Chapter 88: Talisman

Explosive Flame Talisman (Green)

One‑time item.

Triggers an explosion.

Deals 100 points of undifferentiated damage to a 5×5 area!

This is what Su Sheng traded to Shen Yang.

One hundred points of damage really isn't high.

But the quantity is large!

This is Su Ba Su Wenhao, who, through his secondary profession as a Talismanist, used the phoenix blood he had previously gathered in the Fengluo Wutong Dungeon to make the items.

There were several hundred of them; back then, Dad Su Wenhao had collected a lot of blood.

Dad kept some of these talismans for himself and gave the rest to the Huakai women and Su Sheng.

Originally this talisman was prepared as a self‑destruct mechanism to suppress the final ten percent of the Ultimate Demon Puppet's HP.

Later, because of Li Wenwan the Phoenix Blood Mage's formidable ability, these talismans were never used.

Su Sheng gave Shen Yang fifty pieces! That's all Su Ba gave to Su Sheng.

Su Sheng let Shen Yang, via his special skill, go straight to the BOSS and detonate when the BOSS was down to about 1% HP.

Fifty green Explosive Flame Talismans amount to only 5,000 HP, really not much. (Revised from the previous chapter)

But it hits the HP threshold, just enough to slay the Rhino BOSS.

Meanwhile, the Qiancheng Muxue players in the area were none spared!

After blowing up the nearest Qiancheng Muxue player and the BOSS, Shen Yang immediately collected all the BOSS drops from the ground.

Since Su Sheng and Shen Yang were in a party, even though it was a revenge attack, Shen Yang did not acquire a malicious red name from the killed Qiancheng Muxue player.

Run? Shen Yang can't run away.

But Shen Yang, clad in level‑13 white‑board gear, if he dies he's dead; the BOSS was captured anyway.

His level is still low; the Hidden Class's special skills are only a Shadow Chase and a special Stealth. When he levels up, this class might let Shen Yang escape the current situation.

Seeing the empty scene, only the BOSS corpse and an assassin player left, Qiancheng Leng Shao erupted in rage!

"How did he get in! Kill him! Make the items explode for me!" Qiancheng Leng Shao didn't think it through; Shen Yang now has a white name.

Boom—

Immediately, Shen Yang was engulfed by Qiancheng Muxue's ranged fire, turning into a white flash!

Items… dropped…

A pair of level‑10 store‑produced white‑board daggers.

Qiancheng Leng Shao almost coughed up blood in anger, then looked again.

Not a single Assassin Alliance assassin was seen; the detestable Mo Wen Qianchen left only a silhouette.

Then, just at that moment, the opponent exited Combat State and, under Qiancheng Leng Shao's gaze, vanished via Invisibility.

Watching the furious Qiancheng Leng Shao, Bi'an Huangquan turned away, showing a faintly gloating smile; this guy is just too annoying.

Now that he's taking a loss at the Assassin Alliance's hands, Bi'an Huangquan is somewhat pleased.

My Bi'an Flower guild isn't a huge guild, but it's still an old ally of Qiancheng Muxue; coming from the coalition, Qiancheng Gongzi, the head of Qiancheng Muxue, always treats me with courtesy. This clueless guy, however, is arrogant and looks down on everyone.

"Mo Wen, Great Deity! May you not disgrace your duty!"

Town respawn point!

Shen Yang said cheerfully to Su Sheng.

Shen Yang is now officially part of the Assassin Alliance; this time counts as a token of allegiance!

"Here are the items, Mo Wen, Great Deity!"

Then Shen Yang initiated a trade, sending over all the BOSS loot, even Gold Coins.

Su Sheng didn't rush to look at the loot; instead he placed a set of level‑10 green assassin gear, including a level‑10 green dagger!

"Mo Wen, Great Deity, this…" Shen Yang looked at Su Sheng with disbelief.

Su Sheng smiled and said, "Cost and reward are equal; this is what you deserve."

The gear, of course, came from the Assassin Alliance; its players are generally level 15 or higher. These items are produced in the Hui Long Zhai Dungeon, taken from Ten Court Yanluo.

Those taken from Ten Court Yanluo are all minor masterpieces; even now they'd fetch a few thousand dollars.

"Is this really for me?" Shen Yang was still a bit uneasy.

"Take it, and they'll level you up." Su clicked to accept the trade.

Shen Yang swallowed, then chose to take it.

Su Sheng only then looked at the loot.

Hm?

Su Sheng raised an eyebrow; there was an unexpected gain.

Besides the materials, there were four pieces of gear, all level 25, with one white‑board piece set aside.

A pair of blue daggers, a pleasant surprise, were handed straight to Chen Guan.

Since this time the Assassin Alliance contributed, a green level‑25 staff with mediocre stats was also given to Chen Guan.

Now it's probably worth only a few coins; no one wants it. When the bulk of players reach level 25, it could be sold for some money,

But the last piece is something Su Sheng can actually use.

Rhino Armor. Armor (Green)

Defense: 60

Bonus: HP +400

Level: 25

Explanation: omitted.

Not saying anything else, for a level 25 green armor, the defense is slightly low, but adding 400 HP is also fine; in short, it's better than the plain level 20 armor with 30 defense that Su Sheng currently wears.

However, Su Sheng is only level 22, still three levels short of being able to wear it; although the stats are barely passable, it's unnecessary to waste a Heavenly Craft Stone for this, and besides, Su Sheng currently has no extra Heavenly Craft Stones.

"Then you guys take this kid with you, I'm leaving first."

Su Sheng instructed Chen Guan.

"Hehe, don't worry, this is our Assassin Alliance's precious little lump." Chen Guan rubbed his hands.

Just as Su Sheng was about to leave, Chen Guan followed him up.

"Shengge, wait."

"What's up?"

"That Shengge, where are you now? I'll come find you tomorrow." Chen Guan said.

"I'm going to work, I'm a security guard." Su Sheng grinned.

"Really?" Chen Guan found it hard to believe.

"What do you want from me?" Su Sheng didn't explain further.

"We haven't seen each other in seven years, let's get together!" Chen Guan grinned.

Su Sheng fell silent for a moment: "Alright then."

Indeed, the two haven't met in reality for seven years; although the game vaguely has a similar outline, it ultimately differs greatly from reality, and moreover, the two are in the same city.

"Then you come here..." Su Sheng gave the address.

After saying goodbye to the Assassin Alliance people, Su Sheng temporarily had nothing to do again...

I asked Huan Jie's side; she's currently taking her parents to level up, fighting level 25 monsters.

After checking the game time, there wasn't much left, so Su Sheng simply returned to the Wild Grave Hill position again to start grinding monsters.

It's not that Su Sheng likes Wild Grave Hill; mainly, the level 30 monsters here can also meet his current leveling needs, and besides, there's no one here right now.

Thus it continued until the game time ended; Su Sheng checked his experience points and chose to log off.

Leveling up, it's getting harder and harder.

After Su Sheng ate breakfast together with his parents and Huan Jie, he then went to work.
