Chapter 98: Unexpected Call

Mo Wen, great god, is mighty!

Qi Pao Shui didn't participate the whole time, but the team battle prompts showed he was watching all along.

"Mo Wen, great god, are you safe now?" Zhu Meng Junjie asked.

"Mm, I'm safe." Su Sheng replied.

It must be said, Zhu Meng Junjie also knows how to be a person; he didn't directly ask for the quest item, but first cared about Su Sheng's situation.

"A great god is a great god, awesome!" Zhu Meng Ali also typed praise.

Seeing that the team channel was all praise for himself, Su Sheng didn't have much of a reaction.

"Wait for me in the town, I'll go back and hand it over to you." Su Sheng replied.

Afterward, Su Sheng began to check this battle's loot.

A level 35 Elite Boss should drop good stuff, after all it's not like that Ultimate Magic Puppet that can be farmed repeatedly.

As expected!

Su Sheng faintly showed a pleased expression.

Not talking about equipment yet, a Heavenly Craft Stone dropped!

In order to get two Heavenly Craft Stones, I owed a favor to the world; although Su Sheng doesn't lack them now, the more the better.

Corrupt Ring (Blue)

Magic Defense: 110

Additional: Defense +20

Additional: Corruption

Level: 35

Corruption: When attacking, stacks corruption status on the target, up to five layers.

Each layer reduces the target's dual defense by 2%.

Lasts 5 seconds, re-stacking refreshes the duration.

Whoa~

Good stuff, although it's blue, the accessory itself is relatively rare, and the additional defense stat suits Su Sheng's build.

Moreover, it also comes with a stacking armor-piercing effect.

The level requirement is a bit higher, needing level 35.

However, the Boss itself dropped a Heavenly Craft Stone; if there's no better equipment later, using it directly is not bad.

With the Heavenly Craft Stone equipped, it can be used at level 30.

Moreover, this ring can be called a functional accessory: percentage defense reduction, five stacks reduce defense by ten percent; don't underestimate that ten percent.

In the late game, a ten percent defense reduction is like a heavenly moat; at that point, specifically assigning an archer to wear this ring as a defense-reducing tool is also not bad.

However, some powerful Boss units in the very late game also have high anomaly resistance, so this corruption status may not fully take effect.

The remaining equipment includes two blue and one green items, with decent stats, but they're not for personal use.

Overall quality is better than what the Ultimate Magic Puppet drops.

Then I'll give it to Huan Jie.

After making an appointment with the Dream Building people, Su Sheng pulled out a Return City Ticket.

After successfully obtaining the quest item, the Dream Building Squad members were all happy; although each lost a level, it was still worth it.

The orange quest item, at a glance the quest is not simple.

At the same time, Su Sheng also returned the equipment they dropped, and picked up the gear they dropped upon death; after all, it was just a handy thing to do.

They're all green gear, no blue gear, not worth Su Sheng's greed, and some are even green gear produced from Hui Long Zhai.

This also shows that ordinary players are just getting by like that.

Never mind them, Su Sheng's leg guards are still produced from Hui Long Zhai.

But it's not a big problem; at level 25, Su Sheng will do a major equipment overhaul.

Besides the two pieces already embedded with Heavenly Craft Stone, the 30-level gear from Fengluo Wutong Dungeon, Su Sheng also spent a high price…20 gold coins at the auction house to obtain a level 25 green leg guard.

Thick Rock Leg Guard, Armor (Green)

Defense: 50

Additional: Constitution +20

Level: 25

Description: omitted

Overall it's average, but better than the level 10 leg guard from Hui Long Zhai that Su Sheng currently wears.

After saying goodbye to Dream Building, Su Sheng prepared to find a place to level up.

Experience points are already close to level 25.

The experience from that Corpse King Boss, after Su Sheng took over as captain, was set to be distributed by contribution; the Dream Building people naturally had no objections.

Furthermore, when the Corpse King died, Zhu Meng Junjie and Zhu Meng Xiao E both died.

The bulk of the experience was on Su Sheng himself; this is not like that weird Ultimate Magic Puppet Boss that hardly gives any experience.

The Corpse King Boss gave a lot of experience.

So Su Sheng's experience was directly pushed to over eighty percent of level 24.

Originally Su Sheng thought the Shen Wang today could surpass him.

The Shen Wang is also level 24, and besides, they run a hundred-man group for leveling, solo taking fifty percent experience; surpassing him is also normal.

Unexpectedly, Su Sheng this time almost soloed the experience from a level 35 Elite Boss, pulling the gap wider again.

Tomorrow, he should be able to reach level 25.

As for today, the game time is also a bit lacking; first find a suitable place to level up.

As for the graveyard hill area, Qiancheng Muxue has probably already taken it.

Besides, it doesn't matter; Wutong Town is huge, with plenty of leveling spots—just move elsewhere, worst case we go farm level 35 monsters.

Anyway, at this stage Su Sheng doesn't find level 35 monsters much trouble.

…

Su Sheng mailed his gear to Huan Jie and set out to find a new leveling area.

The game map is fairly large; without a mount, there's no need to let Huan Jie make a special trip.

Afterwards, Su Sheng wandered around the area for a while.

He picked a spot with few players, where the level‑30 Magic Pattern Wild Boar appears.

Compared to other wild beasts, these Magic Pattern Wild Boars have high attack and defense—only their agility and flexibility are slightly lacking, yet they charge swiftly.

Thus, not many people come here to grind monsters.

In this large area, Su Sheng saw only two squads, far apart, fighting monsters.

Su Sheng gave it a try and found it not too hard to handle.

Those two squads clearly noticed Su Sheng, exchanging surprised looks; anyone solo‑grinding level‑30 beasts would naturally draw some curiosity.

But they didn't come over to bother him.

Su Sheng found that these Magic Pattern Wild Boars frequently drop green chunks of meat and leather—materials for the cooking and tailoring sub‑professions.

Thus, it's no surprise that these Magic Pattern Wild Boars are a bit tough to fight.

Su Sheng had already certified the cooking sub‑profession, though he'd never really practiced its skills.

Coincidentally, he now has suitable materials and can later boost his cooking level.

After a while, one squad left, unsure whether they were on a quest or just found the Magic Pattern Wild Boars too tough to handle.

Finally, in the vast Magic Pattern Wild Boar grinding area, only Su Sheng and another squad remained.

Neither side disturbed the other.

When the game time ended, Su Sheng logged off.

…

He had breakfast with his parents and Huan Jie, chatting about some game‑related topics.

They agreed to meet tomorrow to continue raiding the Demon Energy Castle.

Su Sheng then went to work.

Su Sheng had just arrived at school when the phone rang.

Su Sheng was a bit surprised; normally his phone hardly ever gets calls.

He has two numbers, and this is his private one,

Seeing the caller ID, Su Sheng couldn't help but startle, then his expression turned solemn.
