Online Game: Hundredfold Reward Summoner

First Kill of a Black Iron Boss

Chapter 9

First Kill of a Black Iron Boss

In just a short span of tens of minutes, his level had risen to Level 4, with only 85% experience left to reach Level 5. Shen Feng was quite pleased.
Reaching Level 5 would unlock an additional skill slot. Although he didn't have a skill book yet, he could return to learn a basic skill then. With the help of the Hundredfold Reward, it would at least become a Bronze-grade summoning skill.
A Summoner didn't need equipment as much as a powerful summoning skill.
Seeing the Wasteland Wild Wolves continue to charge, Shen Feng kept commanding his two large summoned beasts to attack while he stood in the back casting basic magic spells. Before long, another Wasteland Wild Wolf was slain.
This was the advantage of being a Summoner. As long as one's summoned beasts were powerful, the player only needed to stand in the back and casually cast spells.
Not long after, all the Wasteland Wild Wolves nearby were completely wiped out.
Unwittingly, under the boost of the Hundredfold Reward, his level rose to Level 6.
At this point, continuing to fight Level 6 Wasteland Wild Wolves would no longer grant bonus experience. (Slaying monsters above one's level granted extra experience).
Shen Feng wanted to quickly reach Level 10 to change to his hidden class, so he decided to clear the surrounding small monsters while moving toward the edge of the map, then head to the next leveling spot.
"It would be great if I could encounter a Boss."
According to the description of his Inspection skill, there should be a Boss here, though he didn't know if he would run into it.
Shen Feng muttered to himself and continued walking toward the wasteland. Along the way, he eliminated any Wasteland Wild Wolf he encountered.
Just as Shen Feng killed another Wasteland Wild Wolf, the wolf let out a sudden wail before dying.
The wail carried far across the plain, and from a small hill on the wasteland, an even clearer response suddenly echoed back.
"Awoo..."
Shen Feng stopped and looked ahead. He saw a massive wild wolf appear on the horizon, twice the size of the other Wasteland Wild Wolves. Its fur was much thicker, and it charged toward Shen Feng with immense fury.
"Hmm? Could it be a Boss?"
Shen Feng focused his gaze on the approaching giant wild wolf and cast his Inspection skill from afar. A smile immediately appeared on his face.

[Wasteland Wild Wolf King (Black Iron Grade Boss)]
Level: Level 7
HP: 1,800
Attack: 120
Defense: 10
Skills: Frenzied Bite, Giant Wolf Ambush, Wolf Claw, Wolf King Roar.
Description: The King of the Wolves on the plain. It frequently hunts livestock from the village. Its combat power is extremely formidable, and it rarely appears.

"It really is a Boss!"
Shen Feng was overjoyed.
Almost all first kills of Bosses dropped a large number of items. The more times a Boss was killed later on, the lower the drop rate of equipment became.
Initially, a Black Iron-grade Boss would at most drop Black Iron-grade equipment, which Shen Feng didn't care much about, as it was basically just temporary gear.
However, with the Hundredfold Reward, Black Iron-grade equipment could be boosted to at least Silver-grade. Furthermore, server-wide first kills of Bosses of any rank came with system announcements and rich rewards, which Shen Feng naturally couldn't pass up. (Black Iron-grade did not trigger announcements).
He felt that at the current stage, no other player could kill any Boss, as even a Black Iron-grade one would be extremely difficult to defeat.
Shen Feng then commanded his two large summoned beasts to charge at the Wasteland Wild Wolf King and attack it.
Shen Feng had allocated the four skill points he received from leveling up into the Lightning Spirit - Aurora Geleilin. Now, the Lightning Spirit - Aurora Geleilin had reached Level 6, unlocking its second skill, and its attack attributes had also increased significantly.
With two Bronze-grade summoned beasts fighting against a single Black Iron-grade Boss, Shen Feng still found the battle very easy.
Very quickly, the giant Wolf King and the Goblin Mecha clashed.
A massive wolf claw swiped fiercely at the Goblin Mecha, while the Goblin Mecha's massive spiked club struck heavily against the Wolf King's head.
Damage numbers popped up over both creatures' heads. Because the Goblin Mecha was still Level 5, it took relatively high damage due to the level suppression.
However, immediately after, a large amount of lightning from the Lightning Spirit - Aurora Geleilin struck the Wolf King's body, and five damage numbers popped up.
The Five-Fold Lightning Strike skill concentrated its damage when attacking a single target.

[Static Shock]
[Static Shock]
Finally, two attacks triggered the Static Shock damage. By rough calculation, the current Level 6 Static Shock damage could deal about 100 points of Light-attribute damage.
With so much damage popping up over the Wasteland Wild Wolf King's head, its health bar was instantly reduced by two-thirds.
The low-health Wasteland Wild Wolf King was also afflicted with the Static Shock debuff, with tiny arcs of electricity crackling across its body.
Sensing that things were going south, it felt a hint of retreat, its legs constantly backing away.
Shen Feng was not surprised to see this, as he knew that any Boss possessed a certain level of intelligence. The higher the level of the Boss, the higher its intelligence.
In his past life, some end-game Bosses were like supercomputers, with intelligence far exceeding that of humans. He didn't find it strange at all that this ordinary Black Iron Boss showed a fear of death.
However, Shen Feng would naturally not let this Wolf King escape.
Under Shen Feng's command, the Goblin Mecha's massive club had already swung, and luck was on his side as it triggered Heavy Strike.
A stun symbol appeared directly over the Wolf King's head. Seizing the opportunity, the Lightning Spirit - Aurora Geleilin continuously unleashed lightning.
In the final few strikes of thunder, the Wasteland Wild Wolf King let out a wail, and its massive body collapsed to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.
Following that, the system's reward prompt chimed...
"Ding! Congratulations on killing the Wasteland Wild Wolf King (Black Iron Grade). You have received 200 experience points. The Hundredfold Reward has been triggered! You have received 20,000 experience points."
A massive amount of experience flooded in, and Shen Feng leveled up once again.
"Ding! Congratulations, your level has increased to Level 7. You have received 5 free attribute points and 1 skill point. Please distribute them wisely."
After the level-up prompt, the Boss kill reward prompt also rang out.
"Ding! Because you are the first player in the entire server to kill a Black Iron-grade Boss, you receive an additional reward of 1 skill point. The Hundredfold Reward has been triggered! You have received an additional 100 skill points."
"Hiss..."
"One hundred skill points!"
Shen Feng still couldn't believe it. After all, to a Summoner, skill points were just as valuable as top-tier equipment.
