Chapter Five: Coarse Wrist Guards
After half an hour of effort, I finally gathered 30 mushrooms in my backpack. The more than 50 bottles of medicine water in the backpack were also left with only 10 bottles. Of course, this monster was very generous and directly gave me nearly 4 silver coins. Anyway, it was a good deal!
Back to Xiaohong's side, he took out 30 mushrooms. Xiaohong's face immediately showed a smile: "Great, with these mushrooms, we can have mushroom stewed chicken soup for dinner tonight, thank you, this is your reward!"
What? Mushroom stewed chicken soup, look, can't see it, this little girl's living standard is still pretty good!
"Ding, system prompt: Congratulations on completing the task [Mushroom Collection], you gained 1500 experience points, obtained 10 silver coins, reputation +10, and received the task reward item [Low-quality Iron Sword]!"
A flash of golden light, and I've leveled up to 5!
Low-quality iron sword? What kind of thing is this?
Opening the package, I saw an iron sword quietly lying inside, and suddenly became excited!
Low-Quality Iron Sword (Novice Equipment)
Attack: 3-8
Required level: 5
Haha, it's actually a 5-star weapon! Although it's still low-quality, its attack power is already much higher than the wooden stick in my hand. After all, what I have in my hand is just a trashy product with an attack power of 0-1 that not even street vendors want to sell. Comparing iron sword and wooden stick, even thinking about it with my toes would make me know which one is awesome!
Equipping the gear quickly, I suddenly felt that my entire demeanor had changed, and I already had a pretty good masterful aura about me. After all, even the most awesome player wouldn't be considered a master with a newbie wooden staff! Who knows, maybe I'm the first player in the newbie village to equip an iron sword!
For a moment, vanity inflated extremely, and hurriedly added all the attributes that had just been upgraded to strength. After looking at the attributes, I was very satisfied!
Player: Heartless Swordsman
Rank: 5th rank
Occupation: Novice
Blood pressure: 150
Magic: 75
Attack: 4-28
Speed: 1.5
Physical Defense: 8
Spell Defense: 5
Reputation: 10

Yeah, with full strength and attack points added, it's high, and the weapons are almost breaking through 30 points of attack, but the blood and defense are a bit low. If you encounter some monsters with high attacks, that would be troublesome. It's best to get some equipment that adds defense and blood gas, so that you can develop comprehensively!
To experience the attack, I chose a goblin and slashed it with my sword. As a result, 49 points of damage floated above the monster's head. The goblin immediately counterattacked, dealing only 17 points of damage to me. I was slightly surprised, thinking that with my attributes, killing one would be completely effortless!
Three hits and two hits settled one, of course, I also consumed half of my blood gas. Just thinking of sitting down, a nearly two-meter-tall goblin suddenly appeared in my field of vision. I was slightly stunned. Generally, goblins are only about 1 meter tall, but this one is so freaky. Suddenly, three golden English letters flashed in my mind: BOSS!
Giant Goblin (Newbie Village BOSS)
Rank: 7
Blood: 1500
Attack: 22-35
Defense: 10
……
As soon as I saw this attribute, my heart sank. Its attack and defense had surpassed me in all aspects, especially its HP which was as high as 1500 points, a full ten times mine. Even if I used the more than ten bottles of potion left in my backpack, I'm afraid I still wouldn't be a match for it! Unless I immediately ran back to the newbie village and bought forty or fifty bottles of potion to come back and fight it, maybe then I could defeat this guy!
But when I run back to the new village and then come back, this BOSS is probably already killed by others. The BOSS represents top-grade equipment and a large amount of gold coins, I don't want to come back and cry in front of the BOSS's corpse!
Wealth and rank are precarious, at worst I'll just drop back down a level!
With a fierce cry, he charged forward with his iron sword and struck down at the BOSS's head!
“-27”
NND, as expected this guy's defense isn't low, with my nearly 30 points of attack I only managed to deal over 20 points of damage!
Generally speaking, even if an iron sword were to be chopped down on a person's head with great force, it would still take their life. However, monsters are monsters after all, and this one seemed completely unscathed by the powerful blow I had just dealt!
BOSS immediately turned around, blood-red eyes without any emotion stared at me, looking at my hair standing on end. Damn it, let you take another look, raised the long sword and chopped down!
“-29”
BOSS immediately counterattacked, and a huge claw fell on my shoulder. I only felt a pain in my shoulder, and 35 points of damage flew up from the top of my head. Luckily, with my current attributes, I can withstand at most four hits!
Based on the damage I just took and the potions on me, I came to a conclusion: I'm going to get thrashed by this BOSS! A hero doesn't take unnecessary losses, so I made my decision - run!
Can't fight back, can I still hide? So he turned around and ran!
The goblin BOSS behind me let out a loud roar and chased after me, I ran forward with all my might, but after running for nearly ten seconds, I turned around to see that the BOSS had been left far behind. Since this BOSS's speed wasn't as fast as mine, as long as I utilized my speed advantage and didn't let it catch up to me, wouldn't killing it be an easy task?
Just thinking about it, I couldn't help but feel confident, turned around and killed my way back, one sword slashing at the BOSS's head dealing over 20 points of damage. The BOSS had just raised its paw when I quickly retreated, resulting in the BOSS's attack missing!
My heart is racing with excitement, I didn't know it could be done this way. If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have been so tired from killing those goblins at the beginning. The BOSS wasn't even as fast as me, how could those ordinary monsters possibly surpass me in movement speed?
The BOSS immediately chased after me. Happened to be a big tree in front, with a radius of at least two meters. I smiled and thought, why not go around the big tree?
So I started running around the big uncle, this giant goblin was not much slower than me, and we began to chase each other around the big tree. Originally it was chasing me tightly, but as I ran, I somehow ended up behind the BOSS's back, so I raised my long sword and struck it down at the BOSS's head with all my might.
“-29”
“-27”
Two swords fell, and the giant goblin immediately turned around to kill me. However, based on the principle of finishing and running, I had already started running in the opposite direction around the big tree. The BOSS could only continue chasing me!
I quickly ran to the back of the BOSS and stabbed a sword at the BOSS's butt, the pain of the explosion was not what I could imagine, only knowing that the BOSS immediately let out a mournful cry, turned around and killed me again, while I had already escaped around the big tree!
Then a funny side appeared, one person and one strange creature ran around the big uncle, sometimes the monster chased people, and sometimes people chased the monster. The monster wanted my life, but I was cut down from behind with sword after sword, blood splashing everywhere! It's clear that we can beat it, but somehow we just can't hit it. If this BOSS had some intelligence, it would definitely be frustrated to the point of wanting to smash into a wall!
The BOSS's vitality was beaten down to a tenth by my nearly shameless fighting style, and I started getting excited inside, humph, isn't it just one BOSS? I'll still thrash you until you're searching for your teeth all over the ground!
Once again, I sneaked up behind the BOSS and was about to strike with my sword, but unexpectedly, the BOSS sensed it beforehand and turned around, swiping its paw down at me. In one swift motion, it knocked off over 50 points of my health and sent me tumbling to the ground! Looking into the BOSS's bloodshot eyes, I could feel its rage. Indeed, if I had been beaten up for over ten minutes like that, I would have gone crazy with anger too!
No wonder I lost over 50 HP in an instant, it seems it's because of anger!
I hastily gulped down a bottle of restorative potion, and my blood instantly recovered by over 50 points. Just as I was about to get up, the BOSS swiped its paw at my head. Luckily, I managed to block it with my iron sword, and the impact only dealt around 20 points of damage. It suddenly dawned on me that my previous stance had deflected some of the BOSS's attack power; otherwise, I would have lost even more health!
He hastily got up, swung his sword at the BOSS's head with one hand, and then turned around to run. He continued running around the big tree, while the giant goblin roared loudly in anger. With his intelligence, he couldn't understand what I was doing, even if he did, there was nothing he could do about it - after all, who made him so slow?
The BOSS's blood and energy were worn down by me more and more, until finally under one last sword strike, with a "boom" sound, it fell to the ground!
"Wow!"
A flash of golden light, and I was directly sent to level 6. The experience points given by the BOSS were indeed substantial. As for those small monsters, I estimate that I would have had to kill at least 100 of them to level up!
Gold coins, silver coins and copper coins are scattered all over the ground. These are money! Never mind so much, pick them up all!
Apart from this, two pieces of equipment caught my eye!
Coarse Wrist Guards (Black Iron)
Defense: +6
Power: +3
Required level: 5
Low-quality Greaves (Novice Equipment)
Defense: +3
Required level: 5
Haha, it's actually two pieces of armor, and the first one is even black iron (the equipment grades in Creation are: white, black iron, bronze, silver, gold, dark gold, ghostly, magical, immortal, spiritual, divine, and above that there's super divine and sacred, but I guess I'm not lucky enough to see those!), defense +6, and also adds 3 points of strength. Isn't this exactly what I need? The level 5 inferior wrist guard isn't bad either, directly adding 3 points of defense. Without thinking, I immediately equipped everything, and the result was a huge change in attributes!
