Ñ00v€l--ß1n hosted the premiere release of this chapter.
The retired Gold Rank Adventurer watched the whole fight with a dumbstruck expression on his face. The infamous Dire Wolf King was killed in a few moves. The wolf was famous for its freaking fast movement, people hardly could see its movement. Even the Dire Wolf King was getting cornered, it could always flee at the moment of danger.
However, the man handled the wolf easily. Canceling the Mana Shoot with mana axes, and predicted the Dire Wolf King's movement before he killed the beast with one twist to the neck.
'Just who is he?' A man this strong tried to start becoming an adventurer, 'A knight from the capital? Or Templar from the church?' The old man's thoughts wandered, trying to guess the man's identity.
'No, why would a knight or even a templar be in disguise as an adventurer? Even if they are in disguise, they will not show off their skill like this. The fighting style of the knight and templar are nowhere close to that man's, so who is he?'
While the old man's thoughts wandered around, the Dire Wolves scattered around in fear. The wolf's horde dispersed in a matter of seconds after the Dire Wolf King died.
Even though he felt regret that he could not get more money from their fur, Tang Shaoyang did not give chase.
He was about to drag the massive wolf but decided against it, afraid of damaging the fur. A Dire Wolf King's fur could be sold for a hefty price for sure.
'Ah, fortunately, I did not damage the head. It could be sold for decoration, it might be more expensive than selling the fur, or even more expensive than the bounty,' Tang Shaoyang got an idea regarding the head.
He carried the Dire Wolf King back to the village. The villagers' eyes locked on the massive wolf on top of him. The tense and gripping atmosphere had disappeared as a quiet atmosphere ensued.
"Is this how you capture the first two ladies' hearts?" Elin was not disturbed by Tang Shaoyang's bold words. He was basically telling her to sleep with him one night.
"Nope. The first was an accident while the second one, she just could not refuse my charm, I guess," Tang Shaoyang replied while chugging the mug to his lips.
"I see, an accident huh!?" Elin was wondering what kind of accident was that, but she did not ask. She changed the topic, like where he came from. While the two exchanged conversation, two ladies were eyeing them intensely. Liang Suyin and Delia were watching them intensely.
At the end of the party, Gu Yingjie and Fan Rui looked at their Boss who was flirting with the most beautiful lady in the village. Both were sharing a defeated look like none of the ladies interested in them, "Should we ask Boss to teach us how to pick a girl?" Gu Yingjie considered this option.
"Ah, we can't learn from him. Our Boss just has a natural charm that attracts the ladies. We can't be like our Boss," Fan Rui admitted that he was far inferior to their Boss.
"Guess you are right," Gu Yingjie nodded in agreement, "We can't be the main character just like our Boss," Fan Rui looked at his young friend. The guy would always speak with something he could not understand.
"You don't have to be like your Boss, but be yourself instead," Old Man Rick sat in the middle of the two and put his mug on the table.
Gu Yingjie's eyes brightened, "Can you teach us something, Elder?" The desperate young man asked the old man with a hopeful expression.
"Good, you are not that hopeless. You have a good look, just have not matured yet," the old man nodded and pulled the young guy closer, "First of all, lower your standard. I mean you can't use the same standard as your Boss. Lower your standard and look at your surroundings."
Gu Yingjie was confused by the old man, but Fan Rui immediately understood the old man's words. Yes, he was not his Boss, not as strong as him, not as charismatic as him. However, he kept looking at a woman with his Boss's standard while his value was much lower than his boss's. "Look at your surroundings!" Those words struck into his mind, and he looked at the surroundings. Sure enough, a few ladies were looking at their directions. Sure, they were not as pretty as Elin or Delia, but their looks were above average by Earth's standard.
"Second, you have to be confident. Approach the lady with confidence, not overbearingly like your boss!" At those words, Fan Rui immediately stood up with his mug. He scanned the surroundings before he approached a lone lady.
