[Demon Blood Dagger (Purple): This dagger embodies the painstaking effort of Goblin Kingdom craftsmen. Besides being razor-sharp, the wielder gains the power of demon blood, increasing all stats by 30% for one minute.]
[You are told you can use this dagger, but there is an undeniable condition.]
[That is, you must kill another Sitting Wolf.]
[You grip this wonderfully shaped dagger in your hand, and other thoughts arise in your mind.]
[“Which family of goblins are you from?”]
[Zagu pats your shoulder and asks, you tell him you are from the Skull-Nail Family, and he is greatly shocked.]
[“When did the lowest Skull-Nail Family produce a goblin capable of killing a Sitting Wolf?!”]
[Zagu gives a few words of advice, including how to use the Demon Blood Dagger, then reluctantly leaves.]
[You don’t know the bet between him and Jiazi. You only know that after reaching Level 6, your chances of facing a Sitting Wolf alone are high.]
[Soon, a Sitting Wolf in perfect condition is released, staring at you with its cold eyes.]
[You feel the power brought by the Demon Blood Dagger.]
[A piercing cold spreads through your body.]
[Demon Blood Dagger (Purple) has been activated, all stats increased by 30%.]
[You feel you have never been this strong. You lift your head and meet the Sitting Wolf’s gaze.]
[Confusion appears in the Sitting Wolf’s originally arrogant eyes.]
[It sees a killing intent from the King of the Jungle in your eyes, which baffles it.]
…
[Half an hour later, the corpse of a Sitting Wolf lies on the ground, its abdomen torn open, blood soaking the already dark red earth.]
[Congratulations, Host, for killing an Alpha Wolf. Experience Points increased by 450.]
[Congratulations, Host, for leveling up to LV.8.]
[The pleasure of leveling up temporarily frees you from the pain of your body.]
[Compared to the previous elegant battle, this fight was brutal. You broke your just-recovered arm, and your legs were also broken once.]
[Limb Regeneration (Blue) talent has been triggered.]
[Fortunately, you have the Limb Regeneration talent. The wounded areas are slowly repairing, and soon they will be usable.]
[However, compared to when there was only one wound at the beginning, the recovery speed has slowed down significantly.]
‘It seems that this Limb Regeneration talent is related to the severity and number of wounds…’
[You vaguely feel that your abdomen is also injured. Looking down, a bloody wound is very conspicuous.]
[This wound does not have the recovery ability of the limbs. It seems this talent only repairs the limbs; the core area has no recovery function.]
[Zagu leaps down, excitement shining in his eyes.]
[“Not bad, really not bad!”]
[Judging by his expression, it’s as if he won several thousand Gold Coins.]
[“I didn’t expect you to kill this Sitting Wolf with just two strikes. Do you know some Battle Technique? That last move was clearly extraordinary.”]
[You hear the term Battle Technique for the first time, so you show a confused expression.]
[Zagu doesn’t ask further and leads you toward the tent.]
[He doesn’t suspect your recovery ability.]
[“By the way, where’s the dagger?”]
[“Uh… I don’t know where it fell.”]
[“It’s fine, I’ll have my subordinates look for it.”]
[Zagu isn’t too worried; the dagger can’t sprout wings and fly away. It must have fallen in the venue.]
[“Lord Zagu, what about the rewards you mentioned earlier…”]
[“Don’t worry, it’s one hundred percent true.”]
[Zagu leads you into the tent, where Jiazi is already gone.]
[“Here are two hundred Gold Coins. Take them. As for the Saintess, you’d better buy a house in the city and lock her up. I’ll keep her for you for now.”]
[You weigh the bag of Gold Coins. Your still-not-fully-recovered arm can barely lift it.]
[“From now on, you are a member of our Goblin Legion. What’s your name?”]
[“I don’t have a name yet…”]
[Incredulity shows in Zagu’s eyes. A goblin without a name possessing such talent is unheard of to him.]
[“I’ll give you a suggestion. Join my legion, and I’ll give you a Battle Technique Scroll. Think it over.”]
[You finally understand that this Zagu in front of you wants to recruit you.]
[Zagu’s mana is no less than that of the Witch you encountered, probably only slightly inferior to that S-rank Fire Mage adventurer.]
[In any case, he has already given two hundred Gold Coins and even intends to give you the Saintess. It seems he really wants you to join his legion.]
[You don’t refuse; you nod.]
[“Good, then go buy a house first, and use these Gold Coins to purchase some equipment and weapons.”]
[Zagu sizes up the Ironwood Club in your hand.]
[“This club is not bad, but you need sharper weapons to pry open human armor cans.”]
[“High Priest Zagu, we didn’t find the Demon Blood Dagger.”]
[“What?”]
[Zagu shows a puzzled expression, then looks at you suspiciously.]
[“You…”]
[Zagu’s vast mana sweeps over your entire body. However, the dagger was already stored in your Safe Box, so naturally, it cannot be found by him.]
[“Strange. It’s not on you either. Where could it have gone?”]
[“Keep searching!”]
[You are checked several more times, but Zagu still finds nothing. In the end, he can only assume that Jiazi used some method to take the dagger, so he accepts his bad luck.]
[After all, they will see each other often in the future. He wouldn’t fall out with him over a dagger.]
[Finally, you walk out of the Selection Ground. A breath unique to the Goblin Kingdom caresses your face.]
[This is the first time you can move freely since you were transported to this world.]
[The scene before you feels very novel.]
[Goblin nobles in fine clothes ride giant lizards, strutting arrogantly on the main road.]
[From a roadside tavern comes the shrill laughter of goblins. Several humans are tied naked at the door, with signs reading “One Gold Coin” hanging on their chests.]
[You take out the dagger and put it close to your body, then stuff the Gold Coins into the Safe, and walk into the goblin city.]
