Mission Statement: Help the village chief. Exterminate the wolves at Wild Wolf Valley located east of the village. Bring back 50 Wolf’s Teeth to the chief! Be careful, it would be best if you find some companion to finish this task, these wolves are very fierce. Many village finest men had been bitten to death by these wolves!
This mission was more difficult. Not only the level of the wolves were higher, but the village chief also indicated the need to form a party. I placed this mission aside for now and looked for other missions.
Mission Statement: Ahua, a villager, has planted many tomatoes on the hillside. But recently, wild wolves often appear outside the village. Please collect 10 tomatoes for Ahua.
Mission Statement: Kill 20 wild dogs outside the village. Collect their teeth and deliver them to village guard Harker!
…
Collecting fruits and killing wild dogs should not be a problem. Anyway, killing wild dogs could make you level up quite easy, while doing missions would also made you level up fast. The mission reward was 200 EXP while killing a level 1 monster would give you 10 EXP. Doing missions would double the leveling up speed.
At some distant field, many players were busy killing monsters. I would not go there and disturb their practice (most of them were groups, and s.n.a.t.c.hing their prey could result in being PKed). So I circled the village and from the east side went to the woods. In the distance, I could already see Ahua’s tomato field.
After killing several wild dogs without a single drop of wild dog’s teeth, I was feeling a little depressed. Was this mission toying me?
Further away into the woods, I noticed that the wild dogs I had killed so far were level 1 monsters. But here were level 3 monsters: Ferocious Dog!
Silently, I rushed out to attack with the damaged sword!
“3!”
The red numbers made me cautious. This level 3 dog defense was much higher than the level 1 dogs. With me currently at level 2, my hit would usually caused 5 damage points.
This level 3 ferocious dog had 50 HP that I had to hit 17 times to make the kill. Meanwhile, it also bit me often. Although I only lost 2 HP each time, by the time I killed the dog, my own HP had also dropped to the bottom line.
Experience Points +30!
Flipping the dog’s corpse, I discovered 14 copper coins, a tooth, and a tattered armor. I picked it up and look at the attributes:
Wild Dog Fur Armor (white equipment)
Defense: +5
This was better compared to my damaged coat. At least the Defense rose quite a bit. I equipped it immediately. Later on when I reached level 10 and chose the Thief cla.s.s, I would only be able to wear leather armor anyway. But on a second thought, wouldn’t it be pitiful if I was still only wearing this by the time I reached level 10?
