Chapter 28 – Wolf vs Pirate

Bullcrap!

Pirate King Frances was a powerful being on the same level as Dryad King Alfred. According to the information from the official website, they were existences who could change the landscape of the continent.

The Pirate King had once been attacked by an alliance of the Papacy and Magic Assembly, but he had escaped and countless experts had died at his hands.

Su Mo immediately felt that the Exquisite Condor Feather Arrow, which could add 4 extra Damage, in his hand was somewhat hot.

The Wolf Tooth Arrows that he had felt great pain when buying for five silver coins per bundle could only increase Damage by 0.3; there was a great difference between those and the Exquisite Condor Feather Arrows.

This little blacksmith really was a conniving and stingy fellow!

Su Mo felt great internal conflict, and he felt as if everything was slipping away from his control. It seemed that this young-looking blacksmith was actually a manipulative old fox.

Without this Gold grade bow and these Exquisite Condor Feather Arrows, he definitely would not be willing to continue to remain in contact with Soni Junior; he would immediately leave after getting his metal claws.

"Of course, the Pirate King won't easily discover your existence, unless you kill one-third of the pirates he commands. However, Pirate Jack might come to find you in a short period of time."

"How long is that?"

"Maybe half a year."

"If you didn't tell me these things, I might not have hesitated so much."

"Because I don't want you to die at his hands. So, what's your answer friend?"

"I'll come for a bundle of Exquisite Condor Feather Arrows tomorrow. Also, I can provide some blueprints and materials, so can you help me make some arrows or a crossbow?" Su Mo bought some materials from the market and asked Soni Junior to make some arrows; this would be much cheaper than directly buying arrows. Moreover, the best arrows in the shop were the Wolf Tooth Arrows.

As for the crossbow, Su Mo still lacked a mid-distance weapon.

"I don't have much business anyways, but I won't show you too much mercy when it comes to payment."

"Let's be friends!"

After saying goodbye to Soni Junior, Su Mo had obtained many good things: Lafu's metal claws, a Gold grade bow, and the potential of a bundle of Condor Feather Arrows every day. He was also now fated to fight the pirates to the death.

Ai, he had once wanted to be the pirate king, but now he could only be the enemy of the Pirate King. This made Su Mo feel quite dispirited.

Su Mo once again went to kill some pirates. After landing on a small island, he first found a safe place to leave his character's body before switching to Lafu's account.

He equipped the metal claws and tested them out, and he felt that they felt quite decent.

Following this, Su Mo—or rather, Lafu—tried out the small bag hanging around his neck. This bag with eight slots was quite small, and it looked like a dog bell.

Despite this, it was completely usable, and in the future he would put his consumables and spoils in here.

Su Mo controlled Lafu to come close to a pirate. He was very careful, because using the Level 25 Lafu to kill Level 20 Crab Generals was not too big of a problem due to his level advantage, but the Level 30 pirates were ten levels higher than the Crab Generals.

This pirate had a full beard and was bare chested, only wearing tight, fish skin pants.

With how tight his pants were, it was unlikely even a fart could get out; after getting home, his pants would definitely be quite smelly after he took them off.

The pirate noticed Lafu and charged at it, waving a large saber as he roared.

He looked super savage!

Meeting on the narrow road, only the brave would survive. Su Mo controlled Lafu and did not hold back at all as he rushed over too.

The reason why he chose to fight pirates as Lafu wasn't because Su Mo was arrogant—alright, these past few days, he had been quite confident—but rather because he had discovered some secrets.

When players fought with monsters, or when players fought with players, dodging was a very luck-based element due to the [Evasion] attribute.

However, when controlling Lafu to fight Crab Generals many times, Su Mo discovered something.

When monsters fought each other, it seemed as if they really could dodge, and Su Mo was able to do so more and more as he became more proficient at controlling Lafu. As such, he decided to test this with a humanoid monster that he was used to.

After many years of training, Su Mo was very familiar with killing humanoid creatures.

One human and one wolf battled it out.

A surprising scene resulted, which was that Su Mo had an easy victory. It was much simpler to kill a Level 30 pirate than a Level 20 Crab General.

Of course, simpler did not mean that it was faster.

In actuality, despite having the metal claws, which increased Lafu's damage, it took much longer to kill a Level 30 pirate than a Level 20 Crab General.

In the time that he could kill one pirate, he would be able to kill five Crab Generals.

It was simpler in the sense that the battle was much simpler and less dangerous. He could also use all kinds of battle skills freely.

In the future, it was very likely that Su Mo's control of Lafu's body would surpass his control of his own body.

The prerequisite was that he had to get used to get used to fighting on all fours.

His back hurt!

The day passed just like that. After yesterday, his Level 25 EXP bar was 60% full. Today, he had gained 13% from the hidden quest, his encounters with Soni Junior had given some EXP as well, and then there was the EXP from the pirates.

By nighttime, Su Mo had finally risen to Level 26.

Lafu was the same; it was easier for him to level up, but his level could not surpass his owner's level.

Su Mo exited the game, and because it was around 8pm, he went to check his little sister's stream.

Yesterday, he had secretly memorized her stream code; to someone who was skilled at observing small details, this was not difficult at all.

Su Mo never watched streams, even though his ex-girlfriend was a streamer.

He made an exception this time. It was a pity that the management of streaming platforms was quite strict, and in order to see anything, one had to register with one's real name and provide verification.

Those who were younger than 16 could only dream about watching lewd dances.

They would only be able to watch teachers on the platform—real teachers, who would give lessons and homework. That way, they did not have the time or opportunity to steal their parents' hard-earned money to spend on lewd streamers.

As such, it was quite surprising that Su Xiaojiu had been able to register.

Currently, Su Xiaojiu's stream was much livelier than it had been last time—her viewers had gone from 2,000 or 3,000 to over 10,000.

But what was Su Xiaojiu doing right now?

Sleeping!

She was streaming while sleeping.

The description of the stream answered Su Mo's questions: "My big brother is an evil baddy. Life is bleak. I just want to sleep."

She was beautiful like a doll and wore cartoon pyjamas. She had a cartoon blanket and looked incredibly sweet as she slept. Her long eyelashes fluttered, and the chatroom was spamming how cute she was and how beautiful her eyelashes were.

However, there were also some voices sowing discord.
