Chapter 12: The School Beauty Got Rammed by a Pig
After seeing Zhou Han nod, Han Xiangning felt both happy and afraid.
She was happy because she was no longer just a freeloader,
and could finally contribute something useful to the team.
She was afraid because the Armored Boars were very strong and numerous.
At a glance, they were not easy to deal with—if anything went wrong, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"Don't worry, with me here, nothing will happen to you!"
As if noticing her concerns,
Zhou Han gently stroked her soft hair, giving her courage.
Now that the two sisters had nearly 1,000 HP each, their survivability had greatly increased.
Even if something dangerous happened in the end, Zhou Han would still be there to protect them.
Of course, Zhou Han could have pulled the monsters himself, but he had his own considerations.
First, he wanted to train the sisters' combat awareness.
At the very least, their courage needed to be strengthened.
Only by experiencing more could they adapt to this dangerous world and truly grow.
Second, as the team's main damage dealer,
he needed to conserve his stamina in case of unexpected situations.
Zhou Han hid behind a large tree and nodded at Han Xiangning, signaling that he was ready.
At that moment, Han Xiangning picked up two stones from the ground and threw them at the [Armored Boars].
Although their defense was thick and they didn't feel pain,
they were still provoked—especially by a low-level human.
They immediately responded.
The five closest Armored Boars launched a savage charge.
"Ah—!"
"Zhou Han, hurry and attack them!"
Seeing this, Han Xiangning screamed in fear and quickly turned to run.
Fortunately, she was slightly faster than the boars, so they couldn't catch up.
"Don't panic, I'm making my move!"
Zhou Han reassured her.
He stepped out from behind the tree and unleashed a barrage of attacks on the Armored Boars.
Clang, clang…
As soon as the sword energy triggered, the Armored Boars collapsed one after another.
Zhou Han clapped his hands,
easily finishing the battle.
After a few more rounds, Han Xiangning became more and more skilled,
pulling in larger groups of Armored Boars each time.
Sure enough, once given the chance to train, she improved rapidly.
Soon, more than half of the hundred-plus Armored Boars had been cleared.
Zhou Han was very satisfied—he could now call Han Xiangning a "monster-pulling expert."
With both sisters contributing, their efficiency in farming monsters would increase significantly.
Hmm? Something's not right?
"Xiangning, get back here now!"
With her keen eyesight, Han Qinxue noticed something unusual and immediately warned her.
At that moment, Han Xiangning was too immersed in pulling monsters to notice the approaching danger.
From the grass nearby, a much larger wild boar, glowing with a silver light, rushed out.
It looked similar to the Armored Boars but was far stronger.
It charged straight at Han Xiangning, moving even faster than her.
After seeing the monster's stats, Zhou Han rushed over immediately.
[Silver Armored Boar]
Grade: Bronze
Level: 10
HP: 700
Attack: 200
Defense: 100
Skill: [Rage Attack: Deals 2.2x attack damage. Cooldown: 30 seconds.]
Description: The leader of the Armored Boars, possessing great strength.
It was a Bronze-tier monster, far beyond ordinary ones.
Its Rage Attack could instantly deal 440 damage.
Even with Han Xiangning's nearly 1,000 HP,
she couldn't withstand many hits—this was extremely dangerous.
At that moment, Han Xiangning was rammed by the Silver Armored Boar and sent flying three meters away.
440 damage.
"It hurts so much! It's charging again!"
"Zhou Han, save me!"
Seeing the boar preparing another attack, Han Xiangning cried out in panic.
"Don't panic, get behind me!"
In that critical moment, Zhou Han stepped forward and stood in front of her.
The Silver Armored Boar's eyes burned with rage.
It had only been gone for a short while,
and its subordinates had nearly been wiped out.
"Huff, huff…"
The Silver Armored Boar roared angrily, determined to tear the human before it apart.
Miss,
Miss.
Its two consecutive attacks were both dodged.
Even Zhou Han couldn't help but marvel—his 20% dodge chance had triggered twice in a row.
"Die, you beast!"
Facing the charging boar, Zhou Han showed no fear.
He raised his iron sword and slashed downward.
One strike, two strikes…
Soon, the poison effect was triggered.
After silently counting a few seconds, the Silver Armored Boar collapsed with a loud crash.
[You have successfully reached Level 4 and gained 40 enhancement points.]
As expected, killing higher-level monsters granted more experience.
Zhou Han checked his enhancement points—he had accumulated over 500, which made him quite pleased.
Hmm? It dropped equipment?
Nice!
[Mystic Radiance Robe]
Grade: Bronze
Attributes: Defense +3, HP +10
Description: Handcrafted, with average defense.
Damn!
There's also a sword!
This drop is insane!
Two pieces of equipment at once.
As expected, luck balances out.
After clearing hundreds of monsters earlier without any drops,
now he got two in one go.
I wonder what quality this sword is.
He picked it up to check.
[Refined Iron Sword]
Grade: Bronze
Attributes: Attack +3, Crit Rate +1%
Description: Forged from refined iron, nothing special.
Both are Bronze-grade equipment. Although the base stats were mediocre,
it didn't matter—Zhou Han had infinite enhancement.
The enhancement limit for Bronze gear increased to three times.
After enhancing three times, the stats would definitely become terrifying.
Zhou Han felt a bit excited.
"Enhance the Mystic Radiance Robe three times."
[You activated Talent: Infinite Enhancement. Enhancement successful. Please check the attributes.]
[Mystic Radiance Robe +3]
Grade: Bronze
Attributes: Defense +80, HP +500
Effect 1: When HP is below 100%, recover 500 HP per second.
Effect 2: 40% chance to dodge normal attacks.
Description: Once ordinary gear, now a powerful protection.
After seeing it, Zhou Han was delighted. Both defense and HP had increased massively.
The healing had improved, and the dodge rate had risen to 40%.
Next, Zhou Han spent 222 points to enhance the Refined Iron Sword three times.
[Refined Iron Sword +3]
Grade: Bronze
Attributes: Attack +200, Crit Rate +6%
Effect 1: Each normal attack deals an additional 200 fire damage and guarantees the target enters a burning state. While burning, the target loses (Target Defense × 2) HP per second for 10 seconds.
Effect 2: When the target's HP falls below 20%, there is a 10% chance to execute instantly.
Description: This sword has absolute suppression against high-defense targets.
After reading it, Zhou Han couldn't help but marvel at its power.
Once a critical hit triggered, damage would be tripled.
Whether normal attacks or skills, as long as a critical hit occurred, the bonus damage would stack.
Effect 1 burned through armor, while Effect 2 provided an execution mechanic—both extremely powerful traits.
After sorting everything out, Han Xiangning's voice came from behind him.
"Zhou Han, thank you for saving me. That was really dangerous just now!"
Zhou Han turned around to look at her.
He was momentarily stunned.
After being attacked by the Silver Armored Boar, her clothes were torn to shreds.
Through the rips, a lot of skin was exposed.
He could even faintly see the lace edges of her bra, giving off a unique charm.
He hadn't expected Han Xiangning to be so well-endowed.
She had always worn loose school uniforms before, making it impossible to tell.
Now it was clear—her figure was quite impressive, comparable to her older sister Han Qinxue.
"Y-you… what are you looking at…"
Seeing Zhou Han staring without saying anything, she blushed and spoke shyly.
"Uh… I was just thinking, the school beauty actually got rammed by a pig, hahaha…"
Zhou Han quickly withdrew his gaze and made up an excuse.
But thinking about how she had been sent flying by the boar—it really was kind of funny.
Normally, Zhou Han wouldn't laugh unless he truly couldn't hold it in.
"You're so dead! That's so annoying! I'm in so much pain and you're still making fun of me!"
Han Xiangning pouted, rubbing her sore shoulder, her eyes filled with grievance.
Seriously, couldn't he at least comfort her a little?
