Crash!
As the Blood Ghost King fell after being killed, a pile of glittering loot rolled out from its corpse.
Lin Mo and Ning Xi couldn't help but get excited when they saw it.
"As expected of a first kill on a Tier 6 Boss."
"The drop rate is really high."
As he spoke, Lin Mo picked up the loot beside the Blood Ghost King's corpse, all of which had been multiplied tenfold by Ning Xi's reward enhancement.
[Ding! You picked up Gold +15,250!]
[Ding! You picked up Level 70 Tier 6 Purple Equipment: Blood Cloak ×10!]
[Ding! You picked up Level 70 Tier 6 Orange Equipment: Blood Legguards ×10!]
[Ding! You picked up S-rank Magic Knight Skill Book: Blood Demon Slash ×10!]
Twenty pieces of Tier 6 purple and orange equipment.
Ten S-rank skill books.
At the current stage of the game, these items were easily worth over a hundred million.
This once again proved that as long as you had enough strength, making money in the world of Oracle was as easy as breathing.
Because if the Blood Ghost King dropped these same items when players were generally around Levels 70 or 80 and ordinary players could already form teams to kill it, they wouldn't be worth much anymore.
By then, players' equipment and skills would have already caught up.
Only now, when these items were first obtained, were they at their highest value.
But at the same time, ordinary players couldn't kill the Blood Ghost King at all.
An invisible deadlock had formed.
Only overwhelming strength could break that cycle.
As usual, Lin Mo distributed the equipment and skill books according to who needed them, sending them to Ling Xiao, Xia Wanwan, and the others.
For example, the S-rank Magic Knight skill Blood Demon Slash.
Its effect was to sacrifice 10% of the user's maximum HP to deal massive damage to a single target. The more HP sacrificed, the more bonus damage it dealt.
As a "nuclear bomb" player, Ling Xiao had stacked passive skills that increased HP, giving him over ten times the health of other knights of the same level.
This skill would be able to unleash considerable power in his hands.
Besides, Ling Xiao couldn't open every fight by detonating himself.
Even Siya's resurrection and Death Immunity Mark still had a twelve-hour cooldown.
Blood Demon Slash would perfectly make up for Ling Xiao's lack of damage in normal combat, where he could only serve as a giant HP sponge, greatly increasing his combat strength.
It also came with a passive effect that increased maximum HP by 10%.
It matched Ling Xiao perfectly.
Taking advantage of the weekend, Ling Xiao was pulling an all-nighter leveling with Xia Wanwan and the others.
As soon as he received the S-rank skill book from Lin Mo, he immediately sent a message back.
["Boss!"]
["Who do you want me to blow up?"]
["Just say the word!"]
"Uh...", Lin Mo replied, "No rush. Not for now."
As for everything else, as always, he stored it in the warehouse, ready to take it out whenever needed.
Or they could even be used as achievement rewards for the Divine Might Tower.
Tier 6 equipment was enough to motivate any player in the entire city.
Using it to promote the Divine Might Tower would definitely make its popularity soar even higher.
After dealing with the loot, just as the Blood Ghost King had said, the Blood Demon Clan was truly immortal within its own territory, the Dark Underground City.
Before long, the Blood Ghost King revived on the spot.
Looking at Ning Xi, who had killed him in seconds moments ago, the Blood Ghost King's eyes were full of fear.
"You've already killed this king once. You can't kill me a second time!"
"Hm?"
"A second time?"
Lin Mo hadn't even thought of that.
After the Blood Ghost King's reminder, he and Ning Xi exchanged a smile.
"Xiao Xi, do it."
"Okay!"
The moment he finished speaking, Ning Xi raised her staff and immediately began casting at the Blood Ghost King.
S-rank Fireball!
S-rank Hurricane!
S-rank Dragon Command!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The Blood Ghost King had only just revived and hadn't recovered much HP, so he died again.
[Ding! Congratulations! You have killed the Level 75 Tier 6 Boss Blood Ghost King. Rewards: EXP +150 million! Reputation +125,000 (already increased by your talent's 100x bonus)!]
[Ding! Consumed 106,627 Reputation. Congratulations! Using your SSS-rank talent, Supreme Sovereign, you have applied a tenfold reward enhancement to the Blood Ghost King. You have obtained 10x loot...]
Crash!
Another pile of loot spilled out from the Blood Ghost King's corpse.
Even though the second kill's drop rate had been cut in half, the Blood Ghost King was still extremely valuable.
This time, after Ning Xi's tenfold reward enhancement, they obtained over 7,000 gold coins, ten pieces of Tier 5 purple equipment, and ten A-rank magic scrolls.
Most Bosses took anywhere from a dozen hours to several days to respawn.
It was rare to encounter one that respawned this quickly.
So next, Ning Xi went for the third kill.
Then the fourth.
The fifth.
She kept farming the Blood Ghost King relentlessly.
The moment it revived, it died.
The moment it showed its face, it died.
A mighty Tier 6 Boss had completely lost all dignity.
It lived a life worse than a common wild monster.
As the kills piled up, and so did the drops, the loot on the ground gradually formed a small mountain.
The more Lin Mo watched, the more he felt that the tenfold reward enhancement from Ning Xi's talent was simply incredible.
Normally, when killing Bosses, Ning Xi would only use the tenfold reward enhancement on the first kill.
For the second and third kills, since the Boss's value kept dropping, she would stop using it to save Reputation.
But now, thanks to the Divine Might Tower continuously generating Reputation, Ning Xi could enhance every kill without worrying.
Enhance. Enhance again. And keep enhancing.
Even though the Blood Ghost King's drops were worth only half as much with each subsequent kill, Ning Xi still enhanced them every time.
She had plenty of Reputation.
She could afford to be extravagant.
They kept going until they had killed the Blood Ghost King eight times.
By then, its loot was worth less than 1% of what it had dropped on the first kill.
Even after Ning Xi's tenfold reward enhancement, another kill would only earn them a little over a hundred gold coins.
Only then did they finally stop.
The Blood Ghost King had been completely traumatized by all the deaths.
Originally, their purpose for entering the underground city had only been to repair Siya's Heart of Eternity and complete Ah Li's growth mission.
Instead, they had unexpectedly farmed a Tier 6 Boss eight times.
Their gains this trip had been absolutely incredible.
Lin Mo was extremely satisfied.
Even more unexpectedly, the Fox Clan Sky Lantern, the Fox Clan treasure required for Ah Li's growth mission, had actually been on the Blood Ghost King all along.
It dropped together with the loot during Ning Xi's fifth kill.
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
Fox Clan Sky Lantern (Quest Item)
Description: A treasure of the Celestial Fox Clan. After the Celestial Fox Clan was destroyed, all of the clan's treasures were divided among other races. This Sky Lantern eventually found its way to the Dark Underground City...
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
They had repaired the Heart of Eternity. Killed the Boss. And found the Fox Clan Sky Lantern.
Three birds with one stone.
The trip had been more than worthwhile.
Besides that, after this journey, Siya's mood had obviously improved as well.
As the Seventh Princess of the God Clan, the supreme race of Oracle, she was noble and elegant.
A beauty beyond compare.
But ever since Lin Mo had brought her out of the Princess's Tomb, she had been depressed the entire time.
Yet now, for the first time, Lin Mo saw an angelic smile appear on Siya's fair face.
It was so beautiful, so captivating, that Lin Mo couldn't help wanting to preserve that happiness for her forever.
Just then, a quest notification suddenly appeared before his eyes.
[Ding! S-rank Hidden Quest "Heart's Knot" Progress: 5%!]
Lin Mo froze for a moment.
He recognized this progress bar.
Ever since triggering the S-rank quest Heart's Knot in the Divine Tomb, he had been able to see it.
But until now, no matter how many jokes Lin Mo told or how many funny faces Strong-Maned Pig made to amuse Siya, the quest progress had never increased. It had remained stuck at 0%.
That had led Lin Mo to believe that the quest could only progress after bringing Siya back to the God Clan's core domain, the Divine Kingdom.
Only now did Lin Mo realize, "So I was looking in the wrong direction all along."
That alone was a huge discovery.
But at that moment, Mo Chen suddenly reminded them, "Your Highness, I actually noticed this twenty years ago and wanted to tell you then."
"The reason your Heart of Eternity keeps getting damaged is that your divine power is unstable. If this continues, it won't be long before it breaks again."
Just as Siya grew sad upon hearing those words, and Lin Mo couldn't help frowning, Mo Chen continued, "But Your Highness needn't worry. After years of dedicated research, I've finally found a way to permanently stabilize the Heart of Eternity."
