wolf, it was definitely a BOSS!

This wolf is definitely the Wolf King!

Looking at the three guardian wolves, Chu Rui excitedly muttered to himself.

Even the guards are elite gray wolves; there's no doubt that the giant wolf is the Wolf King.

Suppressing his excitement, Chu Rui forced himself to calm down. Although he had upgraded his equipment, dealing with a single elite gray wolf was no problem. However, three elite gray wolves and a Wolf King BOSS of unknown strength was a different story. Without the Wolf King even moving, the three elite gray wolves could tear him to pieces. Fortunately, the three wolves were spread out far enough that he could use the blind spots in their alert ranges to lure them over one by one. However, Chu Rui had been leveling up for six hours straight and had just fought an elite gray wolf, so he was quite exhausted. This place should not have been discovered by anyone yet. If it's mine, it won't get away. If I go out now with greed, the chances of failure are high.

Forget it, impatience ruins great plans!

Glancing at the Wolf King and the three elite gray wolves, Chu Rui decisively chose to retreat. Although his attack and speed were good, his defense was lacking. He could handle regular monsters, but elite monsters or BOSSes would be too much for him.

Returning to make clothes from gray wolf skins and restocking on potions is the right move.

Sharpening the axe doesn't delay the chopping of wood!

Taking a deep breath, Chu Rui quietly retreated along the original route.

Rushing down the hill, he couldn't stop due to the high speed. If not for his extremely good body coordination, he would have fallen flat on his face. Even so, he twisted his body, and the system deducted 20 HP as damage.

Rubbing his waist, he was both amused and frustrated. This was too exaggerated; the game even judged such minor injuries. This means that if he made any high-intensity movements that his body couldn't handle, he would take damage, even from falling! However, this was a good thing! Such a setting made players treat the game as a real world.

Rushing down the hill, he returned to the plain. By this time, the gray wolves had respawned. Without hesitation, Chu Rui raised his wolf-tooth dagger and charged forward.

"Ding, Congratulations! You have reached level 6! Please choose your attribute point distribution method! Mode 1: Add one point to each of the four main attributes, and gain two additional free points! Mode 2: Gain 5 free points to distribute!"

Looking at his attributes, Chu Rui decisively chose the second mode, gaining 5 free points, which he added entirely to agility, bringing it to 30 points and increasing his speed by 1 point.

Lifting the gray wolf's corpse, Chu Rui was surprised to find a longsword underneath.

Fine Steel Sword: Common equipment, Attack 8-12! Requires level 3, Durability 3/15!

"..."

After nearly five hours of fighting gray wolves, the most he had gotten were copper coins and potions. Now, killing a single gray wolf to reach 99% experience, he got a piece of equipment. Damn, this world is too damn dramatic!

Getting equipment is good. Stowing the Fine Steel Sword in his backpack, the leveled-up Chu Rui ignored the gray wolves and quickly moved out of the gray wolf area. By the time he reached the edge, he saw many people. After several hours of leveling, many players could now form teams or solo to fight the gray wolves.

Being low-key allows you to live longer!

This has always been Chu Rui's motto! However, in this situation, how could he be low-key? People were everywhere, and he wasn't a ghost who could ignore everything. Still, it was just a game, so it wasn't that strict. Despite being very careful, Chu Rui still attracted the attention of many people. It wasn't just that he came out of the gray wolf area with a few wolves chasing him; his dagger and shoes were enough to draw attention. Everyone here was either organized or powerful, and some had already obtained equipment. However, no one had colored equipment (equipment other than white) like Chu Rui.

As soon as he appeared, he received the attention of many. Chu Rui was a bit annoyed. After shaking off the wolves, he headed toward the newbie village.

Perhaps because of Chu Rui's calm and hidden aura, or perhaps because of his equipment, even though many people stared, no one came to bother him. A piece of equipment might give an early advantage, but offending a mysterious and powerful person for it was not worth it. Those who could come here to fight monsters were not fools and understood this very well.

"Isn't that the person who entered the gray wolf area just now?"

Looking at Chu Rui's back, the young man who had advised him not to enter the gray wolf area was somewhat surprised.

"It's really him. Damn, is this for real? He went into the gray wolf area alone and didn't die, and he even got equipment. Look at that dagger; it's colored equipment."

The short man beside the young man said enviously.

"Ha, he's definitely a pro."

The young man smiled faintly, his eyes showing some interest.

"Boss, should we approach him? See if we can buy his equipment."

The thin man beside the short man asked softly.

"No need. It's best not to provoke such a person. If he can be a friend, that's great; if not, don't make him an enemy. A piece of equipment is not worth offending such a powerful potential enemy. We can approach him, but we should show goodwill and see if we can bring him into our team. Even if we can't, it's good to have a familiar face."

The young man waved his hand, rejecting the thin man's suggestion.

"Alright, don't waste time. Let's keep grinding! With this sword, it's much easier to fight gray wolves."

Smiling, the young man raised his black iron sword and charged at the nearby gray wolf. His two subordinates, one tall and one short, smiled helplessly and followed, starting to mercilessly beat the poor gray wolf.

...

"Big brother, take me as your little brother? I'll serve you tea, run errands, and deliver messages, I'll definitely make you satisfied!"

"Strong man, take me to level up. I'm still level 0. Those guys move their knives faster than killers, and I didn't even see what the chickens and rabbits looked like before they were killed!"

"Handsome guy, be my boyfriend. Just take me to level up and give me some equipment, and I have special rewards."

"Brother, are you selling your equipment? I'll buy it with RMB, and the price is up to you!"

"Bro, you look like a tough guy. How about joining my team? We can farm BOSSes and date girls. A game with brothers is a real game."

"Pro, are you interested in joining our studio? Monthly salary, easy tasks, and full benefits. Where else can you find such a good deal?"

"..."

As soon as he appeared in the newbie village, Chu Rui was surrounded by a group of newbie players. Requests to level up, for equipment, for love, and to join teams filled his ears, almost making his brain freeze.

Activating the Wind of Agility, he fled into the village, wiping the sweat from his forehead. Chu Rui looked at the crowd with lingering fear. This was too terrifying!

Inside the village, he was safe. If anyone interfered, they would be fined by the village militia, and if they couldn't pay, they would be put in jail. This temporarily ensured Chu Rui's safety.

"Slime Bracelet, Defense 2, Critical Hit Rate +1%, Trade Only, Last 10 Minutes!"

While passing by the tailor's shop, Chu Rui suddenly heard a voice shouting.

Bracelet?

Chu Rui was slightly stunned and pushed through the crowd. He saw a tall, graceful woman in leather armor standing in the middle, frowning as she dealt with a group of men trying to flirt with her. She was truly beautiful, with a natural beauty that didn't need makeup. Her features were delicate, especially her small mouth, which made one think of all sorts of things. Her figure was perfect, with curves in all the right places, and the leather armor accentuated her fiery figure. Her long, shapely legs were partially exposed due to the leather armor, and her wild, primitive appearance made the surrounding men's eyes glow. She had a long ponytail and held a white longsword, looking very heroic and graceful.

"I have a longsword suitable for warriors. Can we trade?"

Ignoring the lecherous men around her, Chu Rui pushed through and asked her directly.

"Longsword? What attributes?"

The woman frowned slightly and asked.

"Attack 8-12!"

Chu Rui briefly reported the attack of the Fine Steel Sword he had just obtained.

"Damn, attack 8-12? The iron swords in the weapon shop only have 5-8 attack!"

Hearing Chu Rui's words, many people nearby drooled.

Looking at her own white longsword, which had inferior attributes to the Fine Steel Sword, the woman was quite generous and immediately initiated a trade request without a word.

"Ding, Player Sass requests to trade with you. Do you agree?"
