Chapter 16: Saving Wang Xiaoming

  Insufficient balance

  "Iron Master, here are the 100 wolf fangs you wanted." Ling Chen entered the iron forge and handed over the 100 wolf fangs to the blacksmith.

  "Oh! You've actually completed the task so quickly." The blacksmith took over 100 wolf fangs, looking at him in surprise. With just one glance, he could tell that Ling Chen was only at level 3 now. Being able to complete the task this quickly at this level truly surprised him.

  "Right, Iron Master, if it's for making forging materials, wouldn't these wolf fangs be even better?" Ling Chen took out the nine sharp teeth that the evil wolf leader had exploded and placed them in front of the blacksmith.

  "This is... oh! These are the sharp fangs that only a wolf leader would have. If I use them to forge, I can definitely cast an even sharper weapon. Young brave warrior, you actually killed the wolf leader, it's really surprising." The blacksmith showed a surprised expression. He looked at Ling Chen again and thought for a moment before saying: "With a third-level state, killing at least 100 wolves and also killing the wolf leader, it seems that you are a true brave warrior. I originally prepared to give you an iron short sword as a reward, but such an ordinary weapon doesn't seem suitable for you. If you're willing to give me these sharp fangs from the wolf leader, I can immediately forge a better weapon for you."

  "Ding... Will you give the nine pieces of [Sharp Wolf Fang] to the blacksmith and have him forge an unknown weapon for you?"

  Without hesitation, Ling Chen immediately agreed and handed over all his sharp teeth to the blacksmith.

  The blacksmith nodded: "Very good. I need some time to cast, but not too long, come find me in two hours, and hopefully I can give you a surprise by then."

  The blacksmith finished speaking and turned around, continuing to be busy in front of the forge.

  "By the way, Iron Master, what's with that old man living in the innermost house? Do you know his background?" Ling Chen asked, and once again, the scene of the old man slapping out a terrifying injury appeared in his mind. That scene shocked many players, including himself.

  The blacksmith didn't turn around, and said in a flat tone: "I don't know, except that he's a madman. Nobody in the village knows anything about him. He's terrifying when he goes crazy, so never try to get close to him."

  Not having obtained any useful information, Ling Chen could only give up and after glancing at the time, he got off at the blacksmith's shop.

  As usual, he made dinner for Ling Shui and fed her, then played video games with her for over an hour, and finally took a bath with her... He repeated this meticulous care every day, just like taking care of his own beloved daughter. When night fell, he gently held Ling Shui's soft body and watched her fall asleep peacefully. Three years ago, she contracted Isoluka, and two years ago, her parents, who also contracted the Isoluka virus, passed away one after another. That was the darkest and most desperate period of Ling Shui's life. During that time, she could only fall asleep by leaning on Ling Chen's chest... Gradually, this became a habit that she couldn't change. For two years, every day was like this.

  Lying flat on the water's edge, Ling Chen closed his eyes, not falling asleep, but re-entering the world of "Divine Moon". To complete the task entrusted by the owner of the prop shop, he needed 1000 wolf teeth, which meant that he had to fight hard in the Wolf Cliff for a long time. However, now the average level of players was approaching four, and at the latest tomorrow, the Wolf Cliff would no longer be deserted, but would be flooded with many players who were leveling up or doing tasks. At that time, it would no longer be his own territory, and the speed of collecting wolf teeth would also slow down by an unknown number of times. So he decided to fight through the night after some thought.

  In a flash of white light, he appeared in the ironwork shop that had gone offline earlier. Seeing him appear, the blacksmith stopped his movements, wiped off the hot sweat on his body, and smiled as he said: "Young warrior, you've come just in time, your weapon has just been forged, here, take this, I believe it will satisfy you."

  The blacksmith handed him a short sword with an icy cold glow after he finished speaking.

  "Ding..." The sound of the blacksmith's task completion and special reward notification echoed in Ling Chen's ears, as he took over the short sword with a cold gleam, looking at its attributes.

  【Wolf Tooth Sword】: Category: One-handed sword, Grade: Bronze, Equipment requirements: Level 5 and above for any profession. A short sword made of sharp wolf teeth and fine steel, extremely sharp. Attributes: Attack +18, Strength +3, Critical Hit Rate +1%.

  It's actually a bronze-grade weapon! Ling Chen was thrilled. To think that with the pitiful drop rate of , on the first day of the game, players could already be proud of getting a piece of iron equipment, and if they had a piece of bronze equipment, they would attract envious glances wherever they went. As for silver equipment... the probability of it appearing in the newbie village stage was basically negligible.

  Ling Chen now has two pieces of bronze equipment on him, unfortunately, both require level 5 to equip.

  Thanking the blacksmith, Ling Chen walked out of the blacksmith's shop and rushed towards Evil Wolf Cliff.

  He was most clear about his physical condition, only needing two or three hours of sleep per day to be fully sufficient. Moreover, during the game process, the brain is in a half-asleep state, ordinary people even if they don't go offline for several days and nights won't have too much of an issue. So, although it was already evening, the online population of "Shén Yuè" had almost no decline. Wherever Ling Chen went, the crowd was still densely packed... at least more than the number of monsters.

  During the day, he needs to take care of Shui Rou. He has decided that his gaming time will be mainly concentrated at night from now on. He and Shui Rou sleep together, when Shui Rou needs him, she just needs to touch him lightly, he will sense it, and then immediately go offline.

  As he entered the eastern outskirts of Newbie Village, Ling Chen could barely see any players. This made him let out a slight sigh of relief. He quickened his pace and arrived at Evil Wolf Cliff. However, when he got there, he found that there wasn't even one evil wolf at the edge. Before he could feel puzzled, a terrified scream suddenly came from beside his ear.

  "Save me... Save me!!"

  Ling Chen looked up towards the top of the cliff. A young man, dressed in coarse clothing and appearing to be only fifteen or sixteen years old, was desperately fleeing on all fours, with five ferocious wolves hotly pursuing him from behind. With his path blocked, he could only run frantically towards the top of the cliff, but there were even more wolves waiting for him up there, and once he was forced to the edge of the cliff, it would be a dead end.

  Huh? That's a player... no, it doesn't seem so. That is...

  "Ah!! Warrior... warrior!! Please save me, I will definitely repay you!!"

  That person caught sight of him and suddenly shouted at the top of his lungs, hoarse. A prompt tone suddenly sounded in Ling Chen's ear.

  "Ding... You have triggered the quest 'Rescue Wang Xiaoming'. Quest properties: Random, Quest deadline: None, Quest content: Rescue NPC Wang Xiaoming from danger and escort him back to Novice Village's item shop. Quest reward: Unknown."

  Hello Xiao Ming

  Random quests are a type of ordinary quest, but they are clearly different from regular quests. Because their appearance does not have a fixed location or routine, but appears randomly according to the situation at the time, and this kind of quest is not always available after it appears, but will disappear within an indefinite period of time, and this time is generally very short. For example, the task of saving Wang Xiaoming will only exist until Wang Xiaoming is bitten to death by the evil wolf. If no one goes to receive or appear before that, the task will naturally disappear... If people are bitten to death, it's impossible for the task to still exist.

  Bang... Wang Xiaoming, who was fleeing in a panic, tripped over a stone in front of him while turning his head to shout, and fell to the ground in a sorry state. He turned his head around, looking at the wolf's approach with terror. Given Ling Chen's current distance from him, it was absolutely impossible for him to rush forward to save him. Ling Chen quickly moved forward, his eyes scanning the surroundings rapidly, then he swiftly picked up five broken stones by his feet and threw them forcefully towards the front while running.

  Five stones drew out five different trajectories, all of which flew towards a ferocious wolf like they had grown eyes, and then hit the wolf with unerring accuracy.

  Throwing one stone to hit the target is nothing, throwing two stones to hit two different targets is already remarkable... and in rapid movement, throwing out five stones to hit five rapidly moving targets... this can only be described as shocking and astonishing.

  -1,-1,-1,-1,-1。

  The five wolves that were hit turned around at the same time, and their hatred was also concentrated on Ling Chen at the same time. They let out a loud roar and charged towards Ling Chen together.

  Although there were five of them, they posed no threat to Ling Chen. He charged forward and struck each one down with his new sword, and within two minutes, all five wolves lay defeated at his feet.

  Ling Chen picked up the evil wolf's fang and copper plate from the ground and walked towards the NPC who was still in a state of shock, saying: "Are you okay?"

  Wang Xiaoming stood up from the ground, patted the dust off his body, and said with a pale face: "It's okay, it's okay. I was really scared to death just now. I thought I was going to be bitten to death by those vicious wolves. I just wanted to pick two rare herbs at the edge of the cliff, but unexpectedly, two vicious wolves came out of their territory and attacked me. Luckily, I ran fast. Hero, thank you so much for saving me... My heart is still racing now, and I'm a bit afraid to walk alone through those monsters' territories. Can you escort me back home? My home is in the village's tool shop."

  So this is the young son who often goes to pick herbs near Evil Wolf Cliff, as mentioned by the prop shop owner.

  Ling Chen immediately chose to agree, then escorted Wang Xiaoming back to Xinshou Village.

  Back safely in Novice Village's item shop, Wang Xiaoming immediately pounced in front of the item shop owner, Wang Ji, and was so scared that he almost popped out tears: "Dad!! It's really great to see you, I almost never got to see you again just now."

  "What's going on?" The owner of the tool shop was startled.

  "I just went to the edge of the evil wolf valley to pick herbs when I was attacked by an evil wolf, and almost died in its mouth. Luckily, this brave warrior appeared in time to save me and escorted me back. If it wasn't for this warrior, I really wouldn't have come back..." Wang Xiaoming recounted what had just happened with an excited expression.

  Having learned what had just happened, the owner of the tool shop was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat. He turned to Ling Chen and said with gratitude: "Thank you, young hero, thank you for saving my son. As a reward, I am willing to give you all my collections over the years, they should have belonged to a brave warrior like you."

  After finishing speaking, the owner of the Taoist tool shop took out the hidden Taoist tools he had shown to Ling Chen earlier and traded them all to him.

  "Ding... You have successfully completed the task 'Rescue Wang Xiaoming'. Since Wang Xiaoming did not suffer any harm throughout the process, your completion rate is perfect. You will receive the highest reward. Reputation +10, Gold Coins +20, Experience +900, obtained [Wang Jie's Special Power Potion] x10, [Wang Jie's Special Magic Potion] x10, [Wang Jie's Special Accuracy Potion] x10, [Wang Jie's Special Speed Potion] x10, [Wang Jie's Special Life Potion] x10. Obtained special equipment [Blessed Blue Sapphire Necklace]."

  "Ding... Task 'Wang Ji's Commission ②' has been automatically cancelled."
