Chapter 58 Falling Boulder
After clearing the battlefield, I obtained 31 crystal coins, two level 30 Bronze-grade pieces of equipment, a skill book, various materials, and the most eye-catching item was a quest item.
「Savage Mine Mining Right Fragment: Collect 10 to exchange for mining rights at Wu Shuang City's City Lord's Mansion.」
“Hiss…”
“This thing…”
“In other words, if I collect 10, then I’ll be a man with a mine?!”
Li Xiang immediately became excited.
Although I don't have a mine in reality, I can have this chance in the game!!!
“Let’s look at the skill book.”
【Falling Boulder】
Effect: Consumes a large amount of magic points to summon a giant boulder, striking the target, dealing 200% magic damage to the target, and having a chance to stun the target.
Cooldown: 50s
Cost: 510
【Comment: This is no ordinary magic; only a few Mages are qualified to master it!】
“Holy crap!!”
“200% magic damage!!!”
“The Magic Laser dropped by the level 35 Gold-grade BOSS Three-Eyed Demon Bat only dealt 180% magic damage, this one is directly 200%!!!”
“Awesome!!!”
Learn!
【Ding! Skill 「Falling Boulder」 learned successfully!】
Another single-target burst skill added!
After clearing the battlefield, Li Xiang happily came before the quest target, Mark.
The person was already dead, their health bar had returned to zero.
But the quest hadn't shown as completed yet.
Calling up the friend panel, Li Xiang found Liu Yunfeng, “Yunfeng, have You arrived?”
Liu Yunfeng replied instantly, “Qu Ming, I’ll be there right away. I died too quickly just now and didn’t interact with the quest NPC, so it didn’t count towards the quest objective…”
“Okay, I’ll wait for You here.”
Three minutes later, Liu Yunfeng appeared in the mine, panting.
The Monsters outside had been cleared out by Li Xiang. Because there were too few players here and no new Monsters had spawned, he entered very smoothly.
“Qu Ming… You killed the BOSS?!”
Li Xiang grunted and yawned, “It’s nothing.”
Liu Yunfeng immediately showed an expression of worship and quickly came before Mark.
In Li Xiang’s quest log, the quest 「Confirm the Mine Chief's Safety」 was shown as completed, awaiting delivery.
“Let’s go, back to the city.”
“Okay, Qu Ming!”
Currently, I have two quests awaiting delivery: one is Liu Yunfeng’s shared quest, and the other is Li Xiang’s own Demon Clan exploration quest.
After going back and completing the quests, I’ll synthesize some top-tier equipment, then come back to Savage Mine to farm for the mining right fragments!
Having determined the objective, Li Xiang immediately used a Return to City Stone with Liu Yunfeng.
…
A white light flashed, and Li Xiang and Liu Yunfeng appeared in the city.
The two separated to turn in their quests.
Li Xiang came to the City Lord's Mansion.
The City Lord was stunned when he saw Li Xiang take out the Demon Clan token.
“Adventurer… You actually… were able to kill a level 35 Gold-grade Demon Clan!”
Hearing his words, Li Xiang’s face darkened.
Good heavens!
This dog City Lord knew the target was a level 35 Gold-grade BOSS, yet he still sent me to fight it.
【Ding! Quest 「Whereabouts of the Demon Clan」 completed.】
【Ding! Obtained quest reward 'Experience Points' x2 million】
【Ding! Obtained quest reward 'Gold Coins' x100】
【Ding! Obtained quest reward 'Demon Clan Soldier Fragment' x1】
The City Lord NPC looked at Li Xiang, “You did very well. The token contains a large amount of information. The Demon Clan is preparing to appear in this World again, bringing disaster upon it.
They seem to be attempting to hold some ritual within the Dark Forest. Brave adventurer, I need You to go explore it.”
Quest refreshed.
【Explore the Purpose of the Demon Clan Sacrifice】
Requirement: Find and kill the Demon Clan in the Dark Forest.
Reward: Experience Points x5 million
【Introduction: Figures of the Demon Clan have appeared in the Dark Forest, suspected of performing some strange sacrifice. Brave adventurer, go stop them!】
“Okay City Lord, I will complete the quest successfully.”
The City Lord NPC nodded and looked at Li Xiang, “The Monsters in the Dark Forest are very strong. I suggest You raise your level before going there.”
“Thank You for the reminder, City Lord. I will be careful.”
After leaving the City Lord's Mansion, Li Xiang checked the rewards for completing the quest.
100 gold coins is a huge sum for other players at this stage, but for Li Xiang, it’s nothing.
「Demon Clan Soldier Fragment: Pet fragment. Collect 10 to synthesize the pet ‘Demon Clan Soldier’.」
“Pet!!!”
“Is there a pet system this quickly?”
Demon Clan Soldier, I wonder if it's any good.
Opening the panel, Li Xiang put all 5 free attribute points obtained from leveling up into Strength and walked towards the equipment shop in the city.
As he walked, he opened the game forum.
Currently, the game forum is only open for the main city where the player is located.
Li Xiang is currently in Wu Shuang City, and the game forum displays information about Wu Shuang City. Only when Li Xiang goes to another city will the forum content for that city be displayed.
Most of the posts on the forum were just idle chatter and didn't contain anything useful.
The posts with extremely high popularity were those related to himself.
Killing the Gold-grade Demon Clan BOSS exposed his identity, putting him on Wu Shuang City’s hot search.
Li Xiang opened the forum's search function and searched for equipment.
After looking around, he didn't find anything useful.
There was simply no one who needed the same equipment in large quantities like him.
Perhaps in the entire game, only he had this kind of demand.
As he walked, he arrived at the equipment shop.
There were quite a few players in the equipment shop.
However, many players were scared away after asking for the price.
Li Xiang happened to overhear a conversation between a player and an NPC salesperson. A level 10 white-grade hat was selling for 10 silver coins, which was no different from robbing someone.
A level 10 white-grade hat dropped by Monsters outside the Eastern City Gate only sold for 50 copper coins when sold to the equipment shop.
This price difference, a full 20 times… truly no different from robbing someone!!!
Li Xiang walked into the shop, and an NPC came up to him.
“Dear adventurer, would You like to buy equipment?”
Li Xiang nodded, “Among the level 20 equipment, what is the quantity of the most numerous piece of equipment?”
The NPC was stunned by the question.
He immediately said, “Among the level 20 equipment in this shop, the most numerous are level 20 white-grade weapons, white-grade tops, and white-grade pants. The total quantity is around ten thousand pieces per week, available for all classes. You can freely choose to purchase…”
It was similar to what Liu Yunfeng said, but not ten thousand pieces per day, but ten thousand pieces per week!
The variety of items sold was also small, only common weapons, tops, and pants.
“Do other cities also sell these types of equipment?”
The NPC nodded, “Yes, our equipment shop is a nationwide chain. All cities sell these items, also limited to ten thousand pieces per week.”
Li Xiang had an idea. “Bring out all the level 20 white-grade equipment. I’ll take a look.”
“Okay, please wait a moment.”
A few minutes later, the NPC brought out over ten pieces of equipment.
Li Xiang checked and selected them one by one.
What a divine artifact ultimately looks like is inseparable from its initial basic attributes.
Li Xiang wanted to pick out the most suitable basic equipment before buying and synthesizing them in large quantities.
After careful comparison, Li Xiang determined the three types of basic equipment he needed.
