Chapter 4: Irritable Rabbit? Instant Kill! Dungeon Monster
In the dark, dense forest, moonlight streamed like silk.
A three-meter-tall Irritable Rabbit roared, charging wildly as it pursued its target.
To ordinary people, the Irritable Rabbit was a deadly beast.
It had a powerful physique and was fast. Although it wasn't an elite monster, its level nine attributes meant that several combat Professionals usually needed to team up to kill it at level 0.
Closer, closer!
It smelled that enticing scent…
The scent of newly-transferred Professionals!
By killing these two Professionals, it would likely reach level 10 and then begin its advancement!
Evolving from a Common Irritable Rabbit into an Elite Irritable Rabbit!
A hint of anticipation even flickered in its agitated eyes.
Yes, to some extent, monsters also possessed intelligence.
They were just more irritable and ferocious.
Killing all living beings was their mission in this world.
The two targets that had startled it had now stopped not far away.
The ferocity in its eyes intensified, and it let out a sharp cry, lunging forward to tear its targets apart.
But at one moment, one of the targets in front suddenly shifted its feet and vanished from its original spot.
The Irritable Rabbit was momentarily bewildered. Before it could react, a brilliant blade light suddenly appeared behind it, striking it fiercely.
Then, a shocking amount of damage instantly appeared! -1355!
The Irritable Rabbit's health bar, which had just appeared above its head, instantly dropped a huge chunk, almost getting it one-shotted.
Qin Xiaoyou was stunned.
The Irritable Rabbit was also stunned.
Its health plummeted from full to near-death, and the Irritable Rabbit's roar abruptly ceased.
Then, a visible look of fear actually appeared on its face, and it turned its head, intending to run away.
It was actually trying to escape?
Qin Xiaoyou snapped back to reality, not bothering to wonder why such terrifying damage had been dealt. She moved her feet, instantly catching up to the fleeing Irritable Rabbit, and another brilliant blade light flashed.
-597!
Another terrifying number appeared.
While still running, the Irritable Rabbit slammed into the ground with a thud, no longer moving!
It was dead.
Qin Xiaoyou landed, her expression a little dazed as she looked at the dagger in her hand.
…
“Are you hurt?”
Qin Fang's voice brought Qin Xiaoyou back to her senses.
She looked up and quickly shook her head: “I’m fine…”
After speaking, her eyes gradually brightened, and she said excitedly: “Brother, did you see that? That damage just now?”
“Hmm, I saw it.” Qin Fang was also a little shocked, and he nodded with a smile.
“But why was it so high?”
Qin Xiaoyou looked confused.
After all, her panel attack power was only 695, yet she dealt over 1300 damage in one hit, almost double.
Plus, the Irritable Rabbit definitely had defense, and although she couldn't see it, it wouldn't be too low.
The damage just didn't make sense.
“Your passive.”
Qin Fang reminded her.
Qin Xiaoyou paused and quickly looked at her passive skill.
Only then did a hint of realization dawn on her…
‘While walking in the night, all attributes are increased by fifty percent.’
It was currently night!
“But, even with a fifty percent increase, it shouldn't…”
“What about backstab damage?”
Qin Xiaoyou quickly looked at the description of backstab in her skills.
【Backstab Lv1: When attacking an enemy from behind, damage is increased by 30%...】
Only then did she fully understand.
Then, her eyes gradually lit up, and she finally couldn't help but ask: “Brother, how… how did you do it?”
She was too curious.
Comparing the Farmer from before to the Shadow Assassin now… they were completely different things, right?!
And all these changes were caused simply because her brother had her press a handprint on a piece of paper…
How could she not be curious?
“Let's talk about it when we get back.”
Qin Fang, however, smiled and said, “It's not safe here. There might be other monsters wandering around.”
Qin Xiaoyou was momentarily stunned, then looked up at the dim surroundings.
This place used to be terrifying.
But now, after she instantly killed an Irritable Rabbit with two strikes… it wasn’t scary anymore.
Her eyes sparkling, she excitedly brandished the dagger in her hand: “It’s fine, I’m incredibly strong now!… I can protect you!”
Seeing her take charge, Qin Fang chuckled and patted her head: “I know you’re the best… Alright, let’s talk when we get back.”
As he spoke, he walked over and propped up the motorcycle.
Seeing Qin Fang say this, Qin Xiaoyou didn't press further, standing still with a blank stare.
…She was clearly looking at her panel.
Qin Fang fiddled with the motorcycle for a long time, trying to start it a few times, but there was no response at all.
The bike was too old and should have been scrapped long ago.
It was only because they had no money that they had scraped together enough for a long time to salvage this barely usable one from the junkyard.
Now, after this fall, it was completely written off.
“We’ll have to walk back.”
After tinkering for a while without success, Qin Fang said helplessly to Qin Xiaoyou.
Qin Xiaoyou withdrew her gaze from the panel and nodded.
Then she turned her head back to look at the Irritable Rabbit's corpse.
At this moment, the Irritable Rabbit's corpse had already begun to emit faint specks of light, and it would soon disappear.
“Too bad it didn’t drop anything…”
“The Dungeon Monsters outside are mostly from normal dungeons, so the drop rate is inherently low.”
Qin Fang also glanced at it and said.
He had been in this world for two years, and he hadn't done nothing.
Although he had no money to go to school, he had still managed to gather some common knowledge through various channels.
…The Irritable Rabbit was a Dungeon Monster.
The so-called ‘Dungeon Monsters’ didn't just appear inside ‘Dungeons’.
When a Dungeon couldn't be perfectly cleared by people for a long time, the monsters inside would ‘refresh’ in the real world.
After being killed, the bodies of these monsters would disappear.
But after a period of time, they would be ‘refreshed’ again.
…This was also why there were more and more monsters in the real world now.
After all…
Perfectly clearing a Dungeon was not that easy.
Entering a Dungeon first had a rank limit.
If one exceeded it, they could no longer enter.
And a perfect clear referred to clearing an ‘Abyss-level Dungeon’.
Dungeon difficulties, from low to high, were divided into ‘Normal’, ‘Hard’, ‘Hell’… and finally ‘Abyss’.
The difficulty leap between each level was enormous.
The highest Abyss-level difficulty was said to only be possible for teams of ‘Excellent-grade’ or higher Professionals with excellent equipment to clear at the same level.
After a perfect clear, the Dungeon would not disappear.
But the Dungeon Monsters would no longer appear in the real world…
Dungeons were very useful to humans, because Professionals naturally needed to kill these Dungeon Monsters to level up.
And Dungeon Monsters would also drop various items.
Weapons, equipment, recovery potions, advancement materials, and so on.
However, the existence of Dungeons also made the survival of ordinary people in this world extremely difficult.
These Dungeon Monsters refreshed without regularity, and any place within a certain range could be a refresh point.
For example, Qin Xiaoyou's parents died during a Dungeon Monster refresh… they were simply unlucky enough to encounter a monster's refresh point.
Therefore, a Dungeon that had been perfectly cleared… was a good Dungeon.
…
“Company Reputation, it seems, can be obtained through Dungeons…”
Qin Fang looked at the panel in front of him, and even he couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement.
…The future plan had to change again.
He thought.
“Brother?”
Qin Fang, who had unknowingly fallen into contemplation, was interrupted by Qin Xiaoyou's voice.
Snapping back to reality, he smiled and said softly: “Let’s go, let’s go home first.”
