That night, the cat monster with half its tail broke off ran into a cave. Inside the cave were many human belongings, which were clearly stolen.

A much larger cat, about 1.9 meters tall, dressed neatly, sat on a grand chair and was stroking the head of a short-tailed cat. It actually hissed and spoke in human language: "Don't cry! You pretty boy and you bull horn, your ancestor will definitely avenge you!"

……

Chen Xiuxian had no idea that killing a few monsters had made him an enemy; he was still busy completing quests.

After Chen Xiuxian and Lao Niu teamed up, their efficiency was incredibly fast!

He could usually complete a task in two or three days. In his spare time, Chen Xiu would also go to the wilderness to hunt goblins and tree spirits, which made his life very fulfilling.

Old Niu was puzzled: "Brother Chen is good in every way, except he's too bloodthirsty! Why does he always have to go deep into the mountains and forests to kill monsters? It's terrifying!"
That day, the two completed another task.

However, this time it was a private commission.

Even if Liaodong is full of strange occurrences, the government shouldn't have so many tasks to complete every day.

This private assignment was because the two of them had already made a name for themselves.

For example, a few days ago, a young man was stung by an insect while traveling. He didn't think much of it at first, but it turned out to be a big problem when he got home.

By the time a famous local doctor was brought in, they said it was too late!
The insect that stings is called the red phosphorus rove beetle. Although it is highly venomous, it is not incurable.

But the medicine needs to be prepared fresh, and one of the main ingredients needs to be fresh. Now it's September, and the medicine has matured and formed seeds, so it can't be used!
This patient definitely won't last a month; he won't be able to get his medication next year.

The patient's father was a big merchant in Wadangbao, with seven or eight shops and a small caravan that collected local specialties and traded them with wealthy families in the interior.

His family has only had one son for three generations, and it seemed like their lineage was about to end. That guy was crying!

However, the doctor also said there was another way—fighting poison with poison.

It is said that in the Poisonous Enemy Gully, more than 20 miles northeast of the fortress, there is a giant scorpion that has been harming passersby for more than ten years. As a result, no one passes through that area anymore, and the trade routes have been changed.

If we can get our hands on its venom sac, the doctor can concoct an antidote and save the young master.

So they offered a reward of two hundred taels of silver for the venom sac of the giant scorpion.

Two hundred taels of silver is roughly equivalent to ten years' worth of daily expenses for a family of five.

This is a huge sum of money for ordinary people!

However, the Poisonous Enemy Ditch was already full of poisonous creatures, and the giant scorpion was as big as a small table, with extremely potent venom.

In the early days, when they weren't that big, when passersby were passing by and resting, the giant scorpion would hide in the trees or in the shadows and suck their life essence. Basically, no one who encountered it could come out alive.

The corpses of the dead were swollen and purple, a truly horrifying sight!
Chen Xiuxian found the wealthy man and said he could take the job, but it wouldn't be just two hundred taels of silver.

The wealthy man wanted to raise the price, but Chen Xiuxian waved his hand, "I don't want money, I want an ancient book from your family!"

Without hesitation, the wealthy man agreed without even asking for a second!
Then Chen Xiuxian spent ten taels of silver to buy a large bag of Sichuan peppercorns, and some insect repellent such as realgar, and set off with the old ox.

This quest was once a popular topic of conversation among players in the game.

The player who completed the quest posted about it in a very proud manner, making everyone envious.

First of all, if you fight it head-on, that giant scorpion is no joke!

It's an elite level 18 monster, and it's in special terrain. Players below level 20 shouldn't even bother trying.

But players above level 20 are too lazy to accept these offers.

However, one player took a different approach, using the principle of elemental counterplay to weaken the giant scorpion with a large amount of Sichuan peppercorns, and defeated it in one fell swoop.

Moreover, he also received an ancient book from the wealthy man's house; it was a cultivation technique.

Chen Xiuxian replicated that player's actions, and with Lao Niu, they easily killed the giant scorpion.

I didn't expect to get a magic item!
【Scorpion Tail Hook (Blue)】 Tier 3 Magic Item Card
It is formed from the tail hook of a giant scorpion that has lived for sixty years. It can fly out to injure people and inflict severe pain and poison, which can be stacked up to 3 times; it can also be pinned to the enemy and continuously inflict poison.

Consumption: Each launch consumes 80 True Qi.

Review: Getting pricked by this thing will make you writhe in pain!

The ancient book in the wealthy man's house records a cultivation technique called "Treasure Bottle Breath (Green)," which has 5 levels, each level granting +30 True Qi and +30 Health.

After reaching level 5, you can "advance" to [Yin Yang Treasure Bottle Qi (Blue)], which has a total of 8 levels. Each level grants +40 True Qi and +50 Health!

This cultivation technique can be considered as one green and one blue technique!
Chen Xiuxian's [Changhong Heart Sutra (Blue)] has now reached level 8/9 and is about to be maxed out.

You need to continue practicing other techniques—that's the advantage of being a player. With a training slot, your techniques improve very quickly, and once you've mastered one, you can continue practicing others, accumulating layer upon layer, which is something NPCs can't match!
……

Chen Xiuxian and Lao Niu's partnership made them famous.

In addition, as a member of a different race, Lao Niu still held some prestige among the other races in the city.

So he received a private commission from an extraordinary person.

That was a man from Zhourao—a dwarf! About a meter tall, with small arms and legs!
People from Zhourao are particularly skilled in various small techniques, and many of them are master craftsmen with superb skills!
Similarly, there are the Jingren—who are dwarfs!
Although it is less than 1.2 meters tall at its tallest, it is very thick and wide, like a ground vat!
Those arms were as thick as a human thigh; they were excellent miners and blacksmiths.

The person who commissioned this task was a man from Zhourao—the master carpenter Ma Benzai.

This man was a very prominent figure in Wadang Fort, and he was responsible for manufacturing and maintaining many of the city's defensive structures.

Even official officials have to give them some face.

This person is said to have almost been killed by goblins in the wild in his early years, so he hates goblins very much.

This mission is also related to goblins.

He needs a large amount of ebony, and the location he provides is that Yin Sha Rift Valley, which is inaccessible to ordinary people.

There are usually two or three hundred goblins there.

Isn't that a coincidence? Chen Xiuxian knows that place all too well!
It should be said that the fact that players consider Yinsha Rift Valley one of the best places for new players to level up is due to the quest given by the Zhourao carpenter.

This was truly satisfying! I wonder how many Yin Sha Goblins were killed by the players – probably tens of thousands!
This time, Chen Xiuxian and Lao Niu ventured deep into the rift valley and eventually carried back four or five thick pieces of submerged wood.

Within the Yin Sha Rift Valley, there were also some powerful goblins, including larger goblins who had mastered certain combat skills, as well as extremely robust bear goblins, which resembled human bears.

That goblin is probably level 20!
With an arm strength of about 30 points, he was carrying two large, dark wood clubs. When he swung them, they were like electric fans, and even the old ox could hardly withstand them!

However, this guy seems to have some mental issues; not only does he have a blank stare, but he also starts drooling when he gets excited while fighting.

When the old ox was fighting, it only cared about the old ox. Chen Xiuxian stabbed it in the back several times, and blood flowed out like a faucet.

When it got really angry, it turned around and chased Chen Xiuxian. The old ox beat it with an iron rod from behind, and then it turned around and chased the old ox again.

That's some serious blood! It's spilled all over the ground!

Finally, Chen Xiuxian stuck scorpion stings into his body and sprinkled lime into his eyes, killing him in a sneaky way.
The bear goblin also dropped a [Overlord Archer (Green)] card, which is a martial skill, just like [Rainbow Sword Technique (Blue)].

This is a palm technique, with a total of 4 levels.

With this task completed, Chen Xiuxian's level has reached 10!

You need to complete the "Breaking Through Realms" quest; otherwise, you can't use your experience points to level up.

……

That evening, Chen Xiuxian told Lao Niu that he was tired and needed to rest for a few days.

Old Niu was incredibly excited: "Damn, you're finally tired! All you do every day is kill, kill, kill, and mission, mission, mission, mission. Anyone who didn't know better would think you were the old ox or the horse!"

Chen Xiuxian wanted to log on to the forum to see if there was any way to resolve the issue.

—In the game, once you reach a certain level, the quest will be automatically triggered.

What should I do now?

However, after he fell asleep and entered the forum, he did not appear on the forum.

"Ding~ You have reached level 10, triggering the breakthrough quest..."
