Linsel emerged from the bushes, and only then did the dire wolf cubs notice him.

One of them barked angrily in a low voice, while the other simply foamed at the mouth and tried to play dead.

It seems that the giant wolf from before was female, no doubt about it. So this little one can't be spared either, it must die!

Linssey's four spears went up and instantly killed the two little ones.

[Monster Encyclopedia Activated: Dire Wolf defeated, choose one ability to gain]

Huh? You can gain abilities too?

[Dark vision: In the absence of light, you can see objects within 10 meters and distinguish between white and black.]

[Apparent death: You can temporarily lose consciousness, your heart stops beating for 5 minutes, and then return to normal]

[Rapid Growth: Your body age increases by 0.1 years after each meal, stopping after reaching maturity.]

Linsel was both surprised and delighted. He hadn't expected that the Dire Wolf and the mutated Giant Dire Wolf were not the same type of monster in the monster encyclopedia. Moreover, it seemed that killing the cubs was the same as killing the adult, which could trigger the cheat reward!

He immediately selected [Dark Vision].

Although I am currently on the outskirts of the Twilight Forest, it is getting dark, and it will take some time to get out of the forest, so this ability is quite suitable.

[Dark Vision] has been successfully selected.

Linsel snapped out of his daze and looked at his two companions, their bodies mangled and brutally murdered, and felt a wave of nausea wash over him.

As for the two random teammates of the original owner, it seems that their names were not in the original owner's fragmented memories. And these two boys, along with the original owner's adventure career, ended before it even really began.

Suddenly, Lin Sai felt that everything was somewhat unfamiliar. He had suddenly plunged into this strange world of life and death, and he had adapted so quickly that it was as if he had become a different person.

Rather, it's more accurate to say that parts of the original owner's personality and memories merged with his own.

He sighed, searched the two corpses, and found two gray-white adventurer nameplates. In a small leather bag on one of the bodies, he found two healing ointments, two wooden splints, two bandages, and two herbal extracts.

Immobilize the injured legs with splints, apply two round, flat, dark green jars of ointment with a herbal scent to the injured areas of the left arm and body, then apply two small bottles of paste-like herbal extract poultices to relieve pain, and finally bandage the wound on the left arm with a roll of bandage.

After completing these steps, check the panel's life status.

[Lince, Human, Vital Status: 44/90, Stable with moderate trunk injury, Stable with minor left arm injury, Stable with minor leg injuries]

"Phew, that feels so good."

As darkness fell, Linsset knew that he didn't have much time left to leave.

He found his sword on the ground nearby. It was a brand new iron sword that the original owner had bought a few days ago for 15 silver coins. It had been tempered and was balanced and hard.

He cut down a clump of trees with his sword, hastily covered the bodies of his two companions, and then went to the dead giant wolf.

Linsel took a liking to the pelt of the giant dire wolf.

In the original owner's memories, a dire wolf's pelt could sell for more than ten silver coins, and this giant dire wolf would definitely be worth even more.

One silver coin equals 100 copper coins. Linsel hesitated, touching the purse at his waist that held only a few copper coins.

However, his sword had already begun to involuntarily slice and skin the giant wolf.

I shouldn't encounter any monsters, right? Anyway, with [Darkvision], it's okay to be a little greedy, and skinning won't take too long.

Money is very important now.

It took more than ten minutes to process the fur, and by the time the giant wolf's skin was finished, it was completely dark.

It was pitch black all around, and gradually, various unsettling sounds began to rise from the vicinity: the howls of wolves, the chirping of insects, inexplicable hissing, strange whispers…

However, Lindsay's newly acquired [darksight] came in handy! He could see his surroundings very clearly.

Carrying the giant wolf pelt and a spear, Linsel headed east towards the town of Linchui, guided by the original owner's memories.

But then, his worst fears came true.

After walking a few steps, there was a rustling in the bushes ahead, and then three ugly-looking, short monsters jumped out!

Lindsay recognized the monster as a goblin, thanks to his darkvision, and it looked remarkably similar to the stereotypes he had from his previous life.

[Goblin, Monster, Health: 30/30, Armor: 0]

As a frequent target of adventurers at the bottom of society, a single goblin is weak; an ordinary farmer with a pitchfork can take on two. However, if their numbers increase, mutated species are more likely to emerge, and the threat level will begin to rise.

However, the three goblins in front of Linsel looked to be just ordinary goblins.

Normally, these three goblins would be no match for Linse, but now that Linse is injured, and it's nighttime, the situation seems to be in the goblins' favor.

The goblins understood this as well. Instead of rushing to attack, they crept into the darkness, slowly approaching Linse.

At times like this, adventurers would usually light torches, use light spells, or have some other means of illumination, but Lindsay did nothing.

He simply dropped the giant wolf pelt, gripped his iron sword, and slowly backed away.

"Who's there?"

Linsset feigned panic, wildly waving his iron sword around, creating the illusion that he was terrified because he couldn't see clearly in the darkness.

Seeing this, the goblins on the other side obviously relaxed their guard. They abandoned their original, steady tactic of encirclement and chose to attack directly.

The goblins, armed with sticks and stone blades, abandoned their stealth and began to chatter incessantly, rapidly approaching Linse under the cover of darkness.

However, these three green-skinned dwarves had no idea that the human adventurer before them possessed [darksight] just like them, which was the key to Linssey's victory.

Just as two of the goblins were about to get close, Linsel's seemingly random sword swings suddenly changed in mid-air.

Suddenly, the sword swung down, cleaving a careless goblin in two from top to bottom!

Linsel flicked his right elbow and slashed horizontally with his iron sword, instantly cleaving the second approaching goblin in half at the waist, separating its upper and lower body.

Clean and efficient!

Upon seeing this, the third remaining green-skinned monster froze instantly, then turned and ran away.

Linsset threw the spear he had been carrying on his back.

The spear was less than half a meter in front of the last remaining goblin, startling it so much that it lost its balance and fell.

"Hmph, trying to escape?"

Linsel strode forward and with a single sword strike, the remaining goblin's head flew off before it could even scream and rolled to the ground.

[Monster Encyclopedia Activated: Goblin defeated, choose one ability to gain]

Here comes the third monster ability!

[Dark Vision+: Perception +1. In the absence of light, you can see objects within 20 meters and distinguish between white and black.]

[Short stature: Strength -1, Agility +1. Your height shrinks to 1.4 meters, and your body adjusts proportionally to fit the new height.]

[Goblin Chatter: You can understand goblin language and make goblin-like sounds]

Linsel directly chose [Dark Vision+], since he felt that the other two abilities were not very useful in comparison.

[Successfully selected [Dark Vision+]]

After his abilities were enhanced, his field of vision became much wider. Now, the completely dark forest was almost like daytime to him, except that he couldn't distinguish the colors.

He was already quite curious about what the final enhanced abilities of [Dark Vision] would look like.

Lindsay found nothing of value or use on the three goblins, so he cut off one of their left ears.

You can get 20 copper coins by handing over a goblin left ear to the Adventurers' Guild.

Linsel put the three goblin ears into the money bag and opened the panel.

Looking at the three monsters recorded in the [Monster Encyclopedia] and the two monster abilities he had obtained, Lin Se's smile gradually became more unrestrained.

Although he is currently just a low-level novice adventurer, as long as he fights monsters, collects monster abilities through cheat codes, earns money, and improves, he will one day become a powerful adventurer.

everything will get better!

Filled with hope for the future, Linsel shouldered the giant wolf pelt and quickened his pace back to town.
