Chapter 4: Elite Gray Wolf

  "Ahhh..."

  A mournful howl, the gray wolf that had been constantly worn down by Chu Rui finally collapsed to the ground with its life force exhausted!

  "Ding, congratulations on successfully killing the Grey Wolf! Due to your over-level kill, you have gained an experience bonus!"

  "Ding, congratulations on gaining 600 experience points! (Every time you level up, you gain an additional 20% of experience! Grey wolf experience is 300 points, and after leveling up five levels, that's 300*5 levels*20%! A total of 300+300, 600 experience points!)"

  "Ding, congratulations on leveling up to level 1! Please choose the attribute point distribution method! Mode 1: Add one point to each of the four basic attributes and get an additional two points for free attribute distribution! Mode 2: Get 5 points for free attribute distribution!"

  "Select Mode One!"

  Chu Rui couldn't help but laugh out loud as he saw his experience jump from level 0 to 50% of level 1. This killing monsters across levels was really powerful! Just by killing a single wild wolf, he had leveled up by one and a half levels. Those players who could only get 5 points of experience from killing rabbits and needed to kill 20 of them just to get from level 0 to level 1 were really saving an unknown amount of time.

  Open the attribute bar, and two free attribute points were assigned to strength! Originally, Chu Ling was going to add five attribute points according to the warrior's method of adding 3 points of strength, 1 point of physique, and 1 point of agility. No way, what Chu Rui lacks now is attack power, so he can only add strength first. But unexpectedly, the system actually introduced a mode like this, if you choose mode two, it's almost the same as now, but mode one has an extra point of spirit. Although thieves don't have magic attacks, having more attribute points is good after all, and adding a little spirit can increase the MP limit by 10 points and speed up magic recovery!

  After distributing the attributes properly, Chu Rui bent down and picked up the coins that Hu Lang had exploded out.

  Ten copper coins!

  The reward for killing monsters across levels is only ten copper coins, and even buying a small bottle of potion requires 20 copper coins. This system is really crappy. Killing those little rabbits and chickens doesn't drop any items at all. Fortunately, the system isn't completely trashy, as it set newbies' equipment to never wear out. Otherwise, after not too long, many players would be left with nothing to wear, no wooden sword to wield.

  Forget it, if it's just a one-on-one fight with a wild wolf, I won't need to use potions. For now, experience is the most important thing!

  He slightly shrugged his shoulders, put the copper coin into his backpack, and Chu Rui continued to move forward, searching for the next prey!

  Having dealt with a grey wolf before, it's much easier now. With my excellent speed and reaction, as long as I'm not surrounded, taking down just one wolf is child's play!

  After nearly three hours in the gray wolf area, I finally leveled up to level 4!

  Picking up the copper coins and a small bottle of life potion on the ground, Chu Rui plopped down onto the grass. Fighting continuously was exhausting, even with his endurance. In reality, it's easy to say that one stab can be fatal. But in the game, even if you accurately slash open the monster's throat, as long as the damage isn't enough, they'll still be jumping around lively. Although dealing with gray wolves is simple, constantly focusing on slashing at their throats is really exhausting!

  Looking back, there was not even a ghostly figure on the lush green grass. The virtual degree of "Tianyun" is excellent, with the gentle breeze blowing over, Chu Rui not only felt the refreshing sensation of the clear wind on his face, but also clearly saw the swaying green grass. On this sunny day, such a harmonious and beautiful place can really make people feel great. In reality, it's almost impossible to see such scenery. Ecological destruction, poverty and hunger, racial discrimination, resource grabbing, people's numbness... Although there is no large-scale war, in the long run, even without war, humanity's spiritual world will die. At that time, numb people, numb hearts, will inevitably bring about their own demise.

  "Sky Fate", from the very beginning, Chu Rui never thought it was just a simple game. A game developed by the country would be simply a pure game? Using virtual worlds can solve many problems, as for what, it will naturally become clear later on.

  National affairs, Chu Rui is not qualified to manage, nor does he have the mood to manage. However, since he has already arrived in this game world, and this virtual world gives him such a comfortable and enjoyable feeling, then he must strive to become the best. Chu Rui is just that kind of person, if he doesn't do something, it's better not to do it at all, but if he does, he will do his best. Just like when he became an assassin for a promise, he worked hard and became the supreme ruler of the assassination world.

  He stood up, patted his butt, and Chu Rui took a glance around. The gray wolves here had almost been cleared out by him, and he himself was gradually getting familiar with the game world through battles with the gray wolves, adapting to it. His consciousness was also becoming more and more compatible with this virtual body. When he was level 0, he could already take down a level 5 gray wolf. Now that he was level 4, with battle experience, he naturally had to move forward into deeper areas, challenging even stronger monsters.

  After taking a glance at the attributes, after adding points, all aspects have improved. Now if I were to fight the gray wolf one-on-one, I can completely crush it.

  Open the backpack, there are already three silver coins and forty-seven copper coins inside. There are also seven small life potions (recover 100 health points within 10 seconds) and four small magic potions (recover 100 magic points within 10 seconds). It's a pretty good harvest.

  The grey wolf's territory was a small plain, and as they walked past it, the terrain began to rise. On a small hillside, Chu Rui met the grey wolf again, but this time it was bigger.

  Elite Gray Wolf: Level 6, HP 500/500, Attack 70, Defense 15, Speed 2!

  【Passive Skill】Rend: Attacks have a certain chance to cause continuous bleeding damage to enemies!

  Elite monster?

  Chu Rui's eyes narrowed slightly, and he hadn't expected to encounter such a monster as soon as he walked up this small hill, and his heart was boiling with excitement.

  What is it to play games? Everyone has different concepts. But for Chu Rui, playing games is just a thrill. Many people may be timid in reality, but when they enter the game world, they become fearless and absolute warriors. In Chu Rui's mind, there has never been "fear", let alone in the real world, even more so in the game world.

  In the packaging of the game device, the game merchant gave away a book that briefly introduced the basic knowledge of "Tianyun".

  There are several types of monsters: ordinary monsters, enhanced monsters, elite monsters, and BOSS! Enhanced monsters and elite monsters are upgraded versions of ordinary monsters. The strength of the two is not fixed and depends on the degree of enhancement. BOSS is the ultimate monster with high attributes and skills, making it very difficult to deal with. When facing many BOSS, weak players are almost instantly killed. However, the drop rate and equipment rate of BOSS are quite enviable. High-level equipment, high-level items, special items, and other coveted things can be obtained from BOSS, aside from treasure chests and quest rewards. However, in "Tianyun", the BOSS settings are very strict, with few but powerful BOSS, long refresh periods after being killed, and less desirable drops after the first kill.

  So, between the BOSS and ordinary monsters, there are strengthened monsters and elite monsters. These two special monsters are equivalent to a small BOSS. Although they are not as good as real BOSS in all aspects, they are more powerful than ordinary monsters and easier to deal with!

  Looking at the attributes of the elite gray wolf, Chu Rui couldn't help but compare them with his own. In terms of life, attack, and defense, he was naturally inferior, and as for speed, they were roughly the same. However, compared to the elite gray wolf, Chu Rui had a significant advantage - he could use potions. Seven bottles of life potion could restore 700 points of life, and with his speed and awareness, it shouldn't be difficult to take down this elite gray wolf. Moreover, he also had the Wind of Agility, which increased his speed even further. With that, he wouldn't have any pressure in dealing with it.

  Slightly bending his waist, Chu Rui approached the elite gray wolf in the best posture of "retreating to defend and advancing to attack". When he was three meters away from the elite gray wolf, its eyes suddenly changed from being leisurely, turned its head, a pair of wolf eyes staring at Chu Rui, its disgusting mouth opened, revealing the ferocious fangs inside.

  Grass, it's indeed an elite monster, this damn thing's defensive range is actually three meters away!

  "Ahhh..."

  A loud howl, the elite gray wolf revealed its bloodthirsty face and charged directly at Chu Rui.

  So fast!

  The pupil suddenly contracted, and Chu Rui hurriedly dodged to one side. However, due to the close distance and not knowing the elite gray wolf's warning range, even though he dodged the weak point, he was still bitten by the gray wolf's teeth.

  "Ding! You have been bitten by the Elite Gray Wolf, losing 68 points of life. Additionally, you are suffering from a laceration, losing 5 points of life every second for 5 seconds!"

  Damn, that thing took away a third of my health with just one hit. If I hadn't dodged quickly and been hit in the weak spot, it would have been even worse. That was a critical hit on the first try! No wonder it's an elite monster - you can't let your guard down for a second, or else you'll end up being eaten by the wolf instead of killing it!

  Feeling his own vital energy suddenly depleted, Chu Rui was shocked and hastily retreated, without hesitation taking out a bottle of Life-Rejuvenating Elixir and gulping it down.

  Damn it, do you think I can't handle you?

  Looking at the elite gray wolf that was chasing him relentlessly, Chu Rui was furious, but he was wise enough not to provoke it and instead ran away, waiting for his health to recover. The opponent was an elite monster, and if he didn't face it in top condition, it would be easy to get defeated. Not only would players attack weak points and deal critical hits, monsters would too, especially high-level ones. With its already abnormal attributes, if it were to come with weak point damage and critical hit damage, it would be a death sentence! Chu Rui definitely didn't want his first wipe to happen here!

  Ten seconds passed quickly! Chu Rui's health value had also been fully restored, and he glanced at the elite gray wolf that was still chasing after him, his hand tightly gripping the new wooden sword, a cold smile appearing on the corner of his mouth!
