Chapter 16: Lion Hunt

But ordinary players' job‑change quest can only be performed after reaching level 10 and going to the town.

So now Su Sheng should be the only level‑11 player in the entire Newbie Village.

And Su Sheng doesn't know that while he is watching the System Notification, players checking the Level Ranking List outside are stunned.

Because the moment the Wolf King fell, the Hidden Nickname that had been pushed down to fifteenth place suddenly jumped to second.

Following the twelve‑level Universal Chairman Shen Wang, the Twelve‑winged Angel of Dawn, chairman of the second guild, was pushed down to third.

For a moment, everyone started chatting.

On the entire Level Ranking List, there is only one player with a Hidden Nickname, namely the mysterious Mo Wen Qianchen who appeared out of nowhere.

Although he has hidden his nickname now, everyone knows it's him; it feels like the old "there's no three hundred taels of silver here" trick.

So, who exactly is this person? They're unbelievably impressive.

But this has little to do with Su Sheng right now; he then looks at the next System Notification.

System Notification:

Profession template promotion: Constitution +10, Talent Toughness upgraded.

Eh hey?

After the profession promotion, the initial Knight template talent can also be upgraded? The Knight profession template naturally adds Constitution.

A glance at the Toughness talent shows damage reduction rising from 2% to 4%; okay, still just mosquito‑leg level.

Next.

System Notification:

Obtained title, Lion Tooth Knight.

System Notification:

Learned Lion Tooth Knight profession skill, Lion Hunt.

There's also a skill, Su Sheng grinned, but he isn't sure whether he'll be able to go to the profession mentor later to learn the Knight's skills,

He's also on the Knight profession template, so it should be fine; he'll try it out in the town later, after all his talents have been upgraded.

First, look at the skill.

Skill: Lion Hunt.

Actively activate the skill to enter Hunting state; during the duration, gain Agility equal to the same attack‑defense balanced stats.

Duration: 5 minutes

Cooldown: 120 minutes

I messed up big time.

Active buff skill: for 5 minutes, Agility matches the same attack‑defense stance stats.

The attribute panel shows level 11; adding one attribute point, attack‑defense balance plus the 10 Constitution points from the profession template brings it to 106.

As long as he activates Hunting, even an assassin with all‑Agility points will end up eating dust behind his rear.

Very good and powerful, I like it.

Su Sheng licked his lips, letting out a cackling laugh.

The remaining thing is that while he was tackling the Wolf King, his parents and Huan Jie each accepted his friend request.

Next, it's time to check the loot.

The Elite BOSS's big drop—how many good items will there be?

Gold Coin x10, skipped.

Also similar side‑profession materials like the previous Rabbit Head, skipped.

Hmm?

But a slight surprise is that a blue Wolf Fang Material dropped, probably a blacksmith's material.

With a blue premium item, maybe there will be blue equipment; Su Sheng began to look forward to it.

Wolf Walking Boots (green)

Defense: 15

Bonus: Agility +5

Level: 10

Description: (omitted)

Good stuff, though like the Rabbit Fur Wristband, it's just Leather Armor defense and not very high.

But in Newbie Village, having any equipment is fine; nothing to be picky about.

After equipping, attack and defense rise another 15 points, reaching 121.

However, the level‑15 Elite BOSS dropping level‑10 gear surprised Su Sheng a bit; then again, it's just a Newbie Village BOSS, and normally Newbie Village won't have players above level 10, so level‑10 gear is normal.

Wolf King Skin Armor (green)

Defense: 25

Bonus: HP +100

Level: 10

Description: (omitted)

Another piece of Leather Armor; I'll equip it later, I'm not picky.

Wolf King Long Sword (green)

Attack: 45

Bonus: Attack +5

Level: 10

Explanation: brief.

Good stuff, too bad I can't use it.

It only added 50 attack power in total, but now my attack power follows the attack-defense balance, taking the defense value; without that balance, my actual attack power is just over 10 points.

Even adding this longsword, I still can't make up the attack-defense balance gap.

Alright, I won't waste this good stuff; later I'll toss it together to Huan Jie.

Three pieces of equipment, all are green-quality good items.

Could it be that the only blue-quality fine item is that wolf fang material?

Su Sheng looked at the last piece of equipment, and his eyes lit up immediately.

Wolf Fang Pendant (blue)

Magic Defense: 20

Bonus: Strength +5

Bonus: Lifesteal 3%

Level: 10

Explanation: brief.

Talk after equipping; accessories are hard to get, harder than equipment.

Although 5 strength is a junk stat for me, 20 magic defense and 3% lifesteal are still great.

Normally, magic defense can only be provided by accessories, or some accessory stats on armor, as well as the enchantments of a later secondary profession enchanter.

After a glance, magic defense isn't counted in the attack-defense balance calculation; it's calculated separately, which is a bit unfortunate, but even so, this hidden class is already very powerful—what else could I be dissatisfied with?

With this set of equipment, I've basically collected about half of it.

《Zhu Lu》 likewise inherits the equipment model of 《Qiong Xiong》.

Armor has five slots: helmet, chest armor, bracers, greaves, boots.

Accessories have three slots: five grids, pendant, two earring slots, two ring slots.

And a special equipment slot: cape!

Now Su Sheng only lacks greaves and helmet; a full set of armor would be complete, absolutely luxurious in the Newbie Village.

After opening the attribute panel and admiring it for a while, Su Sheng felt satisfied.

At this moment, Su Sheng's attack and defense reached 146, and his HP reached 870.

In the Newbie Village, he is absolutely unrivaled.

Next, return to the Newbie Village to send the equipment to Huan Jie, then can go to the town via the village head's teleport.

Right, upon reaching the town I can meet up with Huan Jie; first I'll ask them which town they want to develop in.

The game map of Huaxia Nation's domestic server is divided into one central imperial city, the eastern main city Azure Dragon, the southern main city Zhu Que, the western main city Bai Hu, and the northern main city Xuan Wu.

And distributed under the four great main cities are countless various towns.

After leaving the Newbie Village, players can choose a town; these are all public information posted on the game forum.

"Leng Shao, the wolf howl just now probably came from this spot."

"Let's look around, see if there's a BOSS; if there really is a BOSS we must take it down."

"If we take down this BOSS, the Chairman will definitely give us a reward."

"No, someone's here!"

"That corpse is huge! It's definitely a BOSS's corpse!"

"Damn, someone got there first!"

Just then, a group of players appeared before Su Sheng.

At the moment Su Sheng saw them, they also saw Su Sheng and the huge wolf king corpse before him that hasn't refreshed yet.

Su Sheng raised his eyebrows; it's obvious these players were drawn by the wolf king's last skill, after all that wolf howl must have carried far.

Good thing I acted quickly, otherwise there would have been complications.

As long as these players deal any damage to the wolf king, my profession quest will fail.

Immediately after, Su Sheng furrowed his brows.
