The corpses of the gray wolves beneath my feet gradually disappeared, and not far away, new gray wolves had already started respawning. The gray wolf leader in front of me still had a sliver of HP left, stubbornly holding on.

Its eyes were already bloodshot, and every time it lunged and bit, it seemed to use up all its strength. My wild wolf greaves had already developed cracks—fortunately, it was just the durability dropping too fast, not damage beyond repair.

After gulping down a small red potion, my HP recovered by over 100 points, enough to finally finish off the gray wolf leader.

"Pa~!" A critical hit landed, a bright red 127 popped up, and the gray wolf leader slowly collapsed. Its eyes were full of unwillingness, but there was nothing it could do.

"Ding~!"

System message: Congratulations, your level has increased to 10!

System message: Congratulations, your level has increased to 11!

And that’s not all...

A flash of green light—wow, another green equipment drop!!

I almost shouted out in joy. I reached out and tossed the gray wolf leader’s head into my backpack, then rummaged through its corpse. Right before my eyes were a pair of glowing green bracers and a long, long sword.

I hurried to check the stats—green equipment, just as I’d hoped, especially that longsword!!

[Pinewood Forest Greatsword] (Green Equipment)

Attack: 24-45

Strength: +8

Stamina: +7

Required Level: 12

[Agility Bracers] (Green Equipment)

Defense: 14

HP: +50

Agility: +6

Intelligence: +5

Required Level: 12

Oh my god, my mind went blank!

You only realize the value of high attack after fighting monsters yourself. A greatsword with up to 45 attack is enough to outshine any other weapon of the same level. Even though it’s only 2 levels higher than that longbow, its attack is 19 points higher—what does that even mean?

The greatsword is already top-tier, but those agility bracers are even more ridiculously good. As far as I know, equipment with three attributes should be blue gear, but these bracers, only requiring level 12, somehow have three attributes. Even more outrageous, they add 50 HP—this is basically tailor-made for squishy mage classes!

“How much is this worth? A thousand RMB? No, at least three thousand RMB! No, three thousand US dollars!”

I was estimating the value of the gear, and by now it was almost mealtime. I quickly picked up the potions on the ground, saw that Hannah Cooper was still online, and decided to swing by the level 9 monster area to check on her.

From a distance, I saw Hannah Cooper still diligently fighting monsters. I hurried over, helped her kill a level 10 monster with a swing of my sword, and then said, “It’s time to eat, we should log off. We’ve been online way too long today. After dinner, let’s just go straight to bed.”

Hannah Cooper smiled and nodded. After returning to the village together, she logged off.

When I walked out of my room, I happened to see Hannah Cooper rubbing her eyes as she came out of her room too. She really looked exhausted. In the living room, Linda Harris and Grace were already discussing things about the game.

“Someone in our village got a level 5 green staff! The stats are really nice, +3 intelligence!”

“Yeah, there’s also a handsome guy in our village who got pants with +2 intelligence, but unfortunately, his girlfriend is a total dinosaur!”

I sat down speechless. No need to guess, that last comment was definitely from Grace.

Linda Harris smiled and said, “Little Clark, did you get anything good this afternoon?”

I nodded and replied, “Yeah, a pair of bracers usable at level 12, for mage classes—defense 14, +4 intelligence, +6 agility, and +50 HP!”

The discussion gradually quieted down, and several beautiful eyes all focused on me!

“Whew~!”

Linda Harris was unusually excited, jumped up from the sofa, and leapt straight into my arms, exclaiming, “Little Evan, I want it, I want it!!”

I was instantly dumbfounded. Linda Harris’s soft body was burning hot, and she was only wearing thin pajamas. I could even feel the two soft mounds pressed against my chest, and with the warm breath from Linda Harris’s lovely lips, for the first time, my cheeks were burning hot!

Grace was stunned for a moment, then laughed, “Wow, since when did Ms. Harris get so close with Evan Clark? Things are moving fast! Huh? Why is Evan Clark’s face so red? Are you not feeling well?”

Linda Harris climbed out of my arms, blushing, and said awkwardly, “I want those bracers…”

I snapped back to my senses and patted my chest, saying, “You should’ve said so earlier! I thought you were shouting for something else, scared me for a second!”

Linda Harris’s beautiful face turned even redder. She glared at me and said, “Any other good drops? I reached level 8 today and I’m exhausted. I think I’ll hit level 12 the day after tomorrow, then I can use those bracers.”

I nodded and said, “That’s right. Once you get your class and learn skills, intelligence will be super important for you. Oh, and I also got a longsword—attack 24-45, absolutely top-tier. The old one, 7-12 attack, is about to be obsolete. Anyone want it?”
