Chapter 39: First Kill with a Silver Weapon

Chapter 39: First Kill of the Silver-tier Boss

As the health of the leader of Heifeng Stronghold kept decreasing, Wu Shaochen suddenly remembered that there was a lucky scroll in his backpack, a great item that could increase the drop rate by 100%.

Different humanoid monsters drop items corresponding to their respective professions. For example, when he previously killed the strategist who was a mage, he obtained a bunch of mage equipment. Since the stronghold leader is an assassin, it's certain that assassin equipment will drop, especially since it's the first kill of a silver-tier boss, which grants a drop rate bonus. If he used a double drop rate scroll...

Wu Shaochen got excited just thinking about it and quickly took it out from his backpack, using it immediately. The drop rate bonus would last for 30 minutes, but the stronghold leader would probably only last another five minutes at most, so it didn't matter if he used it early.

The pitiful leader of Heifeng Stronghold, despite having great skills, couldn't unleash them and was tormented to death by the insignificant ant before him. Finally, he fell to the ground, feeling utterly frustrated.

"Ding! Congratulations on killing the silver-tier boss [Heifeng Stronghold Leader], earning 500 reputation points, 40,000 experience points, and your pet Silver Great Wolf gaining 10,000 experience points."

"Ding! Congratulations on leveling up. +40 HP, +20 MP, and 10 attribute points to distribute."

"Ding! Congratulations, your pet [Silver Great Wolf] has leveled up to level 14."

"Ding! Talent triggered: +1 poison damage, +1 stackable poison layer. Current poison damage is 428 points, and it can stack up to 4 layers."

"Ding! Immortal Body in effect, maximum HP increased by 1 point. Current Immortal Body has increased maximum HP by 577 points."

At the same time, a system-wide announcement echoed throughout the Huaxia server.

"Server-wide Announcement: Congratulations to player Chenfeng for killing the silver-tier boss [Heifeng Stronghold Leader]. As the first player to kill a silver-tier boss server-wide, the system rewards you with 1,000 reputation points, 30 gold coins, and 30 attribute points. This announcement is made to acknowledge your achievement!"

Perhaps due to becoming numb or not knowing the level of the Heifeng Stronghold Leader, this server-wide announcement, although still awe-inspiring, was not as hard to accept for the players as before.

"After such a long time, the legendary Chenfeng is back on TV."

"A true gem will always shine. It's hard for someone like Chenfeng to stay low-key!"

"Silver-tier boss, how did he find it? I haven't even encountered one yet."

"Silver-tier boss should be stronger than the bronze-tier, right? Any silver-tier equipment drops, Chenfeng?"

The chat channels in different regions instantly heated up, but there were no more skeptical voices.

In the city of Icewind, Junlin heard the server-wide announcement and sighed, "Indeed, even when he arrives in the main city, he's still unmatched."

"Yes, he's a myth in the game world now," Haoran sighed.

In the city of Qingshui...

A group of twenty players was besieging a massive sea turtle by the seaside: the level 12 bronze-tier boss [Deep Sea Giant Turtle].

The twenty-person team cooperated seamlessly, with a diverse range of professions and high damage output. What caught everyone's attention was that all twenty of them were women, each with their own beauty, constantly moving and attacking. Just watching them was a delightful sight.

Among the crowd, there was a woman wearing a white priest robe with a white veil on her face, like the most dazzling rose in a garden of flowers. Even among a group of beauties, she stood out.

With a simple wave of her hand, a healing spell instantly restored the health of a wounded warrior girl to full. The healing amount, reaching eight or nine hundred, would make any priest feel inferior. This was the key for their group of twenty to challenge the bronze-tier boss.

The warrior girl stuck out her tongue and said, "Sister Qīngwǔ, you're really wasted as a priest."

Helplessly, Dreamdance Qīngwǔ shook her head. She was once recognized as the top mage and initially planned to play as a mage in the game world. But fate played a joke on her and gave her a talent that increased healing effectiveness by 100%. She had to switch to the priest class; otherwise, it would be a waste of such a good talent.

"Alright, let's not talk about that. Being a priest is also good. It saves you guys, who have such lively personalities, from dying a couple of times," Dreamdance Qīngwǔ said.

"Who is this Chenfeng anyway? I've been playing online games for so many years and have never seen this ID before," another girl changed the topic. They all heard the server-wide announcement earlier.

"I don't know. I haven't heard of Chenfeng in the game before. Maybe it's a top player who changed their ID," a archer girl said.

At this moment, Dreamdance Qīngwǔ also became curious about this ID...

In the city of Jinling...

Austere World's expression darkened. "It's him again. It seems we need to restrict Chenfeng's growth, or it will definitely affect our development."

"Yes, but according to Zǐháo, Chenfeng always wears a mask. It's not easy to find him," Lone Peak of the Austere World said.

"We have tens of thousands of brothers in Jinling City. Are we afraid we won't be able to find him?" Austere World's Ruthlessness sneered.

"Yes, once we find him, let's see if we can recruit him. If we can't, then we'll destroy him. Jinling City is the territory of the Austere World, and I don't want anyone I can't control," Austere World's Dominance said coldly.

Meanwhile, Wu Shaochen didn't care about the outside world anymore. He was mesmerized, staring at the loot scattered on the ground. This was definitely the most loot he had ever obtained from a boss. It had piled up like a mountain.

With lightning-fast speed, he picked up all the dropped loot. Looking at his almost full backpack, Wu Shaochen started organizing it with excitement.

First, there were a whopping 8 gold and 52 silver coins, almost reaching the rewards for the first kill of the Wild Boar King. Then, there were 4 pieces of silver-tier equipment, 6 pieces of bronze-tier equipment, and 8 pieces of iron-tier equipment. He didn't pick up any white-tier items, but two skill books unexpectedly dropped. It must be related to using the lucky scroll; otherwise, it wouldn't be possible to get two skill books.

There were also two special scrolls, two attribute fruits, a strange potion bottle, a key, an unknown sheepskin scroll, and a skull needed for a quest.

This time, it really exploded. The player's backpack has 40 slots. The same materials and potions can be stacked up to 1000, taking up only one slot. And in the game, equipment drops are rare, so it's rare to have a full backpack. But Wu Shaochen's backpack is almost full just from the drops of this one boss, taking up more than half of it.

Excitedly, he checks the equipment...

Looking at these silver and bronze equipment, almost all of them can be used by Wu Shaochen. He squints his eyes, knowing that this wave of equipment is definitely a big upgrade. With all of these equipped, his strength will at least double. As for the black iron equipment, Wu Shaochen can't even be bothered to look at them.
