75: With two bosses at his command, and a new henchman [Feng Xi]...

"Oh right, this is the newly crafted equipment; I just finished it this afternoon!"

The two were silent for a moment, and Wu Lun began to display the results of his day's work.

【Carved Leather Jacket】

【Black Iron Tier】

【Chest, Leather Armor】

【Physical Defense +10】

【Magic Defense +5】

【HP +30】

【Agility +3】

【Craftsmanship Special Effect: HP +100】

【Durability: 35/35】

(When you have no equipment, this is also a good item...)

Xu Shian carefully examined this piece of equipment...

It was actually Black Iron Tier too! And there were no level restrictions!

This equipment with special effects is truly promising!

The defense is indeed a bit lacking, but the problem is that this piece of equipment adds 130 HP!

Looking at it this way, the remark on this equipment is a bit underwhelming. Is this equipment really just "passable"?

This is definitely better than the Wild Boar Leather Armor Xu Shian is wearing...

Let's look at the leather shoes he brought over!

【Carved Leather Shoes: Physical Defense +8, Magic Defense +3, Agility +2; Craftsmanship Special Effect: Movement Speed +2】

"These two pieces are the best of the batch I made..."

Xu Shian nodded in satisfaction!

"Not bad. Equipment like this won't be hard to sell. You pick out the ones you want first, then list the rest directly on the Auction House. Don't set a maximum price, and set the auction duration to 24 hours! When you craft equipment with better 【Craftsmanship Special Effect】s, bring them to me!"

Wu Lun nodded to show he understood. In fact, he had already crafted a similar set of equipment for himself and put it on!

After all, he was very clear about his relationship with Xu Shian...

As the two were chatting, Xu Shian felt the sky darken completely...

In the game world at night, when the two bright moons rise, the earth seems to be covered in a layer of silver gauze.

Although it is far from as hot and bright as sunlight, it still allows people to see the land clearly.

But now, this layer of silver gauze was shrouded in darkness.

"It's going to rain. Shall we head back?"

Wu Lun looked up at Xu Shian.

Upon hearing this, Xu Shian was a bit taken aback.

"Heh... This game world... actually has rain?"

"The cycle of the four seasons, wind, rain, thunder, and lightning... not a single thing is missing..."

Before they had chatted for long, Xu Shian felt raindrops falling patteringly onto his body.

"I can't even see the fishing float anymore, so let's head back!"

As he said this, he looked at the other anglers around.

He discovered that they had all switched to glowing fishing floats...

Wait... is this right?

Whether it's right or not... they've already changed them.

Returning to the inn, he made some potions and grenades for a while. Once Wu Lun delivered the bamboo hat, Xu Shian went to sleep.

Now that he had minions, he didn't need to do everything himself!

When he woke up the next morning, he received his first piece of good news.

After many days, his 【Stealth】 had finally reached level two!

【Stealth: Level 2】 Black Iron Skill

【Upgrade Condition: Stealth time criteria met: 2.3/200】

【Requirement: Use while out of combat.】

Use: Enter Stealth state, movement speed reduced by 45%, effect lasts until cancelled or an attack is initiated.

Black Iron Special Effect: Enter deeper shadows, making it difficult to be detected by ordinary reconnaissance effects.

Cooldown: 10 seconds

It was a pity that Xu Shian's talent provided no bonus to Stealth.

But it must be said, humans have a natural yearning for invisibility...

At least Xu Shian yearned for it; it was simply an essential skill for home travel, murder, and looting!

He checked the time; it was 4:30 AM!

Washing up and eating were done in one go...

The Wild Boar King didn't respawn yesterday, so it definitely had to respawn today. If a 72-hour BOSS didn't respawn, then no one else could play!

Shi Chuan: I'm going to catch the Wild Boar King, do you want to come along?

This private message was sent to An Xixi...

After all, she had sworn she wanted to go together yesterday, so he had to call her regardless!

This private message is proof; I called you. If you can't get up, you can't blame me...

When he walked out of the inn, there was still a light, drizzling rain outside. Looking at the sky, it shouldn't take long for it to clear up.

He took out the oversized bamboo hat that Wu Lun had delivered last night and jammed it onto his head.

Xu Shian stepped into the water and headed toward the East Gate.

By the time he arrived at the Wild Boar King's forest, more than an hour had passed!

Xu Shian wandered around the area, stepping on the post-rain ground; there were still puddles in some of the depressions...

This really is a realistic world!

Ink Shadow and Night Pupil had already taken to the sky, circling back and forth several times, confirming that the Wild Boar King had not yet respawned.

Xu Shian recalled that the last time, it was around 7 o'clock when he successfully tamed Pigsy...

He checked the time; he wouldn't have to wait much longer!

Taking a look at his own Pigsy, Xu Shian felt that with a powerful healer, he could wear the Wild Boar King BOSS down to death...

【Pigsy, Player 'Shi Chuan's' Tamed Pet】

【Level: 5】 (Black Iron Rank)

【Upgrade EXP: 23976/50000】

【Race: Beast】

【Toughness Type】

【HP: 3540】 (Black Iron Rank Bonus)

【Strength: 85+4.2+40】

【Agility: 75+3.1+40】

【Constitution: 90+3.5+40】

【Physical Attack: 387.6】

【Physical Defense: 59+15】

【Magic Defense: 59+10】

【Toughness Skills: Charge, Thick Skin, Taunt】

【Special Skills: Frenzied Bite, Serrated Tusks】

(Agility and Defense attributes modified; ordinary units' defense is now Agility * 0.3, Pigsy counts as a Black Iron BOSS, so it is Agility * 0.5; additionally, player attack speed starts at 0.4. Also set: for every 100 points of Agility added, attack speed increases by 0.1 and critical hit rate by 1%. BOSSes are calculated differently. I'll see how the previous data looks... and modify accordingly...)

Because he wanted to tame a second Wild Boar King, Xu Shian didn't summon the two cats!

Instead, he summoned the thick-skinned Peppa family.

Four level five wild boars, each with over 1800 HP.

With this level of strength on his side, he didn't need to make any other preparations.

He could just crush it directly!

Of course, being able to catch it doesn't mean he can beat it...

Just as he was checking the territory he had conquered, Xu Shian's private chat beeped.

"Xu Shian, you're not being loyal..."

"I was afraid of disturbing Sister Lili's rest, so I specifically sent you a private message. I waited for ages and you didn't respond, so I had to leave first!"

"What about a voice message? Would that disturb my mom?"

"Hey, I was just worried about you being grumpy when you wake up! What if you took it out on my Sister Lili?"

"You..."

"Enough talking... the BOSS has respawned..."

"Can you at least record a video for me?"

"No problem, hanging up..."

Xu Shian didn't lie to her; the BOSS had indeed respawned!

Just a moment ago, while Xu Shian was chatting with An Xixi, Ink Shadow's voice appeared in Xu Shian's mind.

"Boss, it's out..."

He opened the recording system, not very skillfully!

He also wanted to let An Xixi understand the price one needs to pay to tame this kind of BOSS.

As usual, he arranged for a Wild Rabbit minion to bait out the opponent's Charge!

After all, this skill deals over 1500 base damage in one hit!

Even Pigsy would have a hard time taking that hit!

However, this time, after the opponent used Charge on the Wild Rabbit, Pigsy used Taunt to pull the aggro directly onto himself.

Xu Shian followed closely behind, getting close to channel 【Tame Beast】!

Even though it had been butting heads with Pigsy enthusiastically earlier, the moment it was enveloped by the light of Tame Beast, the 'Wild Boar King' turned its red eyes toward Xu Shian.

Pigsy used Taunt again...

【Ding, Taming failed!】

The Wild Boar King turned its head and started fighting with Pigsy again.

Xu Shian sighed, used Mend Pet, and after the cooldown, followed up with a bandage to try and maintain Pigsy's HP.

Although Lifesteal Aura was already level three, each hit only recovered ten HP!

One could only say... it was better than nothing!

Finally, the ten-second cooldown for 【Tame Beast】 ended...

He ordered Pigsy to stay put and not attack anymore!

Xu Shian began another round of taking hits...

Ten seconds later, a flash of golden light passed!

Another adorable 'Wild Boar King' stood in front of Xu Shian!

Unfortunately, there were no extra system rewards for the second one.

The first step after taming: rename the minion. Let's call it 【Feng Tiao】!
