The system indeed didn't lie; the probability of good items appearing during the event was indeed higher. Su Yao's first attack resulted in a personal skill drop.
The battle outside was not very intense yet; the hotel's automatic defense and attack systems were entirely sufficient.
Su Yao couldn't keep a secret; she cheerfully stepped back in to show off her newly acquired skill.
Name: Su Yao
Age: 35
Magic Level: 3/10 (Apprentice Mage)
My achievements: turning waste into treasure, cooperation, little miracle doctor, wishes come true, proficient in both farming and animal husbandry
Personal assets: equal to hotel funds
Number of card draws: 1
Personal Skill: 1. Shadowing: Circles around like a mosquito but cannot be caught. After use, it can follow a designated target without being caught. Each use lasts 30 seconds. Skill cooldown time is 5 minutes.
What a "shadow follows the form," the skill obtained from the mosquito is really as "disgusting" as the mosquito itself!
However, now that she possessed the skills, Su Yao would only feel exhilarated.
[Kill black mosquitoes *5, gain 500 experience.]
[Level 4 Beast: Swamp Monster Fish Attack, Please Be Alert!]
The hotel's protective shield had taken down the remaining black mosquitoes, but immediately, another kind of beast arrived.
A level-four beast, Su Yao had never fought one before. Now that she had acquired new skills, it was the perfect opportunity to give it a try.
This time, to familiarize herself with her skills, Su Yao deliberately didn't let the little snake or the inn play a role; she went in alone.
Fighting a level three against a level four is very difficult, with almost no chance of winning. However, with the skill of shadowing, Su Yao actually managed to take down the swamp monster fish.
Of course, during this period, Yaya played a significant role. Taking advantage of her small size, which made it difficult for the blind beasts to see her, she stayed by Su Yao's side, flying around and healing her at any moment.
[Defeated Swamp Monster Fish*1, gained 800 experience, obtained Cement Road (Fragment)*1.]
[Successfully defeated the first level-four beast. Congratulations to the host for obtaining Pet Evolution Liquid (Fragment) *1.]
[The first wave of attacks has ended. Congratulations to the host for successfully protecting the inn. Reward: 1 card draw.]
The first wave of attacks was more of a test, relatively easy. Su Yao went to ask the two people guarding the backyard, and they said there hadn't been any attacks from the rear so far.
Su Yao nodded, "The first wave of evil spirits and beasts didn't reach the backyard, but the second and third waves might. Please help guard it well. Here are seven bottles of hemostatic potion and three bottles of muscle-regenerating potion. If you get injured, just drink them directly."
The tale has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.
Su Yao stood guard in front, with Ya beside her providing treatment. They kept one or two bottles in reserve, and the rest could be used for these two people first.
"Don't worry, not to mention that a life-saving grace should be repaid with a gushing spring, but in the current situation, protecting the inn means protecting us inside the inn. We understand." With that, the woman didn't stand on ceremony, divided the potion with the man, and then put it away.
After confirming that there were no issues in the backyard, Su Yao returned to the front.
Immediately, the second wave of attacks arrived.
Last time, Su Yao wanted to go out and test her combat skills voluntarily, but this time she had no choice but to go out.
Because this group of beasts was clearly different, they moved together as a unit and possessed human intelligence, making them very troublesome.
A dense pack of five-clawed wolves surged towards the inn, attacking not only from the front and back but also from the sides. Some were even thrown onto the roof by their companions, attempting to launch an assault from above.
However, it was unlikely that an attack on the roof would succeed.
The thrown five-clawed wolves serve as a kind of impact attack, which can trigger the effect of the rebound shield. Therefore, they are usually bounced away as soon as they touch the protective barrier.
Su Yao swung her sword wildly, her wounds healing and reopening, over and over again. However, compared to the injuries sustained by the pack of five-clawed wolves, Su Yao's wounds were insignificant. In the battle, the inn still held the upper hand.
[Killed nine Level 4 Five-Clawed Wolves, gained 8500 experience, obtained 9 pieces of Five-Clawed Wolf meat, obtained 2 Five-Clawed Wolf claws.]
[Your comrade has killed Five-Clawed Wolf*13. Congratulations to the host for unlocking the "Shopkeeper and Guests are One Family" achievement. Inn experience +300.]
[Hotel experience reached 400. Due to the host's busy schedule, the system automatically deducted 300 for an upgrade. The next upgrade experience threshold is now 1000.]
[Hotel Name: Anxin Inn

[The hotel has added a new garage.]
[The five-clawed wolves were no match, and the leader had already led the retreat.]
The swamp monster fish swarm arrived; they were searching for the lost swamp monster fish prince.
They discovered the Little Prince's body, and they decided to attack the inn.
The pack of five-clawed wolves howled as they fled, quite literally "scared out of their wits."
And the pitch-black, slimy school of fish immediately surged towards the inn again, their density significantly higher than that of the five-clawed wolves from earlier.
Su Yao looked at the school of fish, excited.
She hadn't forgotten what the last fish had dropped.
That was concrete ground!
"To get rich, build roads first." This saying holds true in the Longyin Continent as well. If there were a smooth road that could pass through the Misty Forest, with inns along the way, and ideally a protective shield, she would surely rake in the gold!
[Congratulations to the host for triggering Sword Intent, attack power increased by +1000, duration 3 minutes.]
[The host uses the skill "Shadow Follows Form," with sword intent enhancement, the cooldown time is halved, and the next usage time is in 2 minutes and 30 seconds.]
The last time the sword intent was triggered was due to a threat to life, but this time the reason for triggering the sword intent was much simpler. Su Yao was truly motivated by the imagined wealth!
The swamp monster fish were not of a very high level, similar to the five-clawed wolf pack, but their form was like the swamp itself, shapeless and hard to target, making them more difficult to fight than the five-clawed wolves. Under the influence of sword intent, Su Yao and the others still spent over an hour to drive them back.
Moreover, because too much time had been wasted this time, as soon as they retreated, the next wave of attacks was about to follow immediately.
Su Yao collapsed on the ground, feeling somewhat exhausted. Fortunately, the strange fish had given her 3500 experience points, just enough to reach 7000, allowing her to level up once more.
"Is it ten thousand experience points to go from level four to level five?"
[Yes, the more you progress, the more experience points you need.]
Magic levels are not something else; this can only be grinded by Su Yao herself. It's uncertain whether she can gather the ten thousand experience points by the end of the full moon event.
"Let's upgrade first."
[Congratulations to the host for raising their magic level to 4, becoming an apprentice intermediate mage, and receiving a magic hat*1.]
[Magic Hat: A wondrous and beautiful hat, said to grow hair when worn. However, whether this rumor is true remains for the wearer to discover.]
