Since you want to pretend, then I'll play along to the end today.

Wu Yu, mimicking the tone of a true adventurer, ordered in a superior manner, "Village Chief, go and prepare enough food and water for me to last three days, and find a young man familiar with the mountain environment to guide me."

At this point, Wu Yu paused, trying to hide his embarrassment, "As for the reward, I will definitely not let you down when I get back."

When you're broke, you feel less confident when you speak.

The village chief looked at Wu Yu with surprise and asked, "Adventurer, do you intend to go find that evil dragon alone? I thought you were left behind because you were not strong enough."

Wu Yu noticed that the village chief was staring at his empty sleeve, but he didn't care. "Heh, of course not. It's just that those guys are too weak. I'm too lazy to cooperate with them. They're just a few evil dragons. I can take care of them with a flick of my hand."

Wu Yu boasted without even thinking, and seeing the village chief's increasingly respectful expression, Wu Yu gave up on his final probing and asked, "Is everything alright?"

"Alright, adventurer, please wait a moment, I'll find the person for you shortly." The village chief nodded in agreement and then urged his aged body to walk outside.

But the village chief was quite old and couldn't do everything himself. He simply went to a neighboring house and gave them a few instructions, and someone else naturally went to run errands for him.

Wu Yu didn't have to wait long before a strong, capable-looking young man carrying a bag came up to him.

After sizing up the burly young man, Wu Yu stood in front of him and suddenly said, "Be careful!"

Wu Yu had barely finished speaking when he launched a swift attack, and his first move was a killing blow.

With the system's assistance, every move the burly young man made was like a stripped-down dancer in his eyes, his entire body laid bare.

Wu Yu did not use a sword, nor did he use the system to enhance his strength. He simply used his own power, turning his fingers into a sword, and attacked the burly young man.

The burly young man didn't just stand there dumbfounded; he raised his hand to try and block Wu Yu's attack.

However, his strength was inferior to Wu Yu's, and his martial arts skills were worlds apart from Wu Yu's. Wu Yu only made a feint, which misled the strong young man, causing him to block in the wrong direction. Wu Yu's sword finger touched the strong young man's throat without any hindrance.

Fortunately, Wu Yu stopped in time, and the strong young man only felt like he had been bitten by a mosquito and was not injured. However, he was still in shock when Wu Yu's finger came from his throat.

This person did not suppress his defensive instincts, nor did he deliberately hold back. With the help of the system, no one could hide their fighting strength from Wu Yu.

Now we don't have to worry about anyone stabbing us in the back. It's just a bit of a pity that we didn't get to test the depths of this village!

"Sir, what are you doing? I don't know what I've done to offend you?" the burly young man asked tremblingly.

"It's nothing, just testing your skills. You're pretty good." Wu Yu patted the burly young man on the shoulder, reassuring him.

"Lead the way."

"Sir, where are we going?" the burly young man asked in confusion.

"Since we're here, I'd like to slay a dragon for fun," Wu Yu said to the burly young man with a wicked grin.
