Chapter 005: Insights on Equipment Crafting by Vilen

In the wilderness, packs of wolves roam about, occasionally howling at the sky, their fierce eyes glinting with a bloodthirsty gleam

Physical Defense: 10

Once again, it was a monster-slaying quest. Without a word, Li Feng immediately charged towards the Wolf Forest to the west of the village, wielding his novice wooden sword.

Wild Wolf (Common Monster)

Task content: To the west of the village, there is a large pack of wild wolves that frequently attack villagers and livestock. Please go and eliminate them, and bring back 20 wolf claws

Ding!

The sun shines brightly over the land, a gentle mountain breeze blows, and the branches sway unpredictably, producing a rustling sound. If it were not for the disruptive noise of the players, Hongyun Village would be an excellent destination for tourism.

Under the large tree at the village entrance, the old man still sat there motionless, his position and posture unchanged. For some reason, when Li Feng saw the old man again, a sense of desolation suddenly arose in his heart. He did not understand why he felt this way; perhaps it was due to a vague sense that this matter was somewhat tragic.

Health value: 300

Li Feng stared blankly at the old man who quickly disappeared before his eyes. After a long while, he finally came to his senses, "Damn, such a powerful light escape technique. If I could learn it, who could possibly kill me in the future? Speaking of which, this old man's strength is truly formidable; he can even use such legendary spells. He is simply a god-like existence!"

Li Feng quickly approached a wild wolf and cast a detection spell at it

After circling around Hongyun Village, Li Feng successfully received a task titled "The Disaster of the Wild Wolves"

The old man gently caressed the diary in his hands, as if he were stroking a beloved lover. At that moment, tears streamed down his face, and his emotions were exceptionally stirred. After a considerable time, he finally opened the diary and began to read its contents

[Velen's Equipment Crafting Insights] Mysterious Item, which contains Velen's years of experience in forging. Can be learned after reaching level 10

Level: 3

Moreover, his primary task is to become a lifestyle player, and rankings and levels can be completely disregarded

The task has been completed, and the reward has been received. With a sense of anticipation and excitement, Li Feng examined the information in the book he held in his hands.

Awoo ... ... Awoo ... ...

The physical attack of the wild wolf is quite high, but its defense is average. As long as one pays attention to dodging, it should not be difficult to defeat.

"Old man, this is merely a small effort, no need to thank me," Li Feng said, waving his hand. He had now confirmed that this elder was Vilen. Based on the timeline, this elder was over one hundred years old, truly a centenarian.

Li Feng did not understand why the old man never entered the village, but his intuition told him that this situation should be related to the house's mistress, Jenny

About ten minutes later, the old man closed the diary, his mood improved significantly, and his spirit seemed to return to normal. He glanced at Li Feng and said, "Young man, thank you for helping me find this diary; it is very important to me"

Based on past experience, if he did not present something provocative, the old man would likely not pay him any attention. Li Feng's gaze shifted as he entered the small wooden house, which had already collapsed significantly. After a thorough search, he found a yellowed diary in one corner of the room

Out of politeness, Li Feng did not flip through this illustrated diary, and since it is a special item, even if he wanted to look, he could not.

Ding!

Hehe, this should be a life skill, perfectly suited for someone like me who enjoys life. It seems my luck is quite good!" Li Feng chuckled, put the book away, and continued with his tasks.

Haha, I was right; the key to the task lies with the mistress, Jenny! Li Feng's expression brightened, and he placed the diary into his backpack. Next, he should go find that old man!

Finally, when the old man saw the diary in Li Feng's hand, his entire body trembled violently, and a strange light shone in his murky eyes. He trembled as he extended his withered old hand, grasping the diary tightly, and said in an extremely low voice: "This is truly Jenny's diary..."

"You are able to find Jenny's diary, which indicates that you and I are destined to meet. I have here a book that contains some insights on equipment crafting that I have gathered over the years. Now, I hand it over to you, hoping that you can promote the art of refining weapons widely," the old man said in a deep voice as he handed a book with a blue cover to Li Feng.

It would be best to obtain a super artifact; that way, I could live freely and comfortably in the future, without worrying about food or clothing! Li Feng began to fantasize in his heart.

Treated in such a manner, the wild wolf was thoroughly enraged. It raised its sharp claws and lunged at Li Feng, with a faint red light flickering upon them. This was its signature skill—Bloodthirsty Claw

Now that my wish has been fulfilled, it is time to leave this place... The old man sighed softly, taking one last look at the dilapidated wooden cabin. His body transformed into a beam of golden light and vanished before Li Feng.

Skill: Bloodthirsty Claw

Physical Attack: 12 - 20

The wild wolf is a level 3 monster, possessing sharp teeth and claws, and exhibiting high aggression, requiring serious attention

He does not know what exactly is written in "Jenny's Diary"; however, it is certain that this diary holds extraordinary significance for the old man

Li Feng quietly waited nearby; special missions are rare. If he could obtain a valuable item, it would be a tremendous gain

Currently, many players have reached level 4 or above. The recent task took him quite a bit of time, which caused his level to quickly fall behind other players. However, this did not make him feel frustrated, because he firmly believed that the "Insights on Equipment Crafting from Velen" would not be an ordinary life skill book. How could a mysterious skill obtained through a special task be of poor quality?

Warning: Hunger! They are extremely hungry! If you are within their food range, please escape quickly

Kill! A cold light flashed in Li Feng's eyes as he suddenly thrust the novice wooden sword in his hand, striking the wild wolf's rear, nearly causing this monster's rear end to explode

System Notification: Congratulations on completing the special task "The Secret of the Monster." You have received "Viren's Equipment Crafting Insights," Reputation + 50, Experience + 2000

He walked over and handed the yellowed "Jenny's Diary" to the old man, saying, "Old sir, I found this in the old house in the village. It is the diary of the lady, Jenny. Perhaps you will find it useful..."

If you keep howling, I will take you down

A flash of golden light passed by, and Li Feng's level increased to level 3

Li Feng swiftly retreated, evading the deadly strike of the wild wolf, and then he delivered a sword thrust to the wild wolf.

System prompt: Congratulations, you have found the key task item "Jenny's Diary". Please deliver this diary to the strange person at the village entrance

Awoo
