The buff is permanent, and you start the game with a fountain of water.

A few minutes later, the battle came to an end with a wolf howl.

"Ding! You have killed 7 Rotten Skin Gray Wolves, a level 5 higher than yourself, and gained 5026 experience points."

Hearing the system notification, Huan Cheng slowly exhaled a breath of stale air, and the intense pain in his body gradually dissipated.

The rotten-skinned gray wolf posed no threat to Huan Cheng, but when he was in 100% pain state, it took him much longer to kill it.

Several times during this period, I was forced to panic and use the Wind Slash to escape and recover my condition.

"I still have to get used to it!" Huan Cheng muttered to himself, touching his left arm.

The area was just torn apart by the gray wolves, and the pain was excruciating. The battle is over, but the phantom pain still lingers from time to time.

After resting for a while, Huan Cheng continued his search for new targets.

The seven gray wolves contributed 5,000 experience points; he needs to kill 40 more waves to reach level 11.

With a heavy heart, Huan Cheng began his hunting expedition in the dark forest.

The Dark Forest is not only home to the Rotten Grey Wolf, but also to monsters such as the Jungle Leopard, the Venomous Spider, and the Flower Fairy.

Huan Cheng didn't discriminate; he killed whatever he encountered, rampaging through the land without hindrance.

According to information on the forum, the current top players are around level 12.

Deep in the dark forest, the monsters are generally level 15 or higher. Ordinary players usually grind monsters on the outskirts of the forest, so no one bothers him.

After a full six hours, Huan Cheng had killed two to three hundred various demons and finally received the long-awaited news:

"Ding! Your level has increased to 11. All attributes +2, free attributes +10, health +200, mana +20."

"happy!"

Wiping the sweat from his forehead, Huan Cheng grinned.

After the intense, 100% painful battle ended, a strange sense of excitement and pleasure welled up inside him.

"Do I have masochistic tendencies?"

Sensing this unusual emotion, an absurd thought popped into Huan Cheng's mind.

Shaking his head, he dismissed the strange thought and scanned the forest, intending to find his next target.

"Ding, you have a friend message."

The sudden system notification made Huan Cheng stop in his tracks.

I opened my contacts and found a message from Yunxi.

Yunxi: I did it! {fist swing} {fist swing} {fist swing}

【screenshot】

Three emojis in a row, along with a screenshot of a successful job change notification, indicate that Yunxi has successfully obtained the four-star job Sword Dancer!

Chengfeng: Congratulations!

Huan Cheng smiled and offered his heartfelt congratulations.

Yunxi: Huh? You've been a job changer for seven days, how come you're only level 11? What have you been doing?!

Upon receiving the message, Huan Cheng smiled bitterly to himself.

Chengfeng: It's hard to explain in a short time. Where are you right now? I need to talk to you about something.

Yunxi: Warrior, switch to Temple, where will I be waiting for you?

Chengfeng: Don't move, I'll be there soon.

Huan Chengyan closed the chat interface, used the Dimensional Stone to throw a coordinate on the spot, and then activated the teleportation function to return to the City Lord's Mansion mission hall.

The City Lord's Mansion is right next to the Temple of Professions, only a few minutes' walk away.

Huan Cheng found Yun Xi very easily.

At the entrance of the Temple of Warriors, there was not a single person within a five-meter radius of Yunxi, making it hard for Huan Cheng not to notice her.

"You..."

Looking Yunxi up and down, Huan Cheng was momentarily speechless.

Huan Cheng had known for a long time that Yun Xi was beautiful and charming.

After switching to the Sword Dancer class, her charm seemed to reach a new level. Her eyebrows were like distant mountains, with sharp yet graceful lines, and her eyes became brighter, adding a touch of heroism without losing any of her gentleness.

The magnificent elven sword at her waist was like the perfect accessory, making her shine.

Her unique aura made the surrounding players feel inferior and subconsciously keep their distance from Yunxi.

"What? Don't you recognize me?" Upon seeing Huan Cheng, Yun Xi's eyes lit up, and she smiled sweetly.

"Of course I know her! How could I not know the beautiful Yun?!" Huan Cheng composed himself and said casually.

"Come on, I'm in a good mood today, I'll treat you to a big meal as a thank you for your previous reminder." Yunxi took Huancheng's hand and headed straight for a nearby restaurant.

Players who were peeking in this direction saw this scene and immediately groaned in despair.

Somewhat blankly, he followed Yunxi into the restaurant, only to hear Yunxi say, "The food in the Divine Realm is incomparably delicious; even three-Michelin-starred restaurants can't compare!"

Withdrawing his hand subtly, Huan Cheng smiled and said, "Then I'll have to savor it properly."

Huan Cheng glanced at the lavishly decorated restaurant, raised an eyebrow, and hesitated, "This place must be expensive, right?"

In the real world, he definitely wouldn't ask that question.

Given Yunxi's demonstrated wealth, there's probably no hotel in the world she can't afford.

But this is the world of gods, and restaurants only accept gold coins. It would be ridiculous if you couldn't pay your bill after eating.

"Don't worry, I've been here before. We won't order the signature dishes. Ten gold coins per person will be enough!" Yunxi started ordering with ease and answered Huan Cheng's question casually.

Huan Cheng remained silent, then gave Yun Xi a thumbs-up: "You're a rich woman, you call the shots!"

Anyway, he couldn't bear to eat a meal that cost 10 gold coins.

"Take a look at these items, name your price!"

After they were seated, Huan Cheng got straight to the point and traded all the equipment that the Fierce Tiger Guild had dropped to Yun Xi.

"Wait, wait, I can't accept this anymore!"

A normal player's backpack only has 30 slots, but Huan Cheng traded over a hundred pieces of equipment in one go, directly exceeding Yun Xi's capacity limit.

After glancing at the transaction details, Yun Ximei's eyes widened in disbelief: "Did you rob the system store?"

"What are you thinking about?" Huan Cheng rolled his eyes at her, annoyed. "A guild tried to kill me before, and I got all this information by killing them back."

"So many? You haven't been killing people these past few days, have you?!" Yunxi blurted out, considering that Huan Cheng was only level 11.

"A mere few dozen petty thieves, how could it take several days? Go check the forum yourself!" Huan Cheng said nonchalantly, his gaze fixed on the newly served dishes.

As expected of Yunxi's praise, this restaurant is worth the sky-high price of 10 gold coins. The food is delicious and the aroma alone is enough to whet one's appetite.

Huan Cheng didn't stand on ceremony with Yun Xi. He picked up a piece of roasted venison and put it in his mouth. His taste buds were immediately enveloped by the deliciousness of the venison.

"Ding! You have consumed the E-grade delicacy, Glazed Roasted Immortal Deer. Your health regeneration increases by 10 per second for one hour."

"Holy crap, even eating puts you in a state of high alert?"

Upon hearing the system notification, Huan Cheng couldn't help but swear.

Yun Xi glanced at Huan Cheng and said disdainfully, "What's the big deal? Before I entered the trial grounds, I spent hundreds of gold coins to come here and feast!"

"So arrogant!"

Huan Cheng gave a thumbs up again.

"what!"

Just as Huan Cheng was enjoying the delicious food, he suddenly heard Yun Xi across from him exclaim in surprise, covering her mouth with her left hand and staring into the void.

Clearly, this was because they saw that post on the forum that was still trending.

"How are you so strong?" After realizing what was happening, Yunxi forgot about her meal and stared intently at Huan Cheng.

Huan Cheng's gaze was melancholy, and he sighed softly, "Strong? He earned it with his life!"
