Chapter 114 - Recruitment (2/2)

Wei Huo understood what humans were facing now that the time halt was over.

There was death everywhere!

However, the game creator had added Hell to the game. Even if a person died, they could still have a second life in Hell. This version of Hell was a little less cruel to humans.

Right at that moment, Wei Huo heard a wolf’s howl not far away. He immediately rushed in that direction and saw a Normal-ranked giant wolf chasing three young people around 16-17 years old.

Giant Chameleon Wolf, Male, Normal.

It was a furless giant wolf. Its skin was similar to a lizard’s skin, and it had the ability to change color. However, it looked like a giant wolf. Wei Huo could not imagine what had happened between its ancestors and a chameleon.

He thought about it and removed his black helmet. He wanted to interact with the three youths as a player. After all, he had to admit that the relationship between players and NPCs was much stronger than that between humans.

Besides, the black helmet was very precious. It was impossible to wear it every day when necessary, as it could be easily damaged.

After Wei Huo removed his helmet, a quest notification popped up.

“Kill the giant wolf and rescue the three young humans. After completing the mission, you can recruit the three young humans to serve you.”

It would not be hard to rescue them, but what about this follow-up quest?

Wei Huo was still observing the three young men. The color-changing wolf was about to catch up to them. However, at that moment, one of the young men turned around and charged toward the wolf. The wolf opened its bloody mouth and bit the young man.

The difference in strength between humans with a 3-Point Attack and normal wolves with a 30-Point Attack was obvious. However, an accident still happened.

At that critical moment, the young man’s speed suddenly increased. He wiped his bloody mouth and dodged the bite. He even slid under the giant wolf and stabbed it with the sharp wooden sword in his hand.

Wei Huo was a little surprised. The young man’s speed and strength had improved greatly within a short time. Through the Character Menu, Wei Huo saw some unnecessary information.

Xiao Bin, 16 years old, Normal, Hero Mode.

Wei Huo was familiar with the Hero Mode. It was a mode that had been updated through the Legendary Mode previously. It seemed like anyone who had these two modes was not ordinary. However, the Legendary Mode should be more powerful. After all, there were only five people in the world who had it. It was said that they had to lead the world.

Wei Huo did not know what the two modes looked like or what they were used for. He immediately understood the function of the Hero Mode that day.

In times of crisis, one could trigger one’s potential and improve one’s physical qualities. This was probably what the Hero Mode was about.

However, the Hero Mode was not invincible. Although Xiao Bin’s wooden sword stabbed forward, it was dodged by the agile giant wolf. Immediately, the giant wolf turned around and opened its bloody mouth to bite him again. He could not escape this time no matter what he did.

At that moment, an arrow pierced the air and penetrated the wolf’s head, nailing it onto a huge tree.

That arrow had been shot by Wei Huo. According to the quest, wasn’t he supposed to rescue these young people first? Another quest appeared after Wei Huo saved them.

“If you hand over Xiao Bin’s second-year notes, you can recruit him. Spend 1,000 Magical Stones to skip the quest and recruit him directly.”

“If you find Lu Ren’s shameful notes and hand them over to him, you can recruit him. You can skip the quest with 500 Magical Stones.”

“If you find Long Tao’s toy and return it to him, you can recruit him. You can skip the quest with 500 Magical Stones.”

Wei Huo was speechless.

Middle-grade notebooks, embarrassing notes, and toys? What are all these things? Are you sure this is a recruitment and not blackmail?
