Boss Mode

Editor: Atlas Studios

"There's no need to delay, we'll withdraw now. You just need to do me a favor to complete your mission today," said Xiao Yu, throwing the Elemental Seed over to her. "Help me bring this thing out and send it to my system warehouse."

"Eh, what's this?" Shadow Chaser caught it and took a look.

[Elemental Seed: mission object, use—trigger a mission.] There was a corresponding description on it.

She was instantly shocked. Obviously, she knew the game, and her face immediately showed a look of surprise. "Good stuff."

At the same time, she heard the sound of a system prompt message.

System prompt message: Mission triggered—retrieve the Elemental Seed. Bring it back to Cenarius Council in Darnassus to get a reward.

"That's a good thing, of course. That's why I asked you to bring it out. You're a Night Elf, and you should have accepted the mission by default. That's why you can take it and not have to be afraid of being robbed by others."

Moon Scar•Shadow Chaser gave a ponderous smile. "Aren't you afraid that I might embezzle it?"

Xiao Yu said without changing his facial expression, "If you think it worth $10,000, you can embezzle it, and I'll take it as if I sold it to you." Honestly, he was a little worried. It was hard to value this thing, mainly because he had never heard of similar things before. It might be worth a lot of money. If he met the right buyer, it could be sold for tens of thousands dollars. For example, when his Demonic Blaze Overlord character was still existing, he would've definitely spent tens of thousands of dollars if he saw this Elemental Seed. However, the problem was that there were only a few Monster Mode players of Elemental Overlord level in the game, and this thing could not be used on anything except for Elemental Creatures. Hence, it was not easy to find a buyer.

He bet that Moon Scar•Shadow Chaser would not be willing to pay a liquidated damage of $10,000 for an uncertain thing.

As he expected, Moon Scar•Shadow Chaser shrugged her shoulders after listening to Xiao Yu. "Forget it, it looks beautiful, but who knows what can it mutate to? Besides, someone has to be willing to buy it."

Then she put away the Elemental Seed. "Then I'll withdraw. I'm not responsible if you die."

"Don't worry, I have a way to escape." Xiao Yu was relieved when he saw Moon Scar•Shadow Chaser disappear again. As long as the Elemental Seed was safe, he was not afraid to die now. Of course, it was better not to die—he would still struggle to survive anyway.

As he thought, he turned around and walked towards the Night Whisper Shrine.

When Xiao Yu reached the shrine square, he saw that the Archdruid was knocked to the ground by a group of attackers.

Manster Moonwalker (Archdruid) said, "Though I'm dead, the will of the Nature Spirit will last forever—ah!"

With a scream, the giant bear fell on the ground and was dead.

[System prompt message: Firmament Age 1375, Goblin Eric, Gnoll Derek, Wild Beasts Death Claw, Beowulf, and Teddy broke the Night Whisper Shrine, and jointly killed Archdruid Manster Moonwalker at Night Whisper Village. The Night Elves' force at the land of Aizelasi was severely hit. This event has been recorded in the Firmament Archive.]

[System prompt message: You have taken part in killing Archdruid Manster Moonwalker, you have received 73 Reputation Points.]

[System prompt message: Plot event participated and completed—Night Whisper Village's Danger. According to your performance, you have received 235 Reputation Points.]

[System prompt message: Your relationship with the alliance has worsened. Your relationship with the Night Elves has changed from hostile to deadly enemy.]

[System prompt message: Your Reputation Points has reached the limit. Your Mode will be advanced to Boss Mode (Primary), with an HP bonus 500%, an increase in damage dealt by 30%, and a reduction in damage received by 30%.

You can activate the dungeon creation system. From now on, you can join the dungeons that are created by others, or create your own dungeon.

You can activate the Boss skill system. You can now advance your skills to Boss Skills.]

The sound of a series of system prompt messages made Xiao Yu hardly digest all the messages, and his face instantly showed a trace of joy. He had thought that he was going to die tonight, but now he found that he had a chance to survive.

"Haha, cool, I've finally advanced to Elite Mode," Derek cried with excitement.

"Me too." Teddy and Beowulf were also very excited. Both of them had successfully advanced to Elite as well, and their strength was greatly improved.

But Death Claw was a bit depressed. He was only a few dozen Reputation Points away from advancing to Boss Mode.

Boss Mode was a dividing crest. Once one advanced to Boss Mode, it meant that they had the ability to fight against a player team alone. Even if it was of the lowest level of Boss Mode, one's strength would be much higher than that of the Elite or Rare Elite monsters. Not only was the received damage reduction bonus much higher, but the HP would be increased by several times. In addition, one would have the permission to activate dungeons and Boss Skills.

Currently, Xiao Yu did not need the Dungeon Creation System. It was not so simple to create a dungeon, but the Boss Skill System was very crucial.

As a Boss, one could advance the skills it currently had to Boss skills. Once advanced to Boss skills, the power of a useless garbage skill could be instantly increased by several times. Its effect is similar to that of the Overlord skill or Hero skill—it was not only powerful, but also could not be interrupted by the interrupting skills.

Although Xiao Yu was only a primary Boss now, and could only advance one Boss skill, it was very useful.

Among the many skills he had learned, there were only two which were worth advancing: Flame Missile and Summon of Fire Elemental.

Considering the current situation, Xiao Yu decisively chose to advance Flame Missile to Boss skill.

System prompt message: Your Flame Missile has successfully advanced, please select the skill route you want to advance to.

Advance Skill 1: Advance Flame Missile to Flame Missile Storm! The number of flame missiles you gather will be greatly increased. You can gather dozens of flame missiles at one time, and attack the enemies around you at random.

Advance Skill 2: Advance Flame Missile to Flame Bomb! The power of the flame missiles you gather will be increased greatly. Each of the flame missiles can cause a 50 points fire damage, and deal half of the damage to the surrounding targets.

The first choice was to increase the number of flame missiles. It would allow him to launch dozens of flame missiles at a time with a tracking effect. It was definitely an instakill effect to deal with a small number of Adventurers. But if there were more, the damage would be easily dispersed, and he might not even be able to kill any of them.

The second choice was to improve the quality of the flame missiles. Not only would the damage be increased to 50 points, it would also have a splash effect, which was very useful when fighting a group of players. Furthermore, the splash effect could be stacked. If he used this skill when a group of Adventurer players was squeezed together, that scene would be happy to imagine.

So, which should he advance to?
