âLi Xiao Yao, how did you get this level 1 Tigerman? 100% excellence, you arenât deceiving us are you?â Wan Er didnât seem to believe that I had such a high-class pet.
Cheng Yue also said, âYeah, this pet is definitely god-tierâ¦What are those two skills all about?â
I said, â[Violent Sweep], itâs similar to [Heavy Strike], but it is a lot stronger. [Mountain Sink], it adds defense: raises level * 10 defense, which means, a level 40 Tigerman get an extra 400 points in defense. I just got this pet and I also have another 81% Tigerman. You two, do you want them?â
The two beauties went silent for half a minute.
Finally, Wan Er said, âSince you got the pets, Iâll grab some money and buy itâ¦â
âItâs going to be very expensive, and Miss, didnât you say you could only take 50 thousand Yuan from your bank card every month? This 100% superiority Tigerman, itâs worth at least 1000 gold coins, you know that rightâ¦â
Wan Er paused and said, âActually, I have another bank card and thereâs a few million on thatâ¦â
âThen thatâs a done deal!â I clapped my hands, the time to make money had arrived!
Cheng Yue tried to help her friend, âWan Er, donât be so rash. This Tigermanâs attack and defense are 4.5 stars, and it might not be as good as you think. How aboutâ¦we let Xiao Yao give a discount or something in the name of our friendshipâ¦â
Wan Er laughed lightly, âWhat do you say Li Xiao Yao?â
I thought for a while, and said, âActually, me and the Miss have always been in a employer- employee relationship. Look, Miss doesnât let me say her name and with Miss here and Miss there, I feel goosebumps every time I say Missâ¦â
Wan Er giggled, âThatâs fine, just call me like Cheng Yueâ¦â
âOkay, Wan Erâ¦â
âWait, I still feel that this doesnât feel right!â
âSo you two donât want these Tigermen?â
âWe want them, of course we want them. Iâm good now. Weâre heading towards Ba Huang City right now!â
âMmâ¦â
Cheng Yue continued, âHow about this, sell the 100% superiority Tigerman to Wan Er, and sell the 81% superiority Tigerman to me. Also, throw in a discount for us, how about it?â
âThatâs fine, 40% off then. The 100% excellence will be sold for 600 gold coins, and the 81% will be sold for 300 gold coins.â
âExpensive!â Cheng Yue expressed her discontent, âWhatâs so good about these Tigermenâ¦â
Wan Er couldnât help but smile, âCheng Yue you donât understand. The value of the Tigerman isnât in its aid in level grinding, its value is prominent in player killing. The current pets of most players all have explosive attacks, every level when the pets gain 10 points, the points are all put into strength, and that guarantees a good leveling speed. Some also put 5 in strength and 5 in defense, to guarantee a good attack and a good survivability. But this Tigerman, if you put 5 in strength and 5 in defense every level, then when it gets to level 40, its defense will have 500 points, and with [Mountain Sink], thatâs 900 points of defense. With level 40 players and pets, how many can break through 900 points of defense?â
Cheng Yue was stunned, âSoâ¦So thatâs how it is! Fine, Iâll spend a bit of money to buy some gold coins. Li Xiao Yao, weâll get to Ba Huang City in around 90 minutes or so, so you wait a bit!â
âMm, thatâs fine, Iâll wait for you two!â
âOkay!â
â¦â¦
After discussing the prices, I didnât have anything to worry about now since I didnât need this 100% excellence Tigerman. The reason was very simple, what I needed was explosive damage, and not survivability. Under my [Heal], Baby Boboâs HP wasnât any problem unless I met people like Jian Feng Han, who could instantly kill Bobo. Putting all of his stat points into strength, I could also maintain a good leveling speed, so why would I go for extra survivability when what I really needed was a good leveling speed.
Sigh, in this wilderness, I wondered how many people still wanted to kill me⦠If I didnât have Bobo to help me level grind, Iâm afraid that I might still be under level 30 wandering around and who knew how long it might take to rush to level 40 and get promoted the second time? I didnât want to be [Scavenger of Dragon City] for a lifetime, because then all my future held would be âMaster Scavengerâ, and it didnât sound goodâ¦
Whatever, the two beauties still had a while until they reached Ba Huang City, no need to rush, I would grind a bit more first!
I took my sword, and walked in front of Beast Tamer Dalin, and with a burning gaze he appraised me and laughed, âBoy, you are strong enough now, and Iâve already given you the mission of collecting food for passing winter in Dragon City. The long winter lasts for 5 months, and if we donât have enough rations, we wonât be able to pass through it. But not long ago, Iâve received news. In the fertile lands at the south-west of Dragon City, thereâs a farm called âMa Linâs Farmâ. Ma Lin is an experienced hunter, but an extremely strong wild boar invaded the farm. Boy, go to Ma Linâs farm immediately and kill off that wild boar and drag the corpse back, then Dragon City will have 3 more days of food!â
âDing!â
System Notification: Do you accept the B-rank mission ãWild Boar Huntã?
I quickly accepted it. Now that I had the mission, it was very simple. I would find Ma Linâs farm, kill that wild boar, and bring back the meat.
I opened up the minimap, and the location of Ma Linâs farm was already jotted down. It was a trip of around 20 minutes.
I left immediately and after a 20 minute walk through a forest, I reached a land of wilderness, and within that wilderness, a wisp of smoke rose. There was a small wooden house there and in front of the wooden house there were fences surrounded by a few chunks of farmland, but sadly the vegetables such as lettuce in the farmland had already been trampled over. A huge monster was huffing over there!
Looking at the monster, a pang of panic started in my heart. What kind of wild boar was this?! This was like the king of all boars!
Rumbleâ¦
The ground shook and a wild boar of at least 5 tons was trampling all the crops. The fences laced with thorns were being thrown left and right, and the boarâs body was full of spikes now. Surrounding that boar was a layer of fat and I guessed that my sword would have a bit of trouble piercing through that. The boar was at least 2 meters tall, it was basically a living tank!
I inched forward, with my sword in my right hand and looked from a close distance. The huge boarâs stats appeared in front of meââ
ãPrideful Boar Prince - Qiu Fuã (Elite-rank Monster)
Level: 40
Attack: 420-550
Defense: 700
Health: 10000
Skills: [Earthquake] [Brutal Combo]
Description: Qiu Fu is an extremely violent boar. He is the leader of a nearby tribe of boars and has committed countless evils by destroying farmlands. He is one of the wanted targets of Ba Huang City.
â¦â¦
Hehe, an elite-rank monster, this was a mess. His 550 attack wasnât too bad but his 700 defense was pretty hard to deal with. With my armor, I only had 500 or so defense while this guy already had 700. I didnât even know if my sword could pierce through that. Whatever, I would deal with it when it came!
With a whistle, I summoned Bobo. My sword trembled and I used my level 2 [Defense] which increased 2% defense, and level 3 [Haste] which increased 6% attack speed and 3% movement speed. Time to go!
Whoosh!
I leaped over the fallen fences in one jump and from a distance, I flicked my wrist making a golden hexagram appear on my sword. I started with [Combo] and with bangbangbang, I attacked the boar princeâs rock-hard butt. It even created sparks! I had no wordsâ¦
â138!â
â112!â
â117!â
Indeed, it didnât even come close to breaking his defense. My 800 attack couldnât break past his 700 defense. Unless my attack was 20% higher than my opponentâs defense, my attacks couldnât reach their full potential!
Huff huffâ¦
The boar turned around, and with its sharp ivory horns, it suddenly stabbed towards me. It was the [Brutal Combo]!
I raised my sword, but I wasnât able to block it. My 505 defense couldnât go against its 550 attack. With a level difference of 6 levels, this pressure was too high!
Bang bang bangâ¦
A wave of pain entered my chest and after being stabbed by his horns, it really hurt. A chain of damage numbers flew upââ
â312!â
â297!â
â224!â
What a brutal attack!
I got Bobo to attack it and I cast [Heal] on myself with a wave of my hand. Luckily I had 966 HP or else I would have been killed by the first attack. A B-rank mission? No way!
I kept slashing with my sword and struck countless times at the boar, but the max damage I did was only 200 points of damage. How long would it take to kill off this 10000 HP boar?
Wait, that wasnât right. The system wouldnât be that biased, the monster had to have a weak point, such as the eyes, and attacking at that point, I should be able to ignore a certain amount of defense!
Growl!
The boar continued to rush towards me, but this time I was prepared. The instant before it reached me, I dashed right, and slashed at the eyes of the boar!
â478!â
Indeed, I guessed correctly. I could ignore a large portion of defense by attacking vital spots!
Now that I had something to rely upon, my sword started to dance. I cast [Heal] on Baby Bobo and then circled around the boar, stabbing at him with my sword. The boarâs body was very strong and durable but his speed was too low, so his turning speed was also very slow. Even if I didnât have Bobo to divert aggro, I could keep on circling around this elite-rank monster and kill him off.
I raised my head, hm? A short tail fluttered around, and under it was some pink tender skinâ¦this spotâ¦it counted as a weak spot right?
Thinking that, I got excited, and I prepared my sword. With a whoosh, the bottom of my feet started to glow. At the next instant, I used [Strength of a Thousand Men] and kept on striking straight at the princeâs weak spot!
Growlâ¦
This guy cried out, and at the same time 5 damage number flew upââ
â179!â
â201!â
â221!â
â198!â
â779!â
â¦â¦
That last hit was really fierce. Nice!
In the end, after a few combos, the boarâs Health reached its end. Following a desperate cry, my experience bar rose by a huge chunk. Damn, that was nearly 40% of my total experience bar, elite monsters were the real deal!
Whoosh!
The boar fell and also dropped an equipment. It was a shining equipment and even had a trace of a faint gold glow. I immediately rushed forward and picked it up. As I saw the stats, I couldnât help but laugh, was this because of my 29 charm? This was quite the dropââ

Holding the wrist guard, my heart shook from the excitement.
