Chapter 116: Task Completed
Translator: 549690339
The terrifying aspect of Grugh’s son isn’t necessarily his overwhelming power, but the shadow power he possesses.
What made him dreadful was the fact that he, as an elite level 25 and level 30 boss, appeared in a map meant for players between levels 10 and 20.
Even players in this stage, with luxurious equipment, wouldn’t be able to withstand this curse.
It spelled despair for lower-level players.
However, facing a fully equipped boss squad wasn’t as optimistic. If Grugh’s son isn’t able to instantly kill the bosses, his health would quickly be boosted.
The tension of the battle was exceptional.
“No wonder a squad could wipe out thousands of murloc groups, it’s horrifying.” Xiao Ze commented while filming the battle.
“This emphasizes the importance of a squad.” The Guardian Angel chimed in proudly, “See the importance of the healers, right? Without healing, the four bosses would’ve been torn apart by the level 30 boss.”
Fruit Knight glanced at him and said in a flat tone, “Hmm, they’re crucial indeed. But you should level up yourself in the future and stop relying on me.”
“Uh…” The Guardian Angel became disheartened. He only had one offensive spell at his disposal and it wasn’t particularly powerful. Grinding by himself would prove to be a killjoy. “Of course, MT is the most important. Without an MT, having a nurse wouldn’t make a difference.”
“Then don’t form an output team again in the future.” Zhao Lei said with contempt.
“Go play somewhere else…” The Guardian Angel replied in annoyance.
Zhao Lei showed him a middle finger, then turned to Li Yao and asked, “Who do you think will win?”
Hearing Zhao Lei’s question, Xiao Ze also perked up his ears. The battle was too intense to predict who would emerge victorious.
Li Yao frowned and said, “It’s hard to say, loads of uncertainties. No one knows what would happen.”
“Just share your judgment, we can’t make a decision.” Xiao Ze heard the undertone.
“It’s simple really. Two situations might occur. If the werewolf priest doesn’t run out of mana, they can wear down Grugh’s son. If the priest runs out of mana first, the werewolves wouldn’t last long and they’ll be team wiped quickly.”
“Bullshit, anyone would’ve understood that.” King of Hunters said coldly. Li Yao led Grugh’s son successfully over, and he felt sore about it, losing face. He unloaded all his resentment on Li Yao.
“If you knew, why did you bother to ask? Why are you bothering him? Go screw yourself!” Zhao Lei didn’t like him either and pointed out his flaws with a sneer.
“That’s enough!” Death Scythe reprimanded King of Hunters, then coldly asked, “Your man is tyrannical. Would you not regulate him?”
Li Yao simply laughed, “He is my good friend, not my subordinate.
Incidentally, even if he were, I wouldn’t see anything wrong with what he said. He just voiced out what I had on my mind.”
“Alright, alright. There’re plenty of people watching. Let’s keep the peace and harmony.” Dark Grapes subtly reminded Death Scythe. Other players were observing. He continued, “How do you plan to handle the loot from the werewolves and the murlocs?”
Li Yao knitted his eyebrows. So many corpses had numerous materials and combined with some white and green equipment, it wouldn’t fit even in his squad’s inventory.
“Do you have any good suggestions?” Li Yao asked.
“You’re unable to carry so much loot, right?” Dark Grapes gave a sincere smile, “How about this, sell these materials to our guild, Holy Fire Guild. These are materials and equipment produced by monsters above level 10, they’re pretty good. We’ll definitely offer you a satisfactory price, our guild has the wealth and the foundation.’
“Fair enough, but I want to pick out some things that I need before selling the rest,” Li Yao agreed, seeing that it was the best solution, otherwise he couldn’t carry that much loot.
“Great, I’ll let a hundred people with empty backpacks pick up the stuff. We can tally everything when the collection is done. What do you think?”‘ Dark Grapes said happily. At the current stage, materials and equipment of level 10 are scarce commodities. Not long after, the guild elites would reach level 10 and put them to immediate use.
Jackson and Death Scythe watched with envy, but they had no choice. They couldn’t swallow their pride at this point.
Of course, even if they did, Li Yao wouldn’t be selling.
More than a hundred players provided Li Yao with screenshots of their empty backpacks timestamped, and then started collecting items.
Li Yao didn’t check in detail as the good stuff had already been picked up by the Fire Eagle.
Such as the Blue Equipment, golden pearls produced by aquatic creatures, a very rare material.
Not only was it used for jewelry, but it was also crucial for enchanting, engineering, alchemy, and was of high value.
Especially as these secondary professions progress to an intermediate level, they would need to make certain items to continue advancing, and the Golden Pearl was a necessary item.
The battle went on for over an hour. The fight between bosses, especially amongst low-level bosses, was quite monotonous.
Finally, the werewolf priest ran out of mana. The result was that the several bosses were brutally slaughtered and tragically fell onto the ground.
At this point, Li Yao used the old method again, making Grugh’s son experience several high-altitude falls. Only then did Grugh’s son tragically lose his life as his health dwindled down to zero.
For sure, he didn’t fight much due to the large level gap, meaning he didn’t gain any experience. It was considered a monster-inflicted casualty, so he only dropped a level 30 purple gear.
Cursed Steel Claws Quality: Purple Epic
Strength: 62 Agility: 60
Blood Curse: When attacking, it has a low probability of causing a curse effect, reducing the target’s agility by 15% and losing 0.5% of health every second for 10 seconds.
Required Class: Shaman Priest, Martial Monk
Li Yao generously shared the attributes, instantly attracting a sea of praise. The attributes were simply too amazing.
Not only that, the key was that this curse was eye-popping. Especially in face-to-face combat, what does a 15% decrease in agility mean? High-level players would surely seize the opportunity to counter their opponents and determine life and death.
Those with some knowledge knew that this was a PK artifact.
“Cough cough, brother, are you selling this piece of equipment?” Dark Grapes leaned in and asked, “The price is negotiable.”
Li Yao smiled, put the equipment in his bag, and said, “The key is that it’s not up for negotiation.”
Li Yao’s plan was simple. In a few days, it’d be the carnival. After the carnival, with his accumulated points, he would be able to establish his own guild. This piece of equipment would be the icing on the cake, shining brightly in the guild warehouse.
This would stimulate the fighting spirit of the guild members.
If sold, it would only earn him more Gold Coins, but the problem was, let alone Li Yao not lacking Gold Coins, even if he did, making money wasn’t a problem for him.
“Really, there’s no room for negotiation?” Dark Grapes’s eyes dimmed. He thought the same as Li Yao. If placed in the guild warehouse, it would stir up the members’ enthusiasm.
“Really, none.” Li Yao took out the signal given by the queen and fired it into the sky. A strange wave generated and spread out. “Now, let’s calculate how much these materials and equinment are worth.”
