Chapter 8 – The Public’s Attention From The Arrival of The Boss
Su Ming opened his status bar and looked at his status.

HP: 2100
MP: 1202

He was quite satisfied with his stats.
“It’s time to take up the Town Mayor’s hidden quest next.” Su Ming said to himself.
The Mayor’s quest was a chain quest, and the first two quests rewarded him with an especially large amount of gold, as well as items that he was currently in need of.
Just as he was about to return from the way he came, the system prompt rang out suddenly.
“Ding! Aaron Town’s Notice!”
“Due to the mass killing of wild wolves, the Stormwolf King’s wrath has been incurred and will send a team led by a Stormwolf Leader to the Black Crow Forest to take revenge on the player.”
“Arrival time: 03:00.”
“The Leader monster?!”
Su Ming’s eyes brightened.
In <Origin>, lord monsters were known as Bosses, while the Leader was a Mini-Boss. By killing Bronze or higher-grade leader monsters, he would be able to obtain free attribute points.
Quest rewards above the Bronze grade also included free attribute points.
For players, the attribute values received from leveling up were fixed.
Thus, the more rare quests a player had completed and more Bosses killed, the more the attribute gap would there be between players.
“The location isn’t far, I’ll take the first kill of this leader!”
Su Ming headed towards his destination.
A few minutes later, he crossed the woods and reached his target location.
At this moment, the nearby woods were crowded by players.
No player can refuse the temptation of a Boss’s reward, even if they knew that the Boss’s stats were superior to them, their fantasies continue to live on!
【Stormwolf Leader (Bronze)】
Level: 3
Rank: Leader
HP: 18000
Attack: 375
Defense: 170
Magic Defense: 100
Skills: Myriad Wind Blades Lv2, Wind Blades Lv4, Pluck Lv4, Swift Lv2
Leader’s Aura: Provide 10% stats increase to allies within the monster’s range.
Just the attributes of a Bronze Leader were enough to crush the players.
There were trees everywhere, hampering the movement of the players. It seemed like a random Wind Blade from the Stormwolf Leader could kill a dozen players in a matter of seconds.
There was absolutely no room to dodge.
“Fu*k! Are you guys stupid? Can’t y’all stop crowding?! If this continues, not only will we not be able to kill the Boss, but we also won’t even be able to kill a Wild Wolf Elite!” A Warrior shouted indignantly.
Unfortunately, no one paid attention to him.
Su Ming stood on the periphery watching the scene. He wasn’t anxious at all because he knew that these players cannot beat the Stormwolf Leader.
Instantly, he started casting buffs on himself in a corner while waiting for the crowd to disperse.
To kill a Level 3 Bronze Leader, one needed a complete set of rare outfit, including at least 5 Bronze items. Sadly, none of the players met the requirements.
Not long after, a few guilds came over.
Under the guild’s command, ordinary wild wolves and Wild Wolf Elites were slaughtered by the players.
However, the Stormwolf Leader was the most difficult to deal with.
“Fu*k, this mini-boss is too abnormal! No one can break that impregnable defense.”
A few players had the talent to weaken an enemy’s defenses, but unfortunately, it’s either the MP consumption was huge or the players wanted to keep the defense-break effect to themselves. Still, it wouldn’t contribute much to the battle even if they were to use it.
After getting themselves into a stalemate and getting no result out of it, the casual players lost interest and left.
The remaining players were divided into three groups: those from Fei Yu Guild, Ye Ren Guild, and Xian Ying Guild.
The players from Fei Yu Guild were Su Ming’s acquaintances — heck! It was the same players he met in the forest.
“Brother Ling Chen, do you still want this Stormwolf Leader?”
The vice president of the Ye Ren Guild,『Ye Ran Yan』casually asked.
“It’s defense is too high for us to fight it.”
Fei Yu Guild’s Ling Chen shook his head, intending to leave with her companions.
Just as everyone gave up on killing the Stormwolf Leader, a figure walked past the crowd and headed towards the monster…
“What does this guy want to do? Does he want to kill the Stormwolf Leader?”
“He doesn’t even have decent equipment on him. He’d be considered lucky if he isn’t instantly killed by that Stormwolf.”
“Even the Fei Yu Guild isn’t a match for the Stormwolf Leader. What’s with this guy? Haha, he’s simply delusional.”
Su Ming’s figure attracted the attention of the players.
Most players showed their disdain.
“Isn’t that him?!”
Seeing Su Ming, the Fei Yu Guild players’ faces brightened up.
“Cang Hai… I haven’t heard of a player by that name in the gaming world. Does Brother Ling Chen know him?”
Ye Ren Yan curiously asked.
“We’ve sort of met before.”
The corners of his eyes trembled as he remembered the image of Su Ming swinging his staff to instantly kill Feng Luan in the forest.
Fei Yu’s Ling Chen said with expectations, “If it’s him, there might be a chance he’d kill the Stormwolf Leader.”
“Huh? Ling Chen, you’re fu*king kidding me, right?” Ye Ran Yan didn’t believe him at all.
He said disdainfully, “The game had been opened for not that long… Who can break through 100 defenses? Not to mention that that monster’s attack is over 300! Even a warrior, a class with high base defense and health, can only resist two hits at most.”
“Let’s wait and see…”
Ling Chen mysteriously smiled.
He turned around and shouted, “Brother Cang Hai, do you need us to provide assistance?”
“Thank you, but that won’t be necessary.”
Su Ming directly refused.
…
On the other side, the Stormwolf Leader was launching its first attack.
Hundreds of players had their eyes focused on Su Ming and his actions, waiting for this arrogant player to die in front of their own eyes.
The battle was on!
