Chapter 15: Wisdom
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Wang Shuo glanced at the three catgirls from the corner of his eye. Suddenly, he jumped up, raised his hands high, and smashed them down like a heavy hammer.
The purple-clothed catgirl snorted in disdain. She took a step back and easily dodged the fists.
But right at this moment, a green light suddenly flashed.
“You’re courting death!” The purple-clothed catgirl’s expression darkened. Her hands swiftly moved to her waist, and then her two scimitars sliced upward.
At the same time, the three green-clothes catgirls watching from above meowed and jumped down.
A friendly spar instantly turned into a life-and-death battle.
From this moment, Wang Shuo’s life was on the line, and it was he who forced himself into this precarious situation.
But he was unfazed. He clenched his teeth, and killing intent flooded his eyes.
All of his strength flowed from his legs to his waist, from his spine to his arms. Finally, it all gathered on the Green Dragon Staff.
This was the first time he used his strength at full force. As the staff slammed down, even the air vibrated violently as it emanated an ear-piercing sound of friction.
Kacha!
As the crisp sound of metal breaking rang out, the rage on the catgirl’s face instantly turned into astonishment. Before she could even react, the shadow of the staff zoomed toward her as the ferocious dragon’s head grew infinitely larger in her vision.
The next second, red and white matter splattered and slowly disappeared into the air.
[You killed the Cat Demon Leader.]
[You receive White Treasure Chest x1.]
Wang Shuo didn’t have time to pay attention to the notifications because he focused all of his senses on the three green-clothed cat demons flickering behind him.
The next instant, six daggers stabbed at the back of his head, spine, kidneys, and hamstrings of both legs.
They covered every position of his body and were impossible to guard against.
Even so, Wang Shuo looked calm.

Although the green-clothes cat demons were clearly faster than the ordinary yellow-furred cat demons, they were still far inferior to him.
If the purple-clothes catgirl hadn’t died or if there were two more opponents, he wouldn’t be their match.
But with only three, it would be a breeze for him to deal with them.
He stepped forward out of the attack range at a speed that far exceeded that of the catgirls. Then without stopping, he spun around and swept across.
One of the catgirls closed in too quickly. Even though she wanted to block the Green Dragon Staff with her daggers, the Green Dragon Staff was far superior and instantly shattered the blades into pieces.
The staff continued forward and smashed her head.
The last two were no threat either. Their weapons were quickly destroyed, and their heads were smashed.
[You killed Elite Cat Demon x3.]
[You receive White Treasure Chest x3.]
[You annihilated the Cat Demon Forest.]
[You receive Cat Demons’ Inheritance Treasure Chest x1.]
Looking at the notifications before him, Wang Shuo leaned against a stone pillar and sat down.
“Damn it. That scared me!”
Although this battle only took less than a minute from the beginning to the end, it had completely exhausted him.
In fact, the moment he saw the purple-clothed catgirl and the three green-clothed catgirls, he had already noticed that something was amiss.
He knew that he had been too careless and made an empirical mistake.
The experience of clearing the kobold camp made him assume that the catgirl leader would also be alone, so he barged in without much thought.
When he realized that something was amiss, he wanted to escape, but he didn’t know the strength of the purple-clothed catgirl.
If the opponent’s speed was above his, escaping would only exacerbate his dangerous position.
Just as he was hesitating, the purple-clothed catgirl’s words gave him a glimmer of hope.
With his words, he led her on and successfully got her to agree to a barehanded spar.

There was only one reason for this—to create a one-on-one situation.
When five catgirls besieged him earlier, he was already pushing his limits.
If he had been surrounded by these four catgirls who were clearly stronger, with one even being a boss, he would have definitely died.
But one-on-one, there was a chance he could use the advantage of his weapon to catch his opponent off guard.
It would be even better if he was lucky enough to kill his opponent in one attack.
Of course, there was a prerequisite for all of this—the difference in strength was not too significant.
If the opponent’s speed really exceeded his expectations, Wang Shuo would not hesitate to surrender and join their race.
He was not a greenhorn. With his cheat, he had the confidence to rise even if his initial race was trash. On the contrary, if he died, there would be nothing left.
After all, as the saying went, if you can’t beat them, join them.
Therefore, barehanded sparring was his biggest hope.
There was no safer and more reasonable method of checking out another’s strength than this.
“This is wisdom!”
Wang Shuo couldn’t help praising himself. After more than ten minutes, when his emotions calmed down, he suddenly realized something.
“The second trial isn’t finished?”
The catgirls were already freakishly strong. If not for the Green Dragon Staff, a mystic-tier weapon, he would be a transvestite cat demon by now.
But this wasn’t even the final boss of the second trial. How f*cking ridiculous.
Wang Shuo’s relaxed mood immediately tensed up again.
“No, I have to continue improving my strength!”
Wang Shuo opened his inventory and looked at the 24 White Treasure Chests and the Special Treasure Chest. He rubbed his hands together excitedly.
When he played games in the past, he especially liked to open loot boxes. Even though the drop rate he experienced now as a ‘special’ player was abnormally high, he never got tired of it.
And with Selection Option, his passion only deepened.
“The catgirls were stronger than the kobolds, so the drop rate should be higher, right?”
With this thought, Wang Shuo opened a White Treasure Chest.
“Sure enough!”
In the treasure chest, the Five Grain Pills and the Water Droplets were there as always. But the three options had upgraded to 5, 10, and 15.
The third loot was a material, two sharp cat claws, and the fourth was a weapon fragment.
[Cat Demon’s Poisoned Dagger x1 (Fragment)]
Grade: Middle Yellow Tier
Description: The dagger is exceptionally sharp. Any contact with blood will kill.
Fragment 1/5 (Collect all the fragments to form a complete weapon.)
“Only middle yellow tier? No wonder it’s so weak!”
Wang Shuo shook his head. Just as he was about to choose all Five Grains Pills, he suddenly had a thought and opened the forum.
He first scrolled through the topic titles and found many people complaining about the difficulty of the second trial.
But there were many players also seriously sharing their strategies.
From these guides, Wang Shuo realized that compared to his abnormal difficulty, the second trial for other players seemed much more normal.
Apart from the difficulty, regular players would obtain a unique item called ‘Pet Sealing Card (Temporary)’ after clearing the first camp.
With it, players could seal a non-human creature (including bosses) killed within an hour as a pet to assist in battle.
The creature would last for the duration of the Newcomer’s Trial or until the pet’s death.
The moment he saw this, Wang Shuo was green with envy.

If not for the fact that it was a player-bound item, he would have gotten a few.
If he could have gotten the four cat demon sisters to aid him, the ensuing battles would have definitely been much easier.
Alas, he couldn’t trade for them.
After reading the forum for a while and not finding anything else useful, Wang Shuo sent a message:
