　　Li Yiming returned to the river as Fang Shui'er looked on, confused.

　　'So why don't I have any special abilities?' Li Yiming was familiar with the game, but knowledge alone was not enough for him to beat the enemies he was facing.

　　'Wait a second, equipment?' Li Yiming suddenly remembered the crystal bow Fang Shui'er held. He distinctly remembered that Fang Shui'er had picked up a wooden bow at the start of the game.

　　Li Yiming had figured out a way to become stronger. He remembered that he could defeat minions and monsters to obtain gold, which he could then use to purchase items from the weapons shop near his nexus.

　　'If it's only gold I need…' Li Yiming turned his bloodthirsty eyes toward a cave in the middle of the forest. His knowledge of the game proved to be useful, allowing him to recall the location of three wolves that he could slay to obtain some precious in-game currency.

　　'I'll start with you…' Li Yiming walked toward the cave with a sinister smile.

　　 Li Yiming spotted the wolves right away as he entered the cavern. One of them was nearly as big as a buffalo, while the two other ones were around the size of an adult pig. All three stared at the intruder viciously and attacked as soon as Li Yiming charged at them with his sword.

　　Li Yiming smiled with the confidence of a sage as he thrust his sword toward the throat of the biggest wolf. 'I can't beat Wukong, but if you think that I'll have trouble handling a few animals…'

　　Ding!

　　A metallic clink was heard as Li Yiming's sword bounced back against the fur of the wolf.

　　'What? This hard?' His attack had produced nothing but a tiny white mark on wolf's pelt.

　　The three wolves had already surrounded Li Yiming, preventing him from repositioning himself. Li Yiming moved to the side and dodged the jaw of the first animal, but the claws of the second wolf were already aimed at him.

　　's.h.i.+t! They know how to cooperate?' Li Yiming ducked and rolled on the ground, barely dodging the attack after losing a few strands of hair.

　　'These monsters are just as scary as the monkey!' Li Yiming could no longer afford to underestimate the wolves as they proved to be much more troublesome than he had expected.

　　'I need to run.' Li Yiming decided with shame. He found it to be utterly embarra.s.sing to run away from mere wolves as a sage.
