The attribute growth of the Swift Shadow Wolf is relatively balanced, unlike the Wishcaster and Chaotic Swordsman who have specialized traits, but it doesn’t mean this class is weak.
One should know that the highest star level that regular classes can achieve currently is only 2.5. Perhaps after reaching level 50, advanced class upgrades will be unlocked, but before that, the attributes of hidden classes are absolutely superior to regular classes.
In other words, in the Gray Wolf form, no, in the Swift Shadow Wolf form, the combat power is comparable to that of the Wishcaster.
Naturally, Nangong and the others noticed Zane’s transformation.
He casually shared his panel attributes in the team, startling them to the point they almost reported it on the spot. Hidden classes are this easy to obtain!?
…
“Boss, are you leaving?”
Zane nodded, “Yes, I can’t stay here forever. I must keep getting stronger to take control of my fate!”
He was serious, although fortunately, the others couldn’t understand the wolf language.
“Mo Se, you stay in the Crimson Plain for a while and protect them well.”
The giant beetle obediently lowered its head.
“Hero, what should we do with this guy?” Alu pointed at Pori, who was trying to sneak away.
This goblin… is a bit of a headache.
If left alone, it could cause major trouble, but the operation of the Battle Puppet has already been known by the Snow Feather Goblins. The best it can do is use a flashbang to chaos and take control of the puppet.
Should I kill it…?
A bit of a pity, as goblins are said to be experts in engineering. If it could help during the early stages, the construction progress would surely leap forward. With that many people and wolves, they might even build a village or town!
Swish!
An ice spear flew out, landing in front of Pori, scaring it to sweat coldly.
“What are you doing? I just wanted to look at the scenery over there.”
“Do you know how to perform a servant contract?” Starry asked.
“No… I’ve only heard of that rumored evil contract. They say once you sign it, you lose your rights and your life is decided by your master’s whim. It’s a very vicious contract,” Alu frowned.
Goblins are not good at magic, and the Snow Feather Goblin tribe, which can utilize frost spells, is considered an anomaly. Not to mention contracts.
“Are you… planning to use that on the goblin…!”
“Exactly, I once went to the first level of the Tower of Forgetting and obtained a long-lost scroll through a challenge,” Starry said solemnly, as if recalling something horrifying.
“!” Alu’s expression turned terrified.
Pori, who had been overhearing their conversation, was now trembling all over, unsure of what to do.
“Alu, I leave it to you.”
“No! No! I don’t know if I can learn it, but we, the Snow Feather Goblins, definitely would never use such a vicious spell! Besides, this is your spoils, I have no right to take it.”
“Well… come here a bit.”
Alu curiously came a little closer, and Starry whispered, “I won’t do it! Just scare it a little. If this guy can obediently help, it would definitely be beneficial to you!”
Two minutes later.
“I see! Then I agree.” Alu nodded, simultaneously taking out a blue skill book. “This book is the secret Ice Flow Shield of the Snow Feather Goblins, as an exchange for that contract.”
Upon seeing this skill book, Starry’s eyes almost sparkled.
“Hero, you’ve helped us so much, and I have nothing to repay you. Please accept this token of goodwill.”
This trip was well worth it!
Although the Snow Feather Rebellion mission failed, Zane’s rescue unexpectedly triggered follow-up events!
Just for this Ice Flow Shield skill alone was incredibly valuable; after all, an 80% damage reduction is capital for fighting bosses at a higher level!
…
The rewards for the Gray Wolf King had already been distributed to them, giving only a tiny bit of experience, not even 1% of the total value.
Nangong wanted to complain but thought of Zane’s absurd attributes and chose to remain silent; they had already gained enough benefit today.
By the way, although they could choose to take a few Gray Wolves as mounts, it was too dangerous. The attributes of the Gray Wolves couldn’t keep up with their pace. With the clan’s numbers already low, it was best not to be too reckless.
The Battle Puppet was also left in the camp of the Snow Feather Goblins. Just because they were in the Crimson Plain didn’t mean they were absolutely safe. They needed this kind of top-tier combat power to ensure their safety. Coupled with Mo Se, it was double insurance, and Zane was also assured about their character.
Speaking of which, this Battle Puppet was originally developed by a dozen goblins, and Pori was one of the participants.
Unfortunately, its age was relatively young compared to other goblins, and in this clearly defined hierarchy, it naturally became an oppressed subject. Although it had extraordinary intelligence, it could only barely qualify to participate in the development, so this Battle Puppet was tampered with by it.
The reason it remained in an uncontrollable state was also its doing.
Pori originally wanted to use these goblins to release the Battle Puppet, but unexpectedly, the situation changed, and Starry captured it first.
Now… it could only become a servant to the Snow Feather Goblins. Of course, it did not know that the ritual was fake; goblins’ desire for survival can surpass anything.
Lord Xisi also seemed to have a desire to stay. Youyoufen said that if he wanted to stay, he could immediately cancel the contract.
However, after a moment of silence, he still shook his head.
The Green Rock Goblin was already a thing of the past. He was all alone with no burdens; although most of his clan were killed by humans, after experiencing death himself, he understood that goblins were merely pawns. Only by following these people could he continue to improve himself.
…
Unknowingly, it was 8 p.m.
“Let’s disperse for now,” Zane said. Today’s events were too much, and after nearly a whole day of high-intensity focus, he felt especially tired now that he relaxed.
Thus, everyone logged off one after another.
On the Crimson Plain, only the busy goblins and gray wolves remained, while Mo Se was helping them clear some necessary tunnels.
Next to a giant tree, fallen leaves inexplicably straightened as if under immense pressure, and the leaves themselves splintered into several pieces.
Occasionally, shallow marks appeared on the ground.
“Interesting.”
…
After going out for a satisfying meal with Brother Shiu, Zane returned and flopped down onto his bed.
He didn’t want to log on tonight; he just wanted to sleep directly.
Buzz—buzz—buzz
The phone rang.
He picked it up to see it displayed “Dad.”
These two words had an unknown magic, instantly waking Zane.
“Hello?”
“Stupid kid, finally willing to answer the phone?”
“…” Zane was silent.
“I really don’t know who you learned that stubbornness from,” the voice on the other end complained.
“From you,” Zane replied decisively.
No wonder he was a man who could kill a conversation in three sentences; the other side was almost ready to hang up the phone.
“Okay, enough chatting. Seeing you like this, you should have calmed down, right? So I’ll get straight to the point, where did that money come from?”
“Of course I earned it.” Zane replied without guilt.
“Earned it!? You made 150,000 in just a few days? Who do you think you’re fooling!” It was clear that the tone had become heavier.
Then, it softened again. “Zane, honestly, what did you do? Our family is poor, but we can’t lose our moral bottom line! Some things should not be touched.”
Zane’s mouth twitched; this imagination was something he hadn’t expected. He hadn’t thought too much about it when he made the transfer. Now that he calmed down to think, indeed, 150,000 is not a small amount. If he didn’t come up with a convincing reason, his father wouldn’t believe him.
Should I tell the truth? Although making money from gaming is no longer surprising, often only a very few can do it.
Without anything to hide, “I made it by trading gold coins.”
“Gold coins?”
“Game currency. There’s a popular game recently called ‘Dream of the Mists,’ and I earned a lot of gold coins in it and sold them to people who needed them.”
“… Really? I’ve heard about this game too. Is it that profitable?”
“It’s true. I have no need to lie to you. Ziyu’s illness won’t get better overnight, and I don’t need to take risks.”
“Ha—”
The other side let out a sigh of relief, seemingly reassured.
“As long as it’s not something illegal. By the way, since this game is so profitable, I’ll buy one too!”
Zane felt a headache coming; “This game might not be as simple as you think.”
“Haha, you think I don’t understand these things, right? I used to play that Journey to the West game! It’s similar to your ‘Dream of the Mists,’ and you can earn money by trading goods!”
“No…” Zane covered his face and was speechless; the two games had nothing in common!
“Do you have anything else, Dad? If not, I’ll hang up.”
“Stupid kid, don’t hang up! There’s one more thing.”
“What?”
“Your sister is hospitalized again. You shouldn’t play that game anymore. Come and see her tomorrow. Your mom and I have been taking turns taking leave, and if we keep taking leave, we might lose our jobs.”
“When did this happen!? How come I didn’t know?” Zane panicked; she hadn’t been hospitalized since she became an adult!
“Didn’t she tell you?”
“No…”
“Anyway, just hurry over. I’ll send you the address. You come over tomorrow morning. We’re going back to work, and if we keep taking leave, we can’t keep our jobs.”
“… okay.”
…
“Brother Shiu!” Zane shouted outside.
“What’s the matter? Didn’t you say you were going to sleep?”
“I have to go home for a bit tomorrow.”
“Home? You’re actually going back?” Brother Shiu was surprised.
“… My sister is hospitalized, and I must go see her.”
“…” Brother Shiu didn’t know what to say. “How many days will you be gone?”
“I don’t know either…”
“Yeah, such things are unpredictable.” Brother Shiu sighed, “Take your gaming helmet with you; that’s the best way to help you too.”
“Yeah, of course.”
“What time will you leave? I’ll give you a ride.”
“Not decided yet; let’s talk about it tomorrow. I’ve checked, tickets are still abundant.”
(Today is also a single update. Due to time constraints, I can only write 3,000 words.)
