"Yi Ping, you bastard! Are you really going to oppose our Glorious Guild to the end?!" Brilliant Mad Blade roared at Lin Zheng with a fierce expression!
Lin Zheng glanced at Brilliant Mad Blade disdainfully. "What's the point of talking tough after losing? If you've got guts, show me how capable your Brilliant Godslayer is. Or are you only good at bullying weaker players?"
"Why are you acting so arrogant, kid? You just got lucky for now. Later, you'll realize how foolish it is to offend a major guild! If you can still play then, I'll take your surname!" Brilliant Godslayer looked arrogant, clearly not putting the temporarily lucky Lin Zheng in his eyes.
However, what he said was not without reason. Even if an average person gets a bit lucky for a while, it's impossible to be lucky all the time, right? And a major guild has its own foundation; putting aside everything else, numbers are an advantage!
It's something that can only happen in fantasy for one person to challenge a guild!
Lin Zheng clicked his tongue twice and said, "I'm actually a little scared!"
"Scared that you'll share a surname with me, huh! How embarrassing!" With that, Lin Zheng drew his bow and shot an arrow. Brilliant Godslayer, whose HP hadn't fully recovered, fell to the ground with a livid face and died!
"You bastard, you ambushed me!" Brilliant Mad Blade roared, brandishing his dagger and charging at Lin Zheng. Lin Zheng's eyes widened. "Which eye saw me ambush you? I attacked him openly and fairly! He's just stupid, alright!"
"Die!" Brilliant Mad Blade shouted, and his dagger stabbed towards Lin Zheng's throat, his moves decisive and ruthless!
Seeing his fierce expression and murderous eyes, Lin Zheng even wondered if this guy was a murderer in real life!
"Bang--"! Brilliant Mad Blade was kicked into the air with a look of horror. What made him even more uncomfortable was that his body was completely out of control. He could only watch helplessly as Lin Zheng on the ground drew his bow. On the bowstring, a huge energy arrow appeared, making people shudder just by looking at it.
"Swoosh--" The green energy arrow flew off the string, accurately hitting Brilliant Mad Blade's chest, directly shooting a large hole through him. Without surprise, Brilliant Mad Blade was instantly killed in mid-air!
Before his corpse could even hit the ground, Brilliant Mad Blade resurrected and returned to the city in shame and anger!
"This move is really cool! As expected of an ultimate skill!" Lin Zheng looked at the gradually dissipating energy arrow with great satisfaction, feeling pleased for a while.
Then, Lin Zheng picked up the equipment dropped by the hunters. As expected of elites from a major guild, the few pieces of equipment they dropped were all Silver-grade. Rich people!
Just as he finished picking up the equipment, Xia Mo suddenly appeared. Lin Zheng immediately stared at her with wide eyes. Is this girl going to defy the heavens?! She can run out on her own without being summoned!
"Daddy, I want to eat beef!" Xia Mo's sweet and obedient demeanor instantly dispelled all of Lin Zheng's doubts about her!
Alright! It was already unbelievable enough that the poisonous bee was beautified into a little loli; it's not surprising that she can run out on her own. She's highly intelligent, so she can't be treated conventionally!
After getting the beef she wanted, Xia Mo happily sat on Lin Zheng's shoulder again. And the now free Lin Zheng finally had time to see what the boss had dropped.
Opening his inventory, Lin Zheng found the items dropped by the boss. He had snatched them too quickly before and hadn't seen clearly what they were. Upon seeing them, Lin Zheng's heart immediately surged with excitement!
He saw a golden, shimmering token lying in one of the slots in his inventory! Hero Token?!
Lin Zheng immediately tapped the token impatiently, and its attributes were displayed!
Lin Zheng was so excited!
High Priest's Token: A key that can open the Altar Secret Passage. Choosing to use it will accept the quest "Revival"! Quest Item
Pfft—Lin Zheng immediately spat out a mouthful of old blood. "Damn it!" Lin Zheng looked indignant, happy for nothing. Why did you make a quest item so magnificent?! Isn't that just asking for it!
In extreme frustration, Lin Zheng continued to look at the items dropped by the boss. Hmm~!? What is this thing? A dark, round object appeared in one of the inventory slots.
Curious, Lin Zheng clicked to open its attributes.
Red South Kingdom Hero Token: The former emperor of Red South Kingdom was a frugal emperor. To save expenses, he once ordered Hero Tokens to be made from obsidian, then branded with magical imprints to verify their authenticity! Consume 10,000 gold coins and submit this token to the City Lord to establish a Level 1 Guild!
Damn it! Lin Zheng spat out another mouthful of old blood, completely speechless about the ridiculously deceptive black stone token in his inventory!
What frugal emperor? He was practically a miser, using stones as Hero Tokens. How deceptive, isn't it?! Would it kill you to gild it?!
Alright! Regardless, the Hero Token was in hand. Although its appearance was a bit deceptive, it was a genuine article after all! But that 10,000 gold coins!! Lin Zheng felt a headache. He should have known not to sell the gold coins earlier!
It seems he'll have to do some high-level cooking to earn money after returning, otherwise, it won't be easy to gather these 10,000 gold coins!
After his excitement, Lin Zheng continued to check his gains. Unexpectedly, when he saw another item from the boss, Lin Zheng became excited again! It was the Cold Spirit Battle Armor, one of the Han Ling Set!
Cold Spirit Battle Armor: Level Requirement 60, Dark Gold-grade
Physical Defense 1020, Magic Defense 1020
Defense Skill: Magic Defense +320
Stamina: Stamina +45
Agility: Agility +48
Exemption: Damage Reduction +15%
Cold Spirit Body: When attacked, 10% chance to inflict Ice Strike on the opponent, reducing attack speed and movement speed by 20% for 10 seconds.
Comes with special skill: Frost Shield
One of the Han Ling Set
The Han Ling Set is a powerful set that only elite warriors of the Tear Clan can equip. The most important Cold Spirit Battle Armor has always been personally given to warriors by the High Priest.
...
Good luck, the most important armor was actually found among the boss's drops! This way, Lin Zheng now has three pieces of the Han Ling Set, and he only needs three more parts to complete a full set!
In addition, the boss also dropped a skill book, Ice Dragon Roar, an ultimate skill for Elementalist, one of the two second-tier professions for mages.
Lin Zheng estimated that Youxi would choose Elementalist for her second tier, so it was perfect to save it for her! Finally, Lin Zheng saw a card, which was something he had casually picked up. He clicked to open its attributes, and Lin Zheng immediately chuckled!
Restriction Removal: Upon use, all friendly units within a fifty-meter radius will temporarily be unaffected by rank suppression for 30 minutes. Cooldown 120 minutes. Usages left: 8/10. Rare Grade B
So this was why the Glorious Guild ignored rank suppression!
With the boss snatched and even this important item dropped, Lin Zheng was certain that the higher-ups of the Glorious Guild must be fuming right now!
After a moment of schadenfreude, Lin Zheng took out the High Priest's Token from his inventory. This item, which looked more like a Hero Token than the actual Hero Token, was said to be able to grant a quest.
Lin Zheng was no longer the newbie he was when he first started playing; he knew that such quest items would yield very good rewards! He immediately used the token.
"You have accepted the quest 'Revival'. Quest difficulty: Epic-grade (Lower Tier)! The Tear Clan faces extinction. The High Priest has sent the Tear Clan's last hope into the secret chamber, hoping that one day the seed of hope will sprout and bring new life to the Tear Clan! Quest objective: Find the entrance to the secret chamber and enter it within 30 minutes, awaken the slumbering Tear Clan Saintess, and help the Saintess revive the Tear Clan!"
"An Epic-grade quest?!" Lin Zheng was stunned!
