After thinking it through, Ethan continued hunting monkeys on the mountain with Elena until 11:30. Elena needed to log off and rest, so Ethan reminded her to stay within the school for now and told Silver Fang to be extra cautious.
Watching Elena log off, Ethan turned to Sylvia and asked, "You're sure Silver Fang can handle it, right?"
"They have a master-servant contract. That dumb wolf wouldn't let anyone harm its master."
"I mean its actual strength," Ethan replied. He still wasn't sure how in-game stats translated to real-world capability.
"You really don't have to worry about that," Sylvia said calmly. "With the Main Brain's restrictions here, a lot of its innate skills are suppressed. Out there, it'll actually be stronger than in the game."
"Good," Ethan breathed a sigh of relief and went back to grinding monsters. His next goal was to hit level 40. After two hours of hunting with Elena, he had killed 2,480 monkeys of various levels, raising his EXP to Lv36: 4.34M/5M.
