Someone like you wouldn't survive three chapters in a novel!

"Whoosh!!"

The sound of something piercing through the air rang out. Chen Ming raised his hand and fired an arrow, which landed precisely on the Wandering Pheasant's head.

-70 points.

-16 points (true damage).

-70 points (fire attribute magic attack power).

...

With just one arrow, the Wandering Pheasant's health bar evaporated, leaving only 4 points remaining.

Chen Ming lowered the [sun chaser] in his hand, and the [Hunter] class execution effect activated.

An instant kill!

...

[Ding, you have successfully killed the Wandering Pheasant, EXP +2 points.]

A kill notification popped up before his eyes. Chen Ming did not linger; he strode forward and soon arrived outside the [Goblin Forest].

[Ding, based on your level, the current map is too dangerous. Please choose carefully.]

A bright red danger warning popped up before his eyes. Chen Ming ignored it completely and strode inside.

Compared to the farmland outside, there were far fewer players in the [Goblin Forest], and the majority were in parties.

"Brother, I see you're alone. Do you want to party up? Our team is just short a ranged damage dealer."

A middle-aged man holding a shield stepped forward and said.

[Ding, player [Xinghan - Lianpo] has sent you a party invitation. Do you accept?]

Chen Ming decisively refused, "Sorry, I'm used to being alone and don't want to join a party for the time being."

In [Eternal], although players receive an extra EXP bonus for partying, the experience must be split equally among all members.

Chen Ming had the ability to solo, so naturally, he would not choose to join a party.

"That's a real shame." [Xinghan - Lianpo] did not get angry after being rejected, but instead took the initiative to warn him, "Brother, be careful on your own. The monsters here like to move in packs. Several teams have already been wiped out just a moment ago."

"Thanks!" Chen Ming nodded, then turned and walked toward the depths of the [Goblin Forest].

"Boss, this kid really doesn't know how to show respect. Inviting him was giving him face, yet he actually dared to refuse."

"Should we take him out?"

A young man with yellow hair stared at Chen Ming's retreating back and said gloomily.

[Xinghan - Lianpo] glanced at him and slapped him directly on the head.

"Boss, why did you hit me?" The yellow-haired youth looked aggrieved.

"Cut the crap with that dog temper of yours. Someone like you wouldn't survive past three chapters in a novel."

"He has the guts to come to the [Goblin Forest] alone, so he must have something up his sleeve."

"What good would it do you to kill him?"

Having said that, a frustrated [Xinghan - Lianpo] kicked the yellow-haired youth again.

"Boss, I was wrong."

...

Meanwhile, in the depths of the [Goblin Forest].

Chen Ming locked his gaze onto three [Goblin Warrior] monsters in the distance.

[Goblin Warrior]

[Level: 3]

[HP: 300/300]

[Strength: 15]

[intelligence: 10]

[Agility: 12]

[stamina: 15]

[Spirit: 10]

[physical attack: 30]

[magic attack power: 20]

[Physical Defense: 22]

[Magic Defense: 15]

[Skill: Wolf Tooth Strike Lv2]

[Description: Greedy, pathetic, sinister, lewd... base and inferior creatures.]

...

The monsters in [Eternal] were as perverted as ever; the three [Goblin Warrior]s' stats completely crushed players of the same level.

Chen Ming skillfully drew his bow and nocked an arrow.

"Whoosh!!"

As the bowstring vibrated, the arrow pierced through the air and accurately struck the head of the leading [Goblin Warrior].

-61 points.

-16 points (true damage).

-55 points (fire attribute magic attack power).

-2 points (poison damage).

With just one arrow, nearly half of the [Goblin Warrior]'s health bar was wiped out.

"Roar, roar!!"

The three [Goblin Warrior]s, having been attacked, brandished the spiked wooden clubs in their hands and charged rapidly toward Chen Ming.

Chen Ming's expression remained unchanged as he continued to draw his bow and nock arrows.

[Hunter] granted him an attack range of up to 300 meters.

Given the [Goblin Warrior]s' 12 Agility, Chen Ming could easily kill them several times over before they ever got close.

"Whoosh, whoosh!!"

Accompanied by bursts of air-piercing sounds, all three [Goblin Warrior]s were shot dead before they had even charged 100 meters.

[Ding, you have killed a [Goblin Warrior], EXP +10 points.] x3

Three consecutive kill notifications popped up before his eyes.

"It dropped something!"

Chen Ming stared at the corpse of the [Goblin Warrior] at the front, his eyes filled with pleasant surprise.

The drop rate for monsters in [Eternal] could only be described as outrageous.

In his past life, players had experimented and concluded that the drop rate for ordinary monsters was not even one percent.

"My luck is exploding!"

Chen Ming quickly stepped forward and picked up the dropped items.

[Ding, congratulations on obtaining 5 gold coins.]

[Ding, congratulations on obtaining the skill scroll — Wolf Summoning Art.]

[Wolf Summoning Art. Skill Scroll]

[Quality: black iron grade.]

[Effect: Use to learn the skill — Wolf Summoning Art.]

[Wolf Summoning Art: Summon a mutated wolf of the same level as yourself to assist in battle. Duration: 3 minutes.]

...

"Not bad!"

As a ranged, squishy class, Rangers were heavily dependent on teammates.

Therefore, in his past life, many Rangers would master some summoning-type skills to assist in battle.

Chen Ming's mind stirred, and he activated his talent.

[Ding, you have activated Forbidden Talent on the target [Wolf Summoning Art], successfully obtaining a Tier 3 enhancement.]

[Congratulations on obtaining the skill scroll — Azure Source Ice Wolf Summoning Art (gold grade).]

[Ding, you have activated Forbidden Talent on the target [Wolf Summoning Art], successfully Enchanting the golden affix: Heart of Growth.]

The moment the notification finished, Chen Ming crushed the scroll in his hand.

[You have successfully learned the skill — Azure Source Ice Wolf Summoning Art (gold grade)]

[Azure Source Ice Wolf Summoning Art Lv1: Summon an Azure Source Ice Wolf to assist in battle.]

[Additional Affix: Heart of Growth (Gold): The Azure Source Ice Wolf you summon will exist permanently and can continuously evolve and grow by devouring boss-level monster corpses. If the Azure Source Ice Wolf dies, it can be resurrected after 24 hours.]

...

"This affix effect..."

"Isn't it too broken?"

Chen Ming looked surprised.

Existing permanently, and able to evolve by devouring boss corpses.

This was like having a pet with infinite growth potential.

Chen Ming took a deep breath, suppressed the excitement in his heart, and decisively activated the skill.

A spatial gate constructed of ice and snow appeared out of thin air before his eyes.

Immediately following, a giant ice-blue wolf, over two meters tall, stepped out from within.

Its two sharp fangs, under the illumination of the sunlight, reflected a cold, chilling gleam like daggers.
