Chapter 21: Here! Go pick it up.

You can gain prestige by acting righteously, helping the weak, and healing the sick.

Although prestige isn't very useful, it's a form of proof.

Proof that you've done good deeds.

Therefore, the higher your prestige, the higher your renown.

It's said that when officials select personnel, they also consider prestige values.

Wei Kai displayed his prestige value, which was 30 points in total.

This perfectly matched the situation of rescuing six people, with 5 points per person.

After looking at it, the two members of the rescue team nodded slightly: "Alright, we've taken screenshots and saved them. You'll have a result in three days."

After speaking, one of them looked at the six-person team again.

"Since the Elite Boar is gone, we're heading back. Be careful when leveling up in the future, and know your limits!"

"Exactly."

Another rescue team member also admonished: "It's not easy for the officials to train you. This year, Yongning City only had over two hundred Battle Professionals transfer. If something happened to you... it would be a great loss for the officials!"

"We know we were wrong." The Heavy Armor Warrior quickly nodded in agreement.

"We know we were wrong."

The rest of the team members also mumbled in agreement.

The two members of the rescue team soon left.

The Heavy Armor Warrior didn't want to stay either, so he cupped his fists and said: "Brother, the grace of saving my life is beyond repayment, only..."

"Stop!"

When Wei Kai heard this, cold sweat trickled down his back.

He was afraid the other party would say the words "offer myself to you."

"I said I don't seek anything in return from you. You should go back first..."

The Heavy Armor Warrior was stunned for a moment, then thought of his teammates behind him and could only give a wry smile: "Alright then, may we meet again if fate allows." After speaking, he turned around.

Just then, the team member who had been arguing earlier stepped forward again.

"Wait! The matter of the Elite Boar hasn't been made clear yet."

"What do you mean?" Wei Kai frowned, feeling a bit annoyed.

Are you like a dog's plaster, never letting go?

Endless!

The man put his hands on his hips and said aggressively: "That Elite Boar was discovered by us, and we dealt most of the damage. In the end, you got the advantage..."

"Heh!" Wei Kai scoffed.

"So... we also deserve a share of the items that Elite Boar dropped!" The man said shamelessly.

"Oh?" Wei Kai raised an eyebrow and sneered: "Alright."

After speaking, he randomly selected a white-grade item from his backpack and threw it out.

The white-grade equipment fell to the ground with a soft thud.

Wei Kai then seized the opportunity to purse his lips: "Here! Go pick it up."

"You!"

The team member's face instantly flushed red with anger, a direct red warning!

"Are you treating me like a beggar?"

"Aren't you a beggar?" Wei Kai retorted.

As soon as these words came out, the other party's defenses completely broke, and he furiously shouted: "I'm going to kill you!" As soon as he finished speaking, his entire body transformed into a black shadow and darted towards Wei Kai.

"Assassin?"

Wei Kai was stunned for a moment, then began to laugh.

An assassin dares to confront a warrior head-on?

"Charge!"

The Charge skill he had just learned instantly activated.

Wei Kai's entire body turned into an afterimage, colliding with the opponent at an imperceptible speed.

The next moment, the opponent seemed to turn into a kite with a broken string, flying out on the spot.

After a long while, a dull thud of a heavy object landing was heard.

And then... there was no 'then'.

"Ah, this!"

The rest of the team members were all dumbfounded.

No one expected everything to end so suddenly; there wasn't even time to mediate.

From the moment the assassin teammate made his move until he was sent flying, less than three seconds passed.

Most importantly, this collision not only sent the assassin teammate flying but also left him in a severely injured state upon landing.

He didn't even have a chance to resist.

Fortunately, Wei Kai didn't go up to finish him off... otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable!

He simply waved his hand: "The uncles from the rescue team shouldn't have gone far yet, hurry and go."

After speaking, he turned and left.

Leaving behind the stunned crowd and the exasperated Heavy Armor Warrior captain.

"Damn it, he had nothing to do but court death..."

He cursed under his breath, then quickly ran to call for help.

Ten minutes later, Wei Kai returned to the forest.

That collision earlier showed him the power of the "Mudslinger Set."

Now, he had a new plan.

There was no need to farm Elite Boar anymore; after all, they only dropped equipment, and their materials weren't even as good as ordinary boars.

Moreover, their numbers weren't large, and just finding them would take at least ten minutes.

The speed of leveling up by farming Elite Boar was simply too slow.

To level up faster, he needed to farm higher-level monsters.

The Boar Forest didn't only have boars; there were also monkeys, wild wolves, fierce tigers, and other ferocious beasts.

Monkeys were too agile and mostly lived in trees, making them not a good target.

Wild wolves were fast, had high attack power, and moved in packs... they were definitely the best target for leveling up.

But the premise was being able to defeat... a pack of wild wolves!

If it were before, Wei Kai would never dare to touch them, but now...

With the Mudslinger Set, no matter how many wild wolves there were, he could send them flying.

"This move is simply a divine skill for AoE!"

Wei Kai couldn't help but exclaim, while also pondering: "Should I learn this skill when I go back?"

If he learned it, the set's effect would become skill level +1.

If he didn't learn it, he could save a skill point to learn other skills.

One more skill meant one more method.

The saved skill points could be used to learn skills like Whirlwind Slash, Crippling Strike, or Battle Roar.

"It seems like having one more skill is better no matter how you look at it." Wei Kai scratched his head.

However, the Charge skill would have to be learned sooner or later; after all, it was a warrior's signature move.

He could get it through the set now, but he would still need to make up for it after getting new equipment in the future.

Otherwise, it would be like missing a skill to approach enemies and get in their faces.

If he didn't have Charge, he would only be kited in the future.

While thinking, Wei Kai walked deeper into the forest, and the surrounding environment gradually grew darker.

As he walked, a pair of green eyes suddenly appeared ahead.

Wei Kai was stunned for a moment but quickly reacted—the wolves were here!

"Good timing!"

He immediately drew his longsword, holding it horizontally in front of him, his eyes fixed on the eyes in the bushes.

Just then, a sound suddenly came from behind him.

"┗|`O′|┛ Awoo~~!"

Two wild wolves lunged at him from different directions.

The wild wolf in the bushes ahead also darted out and roared at Wei Kai.

At this moment, he was surrounded on three sides!

But fortunately, Wei Kai was calm enough not to panic, instead calmly rolling to the side.

The next moment, the two wild wolves simultaneously pounced on his original position, but unfortunately, they missed.

Wei Kai quickly got up, then saw the formation of the three wild wolves and immediately smiled.

"Clustering together? Isn't this just asking to be hit!"
