Bab 9: Chapter 9: Dealing with Wild Wolves
"Ding! The item you had listed at the auction house has been successfully sold to a player for a total of 30,000 yuan. After deducting a transaction fee of 4,500 yuan, the remaining 25,500 yuan has been transferred to your registered bank account."
"What the heck, why did the price increase?" Wu Shaochen exclaimed as he opened the transaction record. "This doesn't make sense!" Logically, the second equipment should not be worth as much as the first one, which was even a weapon. Why did the price increase? Wu Shaochen couldn't understand. He was just about to list it at a fixed price of 15,000 yuan, luckily he didn't in the end.
He quickly checked his bank account balance and burst into laughter when he saw 43,900 yuan in it. To be honest, he had never seen so much money in his life before; it felt like a dream come true.
"Bang!"
Just as Wu Shaochen was daydreaming, he heard a loud bang. He was sent flying, hitting a tree and seeing stars above his head, feeling dizzy for a moment.
-90
"What the hell, you're ambushing me, you can't handle it! You little piece of trash!" Wu Shaochen cursed. He was so distracted by the money that he forgot he was in the middle of fighting monsters. After killing so many wild boars, he finally tasted the taste of a wild charge.
While Wu Shaochen was still dizzy, he was nudged by a wild boar again.
-55
Fortunately, Wu Shaochen's health was now at 230, which was much higher than when he was level 3. He had already returned to the city, so for now, he could relax.
Wu Shaochen turned around, swung his sword at the wild boar, and muttered, "Damn, it hurts so much. Even a 5% pain feels so painful. Did I hit my kidney?" He glared at the wild boar following behind him, knowing it was doomed.
Under the torment of Wu Shaochen's toxins and trash talk, the wild boar finally met its end after enduring for two minutes. It dropped two copper coins, a fang, and an equipment piece.
"Huh, this equipment dropped pretty quickly. Seems like it's compensation for me," Wu Shaochen said as he picked it up and examined it.

Most of the defensive equipment is ready, a full set of wild boar gear. It's a pity it's not a set, but it seems that wild boars don't drop accessories. However, it doesn't matter, for Wu Shaochen, attack doesn't matter much, defense is more important.
Looking at the current attributes, Wu Shaochen frowned. These attributes might not be enough to fight against the wild wolves. But now that he has equipped all the defensive gear, the only way to improve is to level up, but that would be meaningless.
Wu Shaochen calculated again. The wild wolves have 4,000 HP, and the poison damage is 16 points. It would take five doses of poison to kill one wild wolf, which means enduring five attacks. If it were normal attacks, it wouldn't matter much. With defense subtracted, he would only take 98 points of damage. With the current healing rate of 2 points per second, 50 seconds would be enough. However, if he were hit by a skill, it would be 155 points of damage, which is still manageable. The main concern is triggering the bleeding effect, as being in a bleeding state doesn't count as being out of combat. It would take an additional ten seconds after the bleeding ends to start healing again, so he would only recover 80 HP in 40 seconds. In that case, he would have to rely on health potions.
Looking at the six bottles of Minor Health Potions in his backpack, Wu Shaochen made up his mind. "Let's do it, worst case scenario, I'll drink potions. If I can kill even one, it's something. It would be great if my talent can give me a little boost."
With his decision made, Wu Shaochen immediately got up and headed towards the area of the wild wolves. He quickly crossed the boar forest and arrived at the wild wolf plain, feeling a bit anxious as he looked at the groups of wild wolves.
Pulling monsters is also a skill because you don't know the aggro range of the monsters. It's quite difficult to pull just one. But it's a good thing that Wu Shaochen is now much faster than the wolves. If he pulls too many, he can always run back to the boar forest, as the monsters won't chase him beyond their territory.
Step by step, Wu Shaochen approached the nearest few wild wolves, trying to pull one out. Soon, he entered the aggro range of the wolves, and four or five of them started chasing him.
"Oh damn, so many!" Wu Shaochen quickly ran back to the boar forest, and after a while, the wolves slowly walked back.
This way, Wu Shaochen kept trying. After more than ten minutes and countless attempts, he finally encountered a lone, foolish wolf that followed him.
Wu Shaochen showed a nightmarish smile as he watched the approaching wolf and raised his hand for a strike.
-1
-16
Perhaps the smile on Wu Shaochen's face made the wolf feel insulted, as it immediately bit him.
-155
"Ding, you have been affected by the bleeding effect, losing 5 points of health per second for 10 seconds."
"Wu Shaochen cursed in his heart. What kind of luck is this? He was immediately hit."
Wu Shaochen quickly ran away, leading the wild wolves in circles. He took out a bottle of red potion from his backpack and drank it with a pained expression on his face. The drop rate of this thing was so low that drinking one bottle meant having one less bottle.
Timing it right, when the poison was about to disappear, Wu Shaochen struck the wild wolf again. The wild wolf retaliated with a claw, luckily it wasn't a skill. Wu Shaochen breathed a sigh of relief.
Unfortunately, his joy didn't last long. On the third attack, he was bitten again and, unfortunately, triggered the bleeding effect once more.
"This bleeding effect is supposed to have a 50% chance, why do I keep getting hit?" Wu Shaochen gritted his teeth and drank another bottle of red potion. It wasn't cost-effective to use two bottles of potion for just one wild wolf.
The fourth attack was a normal one, and he safely made it through. On the fifth attack, he was bitten again, but luckily, it didn't trigger bleeding. Even if the bleeding effect was triggered on the last attack, he wouldn't need to drink a potion anymore. He could just wait a bit before luring another wild wolf.
Soon, the first wild wolf met a bitter end and fell to the ground.
"Ding, you gained 40 experience points for killing the [Wild Wolf]. For every five levels, you gain an additional 20 experience points."
"Ding, your talent ability has been triggered, increasing poison damage by 1 point."
It's been a while since I heard this notification. I really miss it. Although I wasted two bottles of red potion, hearing this notification makes it all worthwhile.
Running to the side of the wild wolf's corpse, Wu Shaochen discovered that the wild wolf was quite generous. It dropped four copper coins and a wolf claw, which had a description similar to a wild boar's tusk. When he returned to the village, he would check if there were any quests he could turn in.
But this wild wolf gives quite a lot of experience. If I continue like this and kill six more, I can level up. That means I can only increase my talent by a maximum of six points. It's really annoying. Why make the experience so high?
Embarking on another journey to lure monsters, luckily, it was quick this time because a gap appeared when a few wild wolves were lured away. It was easy to lure another one out.
After increasing his talent to 17 points, Wu Shaochen only needed to attack the wild wolf four times instead of five, saving him one attack. Unfortunately, Wu Shaochen's luck wasn't great. Out of four attacks, three were skill attacks, and two of them caused bleeding. Wu Shaochen could only drink two more bottles of red potion with a pained expression, cursing the entire wild wolf family.
As the wild wolf fell to the ground, his talent increased by one point, reaching 18. However, looking at the two bottles of potion left in his backpack, Wu Shaochen didn't dare to continue. If out of four attacks, three were skill attacks with bleeding, then it would be game over. Although this probability was low, Wu Shaochen felt that it was quite likely to happen to him. He felt that the main brain had ill intentions towards him.
Forget it, let's go back to the village and buy some potions. He wasn't interested in hunting wild boars anymore. If he wanted to hunt, he would hunt wild wolves. Looking at the over 200 copper coins in his backpack, Wu Shaochen whispered.
