'Successful Harvesting, obtain [Fanged Boar Skin (Damaged)] Γ—1, and increase [Gathering] proficiency. ’

'Harvest successfully, obtain [Wild Boar (Tenderloin)] Γ—3, and increase [Gathering] proficiency. ’

'Gathering fails, [Gathering] proficiency increases. ’

……

'[Gathering] Current Level: Lv0, Mastery: 18%'

After Xian Zimo clumsily collected the two wild boars with his sword for a long time, he could be considered to have packed up the spoils, a process that made him feel more tired than fighting. In addition to items that are randomly dropped after killing, the corpses of beasts can also be collected.

However, this game that pursues reality has a "surprise" setting, and the official also uses it as a selling point - [Gathering] can be cast by pressing a button, but that will only collect random items, and the quality is generally not high. If you want to pick the specific parts and high-quality items, you have to do it yourself.

Of course, this process will be simplified. After all, the purpose of this game is not to train butchers, and this setting is only to improve the game experience and increase playability.

After cutting the heads of the two wild boars, Xian Zimo collected their long tusks one after another, but the problem was that they all gave "[Fanged Boar Fangs (Broken)". I think it's because the [Collection] level is too low, or maybe it's because the tusks are too deep in the tree, causing damage.

In any case, as long as you are a player, you can see that even if it is a quest item, it has a difference in quality. It is not difficult to think that the quality of the task item will definitely affect the level of the "mission evaluation".

"These four fangs are useless, it looks like it will take a little more time."

Stuffing the fangs and other collected items into his backpack, Xian Zi muttered to himself. Fortunately, this is in the game, otherwise the little rag bag that the novice is carrying will probably not even be able to fit the fangs.

He walked deeper into the woods and continued to look for the boar. It's been a while since I've been out of combat, and my health has slowly recovered to "12/30".

Soon, he reaped the rewards. Not far away, in a field of mud, he saw the guys wrapped in mud again.

This time, he didn't dare to make a move in a hurry. There was a herd of wild boars in front of me, and at least 8 of them were there.

Fanged boars are marked with skulls next to their names, indicating that they are aggressive creatures. God knows if they'll rush up when they do, and the female boar who followed her mate may be an exception.

But it's not like it's helpless. You can see that in the wild boar herd, the male wild boars are busy rubbing their bodies on the trees at this time. This seems to be a crucial thing for them, preferring to have a tree to themselves rather than having fun with other wild boars.

And this gave Xian Zimo an opportunity to take advantage of it, and those trees separated by a few meters also divided the field of vision of the male wild boar. After observing for a while, he began to lean little by little from the forest to the nearest boar.

When he was about five meters away, the male boar finally spotted him and ran towards him with a snort. Since it didn't make a lot of noise, the other boars didn't notice anything unusual here.

Xian Zimo was relieved, if this male boar would call for other people of the same kind, he would only have to flee for his life now.

Turning back the same way, leading the wild boar chasing after him, he unconsciously ran to the place where he killed the "wild boar couple" before. The corpses beside the two trees had not yet refreshed at this time.

He looked for a tree again and stopped: "It's far enough to get here." ”

And looking at the male boar who followed him all the way, it seemed that he also saw the carcasses of the two wild boars next to him. Suddenly, he was also in the state of [Rampage].

Xian Zimo also understood - the two wild boars killed by himself were also members of the wild boar herd.

"So angry? Am I going to slaughter your courtesans? ”

He said sarcastically, but in his heart, he had already begun to count silently with the action of the wild boar's hoof.

1、2、3、4!

This time, Xian Zimo's operation was a little smoother than before, and after dodging the attack, the wild boar unsurprisingly stuck its fangs into the tree. Next, it's time to slaughter without suspense.

The sword hit the vital point, and after five swords, the wild boar followed in the footsteps of its kind. His body went limp, and he fell unwillingly in front of the tree.

'Kill the Fanged Boar and gain 5 experience. ’

'Skip a kill and gain an additional 1 experience. ’

After picking up the two [Sweet Berries] dropped by the boar, he once again simply split the boar's carcass with his sword. After collecting it four times, the boar carcass turned into a messy pile of flesh and bones, showing a state of "impossible to collect".

This time, there were no collection failures. In addition to still collecting a pair of low-quality [Fanged Boar Fangs (Broken)], there are also some items that are not tight such as [Fanged Boar Skin] and [Wild Boar]. Regardless of three-seven-twenty-one, put them in the backpack in one go.

"It seems that letting a pig crash into a tree does affect the quality of the fangs."

The three wild boars are all without exception, and Xian Zimo can now make up his mind. But now if he wants to kill these wild boars, he can only use this method, and there is no other choice. If you want to fight head-on, you'll have to wait until you level up.

Running again to the muddy ground where the wild boar herd had just been, the sluggish wild boar did not seem to have noticed anything unusual. As before, once again a wild boar was drawn out, and it was killed unharmed by the old routine, which became more and more skillful.

'Kill the Fanged Boar and gain 5 experience. ’

'Skip a kill and gain an additional 1 experience. ’

β€˜Level Up! ’

'Health +3'

'Stamina +1'

'Strength +1'

'Speed +1'

'Skill +1'

'Gain 3 Free Attribute Points'

'Gain 1 Skill Point'

As a fourth wild boar contributed its experience points, Xian Zimo heard a crisp ding-dong sound in his ears. Then I saw the golden light flashing in front of me, and a little starlight fell on my body.

After the effect of the upgrade wore off, he clicked on the properties panel to take a closer look at the dizzying array of prompts he had just made. The upgrade of this upgrade really surprised him a little, and it was a bit of a dead luck.

According to his previous understanding, each upgrade before his inauguration only has 3 free attribute points, a minimum increase of 2-5 random attributes, and a chance to gain skill points. So, this time he got almost all the improvements.

However, he was not in a hurry to allocate free attribute points and skill points. It's not that he is reluctant to attribute points, but now that he has not taken office, he can't determine the best way to add points for the time being. As for the skill points, counting the racial talent given, he already has 4 points left in hand, but he is suffering from the fact that he doesn't have any skills to add points now.

"The highest upgrade has been promoted, and I'm starting to turn white? With this luck, do I still have to practice any skills early? ”

After packing up the loot, Xian Zi muttered to himself and walked on the muddy ground again.

In the mud, the only three male wild boars were still rubbing hard against the trees. However, it is worth noting that above their bodies, there are always eye-like marks floating in the air.

As a veteran player, Xian Zimo naturally recognized that mark, which was a mark of "vigilance". It seems that these wild boars have noticed the unexplained disappearance of their kind, which is a bit troublesome, and "vigilance" has always been a setting that lone travelers hate, and the appearance of this mark is probably not able to lead them out one by one.

'The group of yin outside the forest is not stupid, it is true that the level is not high, the equipment is not good, it is difficult to deal with them alone. Xian Zi behind the tree thought secretly.

The fangs in his backpack are actually enough to make a difference, but he has never been a person who knows how to retreat. The obsessive-compulsive disorder developed by years of gaming made him still worry about the "perfect" quality boar fangs.

'If you don't give it a go, what's the difference between that and salted fish?' ’

After observing the territory of the wild boars again, a bold idea struck him. Then, with a clenched fist, he stepped out of the shadows and stood within the sight of several wild boars.

The fanged boars saw the presence of the intruders and immediately turned red-eyed. However, due to the "vigilant" mark on their heads, they all echoed each other before attacking, and they rushed towards the enemy in unison.

Seeing that the three female wild boars in the middle of the mud did not mean to follow, Xian Zimo nodded secretly, and sure enough, he was not wrong. In the face of invaders, the female wild boar will not be the first to go into battle, that is the task of the male wild boar.

In this case, this time, he had no reason to turn around and run to another position, so he found a tree and stood in a position. Appearing in this way, he is ready to be tough head-on, either he shows off the boar, or the boar sends him back to the city quickly.

Three strong fanged wild boars staggered towards this direction, and in order not to injure their own people, they naturally collided in order. And the staggered time in it is Xian Zimo's only chance, although it is pitifully short.

I saw the rhythm of the three wild boars clearly, and I quickly pre-read their movements. In this position, there is no need to adjust.

"Torrential"

Powerful trotters tread into the wet mud, getting closer and closer. Get ready...... 1、2、3! Now is the time!

As the first male wild boar collided, Xian Zimo dodged between the lightning and flint. A second boar would follow, and by the time his first move was about to be completed, the second round of attacks had already begun.

The two attacks were tightly connected, and there was no time for him to see the movements of the second boar, so he could only make a second dodge based on his previous pre-reading of the boar's attack. Luckily, I escaped again!

Then came the third boar! This time, he was more confident in his pre-reading judgment, without any pause, and rolled sideways in embarrassment. As it turned out, his self-confidence was not blind.

Without any missteps, he dodged all the attacks.

Stamina: 5/11. Such a large tumbling dodge action would be extremely exhausting of stamina, and if he had enough stamina, he was even confident that he would be able to take on the entire herd of wild boars alone.

Raising his head to look at the three wild boars, Xian Zimo was pleasantly surprised to find that the actual situation was better than he expected. In the first round of dodges, he only had the confidence to make the first boar crash into the tree. However, what I didn't expect was that now two wild boars had their tusks inserted into the tree.

In this way, the difficulties and risks that he expected to be possible are gone. After the second round of attacks, the three male boars had already hit the tree and couldn't move.

At this time, he can draw the rusty sword in an orderly manner and greet these little pigs who send experience one by one. Until the three male boars are dead, the female boar on the side will not intervene.
