Chapter Fifteen: Change of Clothes
Xin Yu seems to have forgotten about going for a walk after dinner, and rushed into the room as soon as she finished eating. I was happy to be free, so I glanced at the forum for a while before entering the game.
At my current 11th level, I'm only ranked 87th in China, I really don't know how the top 86 players got there, but it doesn't matter, I'm just here to dig for gold, not to fight for the world.
After returning to the village, I found a professional trainer for thieves.
"Are you willing to take a job as a thief hiding in the dark?"
"Yes!"
"Ding!"
System Prompt: Your talent is not suitable for a thief career, please choose another profession!
What's wrong? What a mess! The assassination career I dreamed of is going to end like this?
I looked around at the mentors of other professions and reluctantly chose Warrior.
"Are you willing to become a warrior? Choose the direction you want to develop! Employment requires two gold coins!"
Looking at the options in front of me, I was completely stunned. Do warriors also have a direction for development?
1. Swordsman
2. Battle-axe Fighter
Currently holding a sword in hand, I naturally chose to be a swordsman.
"Ding!"
System Prompt: Congratulations on becoming the village's first swordsman, reward experience +300!
I was speechless, why is it rewarding experience instead of divine equipment? Still 300 experiences...
After taking office, under my name also appeared a line of small words "Apprentice Swordsman", it turned out that I was just an apprentice...
After getting a job, of course, the next thing is to learn skills, which is also the most expensive place.
Turning to the skill page that can be learned, I found that there are only two skills available for learning. One is "Heavy Blow" and the other is "Combo", each of which requires 50 silver coins.
Heavy Strike: Level 1 increases the damage of this attack by 10%, with higher skill levels resulting in more pronounced attack effects. Skill cooldown time is 10 seconds (i.e., can be used once every 10 seconds).
Combo: Frequent attacks on the opponent, each attack dealing half of its own attack damage. The higher the skill level, the more times it attacks!
They all look good, I've learned them all!
Lost 1 gold coin, but got two level 0 skills in return.
What's next? Of course, leveling up!
It's currently at level 11 and a half, getting to level 12 early and equipping the Songmu Lin giant sword will make a wonderful future seem just around the corner!
Still came to the Wild Wolf Valley, directly towards the area of 11-level monsters, and as expected, all the monsters spawned again. With my two-level upgrade, I now have a certain increase in both attack and defense, so I won't take them seriously. Continuing with the old method, I hid behind the rocks and slaughtered the 11-level wolves one by one. This is probably unimaginable for most players at this stage, as there are not many people who can withstand monster attacks with such high defense. Currently, there is no priest class, which means that potions must be used to withstand monster attacks. Unfortunately, the items in the village pharmacy are ridiculously expensive, and no one can afford them.
The most critical issue is that the game design is very abnormal, there are no level 5, 6, or 7 monsters, after killing a level 4 wild dog, you encounter a level 8 wolf, which is not something a level 4 player can handle. As a result, most players are still killing level 4 wild dogs, and even if they reach level 5, the experience gained from killing wild dogs will decrease, making it even harder to reach level 6. Without reaching level 7 and having good equipment, you basically cannot compete with the level 8 wolf.
Non-stop chopping monsters, 1 hour passed unknowingly, and I also leveled up to level 12 after a red light, immediately equipped with the giant sword of Songshan Forest, and added points to strength, since I practiced as a swordsman, I will go all out to be a power warrior!
With the new weapon, the attack was greatly improved immediately, and my personal attributes were also high to the point where people drooled.

……
A level 12 character actually has three pieces of equipment with decent attributes, which is quite impressive at the moment. At least it's no longer something that most players who are still wandering around at level 5 can imagine.
Wielding a large sword, with my current attack power, I can surprisingly knock out an 11-level wolf monster with over 120+ blood value without even landing a fatal blow. The quality has almost doubled, and four or five knives can solve one 11-level monster. Even the leader of the gray wolves was killed again. Unfortunately, except for money, nothing else exploded. It wasn't until then that I suddenly remembered that when I returned to the village to hand in my job, I even forgot to hand in the task...
I rubbed my sleepy eyes and roughly calculated that I had been online for 18 hours straight. No wonder even a seasoned gaming owl like me felt tired. What surprised me, however, was the MM (female) players who were still with me - upon checking my friends list, all 7 names were still lit up. These guys usually paid attention to getting rest, but now they must have gone completely crazy.
"Beautiful ladies, it's 7:45 PM now, pay attention to rest and go to sleep. Get up early tomorrow!"
I sent out a mass text message and soon received responses:
"Well, I'm going to sleep soon, want me to help you make a cup of coffee?" - This was Lu Xuehan's response.
"Right, go to sleep early, I'll call you at 3 am sharp!" - Xu Lin replied.
"Want me to sleep with you? Alright, let's reschedule the date for tomorrow night, and have a secret meeting tonight, how about that?" —— 555, this is Xinyu's response...
Liu Yun remained as aloof as ever and merely replied with a single sentence: "En, sleep!"
Li Qing was probably being chased by a monster, and his words were intermittent: "Okay, sleep... sleep..."
JOLY said a sentence that made me break out in cold sweat: "Okay, but we can't sleep together~" —— I really don't know how long this guy wants to pretend to be young, already 24 years old, still acting like an innocent little girl every day, heaven knows how many men she has been with...
Compared with JOLY, Guozi even if really tender, simply replied: "Good!" After that, I saw her go offline, looks like she's also reached the verge of collapse.
……
After comforting myself, I returned to the village and pawned my 4-star green greatsword for 20 gold at a dilapidated auction house in the center of the village. I also left my contact number and city on the information sheet before going offline to sleep.
