Bugged From the Start: I Spawned as a Parasite

Chapter 4 – Wild Wolf Leader

At noon, Ning Xiang and his friends brought Chen Yuan a new Star Domain helmet.

They initially wanted to invite Chen Yuan to join them for a meal, but Chen Yuan's host, the Wild Wolf, had just leveled up to an elite, and he was deeply engrossed in the game.

The group decisively turned into delivery runners, bringing food for Chen Yuan.

However, they were used to Chen Yuan staying at home and not going out, and no one would have guessed that he was playing games at home.

Chen Yuan examined the new helmet. In terms of both appearance and material, it was far superior to his old, shabby one.

He tried on the new helmet.

"Welcome to Star Domain. The game will officially launch in 18 hours, 35 minutes, and 20 seconds. Please be patient!"

A pleasant electronic voice echoed in his mind, and the scene in his head was an endless sea of stars.

No matter where he looked, there was no end in sight.

"So it really launches tomorrow," Chen Yuan muttered, taking off the helmet.

Then he put on the old helmet and entered the game again.

He now realized that not only was this helmet ugly, but it also had a bad attitude.

He had entered and exited the game so many times, yet he had never heard it say welcome.

In the game, the Elite Wild Wolf was still standing in place. Chen Yuan shook his head, realizing that the rank upgrade hadn't improved its intelligence.

From noon to afternoon, from afternoon to evening.

Although the Wild Wolf's intelligence hadn't improved, its speed at killing monsters had greatly increased.

He didn't even know how many hundreds of monsters he had slain.

Chen Yuan checked his all attributes: 0.862!

Alright, he had killed a total of 581 monsters.

He was getting closer and closer to an all attributes score of 1.

The Elite Wild Wolf had also leveled up from level 1 to level 5.

The attributes of the Elite Wild Wolf made Chen Yuan envious, turning envy into strength.

He couldn't help but take another bite at the Wild Wolf.

If I'm not having a good time, neither should you, you little wolf cub.

But then he heard the system notification.

[Ding] "System: I've seen weaklings, but this is the first time I've seen one as dumb as you. You've attacked a thousand times without breaking its defense! Don't you know to pick on something uglier than you?"

[Ding] "System: Congratulations, you've earned the title 'Devout Believer.' Without firm faith, who could stand unyielding under a thousand blows? You truly deserve this title."

Chen Yuan looked at the system notification, his face full of confusion.

Damn it, is this system praising or insulting me?

He couldn't help but want to curse the game writers, damn!

[Ding] "System: Congratulations, you've received the reward 'Hand of Faith.' The reward has been directly placed in your storage backpack, please check it."

Chen Yuan opened his storage backpack, and it was no longer empty.

In the first slot of the backpack lay a pitch-black hand, so ugly it could rival Chen Yuan's Parasite.

[Item]: Hand of Faith

[Status]: Bound (Non-tradable, Non-droppable)

[Quality]: None

[Level]: None

[Additional Attributes]: None

[Equipment Requirement Attributes]: None

[Equipment Requirement Profession]: None

Chen Yuan's eyes widened. What is this? What the hell is this!

Everything is none, not a single attribute. What does this reward even mean?

Are you kidding me??

He was about to be driven mad by this bizarre game. After finally getting a reward, it turned out to be such garbage.

Just as Chen Yuan was about to leave the interface, he suddenly noticed a line of small text beneath the Hand of Faith.

The color of the small text was so similar to the background that Chen Yuan hadn't noticed it at first.

[Additional Trait] "Fool's Privilege: The God of War says, one weapon is enough, only fools wield two. Remember, you're not the God of War, you're just a fool. Therefore, you have the privilege to equip an extra weapon!"

Chen Yuan looked at this line of small text, utterly speechless about the game.

But then he thought of the description of this additional trait and quickly opened the Parasite's attribute panel.

Upon seeing it, tears welled up in his eyes!

He finally had an equipment slot.

Now, he no longer had to worry about not having enough damage to kill monsters.

Not having a weapon now didn't matter; once the game officially launched tomorrow, he could just buy one.

"When the time comes, I'll buy a divine weapon and see what monster I can't cut down."

The game hadn't even officially launched, and Chen Yuan was already daydreaming, as if divine weapons were something he could just buy at will.

As for the description of "Fool's Privilege," Chen Yuan didn't care at all. After experiencing failure thousands of times, what's a little foolishness?

But he still wanted to say to the game writers: My character may not be human, but you're really a dog!

Having obtained such a good thing, naturally, he had to celebrate.

So, the wild monsters within an eight-hundred-mile radius around Chen Yuan's host all suffered.

***

[Ding] "System: Your host has defeated the opponent. As a Parasite, your all attributes have become 0.912."

[Ding] "System: Congratulations, your host's quality has improved. As a Parasite, your all attributes have become 1.412."

It was truly a double blessing. Chen Yuan hadn't expected that after just obtaining a divine item, the foolish Wild Wolf's quality would improve.

Moreover, it rewarded him with 0.5 in all attributes, finally breaking the 1 mark.

He opened his personal attributes.

Looking at the all attributes of 1.412, Chen Yuan was thrilled. His attributes were finally normal.

Although he didn't understand the game's logic, why all attributes were the same and why other attributes didn't increase with the four main attributes, he couldn't find anyone to discuss this issue with, so he let it go.

[Ding] "You attacked the target, causing 0 damage. Unfortunately, you couldn't break its defense."

Chen Yuan tried again, and indeed, he still couldn't break the defense!

Although he had become stronger, the Wild Wolf was even stronger!

[Name]: Wild Wolf Leader ★★★

[Quality]: Bronze

[Level]: 1

[Aptitude]: D

[Health Points]: 110/110

[Physical Attack]: 22

[Physical Defense]: 10

[Skill Two] "Summon Level 1 (0/10): Summons a regular Wild Wolf to assist in battle, lasting 20 seconds, with a cooldown of 600 seconds."

[Talent One] "Overwhelming Physique Level 1 (0/10): In battle, recovers 1 Health Point every 10 seconds. After exiting battle, recovers all lost Health Points within 60 seconds."

[Talent Two] "Bloodthirst Level 1 (0/10): Each attack increases its own attack power by 1, up to a maximum increase of 3, with the increased attack power disappearing after 10 seconds."

[Description]: A terrifying leader monster. Don't look at its aptitude, look at its skills!! Quickly find someone to kill it.

The Elite Wild Wolf had transformed into the Wild Wolf Leader and gained two additional skills.

It also gained a new quality, Bronze quality.

Chen Yuan guessed that only after becoming a leader monster would the game start distinguishing monster qualities.
