Insufficient balance

  Wild Boar Head: Category: Beast, Level: 5, Grade: 2-Star Elite, HP: 750. The small head of the mountain wild boar group has a larger body and more powerful impact than ordinary mountain wild boars. When sharp teeth hit the target, there is a certain probability of adding a short-term wound tearing effect.

  The newborn wild boar's two front hooves were scratching the ground, its head raised and let out a harsh cry. Ling Chen rushed up directly, his novice sword continuously slashing at its body... He looked down on this kind of small BOSS that would make some intimidating moves after appearing, because such 2B behavior would accelerate their extinction.

  Four attacks, a total of 17 points of life were taken away from the wild boar leader. The wild boar leader's demonstration was only just completed when a strange creature charged towards Ling Chen with a loud roar. Although its running speed was not much different from that of an ordinary wild boar, the oppressive force brought by its larger body was much greater.

  The damage to the wild boar's head made Ling Chen frown slightly, and in the face of the wild boar's fierce charge, he paused for half a second before turning around and running. The wild boar chased after him relentlessly. After running for over a dozen steps, Ling Chen fixed his eyes on a large tree with a trunk as thick as half a meter in front of him, and without slowing down, he charged straight at the tree.

  Bang!!

  It wasn't Ling Chen who crashed into the big tree, but rather the Wild Boar Head. As they approached the tree, Ling Chen jumped forward slightly and did a beautiful backflip off the trunk, flipping over the Wild Boar Head's head. The Wild Boar Head, whose brain couldn't turn quickly enough, crashed right into the tree. His entire body fell backwards onto the ground, with several little stars spinning above his head to represent his dazed state - he had been knocked out cold.

  In a dazed state, any attack is unavoidable. However, Ling Chen did not take the opportunity to rush up, but instead quickly retreated in the direction far away from the wild boar's hatred range, before it recovered from its daze.

  Soon, an ordinary wild boar appeared in his line of sight, and he immediately charged forward, cutting it down with one sword.

  Dealing with these mountain boars, Ling Chen was already in his element. Their attack method was only one type - physical collision. If he were to be hit by this kind of attack, even he himself would feel ashamed to continue existing in this world. After lightly entangling with the boar for a minute, along with another thrust of his novice sword, this mountain boar that had been dizzy from Ling Chen's movements fell to the ground just like its many companions. Ling Chen's experience bar instantly filled up, and the level-up halo floated above his head.

  "Ding... Congratulations, you have leveled up. You are now level 2. Life +10, Magic +10, and you have obtained 5 free attribute points."

  Finally upgraded to level 2, Ling Chen still unhesitatingly added all attribute points to the strength value, and the attack power rose by another 10 points. Then he immediately turned around and rushed straight to the position of the wild boar's head.

  The wild boar's head remained under the big tree, lazily digging at the ground. As soon as it saw Ling Chen approaching, it let out a loud cry and charged forward like an enemy. Ling Chen calmly assessed his surroundings, chuckled to himself, and quickly ran towards another large tree in the distance. The wild boar's head fiercely chased after him, then...

  Bang!!

  Another identical rear-end collision, Ling Chen Luo landed behind the Wild Boar's head, and the Wild Boar's head once again heavily crashed into the thick tree trunk and fainted... Except for the different trees they crashed into, the entire process was exactly the same as when it first got knocked out.

  Ling Chen immediately charged up, and with a ruthless "Full Power Strike", his new sword struck down on it.

  Because the Wild Boar King was in a dazed state, Ling Chen's attacks all hit their mark, and the third sword even landed a beautiful critical hit. Three attacks, directly took away more than one-tenth of the Wild Boar King's life, and after taking three swords, the Wild Boar King finally recovered from its daze, then with raging anger, charged at Ling Chen's body once again. And Ling Chen had already started running away the moment it recovered from its daze.

  The wild boar runs at a speed that surpasses the player's initial maximum movement speed, so under the full-force chase of the Wild Boar King using its "Milk Strength", it gets closer and closer to Ling Chen, then...

  Bang!! It crashed into the big tree it had hit for the first time.

  This time, the wild boar leader was directly knocked over and fell to the ground with its four legs in the air.

  Ling Chen walked over at a steady pace, launching three consecutive attacks and taking away one-tenth of its life again. Then, he immediately turned around and sprinted towards the large tree in the distance at his fastest speed.

  Seven seconds later, the wild boar crashed again in front of that big tree.

  If this wild boar leader had a slightly higher IQ, it wouldn't have been played around by Ling Chen with such a simple method. But if it had enough IQ, it couldn't be called a pig either. In a short period of time, the wild boar leader was taken by Ling Chen to circle between two trees four times, accurately knocking itself unconscious eight times on the two trees. The last time, Ling Chen took advantage of the fire and struck with four consecutive attacks that emptied its life.

  "Ding... You successfully killed a 5-level two-star elite boar leader, reputation +10, gained 10 skill potential points."

  A silver coin fell out from the body of the Wild Boar Head. Ling Chen picked up the coin, then kicked the body away with one foot. As the Wild Boar Head's body moved, two pieces of equipment that shone with blue light appeared before his eyes.

  Iron equipment... still two pieces.

  Ling Chen quickly picked them up. Of these two pieces of equipment, one was an iron wrist guard, and the other... was actually a ring!

  Iron Wrist: Category: Hand Armor, Grade: Iron. Equipment Requirements: Level 5 or above for any profession. Sturdy wrist armor forged from iron. Attributes: Defense +5, Hit +2.

  Added two points of accuracy, a pretty good attribute. If Ling Chen had these two points of accuracy, killing the Wild Boar in the mountains wouldn't have so many "MISS". Unfortunately, it can only be equipped at level 5.

  【Amethyst Ring】: Category: Ring, Grade: Iron. Equipment Requirements: None. A ring inlaid with beautiful amethyst, having a very high appreciation value. It seems to be the lost item of Wang Ji, the owner of the village's tool shop, and was later obtained by the leader of the wild boars, only dropping when the leader is killed for the first time. Attributes: Life +100.

  Ling Chen: *silence*

  Ring, an extremely rare type of equipment, is even more scarce in the early stages. This ring belongs to the iron grade and adds a full 100 points of life value without requiring any equipment conditions, making it a godly attribute in the novice village stage. If Lingchen equips it, his life value will almost double!

  However, the introduction of this ring clearly stated that it was likely to be the lost ring of the prop shop owner. The prop shop owner also mentioned his lost ring when assigning him the task of hunting wild boars in the mountains and said that he had no hope of finding it back... Holding this ring, Ling Chen hesitated for a moment.

  Should I return it to the prop store owner after all?

  This ring, if kept, can greatly increase one's safety when hunting monsters. Even selling it would fetch a high price. Returning it to the item shop owner... will definitely yield a reward, but whether its value exceeds that of this ring is unknown.

  After a moment's thought, Ling Chen put away the ring and ran in the direction of returning to Newbie Village. Newbie Village didn't have return scrolls, so they could only rely on walking to get anywhere.

  The territory of monsters below level 4 is still crowded, and the novice village is also bustling with excitement. Ling Chen rushed to the prop shop and handed over the task to the prop shop owner.

  Seeing him return, the tool shop owner showed great surprise: "Oh! I didn't expect you to annihilate 30 wild boars in the mountains so quickly, it's truly astonishing. Thank you for helping me vent my hatred, here, this is your reward."

  "Ding... You have successfully completed the quest 'Wang Ji's Commission', gaining 500 experience, 2 silver coins, 10 orange potions and 10 blue potions."

  The reward was in hand, but Ling Chen didn't leave. Instead, he took out the purple crystal ring and placed it in front of Wang Ji: "Boss Wang, do you recognize this ring?"

  When Wang Ji saw the pale purple glow in Ling Chen's hand, his eyes widened suddenly. His expression also became excited: "This... this is the purple crystal ring I lost when I was chased by that despicable wild boar a few days ago! Young warrior, where did you get it from?"

  "It fell off from a wild boar's head." Ling Chen replied directly.

  "That's right. This is the amethyst ring I dropped. It was a birthday gift from my wife, and I accidentally lost it. I didn't know how to explain it to her, but young warrior, can you return it to me? I'll definitely give you a generous reward." Wang Ji stared intently at the necklace in Lingchen's hand, saying excitedly.

  Ling Chen didn't hesitate and returned the amethyst ring to his hand.

  He carefully took the amethyst ring and put it away, then looked at Ling Chen again, nodding slightly as he said: "The amethyst ring has a pretty good additional attribute, which should be very attractive to you foreign world warriors who have just entered the Godly Moon World. You didn't take it for yourself but instead returned it, there are really few kind-hearted young people like you who would do this. Here, take this. In the Forgotten Continent, this is a priceless treasure, but in this completely isolated place, its value to me is far less than that of my amethyst ring. I hope it can bring some help to your future adventure journey."

  "Ding... You have completed the only hidden task 'Lost Purple Crystal Ring', reputation +10, obtained quest reward 'Crimson Fruit'."

  Wang Ji gave to Ling Chen was a small fruit, the size of a fingernail, entirely crimson in color. Ling Chen carefully took it over, and when he saw its properties, his hand slightly trembled.

  Crimson Fruit: The fruit that grows on the Crimson Tree of Lava. Extremely rare and precious. Permanently increases life by 100 after consumption.
