Unyielding Spirit
During the blessing period, your max HP and MP increase by 10%. Your DEF increases by 10. All your spiritual roots increase by 10.
…
After boosting all his attributes to 60, Xiaomao glanced at his catnap blessing.
It was still weak as the skill mastery was too low. Also, the spiritual roots were useless for Xiaomao at the moment as he hadn’t learned any spell yet.
Xiaomao ate more fish until it reached today’s cap. The mastery of Protein from Fish and Fish Gourmet rose to 11%.
It got harder to increase the mastery percentage. At this rate, it would take about three days and 1,800 fish to reach the next milestone.
‘I have two days left to exploit the 3-day buff. I need to increase my level as high as possible until then. If possible, I want to kill the gnoll boss and secure the dungeon core for that item.’
Xiaomao brandished his cleaver and rushed into the cave.
10 seconds later, Xiaomao ran into the group of 10 gnolls, which consisted of nine Dirty Gnolls and one elite gnoll.
Xiaomao didn’t hide this time. He menacingly stared at them and meowed..
“MUNYAAAA!!”
His cute voice echoed in the cave, causing the gnolls to stop patrolling. They looked around in confusion for a moment before one of them spotted Xiaomao.
GROWL!
They roared and charged toward the dungeon entrance. One of them pounced on the small catopus.
Xiaomao brought out a rock from his inventory and threw it into the large mouth of the gnoll. The rock whizzed in the air and smashed the front teeth!
The first gnoll whimpered and fell to the ground before it could reach Xiaomao. A big red number, 55, floated on its head, and its HP bar decreased by 16%.
Xiaomao hopped backward as he had no time to finish off the injured gnoll. The elite monster stomped at its comrade and swung down its club.
DONG
A wok appeared out of nowhere, and its smooth round bottom deflected the club. A red number, 1, floated out from Xiaomao’s head.
“SHIELD BASH, MUNYA!”
Although Xiaomao had no such skill, he replicated the basic skill that most warriors could use.
With 90 STR, Xiaomao’s strength surpassed the elite gnoll, who had the same stats as uncommon NFT character level 30. It bashed the large hyena-man backward and collided with other rushing gnolls.
The formation of the monsters crumbled. Six of ten fell on their butts, but four avoided the collision and flanked Xiaomao to the sides.
Using the same attack pattern, the four gnolls pounced at him at the same time.
Kiting the monsters, Xiaomao leaped backward.
BOOM
The four gnolls hit nothing, but they bashed each other. Four numbers, (1), appeared on their heads as they inflicted friendly-fire damage on their friends.
Xiaomao put the wok shield back into his inventory and hopped on the top of the nearest gnoll, who was still stunned by the crash. Like a butcher, he hacked at a dog-man’s neck.
SWUA!
150!
The increase in STR and DEX began to show results. Although the attack was not a critical strike, it was enough to decrease the level 22 Dirty Gnoll’s HP bar by half!
Xiaomao glanced at the red number. He clicked his tongue in frustration.
‘The level gap penalty is still applying to me. Unless I’m level 13, I can’t insta-kill these guys with normal attacks.’
As Xiaomao and the gnoll’s level difference was more than 10, a damage reduction penalty was applied to all Xiaomao’s attacks on the gnolls.
At first, Xiaomao’s attack dealt 50-70 damage or 190ish critical damage whenever he hit their vital organs. But now, a graze attack dealt 55 points while a vital strike inflicted 150.
The progress was there, but it wasn’t enough.
Xiaomao stopped daydreaming and hacked at the nape of the gnoll one more time.
Critical Hit!
420!
The second strike beheaded the gnoll, and the monster slowly dissipated into dust on the spot.
Xiaomao jumped back again, kiting the other 9 gnolls that had recovered from the confusion.
The elite gnoll rushed in front. Xiaomao brought out the wok shield and deflected the club attack.
DONG
One damage.
“SHIELD BASH, MUNYA!”
Again, Xiaomao repeated his previous actions. He pushed the elite gnoll to collide with the other pursuing gnolls.
Two managed to dodge the collision. They flanked Xiaomao and pounced on him at the same time.
He hopped backward.
BOOM
They head-butted each other and got stunned.
Once more, Xiaomao hopped on one of them and swung his cleaver.
Critical Hit!
420!
He killed it in one swing this time!
GROWL!
Hearing the barks and the roars, Xiaomao leaped away from the group, avoiding getting cornered.
However, he had already gotten out of the cave.
Noticing that he was on the open field, Xiaomao turned around and ran toward the nearest tree.
The elite gnoll relentlessly chased while the others followed after their leader.
Xiaomao hopped and climbed the five-meter tall oak, which stood out among the other trees in the forest.
The elite gnoll leaped up and grabbed a large branch while it held a club in his other hand. He barked and climbed the trees with one hand and two feet.
Xiaomao suddenly turned around and dropped onto the elite’s face.
And he inked the monster.
PUU
Blank ink got into the elite gnoll’s eyes, and its hand slipped off the branch.
Together with Xiaomao, they fell from the oak tree!
But Xiaomao put the cleaver below him, aligning the sharp part 90 degrees to the ground and sitting on top of the blunt edge, pointing at the head of the elite monster.
POEK
The gravity pulled them back to earth, and the cleaver sunk into the elite monster’s face. The sound of a machete hitting a coconut was similar to the noise that the cleaver and the gnoll’s skull produced.
55!
The elite gnoll’s HP bar slightly decreased by a tiny amount. Xiaomao glanced at it and estimated that its HP surpassed four digits in number.
‘Damn level penalty. It should have been at least 150.’
Xiaomao cursed at the game’s mechanic while he yanked out the cleaver from the gnoll’s head.
As the gnoll was laying on its back, Xiaomao noticed a golden opportunity. He hopped toward the lower part of the gnoll.
As the gnoll only wore light leather armor that lightly protected its heart and chest, the parts below were unprotected.
Xiaomao’s eyes shone as his tentacles held the cleaver like a baseball bat. He swung it horizontally, aiming at the “baseballs”.
SWUA!
The BALLS were lopped and sent to the sky. Red blood splattered and gushed like a foundation while the elite gnoll shrieked in pain.
DOUBLE CRITICAL!
900!
That was a big number!
Moreover, the elite gnoll’s HP bar was decreased by 90% in one hit!
“Eh?”
Even Xiaomao was surprised that the damage was too high. He stared at the HP bar of the gnoll in disbelief.
“How, munya?”
Although distracted, Xiaomao followed up with a downward chop and cut the groin of the dog-man, expanding the wound.
DOUBLE CRITICAL!
900!
“???”
The elite gnoll rolled its eyes upward and stopped moving. It dissipated into ashes.
Seeing that its captain had been slain, the other gnolls also shrieked in fright and withdrew into the cave with their tails tucking in between their legs.
Ding
<You have slain the elite monster, Clubber Level 30!>
<You have earned 225,000 EXP!>
Elite monsters usually rewarded players three to five times the normal amount of EXP upon death. Killing dungeon monsters added multipliers to the rewards as well.
Ding
<You have leveled up!>
As expected, it was enough for Xiaomao to reach level 11.
However, he was not interested in levels at the moment. He sorted the newest items to appear first on the list.
And the new looted items were highlighted.

.
The entire Hyen Set dropped from the elite gnoll, but Xiaomao only scoffed at them since he couldn’t use human gears.
Xiaomao put the clubber card in his encyclopedia book. There were still eight gnoll monster cards in this area that Xiaomao needed to trigger a collector’s bonus, but he couldn’t do it at the moment.
He checked his favorite item with a red name, which he had sold to Otto for 500k gold coins.
“Nyahahaha! You can’t steal the quest item from me, munya!”
Because of the elation and joy, Xiaomao forgot to check a hidden detail of his game character.
There was a title detail, which had appeared under his general status detail.
