    “System: The Hunter yer Starfire, has wlesslypleted the Boss-level Glory Hunt, his heroic figure will be remembered by all, Hunter profession statue activated.”


    “System: A statue of yer Starfire will stand in any beginner’s vige in the world, all hunters under level ten will receive a hunting buff effect. Paying respect to the statue once a day will yield an hour of double experience effect.”


    With the system’s notifications flooding the screen, everyone was in an uproar. In a scenario where most yers couldn’t even defeat elites, someone had single-handedly in a boss and sessfully breached its rank, rendering countless yers aware of the glory requirements in disbelief.


    “I’ve got a buff, before level ten my damage increases by 10%, defense by 10%, and movement speed by 5%.” A hunter eximed.


    “Great, hunters are so powerful.”


    “Look, a statue has appeared on the fountain in the middle of the square, it must be the great master, Starfire.”


    “The master’s statue even has an inscription, and a message: Hunters are not weaker than any other professions – Starfire.” A yer sent the inscription to the public channel.


    “Master Starfire is right, Hunters are not weaker than any other professions, I won’t delete my ount and start over.”


    “Yes, Hunters are not inferior to any profession, so what if no one wants to form a team with us, we Hunters can form our own teams as well.”


    “Exactly, we even have the buff, and double-experience time, do other professions have that? I won’t delete my ount either.”


    “If a master can do it, so can we.”


    Endless Wind said in the world channel: “That’s impossible, I’ve tried to solo the Raptor King at level four, but barely managed to break its defense, dealing less than a hundred points of damage to the boss before dying. It feels as difficult as ascending to heaven just to solo an elite.”


    “Ah, it’s Wind God, he’s one of the top three master solo yers.”


    Green Mountain God said: “What Wind is saying is true, I tried it today as well, and still failed.”


    “Green Mountain God, his skills are not inferior to Wind, it’s even said that he has practiced martial arts. Even Green Mountain God says it can’t be done.”


    “Even Wind God and Green Mountain God can’t do it, did that Starfire use a bug?”


    “Yes, it must be a bug.”


    Countless yers lodgedints, but after a while, they received system responses saying that everything was normal.


    The yers knew it wasn’t a bug, and the Hunter yers were feeling proud, while yers of other professions were resentful.


    “What are you high-skilled yers of other professions doing, with so many administrative areas in every continent, so many league teams, so many guilds, and so many high-skilled bystanders publishing strategies, what on earth are you all doing?”


    As soon as this post appeared on the forum, it was quickly pushed to prominence, with countless ordinary yers starting to vent their frustrations.


    How were they to know that these professional teams andrge guilds were already privy to more inside information, and that they had entered the game with the intention ofpleting this sort of glory. They were also in apetitive spirit, every single one of them.


    Who wouldn’t want their statue to be erected in the square, or to be famous for their sess? But damn it, they were still in the exploration stage, they were barely defeating elites, but in they were also researching how to breach their ranks. Yet, out of nowhere came this freak.


    However, there’s still hope for them, the statues of other professions are still avable.


    Even professional teams or guild members who had chosen Hunters were few and far between, after all, they’re just ying a game, not all of them are skilled archers.


    With the development of society to this point, archery can only be viewed during the Olympic Games, even special forces are using high-tech weapons. These old-fashioned bows and arrows haven’t been used for over a thousand years.


    Of course, Li Yao knew what was going to happen. With his ten years’ of experience, such glory was nothing. What made him pleased was the retention of many yers who were considering giving up on the Hunter profession, and the rewards he was about to receive.


    Li Yao coughed lightly and said, “Mentor, don’t you think it’s time for my reward?”


    The Hunter Mentor Eileen nodded, took out three items, and said, “Due to the boss-level Glory Item you submitted, you can choose one from these three excellent items.”


    Hunter’s Bow


    Quality: Excellent (Blue)


    Attack: 12-15


    Strength: 7


    Agility: 5


    Adds 3 points of poison damage when shooting


    Equipment Requirement: Level 3


    This bow is a good item, with high attack and attribute bonuses, it’s an absolutely top-notch bow.


    Strong Strike Aura: Increases your and your teammates’ ranged damage by 10% and movement speed by 5%.


    Alchemy: After use, learn Beginner Alchemy.


    A Strong Strike Aura is a great skill book and is a must-learn skill for hunters, having it now would give him a significant boost.


    Alchemy isn’t bad, saving him from doingplex tasks to learn it, but Li Yao didn’t want to learn ordinary Alchemy. Strong Strike Aura can be bought, but the blue bow is quite rare.


    “Thank you, mentor.” Li Yao crumbled the skill book.


    “I also want to learn Engineering, I wonder if the mentor is willing to give me a rmendation?” Li Yao didn’t leave but continued to chat with Eileen.


    “Young n member, it seems you know quite a bit.” Eileen showed a faint smile, handed Li Yao a letter and said: “Give this letter to him and you will be able to learn Engineering.”


    Li Yao thanked Eileen again and turned to leave.


    In the eighth year of the game, the Light Faction’s millions of yers invaded the city, choosing to pass by the Tower of the Sun to massacre the High Elf beginner’s vige before going to Silvermoon City.


    As a result, they met with tragedy. This Engineering Trainer was a world-ss boss, even more formidable than the regent of Silvermoon City, and he directly killed millions of Light Faction yers until they were in total disarray.


    Later, the yers discovered that he was the only male heir of the Windrunner siblings, a preeminent High Elf family, second only to the Sunstrider royal family, with unparalleled influence among the High Elves.


    Among the three Windrunner sisters, the eldest sister was the wife of the Great Marshal of the Light Faction, and the middle sister, Sylvanas, died defending Silvermoon City. But now she became the queen of the Undead n, rated as the most popr NPC beauty by yers in the previous life, with countless diehard fans.


    The youngest sister was the wife of the leader of the Great Mages of the City of Mages, Dran, also extremely prominent.


    While their youngest brother, thought to be dead by everyone, was actually living in disguise in a small beginner vige after the cmity. If Li Yao wanted to be a Mechanical Hunter, he would need to interact with him for an extended period.


    The square had now be a bustling marketce, with yers’ stalls everywhere, it was packed to the brim with people.


    Li Yao found a corner, paid ten copper coins to a guard, and got a stall for himself.


    After giving it some thought, he began selling his items at the stall, set the prices and then closed his eyes to rest.


    Soon, yers noticed the items Li Yao was selling.


    “Watts, two equipment, a green shield, and a blue dagger, damn.”


    “What are green and blue equipment? Didn’t you see all those elite crowns and warrior spirits, is this guy from a big guild?”


    “You’re the fool. When did anyone from a big guild ever sell stuff? They only buy.”


    “You’re the fool, can you get so many elite crowns by yourself? Our professional team only managed to kill one elite monster after half a day.”


    “You’re as ignorant as a monkey from that isted ind”


    As the yers discussed, more and more people gathered in front of Li Yao’s stall, but not a single item was sold, either they didn’t have enough money to buy or they wanted to bargain, and Li Yao ignored them all.


    But Li Yao wasn’t worried at all. While he was setting up his stall, he also shouted in the trade channel, believing rich people woulde soon.


    As expected, seeing the message, a rich yer came over immediately.


    “I’ll take this shield, but I don’t have that many silver coins, do you ept credit?” said Never Short of Money.


    Li Yao immediately recognized the ck yer in front of him, Never Short of Money. Rumor had it that he was the son of a chieftain from an African capital, a famous rich yer. His abilities were average, but he had +13 epic equipment on him, even standing still he wouldn’t be killed, he is the fighter among the rich.


    “Of course, give me a price.” Li Yao said, in fact, the early game equipment basically can’t sell for a high price. After experiencing a lot of games, yers have regained their sanity. The kind of dummy who spent tens of thousands to buy a level 2 or 3 equipment has long disappeared. Moreover, in this splendid era, based on intelligence, there are no dummies in this world.


    “500 credits.” Never Short of Money said, although he’s rich, he doesn’t waste money.


    “Ordinary green equipment for 500 credits is a lot, but this is a shield.” A white yer squeezed in and said, “Defensive equipment is always the most expensive, especially now that everyone is pioneering challenge specialization. How about selling it to me for 600, I am the vice president of the Caesar Guild, let’s be friends.”


    Never Short of Money said without changing his face, “700.”


    “It seems that you do not give Caesar Guild face, 800.”


    “Fair deal, why should I give you face, 1000.”


    “It’s a pity, such a good shield, but it’s not worth this price.”


    Li Yao smiled and gave him his ount number. After a minute, Li Yao received a notification of credits arriving: “Thank you for your patronage.”


    “You’re wee, let’s add friends and if you have good defense equipment avable in the future, contact me, I’ll definitely give you a satisfactory price.” Never Short of Money sent a friend request.


    In Li Yao’s Starfire friend panel, Never Short of Money’s name had been added.


    The crowd was in a uproar, a green shield was sold for a thousand credits. It should be known that ordinary people could only earn three or four thousand credits a month, a green equip sold for a thousand, which truly made ordinary people envious…
