Chapter 40: King-tier First Killing! Asking for a Recommendation Ticket! Asking for a Monthly Ticket!
The Tainted-Blood Fanatic screamed and turned into a blood shadow. It instantly flew over and condensed his tentacles into blood swords that attacked Lin Bei!
So fast!
Lin Bei’s eyes darkened. This Boss’ speed was at least twice as fast as before it mutated!
Clang, clang, clang…
The Limit Magic Staff in his hand kept blocking, but even so, after reducing 90% of the damage, every slash could still deal more than 10,000 damage points to him!
“I’ve underestimated you.”
Lin Bei quickly retreated and activated the White Wings’ ability. His speed instantly doubled, and in a breath, he dodged more than ten slashes from the Boss.
At the same time, he kept casting the Discipline Spell on the Boss, draining its Health Points.
“Ahhh! You deserve to die! You deserve to die!!!”
Blanca, the Tainted-Blood Fanatic, screamed. Many of his tentacles actually broke off at the roots. Countless putrid green liquid gushed out of his body and gathered with the broken tentacles, finally turning into a blood-colored curved saber with an awe-inspiring aura.
“Die!”
Buzz!
In the entire stone room, the stone wall trembled violently. The green tainted blood aura on the altar instantly spread out, enveloping everything.
[You have been poisoned by the tainted blood. Health Points -10,000 per second. Duration: 30 seconds!]
[Your Purification Spell has taken effect! The poison of the tainted blood has dissipated!]
“Hmph, you still want to poison me?”
When Lin Bei heard the System notification, he snorted and continued to attack.
His Purification Spell had a permanent effect. No negative status could affect him!
However, the curved Blood Saber’s aura made him feel uneasy. He had to end this quickly!
The Discipline Spell continued to rain down on the Tainted-Blood Fanatic, causing him to scream in pain.
Finally, when there was only 10% of his life left, the Blood Saber erupted!
“Blood Explosion!”
Blood-red saber light instantly swept through the entire space!
For a moment, the ground shook and everything around them collapsed!
-200,000! (Death Immunity!)
A dazzling golden light flashed on Lin Bei’s body. The passive effect of Paladin’s Oath took effect and blocked the fatal blow for him.
At the same time, the Blood Saber that was floating in the air fell to the ground with a clang. Blanca, the Tainted-Blood Fanatic, also turned into a pool of pus and scattered on the ground.
“That was close. I didn’t expect the mutated King-tier Boss to be so powerful! If I didn’t have the Paladin’s Oath, I would have died again.”
Lin Bei patted the dust off his body and finally heaved a sigh of relief.
[You have killed the Tainted-Blood Fanatic Branca (Lv. 30, King-tier, Mutated). You have received 3,000,000 experience points!]
[You’ve leveled up!]
Ten golden lights rose from his body in a row. Lin Bei leveled up 10 times in a row and his level soared to Level 20!
[You have obtained the first kill of a King-tier Boss! A server-wide announcement is about to be made. Do you wish to remain anonymous?]
[Congratulations on obtaining the First Killing Treasure Chest (King-tier) x1! All basic attributes +20! All fixed attributes +2! Potential points +10! Gold coins +10,000!]
“Not anonymous!”
Right now, there was not much point for him to continue hiding. He was the only Level 20 player in the entire Heavenly Might server. Even if he remained anonymous, others would quickly discover that he was the one who got the First Killing.
Therefore, he simply chose to make it public.
This way, he could also increase his reputation and make it more convenient for him to recruit troops in the future.
“I didn’t expect to reach Level 20 so quickly. I can already enter the main city’s Temple Square in the vicinity for my first professional advancement.”
In Second World, every profession could advance once every 20 levels. After completing the advancement, in addition to activating some professional talents, the attribute points obtained every time he leveled up would also increase to a certain extent.
Of course, there were distinctions in professional advancement based on the difficulty levels. Just like talent, the highest was level-SSS and the lowest was level-F. The difference was huge.
However, the profession that players could advance to was related to the level of their innate talent. For example, Lin Bei had a level-SSS talent, so in terms of the choice of professional advancement, the highest professional advancement could be level-SSS. Those who were unlucky and only had a level-F talent could only progress to the most ordinary professional advancement. The difference was huge.
Of course, it did not mean that a level-SSS talent could successfully advance to a level-SSS profession. Under normal circumstances, the highest level of advancement in the main city’s Temple Square was only a level-B profession. If one wanted to advance to a higher level profession, one would need both strength and luck. Some needed to trigger hidden missions, and some needed special items.
Therefore, even in his previous life, many players with level-A talents could only advance to level-B professions in the end.
Professional advancements above level-B were also known as hidden professions by everyone. There were even some powerful advanced professions among them that were the only hidden professions.”
“I do know of a level-S hidden profession related to the professional advancement of Priests. Once we win the Bet Agreement, I can give it a try.”
Lin Bei glanced at his attribute list. After leveling up 10 times in a row, he had obtained a total of 100 basic free attribute points and 20 potential points. However, it was worth mentioning that he could not learn the skills of Priests at Level 15 and 20.
This was because in Second World, only Level 1 to 10 skills were automatically displayed in the skill column for players to learn. Skills above Level 15 required skill manuals to learn.
There were three ways to obtain Skill Manuals. One was to go directly to the main city’s Temple Square to buy them. The other was from killing monsters that would drop them. The other was by obtaining mission rewards.
However, even in the Temple Square, players could only buy some common skill manuals. If they wanted to buy advanced skill manuals, they needed a certain number of Temple Honor Points to unlock the purchase right.
However, this was all in the future. For Lin Bei, his priority was to farm as many monsters as possible to obtain equipment.
“I’ll win the agreement first!”
Lin Bei stepped forward. The dust had already dispersed, and the ground was covered with the loot that the Boss had dropped.
“That Blood Saber is also here!”
Lin Bei’s eyes lit up and he immediately went forward to pick up the Blood Saber.
[Tainted Blood Magic Blade (Lv. 30, Obsidian-grade). Attribute: Unidentified.]
It was indeed an Obsidian weapon!
However, its specific attributes still required identification.
Identifying an equipment required an appraisal skill or an appraisal scroll. Lin Bei did not have either, so he could only temporarily put away the Tainted Blood Magic Blade for later use.
“This is… the King’s Insignia!”
Suddenly, Lin Bei’s eyes focused on a golden token.
[King’s Insignia: A proof of great power. With it, one can exchange for unexpected benefits in the Holy Temple.]
“Haha! With this, I can change my profession to a hidden one!”
Lin Bei was overjoyed. The King’s Seal was usually dropped from the First Killing of a King-tier Boss. The First Killing mentioned here was the First Killing of a single Boss, not the First Killing of all King-tier Bosses. However, even so, it was still as difficult as ascending to the heavens for most players!
First of all, King-tier Bosses were not as common as cabbages that they could be found everywhere. Secondly, the First Killing of a King-tier Boss meant that one would not have any experience points and would have to figure it out on his own. This required a lot of time and effort. Other than that, these Bosses would usually be occupied by powerful guilds. No one else would have the chance to try it out. Lastly, and most importantly, strength. Without strength, one would not be able to kill the Boss. In this way, everything would be empty talk, let alone obtain the King’s Insignia!
In his previous life, it was only after a player broke through Level 100 and underwent their fifth professional advancement that they truly had the strength to challenge a King-tier Boss.
But now, the highest level players were not even Level 90. Other than some top players, no one else could hope to defeat a King-tier Boss!
“Sigh, what a pity for the Boss’s blood… This is a King-tier Blood. If I could collect it and combine it with the Mutated Blood, I could keep killing King-tier Bosses.”
Lin Bei sighed helplessly.
He had just tried to collect some Bosses’ blood, but the System notified him that the blood had been contaminated and could not be extracted. This made him feel extremely sad.
“Let’s see what else the Boss drops. After all, it’s the first killing. It should be pretty good.”
Lin Bei’s gaze landed on the shiny spoils of war on the ground.
However, just as Lin Bei was counting the loot, all the players in the entire Heavenly Might Server were bewildered by the System announcement that suddenly sounded in the sky.
[Server Announcement: Player Inner Peace has completed the first killing of the entire server’s King-tier Boss! Obtained the first killing reward!]
[Server Announcement: …]
[…]
Three consecutive server announcements resounded through the sky.
In a luxurious villa in Magic City, Green Collar, who was playing with Unparalleled Plume, had her phone vibrate. She looked down at the message and the smile on her face froze. She frowned.
“Green, what happened?”
Unparalleled Plume asked curiously.
“Sigh, Cousin, we… might have to consider selling the villa.”
Green Collar sighed, her face solemn.
“Huh?”
Unparalleled Plume was stunned.
Sell the villa?
‘Didn’t you say rent?’
