Xie Feng did not hesitate to agree and said: "Okay, I'll do my best."

The mysterious old man from the potion store, Xiao Lei, nodded slightly and closed his eyes again seemingly undisturbed by the world.

Seeing this old man's attitude, Xie Feng shook his head helplessly and turned to leave the store.

After leaving the potion store, Xie Feng went to the general store and sold all the items that were not needed and were simply piling up in the inventory.

The players' inventory has only 50 slots, items such as potions or herbs of the same type can be stacked in a single slot to form groups of 100. However, items such as armor, swords, bows, daggers, wands, scepters, etc: cannot be stacked and each item takes 1 slot.

In brief, a player can only have 50 items in their inventory at this stage of the game. Naturally, this changes when the player arrives in the main city where he/she officially begins his/her journey in this vast world.

Xie Feng went through the same places he was already familiar with: harmless rabbits, wild dogs, wild sheep, wild boars, wolves and finally arrived at his destination.

After hiding behind a tree, Xie Feng used his basic skill to 'inspect' one of the monsters in the area:

[Dark Tiger]

Level: 7

HP: 350

[Note: It originally was a tiger that did not attack humans, however, after being slightly corroded by the dark mana liberated by the Moon Devil clan it became more aggressive and powerful.]

(Skills):

[Laceration: when attacking with its claw it causes a loss of 15 HP points per second during 5 seconds.

Vicious bite: biting with its strong jaw causes a loss of 20 HP points per second during 5 seconds.]

Xie Feng realized that at this stage of the game where the maximum level is probably level 3, the number of players who can face this Dark Tiger is definitely no more than a few hundred.

Hundreds of players may seem like a lot but, considering that China has over 1.5 BILLION inhabitants, a few hundred is nothing to speak of.

After circling the area slightly to avoid too much trouble, Xie Feng started looking for the 'Spotted Lotus' herb that Xiao Lei entrusted him with.

__________

Due to the time limit of 1 day, Xie Feng thought it would be easy to obtain. However, he could not be further from the truth.

Xie Feng looked at the time and saw that it was already 7 pm. Only now did he realize that he searching for the mission grass for almost 3 hours, but still couldn't find it.

During all this time, Xie Feng had no choice but to kill many dark tigers that got in his way, so his level naturally increased.

[Player: Shiva]

Level: 4

Battle zone: China

VIT: 12

STR: 9

AGI: 4

INT: 20

Luck: 10

Charm: 20

As he increased his intelligence by 5 more points, his magic attack power reached 190 base points.

Xie Feng went from level 3 to level 4 over 1 hour ago, however his experience bar now increases at a snail's pace. He doesn't even want to think about how long it will take normal players to level up.

Although the Ring of the God of Destruction decreases the received experience by half, Xie Feng is killing monsters 4-5 levels higher than his: therefore, the experience he gets is naturally higher than players who kill monsters of their levels.

Xie Feng continued to look for the grass while killing dark tigers for another hour.

Unfortunately, no matter how hard he looked, he could not find it.

Xie Feng made sure to look even among the branches of fallen trees, but he still could not find the Spotted Lotus grass.

8:15 p.m.

Seeing the current time, Xie Feng decided to disconnect for today. He still has to take a shower, have dinner with Xie Yao and go to bed early because he has to go and register at University of Shanghai in the morning.

Although but of 80-90% of the players probably it is not worried to sleep because the system of Samsara Online supplants the human dream to 70%, that 30% remaining accumulated mental fatigue.

Therefore, Xie Feng still prefers to sleep normally.

Besides, just a few hours ago he told Xie Yao that he would definitely go out for dinner before 10 pm.

However, just when Xie Feng was thinking about logging off and continuing his quest tomorrow after completing the necessary paperwork at the university, he saw something out of the corner of his eye that made him stop.

On one side, from inside a cave about 30 meters from the place where Xie Feng was currently, a monster slowly came out and lay down on the ground. After lying down, the monster began to move around as if something was bothering it.

Xie Feng bent down and used the skill to 'inspect' on the monster that had just come out of the cave:

[Demon Tiger: BOSS]

Level: 10

Grade: Lord BOSS

HP: 7000

Note: Leader of its class and completely corrupted by demonic power. Attack in sight]

(Skills):

Demonic Bullet: ???? Use rate: ????

Demonic Roar: ???? Use rate: ????

Demonic Ray: ???? Use rate: ????

[Ding!...Your inspection skill is too basic to see more information about the skills of a Lord grade BOSS.]

Xie Feng could not help but breathe deep air when he saw the status window of the monster that came out of a cave. He was absolutely certain that he had entered that cave previously and that tiger was not inside.

The only thing that occurred to Xie Feng were two possibilities:

1) For some reason the Lord BOSS left the cave and returned shortly after Xie Feng left.

2) Inside the cave there is a hidden passage and the Lord BOSS was sleeping inside.

Be that as it may, Xie Feng hid behind a giant rock that was nearby and watched the monster closely.

The Demon Tiger was almost six feet tall, its fur was purple and its eyes were deep blue. Xie Feng also noticed that a weak white ray blinked from time to time around the beast.

Although Xie Feng was self-confident, he was not an arrogant idiot. He was very clear that depending on the skills of Lord BOSS and his characteristics, this fight would be very difficult.

Because the inspection skill given by the system to all players in the world is too simple, it has many limitations: as the system just indicated.

The inspection skill is not only limited to monsters no more than 10 levels higher than the player, but it is also limited by the grade of the monster.

Unfortunately, Xie Feng has no way of knowing the characteristics of the Demon Tiger's abilities, so he must be very careful with his next action.

Xie Feng observed the monster Lord BOSS for a few minutes but could not deduce much, other than an approximation of its movement speed and basic movement habits.

Identifying the habits of movement in such a short time is definitely not something that anyone can do.

Xie Feng looked at his HP points:

[HP: 360.]

(A/N: Remember that Xie Feng is now level 4 and for each level he gets 10 points of HP. You can confirm this in s).

After forming a brief battle plan in his head and simulating various possibilities of the type of skill Lord BOSS possesses from the names, Xie Feng came out of hiding and ran to the Demon Tiger without any hesitation.
