Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“StarFire squad, Leader: StarFire, Members: TwinkleBeauty, BlueDreamer, GoodDreamJia, LilRainDrop has become the first squad to ever kill a Humanoid Chief Boss. They have gained a worldwide achievement which will be admired by all.”

“StarFire squad, Leader: Starfire, Members: TwinkleBeauty, BlueDreamer, GoodDreamJia, LilRainDrop has successfully slain the Troll Priest, Scargil. Their bravery has earned them the honor which further elevates their race’s reputation and will be respected in years to come.”

The bedazzling colorful banner had blinded every online player.

“It’s StarFire again, he isn’t backing down anytime soon.”

“Worship the Great God StarFire.”

“Please accept my knee.”

“I’m a pretty lady. I beg that the great StarFire carry me to fight Bosses.”

Not just ordinary players, major guilds and clubs were stirred into a pot of mess. They contacted members from Qionghua Club to ask if StarFire had joined Qionghua Club.

After they had received a ‘no’, many guilds were relieved. StarFire was too powerful, they were trying to figure out ways to bring him under their command.

Members of the squad were overjoyed, especially Li Jia, LilRainDrop and BlueDreamer. They had leveled up to Level 4. This proved that the Level 4 Boss provided a lot of Exp.

Seeing the 14% increase in his Exp bar, Li Yao was considering whether to find a way to kill Bosses to level up, which was way more efficient than farming Exp from grinding mobs.

A roar disrupted the good mood of the squad.

“Why, why wasn’t my name shown on the banner? I joined in killing the Boss too.”

DragonOfFourSeas’s eyes were reddened. That was a world announcement, a first kill, which could make anyone famous, but his name was not on it.

BlueDreamer was also puzzled, yet she frowned at him. “Why are you yelling at us? It isn’t up to us to decide on the world announcement, it is the system. It doesn’t care if the player wants to be famous or not, it can’t even hide the player names. Blame it on the system if you want.”

“Yes, blame it on the system.” Dragon contacted the customer service, but it was not their job to handle this sort of problem.

To put it bluntly, customer service served to clear up people’s doubts and questions related to the game. It was not possible for them to resolve system issues. Not to mention, even high-ranking administrators in the company or managers of any district did not have the right to change the data and numbers in the game.

Since the mainframe came out, it had been running on its own and was locked up in some secretive place where even the head of state could not interfere, let alone customer service.

It could be said that any game version updates or data maintenance was controlled solely by the system itself. The company had only obtained some independent rights to the game, but they could not hold competitions, use the game’s venue or change the game data.

“What kind of crappy game is this? There is a game bug and the company does not care at all. F*ck!” Dragon was furious.

It was normal for him to be furious. He had died twice in the game today and all of the Hunter’s loots would belong to Li Yao. Besides, his name was not included in the world announcement. It was simply too miserable for him to handle.

Seeing Dragon being so mad, Li Yao was a little absentminded. “Actually, there is a good explanation for this. After you have died, you did not enter into combat mode. The system has decided that you’re just a bystander.”

“I could’ve joined the fight if the poisonous mist had not blocked my way. Knowing full well that I was dead, all of you did not wait for me and the valley entrance was blocked. You did it on purpose!” Dragon glared angrily at Li Yao. “I knew that you disliked me since the beginning. You’re the leader, you did this on purpose, you planned all this! You got me killed and blocked the valley entrance…”

Li Yao was dumbfounded. He led the squad here because there was a graveyard nearby, he had accounted for the time and distance needed for revive. It was obvious that Dragon had purposely dallied around so he could get the final bow on the Boss, but failed. In the end, he was blamed for setting him up. Since his rebirth, he could care less about setting up such a little prick, he was not worthy of his time.

BlueDreamer lost her temper and cursed again, “What the hell is wrong with you? You died, and you expect us to wait for you? Tell me, how are we supposed to wait? Teach us, let me learn, dumb*ss.”

“Good, good for you. We’re from the same guild, yet you’re siding with the stranger. Good, I’m going to report this to the guild president and manager, you b*tches. I was kind enough to save you all, but I lost two levels and all of you’re not grateful at all. Instead, all of you targeted me! Bunch of poorly raised stinking b*tches, just you wait!”

Before he could finish his words, he suddenly disappeared. The system had forced him to go offline for using too much profanity.

The rest of the squad was petrified.

“Such talent.” Li Yao shook his head without any comments. After all, this was a personal matter amongst the guild members.

“Ugh, what can I say, the boss is here next to us. Yet, he wants to look for the president and manager…” BlueDreamer was speechless.

“Didn’t Sister say that club and guild matters are left to the president and manager? Is it wrong of him to look for them?” LilRainDrop asked.

Li Yao facepalmed himself. This player would soon become the goddess of walkthroughs and respected by many players for writing down countless task walkthroughs. How could she be so innocent…

“Silly girl.” Dreamer did not know what to say. There was nothing for them to handle.

Just then, President Xue Mei gave TwinkleBeauty a call. Twinkle did not try to hide anything, instead she accepted the call through the team voice chat.

“Boss, what happened, why did Dragon say so many nasty things? Oh ya, how did you get to know StarFire? Are you trying to draw the club closer? This world announcement is too important to us. We’ve tried to kill this Boss countless of times but failed, but you took care of it in one go.”

BlueDreamer wanted to cover her face. DragonOfFourSeas was in deep trouble now, he did not know the real identity of the person he was going to blackmail.

“Next time, do not recruit players from Shengshi, remember that. As for StarFire, we met by coincidence. I’m afraid he’s not interested in joining our guild. Ok, that’s all, we should check out the Boss’s loot.” Twinkle said.

“No, please don’t hang up. Boss, please let me see this person,” said Xue Mei hurriedly. TwinkleBeauty added Xue Mei into the team.

Twinkle turned to Li Yao, “Leader, you should search the body. I wouldn’t want the loot to be refreshed.”

None of them mentioned about DragonOfFourSeas, but they knew he was in deep trouble. The person he tried to blackmail was the boss, and now he was hated by the boss.

Even if they had a choice, the president or manager would not dare have such person in their club even if he had the skills or ability.

LI Yao nodded and began searching the corpse under the squad’s anticipation. The first dropped item appeared.

Silver-scaled Breastplate

Grade: Blue (rare)

Armor: 46

Endurance: 9

Strength: 4

Equipment Level: 4

Equipment Class: Knight, Warrior, Death Knight

“The equipment’s Stats are too impressive!” Xue Mei exclaimed.

“This is a high-quality equipment for a MT, with super high defense and attributes.” BlueDreamer said.

“Since there is only one knight in the squad, this breastplate should belong to Twinkle, is everyone okay with that?” Li Yao asked.

The squad members nodded. Li Yao handed the breastplate over to Twinkle.

“This, you do know the value of this breastplate, right? And you’re giving it to me?” TwinkleBeauty froze as she held the breastplate. She had decided to pay Li Yao for the item, but she did not expect him to give it to her so willingly.

“We should follow the rules since they were already set beforehand. Look, there is more.”

Li Yao found a second item.

Shield of Sacrifice

Grade: Blue (rare)

Damage reduction: 20%

Armor: 64

Intellect: 6

Effects: Shield’s Blessing, healing releases a shield, absorbing 1.5 magical damage.

A few of them cheered in excitement. The item earlier was enough of a surprise, they did not expect the next item to be even more powerful.

“I’m definitely sure that this is the first equipment for healers at the moment.” Dreamer’s voice was shakey.

“This shield is for Paladins and Shamans, this will be given to BlueDreamer, does everyone agree?” Li Yao asked in a serious tone.

LilRainDrop and Li Jia were clueless, but the other members rolled their eyes. They did not have other opinions since they were feeling too excited.

“Then, next item.” Li Yao searched the body again.

“There is more?” TwinkleBeauty was surprised.

“Of course, there is. This is not a common stage Boss, but a wild Boss. Items dropped by wild Bosses are both higher in both quantity and quality than the ones dropped by stage Bosses.”

Li Yao was speaking from experience. Wild bosses were too difficult to kill, but the item yield was high.

Iron Golem Summoning Spell: Summons an Iron Golem to fight for the user.

“Little girl, you’re in luck! This golem is stronger than most MTs, this is a rare summoning spell,” explained Li Yao. Golems are favored by most, ordinary summoners. It is one of their favorite pets. It has a lot of health, high attack damage and can also rebound damage, making it extremely powerful. Other than its slow movement speed, there are no drawbacks.

Since it was a wild Boss drop item, this item was sold at a very high price in Li Yao’s previous life. A lot of summoners would struggle for a long time just to buy this Golem skill book.

LilRainDrop’s eyes narrowed into slit as she smiled at the sight of the skill book.

Shower of Flame: Summons flames from the void in the sky, causing continuous flame damage to enemies within the area.

“Jia, you hit the jackpot too. Now you’re one of the few Warlocks that has an AoE skill!”

The rarity of Shower of Flame skill was not any less rarer than the Iron Golem skill. Once a Warlock had learned this spell, it would be easier to eradicate smaller mobs. This skill could cause a higher damage than the Mage’s Blizzard spell.

“Hot damn, there is still more!” Dreamer exclaimed as he saw Li Yao continue on with his search.

“Why, I’ve got nothing yet. Of course, there is more.” Li Yao smiled.

Fang of the Poison God

Grade: Purple (Epic)

Strength: 18

Agility: 18

Endurance: 16

Poisonous Spike: Attacks will carry poisonous effect, causing 30% more damage.

Equipment level: 5

Equipment class: Hunter, Shaman, Druid, Bandit, Monk

Note: After the Poison God’s death, his essence was contained in this fang.

The squad went mad. Their eyes were bulging, this was their first time seeing a Purple equipment, and the item attributes were insane.

“Such high strength and agility, with +16 Endurance. 1 Endurance equals to 10 Health, that is 160 Health in total. Holy cow, my current Health is only 180 with equipment boost.” BlueDreamer wanted the item, but the problem was the item was not for Paladins. She felt like crying.

TwinkleBeauty took a deep breath, “The super high attributes can improve a lot of the user’s Stats, this item is also a super rare jewellery. Main point is, this item provides 30% damage boost. Whoever wears this necklace will get a 30% attack boost. Although I have never seen a Purple equipment, I’m sure that this item is the best among the best.”

Not to mention, most players did not have any jewellery at the moment.

“We have two Knights, one Summoner and one Warlock in the squad. None of which could equip this item. From our agreement earlier, Hunter’s items belong to me.” Li Yao smiled as he took the necklace.

“Hold up, Great God StarFire, don’t be so impulsive.” Xue Mei, who was still in shock, had completely lost her self-control as the guild president of China’s top ten guilds. “Qionghua will buy the item. Give us a price, we will buy it!” She shouted in a sharp voice.

“Yes, don’t be so impetuous, we will buy it,” said Dreamer.

Li Yao fiddled with the fang that was now hanging around his neck. “I never mentioned that I was going to sell it.”

In his previous life, Fang of the Poison God was referred as a beginner’s legendary artifact. A lot of beginners were not willing to take off the item even after they had reached Level 40 or 50. From the data given by the administrators, the item’s drop rate was one in ten thousand. The odds of getting this item were so low that players were enraged.

Li Yao was surprised that he was able to get this item. This Boss would be refreshed every week. One of the big guilds had taken over the Boss for almost two years. They had slain the Boss a hundred times and only got one fang. They were in luck since most guilds had it worse, no matter how much they had killed the Boss, the item would not drop.

With that said, why would Li Yao sell such an item?

 “100,000. 100,000 CPs.” Xue Mei shouted.

“Not gonna sell it.” Li Yao shook his head.

“150,000.” Xue Mei bit her lips.

Seeing that Li Yao was not tempted at all, Twinkle stopped Xue Mei. “That’s enough Xue Mei, there’s no need to persuade him anymore. Try and put yourself in his shoes, would you sell this equipment after you have gotten it?”

Xue Mei said nothing. She knew that with such a divine artifact, she could create a super expert player. The real value of the item was hard to estimate.

“Come on, let’s see what else is left.” Li Yao searched the body again. Deep inside, he thought that his little sister was really his lucky star.

After his rebirth, he had thought of this divine artifact when he was setting up his plans. Since the drop rate was so low, he decided to leave it out of his plans. Even when he promised to help in fighting the Boss, he did not think that he would actually get it. Life was often full of uncertainties. Even after rebirth, things could still go in an unexpected way…
