Chapter 21: Golden Dagger, Skill Book

  "Newbie Village?"

  Ye Zi Feng was taken aback for a moment, he wasn't a fool, after thinking about it briefly, he understood the meaning behind Xiao Xiao's words.

  "Unbelievable! You and Tiantian have become so formidable? You've even defeated the Greedy Wolf and sent it back to the city?"

  Ye Zi's mouth was wide open in shock as he stared at Sa Sa with a faint smile and Tian Er with a sweet smile.

  "We, of course, can't!" Sa Sa shrugged with a very nonchalant attitude.

  "Hey, Crazy Brother, let me tell you! It was that cunning and resourceful guy who helped us deal with the greedy wolf!"

  Looking at Ye Zifeng's bewildered face, Tian'er jumped out and said with a proud smile. It seemed like she had just settled the Greedy Wolf.

  "Guixu? That... Guixu?" Ye Zifeng was shocked again. Could it be that Greedy Wolf really offended the Lonely Star? That Guixu was their nemesis. The game had only been open for two days, and yet they had been wiped out twice by his hand. This time, Greedy Wolf-Broken Army would surely cry. They had lost levels, equipment, and most importantly, they had fallen far behind. It might be possible to climb back up, but it was basically impossible to take the lead again.

  "Hmph! That guy is so infuriating, with his cold and icy demeanor, always acting like others owe him money. Tian'er hummed in discontent, her hands full of resentment."

  "Alright. After all, it was they who saved us. Otherwise, not only would we have gained nothing, but we might have even lost a level." He patted Su'er's somewhat rounded face and comforted her.

  "What? Did you guys beat up the boss too?" Upon hearing Sa's words, Ye Zifeng was shocked once again.

  "It was that ice block that hit us, humph, it robbed our BOSS!" Tian'er pouted, looking very unhappy.

  "Greedy Wolf had worn down the BOSS to residual blood, and then killed it with a sinister hand! However, he only took one piece of equipment, leaving all the rest for us. All in all, it was not bad, we got one gold coin and three pieces of equipment, as well as a complete Slime skin."

  Xiao Xiao laughed and explained, while Tian Er on the side also took out the spoils of war.

  "One green equipment, two blue equipment, they are all colored equipment. No wonder it's a BOSS, only dropping good stuff."

  After taking a look at the properties, Ye Zi Feng couldn't help but laugh.

  "Let's go! Slime skin is enough, there's nothing good to stay here, go to other places to level up! Today must be upgraded to 8th level!"

  Pinched Sweetie's cheek, and then rushed to Yezi Feng with a wave goodbye, before leaving.

  "Xiao Sa, come with us to kill crocodiles. With so many people, even an 8-level monster shouldn't be a problem. There are almost no one there now, and the experience is high."

  Ye Zi Feng's words made Xiao Xiao hesitate for a moment, but she still agreed. Forming a team to level up is naturally more efficient, and upgrading to level 10 as soon as possible is the best way to leave the newbie village.

  ………

  "Ding, player Autumn Maple Leaf has requested to add you as a friend, do you agree?"

  Chu Rui, who was in a hurry in the village of Cao, suddenly received a system prompt.

  Autumn maple leaves?

  Slightly stunned, Chu Rui couldn't remember knowing such a person!

  After some thought, I still agreed.

  Maple leaf in autumn: "Brother Gui Shou, thank you for saving my sister!"

  "Who are you?"

  Maple leaf in autumn: "I am Yezi Feng, I had a chance encounter with Brother Gui Shou yesterday! Oh, right, Sa Sa and Tian Er are my sisters!"

  "It's just convenient!"

  "Ha ha, I won't say more for now. Hope to have the chance to collaborate with Brother Gui Shou in the future. Won't disturb you anymore!"

  He closed the communication bar. Chu Rui was a little surprised that Xiao Sa was Ye Zifeng's sister, but he didn't take it to heart. He quickened his pace and returned to the village.

  "Sly Hand Warrior, thank you so much! I didn't expect that not only did you help us eliminate a lot of gray wolves, but you also killed the elite gray wolf and the wolf king. From now on, our village doesn't have to worry about wolf attacks anymore." Just as he arrived in front of the village chief, Chu Rui hadn't even opened his mouth yet when the village chief spoke with gratitude and tears in his eyes.

  "Village head, it's nothing, I should do it." Chu Rui awkwardly waved his hand and then asked with a somewhat embarrassed tone: "Then village head, my reward..."

  "Oh, right! Look at this old fool!" The village chief slapped his forehead and looked at Chu Xue with a serious expression, saying: "To thank the cunning hero for his contribution to our village, all villagers unanimously agree to give this to you!"

  "Ding! Congratulations on completing the task - clearing the wolf infestation. You have received a subsequent reward - a mysterious wooden box!"

  The reward for clearing the wolf plague is 30,000 experience, 100 newbie village contribution points, and the village chief's mysterious reward! The first two were already obtained when the gray wolf king was killed, so this wooden box should be the village chief's mysterious reward.

  Opening the wooden box, two items caught Chu Rui's eye!

  A dagger emitting a faint glow, a tattered and worn-out book!

  Ghostly Dagger: Golden equipment, Attack 35-58, Critical Hit 3%! Requires Level 10! Durability 20/20!

  Addition: Strength 10

  Passive Effect: Toxicity - Attacks have a certain chance to poison enemies, reducing their resistance and HP.

  【Active Skill】Ghostly Strike: Consumes 30 MP, swings a dagger to slash the enemy's body, dealing 150% damage and forcibly adding poison, with the poisoning effect varying depending on the damaged area!

  Golden equipment?

  Grass is golden equipment!

  Seeing the dagger emitting a faint blue glow in his hand, Chu Rui almost fainted from happiness. He didn't expect the village chief's mysterious reward to be so powerful, and he got such an awesome dagger! The attack is much higher, and it also comes with a critical hit effect, adding 10 points of strength, which is equivalent to 10 points of attack. Moreover, the passive effect of poisoning, active skill of strong attack consumption. This dagger is simply a divine weapon in the current player's average level of 5.

  Killed the Wolf King and got three pieces of equipment. I was already very excited, but unexpectedly, the task reward is so powerful, with a super strong dagger. This is not all, there is also a tattered skill book that can be used with golden equipment, it must not be a useless skill.

  Backwater Battle: Throw out the dagger in hand and deal massive damage to enemies! Requirement: Thief profession!

  A brief introduction, nothing out of the ordinary, but it's exclusive to thieves only.

  Without hesitation, a snap of his fingers and the skill book instantly transformed into a golden light that surged into his body!

  Golden?

  Chu Rui's mouth suddenly opened wide!

  It's not just equipment that has grades, skill books are the same! The golden glow in skill books is equivalent to the gold grade of equipment!

  Eagerly opening the skill bar!

  Backwater Battle: Active skill, consumes 30 MP, throws the dagger in hand to deal 200% intensity damage and additional fixed damage based on dagger attack power to enemies, with a critical hit rate of 50% (fixed rate, unaffected by other equipment effects). The thrown dagger cannot be recovered! Cooldown time is 30 minutes.
