The matter of the contract was settled very quickly. Li Jianyi got the contract and hurriedly went offline to work. He rarely played the game. He only logged on to take a look when there was something going on. Of course, when he went offline, he specially reminded Li Huailin that there was a competition tomorrow morning. Moreover, it was the opening battle, so he had to be there.
Li Huailin was originally sincere about participating in the competition. Naturally, he nodded. He didn't sleep in, so of course, there was no problem.
Feng Yiliu also said goodbye. He probably wanted to look for He Yan and check on the situation. Li Huailin also told him about the team dungeon tomorrow night. Feng Yiliu had already reached level 30. After saying that he understood, he left. In the end, only Sad Autumn and Li Huailin were left.
"So you're the daughter of Tianheng Company. That's strange. Why do I have an impression of your face? Did you see it in the newspaper?" Li Huailin asked.
"I rarely appear in the newspaper before," Sad Autumn said. Yi Shuiqiu said, "I rarely participate in my father's company. This time, he really couldn't find anyone, so he asked me to participate. If I knew that you wanted to play in the S-League, I would have recommended you to my father."
"I only heard about it today, so I made a decision at the last minute." Li Huailin didn't care which company he signed with. After all, he was only doing it to play in the league. If Sad Autumn had mentioned it to him before, he might have signed with Tianheng.
"It's a pity that I don't care much about the company. I actually didn't think of this at that time," Sad Autumn said regretfully.
"Forget it. Now that the contract has been signed, it looks like we're not fated to be together. Let's do the quest," Li Huailin said.
"Okay." Sad Autumn nodded. "Let's go. The quest location is in the south of the city. It's not far from here, but it's still a twenty minute journey."
"That speed." Li Huailin quickly formed a party with Sorrowful Autumn and left the city. They headed towards the direction that Sorrowful Autumn had brought them. Of course, Li Huailin, who had nothing to do, was prepared to chat with Sorrowful Autumn. Sorrowful Autumn was a silent person, and basically didn't speak. Only Li Huailin could speak first.
"You just said that you don't care much about the company. It's a bit strange. Your family runs a company. Don't you want to inherit the family business? You have a brother? Or do you have a bad relationship with Father? "Li Huailin asked casually.
"No, I'm an only child. My relationship with my father isn't bad, but it's not very good either." Sorrowful Autumn said. "Father is a bit of an autocrat. From the moment I was born, he educated me as his successor. However, I don't really want to inherit the company. My dream is to be an artist … Of course, I was scolded by Father …"
"Hehe, artist …" No matter which century, an artist was a profession that was difficult for family members to understand. Although becoming famous could make a lot of money, before becoming famous, it was an 'unstable job'. Especially for people like Sorrowful Autumn, who had a big company at home. One could imagine how much his father opposed it.
"Actually, I know that Father is having a hard time, and I want to help him. That's why I agreed to participate in the S-rank competition. Father was also very happy. He even showed a rare smile." Sorrowful Autumn sighed. "Now, I don't know if I should pursue my dream or pursue the smile of my family … I haven't drawn in a long time. I can't draw anything now …"
"Having a family is already very good," Li Huailin said. "Take care of your father. Looking at your age, your father should be at least 50 years old. Dreams are indeed a good thing, but you have to consider your family. If you can't even take care of your family, even if you become an artist in the end, who will share your joy with you? "
"…" Sorrowful Autumn thought for a while before saying, "You're right, thank you … I will communicate with my father more in the future. But from what you said, could it be that your parents … "
"Yes, I lost my parents eight years ago." Li Huailin said. "Originally, I had a master who took care of me. He was considered my family, but later on, this old man kept saying that he wanted to kill me …"
"Kill you?" Sorrowful Autumn said. "Why?"
"He said that killing me was the only way for him to atone for his sins." Li Huailin spread his hands. "Why didn't he ask for my opinion?"
"What the hell did you do? Why did your master have such a big reaction? "Sorrowful Autumn asked.
"Cough cough … It's hard to say … It's a little complicated." Li Huailin said. "But the main thing is that I don't know what's going on, so it's hard for me to say."
"Is that so …" Sorrowful Autumn looked at Li Huailin strangely. After giving it some thought, he decided not to ask. He and Li Huailin weren't close enough to talk about anything. They had only fought a dungeon together once. There was no need for him to tell him everything. So, he looked at the road in front of him and said, "Oh, we'll be there soon."
Li Huailin looked up. Sorrow of Autumn was pointing at a small path. There were cliffs on both sides, and there was a very small path in the middle. Although it was obvious that it was man-made, it was very difficult to find. As expected of an AA Hidden Quest, hiding in a place like this was very difficult.
"It's a little weird up ahead. It's level 23. I used to train here." After Sorrow of Autumn explained the situation, he discovered this small path. After entering it, he saw a small hidden village. Then, he received this quest.
"Oh." Li Huailin nodded.
Following Autumn Sorrow, they continued to walk deeper. After walking for a bit, they saw a few monsters. The monster's name was Demonized Wild Wolf, and its appearance was similar to the Level 7 Wild Wolves in the Novice Village. The only difference was that this Demonized Wild Wolf was slightly larger than the Level 7 Wild Wolves in the Novice Village. Moreover, the Demonized Wild Wolf's fur had turned dark purple, and its eyes were red. At first glance, the Demonized Wild Wolf gave off a very fierce feeling. However, Li Huailin knew that this thing was not a threat to him.
Glancing at them, Shi Feng discovered that they were Level 23. Although there were quite a lot of them, he only received 1 EXP each time he killed them. They had 1350 HP. Li Huailin could kill one with a single slash.
"The village is up ahead," Sorrowful Autumn said as he pointed ahead.
Li Huailin squinted his eyes. Sure enough, he could see some wooden buildings. However, he couldn't see them clearly. The surrounding trees blocked his vision. Still, he knew that the village wasn't far away. It would only take him a few minutes to walk there.
However, the pack of wolves was extremely annoying. They just so happened to be on the path to the village. Although Li Huailin's level was high, he still needed to clear the monsters. Although the wolves weren't a threat to him, they were still a little troublesome.
"Let's clear them," Li Huailin said as he took out his two-handed sword, preparing to clear the monsters.
Sorrowful Autumn nodded. She was already very familiar with the method. This was her training spot. She had been fighting these wolves since Level 20, so she was already very familiar with the path.
Perhaps it was because dogs had a keen sense of smell, but the wolves' detection range was very wide. The moment Li Huailin entered the village, three wolves charged at Li Huailin.
"Sweep!" Without thinking, Li Huailin attacked with a Sweep. The wolves only had 1350 HP. His Sweep was enough to kill three of them.
However, the result was completely different from what Li Huailin had imagined. Li Huailin's Sweep actually caused a few numbers to appear that even Li Huailin couldn't believe.
-801, -776, -793.
Although the three wolves had been attacked, they didn't die. After a slight pause, they pounced at Li Huailin once more.
"Huh? What's going on? " Li Huailin was stunned. How did he deal over 700 damage? His base attack was already close to 1,500. What was going on?
To confirm, Li Huailin used Whirlwind Slash again. This time, the damage was even lower. Three damage values of around -600 appeared above the Demonized Wolves' heads. However, this damage was enough. The three wolves still fell.
"Huh? What's going on? Why did my damage suddenly drop? Do these wolves have some kind of skill that reduces physical damage? "Li Huailin thought curiously.
Li Huailin had a strange expression on his face. Naturally, he began to search for the reason. Of course, when he opened up his character's status window, he finally understood what was going on.
In the character's status window, Li Huailin's current Strength had dropped to 325 points. Naturally, this meant that his Attack Power had decreased. Fortunately, he was wielding a purple two-handed sword. Otherwise, he wouldn't even be able to deal 700 to 800 damage.
However, what was going on? Why did my Strength suddenly decrease? Li Huailin hurriedly looked at his Buffs. Then, Li Huailin understood.
The "Vulgar" curse that increased his attributes by 80% had expired. Now, only the "Beast in Human Clothing" title still increased his attributes by 20%. Now, his Strength had dropped to 325 points. That was definitely because of his Attack Power.
"Damn, it just had to happen at this time. I forgot." Li Huailin had indeed forgotten. The last time he had this title was when he met the Princess. Counting the time, it was exactly a week ago. This week, Li Huailin was indeed very busy, so much so that he had forgotten about this matter. Li Huailin was also glad that he did not disappear when he was PKing just now. Otherwise, he really wouldn't have been able to kill the opponent. Of course, PKing was definitely not a problem. Just Millet alone was enough to kill the opponent. It was just a little ugly.
"This is a little troublesome. Now that I don't have this buff, it's really troublesome." Although Li Huailin did not want this buff in the beginning, the situation at that time was that he needed to level up. This buff increased his attributes, and in the future, it would be troublesome to level up (or die). However, the situation was different now. Li Huailin really needed this 80% attribute buff.
Tomorrow was the S-rank competition. After this, he would have to clear a group dungeon at night. Then, there would be the battle between the Second Army, Fourth Army, and Nasser's Rebel Army. If he wanted to make a difference, this 80% attribute buff was indispensable.
"This is troublesome. I remember that this buff can only be obtained by molesting an NPC." Li Huailin thought to himself. "If it's molesting a player, it's a 10% increase. I can stack it infinitely, but it's too troublesome. I should find an NPC to do it …"
"But who should I look for?" Li Huailin began to think. First, it had to be a female NPC, and it had to be a slightly prettier one. Otherwise, let alone others, even he would not be able to stand it. Then, the NPC's favorability towards him could not be full. Just like the Immoral Goddess, who let you touch casually, definitely could not be used. This buff could only be used if the other party did not agree.
"So, I have to find a new love-struck fool … F * ck …" Li Huailin facepalmed. Thinking of Phyllis, Li Huailin still had a headache. During the battle between the three forces, he would definitely get Phyllis. What should he do then? Now, there was another one …
"But I still have to find trouble. I need it urgently now." Li Huailin thought. "What kind of good person do I have to choose from … Think about the few female NPCs I know who are slightly passable … That Fourth Princess? No, no, no, this guy's not a fool. It's so annoying … Marlindorff's daughter, Veronica? He's pretty quiet, but I still have a quest I need to hand in. I don't know if it'll just make my face bleed … As for the others … I can't even remember their faces … "
"What's wrong?" Sorrow of Spring walked over and asked. "You seem to be thinking about something just now."
"Thinking about women …" Li Huailin said.
"Huh?" Sorrow of Spring didn't react. Why did he suddenly start thinking about women while fighting monsters?
"I say, Spring, do you know any female NPCs that are slightly better looking and not too clingy?" Li Huailin suddenly asked out of nowhere.
"Huh? Why are you asking this? "Sorrow of Spring asked curiously.
"I need this urgently," Li Huailin said.
"Urgently … What are you …" Sorrow of Spring didn't understand. What was going on? Why did he need a good-looking NPC? What was he trying to do?
"Ahem, to put it simply, I'm not in the right state of mind right now, so I need to find a woman to fix it …" Li Huailin explained honestly.
"Huh? Say that again … "Sorrow of Spring understood, but he didn't understand what Li Huailin was trying to do.
"In fact, I suddenly contracted a serious disease that will kill me if I don't touch women for a period of time …" Li Huailin explained in a serious tone.
"…" Sorrow of Spring was speechless.
"F * ck, what's with that suspicious look? You have to believe me. Have you ever heard of the phrase, 'Believe in Brother Awesome and you'll live forever'?" Li Huailin said.
"Alright, alright, stop messing around. I'm not the type of woman who likes guys with flowery words," Sorrow of Spring said. "We're at the village. Let's do the quest first."
After finishing his sentence, Yi Shui Bei Qiu walked towards the village.
"I'm telling the truth. I really need a woman to touch me first …" Li Huailin facepalmed. "Alright, alright, I'll find one myself. What a headache …"
