Chapter 84 - The Comet Boss!

The Ice Queen turned to face Ling Yi when she felt his stare.

Her pure white and beautiful eyes stared at him emotionlessly as if waiting for his next order.

“Mm…”

Ling Yi’s thumb unconsciously rubbed her hand in a circular motion as his mind wandered about what he should do next.

He quickly came to a decision.

“Xiao Bing, let’s try to fight it first.”

He had mutated a [Teleportation Talisman] for their escape, just in case. So, even if they couldn’t win, they would be able to retreat immediately.

The Ice Queen nodded in understanding. She then lowered her head, and her eyes caught where their hands were locked together.

It is evident that if he did not let go of her hand, she would not move.

Noticing where she was looking, Ling Yi immediately let go of his hand. He was now becoming more understanding of the Ice Queen’s behavior.

‘It seems that when I physically restricted her, it became a priority rather than the mission I gave her.‘

This meant that she would not break free from him as long as he held her.

But when will this knowledge be useful?

Ling Yi shook his head. Logically, he realized this was like adding flowers to a fully flowered bouquet.

There wasn’t much practical meaning to it.

There’s no need to think about this unnecessary thought.

He opened his backpack and found the “Physical Strength Pill”.

This was the “Physical Strength Pill” he had received as an extra gift from the Divine Union Branch when he first registered.

However, because it was impossible to bring the main world’s God’s path items into one’s bag before level 10, this pill had not been used then.

It wasn’t until two days ago that he remembered about it and decided to register it into his rucksack.

Now was the time to let it shine.

[Physical Strength Pill (E)]: After consumption, a small amount of stamina will immediately be restored.

He once again looked at its mutation potential.

[Physical Strength Pill — Mutation Potential: Medium]

It has the same mutation potential as last time.

The only difference was that now he had enough mutation points to complete the actual mutation!

“System, let’s mutate it,” He said decisively.

A few seconds later, he opened it again.

[Physical Strength Pill (E)]: After consumption, once one’s stamina is exhausted, a small amount of stamina will be immediately restored.

“…”

“…”

“Huh?”

The newly mutated item’s effect was straightforward to understand, but it took him a moment before it finally registered in his head.

He didn’t expect a medium mutation potential would have such an excellent upgraded effect.

‘I could recover some of my stamina every time I exhaust it?‘

“Isn’t this a weaker version of the perpetual motion machine?”

Some might say that the effects were exaggerated, but it was also average because it still couldn’t recover much.

The “small amount” mentioned here equates to 10% of his original stamina.

With such a tiny amount of restoration, it wouldn’t take long before he used them all up, especially when he used skills and did some high-intensity movement in battle.

But even so, Ling Yi was still very satisfied.

“Alright, next…”

He looked at the Super Bubble Monster in the distance and waved his hand to call the Ice Queen.

“Let’s go!”

…

[Prompt: The battle of the Beast Kings in this district has begun. All players, please hurry to the Golden Altar!]

When someone launched an attack on the Beast King in a district, everyone in the same district would see the same notification pop out in front of them.

When the players in District 66 saw this message, they looked at each other in confusion.

Everyone was speechless.

“Battling the Beast King? What do you mean? I don’t understand.”

“I remember… It seemed like it would only appear when someone initiated an attack on the Beast King… F*ck! Doesn’t that mean the Beast King of our District has already come out?”

“What???”

“It’s only the f*cking fifth day! This… This just doesn’t make sense. Nobody would have reached level 10 on just the fifth day!”

“I’m still fighting level 3 and 4 monsters, and someone’s already fighting the Beast King??”

“This is too ridiculous!!”

“…”

The players of District 66 were once again shocked.

They realized that they seemed to have seriously underestimated the mysterious duo in their District.

While they were still folding paper planes, the other party was already flying in the sky.

They had personally experienced the gap between their strength, which they describe as the gap between heaven and hell.

When someone surpasses them, any average person would want to catch up.

And when the other party surpassed them by too much, everyone would no longer chase after them. Instead, they would admit that they were indeed better than them. They would look up to and even worship them.

A large number of players in District 66 were also experiencing this change in mindset.

“Now that you think about it, does anybody know their names!!?”

“I don’t know! Now, I just feel honored to know they are in the same district as me!”

“Damn, me too. I feel like our district’s Big Boss might become a famous person in history someday! If he were already so awesome now, then his future would be… Phew!”

“The people in the main world call them the Ice and Flame Star Duo, but I think we should give the big boss a better title.”

“Why don’t we put our heads together and think about it? With such an awesome Big Shot in our district, we won’t have to worry about losing in some future District Wars or whatever. If the Big Shot gets the meat, we’ll definitely get some spoils.”

“His trademark skill is to summon meteorites… We call him the Comet Boss?”

“Good, good, good! No one else had ever used this title before! That name’s not bad!”

Everyone cheered in agreement, clearly satisfied with the name.

The big star who can summon meteors, the Comet Boss!

Not only did it represent his trademark skill, but it also showed their respect for him.

While most players continued to discuss this exciting topic, some decided to kill monsters to level up, while others went to the forum to post.

They quickly typed up a post about the Comet Boss’ current fight against the Beast King.

The Golden Altar was located at the end of the beginner map’s main road, a little far from where everybody was.

But even so, some people were still willing to sacrifice some Flying or Acceleration Talismans to hurry on their way.

They had to rush to the edge of the Golden Altar and leave their cameras there.

“In the past 20 years, no one has ever been able to fight the Beast King before the Newbie Event. But someone has done it today!”;

A young man who was using a “Flying Talisman” was broadcasting live as he flew at full speed towards the end of the main road.

His name was Qian Yu, a 26 years old man.

He was an ordinary God’s Path streamer who liked to broadcast most of the goings on in the district. He had attracted some viewers because he was part of the June’s batch, District 66.

Now, in the face of the continuous influx of live viewers on his video, he excitedly narrated to the audience, “This is something that no one has ever done in the past 20 years!”

“Our June 66th District’s Big Boss, the Comet Boss, is currently facing the Beast King on the fifth day since the opening of our district!”

“I must rush there immediately and record this heaven-defying act that is enough to overthrow the world’s knowledge.”

No matter how slow Qian Yu’s reaction was, he knew it was best to have an actual video record of such a shocking phenomenon.

If word of mouth were to spread, after 20 or 30 years, when a new generation of young people grows up, they would probably think that this was an exaggerated legend from their predecessors.

Only real historical evidence could make future generations believe this truth.
