[Announcement(Blazing Ember City): "Ding~ Congratulations to player Rulebound (Liuli) for accumulating more than 10 BOSS kills, achieving the achievement BOSS Butcher (Beginner), reward obtained: Gold +10, Reputation +10, obtained the white title · Slayer!"]
[Announcement](Blazing Ember City): "Ding~ Congratulations to player Rulebound (Liuli) for accumulating more than 50 BOSS kills, achieving the achievement BOSS Butcher (Intermediate), reward obtained: Gold +30, Reputation +50, obtained the green title · Slayer!"
[Announcement(Blazing Ember City): "Ding~ Congratulations to player Rulebound (Liuli) for accumulating more than 100 BOSS kills, achieving the achievement BOSS Butcher (Advanced), reward obtained: Gold +50, Reputation +100, obtained the blue title · Slayer!"]
The system announcements kept ringing out over the skies of the Blazing Ember City.
Countless players across the entire city began doubting their own lives.
"My god! Are Rulebound and Liuli demons or something? Are they planning to wipe out every BOSS family in the Blazing Ember City? How many BOSSes have they killed already? And they're still killing?"
"No wonder they're ranked first on the Heavenly Ranking. These two big shots are insanely strong."
The attention of every player in the city was focused on Rulebound and Liuli, the two top players of the Heavenly Ranking.
———
Eastern Wilderness of the Blazing Ember City—
A group of Dragon Soul guild players who were killing monsters for quests had completely lost the mood to fight. They gathered together and started gossiping.
"Damn! How did Liuli, the number one on the reputation leaderboard, get more than 400,000 reputation now?"
"Can killing a hundred BOSSes really give over 400,000 reputation?"
"No way! Absolutely impossible! I calculated it before! According to Divine Oracle's settings, killing a Tier-1 BOSS only gives about 30–40 reputation; a Tier-2 BOSS only gives 50–60; a Tier-3 BOSS gives roughly 100 reputation."
"Even if you add up the profit from one hundred BOSSes, at most it's only a few thousand reputation, not even ten thousand. Something's wrong with this Liuli."
While the Dragon Soul players were talking nonstop, Dragon Soul Aoshi walked over and said something.
"It's not that there's a problem."
"If nothing unexpected happened, Liuli should have a one-hundred-times reputation bonus talent."
The moment he said this, shocked voices erupted everywhere.
"Holy crap! No wonder Liuli's reputation number has always been so ridiculously high."
"With that much reputation, how many top-tier pieces of equipment could you make?"
"If we could poach Liuli into our Dragon Soul guild, everyone in our guild could be equipped with top gear anytime."
"Poach someone from Rulebound? Are you crazy? Forget strength, the guy is powerful financially too. And both of them are in the Divine Nation guild now. Try to steal someone from Divine Nation? You want the boss to die or what?"
"Today alone, Rulebound bought 87 Tier-1 BOSSes, 15 Tier-2 BOSSes, and 3 Tier-3 BOSSes."
"I did the math. Based on the prices he mentioned himself, 500,000, 1 million, and 3 million each, he spent a full 67.5 million RMB just buying those BOSSes."
When this conclusion came out, all the Dragon Soul players present sucked in cold breaths.
"Damn! Who would've thought this Rulebound is actually a big shot with real strength too. I kept hearing Wang Junjie rambling about him before, so I always thought he was just some broke loser in real life."
"You believe Wang Junjie's words? I'd sooner believe I saw a line of mother pigs jumping into a ditch. If he didn't have some real power in real life, could he be doing this well in Divine Oracle?"
"Is it possible that he really was just an ordinary guy before, and all this money was earned inside the Divine Oracle game?"
"The game hasn't even been open for a week yet. No matter how capable you are, could you earn tens of millions in just a few days?"
"He made more than tens of millions just from our boss alone, didn't he? And Wang Junjie also seemed to have been scammed by him quite a bit."
At this moment, Dragon Soul Aoshi finally realized something.
"No wonder the Ling Group values Rulebound so highly."
———
At the same time.
Ning Xi felt a little distressed.
"Brother Lin Mo, did we spend a lot of money buying those BOSSes?"
Lin Mo said, "We did spend quite a bit, but we also got quite a lot back."
All the BOSSes Lin Mo bought were ones that had never been killed before. The first kill of this kind of BOSS was extremely valuable.
More than one hundred BOSSes.
All the gold coins, equipment, and resources they dropped together had an estimated total value of around 50 million.
Which meant Lin Mo's actual expenditure was less than 20 million.
Lin Mo had already estimated the value of these BOSSes beforehand.
Otherwise, he definitely wouldn't have spent such a huge price buying them.
Of course, those sellers could also calculate the value of the BOSSes, so they had to make some profit too.
It had to be said that Lin Mo needed to thank Wang Junjie.
Because Wang Junjie taught him a lesson: [If you want to achieve success faster than ordinary people, you must be willing to spend money.]
Although Wang Junjie spent money and still accomplished nothing, that was because his money wasn't spent where it mattered.
But Lin Mo spending 20 million in exchange for Ning Xi's 430,000 reputation was absolutely worth it.
Lin Mo said to Ning Xi, "Use reward amplification first, then open two big gift packs. I need the crystal cores inside to power up the Venom Set."
Ning Xi nodded.
"Okay!"
Ning Xi obediently took out two First-Clear Grand Gift Packs from the Scorpion Empire dungeon from her backpack.
[Ding~ SSS-level talent Supreme Nine-Five triggered. Consuming 58,320 reputation to activate reward amplification. Congratulations! Opening the Scorpion Empire Dungeon First-Clear Grand Gift Pack grants tenfold rewards: Gold +800, Crystal Cores +2000, B-Rank Skill Books +10!]
[Ding~ SSS-level talent Supreme Nine-Five triggered. Consuming 58,320 reputation to activate reward amplification. Congratulations! Opening the Scorpion Empire Dungeon First-Clear Grand Gift Pack grants tenfold rewards: Gold +800, Crystal Cores +2000, B-Rank Magic Scrolls +10!]
"Just as expected."
"The first-clear gift pack always drops B-rank goods."
At this moment, what Lin Mo valued even more were the crystal cores.
Earlier, after Ning Xi used reward amplification on the BOSS, the Shadow Demon Scorpion King dropped 3,250 crystal cores with the tenfold multiplier.
Adding the 6,000 crystal cores obtained from the three first-clear gift packs after tenfold amplification.
Right now, Lin Mo already had more than 9,000 crystal cores in his backpack.
So Lin Mo immediately strengthened his Venom Set skill.
[Ding~ One-click fusion of 8,000 crystal cores. Congratulations! Your Venom Set skill Hundred Poisons Immunity has upgraded to Ten Thousand Poisons Immunity.]
Eight thousand crystal cores.
If calculated according to the unit price of 500 yuan for the three materials, snake gall, poison gas bottles, and corrosive agents, it was equivalent to smashing in a full 4 million RMB just to complete the upgrade of this Venom Set skill.
"Hopefully the upgraded skill strength will be worthy of this investment."
With a light sigh, Lin Mo opened the set skill—
[Immune to Ten Thousand Poisons (Archer Venom Set Skill 8/8): All poison-type effects of the wearer increase by 200%, and grants 100% Poison Break (breaks enemy poison immunity) and 200% Poison Resistance (completely immune to all poison damage and effects).]
[Special Effect: All enemies selected as attack targets by the wearer will automatically enter a poisoned state, losing 1% of their maximum HP per second (ineffective against elite monsters and BOSSes). This effect cannot be dispelled and cannot stack.]
