Her Combat Power Reincarnated Too!
Just from looking at its massive body, it was obvious this giant boar had terrifying attack power.
Yan Yiqiu gritted her teeth and sprinted forward with all her might, weaving in an awkward S-shaped zigzag pattern to shake off the players chasing behind her.
Maybe the group behind her had already used up too much stamina earlier, because they actually couldn’t catch up and remained at a distance the whole time.
Yan Yiqiu felt a surge of relief. Just as she was about to relax, the corner of her eye caught something strange.
The giant boar had already caught up to one of the players—but instead of attacking him, it ran straight past him, ignoring the man’s desperate expression.
The player’s face went from despair, to confusion, to overwhelming relief. From hell to heaven in an instant.
What was going on? Wasn’t this boar trying to eat people?
As Yan Yiqiu wondered, she noticed the boar’s blood-red eyes were locked onto a single target.
Her.
Yan Yiqiu: “???”
Wait. What? Why me?!
The other players noticed too. They exchanged looks and immediately ran in the opposite direction from Yan Yiqiu.
Afraid the boar would come back after eating her, none of them dared stop. Within moments they were gone.
“Great. Even you’re picking on the easy target—the life-class player?”
Yan Yiqiu had no idea that the boar had caught her scent earlier that afternoon. She assumed it was targeting her because she looked weaker.
That thought made her laugh in anger.
You think I’m easy prey?
Her eyes sharpened.
She sped up, pulling out the crossbow she crafted earlier. She leapt up, kicked off a tree trunk to propel herself forward, then twisted mid-air and fired a bolt straight at the boar’s eye.
Whoosh!
The bolt sliced through the air and struck the boar’s left eye.
“ROOOAR!!!”
The intense pain drove the boar into a frenzy. It charged even faster, closing the gap instantly, its massive tusks looking terrifying.
At this distance, firing another bolt was too dangerous.
Yan Yiqiu made the decision instantly. She stowed the crossbow and grabbed the beginner axe from the starter pack.
As the boar lunged close, she twisted sideways, barely brushing past its tusks, and swung the axe down toward its enormous head.
Life-class players didn’t deal much damage. But the boar was already injured, so this strike should at least—
[Player dealt 441,950,763 damage to Giant Boar. Effective damage: 666.]
The giant boar crashed to the ground with a thunderous boom. Its mountain-like body shook the earth.
[Obtained: White Meat ×10, White Beast Hide ×3, Bones ×6, Beast Blood ×5, +50 EXP, White Chest ×1, 500 Copper Coins.]
Yan Yiqiu: “?”
Yan Yiqiu: “…”
Yan Yiqiu froze.
What the hell was that damage?
Was this a bug?
Then suddenly, a thought flashed through her mind.
Wait…
Could it be that her combat power from her previous life had reincarnated with her?!
She rubbed her chin thoughtfully.
Bug or not, she’d know after testing it again.
But first she needed to rest and eat something—and open the chest.
[Obtained: Sugar ×10, White Cloth ×5, Tailor: White Backpack Blueprint ×1, 200 Copper Coins.]
“My luck is insane.”
Yan Yiqiu couldn’t help inhaling sharply.
“Tomorrow I might be able to cook braised pork…”
She learned the backpack blueprint and checked the crafting requirements.
[Backpack (White): +1 inventory slot. Materials: Cloth ×2.]
Perfect timing.
Her bag was nearly full anyway. Since she still had plenty of energy left, she decided to craft the backpack first.
Under the quiet moonlight, Yan Yiqiu took out cloth and needle and thread, slowly sewing the bag.
[Obtained: Backpack (White) ×2.]
[Used Backpack → Inventory slots +2.]
Her stats updated:
Player Level: 1 (172/250)Profession Levels:Cooking – Beginner (0)Pharmacist – Beginner (0)Carpenter – Beginner (1)Tailor – Beginner (0)Blacksmith – Beginner (0)

Inventory (12 slots):Grilled Fish ×5Wood ×489Biscuits ×3Water ×3Stamina Potions ×2Energy Potions ×2Bandages ×3Copper Coins ×900
Materials related to life professions were stored in separate profession bags, so they didn’t occupy main inventory slots.
Yan Yiqiu ate three grilled fish, restoring her fullness to 98.
She yawned.
Nighttime in the dungeon was even more dangerous than daytime. Sleeping peacefully wasn’t realistic, but she could at least take a short nap.
She gathered long wild grass and some pungent plants, crushed them with a rock, and scattered the smell around her—and even rubbed some on herself.
Most beasts hated the smell and would avoid the area.
She spread a piece of beast hide on the ground, covered herself with grass, and lay down to rest.
In the darkness, it was nearly impossible to notice someone lying there.
All tricks she learned in her previous life.
The forest was far more active at night. Howls and screams echoed constantly.
Some lucky players managed to exit the dungeon before being eaten by beasts.
Others were less fortunate—they forgot the exit option entirely and were devoured alive.
Yan Yiqiu slept about three hours before waking.
Stamina and energy were full again. Fullness dropped by five points.
She stretched and packed up the hide.
Time to find a beast and provoke it—
No, not provoke.
Test her combat power.
At night, encountering beasts was much more likely.
After walking deeper into the forest for several minutes, she heard rustling about a hundred meters ahead.
She pushed aside tall grass and saw it.
A two-meter-long wild pheasant, its feathers dazzling.
It was pecking at insects, completely unaware that someone was staring at it with glowing eyes.
Compared to other beasts, pheasants weren’t very strong—their advantage was speed.
Yan Yiqiu crept closer, crouching low and stepping silently.
When she got within a few meters, the pheasant finally sensed danger and flapped its wings to run.
Too late.
Yan Yiqiu lunged like a tiger and swung her axe.
[Player dealt 512,736,472 damage to Wild Pheasant. Effective damage: 469.]
[Obtained: White Meat ×4, Feathers ×7, Beast Blood ×3, Bones ×4, +29 EXP, 325 Copper Coins.]
Player Level: 2 (1/500)
Stamina: 62/70Energy: 65/70HP: 400/400Fullness: 85/100
Yan Yiqiu stared at the damage number.
“…My combat power really did reincarnate with me.”
So now she was…
a combat monster inside a life-class player body.
With this damage, she could practically bulldoze through early- and mid-game dungeons.
The realization left her dizzy with excitement.
Her previous plan was useless now.
Why hide?
She would crush the early game dungeons with brute force, gather resources quickly, and upgrade her territory before the protective barrier disappeared.
Because once the barrier vanished, the fog monsters would arrive.
And last life, she barely survived them.
Her thoughts sharpened.
She suddenly remembered something she heard in her previous life.
There was a mineral vein deep in this forest.
But the beasts guarding it were far stronger than those outside.
They weren’t just beasts anymore.
They were mutated beasts.
Stronger, tougher, deadlier.
Any beginner player would die instantly.
Before entering the dungeon, Yan Yiqiu never considered going there.
But now?
Her thoughts changed.
Upgrading a Level-1 territory required 200 wood.
Level-2 required 200 iron ore.
Wood was easy.
Ore was not.
Last life, she nearly died in the third dungeon trying to get it.
She looked toward the deepest part of the forest.
Without hesitation, she grabbed her axe and walked straight toward it.
Ore vein—here I come!
With her past-life combat power, she walked forward fearlessly.
In fact, she almost hoped beasts would block her path.
They were just free materials.
On the way, she killed:
• A 3-meter deer• A 4-meter wolf• A tiger even larger than the giant boar
Loot flooded in.
She even obtained two blueprints:
• Architect – Watchtower• Engineer – Territory Cannon
Yan Yiqiu’s eyes lit up.
The architect profession specialized in territory buildings.
And cannons?
Even a low-tier cannon was extremely valuable in the early game.
She learned the blueprints immediately.
After walking for a long time, the dense forest thinned out, revealing steep rocky cliffs.
She climbed upward.
The moment she reached the top—
A dark shape lunged from the shadows.
“Hiss—!”
She swung her axe instantly.
[Player dealt 378,374,056 damage to Mutated Beast. Effective damage: 4,538.]
Loot:
Energy Meat (Green) ×7Green Beast Hide ×2Poison Fangs ×2+98 EXP1,010 Copper Coins
Yan Yiqiu nodded.
As expected.
Mutated beasts.
Unlike normal white meat, green meat contained energy.
Energy meat could restore stamina and energy.
But most players gave it to chefs to cook buff food.
Yan Yiqiu rubbed her chin thoughtfully.
Using energy meat to cook braised pork should increase the success rate.
She continued forward.
After killing three more mutated beasts, she finally saw it at dawn.
A natural iron mine.
But she didn’t rush to mine.
Instead she sat down and checked her inventory.
Then her eyes froze.
At the bottom of the materials list was a strange item.
Mutated Beast Dung ×2
Yan Yiqiu: “?”
Wait a second.
When did THAT get in there?
And why was it in her crafting materials bag?!
She thought about it for a moment.
“…Probably when I killed the second mutated beast.”
She hesitated.
Then shrugged.
“Eh… I’ll keep it.”
“You never know when it might be useful.”
