Dragon Raja's Number One Player

………………

Thick white fog hung outside the bus, and strangely, countless red lanterns appeared in the distance.

Lin Zhiying, who had gathered around the car to watch the commotion, and Qin Chuan outside the car both turned serious at the same time.

Night Shadow Wolf!

"It's a Night Shadow Wolf! Everyone be careful!"

As Qin Chuan finished speaking, the surrounding executive officers instantly became alert.

The team members, who had been somewhat lax, regained their focus and aimed their alchemical weapons into the fog.

"Damn it, how did this monster from Zone D get here? Everyone, keep your formation in place, don't let this beast get through."

Qin Chuan spat and rubbed the large-caliber shotgun in his hands.

If the Soft Bone Rabbit is a "newbie killer," then the Night Shadow Wolf is definitely a "nightmare for veteran players."

Can you believe that the strength of a grizzly bear, the speed of a cheetah, and the teamwork of a wolf pack can all be found in one monster?

That's how Night Shadow Wolf is.

To paraphrase a player from the previous forum: "The game designers clearly filled in the numbers with their feet!"

This guy not only has a high health bar and high damage, but he also lives in groups, so he will attract a circle of aggro the moment he enters.

In the previous game, many players skipped it by killing the Soft Bone Rabbit to reach level 20 in order to avoid being disgusted by it.

"Help!"

Noticing the lights, two people ran out of the thick fog.

It was a man and a woman. The man was wearing a black armor, but it was now tattered and torn, and he had many bleeding wounds all over his body.

The woman had a pretty face, wore a black and white striped short skirt, and had slender, long legs.

Although she looked a bit disheveled, she was in much better shape than the man, as she wasn't directly injured.

Come this way!

Qin Chuan, who was standing at the front of the line, stepped forward a few steps, made way for the two of them, and beckoned them to come closer.

"I'm tired, let's walk slowly."

Perhaps seeing Qin Chuan and the others made her feel safe now, so the girl said coquettishly and tugged at the sleeve of the boy next to her.

The boy was still somewhat rational and knew the danger of his current situation, but when he saw the guns in Qin Chuan's hands, a strange look flashed in his eyes.

These NPCs have great equipment. If they all die, wouldn't all of these guns be mine?

Thinking of this, he deliberately shortened his steps, and even though he was only a few meters away, he dawdled for a long time without coming over.

"Be careful!"

Qin Chuan shouted and ran forward to push the two apart. The patrol team quickly escorted the two players onto the bus.

He himself broke away from the group and was surrounded by three Nightshade Wolves.

These creatures look like ordinary gray wolves, but their physiques are much larger, almost comparable to tigers and leopards, and small scales can be vaguely seen under their fur.

A shadow wolf suddenly pounced on Qin Chuan from behind.

"Smack."

The wolf's jaws, which were biting at him, were pried open by Qin Chuan's hands.

Lin Zhiying noticed that a layer of black keratin had appeared all over Qin Chuan's body, an effect that matched a spell in his mind.

B-level Word of Power: Xuanjia.

Another Night Shadow Wolf took advantage of this moment to attack Qin Chuan.

Since Qin Chuanteng didn't make a move, he simply used the Night Shadow Wolf in his hand as a weapon, grabbing its head and lifting it off the ground to slam it heavily onto another wolf.

The two Night Shadow Wolves were thrown three or four meters away, howling in pain.

But there was still one Night Shadow Wolf, which cunningly moved to the other side.

Using Qin Chuan's body as cover, the patrol team dared not fire, their sharp teeth about to bite Qin Chuan's lower back.

"Word of Power: Lord's Flame"

A cringeworthy line rang out behind him.

The metal baseball bat, glowing with fire, swung out and slammed into Nightshade Wolf's nose.

-83!

-24

Seeing the critical hit, Lin Zhiying was thinking that a stick is still the most effective weapon when beating a dog.

The next second, the already damaged baseball bat broke in two under the strain.

In return, the Night Shadow Wolf's nose was smashed off, and it lay on the ground howling pitifully as it writhed and rolled around.

"Never mind, I wasn't used to it anyway."

Lin Zhiying casually tossed the baseball bat aside, stepped forward, and straddled the Night Shadow Wolf, letting its claws scratch him.

Flames crackled around his fist as he slammed it into its head, punching it repeatedly, his mana energy flowing out of him as if it were free.

-32

-29

……

The Night Shadow Wolf beneath Lin Zhiying's body resisted and groaned, but the sounds grew fainter.

When he got up, Night Shadow Wolf was no longer moving; its head was smashed into a pile of mud.

"Is he really a gamer?"

The male gamer on the bus slightly opened his mouth upon seeing this scene.

He was chased by the Night Shadow Wolf the whole way, and he could just turn around and take care of it?

A glint flashed in the female player's eyes, and no one knew what she was thinking.

On the panel, the previously stagnant experience bar suddenly surged, and the level 20 Nightshade Wolf directly leveled up Lin Zhiying!

Why is everyone looking at me like that?

The wolf pack had left sometime earlier, and the patrolmen around him were looking at him with disbelief.

"I knew you had a bit of me in you! I was just as fierce as you when I was young!"

Qin Chuan walked over with a smile, breaking the silence. Although he said the same words, this time they sounded noticeably different.

He let Lin Zhiying go up first, and then carried the corpse of the Night Shadow Wolf on the ground into the car.

The bus doors closed, and the vehicle restarted.

Qin Chuan put the Night Shadow Wolf's corpse into his alchemy backpack and said to Lin Zhiying:

"You're considered to have killed this Nightshade Wolf, so I'll give you 600 points in return, how about that?"

600 points. Keep in mind that a normal Nightshade Wolf only costs 500 points.

There's no reason not to sell at a high price, so Lin Zhiying nodded in agreement without hesitation.

He then noticed that the system had just notified him that Qin Chuan's favorability had increased by five points, which was probably why he had given himself an extra discount.

In any case, having points is a good thing.

The two players sitting in the back of the car came over at some point.

"Wow, you're so amazing! Could you teach me?"

The female player, nicknamed "I Don't Eat Cilantro," spoke in a high-pitched voice, occasionally rubbing her rather ample chest against Lin Zhiying's arm.

"No, I won't bring it."

Lin Zhiying glanced up briefly and then refused without hesitation.

Too small, not as good as one for my deskmate.

"Hey bro, you're so good, don't keep your good stuff to yourself. We're all players, share it with us."

The male player named "Picking Cilantro for You" breathed a sigh of relief when Lin Zhiying did not agree.

But he was also curious why he was so strong on the first day of the game's launch.

There must be some secret behind this. If I knew it, wouldn't I be able to go on a girl-hunting spree?

"No comment."

Lin Zhiying rolled her eyes, too lazy to get entangled with this kind of person.

The more you pay attention to someone like that, the more they feel important.

If you ask me for advice, I might be able to give you some pointers.

You're so quick to judge, making it sound like I owe you something. Fine, forget it then.

He ignored the two of them and walked straight to the safety box, which Qin Chuan had already opened for him.

After this little incident, Lin Zhiying realized that he had to get his hands on that Word of Power item no matter what.

Even if you're unlucky and only get a D-rank Word of Power, it's still better than leaving the Word of Power slot empty.

Moreover, he currently has a total of 2175 points, which is enough to boost his strength even if he makes a wrong bet.

Thinking this, Lin Zhiying went straight to the second layer of the safety box and took the small cauldron in her hand.

The male and female players, feeling resentful after being rejected, kept an eye on this side.

When they saw the description of the bronze tripod on the panel, their eyes immediately lit up.

"This is mine!"

Suddenly, "I don't eat cilantro" ran over and blocked Lin Zhiying's way with his hand.

"What makes you think it's yours?"

People can actually laugh when they're speechless.

Lin Zhiying now deeply resents the Night Shadow Wolf for not being strong enough; why didn't it bite her to death back then?

"Dude, I can tell you've never been in a relationship before. It won't hurt to be a little more considerate of girls."

"Picking Cilantro for You" plays the role of a rationalist on the side.

"Okay, then you can exchange them."

Lin Zhiying shrugged, put down the small cauldron, and shook his head at Qin Chuan.

Since they didn't have any points to redeem anyway, Lin Zhiying watched them with great interest.

Let's just consider it a study of human diversity.

"Picking Cilantro for You" picked up the small cauldron and held it in his hand. He had only checked the effect before, and only then did he notice that this thing actually cost 1500 points.

Don't even mention 1500, they can't even come up with one point right now.

"Brother, that's not what I meant."

"Picking cilantro for you," she rubbed her hands together, trying to pull Lin Zhiying aside.

Lin Zhiying dodged him by stepping aside.

"You can say whatever you want right here."

"Picking Cilantro for You" glanced at the female player and thought it was better to say it here, at least so that she could see his performance.

"Brother, what I mean is you should exchange it and then give it to her."

"I'll pick some cilantro for you," he said, pointing to the prop and then to the female player next to him who was looking up. He spoke with great energy.

"So you mean I should use my points to redeem items for you?"

Lin Zhiying suspected she had misheard and repeated it uncertainly.

"Yes, yes, that's it."

"Picking Cilantro for You" also showed an approving expression, gave a soft hum, and nodded slightly.

Wait, are there even any humans left here?

This way, they can justifiably claim the rewards for themselves.

Lin Zhiying had never seen anything like this in his two lifetimes; he had truly broadened his horizons today.

"Actually, I don't really want it that much, but if you give me the item, as a reward, I can give you a friend slot."

She pouted, saying "I don't eat cilantro," and glanced over here every now and then.

Seeing that Lin Zhiying hadn't made a move for a long time, "Picking Cilantro for You" started to get a little impatient.

"Brother, you're not reluctant to part with it, are you? You know we were the ones who lured that wolf here, and you took all the reward."

"We only need one of these props, is that too much to ask?"

Lin Zhiying clapped his hands, his whole body trembling slightly with anger:

"I understand now, there's no point in talking to people like you."

"Word of Power: Lord's Flame"

Flames rose in his hands; his mana was almost depleted, but it was still enough to deal with the two of them.

"I'll count to three, get out of here! One..."

"What do you mean by this?"

"Picking Cilantro for You" turned pale; he hadn't expected Lin Zhiying to take action so directly.

"two."

Lin Zhiying ignored him completely and continued counting down.

"I don't eat cilantro!" she yelled in a shrill voice at Qin Chuan and the others in the car.

"You guys need to do something about him! He's hitting someone!"

The patrol team members all turned their backs in unison; some whistled, some chatted, but no one looked in their direction.

They are NPCs, not NCs (naocans)!

Everyone on the patrol team had witnessed how Captain Qin Chuan had been dragged down by them and put in danger.

The bus stopped, and the doors opened with a creak. Lin Zhiying looked at them expressionlessly.

"three."

Just before he read out the last number, the two of them darted away.

They still knew what had happened to Nightshade Wolves before.

After getting off the bus, he not only "picked cilantro for you" but also made some tough remarks.

"I'll remember you! You just wait."

He kept muttering something about how fortunes change every thirty years.

Unfortunately, Lin Zhiying didn't hear anything as soon as the car door closed.

After this little incident, to avoid any unforeseen complications, Lin Zhiying immediately used his points to redeem the bronze tripod.

Grab it in one go, and refine it in an instant.
