Zi Jiao did not have to do missions to get money, Liu Yang had given her enough to live until the moment of her death. However, she did not want to draw unnecessary attention to herself, she decided to spend just what she needed.Returning to the city, Zi Jiao rented a cheap room to spend the night, as there was still food in her s.p.a.ce bag, she just ate something that quenched her hunger and then went to sleep.
The next day…
Zi Jiao bought several kinds of pills, elixirs, and food for all kinds of situations, Liu Yang had given her a s.p.a.ce ring, but she did not know that, because she was camouflaged with Xillia Wolf"s ability. The s.p.a.ce ring looked like an ordinary ring, and only Zi Jiao could use it because it was signed with her blood.
Liu Yang said she should only see the contents of the ring as a last resource, if not, in that case, Zi Jiao should not open under any circ.u.mstances the ring. She listened intently to Liu Yang"s words and was going to follow them.
After she had finished buying the items needed to spend a year inside the forest, Zi Jiao rode on the horse and headed toward the forest again.
It took a few hours to reach the entrance of the forest, this time, Zi Jiao sent the horse back to after it came down, as the goal was to kill as many creatures as possible and level it out for a year.
The entrance to the forest was the same as before, full of people looking for group and people coming in alone, there were many people dressed in black coming and going.
After entering the forest, Zi Jiao began to run, her speed was quite fast, as the strength of the body was much greater than that of a normal person, she was able to travel long distances in a short time. With each step Zi Jiao took, it was four steps from an ordinary person.
Another reason that helped Zi Jiao was that she was fed by the essence of Liu Yang, as she always fainted from fatigue, Zi Jiao could not hear the sounds of systems that came up after she received the essence of Liu Yang in her body. The few points in the basic statistics she received made a lot of difference in a fight.
After running for a few hours, Zi Jiao finally stopped, she arrived at the same place she was the day before, where she had found the wolves.
Looking at her stats, Zi Jiao saw that her Stamina was low, she decided to find a place to make a good camp. The place she found was a site covered by trees and looked like a natural hut made of leaves and branches.
As Zi Jiao had a bit of experience in camping, since the orphanage had some courses that everyone had to do, and the art of survival was one of them. Although the cabin on the ground is a good location, Zi Jiao preferred a higher location, this would avoid many types of animals.
She just took several vines and tied several branches and then covered with many leaves, this took the form of a bed in the middle of the trees. It was not too high, but it was not too low, the height could be considered medium.
After the meal, Zi Jiao just lay in bed and stared at the light that was in the sky and began to think about what Liu Yang was doing at that moment. Seconds later, her beautiful eyes began to close slowly.
...
Several months later ...
A shadow ran through the forest, whenever a creature appeared ahead, it was killed quickly. When the shadow stopped moving, you could see that it was a person wearing a black cloak, she was Zi Jiao.
It"s been six months since Zi Jiao entered the forest, the only thing she did during that time was to hunt creatures to level. Currently, it was at level 25, the level was low because the creatures that lived in that forest were low.
Zi Jiao was in the zone of transition between the initial and middle zone of the forest, the reason she did not go quickly to the places with more powerful creatures was that she wanted to practice its foundation.
After level 10, Zi Jiao was feeling uncomfortable while using Liu Yang"s little sword, since her Strength attribute was extremely large compared to an ordinary person, Zi Jiao wanted to use a bigger and heavier sword or something that could balance with her strength.
To help her survive, Liu Yang had taught the basics of the forge to Zi Jiao, she only knew how to make simple and improvised weapons. The weapon she wears today was just a stone-made club that Zi Jiao had found halfway through.
Using the sword that Liu Yang had given, Zi Jiao stoned a large, st.u.r.dy stone into the shape of a large, heavy club. The club was two meters long and a half meter in diameter, the base to hold was like the handle of a sword, the item was extremely heavy if held by an ordinary person, but for Zi Jiao, it was like a piece of paper.
In this way, the creatures" deaths were extremely b.l.o.o.d.y, with each club swing, bodies were blown up in several pieces. When Zi Jiao first killed a Forest Black Bear with the club, she vomited at the sight of the b.l.o.o.d.y, grotesque scene.
The bear"s body was destroyed and the guts began to spread around the place, if an ordinary person saw this scene, it would vomit instantly.
After a few months of use, Zi Jiao began to lose the feeling of nausea, she began to get used to the b.l.o.o.d.y scene before her. After training for some time with the club and becoming accustomed as if it were part of her body, Zi Jiao headed toward the middle zone.
...
In the transition area, there was a crowd in the place, after walking a little. Zi Jiao realized that there was a portal that could be used in the city and that led directly to the transition zone, but there was a small fee for that.
Zi Jiao finally understood why she had not found anyone for a few months after going to a certain point in the forest. The reason for this was that people would rather pick up the portal after they reached level 10-13, this would avoid the work of traveling for a few months.
But thanks to that thought the vast majority had, people like Zi Jiao could level in peace, even if the creatures are low level. If Zi Jiao knew this before, she could be at level 40 or higher.
If Zi Jiao could choose, she would choose not to know about it, because she would not have the opportunity to create her own weapon and test it. This helped her to find out what kind of weapon she would like to use in the future, the stone-made club was just the beginning, Zi Jiao wanted to find out what other types of weapon she could use.
