Ch 5 - Strength is Fundamental

In any hardship, there comes rewards after the bitter parts! Vacation after exams! Holidays after Workdays! Saturday after Friday!

(T/N : Face Hardship head on xDDD)

After returning from the patriarch's mansion, Chen Xing received four rewards. First was the room of his own. From now on, he has a place to stay in the game. Also don't underestimate this room. Only when one has a safe place like this room, the system can be used and he can continue to practice with Gu worms. The second was the signature Gu of the Gu Yue clan - Moonlight Gu, which is a gu worm that every student of Gu Yue Clan gets. Chen Xing saw that this moonlight gu was shaped like a small crescent moon, currently floating in his hands, and can be used for launching a moonblade to attack his enemies. The third reward was spiritual stones or primeval stones. Ordinary disciples can receive three spiritual stones per month, while as the patriarch's disciple, Chen Xing can receive ten. These stones are currency of the gu world and can also greatly speed up the rate of cultivation, hence it is indispensable to a Gu master. The fourth was a task. If he advances to the Rank 2 within three months, he will be rewarded by Patriarch with a rare Rank 2 White jade gu. This is also the test of the system.

Strength is fundamental in any world, and Chen Xing knows well that the treatment of being the patriarch's disciple is based on his 90% aptitude. If he cannot advance to the second rank within three months, these rewards will be taken back. The first task at hand presently is naturally advancing to next Rank.

Regarding advancement, Chen Xing had checked the strategy. The beasts around Gu yue Village were not simple, only wild boar was more suitable for novice players to rank up. Of course, wild boars were not easy, many newcomers had died at the feet of these wild boars. Generally novice players can hunt it only by teaming up, but teaming will slow down the ranking up speed, and it is difficult to unify the reward distribution for people who are not familiar with it.

After some consideration, Chen Xing came to the bazaar at the foot of the mountain. There were already many players forming teams in the bazaar. Many players invited him, but he refused one by one.

Reaching the blacksmith shop, Chen Xing shouted to the busy blacksmith inside, "Boss, do you have spear weapons?"

The owner of the smithy was just a mortal. Seeing Chen Xing, he greeted him with a smile on his face, "Yes, please come with me, Sir Gu master."

Chen Xing decided to purchase spear weapons after careful consideration. Currently his attack method was only Moonlight Gu. The wild Boar's skin is very thick. The ordinary Moon Blade can only damage it, and ordinary mortal weapons cannot be used to kill the boar. Chen Xing had used spears in other games before, and he is experienced enough to restrain wild Boars with spears.

After spending three spirit stones, Chen Xing bought a fine iron spear, and another round of fine iron ropes, and then went to the grocery store to buy some medicine and food. Chen Xing was feeling helpless to the fact that half the spirit stones he just received were already used up but the items he purchased were all essentials so he didn't regret it.

Humans are the spirit of all living beings and Gu are the essence of heaven and earth, the essence of the world itself. Human beings do not have sharp claws, and they do not have strong teeth but they can overcome everything with their wisdom. Humans have unlimited potential.

When Renzu, the first human ancestor was born, he was surrounded by wild beasts, and Renzu was very scared. These beasts were all fierce and sharp, and he couldn't beat them at all, and could only become the food for the beasts, so he was very depressed.

At this time, a Gu worm appeared in front of him, and asked him, "Human, why are you depressed?"

Ren Zu said, "Because I am going to be eaten, these beasts are too powerful, I can't beat them at all."

"Then why don't you think about it? Although you don't have fierce teeth and sharp teeth, you have me! I am your wisdom." This was wisdom Gu, through which human ancestor thought of various ways to finally take down those beasts. Finally using wisdom he was able to survive.

These were just some tidbits of the beginning from the system which Chen Xing had read about. He had been impressed by how realistic the story of Human ancestor was and the words of wisdom had enlightened him.

Bringing his weapons with him, Chen Xing went out of the cottage. To the south of the cottage was a large area in between mountains where wild boars were rampant. He saw that these wild boars were the size of a calf and were extremely fierce. Players would team up to fight with it, but they were all wounded.

'Fortunately, this is a game. As long as they are not dead, they can go to the cottage to heal the injury. Coupled with the help of Moonlight Gu, a few people are able to kill the wild boar.', Chen Xing sighed to himself as he prepared to kill a wild boar on his own.

In this regard, Chen Xing had long expected that playing this game would be a big deal. If even a little wild boar can't be killed by him, what there's to say about the future. However, some preparations were necessary. While walking on the uninhabited part of the mountain, a fat wild boar appeared in front of him, "I finally found you!"

This was his first battle in the game. Chen Xing tightened the spear in his hand and walked towards the wild boar step by step. The wild boar was eating and ignored him, an outsider who suddenly appeared, until Chen Xing was ten paces away, when the wild boar suddenly raised his head, staring fiercely at the intruder. The boar had a pair of long fangs which started Chen Xing.

At this time, boar waited and didn't do anything. Chen Xing shouted loudly, and instead of retreating, tried to pierce the wild boar's stomach with his spear. But hee was a beginner after all, and the missed the exact spot. As soon as spear was about to hit, the wild boar turned around and the spear pierced only its buttocks. Chen Xing only felt like a stab, and knew it would be difficult to kill the boar after this so he began to escape. But the wild boar was already angry due to the attack, and with a howl, started running towards Chen Xing.

"Fuck!" Chen Xing yelled, and ran even faster. But how can his speed compare to that of the wild boar? When Chen Xing was about to be hit, he started having profound thoughts. He had always been ruthless in playing games. There was no way to display it in reality, but the moment of life and death can often provide stimulation.

At the moment of his death, Chen Xing waved his right hand, and a silver-white moonblade was immediately shot behind him. The wild boar was unable to dodge, his face being slashed straight, and his momentum getting slowed down due to immense pain. Taking this opportunity, Chen Xing hurriedly jumped aside, avoiding danger of being hit blindly by the boar.

The wild boar dashed for a certain distance before stopping. His one eye was looking fiercely at Chen Xing, but his other eye was bloody due to earlier slash. At this time, Chen Xing had taken the opportunity to retrieve the spear and started running towards the boar with the shot in his hand, and although his heartbeat was beating fast like a drum, he was not afraid.

Once a wild boar is injured, it will be more fierce and abnormal than before, but it will also lose its sanity. This was the strategy he had read online before from other players.

Chen Xing took the initiative to shoot at the wild boar with a moonblade again, and the wild boar tried to defend it. Taking this opportunity, Chen Xing removed the gun he bought earlier and ran to the side of a big tree. How could the wild boar let him go! After defending against the moonblade, it ran behind Chen Xing.

"Here it is." a rope between the two big trees appeared in front of him, which was what he had prepared before as a trap. Chen Xing jumped over the rope, but the wild boar who was chasing after him suffered and tripped over. After hearing a howl, Chen Xing saw a wild boar with the size of a calf tripping upside down by a rope. The wild boar's skin was thick and thick, but because it was heavy, he couldn't get up for a while when he fell.

While the boar was tired and injured, Chen Xing didn't feel tired at all, so he pierced the wild boar with a long spear like a dragon. This time he didn't miss it. The spear hit the wild boar's belly but almost didn't pierce it. Chen Xing was still worried, and greeted the wild boar with a moon blade. After launching seven more moon blades, Chen Xing was exhausted of primeval essense in his aperture. Each launch of a moon blade consumed 10% of his primeval essense. He can only launch 9 moon blades in a short time, and then he would need time to restore his primeval essense before launching another moonblade, but fortunately, the wild boar was already dead!

Chen Xing sat down on the ground. The battle lasted shortly, but it was extremely dangerous. If he showed even a little hesitation, he would be the one who was pierced by wild boar fangs and be lying lying on the ground dead. He was still too weak, but this is only a temporary phase, he will never stop becoming stronger and eventually be strong enough to do anything he pleases!
