Chapter 39: Pride of the Wolf Clan
Yunyou Valley? It should be the newly opened map today.
Yuhua must be suppressed; otherwise, in Yunshui City, wherever you look, you’ll definitely be bullied.
But before that, there are more important things.
I need to find the Wolf King first.
After activating the mechanism that Alna mentioned, I discovered a hidden cave and followed it back to Grey Ridge Plain!
“Alna, we’re going to find the Wolf King now, you can just head back to the city. Your current identity has nothing to hide anymore; go meet your real brother!” Zane smiled.
“I want to go with you; I’m afraid if I go back, I won’t find you again.” Alna said anxiously.
“How could that be? We will likely stay in Yunshui City for a long time; if you want to find us, you definitely can!”
“…Okay, then I’ll go back first…” She nodded.
“Goodbye.” Zane waved.
…
解除！
变幻！
Transformed back into the Gray Wolf form, Zane swaggered over to the wolf pack with Starry.
“Leader, I’ve eliminated that damn undead group! But the mysterious person got away; I couldn’t stop him.” Zane made an earth-shattering announcement as soon as he arrived.
The Gray Wolf King’s mouth twitched. “Child… do you know what you’re saying?”
“Of course, you can sense the magical fluctuations near the graveyard now; I just came out of there.”
The Gray Wolf King closed his eyes, calm in expression, already entering a state of focus.
After a moment, he opened his blood-red eyes, shock evident on his face. “It’s actually… true!”
“Child, did you really do this?” the Gray Wolf King said seriously. He knew the mysterious person’s strength all too well; he couldn’t believe a little wolf could defeat him so effortlessly.
“Not entirely. There’s also my pet and the Wishcaster.”
“Wishcaster!? She’s still alive?”
“Well, sort of alive, in the form of the undead.” Zane replied casually.
“No wonder you could do it… so it was with her help.”
Hey, who are you looking down on? I am… what was it, a mount?
Alright, just a mount.
“Regardless, you have made a significant contribution to the Gray Wolf Clan. This is your honor.”
Ding!
System Notification: You have obtained the title “Pride of the Wolf Clan” and gained +3 Luck.
Pride of the Wolf Clan:
Trait: All attacks +10%
Trait: Movement speed +30% (in Gray Wolf form)
Trait: ‘Sprint’ evolves into ‘Fast Run’.
Description: The one recognized by the Gray Wolf King.
The attributes and description may be only three short lines, but this bonus is enough to last well into the late game with god-tier effects!
All attack power +10%—what does that mean? It’s equivalent to your attack power growth being 1.1 times that of others! The later the game goes, the more pronounced this effect becomes, and the increase in movement speed of 30% in Gray Wolf form! It can perfectly serve as a mount…
No, you old guy, trying to trick me into being a mount!
…
By the way, it also added 3 points of luck; this attribute seems relatively rare, I wonder how it manifests luck.
After bidding farewell to the Gray Wolf King, Zane transformed back to his original form.
I should head back to the city to buy some potions; I might need them later. I also need to pick up the quest from Yunyou Valley; I can’t just go for PK, right?
There was some commotion at the West Gate, likely caused by Alna.
As expected, I could hear a jumble of discussions, all about the Wishcaster.
It appears that everyone in Yunshui City is just keeping quiet about her but hasn’t truly forgotten this once-genius girl.
…
“Yunyou Valley? That place is now occupied by a rude and unreasonable group of goblins. I don’t know where they came from, but suddenly, thousands have appeared! I saw it when I went out, and it scared me to death!”
“…” This shopkeeper really can talk.
“Are you guys going to Yunyou Valley? Just right, I want to get a batch of goblin pelts; if you can bring some back, I’ll buy them off you at a fair price.”
Ding!
System Notification: Jenoko has issued you a B-rank quest “Collect Goblin Pelts (0/100).” Do you accept?
Accept!
“I don’t mind if you get more! You can collect as many as you can.”
I then went to the apothecary and bought 30 high-grade HP potions; there aren’t any higher-level potions on sale yet.
This is too much; Zane in Wishcaster form is already close to 6000 health, and 400 at a time is just ridiculous?
Is the Wishcaster too OP? No, it should be the official hinting for players to level up their alchemy profession. Or to cultivate a small team of alchemists.
Oh, right! I haven’t switched my secondary profession yet. Forget it, I’ll go to Yunyou Valley first, and I can switch later on.
The Wishcaster has quite a few skills, so Zane also bought 30 MP potions; that should be enough, probably.
…
Yunyou Valley.
After walking straight from the North Gate for about 10 minutes, the system prompted that I had entered a new map.
“Two friends, please stop. This is the leveling area of the Rain Flower Guild ahead.”
Zane looked up and saw two knights, one with the ID “Yuhua Nianhua” and the other “Yuhua Jingfeng,” one on the left and the other on the right blocking the way. Not only this spot, there were over a dozen people guarding it.
“Rain Flower Guild’s leveling area? How come I didn’t know about that?” Zane pretended to be confused.
“Brother, look at how many people we have in our guild; isn’t it reasonable to reserve a place?” Yuhua Jingfeng said. “If you’re smart, you’ll leave quickly; we won’t make it difficult for you. If you get killed in front of your girlfriend, that would be embarrassing~”
“Yeah, brother, your girlfriend is watching.” Yuhua Nianhua said.
“Oh, is that so… then I’ll just find another place.” Zane said.
Then he turned to walk back.
After a while, Yuhua Nianhua said, “That Fengchen Yanhua… I feel like I’ve seen that name before.”
Yuhua Jingfeng casually replied, “With so many players, it’s normal for names to be similar; there’s nothing to be concerned about.”
“No, I really feel like I’ve seen it somewhere. Zane… Fengchen Yanhua… those two names… Wait!! Aren’t those the top two gods on Yunshui City’s level ranking?!”
“What!?” Yuhua Jingfeng quickly opened the level ranking “It really is!”
…
Did Zane really go back?
Of course not, worried that it wouldn’t be convenient to transform during combat, he found a secluded spot to change back into Gray Wolf.
As for why he didn’t use Alna… this kind of battle is better suited for a Gray Wolf; with the Pride of the Wolf Clan and the evolution of Fast Run, he could probably tie in a race against the Wolf King. With this speed difference, taking down a behemoth like Rain Flower would have a much higher success rate.
Just now, Zane checked their levels; both of them were level 11, and aside from their starting equipment, they had barely any other gear. It’s not surprising; it’s only the second day since the game launched, and equipment in the guild is generally distributed based on demand and contribution. Of course, how this is actually operated depends on the management’s awareness.
By the way, I also checked the growth star rating of the knight.
Knight: Guardian of Loved Ones
Strength: ★★
Agility: ★☆
Intelligence: ★
Spirit: ★☆
Stamina: ★★★☆
