Chapter 5: Dudu Rabbit's Mask

  Two hours of boring slaughter, I have traversed the territory of the demonized mountain wolf, the task of Medicine Master has been completed long ago, and I got the Golden Medicine Cauldron and picked 10 Hemostatic Herbs.

  Look, the level has risen to 8th grade, and the backpack is already full of items. It's time to go back and sort them out, but before going back, complete Village Chief Grandpa's task first.

  The mountain wolf on the right is a piece of land, three or five tigers together basking in the sun.

  "Tactical Insight" reveals: Demonized Tiger: Level 10, 500 HP, Pack.

  Only 500 HP, it seems that a level 10 demonic tiger is nothing special, but what does this "group dwelling" mean?

  I cautiously approached three pack-dwelling demonic tigers, attacking one of the demonic tigers. The other two immediately attacked me, it turned out to be a case of bullying the minority.

  "Insight" is really good, the information provided is very useful.

  -30, -20, still okay, the average attack of the demonized tiger is 25, can withstand it, under my over 100 damage, three tigers annihilated.

  The demonic tiger was originally a group attack, although I developed towards the knight, focusing on defense and blood volume. Three to five tigers attacked together, it's really not easy to deal with, if it wasn't for my strong attributes and skilled gaming techniques, the attack wouldn't be low either. Otherwise, a few single tigers would be really difficult to handle, no wonder the village elder grandfather reminded me to train first and wait until my abilities improved before completing this task.

  "Ding dong, congratulations! Stone City's level has risen to 9. Life increased by 10, magic increased by 10. There are 5 attribute points available for distribution."

  Currently at level 9, I've completed the Village Chief's quest and obtained the tails of 20 demonized tigers. Once I level up one more time, I'll be able to change jobs. At this rate, becoming the first to change jobs shouldn't be a problem.

  Originally wanted to upgrade to level 10 and then return to the village, looking at experience, upgrading from level 9 to 10 is a big step, requiring more experience than leveling up from 1 to 9, and the item slot is already full, unable to store anything.

  Each newly born player has 50 storage slots for storing items.

  Forget it, let's go back first.

  On the way home, players' levels began to show differences. The 8-level demonized mountain wolf had a player activity figure, while the 5-level demonized mouse was crowded with people, and the demonized hedgehog and demonized rabbit were still overcrowded.

  There are so many people!! The small village is bustling with excitement, I hurriedly push through the crowded crowd to complete my task.

  "Blacksmith uncle, I'm back, I've found your golden hammer."

  "With this golden hammer, I can speed up the forging of weapons." The blacksmith took over the golden hammer.

  "Stone Castle completes the Blacksmith's Golden Hammer quest, reputation +10, reward 1 gold coin, Blacksmith rewards Stone Castle with 'Forging' skill, Stone Castle acquires auxiliary profession Blacksmith."

  "Pharmacist uncle, I'm back! Your golden medicine cauldron has been found!"

  "With the Golden Cauldron, I can accelerate the speed of refining medicine." The pharmacist took over the Golden Cauldron.

  "Stone Castle completes the Golden Cauldron task of Pharmacist, reputation +10, reward 1 gold coin, Pharmacist rewards Stone Castle with 'Pharmacy' skill, Stone Castle obtains auxiliary profession Pharmacist."

  "Village head grandfather, I'm back, I've completed my task."

  "Is it Stone Castle? You've completed the task so quickly?" It's clear that the village chief is a bit suspicious.

  "Now, look, this is proof, the demonized tiger's tail." I'm speaking based on real ability.

  "It's really the magical tiger's tail, I didn't expect that Stone City would have such a talented person, completing the task so quickly, it's not easy, it's not easy."

  The village elder said with some surprise, but such pleasant words made someone extremely comfortable, and he was already laughing so hard that his eyes were no longer visible.

  "Hehe, Village Chief Grandpa is overpraising me, I just did my best and eliminated the harm for the people, it's too much praise, too much praise."

  "Player Shi Tou Cheng completes the village chief's quest, killing 20 demonic tigers, rewarded with 2 gold coins and reputation increased by 20. Due to Player Shi Tou Cheng completing the task quickly, exceeding the village chief's imagination, rewards skill 'Fast Blade'."

  "Quick Blade", Level 1, 0/5000, Passive Skill, Attack Speed +1, Movement Speed +1.

  "It's not just this way, it can also be like that."

  "Stone Castle, the fact that you can complete such a task in one go shows that your abilities are extraordinary. It seems that you are the brave warrior I have been waiting for. Our village has a divine spring, but three years ago it was occupied by a black bear. Can you help us take back the divine spring and retrieve the nine vats of divine water?"

  "Alright, no problem, Village Chief Grandpa, I'll take care of it, you can rest assured!!"

  "Stone Castle accepts the mission of God's Spring Water, requiring the killing of Black Bear and retrieving nine vats of God's Spring Water."

  Look at the task prompt:

  "Water of the Altar, a hidden task of medium level. Kill the black bear and obtain the Nine Altars' Spring Water. The spring is located in the forest northwest of the village. If the task fails, the player's level will be reduced to 1."

  Haha, the only hidden task, I finally received it, and I have already imagined the wonderful reward.

  What? Failure, failure punishment is very severe.

  Let me tell you, there is no word "failure" in my dictionary. Moreover, the greater the punishment, the higher the reward, isn't it?

  "Village chief, this task seems quite dangerous. I don't know what kind of abilities this black bear has. Can you give me some hints? I'd like to be prepared." We're not impulsive people, it's better to be prepared.

  "Ever since the black bear occupied our sacred spring, our village has sent several brave warriors, but none of them have returned. We also don't know what abilities this black bear possesses, so you must be fully prepared, Stone Castle."

  No wonder there are only three old men in this village. I wonder if they all went to kill the black bear and didn't come back. I secretly thought: This black bear is not easy to deal with!

  "Village chief, grandpa, this black bear is so formidable. Do you have anything good to give me or lend me to use? It would be great to increase my strength and give me more confidence." Someone shamelessly asked the village chief for benefits.

  "There isn't!" The village chief said indifferently, without giving me any face at all.

  Dizzy...

  "Village chief, grandfather, help me identify these two pieces of equipment." I took out Toto's mask and the treasure map of the rabbit path.

  Newbie village equipment appraisal finds village chief, city has a special appraiser to appraise equipment.

  "You've obtained the Ghost Equipment so quickly, although Newbie Village has a higher chance of dropping equipment, due to the low level of monsters, equipment above Gold is rare. You've actually gotten the Ghost Equipment and this Treasure Map, it seems my judgment wasn't wrong. Stone City, I believe you'll definitely be able to complete this task." Looks like I've surprised the Village Chief again.

  I'm dizzy, your eyesight is still correct, just now it was because of your incorrect eyesight that I was rewarded with the "Fast Blade" skill.

  Of course, this idea can only be thought of in one's mind, and on the surface, he handed over the two equipment to Village Chief Grandfather with a smile.

  "Not bad, both items are good stuff. Identifying these two equipment requires 100 gold coins."

  It's not a robbery, how can it be so expensive? I only have 15 gold coins now, and the main reason is that I got 10 gold coins as a reward when I killed Toto Rabbit. Gold coins are not easy to get.

  "Stone Castle, I'll help you identify these two items for free, so that you can enhance your strength and help us kill that evil black bear." The village elder is really kind-hearted, and I, who was worried about gold coins, almost kissed the village elder.

  The village chief stroked the mask on Dudu Rabbit's face for a while, and a red light flashed, revealing a beautiful rabbit mask that was very delicate and lovely, especially the two big eyes in the mask were extremely cute.

  Tutu Rabbit's Mask: Red Devil Equipment, a precious gift from the Golden Rabbit King to Tutu Rabbit. Requirements: None, Agility 50, Movement Speed +3, Attack Speed +2. Skill: Quick Escape: Can use Town Portal Scroll in combat state.

  It's really good stuff, the attributes brought by the ghost equipment are generally not many, but the attributes are super strong. If used properly, it is not much different from the divine equipment.

  "I didn't think the treasure map of the rabbit's path actually existed. Just now, I saw you take out this treasure map and Toto's mask together, and I had some doubts. It really is unexpected that this thing actually exists."

  "What's this? The village elder sighed and quickly took a look. On it was simply depicted some scenery and landmarks."

  Usa's Path: The only treasure map, depicting the path to the Golden Rabbit King's place. Toto used this map to go on a date with the Golden Rabbit King. This item cannot be dropped.

  It seems like nothing's going on, I looked at Village Chief Grandfather in confusion, isn't it just the map to Boss Golden Rabbit King's place?

  "Stone Castle, you're still young and don't know the terror of this Golden Rabbit King. It's the most feared enemy in Newbie Village." The village elder saw my confusion and began to explain.

  "This golden rabbit king was originally a small boss in the novice village, only slightly larger than an ordinary demonic rabbit and nothing special. However, after returning and luckily obtaining a divine fruit called 'Seven-Leaf Carrot', its abilities greatly increased and it grew strange yellow fur, transforming into the Golden Rabbit King and becoming the strongest boss in the novice village, surpassing even our novice village heroes' abilities. The novice village was almost slaughtered by this golden rabbit king, at that time the novice village was truly terrified."

  It's not like this, such a powerful demon beast, looking at the village chief's painful expression doesn't seem fake.

  "Fortunately, at that difficult moment, the Golden Rabbit King suddenly disappeared, and the New Hand Village was preserved. It is said that the Golden Rabbit King was caught by the lover of the son of the neighbor of the relative of the servant of one of the eight guardians of the Heavenly Demon to be a pet, helping to guard a mysterious place, which is the place depicted in this treasure map."

  Not just relatives, neighbors, or even lovers, this relationship is quite complicated.

  "I heard that the place depicted on the treasure map is especially mysterious, with many strange things. Without the guidance of the treasure map, it's absolutely impossible to reach. Stone City, now that you've got this treasure map, make good use of it! However, beware of that wicked Golden Rabbit King, he's particularly formidable. You shouldn't go looking for trouble until you're at least level 50." The village elder cautioned me.

  "Village chief, grandfather, rest assured, I will work hard and study well, strive to improve every day, and when my strength increases, I will go kill that Golden Rabbit King to avenge the new village." Hehe, we should elevate this theory to a certain height and give it sufficient attention.

  "Good... good... Stone Castle, it's rare for you to have this kind of heart, keep up the good effort..."

  It turns out there's no benefit after all, and Village Chief Grandpa ended the conversation here.
