Hiss~!
My eyes!
Lin Youyu quickly closed the regional channel.
She originally wanted to see if anyone had any useful information to share.
As a result, these guys went off the rails as they chatted.
Speaking of which... can initial heroes be used like that?
Lin Youyu couldn't help but secretly glance at Gu Shao Shang beside her.
If it were Gu Dage...
The next second;
Lin Youyu quickly shook her head vigorously.
Trying to shake out the dirty thoughts in her head.
"What's wrong?"
Gu Shao Shang looked at Lin Youyu, who suddenly seemed possessed, with a puzzled expression.
"N-nothing!"
Lin Youyu guiltily looked away, not daring to meet his eyes.
Hmph~!
It's all the fault of those idiots in the regional channel.
Why can't they just chat properly and share more useful information?
What the hell is going off the rails at the drop of a hat?
Gu Shao Shang glanced suspiciously at the strange Lin Youyu, then threw the empty packaging bag in his hand into the bonfire, clapped his hands, and stood up.
"Are you finished eating?"
Gu Shao Shang asked.
Lin Youyu nodded. With her naturally small appetite, she couldn't eat anymore after a few bites.
"Let's go. Today's daytime will be longer than yesterday. Let's try to level up a few more times before the novice protection period ends."
Gu Shao Shang said.
He was currently level 3, needing 50 experience points to level up to 4. Before dark last night, he had already accumulated 28 experience points, so he only needed 22 more to level up.
By then, his Blood Drain talent could also be upgraded to C Grade.
A C Grade talent was already not bad!
And Gu Shao Shang's ultimate goal for today was to reach level 10!
This way, he would gain a new talent.
By then, he would have three talents!
"Hopefully, I'll get a talent that increases damage."
Gu Shao Shang thought to himself.
...
Coming out of the Safe Zone and crossing a dirt slope, a scene of devastation met their eyes.
Although they occasionally saw Prairie Wolves hunting Giant Rabbits in this wilderness yesterday, overall, it still felt quite peaceful.
It wasn't the kind of dangerous environment that made one's heart pound at first glance.
But after one night;
The side where the Safe Zone was located was fine because the area was small, and beyond it was a cliff. But the side after crossing this dirt slope had already become a scene of ruin.
The grassland as far as the eye could see was riddled with pits, and some places even had scorched black marks from burning.
Broken limbs were everywhere, and the scene was covered in bloodstains.
Lin Youyu was a girl, after all.
Seeing this scene, she subconsciously leaned closer to Gu Shao Shang, her small hand tightly gripping his clothes.
"Gu Dage, how did this place become like this?"
Lin Youyu said somewhat nervously.
Gu Shao Shang shook his head, his gaze fixed on the distance. Fortunately, he could still see some figures of Prairie Wolves moving on the grassland, but their numbers were much fewer than yesterday.
Heaven knows what kind of terrifying slaughter happened here last night?
Luckily, neither he nor Lin Youyu had overly arrogant personalities. Otherwise, Lin Youyu wouldn't have died, since 100 revives per day was no joke.
But as for Gu Shao Shang himself... it would be hard to say!
Continuing forward, the two also cautiously observed the slightest movement around them along the way.
When passing some bushes, Lin Youyu would stop and use her Gathering skill to collect from them, harvesting some fiber and berries.
At this moment, a patch of ground ahead suddenly bulged high.
Following that, a rabbit's head broke through the earth from underground and emerged.
One, two, three... a full five Giant Rabbits crawled out from that hole.
Swish~!
A sword light flew over.
One sword pierced through the body of one of the Giant Rabbits.
One hand gripped the hilt and pulled it out, bringing forth a spray of blood!
Squeak squeak—
The other Giant Rabbits immediately rushed forward with red eyes.
Gu Shao Shang dodged the attacks of these Giant Rabbits while swinging his sword to deal damage to them repeatedly.
Some attacks that he absolutely couldn't dodge, Gu Shao Shang simply took head-on.
7 points of physical defense meant that even if Gu Shao Shang was hit head-on by these Giant Rabbits, he would only lose 2 health points.
He could recover this amount of health with one use of Blood Drain.
So later on, Gu Shao Shang even became too lazy to dodge.
A moment later;
The five Giant Rabbits were killed.
Looking at Gu Shao Shang's health again.
It hadn't dropped at all!
【Experience +3】
【Experience +3】
【...】
The five Giant Rabbits brought Gu Shao Shang 15 experience points.
He was only 7 points away from leveling up again.
At this time, Lin Youyu ran over and used Gathering on the corpses of the five Giant Rabbits on the ground.
She gathered a pile of rabbit meat and fur.
Ten-plus minutes later;
Thump~!
Accompanied by the fall of a Prairie Wolf's corpse.
A faint golden light also flashed across Gu Shao Shang's body.
Leveled up!

The talent level increased again.
And this time;
The effect had changed significantly compared to before!
Two-Stage Slash!
Two crossing sword lights slashed down.
This last Prairie Wolf also died under Gu Shao Shang's sword.
【Experience +3】
Before leveling up, killing a Prairie Wolf could bring Gu Shao Shang 5 experience points.
But after leveling up to level 4, the experience points given by a Prairie Wolf decreased to 3 points.
