Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“The team of Starfire, led by Starfire, team members: Eternal Beauty, Blue Dream, Dreamlike, and Little Raindrop have achieved the first small team humanoid boss kill in the Illuminated Continent and have received the World Brilliance Achievement. ”
“The team of Starfire, led by Starfire, team members: Eternal Beauty, Blue
Dream, Dreamlike, and Little Raindrop have achieved the first kill of the Troll
Priest Skakir, gaining glory and increasing the reputation of their race to Revered.”
The dazzling rainbow screen blinded the eyes of all online players.
“It’s Starfire again, will they ever let others live?”
“In awe of the great Starfire.”
“Please take my kneeling.”
“I am a beauty, hunting for the great Starfire to beat the boss.”
Not just ordinary players, all the major guilds and clubs are in chaos. Everyone who can contact the Qionghua Club is asking if Starfire has joined the Qionghua Club.
Once they received a negative answer, many guild leaders breathed a sigh of relief. This Starfire is too fascinating, they started to think about ways to bring Starfire under their command.
The team members were all overwhelmingly excited, especially Li Jia, Little Raindrop, and Blue Dream, all of whom successfully leveled up to level four. The experience of a level four boss is too generous.
Noticing his experience raise by 14%, Li Yao was considering whether he should devise a way to kill a few more bosses to level up, as this is far more efficient than group monsters.
A roar of fury, however, ruined everyone’s good mood.
“Why, why am I not on the announcement? I participated in killing the boss too.” Roaming Dragon’s eyes had turned red. This was a world-class announcement, a first kill achievement, a reputation to be gained, but why was he excluded?
Blue Dream puzzled, but squinted her eyebrows: “Why are you yelling at us? World announcements are not up to us to decide, they are automatically announced by the system. Player fame is not the concern, not even character names can be hidden. If you have the ability, go complain to the system.”
“Yes, complain to the system.” Roaming Dragon began contacting customer service, but customer service could not help with such matters.
Frankly, customer service is merely for answering inquiries, not for resolving issues. The company’s executives, let alone the administrator of an area, would not have any authority to amend data.
The main server is independent once it is running, then locked in a certain
base. Even the president cannot interfere, let alone customer service.
It can be said that only the system can dictate version updates, and data maintenance. The company can only obtain some relatively independent rights, like holding matches in an arena, using certain sites, but altering data is off-limits.
“What a trash game, and the company doesn’t fix their bugs, damn it!” Roaming Dragon was furious.
Of course he’s angry. He died twice today, the loot from the hunter was Li Yao’s and he was left out of the world announcement. Absolutely miserable.
Li Yao saw that Roaming Dragon was somewhat distracted, and explained: “Actually it is very easy to understand. After you were killed, you did not re-enter the battle, so the system identified you as a bystander.”
“If it wasn’t for the poison fog blocking me, could I have avoided battle? Clearly knowing that I had gotten killed, you guys didn’t wait for me, blocked the entrance, it was obviously intentional.” Roaming Dragon was furious, glaring at Li Yao, “I knew you had it out for me right from the start. You are the one in command, it must have been intentional, everything was calculated. Killing me, then blocking the valley entrance…
Li Yao is left dumbfounded, just now he had led people to find a spot and saw the graveyard, he even timed it. It was clearly this jerk trying to stall, in order to cause Li Yao to fail on killing the boss. But the blame is shifted onto Li Yao. Being reincarnated, he wouldn’t bother plotting against such small fishes. He is just not qualified.
Blue Dream erupted in expletives once more, “Are you mad? You die, and you want us to wait for you. How do we wait? Tell me, so I can learn. This jerk, really nonsense.”
“Okay, okay, everyone’s in one guild, yet you stand on the side of outsiders, good, very good. I’ll let the guild leader and manager know about today’s incidents, you few worthless people. I saved you out of kindness, fell two levels, and instead of being thankful, you team up against me. Absolutely ungrateful filthy ** , wait.”
Roaming Dragon disappeared on the spot before finishing his sentence. As evident, he was forced to log out by the system for excessive use of vulgarities.
The other team members are now stunned speechless.
“He’s a character.” Li Yao shook his head and refrained from commenting since it was a private matter for their club.
“What should I say, the big boss is right by their side, yet he seeks the guild leader and manager, this…” Blue Dream was speechless.
Little Raindrop was saying blankly: “Didn’t sister say that the club and guild matters are managed by the guild leader and manager? What’s wrong with him seeking the guild leader and manager?”
Li Yao covered his face. Is this really the raid guide goddess, Little Raindrop, who has written countless raid guides and is respected by countless players, she’s so cute and innocent, simply unbelievable…
“Stupid little sister.” Blue Dream didn’t know what to say anymore, letting the manager and the guild leader manage the boss, how?
At this moment, guild leader Snow Plum initiated a call. Eternal Beauty didn’t hide anything and played it to the team voice.
“Boss, Zhao Long just said a lot of unpleasant things about you guys, what’s going on? Also, how did you get to know Starfire? Are you planning to draw him closer to our club? This world announcement is too important for us. We’ve attempted it several times without success. As soon as you take action, it’s all settled.”
This time, Blue Dream covered her face, Roaming Dragon was done for. He didn’t even know who he was going to slander.
Sure enough, they heard Eternal Beauty saying, “Don’t poach people from Prosperous era again in the future, remember that. As for Starfire, it was a coincidence this time. He may not join us. Alright, that’s all, we’re busy checking the loot from the boss.”
“Don’t hang up, let me have a look too, boss.” Snow Plum hurriedly said.
Eternal Beauty added Snow Plum to the team.
Eternal Beauty looked towards Li Yao and said, “Commander, quickly loot the corpse. I don’t want the items to be refreshed.”
None of them mentioned Roaming Dragon, but they all knew that Zhao Long was done for. Cursing the boss, being disliked by him.
First of all, he’s disposable. Even if he had capabilities, there’s no way that the guild leader and manager would employ a person like him.
Li Yao nodded and began to loot the corpse amid everyone’s anticipation. The first item appeared in the team.
Silver Scale Breastplate
Quality: Blue Excellence
Armor: 46
Endurance: 9
Strength: 6
Equipment Level: 4
Equipable Professions: Knight, Warrior, Death Knight
“These attributes are really out of this world.” Snow Plum exclaimed.
“Absolutely MT’s top grade, high armor and attributes, worthy of being a boss loot.” Blue Dream added.
“There is only one protection paladin in the team. This breastplate belongs to Eternal Beauty. Does anyone else have an objection?” Li Yao asked.
Everyone nodded, so Li Yao assigned the breastplate to Eternal Beauty.
“You, do you know the worth of this breastplate, && parad isn’t you just giving it to me?” Holding the breastplate, Eternal Beauty was stunned. She had even made up her mind to pay for it just now, but didn’t expect Li Yao to be so straightforward.
“The rules we set before, once established, they must be adhered to. Look, there’s more.”
Li Yao took out the second item.
Sacrificial Shield
Quality: Superior Blue
Damage reduction: 20%
Armor: 64
Intelligence: 6
Special effect: Blessing Shield, healing releases a shield, absorbs 1.5 magic strength’s worth of damage.
People exclaimed once again. What they saw before was already a surprise, but they didn’t expect this healing shield to be even more amazing.
“I’m sure this is currently the best equipment for healers,” Xue Mei’s voice trembled.
“The healing shield used by Paladin and Shaman healers, let’s give this equipment to Blue Dream, if you all don’t mind,” Li Yao asked seriously.
Little Raindrop and Li Jia were naive and ignorant, but the other three rolled their eyes, what objection could they possibly have, they were eager for that.
“Now, the next item.” Li Yao touched the corpse again.
“There’s more?” Instant Beauty was surprised.
“Of course, this isn’t any ordinary dungeon boss. It’s a field boss, the loot it drops, whether in quantity or quality, is stronger than dungeon loot.” Li Yao spoke from experience. Field bosses were hard to kill, but that also meant they dropped much more.
Summon Iron Stone Demon: Summon an Iron Stone Demon to fight for the summoner.
“Little girl, you’re in luck. This Stone Demon is stronger than most main tanks out there, it’s a rare summoning spell.” Li Yao explained. Summoning Stone Demon is one of the favorite pets of ordinary summoners; it has high health, defense, and attack damage, and can reflect damage. It’s very powerful and contrary to the heavens except for its turtle-like moving speed.
In his previous life, since it was a drop from field bosses, the price of this skill book remained high, and many summoners had to strive for a long time to purchase a stone demon skill book.
With the skill book in her hands, Little Raindrop was laughing so hard her eyes were narrowed.
Rain of Fire: Summons flames from the void, causing continuous fire damage to enemies in range.
“Little Jia, you’re in for a treat too. Even less warlocks have learned an AoE spell now.”
As for rarity, Rain of Fire did not lag far behind the Summon Iron Stone Demon. A Warlock who had learned this spell could clear mobs in a dungeon with higher damage than a Mage’s Blizzard.
“I can’t believe there’s more,” Blue Dream gasped as she saw Li Yao touch the corpse again.
“What, I’ve got nothing so far, how could there be nothing?” Li Yao laughed, and touched the corpse again.
Teeth of the Poison God
Quality: Purple Epic
Strength: 18 Agility: 18
Stamina: 16
Poison Sting: Deal additional 30% poison damage upon attack.
Equipment level: 5
Professional requirement: Hunter, Shaman, Druid, Rogue, Martial Monk Description: This is where the essence of the Poison God resides after its avatar’s death.
The women went wild. This was their first time seeing a purple item and its attributes were outrageous.
“High strength and agility, plus 16 stamina, each point of stamina equals 10
HP, that’s 160 HP! I want to die, with my equipped gear I only have 180.”, Blue Dream coveted it but the problem was that paladins couldn’t equip it. She was close to tears.
Instant Beauty took a deep breath and said, “Just the super high attribute bonuses alone can significantly boost one’s strength at this stage, and it is an extremely rare jewelry piece. The key is the 30% bonus damage, whoever wears this necklace can deal an extra 30% damage, I haven’t seen other epics, but I’m sure this piece is among the finest even among epic items.”
Remember, at this stage, most players didn’t even have a single piece of jewelry.
“We have two paladins, a summoner, and a warlock in our team. None of us can use it. Plus, it was agreed earlier that the loot usable by a hunter will be mine.” Li Yao grinned as he picked up the necklace.
“Hold on, Starfire, don’t act rashly,” Snow Plum who was still in shock completely lost her composure as the president of one of the top ten guilds in Huaxia. She screamed, “We, the Qionghua Guild, will buy it, name your price.” “Yes, don’t rush, we’ll buy it,” Blue Dream added.
Li Yao stroked the tooth on the pendant, hung it on his own neck, and said, “I never said I was selling.”
In his previous life, the Teeth of the Poison God were known as the little artifact. Many players would wear it until level 50 before they could bear to change it. According to the data released by the official, the drop rate of this artifact from killing Skakir was one in ten thousand, the odds were incredibly low.
Li Yao was also surprised to get this equipment. This boss respawned once a week. A large guild camped this boss’s respawn for two years and killed it more than a hundred times before getting one. That was considered lucky, some guilds were even more tragic, they couldn’t get it no matter how many times they killed it.
With this kind of an item, how could Li Yao sell it.
“100,000, 100,000 credit points,” Snow Plum loudly declared.
“Not selling,” Li Yao shook his head.
“150,000,” Snow Plum gritted her teeth.
Seeing that Li Yao showed no interest at all, Instant Beauty said, “Enough Snow Plum, stop. Put yourself in his shoes and think about it, would you sell if you got this kind of gear?”
Snow Plum didn’t respond, she obviously knew that with this little artifact, one could create a super elite, its value was immeasurable.
“Come, let’s see if there’s anything else.” Li Yao touched the corpse again, thinking in his heart, my little sister indeed is my lucky star.
When he was planning after his rebirth, he had thought about this little artifact, but as it was too difficult to get, he did not include it in his plans. Even when he agreed to confront this boss earlier, he didn’t expect it to drop. However, life is always full of uncertainties, even a rebirth can’t predict everything….
