Bring back to reality

[Killed a wild wolf. You gained 10 experience points!]

[Congratulations on leveling up. You gained 10 attribute points and 5 skill points!]

After eliminating the last Level 5 wild wolf within sight, Su Mu reached Level 5. He obtained 40 wolf pelts and several white-grade weapons. Underestimating the wealthy tycoons in China, he directly listed these items for sale in the auction house at exorbitant prices.

However, Su Mu's items were quickly snatched up by those wealthy players. The white-grade equipment dropped by Level 5 monsters was in high demand, while the wolf pelts used for exchanging wolf leather armor attracted no attention.

"How should I distribute my attribute points? Should I continue to invest all in Intelligence?"

With 10 available attribute points in front of him, Su Mu narrowed his eyes in contemplation. After obtaining the elite staff, his Intelligence had already reached a high level. In comparison, his Spirit attribute seemed somewhat low.

Considering the benefits brought by Mental Power in conjunction with Spell Will, every point in Spirit was equivalent to 40 points of mana, which was a significant gain.

"Never mind, let's continue pursuing maximum output!"

However, upon further reflection, Su Mu realized that he had no mana shortage at the moment. Magical attack was the decisive factor!

Su Mu allocated all ten attribute points to Intelligence.

"With 150 magic attack, I can go kill Level 6 monsters!"

Su Mu smiled and headed deeper into the forest.

"What's this?"

Soon, a camp of boarmen appeared within his sight. Some of them carried longswords, while others wielded longbows.

"Ranged monsters?"

Su Mu wasn't concerned about the boarmen with swords, but he paid attention to the ones with bows. They were the ranged enemies.

Su Mu slowly approached, stopping within a range of twenty meters, where he could also see the information of the boarmen.

[Wild Boar Hunter]

Level: 6

Health: 550/550

Attack: 150

Defense: 20

[Wild Boar Warrior]

Level: 6

Health: 650/650

Attack: 100

Defense: 30

"I can instantly kill the Wild Boar Hunter with a single fireball, but it won't work for the Wild Boar Warrior. Also, based on their positioning, it seems that the aggro of these two types of monsters is linked!"

Inside the boarmen camp, the monsters stood together in pairs.

"I can't let the ranged monsters attack me. Even a regular attack from them is something I can't withstand!"

Su Mu looked at the two boarmen and cast a fireball at the boarman hunter wielding a bow.

-600!

A massive damage number appeared above the head of the Wild Boar Hunter, ending its life instantly.

"Hmph!"

The adjacent Wild Boar Warrior was also alerted at the same time, shouting and swinging its large sword towards Su Mu.

"Ice Arrow!"

Without hesitation, Su Mu released an ice arrow towards the Wild Boar Warrior.

-450!

The damage emerged, and a layer of frost appeared on the Wild Boar Warrior's body, instantly slowing it down.

"Holy Light Spell!"

-300!

Su Mu raised his hand and released another holy light, taking away the remaining health of the Wild Boar Warrior.

The entire battle lasted only a few seconds, and Su Mu easily dealt with the two boarmen.

"Leveling up is so slow!"

After killing two Level 6 monsters, his experience bar only increased a tiny bit, and Su Mu couldn't help but complain.

If others heard his words, they would probably grab him by the neck and angrily ask, "You call this slow leveling? Is there any justice in the world?"

But those people couldn't even enter a Level 4 monster area, let alone Level 6!

"Is that a boss?"

Su Mu continued to observe the boarmen camp while circling around it.

In addition to the boarmen patrolling the outskirts of the camp, there was a tall boarman wielding a sharp axe within the camp.

"And there's a treasure chest?"

Behind that boarman, there was a silver-quality treasure chest.

"I don't know the attributes of this boss, but it seems to be a melee monster!"

The distance was too far, and there were other boarmen around the camp, so Su Mu didn't dare to get too close.

"Let's continue clearing the monsters!"

He looked at another group of boarmen, and the fireball began to manifest.

Using the same combo sequence, the two boarmen died within seconds of each other.

Su Mu began clearing the outskirts of the boarmen camp, little by little.

[You killed a Wild Boar and gained 10 experience points]

[You obtained a Wild Boar's Fang and 10 silver coins]

[You obtained a durable longbow]

[You obtained a durable chainmail armor]

He kept killing monsters non-stop and would sit down to recover when he ran out of mana.

[You have been playing for an extended period in Shentu. Please take a break!]

After killing over a hundred boarmen, he received a notification.

"Oops!"

Su Mu checked the time and realized that more than five hours had passed since he entered the game. This game was truly addictive!

"Let's take a break for now."

There were only a few boarmen left in the camp, and Su Mu hadn't reached level 6 yet. He temporarily put aside the idea of dealing with the Wild Boar Boss.

He found a safe spot and listed all the miscellaneous white equipment, apart from the boarmen's fangs, in the auction house. Then, he opened the game panel and selected the option to log out.

The surroundings changed, and Su Mu returned to the virtual space he entered initially.

Here, his appearance returned to its original state.

"I want to return to reality!"

As he spoke, a white light flickered, and he found himself back in his own room.

"Phew, I'm indeed a bit tired!"

Su Mu sat on the sofa and felt a wave of fatigue washing over him.

Shentu wasn't just a virtual online game; there was no game pod or anything like that. It was a genuine soul-traveling experience.

For most people worldwide, having the physical stamina to play continuously for several hours was considered quite impressive.

However, as players progressed in Shentu, the game time would become longer, and some could even stay in the game forever!

"They say everything in the game can be brought back to reality. Can I bring back my skills?"

He grabbed a bottle of soda from the refrigerator and took a gulp, pondering the question.

He began attempting to summon a fireball spell.

No response whatsoever!

Su Mu didn't get discouraged and concentrated harder, continuing his attempts.

Once, twice, dozens of times, but all ended in failure.

"One last try!"

Su Mu's head was starting to feel heavy, but he decided to give it one final attempt.

But in that last try, he suddenly felt his palms growing hotter, as if something was about to burst forth.

Su Mu hurriedly moved to the balcony.

If he were to release a fireball, he might end up burning down his own home.

"It's coming out!"

The scorching temperature reached its peak, and the next second, a fireball the size of a ping pong ball shot out from Su Mu's palm.

The fireball traveled less than half a meter in the air before the flames abruptly dissipated.

"It actually worked!"

Even with such a small fireball, Su Mu felt his fatigue vanish, and his spirit soared!
