Chapter 73: Are You Still Human?

When Wu Shaochen was awakened by the alarm clock, he was in a terrible state. If I'm not mistaken, he had a nightmare...

Rubbing his forehead, he felt like something was missing. Then he chuckled self-deprecatingly, realizing that he was scared by that girl. He must have mixed up the game and reality. He should bring her the item to lift the curse. Even if she refuses, there should be other ways. If she's so formidable, she wouldn't need to hide in the water pool secretly.

Looking at the pitch-black sky, Wu Shaochen turned off the alarm clock and went back to sleep. He needed to rest well in order to have the energy to defeat monsters.

He was awakened again, this time by a phone call. Still half-asleep, Wu Shaochen answered.

"Hello, who is it?"

"Bro, it's me."

"Oh, Ziyin, what's up?"

"Bro, I reached level ten. Which main city are you in? I'll come find you."

"Oh, level ten already? That was fast." Wu Shaochen finally woke up.

"Bro, it's already 10 o'clock. Aren't you afraid of being overtaken by others?"

"Ah, it's already 10 o'clock?" Wu Shaochen quickly sat up. Today, he had to go and fight that tiger.

"I'm in Jinling City. Come over." Wu Shaochen told Ziyin and hung up the phone. Then he hurriedly washed up, grabbed some snacks he bought last time, and logged in.

His character appeared in Jinling City, and Wu Shaochen went straight to the City Lord's Mansion. He now had a way to deal with the tiger, so he naturally wanted to inform the City Lord. It was a super mission, and the rewards should be great.

Upon arriving at the City Lord's Mansion, the guards recognized him. He walked familiarly to the main hall and met the City Lord, who was still worried about the tiger.

Seeing Wu Shaochen approach, the City Lord quickly said, "Chen Feng, did you come up with a solution?"

"Yes, I already have a plan to deal with the tiger king in the enchanted jungle," Wu Shaochen said directly.

"That's great! Then please go to Liu Family Village and bring a Sealer to seal off the passage to the demon realm deep inside Tiger Roar Forest," the City Lord exclaimed excitedly.

"Ding! The City Lord of Jinling City has issued a mission to you. Mission details: Go to Liu Family Village with a Sealer and seal the passage to the demon realm deep inside Tiger Roar Forest. The Sealer needs 10 minutes to seal the passage. Please resist the enchanted jungle tiger king for as long as possible to buy time for the Sealer. Mission rewards are unknown."

"Oh, so the City Lord only wants me to hold off the tiger king for ten minutes, not kill it. I guess the City Lord doesn't think I can defeat that tiger," Wu Shaochen thought to himself. However, for him, killing the tiger was easier than stopping it for ten minutes.

After accepting the mission, Wu Shaochen received a private message from Wu Ziyin as soon as he stepped out of the city gate.

Feng Yinger: "Bro, I've changed my job. Where are you?"

"Then wait for me at the Job Change Hall. I'll be there soon," Wu Shaochen replied and headed towards the Job Change Hall.

Arriving at the Job Change Hall, he quickly spotted a girl wearing beginner village equipment, looking around. There weren't many people in the Job Change Hall, and most had already changed their jobs.

Wu Shaochen walked up to Wu Ziyin and said, "What are you looking at? Can't you recognize me standing in front of you?"

"Ah..." Wu Ziyin was startled, then said, "Bro, no one would recognize you with that mask on."

"You changed to a priest?" Wu Shaochen asked. One's profession couldn't be hidden, and it was easy to tell at a glance.

"Yeah, you said I could change to either a mage or a priest, right? Mage requires good skills, and I'm not good enough for that. Priest is much better. I just need to heal from the back. But bro, you have to take me with you, or else I won't level up," Wu Ziyin said pitifully.

"Alright." Wu Shaochen nodded. One good thing about Wu Ziyin was that she had a clear understanding of herself. If he were to take her along, a priest would definitely be more suitable than a mage. Moreover, a priest's automatic stat distribution was intelligence and spirit, which was indeed more suitable for Wu Ziyin.

Immediately, Wu Shaochen handed Wu Ziyin the two pieces of silver equipment he had left, a robe and a ring. He had sold the previous equipment, and these were the only ones left. But for Wu Shaochen, it wasn't difficult to help Wu Ziyin get a full set of silver equipment.

"Wow, silver equipment!" Wu Ziyin excitedly took them. Although she had only been playing the game for two days, she knew that silver equipment was currently the top-tier gear.

"Bro, how about we sell these two pieces of equipment? Weiwei said a piece of silver equipment can be sold for over two hundred thousand. If we sell them, we can buy a house in our hometown," Wu Ziyin said, her eyes shining.

"Just wear them. Do I look like someone who lacks money?" Wu Shaochen replied impatiently.

"That's true. You're the famous Dust Sealed, after all," Wu Ziyin said with admiration on her face.

Alright, let's hurry up and put on the equipment. I'll take you to do something big.

"Oh, okay..." Wu Ziyin's eyes lit up with excitement. Was she going to fight a boss with her brother? She wondered if it would be a bronze or silver one.

"By the way, hold on to this and keep it in your backpack. Don't lose it," Wu Shaochen handed Wu Ziyin the magic power bead from his backpack. It was the perfect match for her.

Wu Ziyin took the magic power bead and glanced at it before putting it into her backpack, unaware of its true power.

Upon seeing Wu Ziyin's performance, Wu Shaochen shook his head. As he had guessed, he said seriously, "Ziyin, you need to carry this bead with you and not show it to others, understand?"

"Oh, okay, brother. Is this bead better than silver equipment?" Wu Ziyin asked.

Wu Shaochen's mouth twitched, and he said seriously, "For you, this bead is like a divine artifact."

"Oh." Wu Ziyin seemed to understand but just followed her brother's words.

Wu Shaochen took Wu Ziyin to a clothing store and bought several sets of fashionable clothes for her. He also bought a veil for her to wear. Then, they headed towards Liu Family Village. Wearing equipment directly was really ugly, and even if silver equipment's special effects were hidden, observant people could still tell at a glance. It was better to wear fashionable clothes. As for the veil, she would eventually become famous, so she would definitely need to wear it. Wu Ziyin happily accepted this.

On the way, Wu Shaochen tried to slow down, but Wu Ziyin had no agility at all. Moreover, the shoes she was wearing now were probably Level 2 Goat Burst shoes. Her speed definitely wouldn't exceed two points. It was too slow. After walking for a while, Wu Shaochen couldn't stand it anymore. He looked around and summoned Silver Wolf.

"Wow, brother, is this your pet? The former number one on the leaderboard, Silver Wolf? So cute!" Wu Ziyin's heart was filled with love as she spoke, and she wanted to hug Silver Wolf. However, Xiaoyue Tianlang was a proud existence. How could he let someone other than his owner hug him? He dodged Wu Ziyin's embrace with a flash.

"Former?" Wu Shaochen was taken aback and opened the leaderboard. Indeed, he didn't see Silver Wolf there anymore.

"Could it be because its talent is awakening, so it doesn't show up?" Wu Shaochen thought to himself. Well, this was also good. Finally, there was a leaderboard that had nothing to do with him.

After clearing the instance yesterday, Silver Wolf had already reached Level 18, but its height only reached Wu Shaochen's knee. Wu Shaochen looked at Wu Ziyin, who was 1.68 meters tall, and then at Silver Wolf's height of a few dozen centimeters. Although he felt a bit guilty, he still squatted down and said, "Little wolf, can you let my sister ride on you?"

Upon hearing this, both Silver Wolf and Wu Ziyin looked at Wu Shaochen in shock.

"Brother, are you kidding? How can I ride on something so small? I can walk, and I'm not tired at all," Wu Ziyin said.

Silver Wolf also looked at Wu Shaochen with an incredulous expression, as if saying, "Are you still human?"

...

"Is tiredness the issue here?" Wu Shaochen thought to himself and directly insisted, "If I say you can ride, then you can ride."
