Now that he had nothing on his hands, he had to obtain this huge reward first. He could use it to exchange for gold coins. One had to know that in Eternity, the ratio of real money to gold coins was 1:1.
Normally, a Novice Village’s mission would reward a few gold coins, in addition to that, gold coins could also be obtained through killing monsters. In total, a small mission could lead to dozens of gold coins.
He came before the village chief.
The village chief said, “Brave adventurer, the grain in the village is being eaten by mutated locusts. Can you help me kill them?”
[I can complete it. Don’t worry, village chief.]
[I can’t complete it. I’m leaving.]
[I don’t want to do this. I want to do something else to help the village.]
Looking at the three options, James Williams chose the third option.
[I don’t want to do this. I want to do something else to help the village.]
The village chief said, “Alright, brave adventurer. The village needs 200 mutated locust wings, 200 mad wild boar skin, and 200 red-eyed bull horns. If you complete these, you will be of great help to the village. We will also give you a generous reward.”
[I will help the village.]
[I can’t complete it.]
Seeing that the hidden mission had been triggered, James Williams’ eyes lit up and he made his choice.
[I will help the village.]
He then left the village chief.
He came to a teleportation door and walked in. He saw a large group of mutated locusts floating above the paddy field in the distance.
Looking at the locusts in front of him, James Williams began to use a skill to accumulate power and cast Voodoo Mist on the locusts.
His Voodoo Mist was a perfect counter to such a large-scale monster.
Feeling threatened, the mutated locusts began to attack. With such a large group, even if he was attacked by one locust at a time, James Williams would not be able to hold on for long. He needed to deal with them quickly.
Gold coin + 1
Gold coin + 1
…
Locusts fell from the sky one by one. Gold coins continued to shine from the locusts’ corpses and were added onto him.
Following that, his HP kept decreasing.

With a shooting sound, the kitten beside him also released its own skill, Energy Fluctuation, and flew towards the swarm of locusts. The moment it touched the swarm of locusts, its Energy Fluctuation skill emitted waves of water-like ripples.
The flying speed of the locusts was drastically reduced! Looking at the locusts whose speed had been reduced, James Williams was overjoyed. It turned out that the kitten’s skill could actually reduce the speed of the enemy.
Thus, he quickly moved his body and left the locusts’ attack range. He began to gather his strength so that he could cast Voodoo Mist again.
Following the overlapping damage of the two Voodoo Mist attacks, coupled with James Williams’ and the kitten’s attack, a large number of locusts’ corpses gradually fell to the ground.
It took James Williams nearly a minute to destroy these locusts. He hurriedly touched the locust corpses.
[Ding!]
[You have obtained spoils of war…]
[Ding!]
[You have obtained experience…]
[Ding!]
[You have leveled up to Level 2!]
Notifications rang out one after another.
After collecting these spoils of war, James Williams took a look. There were actually 325 locusts in this huge pile of locusts, which meant that he had completed the quest to kill the locusts.
Now, the paddy field was quiet and not a single locust was eating the grain.
The place that was provided for the players in the Novice Village to level up and fight monsters had been cleared out by him.
Without caring about anything else, James Williams looked at his backpack.
[Mutated locust wings: 325]
[Gold coins: 163]
[Level: Level 2]
Looking at the level 2 and a half experience points, if he were to complete the three hidden quests given by the village chief, he would be able to reach level 3.
Arriving at the second location, mad wild boars were madly rubbing their skin against the trees on the mountain.
[Mad wild boar: Health 240, agility 24, attack 26, defense 35]
James Williams saw that the wild boars’ movement speed was very high, so he did not release his skill immediately this time. He looked at the kitten beside him.
The kitten seemed to understand what its master wanted. It used the Energy Fluctuation skill to slow down the wild boars.
The wild boars that were attacked looked at the man and the cat and roared as they rushed over. However, the wild boars came into contact with the Energy Fluctuation skill and its movement speed was greatly reduced.
At this moment, James Williams had also finished charging up his skill. The Voodoo Mist slowly floated towards the wild boars.

The wild boars’ HP was rapidly decreasing.
The wild boars that rushed over also dealt some damages to James Williams. He did not replenish his HP after dealing with the locusts. In order to protect the kitten from damage, he endured it. Now, half of his HP was almost gone.
One must know that if he died, the resurrection time would take five hours.

– 33
His HP started to decrease rapidly. It seemed that he had underestimated the collective damage of these wild boars.
This was the weakness of wizards. They could not be attacked at close range as they were too fragile. Because of the eternal ring, his HP and all other attributes were considered top-notch.
Normally, wizards would usually team up to kill monsters. Although they would need to share the experience with their teammates, at least they would not die.
He could not wait any longer. James Williams had wanted to wait for more wild boars before he released his second skill. However, if he waited any longer, he would die here.
Voodoo Mist charged and released!
The two Voodoo Mists overlapped and the wild boars’ health dropped rapidly. One by one, the wild boars fell to the ground.
Suddenly, a beam of light fell on James Williams and his kitten. Both of them had leveled up, and their HP was replenished. They both now had full HP.
Energy Fluctuation was shot out again, trapping the wild boars. James Williams pulled away from the kitten and charged up his energy to attack the wild boars from a distance.

– 103
The herd of wild boars finally fell. James Williams let out a long breath. If he consumed too much health here, he would need to return to the village to buy blood bottles if he wanted to complete the red-eyed bull mission.
He quickly touched the wild boar corpse with his hand.
[Ding!]
[You have obtained a trophy…]
[Ding!]
[You have obtained experience…]
He opened his backpack and found 201 wild boar skins and 364 gold coins.
In just a short period of time, he had earned 364 USD.
In order to prevent the lack of HP when facing the red-eyed bull, James Williams could only return to the village to buy some potions first, just in case..
