Chapter 34 - The First To Clear The Silver Boss, Level 10 Dungeon Opening

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Li Yi ran out of the cave and towards the guy who laughed maniacally in the distance. Perhaps this guy was shocked that Li Yi did not die even after such a fierce attack. 

“What the f*ck, you didn’t die even after such a fierce attack from the boss? This is absolutely impossible! Here I was thinking that I could wait for the boss to end his Berserked state to take revenge for you. Looks like there’s no hope.”

“Pfft! You?”

Li Yi glanced at him and could not be bothered to waste his breath. This guy’s character was just like that. Most of the time, he was extremely unreliable, but in the face of major issues, he was definitely someone who could hold on to his own.

Clutch King gritted his teeth, but there was nothing he could do. After all, with his current strength, he really could not defeat him.

“Hmph! I’ll definitely defeat you and become your big brother one day!”

…

The two of them waited for 30 seconds before they walked back into the cave. They saw that the surroundings were in a mess. There were deep pits everywhere. Some of the wooden equipment had also been reduced to dust. One could imagine the frenzied attack that happened.

The leader of the bandits fell to the ground weakly. His staff had also fallen apart. It seemed that he could not withstand such a huge amount of mana used and became crippled on the floor.

The two of them ran over and attacked the dying boss frantically. Soon, the boss fell to the ground and dropped some gold coins. There was only but one piece of equipment that fell. Both of their faces darkened from the lack of loot dropped.

[System Notification: Congratulations to your party for being the first to kill the silver boss Wiles. The reward for the first kill is 100,000 EXP, 10 gold coins, and one piece of perfect-quality equipment.]

[System Notification: You are the first two players in the entire server to kill a silver boss. An announcement will be made on the entire server. Do you wish to hide your names?]

The EXP was divided equally, and Li Yi directly leveled up to level 9, while Clutch King leveled up to level 8. Killing the boss was the fastest way to level up!

However, the EXP bar for leveling up from Level 9 to Level 10 was definitely harder to reach. This was because it was more than five times that of level 8!

Regarding the announcement, both of them chose to hide their names. After all, both of them had similar personalities. They did not like things that were troublesome!

Li Yi then looked at the perfect-grade equipment that he had just obtained.

[Equipment: Gold King’s Combat Belt]

[Rarity: Perfect]

[HP: 196]

[Skill: A passive skill with indestructible battle intent. Increases the recovery rate of one’s HP by 150%. When the maximum HP is less than 50%, the recovery rate will be increased to 300%!]

[Equipment Condition: Level 10]

After he equipped it, Li Yi was pleasantly surprised to see the attributes of this perfect-grade equipment. This passive skill was really not bad, and it had even further increased his regeneration speed.

Right now, he could recover 400+ HP per second, which means that he could gain another 600+ HP when his HP drops by 50%. If a boss went Berserk, his HP regeneration speed would directly soar up to 1,200+. This was definitely a crazy amount!

Clutch King spoke happily, “That’s fast! I’m only level 8 now, and I’ll be able to change classes soon. When that time comes, I’ll definitely be strong!”

[System Notification: You have exceeded the maximum time you can stay online. For your safety, the system will force you to go offline in ten minutes. Thank you for your understanding!]

The two of them looked at each other; both had the same expression on their faces knowing they were about to be forced offline.

Clutch King directly said, “See you tomorrow!!”

“Back at ya!”

Clutch King’s body then slowly disappeared, and he went offline. Li Yi did not go offline immediately, instead, he waited for something.

…

Then it arrived, the server announcement! This caused all the players to be stunned by the news it provided throughout the Novice Villages. 

[Server Announcement: This is a special announcement, player ****, and player **** have become the first players to successfully kill the level 8 gray-silver boss, Wiles!]

What??

A level 8 gray-silver boss had been killed by a player?

Although the players have hidden their names, the system announcement clearly stated that two players had killed the boss. This was a little hard to swallow for anyone who heard it.

Even a level 5 black-iron boss would be difficult for them to kill. Only some large guilds were able to take it down. However, even they would find it difficult to kill a gray-silver boss.

At this moment, the entire server was in an uproar. Everyone was talking about the two players who were so awesome that they managed to kill a gray-silver boss.

The forums in the real world and other places were looking for these two players.

…

5 minutes later, the server announcement appeared again.

[Server Announcement: The first clear of the gray-silver boss has been completed. Now, the level 10 dark dungeons have been opened. The dungeon’s location coordinates have been given to all the major Novice Villages (****, ****). Difficulty level for the dungeons would be simple, normal, elite, abyss, nightmare!]

[Server Announcement: The party that clears the first nightmare-level dungeon before level 10 will receive an unexpected reward. The rewards for the second, third, and later parties will still be given a generous reward. Players, please enjoy this challenge!]

Li Yi smiled happily at this. It was exactly the same thing that happened in his previous life. When the first gray-silver boss was killed, a level 10 dungeon would appear. This dungeon was definitely a nightmare for everyone who had not reached level 10.

It could be said that countless players and guilds had challenged this dungeon for several days. In order to obtain this special reward, they had been wiped out countless times, causing the guild members to lose several levels.

However, they were still unable to clear the nightmare-level difficulty of the cave. After a while, many people found the root of the issue. It was because everyone’s defense was not high enough. Level 5 equipment would not be able to withstand the high damage given from this dungeon!

Unless they upgraded to level 10 and wore level 10 equipment, they would not be able to clear this dungeon.

On the flip side, as long as they upgraded to level 10, they would not be able to obtain this special reward. At one point, people thought that the officials did not want to give the reward and deliberately designed it this way.

They cursed the officials like crazy. However, the officials did not pay much attention to these players. They only had one statement that shut the people up — ‘If you don’t like playing the game, you can just leave!’. On the fourth day, a player dropped a Defense Potion recipe, which completely changed everyone’s situation.

When players reach level 15, 10% of their physical and magic defense improves. Currently, most players were around Level 7, which meant that they could increase their physical and magic defense by more than 100 points. The highest level of players right now had 100 points of physical defense, and their magic defense was even lower than that. With this Defense Potion, everyone could easily take down the dungeons before level 10. 

Although it was still very difficult, the chances were always much higher!!

Li Yi immediately sent out a message

[CD: Little Merchant, have you heard the system announcement? Hurry up and make more potions. This is a node, and it will be very difficult to sell them at a high price in the future.]

The little merchant immediately replied. 

[LM: Don’t worry, I’m very familiar with this potion. We should wait a day before we make our move. Otherwise, how would they know how precious Defensive Potions are? Hehe! Also, you really have a lot of faces. You actually managed to ask the Scorching Sun members to give me over ten thousand stalks of medicinal herbs, and they did not charge me at all!!]

[CD: Yes! I have a little agreement with them. It’s good that they gave it to you. I’m going to go offline first. Leave a message if you have anything else to say!]

Li Yi logged off after he sent his final message. He thought to himself, ‘This person definitely does not sweat the small stuff. He really is an expert at making money..’
