Chapter 798: Grand Mage

"Heh heh heh~ Not bad, you've got two brushes~"

The boss, whose HP had been emptied, let out a strange laugh and turned into dissipating demon energy.

Crackle—

A pile of loot dropped down.

One orange, two purples, one blue, one green, and a lot of gold coins.

"An orange dropped…"

Looking at this loot, everyone felt a bit disappointed, but… it also seemed natural.

This boss's difficulty doesn't seem very high.

The only somewhat troublesome thing is this HP axis mechanism, but its difficulty isn't actually big; it mainly wastes time.

Of course, this is just everyone's illusion…

The reason people feel this boss's difficulty isn't high is mainly because this team's lineup is truly too luxurious.

The core experts of Flame Yellow, wherever they are thrown, are existences that can stand on their own.

Now, teaming up to tackle a fake Commander Rank level‑70 boss, how hard could it be?

Furthermore, with Su Sheng being this super‑big 'cheat', feeling relaxed is also quite normal.

Then, under everyone's expectant gazes, Su Sheng simply picked up the loot.

He skipped the blue and green items outright.

There were two level‑70 purple items: a staff, whose attributes were just average.

Besides that, there was also a level‑70 purple heavy leg armor, but it's odd for a mage‑oriented boss to drop heavy armor; unfortunately, its stats lean toward strength, which isn't Su Sheng's path.

Let's just put them all in the guild warehouse; whoever needs them can spend points to exchange.

…The level is a bit too high, so using them to craft Divine Craftsman Stone would definitely not be worth it; Heavenly Craft Stone could be considered. At this rate, these two pieces of equipment will probably sit at the bottom of the guild warehouse for a long time.

Next up is the main event—that orange‑quality item.

Su Sheng didn't hesitate; he directly shared the equipment's attributes.

Mage's Robe (Orange)

Defense: 500

Magic Defense: 480

Bonus: Intelligence +280

Bonus: Spirit +240

Bonus: Casting Speed +10%

Bonus: Grand Mage

Level: 70

Description: omitted

Grand Mage (Passive): When channeling a spell, there's a chance to cast double; double‑cast spell damage is reduced by twenty percent.

"Whoa, great stuff!"

"This is top‑notch for a damage‑dealing mage."

When everyone saw this robe, they all started chatting excitedly.

Among them, Li Wanwan and the other mage players all had stars in their eyes as they looked at the robe's attributes.

"I'll put it all in the guild warehouse—uh, to use it with Divine Craftsman Stone you need to be level 60, so I'll set it so it can be exchanged at level 60 at a twenty percent discount."

Su Sheng gave a hehe laugh, which also counts as stimulating many mage players' enthusiasm to level up.

Besides these loot items, there is also a special item.

It's… a compass‑like thing.

Demon‑guiding Compass

Description: Dungeon item.

Su Sheng took out that compass; this should be the item for going to the next stage, right?

Then, Su Sheng took out the compass.

After taking it out, the compass's needle pointed straight toward a direction.

Su Sheng tried turning the compass a bit, but the needle remained locked on that direction.

Afterward, Su Sheng simply walked straight toward that direction.

On the stone wall in that direction, he saw a recess that fit the compass; Su Sheng didn't hesitate and directly embedded the compass in his hand into it.

Click—click—click~

Then, the stone wall lacking the compass, amid a burst of black demon energy, turned illusory.

An entrance similar to the previous passage appeared before everyone.

Without a doubt, this must be the second stage.

"Are we ready? If we are, let's use this time to check out the monsters of the second stage."

"Let's go!"

…

…

…

The school's security office.

Chen Guan sat in Su Sheng's office chair.

"Heh heh, you don't say, the security guard even has an office, pretty fun," Chen Guan spun his chair, his eyes turning to the few passing beauties on the school path.

"You're really enjoying it, Brother Su, you can sit at this desk and look at fresh, pretty girls directly," Chen Guan smacked his lips.

Su Sheng gave Chen Guan a white‑eyed glance with his tea cup: "You think everyone's like you? Form is emptiness, emptiness is form… you pervert."

"It's the hero's true nature—indulging in food and lust."

Chen Guan chuckled.

"How's the matter going?"

Su Sheng was too lazy to complain; after all, they're a second‑generation rich… no, now they can be called a first‑generation rich.

Yanhuang's rise is almost a done‑deal.

Chen Guan's stake in Yanhuang, calling it first‑generation rich, is no problem at all.

"Basically everything's already negotiated; once the funds arrive we can start construction."

"It just feels a bit… given this scale, the shortest construction period is still 16 to 18 months, assuming everything goes smoothly."

Chen Guan put away his playful grin: "I still think it's best to go with something ready‑made."

"We've already come this far; trying doesn't hurt, and… I feel the timing is just right," Su Sheng smiled slightly.

"Hm? Just right?"

Chen Guan was puzzled.

"According to this game's progress, in about a year and a half it should be the time for the full opening of the National War."

"Then, with our own territory, keeping the core team will be more convenient."

Su Sheng said with a smile.

"Indeed, the current Yanhuang Club can only be called a makeshift troupe."

"Compared with the top ten guilds' clubs, it's not a little off."

Chen Guan nodded.

"By the way, is that Dungeon hard?"

For that, Chen Guan asked.

"It's still within controllable limits; yesterday we pushed the old one, casualties were only one."

"If nothing unexpected happens, we should be able to smoothly resolve the crisis at this Yanhuang Town outpost," Su Sheng said, taking a sip of water.

"Sigh, with the Elf King at the outpost, it's hard to tell if that's good or bad," Chen Guan complained; Su Sheng had already analyzed the reasons with him, so he knows some details.

Although the Demon Sealing Barrier has been broken, the first to bear the brunt are Bai Hu and Xuanwu Main City.

But now the Demon Race's move has bypassed those two main cities, heading straight for this player outpost.

It is indeed somewhat…

"Opportunity and risk go hand in hand," Su Sheng grinned.

"Regarding funds, I'll arrange them as soon as possible; the earlier we start, the sooner it'll be completed."

"Hm…"

Su Sheng furrowed his brow; his gaze burned at Chen Guan, looking inside and out, completely missing his own words.

"I am your father."

"Hm…"

"You are a pig."

"Hm…"

"Ah, what did you say?"

It wasn't until those two high‑school girls, dressed more provocatively, vanished at the far end of his sight that Chen Guan finally, as if waking from a dream, turned his head.

"How about it? Are the long legs pretty?" Su Sheng said with a teasing smile.

"What long legs, don't slander me." Chen Guan clammed up stubbornly.

Su Sheng had originally been discussing matters with Chen Guan,

"Enough, enough, don't linger here, go wherever it's cool, don't affect my work."

Su Sheng was too weary to retort…

"It's cool here… I have to stay with you, Brother Su."

"I guess you just can't bear to leave those high‑school beauty students…" Su Sheng was too weary to retort…
