Chapter 621: Chapter 621: Hidden Treasure Chest
Shatana Glamour gave a wave and said, “Thanks so much for this time, we couldn’t have done it without you.”
“We help each other out. If it hadn’t been for your support outside, Starfire would have been a punching bag by now.” Li Yao replied, smiling, and pulled out his gathering knife.
It seemed that all Shatana Glamour did was say a few words, but it changed the entire situation.
Even with the looting by other solo players, while others were angry at Li Yao for snatching the treasure, they didn’t take out their anger on Starfire.
Otherwise, with someone pulling the strings, others would surely think that Li Yao set up the whole situation, tricking everyone in circles, and in the end reaping the peach. Such a shameless act was unbearable.
Faced with the anger of many guilds, even Li Yao didn’t want to play around like this. It wasn’t about being scared, it simply wasn’t necessary. Right now, Starfire needed to focus on growth.
Watching Li Yao gather materials, Shatana Glamour asked earnestly, “Now that it’s just us, can you tell me if you were the one who set this situation up?”
Li Yao was taken aback, then chuckled, “You must be joking! If I knew there were treasures here, I would’ve taken them myself, without letting anyone know. Why would I cause such a commotion? If it gets out, who knows how many people I’ll offend.”
“That’s true. The person who set up this situation is really cunning. Even though everyone knew it was a trap, they still fell for it, thinking they could control everything. But in the end, you reaped the benefits. The person who set this up must hate you.” Shatana Glamour’s tone held a hint of frustration. After all, the unbeatable allure of the treasure was too compelling.
Warcraft bosses are hard to beat, but at least they have a health bar that can eventually be whittled down. But the treasure? It kills indiscriminately, yet doesn’t lose any health, which is despairing.
Li Yao shrugged, “If one is not strong enough, they have to rely on setting traps. If they can’t even control the trap, and lose the treasure, they shouldn’t blame others but accept that it wasn’t meant for them. As for causing me trouble, it’s not a big deal. The losers are probably not all that great anyway.”
Li Yao spoke casually, thinking it was best if only his close ones knew about these things. In his eyes, his close ones were only the guild’s elders, and the secrets were only completely safe with the core members of the guild.
Although he had a good relationship with Shatana Glamour and his sister, they were in different guilds, and their interests were not the same. It was better not to let them know.
He naturally detected that this was Shatana Glamour testing him, but he wouldn’t become arrogant and reveal it. It was better to keep it to himself and enjoy it silently.
Li Yao collected the materials, all of which were top quality. Although the boss’s strength had been weakened, it was a mid-level boss type Warcraft. The quality of the materials was all golden.
For example, Electric Dragon Scale, Dragon Skin, teeth, and other items, if the secondary profession level was sufficient, one could possibly craft a few Golden Dresses.
“These are your spoils of war.” Although Li Yao had collected them, he didn’t keep any for himself, putting the materials in front of Shatana Glamour directly.
“If it wasn’t for you, how could we possibly defeat this boss? I only want the quest item, as for these materials, you should take them.” Shatana Glamour waved her hand, not taking the materials.
Li Yao shook his head, “I came here to help, so naturally, I can’t claim the spoils. If you don’t want it, just leave it here. Rules are rules.”
When asking for help, the reward must be negotiated. For example, Li Yao, the reward for his help was Shatana Glamour ensuring that Starfire wasn’t targeted by everyone. She fulfilled her end, so Li Yao received his reward.
Whatever he helped others obtain, naturally they should decide how to use it.
“Speaking of rules, you should choose an item that’s useful to you.” Shatana Glamour said seriously.
“Alright then, I’ll just choose randomly.” Li Yao said, not even looking, and put the nearest material in his backpack.
“You should’ve chosen the teeth or scales. At least you could’ve crafted a Golden Dress.” Shanata Glamour admired Li Yao’s modesty, thinking he was just going through the motions.
Little did she know, Li Yao was over the moon inside because he had grabbed exactly what he wanted. Compared to this item, any Golden Dress was garbage.
However, he didn’t show any signs, in case Shatana Glamour found out and took it from him.
Heart of the Electric Dragon Leader: Legendary yellow material.
This is a very versatile but hard to find material.
The drop rate of the Dragon Heart is extremely low, about one in ten thousand. The odds are astonishing, meaning one would have to kill ten thousand Electric Dragons to get one Dragon Heart.
Let alone the Heart of the Electric Dragon Leader. Killing ten thousand Electric Dragon Leaders, what a joke. Electric Dragons are not easy to provoke.
For Li Yao, the uses are manifold; it can be used to create a permanent array, or evolve the level thirty Hydra into an Electric Snake, etc. Either way, for Li Yao, it’s extremely valuable.
However, Li Yao wouldn’t use it on the Hydra, because to induce the Hydra’s evolution, even without the Heart of the Electric Dragon, other items could be used as a replacement.
Using the Heart of the Electric Dragon as a regular material would be a total waste. Li Yao needed it to strengthen his Spider Tank.
To strengthen the Spider Tank again wasn’t easy. No matter how many regular materials you have, they couldn’t compare to one Dragon Heart. Moreover, he needed runes to strengthen other pets.
In Li Yao’s conception, having the Spider Tank take the electrical route would be best. It could provide a continuous supply of energy and gain some attributes. If it had a paralyzing effect, then the Spider Tank would become very powerful and become a true perpetual motion machine.
With the Physical Rune enhancement, the Spider Tank could gain a higher physical immunity rate. Even better, if done properly, it could grant Li Yao some of the Spider Tank’s immunity, but Li Yao didn’t think it necessary.
The Flame Rune also wasn’t needed; it was better for the Fire Eagle to go this route. Not to mention the Frost Rune, because of the Hydra’s restrictions, the Frost Rune could undoubtedly make the Spider Tank stronger. However, it would have limited improvement for Li Yao as it would repeat his skills.
“Let’s go, let’s turn in the quest.” Shatana Glamour said.
Li Yao reined in his thoughts. Seeing all three women had already used Hearthstones, he quickly called out, “Wait, wait.”
“What’s up?” The three women halted their Hearthstones.
Li Yao helplessly said, “This is a dungeon after all. Don’t tell me you thought that it only had these benefits?”
Little Dewdrop asked doubtfully, “Isn’t it? Now that we’ve gathered from the Electric Dragon, there shouldn’t be anything else, right?”
“Heh, don’t regret it if you leave now. I’ll swallow up whatever’s left.” Li Yao said, walking toward a corner of the wall.
There were nine points on the wall. Li Yao quickly slid his fingers across them and a magical line formed connecting them.
With the sound of rumbling, a stone box slowly rose from the ground. The other three women were dumbfounded, clueless about how he did it…
