Ning Xi held five first-clear gift packs from the Scorpion Empire dungeon.
Lin Mo asked, "How much reputation does it take to amplify one pack?"
Ning Xi used pre-amplification on the gift pack and said, "58,320 points."
Lin Mo was stunned, "Holy crap! That much?"
You had to know: earlier, when Ning Xi amplified the drops from the level 48 third-tier boss Shadow Demon Scorpion King, it had only consumed 32,580 reputation points.
The amplification cost for a single gift pack was nearly twice that of a third-tier boss?
But that also proved one thing, "Does this gift pack have twice the value of the Shadow Demon Scorpion King?"
At that moment, Ning Xi said, "Brother Lin Mo, I'll use the amplification and open one first to see."
"Alright."
So, under Lin Mo's expectant gaze, Ning Xi amplified and opened one of the gift packs.
[Ding~ SSS-level talent Nine-Five Supreme triggered. Consumed 58,320 reputation points to activate reward amplification. Congratulations! You opened the Scorpion Empire dungeon first-clear gift pack and received tenfold rewards: Gold +800, Crystal Cores +2000, B-rank Skill Book +10!]
'Holy crap!'
'B-rank skill books?'
'Ten of them?'
Lin Mo had once again prepared himself mentally beforehand.
But he was still shocked.
After all, in his previous life, Lin Mo had been nothing more than an ant at the bottom of the food chain in Divine Oracle. Among the "Four Talented Players" of Blazing Ember City, he hadn't even touched a first-clear gift pack once.
He clearly hadn't expected this.
"The first-clear gift pack from the Scorpion Empire dungeon can actually drop B-rank items?"
Don't be fooled by the fact that Lin Mo had SSS-level skills all over his body.
That only applied to Lin Mo, who possessed an SSS-level talent.
You had to know that at this stage, in the entire Blazing Ember City, or more accurately, the entire world of Divine Oracle, at least 99% of players only had the two E-rank basic class skills they learned from their instructors during their first job change.
Players who possessed D-rank skills were extremely rare.
Without exaggeration, at this stage, even C-rank skills could already be considered god-tier skills.
Not to mention B-rank skills.
At this moment, looking at the ten B-rank skill books Ning Xi had opened from the gift pack, Lin Mo couldn't help but feel extremely lucky.
'Good thing I didn't hesitate over those five thousand gold coins and upgraded Ning Xi's talent to the third stage, unlocking this reward amplification effect.'
'In that case, every first-clear gift pack should produce one B-rank item. With tenfold amplification on all five packs, that means fifty of them.'
'Once we open these five gift packs, the extra ninefold value we gain should basically make up for the five thousand gold coins I invested in upgrading Ning Xi's talent.'
Just as Lin Mo's heart burned with excitement, Ning Xi poured another bucket of cold water on him.
"Brother Lin Mo, I'm out of reputation…"
Lin Mo could calculate it too.
Amplifying the boss and amplifying one gift pack had already cost more than ninety thousand reputation. On top of that, Ning Xi had also been using damage amplification while killing monsters.
The reputation she had left now was probably less than thirty thousand points.
"Then we'll store the remaining gift packs first and open them once we have enough reputation," Lin Mo said.
Ning Xi nodded, "I'm not worried about the gift packs. I'm worried about amplifying that quest."
"The amplification quest needs 280,000 reputation points, and there's only a little more than two days left for the quest! Will we still make it in time?"
"It's fine. There's enough time," Lin Mo said casually, "I'll take you to farm reputation in a bit."
To ordinary players, 280,000 reputation points was something they would never achieve in a lifetime.
But for Ning Xi, who had a hundredfold reputation bonus, with a bit of money and some effort, it might not even take a full day.
So Lin Mo immediately posted a message in Blazing Ember City's chat channel—
[Rulebound (Male, Lv41 Second-Turn Soul Archer · Heavenly Ranking No.1): "100,000 for elite monsters, 500,000 for Tier 1 BOSSES, 1 million for Tier 2 BOSSES, 3 million for Tier 3 BOSSES. Unlimited purchases! Send location, get paid!"]
Just a second earlier, countless players in the chat channel had still been talking about how the level 48 dungeon Scorpion Empire had just been cleared for the first time.
The next second, all their attention was completely drawn to the pinned message from the number one player on the Heavenly Ranking!
[Just Want a Carry (Male, Lv30 Second-Turn Holy Knight):
"Holy crap! I just noticed Rulebound is already level 41? What the hell… did he enter the game a few days before Divine Oracle even launched?"]
[Peppa Pig Matches Me (Male, Lv31 Second-Turn Healer):
"So the boss means he only buys the information but doesn't kill it himself? As long as we find a BOSS and send the location, we get paid?"]
[Just Want to Be on Top (Female, Lv30 Second-Turn Fantasy Mage):
"Wow! Brother Rulebound is so powerful!"]
[Dinosaur Carries Wolf (Male, Lv31 Second-Turn Thief):
"Big bro, are you serious? I just found an elite monster and was about to kill it. If you really pay 100,000, I'll sell it to you."]
Money really was a wonderful thing.
Within Blazing Ember City, elite monsters and BOSSES were everywhere.
But because the territory was so vast, if Lin Mo searched for them himself, he might not even find one in an entire day.
Yet the moment he posted this purchase message, he immediately received a large number of private messages.
Players from all over were telling him they had elite monsters or BOSSES for sale.
If it had been an ordinary player or an anonymous message, people might not have believed it.
But the credibility of the Heavenly Ranking's number one, Rulebound, was unquestionable
Even though doing this exposed his identity, Lin Mo didn't care at all.
With the NPC army escorting him, he wasn't worried about Wang Junjie attacking.
Lin Mo also didn't waste time.
After confirming the authenticity through screenshots, videos, and other evidence, once he verified that the elite monster or BOSS was real, he immediately paid those players a 10% deposit.
Then he made an agreement with them: the remaining payment would be settled after he arrived.
From that point on, Lin Mo no longer needed to wander around searching for prey himself.
He simply followed the coordinates sent by those players and headed straight to the designated locations.
Meanwhile, right after Lin Mo cleared the dungeon and triggered the system announcement, before long, Dragon Soul Aoshi, who had caught wind of it, sent him a message.
["Carry?"]
["Wait a bit first,"] Lin Mo said, ["I can't carry you yet. When I can, I'll let you know."]
["Alright."]
By following behind Lin Mo, the members of the Dragon Soul guild had also eaten quite a bit of good meat.
And Lin Mo was more than happy to keep carrying them and continue earning expensive power-leveling fees and dungeon-clear gift packs from Dragon Soul Aoshi.
But right now, even with Lin Mo and Ning Xi working together, it had taken more than two hours just to clear the Scorpion Empire dungeon.
So if he wanted to carry the Dragon Soul members through the dungeon, Lin Mo first needed to raise his own level and strength.
And while farming reputation for Ning Xi, it was also the perfect opportunity for Lin Mo to develop himself and improve his power.
Thus, next, Lin Mo and Ning Xi transformed into BOSS harvesting machines, roaming across the entire Blazing Ember City region and slaughtering BOSSES everywhere.
And this time, Lin Mo's influence was almost no less than when Wang Junjie had issued a citywide ten-million bounty to find Lin Mo.
Countless players across Blazing Ember City responded to Lin Mo's call and rushed out of the city to search for BOSSES in the wilderness.
After all, just finding one elite monster would earn them 100,000 yuan.
A Tier 1 BOSS was worth 500,000.
A Tier 2 BOSS was worth 1 million.
A Tier 3 BOSS was worth 3 million.
"Brothers, today's the day we get rich!"
"Everyone get out there and find BOSSES!"
