"thanks for treatment."

After finishing all the delicacies in front of her, Bai Jin clasped her hands to express her gratitude. It had been a long time since she had felt so full and satisfied.

This kindness can only be repaid with hard work.

Yang Yu is just a novice adventurer, but she has been in this business for two years and has rich experience. Even if she is suffering from illness, it is not a problem for her to lead the newcomers to complete a few missions.

"Cough cough." Bai Jin felt pain in her chest. When no one was paying attention, she coughed softly, "He's been gone for so long, why hasn't he come back yet?"

After waiting for a while, Bai Jin gradually became restless.

She had heard some bad rumors about warrior mentors, and Bai Jin just hoped that Yang Yu would not get entangled with them or escape through the back door.

The money for this meal has not been paid yet. If he escapes through the back door, she will have to wash dishes for the Adventurer's Guild to pay him back. At that time, she swore to really curse that unfaithful man.

Picking up the staff, Bai Jin was about to check out the situation when Yang Yu opened the door of the VIP room and walked out with a greasy face.

"Are you OK?"

"It's okay. Whatever happens, it's better to say it's fine."

At first, Yang Yu thought that something unspeakable would happen like in a loli island in the cult game, but his worries turned out to be in vain.

Andernos is a warrior who loves fitness to the point of being crazy. Not only does he like fitness himself, he also likes to promote fitness everywhere. He wants everyone to become muscular men like him and be immune to all poisons.

Therefore, his assessment is to listen to him give a fitness class and master the knowledge points, so that people can exercise each muscle reasonably, fall in love with fitness and get rid of excess fat.

Yang Yu directly asked, "What the hell are you teaching? Apart from push-ups and weird dances, can this be called fitness?"

It's not like he hasn't played with fitness simulators before. They're much more effective than Androno's old-fashioned fitness method. He even learned how to flirt from the fitness simulator.

After chatting for a while, Andernuo was amazed at Yang Yu's knowledge of fitness. He was quite shocked and gave him a thumbs up, admitting that he was better.

Not only did Yang Yu successfully pass the assessment, he also used his skill points to learn [Cleave], [Intercept], [Sudden Killing], and [Shield Block], and through his own efforts he gained Andeno's recognition and got the skill [Valiant] for free.

Even if he was unlucky in the end and got a useless universal passive skill [Block] after completing the mission, it still didn't matter.

It’s a pity that I didn’t learn [Shield Counter] and [Taunt].

The former requires 100 skill points, and the latter. Andeno said that he had never heard of a skill that could make others actively attack him.

Yang Yu was shocked.

The most practical skills are not popularized

When you play warriors, do you always play fury, picking up your weapons and going straight in to fight? No wonder most of the skills you can learn are combat skills, and the defensive skills you can learn are either extremely expensive or completely useless.

What to do now? [Taunt] is a very important skill for a defensive warrior. It can save the life of a fragile teammate at a critical moment, allowing her to output with peace of mind.

Yang Yu has to find a way to get this skill.

You don't have to learn skills. Yang Yu learned the skill of [Four-leaf Clover Cultivation] after cultivating four-leaf clovers countless times. Perhaps as long as you keep mocking others, you can understand [Taunting].

Anyway, it's free, so it's worth a try. If you can master the trick of comprehending skills, the consumption of skill points will be greatly reduced.

After thinking it over, Yang Yu decided to find a way to get [Shield Counter] first. 100 skill points is a considerable number, so he has to upgrade it.

"I'm full, it's time to move around!"

After asking Bai Jin to follow him to settle the bill, Yang Yu walked to the task board which was filled with tasks of all sizes.

With just a glance, he immediately picked out a task.

[Hunting Goblins (D-Rank): The goblins in the Goblin Forest have been very restless recently, and many surrounding villages have been attacked.

Mission requirements: Clear out the goblins outside the Goblin Forest, 50G/goblin.

Note: The depths of the Goblin Forest are very dangerous. D-level adventurers should not approach casually. Leave it to professionals.]

Unlimited hunting missions, perfect for leveling up.

Around this mission, Yang Yu also took on a lot of side quests. He did whatever tasks he could, which is one of the ways to level up quickly.

After accepting the task, Yang Yu updated his equipment.

As an African, Yang Yu never expected to get anything good from monsters. The props he usually used for strategy were either bought in stores or obtained through hard work.

The small handheld shield increases defense without affecting speed, and is extremely cost-effective, making it the perfect choice for adventure. Yang Yu likes it very much.

In addition to himself, Yang Yu also bought equipment for Bai Jin.

"Can you really give me this thing?"

Bai Jin looked at the white pendant in her hand, not knowing whether she should accept this gift.

The name of this item is Heart of White Dew, and its price is 1100G. To afford such equipment, one must kill at least 22 goblins, but Yang Yu just gave it to her.

"This will help you fight and prevent you from failing at the most critical moment."

The Heart of White Dew is the best mana-restoring equipment Yang Yu could find. It increases the MP limit by 100 points, recovers two MP every five seconds, twenty-four MP per minute, which is rounded to one hundred million.

Although 1100G is not cheap, Bai Jin is the main output in the early stage of monster hunting and leveling, so this small investment is necessary.

After spending some time getting familiar with the feel of the new equipment, Yang Yu took Bai Jin to the Goblin Forest.

Priest resources are scarce, and the fact that the team has a novice monster user and a curse wizard who looks bad makes it even more difficult to recruit a priest.

Clearly aware of this, Yang Yu did not write a recruitment application on the recruitment column to recruit a priest, wasting time. Anyway, in the early stage, the monster damage is not high, and the priest often eats melons. It is better to wait until the middle and late stages, when the reputation and charm are up, to recruit a senior priest.

There was another reason for not recruiting priests in the early stage. Yang Yu used his rich fitness knowledge to conquer the fitness coach, ah, bah, warrior novice mentor Anderno, and got [Heroic and Vigorous] for free.

Once this skill is activated, friendly forces within a three-meter radius around the player will recover 3% of the damage caused by each of them, so there is no need to worry about losing too much health in the early stages. After all, how could an early-stage monster like a goblin keep kiting itself to death

After walking for a while, Yang Yu found traces of a campfire in the forest. There were no signs of any camping around. When he looked closer, he saw only some burnt branches, animal bones, and some spices.

There were fewer branches nearby, as if someone was hungry and was using local ingredients for a barbecue.

Yang Yu's intuition told him that things were not simple. The gnawed animal bones had obvious marks of being rubbed by fangs, and the surroundings were quiet, as if this was a trap.

The leaves rustled, and suddenly, countless stone axes flew out from the air.

"Hide behind me!" He gave the order, raised his shield, and stood in front of Bai Jin, "[Intercept]"

A ray of light extended from Yang Yu's shield, forming a light shield that enveloped himself and blocked all the stone axes.

"Come out!"

Yang Yu looked towards the tree canopy, where the leaves rustled. Ugly green creatures with long noses, pointed ears, and long noses jumped down from the tree canopy, picked up the fallen stone axes, stared at the smooth-skinned humans in front of them, and let out shrill laughs.

Yes, they are laughing.

Twenty to two, this is an absolute numerical advantage. How can they lose when the dragon hits their face

Everything is just as that adult said. The arrogant humans did not understand the greatness of the goblins. At the beginning, only a few teams came in separately and fought each other. Now, as long as they unite, they can easily catch them.

Despair! Wail! A team of only two people can do nothing!

It should have been so, but in the goblin's eyes, Yang Yu was not at all panicked. He slowly drew out his sword and smiled.
