My Wife Is The Big Boss

Chapter 2: Even NPCs Have to Kill Monsters

Fang Leng didn't know whether he should consider himself a player or an NPC. Other NPCs shouldn't have a system, but since players haven't entered the game yet, he still has the setting of a villager. So, he should be considered an NPC! And according to the setting, an NPC dies for real after one death.

Fang Leng couldn't help but sigh. If he had known this would happen, why did he agree in the first place? Why didn't NPCs have any rights?

In the evening, the old village chief found Fang Leng with a smile on his face and said happily, "Xiao Fang, I've arranged everything for you today. Are you happy?"

Fang Leng looked confused and asked, "What happened?"

"The marriage proposal to Cuihua's family. Cuihua has agreed. When are you going to prepare the betrothal gifts? Ning'er is a good girl, don't mistreat her!"

What the f*ck!

I was dumbfounded for a few seconds. You found me a wife?

And such a good thing...

Ahem, what the hell? This doesn't seem like a good thing at all. Just based on the name Cuihua and the appearance of that little Ning, I can't guarantee anything.

Fang Leng immediately said firmly, "As long as the Monster Race is not exterminated, how can we have a peaceful home!"

The old village chief was taken aback by Fang Leng's words and then suddenly patted Fang Leng's head with a smile, saying, "What nonsense are you talking about? The monsters are not our enemies!"

Fang Leng had never thought that he would see such complex emotions from an NPC. Obviously, this old village chief had a story.

Fang Leng suddenly found it amusing. Can an NPC really have emotions? They are just a bunch of pre-set data.

However, looking at the old village chief's gaze, Fang Leng couldn't just treat him as data.

But Fang Leng remembered that when he was setting up the characters in the newbie village, he didn't give anyone this much drama! Fang Leng shook his head, dispelling these thoughts, and continued with what he had just said, "Those who are not of our kind will have different hearts. The Monster Race will eventually become our enemy."

The old village chief's gaze became even deeper upon hearing this. After a long while, he sighed and said, "Indeed, you are an educated person. By the way, Cuihua gave me a chicken and said it's for you to replenish your body. I'm an old man and can't move much, so it's up to you!"

The old village chief's way of changing the subject was quite stiff, but Fang Leng didn't expose it. He suddenly thought of Huang Damao, whom he had seen during the day. Since there shouldn't be many people in the newbie village raising chickens, he asked, "The Cuihua you mentioned, is her last name Huang?"

"Yes, why? Don't you recognize Huang Damao?"

Fang Leng: "..."

Indeed, it was Huang Damao, who showed him fresh chicken droppings. Fang Leng couldn't help but imagine her appearance with all that wobbling fat and shivered.

I strongly oppose this marriage!

Therefore, when Fang Leng saw the hen with its wings and feet tied up, he didn't feel like doing anything. It's hard to bite the hand that feeds you. Let's not eat chicken tonight...

However, when Fang Leng saw the LV1 on top of the hen's head, he suddenly had a bold idea. He picked up a kitchen knife and made a strike. It dealt a critical hit of 99 damage, but unfortunately, it didn't drop a legendary dragon-slaying sword.

But Fang Leng was still ecstatic. He saw the prompt of +1 experience and an experience bar appeared in front of him.

Although the experience was small and the progress was terrifyingly low, it meant that Fang Leng could gain experience by killing monsters. And he was already level 10, so it was normal to only get a tiny bit of experience from killing an LV1 monster.

So, what if he went to the wilderness to grind monsters and level up?

Once this thought arose, it was difficult to suppress.

If he could grind monsters and level up, Fang Leng could make himself stronger. In the future, even if the Monster Race invaded, he would have some self-defense capabilities.

Fang Leng couldn't wait to break free from the shackles. Tonight, he would go... emmmm...

Still, I'll endure it for now and cook the chicken first. Good luck, tonight we eat chicken.

Although it is said that a gentleman stays away from the kitchen, Fang Leng himself is not particular about it. After seeing off the old village chief, Fang Leng waited until late at night before taking a kitchen knife and heading to the outskirts. His heart is a bit complicated now. On one hand, the sudden appearance of the interface made him realize that this should be a game. But the other NPCs all feel like real people.

Subconsciously, he plays the role of himself, just like the well-known Fang Xiucai.

If a scholar runs around with a kitchen knife late at night, his character will collapse, so he quietly leaves the village without causing a commotion.

According to the settings, the wild monsters near the newbie village will not exceed level ten, and Fang Leng is already level ten, so running to the wilderness at night is not considered reckless.

However, Fang Leng doesn't rely on his high level to recklessly venture. Once he reaches the outskirts of the village, he becomes cautious. What if the monsters in this wilderness don't follow the settings?

Not long after, Fang Leng sees a group of wild rabbits, all at level 2. Judging from their posture, it seems like they are planning to cause trouble in the village?

Seeing that it's harmless rabbits, Fang Leng decides to practice his skills. However, these rabbits seem to have lost their minds. Instead of running away when they see Fang Leng, they aggressively try to bite him.

Fang Leng is scared and almost drops his knife. He can't believe that these seemingly harmless rabbits are so aggressive!

Fang Leng quickly decides to retreat, but those rabbits are much faster than him. They swarm and jump on him, biting his clothes.

Fang Leng's clothes are made of fabric and seem to have no defense, but when those rabbits bite him, a bunch of "ineffective attack" prompts flash before his eyes.

Haha, these rabbits can't break through his defense!

Originally panicked, Fang Leng suddenly laughs out loud. Hey, thirty seconds for the rabbits, thirty seconds for Fang Leng. Don't underestimate a scholar!

Fang Leng swings his knife, one rabbit at a time. He doesn't know how long he has been killing, but the "+2 experience" prompt keeps appearing until there are no more live rabbits around him.

Fang Leng finally sees his experience bar, which is at 2% progress.

Although this progress is slow, it gives Fang Leng great confidence. As long as he continues to level up, he will eventually succeed!

And because he killed low-level monsters, the experience gained is low, so leveling up is slow. In the future, when he fights higher-level monsters, he should gain more experience.

However, Fang Leng looks around and sees rabbit corpses everywhere, which makes him feel a bit uncomfortable.

How can he kill such cute rabbits!

Moreover, the corpses of the rabbits he killed haven't respawned, and he doesn't know what's going on.

Fang Leng doesn't care and continues to focus on leveling up. Time is precious.

Because of the previous rabbits, Fang Leng's courage has grown a little.

He is level 10, and in this newbie village, he can walk sideways!

Fang Leng feels a bit inflated.

The moonlight is bright, and Fang Leng walks further and further away from the village. He even hopes to encounter another group of low-level monsters to kill!

And these monsters are so stupid, they don't know how to run away even when they can't win.

Suddenly, Fang Leng sees a wild boar with shining words above its head, LV5.

Level 5 boss?

Can it drop equipment?
