Chapter 101 [Sunshine Coast]
"Huh? It actually dropped a skill materialization card for me!"
"So that means it can drop, but it's just not a guaranteed drop?"
Wen Yu wasn't sure, but since it could drop a skill materialization card, he instantly felt that grinding this level 50 dungeon had become interesting again.
"Then next up, it's time for the Sunshine Coast."
"The name sounds like a nice place. After working so hard to get a skill materialization card, it's time for a beach vacation!"
...
Before even opening his eyes, Wen Yu felt sunlight spilling onto him. A sea breeze gently brushed his face, and the sound of waves crashing against the shore reached his ears.
"That's right! This is exactly how a beach should be in my mind!"
Wen Yu opened his eyes, ready to welcome this beautiful scene!
...
The beach was indeed as Wen Yu imagined, but what was with the crabs taller than humans along the coast?
"This is such an eyesore!"
"Ding!~"
The system didn't care about Wen Yu's complaints.
"You have entered [Sunshine Coast] on hell difficulty!"
"10-minute countdown! Start!"
...
Why is there a countdown for you too...
But now was clearly not the time for such thoughts. Wen Yu used Insight Technique to look around and found a small altar behind him.
[Sea Clan Altar]
Description: Sacrifice the heart of the sea clan to summon the Sea King!
Great! A collection-type dungeon. Collect Hearts of the Sea Clan, then fight the BOSS.
This was no different from the first task Wen Yu did after entering the game: collecting rabbit pelts.
"Collect Hearts of the Sea Clan to summon the Sea King. The Hearts of the Sea Clan should be found on these crabs in front of me."
Wen Yu had already used Insight Technique to look closely at the crabs. Their attributes weren't strong—high HP and defense, but not ridiculously so.
After being bombarded by Xuanwu, Baihu, and Qilin, Wen Yu felt the crabs' attributes were almost ridiculously weak.
However, they were positioned quite sparsely, so he couldn't finish the task instantly with a single skill.
He fired a Void Orb at the nearest crab.
Without surprise, it was blasted into debris.
-80,000
"Ding!~"
"Congratulations, you have obtained [heart of the sea clan]!"
After getting the heart of the sea clan, Wen Yu immediately ran toward the Sea Clan Altar.
Of course, Wen Yu didn't think a single [heart of the sea clan] would be enough to summon the Sea King.
He just wanted to see if sacrificing one would show how many were needed in total.
But the result was clearly unsatisfying. He placed the [heart of the sea clan] into the altar, and while it was undoubtedly absorbed, the system gave Wen Yu no prompts.
He looked at the dungeon countdown; only 9 minutes remained.
"Then let's start killing. I'll collect 100 first."
Decisively activating Magic Shield, Wen Yu charged toward the crabs.
The crabs were scattered, but thanks to the Space Blessing, Wen Yu's range was ridiculously large.
In just over a minute, he had collected exactly 100 Hearts of the Sea Clan.
Teleporting back to the altar, he placed the 100 newly acquired Hearts of the Sea Clan inside.
The change Wen Yu imagined still didn't happen. The altar, having devoured 100 Hearts of the Sea Clan, still looked lifeless.
"100 isn't enough? You're eating a bit too much."
He plunged back into the crab swarm!
While constantly casting skills, Wen Yu also continuously used teleportation without his feet touching the ground.
The system prompts rang incessantly in Wen Yu's ears.
"Congratulations, you have obtained [heart of the sea clan]!"
"Congratulations, you have obtained [heart of the sea clan]!"
"Congratulations, you have obtained [heart of the sea clan]!"
...
"200! This should surely be enough, right?"
He checked the remaining time; only 6 minutes and 2 seconds left.
"If this isn't enough, you're being really impolite..."
Of course, the altar didn't need to be polite to Wen Yu.
It devoured 200, and still, there was no reaction.
It stood ready for Wen Yu's next feeding.
...
Wen Yu didn't want to talk anymore. He turned around and continued killing.
Wen Yu also wondered if his method of clearing the dungeon was wrong.
But currently, it seemed the altar could devour the Hearts of the Sea Clan, and the crabs did indeed drop them.
Connecting all the information, Wen Yu could only conclude that he hadn't collected enough.
...
"300! If 300 isn't enough, I'm going to tear this altar down!"
Saying this, Wen Yu threw the 100 newly farmed Hearts of the Sea Clan into the altar again.
Perhaps Wen Yu's threat worked.
The altar finally emitted a deep blue glow.
"It worked. It actually required 300."
Wen Yu began to realize the difficulty of this dungeon.
"600 seconds! Collect 300! That's an average of one every two seconds! And I have to leave time to fight the BOSS!"
Wen Yu hadn't entered the final dungeon, [Cliff of Despair], yet, but the three dungeons he had experienced were far beyond what level 40 dungeons could compare to.
Although the crabs' attributes were relatively low, it depended on who they were being compared to.
Xuanwu, Baihu, and Qilin didn't care about logic.
"Maybe it's because at level 50, there's a chance to drop [skill materialization cards], so the dungeon difficulty has been significantly increased."
A roar came from the sea behind him!
Wen Yu turned to look.
He saw a member of the Sea Clan with a human upper body and a fish lower body, holding a massive trident, walking on the sea surface as if it were flat land, rushing toward the shore.
"Finally, the BOSS fight begins!"
He checked the remaining time; only 3 minutes and 48 seconds left.
However, the Sea King didn't seem to have any intention of coming ashore. He threw the trident in his hand toward the coast!
A massive pressure descended, and the crab swarm instantly exploded! They vanished without a trace!
"Ding!~"
"Cleared dungeon [Sunshine Coast], gained EXP +500,000"
"Congratulations, you have obtained [Heart-Piercing Dagger]"
"Congratulations, you have obtained [attribute materialization card] * 2"
"Congratulations, you have obtained [skill upgrade card] * 20"
"...?"
Holy cow! It's cleared! This BOSS is one of us!
Then why did he come out with that huge trident? Was it for a cutscene? He killed all the crabs wandering on the shore.
It's like he was cleaning house...
——————
Appearing at the Dungeon Teleporter, Wen Yu still hadn't snapped out of it...
Just like that, it's cleared. Well, that's fine; it wasn't as hard as imagined.
No need to reserve time for the BOSS fight, at most just a bit of time to run to the altar. One just needs to ensure a 10-person team can kill 300 crabs in 9 minutes.
Although it's still hard, without the BOSS, Wen Yu instantly felt that [Sunshine Coast] was a pushover compared to [Dragon Herding Prairie] and [Black Wind Desert].
I, Wen Yu, can't call you the strongest anymore.
"But it seems that even on hell difficulty, the drop rate for skill materialization cards isn't high at all. Three dungeons only gave one."
But Wen Yu didn't care. Anyway, he didn't have that many skills; he'd materialize them all eventually.
He looked at the last of the level 50 dungeons.
[Cliff of Despair]!
"Please be simple. Just hearing the name makes it sound like an unpleasant dungeon..."
***
Chapter 102: [Cliff of Despair]
Standing at the base of the [Cliff of Despair] and looking up, a long vine led straight to the summit.
Wen Yu already knew how to clear the [Cliff of Despair].
The moment he entered the dungeon, a system prompt had already sounded.
Wen Yu needed to kill all the monsters and successfully reach the top within 30 minutes!
"I don't see any monsters though?"
Judging by the dungeon's layout, it seemed Wen Yu was expected to slowly climb up along the vine.
"It can't be that I have to fight monsters while climbing, can it?"
After teleporting backward to distance himself from the mountain, Wen Yu finally got a clear view of the entire cliff!
Distributed across the roughly 800-meter-high precipice from top to bottom were five caves of varying sizes.
And the caves happened to be right next to the vine.
"It looks like the monsters are all inside the caves."
The countdown had already begun, and Wen Yu didn't have time for more deliberation.
Grasping the vine, he leaped upward with force, braced his feet against the wall, and began to slowly climb.
Wen Yu remembered there was a professional term for this type of rock climbing, but he couldn't recall it in the heat of the moment.
"To me, this dungeon should be the easiest one."
After all, in a dungeon that only required killing monsters, with Wen Yu's current damage, most of the time would certainly be spent on the climb.
In just two minutes, Wen Yu approached the first cave.
With a single teleport, Wen Yu safely entered the cave.
Once he steadied himself and looked up, giant bats hanging upside down from the cave ceiling appeared before his eyes.
[Cave Fruit Bat]
Level: 50
Health: 40,000
Magic Attack: 2,000
Defense: 1,000
Skills:
Ultrasound (The fruit bat emits a cry inaudible to humans, causing a Confusion effect on all enemy units within range for 5 seconds)
Wind Gust (The fruit bat flaps its wings to create a hurricane, dealing 100% magic damage to all enemy units within range and causing a knockback effect)
"Quite troublesome, having both Confusion and Knockback."
"It's a bit like the mechanics of the [Forest of Time]; while the [Forest of Time] tries to stop you from passing, the [Cliff of Despair] tries to slow down your killing..."
Against monsters flying in the air, Wen Yu knew his [Endless Black Hole] and [Ice Shard] would be slightly less effective.
Without hesitation, he opened with [Chain Lightning] and [Void Lock Target].
Instantly, 18 fruit bats perished, while the other bats, seeing this, all activated their skills!
Wen Yu finally witnessed the fruit bats' prowess; as he was instantly confused, he was also being continuously knocked backward.
Fortunately, Wen Yu's status resistance was high enough, with his equipment providing a full 45% resistance to abnormal statuses.
After only being confused for a little over 2 seconds, Wen Yu immediately regained his senses.
Looking back, he found he had almost been knocked back to the edge of the cave.
He decisively teleported deeper into the cave.
Explosive Stance!
Air currents rapidly pushed outward with Wen Yu as the center, shattering the low-flying bats while blocking out their Ultrasound.
While waiting for the cooldowns of Chain Lightning and Void Lock Target, Wen Yu continuously used Magic Missile and Void Orb to clear the bats in the air.
Finally, after Wen Yu recovered from his second bout of Confusion, he successfully wiped out all the bats.
Wen Yu continued deeper until he reached the very end, and only after confirming the monsters were indeed all dead did he turn back toward the exit.
By the time Wen Yu climbed to the second cave, another 3 minutes had passed.
"I hope it's not another flying thing; they're such a waste of time to kill."
He blinked into the cave as before.
Before he could even steady his footing, Wen Yu felt a heavy impact against his stomach.
It nearly knocked Wen Yu right off the cliff!
A damage value of -2567 floated above Wen Yu's head.
"Holy crap, what was that?!"
Looking down, he saw several pangolins staring intently at him, as if ready to attack at any moment.
Wen Yu immediately teleported deeper once more! Then, he instantly blanketed the area with Endless Black Hole.
Once most of the pangolins were dead, Wen Yu finally began to check their attributes.
[Cave-Dwelling Pangolin]
Level: 50
Health: 60,000
Physical Attack: 3,000
Defense: 2,000
Skills:
Rolling Impact (Crashes into the enemy dealing 150% physical damage and causing a knockback effect)
Mountain Splitter (Triggered when health is below 20%; the pangolin will dig a tunnel to leave the cave)
...
"Running away if they can't win?"
Fortunately, Wen Yu's attacks were all instant kills. If they had actually managed to dig a tunnel and escape, Wen Yu would have had no way to deal with them in the short term.
However, the pangolins' knockback effect was clearly stronger than the bats' from before; even the few remaining pangolins could knock Wen Yu back repeatedly.
It ended up costing Wen Yu a bit of time.
And so, after clearing the Cave Brown Bears in the third cave and the Fierce Tigers in the fourth cave, Wen Yu finally stood at the entrance of the fifth cave.
"I really have to vent—how on earth did you bears and tigers climb this high?"
It was a Make complaints (tucao) moment.
...
He glanced at the remaining time; there were 14 minutes left.
The fifth cave, however, was different from all the previous ones.
There were no "small animals" guarding the entrance.
The cave was so deep that Wen Yu couldn't see the end at a glance.
"It can't be like [Cave Adventure] where I have to navigate a map, can it?"
But since time was still sufficient, Wen Yu didn't intend to use teleportation to travel, fearing he might miss some clues along the way.
Refreshing his Magic Shield, he dashed toward the depths!
Not entirely to Wen Yu's surprise, after running for just a minute, the cave began to change.
Three diverging paths appeared before Wen Yu's eyes.
What truly surprised Wen Yu was that each fork in the road had a signpost.
[Snake Immortal's Abode], [Fox Immortal's Abode], [Weasel Immortal's Abode]
"Snake? Fox? Weasel?"
"Three BOSSes in one dungeon?"
While taken aback, Wen Yu didn't stop his pace and headed toward the leftmost [Snake Immortal's Abode] first.
The fork didn't extend very far before reaching its end.
And a massive coiled white snake appeared before Wen Yu's eyes.
[Snake Immortal] (Diamond BOSS)
Level: 45
Health: 420,000
Physical Attack: 5,000
Defense: 3,500
Skills:
Snake Molt (When encountering fatal damage for the first time, it will escape through molting)
Hunter's Mark (Marks an enemy unit, reducing their defense, movement speed, and attack power by 20%, and increasing damage taken by 10%)
Calamity of the Great Python (Transforms into a massive snake shadow that instantly pierces all units in front, dealing 200% physical damage)
"To think I'd encounter a Diamond BOSS in an Epic dungeon!"
This suddenly reminded Wen Yu of [Minotaur Castle], which also had one Platinum BOSS and two Gold BOSSes.
He felt a sense of relief for other average players; it had taken even Wen Yu a full 16 minutes to fight his way up from the bottom.
If three Epic BOSSes had actually appeared to block the way, it would be unplayable.
One might as well give up early and go for Abyss difficulty instead.
Two skills instantly took down the Snake Immortal.
After confirming that Snake Molt could only be used once and the Snake Immortal had no further chance of revival, Wen Yu continued toward the [Fox Immortal's Abode].
He had thought the Fox Immortal would be the Epic BOSS, but the result left Wen Yu greatly disappointed.
"A snake and a fox, and you're actually being bossed around by a weasel?"
After killing the fox and returning to the fork, Wen Yu headed straight for the final [Weasel Immortal's Abode].
However, as soon as he stepped into the third path, Wen Yu felt like he was about to be overcome by the stench.
...
"Holy shit! It reeks!"
***
Chapter 103: space set (Diamond)
Of course, it wasn't just a simple matter of it being stinky!
Wen Yu's vision was completely filled with yellow fog.
At the same Time, damage numbers were popping up above Wen Yu's head every second!
- 4038
- 4038
- 4038
"Damn it!"
Wen Yu decisively chose to retreat, leaving the fork in the road, which finally removed the continuous health-draining status.
"That's a relief. I must be protected by the power of the rules. As long as I leave the fork in the road, the poisonous gas can't enter my body."
Wen Yu possessed the "Friend of the Forest" poison resistance, yet he was still losing 4038 health per second!
"Something's not right. I must have missed something."
"Without 'Friend of the Forest,' I'd be losing over 8000 health per second. My shield value wouldn't even be enough to stand in the cave for a minute."
Other players wouldn't be facing "Touch of Certain Death," would they?
Wen Yu firmly believed he must have missed something.
However, it was clear that Wen Yu had no intention of finding the correct way to clear the dungeon.
If the BOSS wouldn't play by the rules, Wen Yu wasn't prepared to play by them either.
"I can understand you all now. Foxes, snakes... it's no wonder you were suppressed."
Refreshing his Magic Shield and activating Space Blessing, Wen Yu teleported directly into the fork in the road!
After teleporting in, he immediately unleashed his ultimate skill!
Then, he used Flashback to return outside the fork in the road.
He stood at the entrance, waiting for the "Space Wormhole" to wreak havoc.
Feeling that enough Time had passed, Wen Yu continued walking inside.
Forget the BOSS; even the yellow fog that caused continuous health drain was gone.
"Instantly killed. I didn't even have Time to check its stats. What kind of immortal are you supposed to be?"
Although he didn't have Time to check its stats, Wen Yu had already experienced the Yellow Immortal's ultimate move.
"I guess it was just a weasel's fart."
"And the stat panel isn't that hard to deduce, either."
Wen Yu currently had 1933 in both defenses. Without "Friend of the Forest," his health drain was 8076 per second.
It was easy to deduce the BOSS's attributes and trump card skill, which were likely:
Magic Attack: 10000
Poison release (dealing 100% magic damage to the enemy unit per second), or something similar.
However, Wen Yu still felt it was impossible that this BOSS was only meant to be fought this way; there must be other methods to reduce the damage from the poison per second.
If people like Ye Qian and Snake Granny couldn't kill the weasel quickly with their death immunity, they would still be finished once the skill duration ended.
But Wen Yu wasn't planning on slowly figuring out how to properly fight the BOSS.
Let the other players study it slowly later on~
There were no more unexpected events for the rest of the journey. Wen Yu successfully climbed to the summit!
"Ding!~"
"Dungeon 'Cliff of Despair' cleared. Experience +500,000."
"Congratulations on obtaining'Saint King War Boots'."
"Congratulations on obtaining 'attribute materialization card' * 2."
"Congratulations on obtaining 'skill upgrade card' * 24."
...
"Sigh, another day without a skill materialization card..."
What I get is my luck; what I lose is my fate.
Wen Yu didn't dwell on it too much.
As long as he could win, getting a skill materialization card was only a matter of Time.
However, it looked like the drop rate for skill materialization cards in Hell-difficulty dungeons was already down to 25%, and he didn't know if it would go any lower.
If the Abyss difficulty followed the same drop rate, it would be good if he could get one in 10 runs.
He shouldn't even bother thinking about the Hard and Normal difficulties.
——————
Returning to the "Dungeon Teleporter," Wen Yu used his newly obtained skill materialization card.
The skill he materialized was, of course, his trump card, "Space Wormhole"!
Currently, Wen Yu had single-target skills and AoE skills; all he lacked were skills to show off with!
Having finished the dungeon runs, Wen Yu began to summarize his Level 50 dungeon journey.
"The four dungeons took me about an hour and a half in total. 'Black Wind Desert' will undoubtedly be the dungeon that takes the longest to clear in the future."
"For me, the hardest dungeon should be 'Black Wind Desert,' right? With scorpions and spiders popping up from Time to Time to one-shot my NPCs, it's quite difficult to fight if I'm not fully focused."
"Actually, for other players, 'Black Wind Desert' should also be the hardest. The mechanism where mobs only attack NPCs and the BOSS only attacks players means that if the division of labor isn't clear, missing either side will instantly cause the dungeon to fail."
"Then it should be 'Dragon Herding Prairie.' The few holy beasts and auspicious beasts aren't easily dealt with either."
"After that, the difficulty of 'Cliff of Despair' is also significantly higher than 'Sunshine Coast,' but 'Cliff of Despair' is a 30-minute dungeon, while 'Sunshine Coast' only has a 10-minute countdown."
After leaving the dungeon, Wen Yu carefully recalled "Cliff of Despair" and finally realized that there might really be no other way to clear this dungeon.
It was possible that a Priest's healing spell could keep the health bar up, and with damage reduction or something similar, it might not be impossible to defeat the weasel.
But Wen Yu hadn't interacted with any Priests, so he wasn't sure.
The four dungeons gave Wen Yu 2 million experience points, bringing him to Level 45 (2,966,812 / 5,512,000).
Looking at what he could upgrade on himself, other than his level, it was the grade of his equipment.
Before the Novice Village battle, Wen Yu had spent several hours grinding "Strolling Chickens."
Combined with the high-intensity dungeon grinding over the past few days, although Wen Yu hadn't intentionally tried to raise his equipment grade, he had killed enough monsters above his own level.
At this point, his equipment grade had reached Platinum (21,048 / 30,000).
"I only need to kill 9,000 more monsters. Since that's the case! Today's goal will be to raise my equipment grade to Diamond!"
Continuing to teleport to Human King City, he arrived once again at the territory of the "Strolling Chickens."
"You guys look much more refreshing than the monsters in the dungeons!"
Without further ado, Wen Yu started the slaughter!
Several hours later, Wen Yu's level reached Level 47 (694,812 / 5,912,000).
His equipment grade had finally reached Diamond quality as he wished!

Chapter 104: First Kill of a Legendary BOSS!
When Wen Yu took off his helmet, he found that the Time had already reached 6:30 PM.
"Perfect timing! I can have dinner and just catch today's National News Broadcast!"
Wen Yu prepared to continue eating instant noodles. The news about "After Tomorrow" had only been announced nationwide last night.
Wen Yu didn't think many people would be delivering food today.
Even if someone was, he'd be starving by the Time it reached him.
He put the instant noodles into the pot.
Wen Yu immediately pulled up his attribute panel.
His panel, which had reached 100% manifestation!
[Wen Yu]
HP: 2090
MP: 2090
Physical Attack: 52
Magic Attack: 227730
Physical Defense: 413
Magic Defense: 413
Strength: 26
Intelligence: 113865
Agility: 14
Constitution: 209
While looking, Wen Yu also analyzed his situation.
"My current attributes are definitely terrifying."
"Even if everyone has full manifestation now, my level is much higher than Emperor's, let alone the others."
"So in terms of attributes, assuming no one has equipment and setting intelligence aside, probably no one can compare to me in constitution."
...
While eating his noodles, Wen Yu also browsed the forums.
Aside from those few pinned posts by Sharp Blade...
"List of Nine People Who Used Skills to Cause Chaos!"
"September 17th! A Glimpse of the Grandeur at the Entrance of the Shangjing Guild Office!"
"Newcomer asking: which guild is the strongest?"
Wen Yu first clicked on "List of Nine People Who Used Skills to Cause Chaos!", only to find it wasn't published by the state.
OP: There are only so many people who reached Level 30. By chatting with each other, we can clearly identify who hasn't logged back in since the skill manifestation.
1st Floor: Then let's observe a moment of Silence for them, hahahahaha!
The second floor listed the game IDs of those nine people.
"..."
Being dragged out to be lashed even after death...
"September 17th! A Glimpse of the Grandeur at the Entrance of the Shangjing Guild Office
OP: I spent the whole day squatting at the entrance of the Guild Office. Let everyone see what 'packed to the gills' really means! — (Video)
He clicked on the video.
The video was very long. Wen Yu obviously couldn't watch the full 7-8 hours.
However, he did witness the so-called "packed to the gills."
The entire entrance of the Guild Office was completely blocked. There were cordons set up by the police and the military, leaving only a small entrance/exit for business, while everywhere else was surrounded by the masses.
Driving through was impossible. If you wanted to get to the other side, taking a detour would probably be much faster.
Looking at it, Wen Yu clicked his tongue in amazement.
He dragged the video forward bit by bit.
Believe it or not, Wen Yu actually saw a familiar figure.
Emperor, leading Morning Star, walked through the business entrance and headed into the Guild Office.
He was holding documents, seemingly there to handle the establishment of a guild.
Both of them looked exactly as they did in the game.
"Doesn't anyone adjust their appearance?"
...
Today's National News Broadcast was also almost entirely centered around "After Tomorrow," showing some beautiful scenery from the game and videos of various skills being used to kill monsters.
It also reported on today's grand scene at the entrance of the Guild Office and called on everyone not to cause road congestion.
But Wen Yu felt that not being congested was impossible. The people's emotions couldn't be fully calmed in just one day.
To get everyone to accept it and for their moods to settle, Wen Yu felt it would take at least a week.
Finally, there were the routine interviews about the game.
But this Time, the interviewees were clearly not gamers, but ordinary people.
Perhaps it was also to comfort everyone through the National News Broadcast. The people interviewed were all those with a relatively high level of acceptance of the game manifestation.
After watching the National News Broadcast, Wen Yu sighed.
"The road is long and the task is heavy, Brother Rong."
——————
Putting on the game helmet again, Wen Yu chose to return to the city directly. With his equipment quality all reaching Diamond, he had no need to continue grinding monsters for now.
At the teleportation array, Wen Yu first checked the teleportation areas.
As Wen Yu expected, the Novice Villages had increased again, indicating that 1,000,001 to 1,050,000 were all filled with players.
Just today alone, the number of people who chose to buy helmets and register accounts was as high as over 100 million!
While Wen Yu was considering which Novice Village to go to for rabbit grinding, Li Jue's message came through.
"Brother Yu, you're online!"
"Yeah, went to watch the National News Broadcast. Didn't you watch it today?"
"No, it doesn't have much to do with me. I'm a total shut-in," Li Jue said lightheartedly.
Li Jue told Wen Yu that he had gone back to look for the map with no monsters that Wen Yu mentioned this morning. He actually found a monster whose attributes he couldn't see and came to ask Wen Yu if he wanted to fight it.
Of course he was going. Wen Yu also wanted to take the opportunity to see whose priority was higher: Li Jue's [Trace Amount] or his own [Insight]!
Arriving at the location Li Jue sent, Wen Yu saw Li Jue waving at him.
"You're quite the runner, finding a place like this."
Wen Yu couldn't help but complain; this place was too far.
He felt like he had run to the outskirts of Sunshine City.
"What kind of BOSS is it?"
"Looking at the name, it's a Legendary BOSS."
"...?"
What the heck?
Wen Yu stared blankly at Li Jue. "Do you even know what you're saying?"
Li Jue also saw the doubt in Wen Yu's eyes.
"Boss! It really is a Legendary BOSS! The level is the kind I can't see clearly at all."
Wen Yu knew...
His critical hit rate was probably going to reach over 90%...
...
After adding Wen Yu to the party, Li Jue led Wen Yu further ahead.
Two minutes later, the figure of a magical beast finally appeared in Wen Yu's sight.
The moment Wen Yu saw the beast, his eyes couldn't help but light up.
It was a pure white, horse-like magical beast, lying on the ground enjoying the sun's caress.
It had equally holy white wings on its back and a sharp horn about 10 centimeters long on its head.
It radiated a holy white light!
"My god, that's pretty cool!"
It's just that "After Tomorrow" didn't have a mount system; otherwise, Wen Yu could guarantee that no one could refuse a mount like this.
[Pegasus] (Legendary BOSS)
Level: 70
Introduction: The holy Pegasus, a symbol of the sky.
HP: 1,000,000
Magic Attack: 25,000
Defense: 10,000
Skills:
Silence (The horn glows red, silencing all enemy units within a 100-meter radius and reducing movement speed, attack, and defense by 50% for 10 seconds)

"..."
After seeing the Pegasus's skills, Wen Yu had to admit it was impressive.
"This is probably the ceiling for a Second-Tier Main City, with such terrifying skill chaining, massive HP, and magic attack."
Wen Yu recalled the [Demonized White Wolf King] from before.
The Pegasus's attack was only 5,000 less than the [Demonized White Wolf King], and its defense was 10,000 less. However, its skill damage and chaining were far beyond what the Demonized White Wolf King could compare to.
"It seems the White Wolf King after demonization should have been around a Level 70 BOSS as well."
However, for a BOSS with wings like the Pegasus, Wen Yu obviously had no intention of waiting for it to take off.
He directly fired a [Space Wormhole] straight at the BOSS!
-909597
-90403
Of the six segments of damage caused by [Space Wormhole], the Pegasus died by the second segment.
But Wen Yu was still very dissatisfied.
After the space set was upgraded, Wen Yu's critical hit rate was as high as 89%, a 1 in 10 chance of not critting.
This Time it didn't crit.
He didn't know what was up with this critical hit mechanic.
The Pegasus was absorbed by the rift, and the system prompt sounded immediately.
"Ding!~"
"Killed [Pegasus], EXP +600,000"
"Ding!~"
"Regional Announcement: Congratulations to player [Time] for successfully killing [Pegasus] and achieving the achievement [I Am Legend]! Reward: Reputation +2,000, 5,000 Gold!"
"As the first player to kill a Legendary BOSS! System reward: [Legendary First Kill Treasure Chest] * 1"
He told Li Jue to look around and see if anything dropped.
Wen Yu stayed where he was, lost in thought.
"Legendary first kill, I did it in a party with Li Jue. The EXP should have been split in half with Li Jue."
"But the achievement and the first kill treasure chest only credited me for the kill. It seems it's still based on the so-called last hit..."
After a while, Li Jue ran back. He brought three items with him.
[ring of destiny], [Holy Light Blade], [hidden class change scroll]
"There's even a hidden class change scroll?"
However, neither Wen Yu nor Li Jue could use it, so Wen Yu put it in his backpack.
He would find a chance to sell it later.
The Holy Light Blade sounded like a Berserker weapon, so Wen Yu didn't even bother looking at it.
He let Li Jue keep it to handle later.
