Inside the room, filled with a lewd atmosphere.
"Get ready. Tomorrow, I'll ask Bai Ge out for a drink."
Hu Youliang lay on his side on the bed, embracing the profusely sweating Zhang Xiaoxiao, a smile flashing in his eyes.
Zhang Xiaoxiao, hearing this, lazily raised her head and asked, "You need my cooperation?"
Hu Youliang chuckled twice. "Smart! I'll find a way to get him drunk then... it's all up to your performance."
Zhang Xiaoxiao's face showed a hint of disgust. "I feel sick just looking at him, and you want me to..."
Hu Youliang cut her off before she could finish. "Where are you thinking? Drunk, understand? Nothing will actually happen."
Zhang Xiaoxiao understood almost instantly, but then a flicker of hesitation appeared in her eyes. "What if he doesn't admit it?"
Hu Youliang's face immediately twisted into a ferocious expression. "You don't need to worry about that. At that point, he won't have a choice!"
Meanwhile.
Bai Ge had no idea that someone was plotting against him.
He was currently hiding in a giant locust tree, quietly observing several Mane Beasts that had been attracted by the scent of pine tar below the tree.
The next second, a blue light flashed in his eyes and vanished.
The Observer title activated!
---
Mane Beast Lv2: Omnivorous natural creature
HP: 52 / 52
Attack: 2 ~ 3
Defense: 2 ~ 3
---
"Unlike the Famine Eater, this one seems to only provide me with strength and Stamina bonuses."
Bai Ge observed silently. The Famine Eater's attribute panel previously only had attack and speed, so he could only gain Strength and Agility attributes through Dispossess.
But the current Mane Beast only had attack and defense, so it would likely only provide him with Strength and Stamina attributes.
Below the tree, Bai Ge had set up several animal traps smeared with pine tar.
Watching the Mane Beasts gather, a cold glint appeared in Bai Ge's eyes.
"Hmph wu~"
Soon, a mournful cry rang out.
Below the tree, a sturdy Mane Beast was caught by a trap on its hind leg.
Bai Ge immediately looked in the direction of the sound, and at the same time, a javelin he had bought from a weapon shop appeared in his hand.
---
Iron Javelin: Throwing weapon
Equip Level: 0
Attack: 1 ~ 2
Durability: 9 ~ 12
---
"Go!"
The next second, Bai Ge forcefully threw the javelin in his hand towards the head of the trapped Mane Beast, while simultaneously allocating all his free attribute points to Strength.
Of the 5 free attribute points he received as an extra reward during the internal test, 2 had already been used, but after leveling up to Lv.5, he gained 4 more, resulting in a total of 7 free attribute points.
With a Strength attribute as high as 12, coupled with Bai Ge's elevated position in the tree.
Under the terrifying momentum, the javelin directly pierced through the Mane Beast's head, pinning it to the ground.
Prompt: Experience +1 (level lower than host, reduced by 80%)
Prompt: Plunder Talent takes effect, Strength +0.02, Stamina +0.02
Prompt: Host achieved a one-hit kill, discerning the Mane Beast's weakness.
Bai Ge didn't have time to check the title reward because another Mane Beast had already fallen into a trap below the tree.
He quickly threw another javelin.
Prompt: Experience +1 (level lower than host, reduced by 80%)
Prompt: Plunder Talent takes effect, Strength +0.02, Stamina +0.02
Gradually, the continuous cries of the Mane Beasts echoed throughout the forest.
Soon, the first batch of six Mane Beasts was successively hunted by Bai Ge.
After jumping down from the tree, Bai Ge immediately went to the bodies of these Mane Beasts, first collecting their corpses, then resetting the traps, and finally, after smearing them with pine tar, Bai Ge returned to the tree to quietly await the arrival of the next batch of Mane Beasts.
For a full 3 hours afterward, Bai Ge ruthlessly harvested the lives of Mane Beasts using traps and javelins.
He only stopped when all the traps and javelins in his backpack lost their durability.
Prompt: Host has killed over 100 Mane Beasts, earning the title Wild Boar Killer.
Wild Boar Killer: +50% damage against Mane Beasts
Bai Ge was a bit tired at the moment, but his eyes sparkled with excitement.
And in his backpack, over 100 Mane Beast corpses were now densely piled up.
Bai Ge then opened his panel to check it.

Over 100 experience points, plus more than two points of Strength and Stamina gained through the Plunder Talent on the real-world panel.
This doesn't even count the more than 100 Mane Beast corpses under the tree.
If those corpses were included, after completing the quest, Bai Ge would also receive an additional 200+ experience points and 200+ copper coins.
Moreover, as time passed, Bai Ge's health had largely recovered.
His method of hunting Mane Beasts without taking damage was truly professional.
In fact, this hunting method also came from a video he had once seen in reality; professional hunters hunted wild boars in this manner.
The difference was that they used compound bows, while Bai Ge used javelins.
"Indeed, it all comes from life. This hunting skill is really practical."
Bai Ge was very satisfied with his harvest, but looking at the remaining fatigue value on his attribute panel, a reluctant expression immediately appeared in his eyes.
"It's a shame there isn't much fatigue left. After I turn in the quest, I might be forced offline."
The fatigue value attribute was unique to the game before the Deep Darkness Descent.
It was essentially an anti-addiction measure.
Every 1 point of fatigue corresponded to half an hour.
Everyone's initial fatigue value was 15 points, which translates to 7.5 hours.
However, there would later be ways to increase fatigue, but the maximum limit could not exceed 24 points, or 12 hours.
And restoring fatigue could only be done by logging out to rest, with the same conversion: half an hour restores one point.
"But once the deep gloom completely descends upon reality, there will be no fatigue limit."
Bai Ge suddenly felt a pang of emotion.
"I wonder what changes will happen to my two panels then?"
While collecting the Mane Beast corpses from under the tree, Bai Ge couldn't help but speculate.
Will they merge?
If he had two panels, and his attributes could stack after the Deep Darkness Descent, wouldn't he be incredibly strong?
Or could he have two sets of equipment?
If the equipment attributes stacked, wouldn't he still far surpass others?
Unconsciously, all the Mane Beast corpses had been collected into Bai Ge's game backpack.
Bai Ge then walked towards Nest Capital without stopping.
Because his fatigue value was now only 1 point.
He had to complete the quest within half an hour, otherwise, he would be forcibly disconnected and logged out of the game.

"Oh my god! 102 Mane Beasts, you truly are my great savior!"
Butcher Wang's eyes gleamed as he looked at the piles of Mane Beast corpses, his mouth full of praise for Bai Ge.
Prompt: The number of Mane Beast corpses you provided has exceeded 100. Butcher Wang's favorability has increased from 'Stranger' to 'Friendly'.
Prompt: Butcher Wang's favorability has risen to Friendly. Reward increased by 10%.
Prompt: Side quest 'Butcher's Request' completed. Reward: 225 experience (increased by 10%), 225 copper coins (increased by 10%).
Prompt: Level increased from Lv.5 to Lv.6.
Bai Ge hadn't expected such an unexpected bonus.
At the same time, the forced logout prompt sounded.
Prompt: For your health, the system will force a logout connection.
