Chapter 3: Can Wolf Repellent Spray Stop a Giant Wolf?

Fact proves that Transcendents also need sleep; when Mu Yi calmed down from excitement, the sun was already high in the sky.

After tossing and turning for most of the day, when Mu Yi woke up again, it was already afternoon; watching the sunset, he felt he had gotten a bit over‑excited.

After reason regained the high ground, Mu Yi began to consider his future development direction.

First, he carefully studied all the Comprehensive Network information currently visible to him.

Of course he wouldn't miss it; that obviously looked like a career bonus, the Military Soul Secret Technique: for each Elite Talent he gains, he will derive one Basic Talent from the Elite Talents.

The effect of drawing a Basic Talent is far less flashy than that of an Elite Talent.

Within a cluster of red‑light‑emitting points, various phantoms continually appeared and finally stalled.

"Draw successful, you have obtained Basic Talent—Giant Strength!"

"Giant Strength Talent Effect: Strength +1"

With the information prompt on his retina, Mu Yi felt a warm current suddenly surge through his body; he clearly sensed that this power was gathering from all around into his body.

A feeling of fulfillment and power arose slowly but firmly with the appearance of the warm current.

Mu Yi had studied the most basic attribute explanation; he knew the Comprehensive Network's attribute points are not simply 1+1=2.

Rather, each point added counts as a 0.5× increase; that is, 11 points of Strength is 1.5 times 10 points of Strength.

Thus the change brought by one point of attribute is immediate.

After finishing everything, Mu Yi took out his notebook and began to record his thoughts; although his phone would be more convenient, he preferred this tangible feeling, which could make his train of thought more coherent.

As time passed, Mu Yi also sorted out all the current content clearly.

First is the so‑called Newbie Dungeon; Mu Yi drew a circle around it, obviously this will be the starting point of everything.

And preparing to enter a dungeon naturally requires a reliable set of equipment.

Given the situation of the Celestial Dynasty, he probably couldn't obtain firearms, so he could only work on cold weapons.

So the question arises: what exactly is a Goblin?

Mu Yi, steeped in second‑dimensional subculture, certainly knows what a Goblin is, but the question is which kind.

One must know that the range of this thing is huge; perhaps simply a group of green‑skinned dwarves under half a meter tall, formidable ones are the monsters among Goblin Slayers, and even more extreme could be a green horde shouting WAAAGH.

Setting aside the possible Goblin chief of 2.4 meters, the dungeon also contains Goblin Mages.

Since they're called mages, they can surely toss a fireball.

Since it involves the magical aspect, its upper and lower limits are both extremely unstable.

However, considering it's a Newbie Dungeon, Mu Yi tentatively set the enemy as a humanoid Goblin roughly his size.

Why not give it a try first?

Mu Yi suddenly had a bold idea; at this moment rational thought didn't seem to have the upper hand, and the burning fire in his heart needed something to quell it.

He certainly wasn't crazy; rather, he discovered another piece of information in the dungeon mechanics.

"Comprehensive Network Newbie Hint: In the Weekly Free Dungeon and some dungeons without true transmission hints, after a player character dies they will return to the Main Material Plane and fall into a soul weakness state of varying duration."

When safety is not threatened, people tend to habitually develop toward the direction of seeking death.

This is also why there are so many keyboard warriors online but so few in reality.

Mu Yi felt somewhat itchy to act, but after long consideration he still gave up.

The suffocating feeling when drawing an Elite Talent eventually extinguished his urge to court death.

He honestly opened Taobao and began to select his weapon.

……

Spare no expense, Mu Yi bought express delivery; an inch of time is an inch of gold, money cannot buy time, but it can often save you waiting time.

"Wolf Repellent Spray, Poison‑proof Mask, Steel Plate Explosion‑proof Suit, Explosion‑proof Shield, an opened‑edge Mountain Cutting Knife, an entrenching shovel……"

Although it would still be knocked down by a single shot beyond seven steps, it is mostly effective against cold weapons.

After being fully equipped, Mu Yi somewhat uncertainly thought that, due to paying for power, the quality of the things he bought was extremely reliable.

Thanks to the Giant Strength Talent boosting his strength, otherwise he might not really be able to afford this set of gear.

Within the limits of what could be equipped, Mu Yi outfitted himself to the extreme.

Full of excitement, he chose to enter the dungeon.

…………

"Now transmitting player into dungeon: Goblin Disaster (Simple)……"

"Transmission successful."

"Hiss~~"

Mu Yi felt as if he had been thrown into a washing machine drum, dizzy and unable to tell direction.

When he covered his forehead and climbed up from the ground, he discovered he had come from the room into a dense forest.

The sun overhead blazed with light and heat, though it seemed hotter than reality; Mu Yi could feel the temperature soaring, like a summer without air conditioning.

Fortunately, there was plenty of shade; hiding under it was considerably cooler.

After carefully observing his surroundings, Mu Yi walked forward cautiously; the unknown, unfamiliar environment stretched his nerves to the limit.

A giant wolf with fur reflecting metallic luster stepped out from behind a thick tree.

Seeing a giant wolf the size of a horse, Mu Yi's mouth twitched to the extreme; although he was armed to the teeth, he still would not be a match for a giant wolf estimated at 1.8 meters tall and weighing nearly a ton, with its claws and fangs.

Mu Yi, still sufficiently keen on physics, merely did a few calculations and realized he was absolutely no match for that colossal beast before him.

Facing a giant wolf whose weight is measured in 'tons', without firearms any form of retaliation is just a shovel delivering takeout.

"Wolf Repellent Spray……can it stop a giant wolf?"

Perhaps because he had endured the Elite Talent trial, in such a dangerous situation Mu Yi could still laugh, even telling himself a cold joke.

The giant wolf slowly approached, wolfishly cunning, it was testing the suddenly appearing bipedal creature, observing whether he was a newly arrived predator.

"Damn, where's the promised Goblin Disaster!" Mu Yi gripped the Explosion‑proof Shield and his Mountain Cutting Knife; although it probably wouldn't help, even if he died he wanted to resist.
