Chapter 3: God-tier boss, that's it?

"Let's see what the reward is!"

He opened his backpack and checked the rare equipment he had just obtained.

【Honor Staff (Epic)】

Level: 10

Magic Attack +32

Intelligence +6

Physique +6

Special Effect: 【Soul Return】When releasing a skill, 5% chance to restore 50 mana to oneself.

"The stats are decent, but unfortunately it requires level 10 to use."

If he equips this weapon, his magic attack could more than double, but his level isn't enough, so he can only wait for now.

The ground boss's corpse slowly faded, leaving only the two items that dropped.

Xiao Feng picked up the 8 silver coins on the ground (gold, silver, copper exchange at a 1:100 ratio), and also there were two pieces of armor, and a blueprint.

【Black Tiger Treads】: Level 10, Exquisite Quality, usable by all professions, Max HP +45, Physical Defense +2

【Black Tiger Crown】: Level 10, Exquisite Quality, usable by all professions, Max HP +55, Physique +2

【Novice Village Treasure Map】: Since ancient times, the Novice Village has buried an astonishing treasure; legend says only the fated can find it!

The two level-10 green items cannot be equipped either.

However, this treasure map piqued Xiao Feng's interest greatly.

"Who knows, maybe we can dig up an artifact!" he thought to himself.

He opened the treasure map item, and a flat map came into view.

This map is undoubtedly a top-down view of the Novice Village; the village, grasslands, and forests are all drawn clearly.

And the treasure location is deep in the forest, inside a cave at the foot of a small mountain.

"The treasure is buried in the cave…… Isn't that obvious? No need to dig, just go in—what more fate is needed?"

Xiao Feng couldn't help but retort.

But his body honestly headed toward the target location.

The forest is populated with level-9 lynx monsters, resembling small tigers, with high attack power.

But facing Xiao Feng's over 200,000 magic missiles, they were simply one-shot kills, his steps never pausing.

The cave wasn't far; he arrived in a few minutes.

At the forest's end appeared a bald rocky mountain, with a person-high cave mouth appearing there, very conspicuous.

Even more conspicuous, the top of the cave entrance was carved with the four large characters "Treasure Location," even more blatant than "There is no silver worth three hundred taels here."

"Aliens made this game, it's pretty stupid—no wonder the cerebral capacity of players worldwide is over 50% above average……"

Xiao Feng made a snarky remark and walked into the cave.

The cave interior had no monsters, very quiet.

After walking over 200 meters in one breath, the ahead suddenly became spacious.

A glittering mountain of gold appeared before Xiao Feng, entirely made of gold coins, at first glance numbering in the millions!

"Holy shit! Is this really the treasure?"

Xiao Feng had thought such an obvious treasure spot wouldn't have anything good, but he never expected to stumble upon this sight upon entering!

Millions of gold coins!

If he could take them all, wouldn't he get rich in a flash?

Although the economies of "All Heavens" and Earth are not interconnected, preventing direct cash conversion, offline trading is completely unaffected.

Millions of gold coins, estimated to be worth over hundreds of millions in the early game!

Xiao Feng stared for a moment, then reacted, sprinting forward in a dash.

However, when he arrived before the "Gold Mountain," ready to reach out and collect the coins, a voice suddenly sounded around him.

"Are challengers nowadays this weak, not even level 10, yet dare to challenge me?"

Immediately, the gold mountain before him collapsed with a boom!

The gold coins vanished, replaced by a fully golden, mighty and majestic male lion!

"Damn?"

Xiao Feng's face darkened, "My money!!"

Taking a closer look, the golden lion before him was over 5 meters tall, like an elephant.

Looking at its stats, he was instantly dumbfounded.

【Golden Lion—Aotugu (Mythic Leader)】

Level: 50

HP: 3,000,000/3,000,000

【Notice: Target level exceeds own by 30 levels, cannot read detailed info】

Aside from name, level, and HP, all other attributes are invisible!

"A level 50 mythic boss!"

"This is the Novice Village???"

Xiao Feng was momentarily speechless.

Of course, he simply felt annoyed, not afraid.

The golden lion lowered its head, gazing down at him, speaking in human words: "Challenger, your greedy eyes tell me you've come to seize the treasure."

"What's the problem? The entrance clearly says 'Treasure Location,' so why won't you let me in?" Xiao Feng said bluntly.

It's merely a 50‑level mythic boss, what's with the big‑shot act!

"Ottogu has always despised greedy people, but this is a place under the gods' protection—I don't want to slaughter innocents and provoke the gods. Go on your way; I'll pretend you never came." said the Golden Lion, then he lay down lazily again.

"Tsk tsk, even a mere 50‑level mythic boss acts like a big deal." Xiao Feng, who possesses the Divine Might talent, felt quite displeased seeing the boss look down on him with such an aloof attitude.

It's just a game—how can a proper player still be looked down on by a monster?

Without a word, he launched a magic missile as his opening move!

"Foolish."

The Golden Lion Ottogu lay on the ground, lifted one eyelid to glance at him, then continued lying down to sleep.

For such a low‑level skill as a magic missile, it couldn't even be bothered to respond—eating ten thousand of them wouldn't break its defense, and it didn't care at all.

However…

Smack!

The magic missile struck the Golden Lion's forehead.

-201909

A horrifying damage number popped up, and Ottogu, who was just about to sleep, was instantly dazed.

At level 7, Xiao Feng's magic attack had already reached 24 points, normally capable of dealing 260,000 damage!

Ottogu inherently has some damage reduction and high defense, which is why the damage was only just over 200,000.

Even so, 200,000 damage still knocked off more than 5% of the boss's HP!

"What's going on?" the Golden Lion shuddered and jumped up instantly.

"Kid, your magic missile… how can it hurt this much?!" it raised its forepaw, rubbing its lion face, obviously in pain.

Xiao Feng shrugged, "Looks and damage are proportional—I can't help it."

Then with a "biu" he tossed another missile.

"Stop! Hold your fire! Don't hit me!"

Ottogu took another magic missile, his HP dropping a total of 13%, and he instantly grew panicky.

He lowered his proud stance, a bit anxiously saying, "Don't hit me—name your treasure and I'll give it to you!"

Xiao Feng blinked at this, "What do you mean? You're such a formidable boss, yet you wimp out after two missiles?"

After all, it's a 50‑level mythic boss; although his magic missile hurts, if it fought back a casual strike could instantly kill him.

The Golden Lion Ottogu replied in an aggrieved tone: "You adventurers can respawn infinitely, but I only have one life… You're so powerful, you must have inherited the power of some Supreme God. In that case, giving you the treasure is justified."

Xiao Feng's mouth twitched.

Even the boss is afraid of death?

But that makes sense—mythic‑level bosses usually don't respawn; once dead, they stay dead.

Under the conditions of highly intelligent extraterrestrial technology, it's not surprising that these monsters possess some human traits.

"What treasures do you have? And… why do you say one must inherit a Supreme God's power to receive your treasure?" Xiao Feng asked.

Ottogu lay back on the ground, lowered his posture, and explained: "I was originally the mount of the War God Asata; my master was unfortunately slain by the Bloodthirsty Demon God in the Abyssal War three thousand years ago. The gods took pity on me, letting me bring my master's legacy back to the primordial land to seek a suitable adventurer to inherit the War God's power…"

Hearing this, Xiao Feng's eyes lit up.

This means a hidden class is definitely in the bag!

And it's a Supreme‑God‑level hidden class—absolutely awesome!

"So you want to give me the War God's legacy now?" he said with a grin.

The Golden Lion Ottogu replied awkwardly: "I did have that idea, but you're a mage. The master's legacy only suits a knight class; unless you willingly give up all your current abilities and change class, you can't inherit it."

"A knight? Hell no, I'll pass…"

Upon hearing it was a tank class, Xiao Feng felt a visceral repulsion.

But then he thought, after all it's a Supreme God's legacy—giving it up just like that would be a shame.

So he asked again: "Can this legacy be transferred?"
