Chapter 10: Level Up! Triggering a Quest!
"Of course! Don't forget who Miss Su is!"
"She's the daughter of Su Qingguo, the richest man in Anning City!"
"With exceptional talent and extraordinary background, it's an honor for you three uncles to team up with Miss Su."
Seeing Su Rou's indifferent silence, Zhuo Feng stepped forward and announced proudly.
Liu Qing adjusted his glasses, feeling a sense of pride.
Initially, they wanted to reject the three burly men's team-up invitation. But at that time, they were so intimidated by the three men's ferocity that they immediately agreed.
Now that they had calmed down, they felt they had lost face in front of the goddess Su Rou.
So, they wanted to make up for it by leveraging Su Rou's status to intimidate the three men, hoping to earn some respect from them.
"Oh, I see! It truly is our honor!"
"Indeed! Teaming up with Miss Su is indeed an honor for us ordinary transferees!"
"Rest assured! We guarantee Miss Su's safety!"
After Zhuo Feng spoke, the three burly men smiled obsequiously.
However, they failed to notice the fleeting greed and cruelty in the depths of the three men's eyes.
"Let's move on!" Su Rou ordered coldly.
Hearing this, the three men responded happily. They couldn't wait to go deeper because the deeper they went, the fewer adventurers there would be around. At that time, they could boldly execute their plan!
...
...
Soon...
The time came to the next day.
At this moment, Qin Fan was already out of the outskirts of the Youlin Mountains. The area was rugged, with towering mountains and sparse human habitation.
The monsters inhabiting this place were generally around levels 15 or 16. Typically, only adventure teams with rich combat experience dared to come here to hunt and search for treasure.
Last night, Qin Fan prepared a sumptuous feast for his little dragon, Xiaojiu. Xiaojiu enjoyed it immensely. Qin Fan could feel Xiaojiu's increasing fondness for him.
Of course...
Qin Fan didn't expect the E+ level life talent he had abandoned, 'Culinary Mastery,' to come in handy at this moment.
"Roar!!"
A dragon's roar suddenly erupted in the quiet valley!
Boom!!
Following was the sound of a fire explosion!!
Five unihorned rhinoceroses covered in tough scales appeared before Qin Fan. They were known as 'Black-scaled Demon Rhinos,' level 16 with a Black Iron ★★★★★ qualification.
However, they were now completely scorched and lifeless. Under Xiaojiu's breath, these little monsters were no match.
[Collection successful, obtained 'Black-scaled Demon Rhino's Heart' x5!]
[Collection successful, obtained 'Black-scaled Demon Rhino's Horn' x5!]
[Collection successful, obtained 'Black-scaled Demon Rhino's Scales' x500!]
Qin Fan collected the valuable items from the Black-scaled Demon Rhino. The hearts could be used in medicine, the horns for forging weapons, and the scales for making armor. These materials were worth a fortune for the impoverished Qin Fan.
Buzz!!
At this moment, Qin Fan's level increased again, reaching level 13!
Indeed, hunting monsters higher in level than oneself yields a lot of experience!
Qin Fan's personal stats saw significant changes.
[Name: Qin Fan]
[Age: 18]
[Level: 13]
[Profession: Dragon Master]
[Talents: Beast Affinity (SSS), Culinary Mastery (E+)]
[Attributes: Strength 40; Intelligence 40; Constitution 30; Agility 30]
[Skills: Dragon Mastery (S), Hatred Mark (B), Dragon Fury (B), Dragon Claw Assault (B)]
...
If others knew he had leveled up twice in two days, they would be shocked. In a resource-monopolized world dominated by major schools, organizations, and powerful families, a commoner leveling up twice in two days would be stunning.
But Qin Fan knew...
His growth had just begun!!
Xiaojiu's level remained at 5. Clearly, this top-tier dragon pet required a lot of experience to level up.
"We need to keep hunting!" Qin Fan rubbed his chin and planned to continue.
Of course...
Not all hunting was left to Xiaojiu. Qin Fan also found opportunities to single out Black-scaled Demon Rhinos when Xiaojiu wasn't interfering.
While it might seem redundant to others, Qin Fan found it necessary!
Even with a powerful dragon pet, his strength shouldn't be neglected. Enhancing his own abilities would make him more adept in battle!
"Let's go deeper!!" Qin Fan exhaled slowly, his expression becoming determined.
"Roar!!" Feeling its master's determination to become stronger, Xiaojiu also got excited.
...
...
Three days passed in a flash.
On the peak of a mountain...
Qin Fan, covered in blood, sat in the shade after just killing an 18th-level monster, the Azure Star Leopard. His clothes and basic armor were tattered after three days of battles and trials.
However, his level had risen to 15!!
Five days!
From level 10 to level 15!
Such a frightening leveling speed was rare!!
If the media outside knew, it would undoubtedly cause a sensation!
Xiaojiu's level also increased from 5 to 7!
[Dragon Pet: Blaze Dragon (Endless Flame Lord)]
[Name: Yingjiu]
[Nickname: Xiaojiu]
[Gender: Female]
[Age: Less than a month]
[Level: 7]
[Attributes: Strength 800; Intelligence 800; Constitution 670; Agility 720] (without any BUFF, equipment, or item boosts)
...
Such attribute increases were terrifying!
Just two levels, but the four attributes saw an increase of two to three hundred!
Ding!!
[Congratulations, host, for triggering the random mission: 'Hero Saves Beauty'!]
[Mission Content: Successfully rescue the eldest daughter of the Su family, Su Rou!]
[Reward: Two Diamond Chests! One Legendary Chest!]
[Penalty: None.]
[Time Limit: 12 hours.]
[Please complete the mission as soon as possible!]
Just as Qin Fan planned to continue traversing the Youlin Mountains with Xiaojiu, the system, which had been silent for days, responded again.
Moreover, it triggered a random mission as soon as it reappeared!
"Hmm? Hero Saves Beauty!?" Qin Fan was slightly stunned by the mission content.
He suddenly recalled Su Rou, Zhuo Feng, and Liu Qing's team inviting three fierce-looking men to join them when entering the Youlin Mountains...
Damn!
Indeed, those three fierce-looking men were problematic!
This was quite normal...
Su Rou had openly displayed a rare level 10 purple staff, which was akin to a toddler flaunting a gold bar on the street.
Possession invites misfortune.
Being targeted was to be expected!
"Xiaojiu, expand your mental field and sense all movements around us immediately!" Qin Fan ordered.
