  Snow Chaser impatiently walked to the treasure chest and looked towards Li Yi.

  “Can I open it? I have really good luck!”

  Li Yi waved his hand, signaling for her to open it.

  [System Notification: Treasure chest opening, 30 seconds countdown.]

  [System Notification: Treasure chest opening, 29 seconds countdown.] ……

  After the countdown ended, the treasure chest shook in its place and a few items dropped.

  [Equipment: Rapid Wrist Guard]

  [Quality: Excellent

  [Excellent Attributes: Agility +7, Critical Hit +2%]

  [Equipment Requirements: Level 5]

  [Item: Magic Shield (skill book)]

  [Usage Requirements: Magic Apprentice]

  [Effect: Creates a magic shield to block damage. Resists damage with maximum MP. Consumes 3 MP per second. Skill Cooldown: 60 seconds!]

  [Maximum level: Level 10!]

  [Item: Double Potion’s Blessing (permanent item)]

  [Effect: When you carry it in your backpack. There would be a higher chance of obtaining double the amount of potions every time you make a potion!]

  “Hehe! Look, my luck is very good. This magic shield is mine, right? The other two are yours!!”

  Li Yi was also shocked. Her luck was immensely powerful, it was as though she had used golden hands to touch the chest. This was because the other two items that dropped were definitely priceless.

  “Thanks!!”

  Li Yi immediately put on the wrist guard. His speed had increased by a lot. The most important thing was the item Double Potion’s Blessing. It was definitely something that could not be bought with thousands of gold coins.

  In the game world, as long as the word ‘permanent’ was mentioned in an item, it was priceless. In his previous life, he had only seen a few permanent items like those that were sold by others.

  He did not expect to see a permanent item in the early stages of the game. It was definitely a fortune that was brought from the heavens. Snow Chaser’s luck was amazing.

  As soon as he put the item into his backpack, he immediately saw someone walking towards him from afar. His black hair danced wildly in the wind. He had a golden longsword and a purple cloak that swayed like the ocean waves, and there was only killing intent in his eyes. He looked at the two people in front of him as if they were filthy ants.

  [Boss: Level 8 second-in-charge of Bandits — Willy]

  [Rarity: Black-iron]

  [HP: 13,000]

  [Physical Attack: 350]

  [Physical Defense: 110]

  [Magic Defense: 100]

  [Boss Skill: ???]

  [Black-iron Skill: ???] ……

  This boss only had a little bit more HP than him. However, the boss’s recovery speed was definitely not as fast as his. At this moment, there was no need for him to move around too much. He just needed to finish the boss as quickly as possible.

  After looking at the attributes of the boss, Snow Chaser widened her eyes and said in shock, “Got thing I picked up the magic shield. Otherwise, I probably wouldn’t be able to withstand a single blow from the boss and would’ve been instantly killed!”

  Li Yi said, “Let’s go! Once you open the treasure chest, you can’t escape anymore. You must accept the boss fight. Otherwise, the rewards will be taken back by the system!”

  Snow Chaser frowned from the information and said, “There’s such a thing? This magic shield is too important for me not to use. I don’t want it to be taken back.”

  The boss noticed the two of them and immediately let out a loud roar. His eyes turned blood red as he dashed towards the pair.

  “Swish!”

  The sword in the boss’s hand shined with bright light. Clearly, the quality of this weapon was very high, it could even be comparable to Li Yi’s weapon. However, Li Yi was not too sure if the boss would drop this high-quality weapon.

  “Be careful!” Snow Chaser shouted.

  Li Yi did not retreat at all. He raised his greatsword and clashed his weapon with the boss. With a metallic sound, Li Yi was forced a few steps back by the boss’s sword. Then, the boss struck his lower abdomen.

  “-645! Weak Point Damage!”

  “-32! Counter Damage!”

  When players fought with bosses like these, it was a high chance that they would lose. This would include if there was a party that fought the boss too. The boss’s attack was not as simple as being forced back by a few steps.

  “As expected, his strength is surprisingly great. If I were to compare myself to him, his strength might be lagging just by a little bit! However, I’m not someone to be trifled with!” After Li Yi spoke, he readied his stance for an attack.

  “Raging Blood Roar!”

  “-1577.”

  Li Yi’s blood flowed through his body and it boosted his body. Gaining this energy, he used this attack to instantly stun the boss on the spot. He went up and aimed at the boss’s weak point — his fragile neck — and used a series of skills. He used Combo first, and then Heavy Strike.

  “211! Weak Point Damage!”

  “522! Weak Point Damage, Critical Strike!”

  “450! Weak Point Damage”

  A series of skills flurried down and directly took away a large amount of the boss’s HP. The heavily injured boss got out of the stun and let out an angry roar.

  “Concentrated Blood Strike!”

  The boss’s right arm suddenly expanded as blood flowed greatly to it, boosting the power of the arm. This caused the blade of the sword to tremble from its deathly grip. Then, a huge bright blood-red sword ferociously swung towards Li Yi.

  Li Yi looked at the blood-red sword in front of him, but he did not dodge the attack. This skill probably could not deal much damage to him.

  He knew a little about the effect of the boss’s skill. This was a skill used by the high-defense warriors in his previous life to lure monsters. However, this skill effect could be extremely useful to him. It would be great if it dropped as a skill book so that he could learn it!

  “-301!”

  “-15! Counter Damage!”

  The skill’s damage was not that great, if it was an ordinary person, no matter who it was, they would have been instantly killed unless they used an invincible skill!

  While the boss used his skill, Li Yi raised his double-edged steel sword and swung a few times at the opponent’s neck.

  “-311! Weak Point Damage!”

  “-342! Weak Point Damage!” ……

  In just a few strikes, the player and the boss clashed head-on in front of Snow Chaser. Neither of them was afraid of the other! ……

  Snow Chaser was stunned by the unfolding event. She even suspected that this was a boss-to-boss battle. Having a one-on-one battle with a boss, was it something that a player could do?

  If you attack me once, I shall return the favor by threefold!

  It should be known that when normal players fought a boss, they would be in a state of near-death. They would have to carefully avoid the boss’s skills. If they were not careful, they would be wiped out.

  At this moment, Snow Chaser’s understanding of the game had completely collapsed. Using Fireball as an attack now would just be deemed useless. The boss did not even have the time to bother with her.

  Suddenly, feelings of being ignored harbored in Snow Chaser’s heart. This was practically the home ground of the two bosses, and she was just spectating this fight!! ……

  Time passed bit by bit, and everything went very smoothly. However, the HP of the second-in-charge was far from the health of the other party. Very soon, the boss was left with a small amount of HP.

  At this moment, the boss’s prestige was no longer there. No matter how strong the boss was, the boss could not withstand such a fight. His entire body was covered in blood. On the other hand, Li Yi was getting more and more excited as he fought!

  Right when the boss was left with 20% HP, the boss quickly jumped back a few times. Then, the boss suddenly raised the blood-red sword in his hand up high. An obscure incantation reverberated in the surrounding area as if there was some important skill that he wanted to use.

  “Hehe! You’ve played enough, it’s time for you to go,” Li Yi said with excitement in his tone.

  Raging Blood Roar, Combo, and Heavy Strike was carried out in a series of attacks and the remaining HP of the boss dropped to a zero. Then, the boss dropped to his knees and fell to the ground.

  Defeated.

  Chapter 24: Concentrated Blood Strike, Defensive Potion Successfully Made

  Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

  The second-in-charge of the Bandits, Willy, let out a mournful howl as he slowly fell to the ground. Once that happened, only then did Snow Chaser recover from her shock. She looked at the almost boss-like player in front of her with a strange expression as he picked up the equipment.

  The drop rate this time was not bad, but it was a pity that the blood-red sword in the boss’s hand did not drop. However, what dropped was a skill book, a pair of boots, and a mission item.

  Li Yi first looked at the skill book.

  [Item: Concentrated Blood Strike (skill book)]

  [Usage Requirement: Warrior Apprentice]

  [Effect: Lock on skill. Creatures with lower HP than the user would not be able to dodge it, causing differential damage in HP. If HP is higher than the user’s, the user would be unable to lock on to the target. This causes damage equal to 1% of the user’s attack power! No mana consumption, cooldown time would be 30 Seconds!]

  “This? It actually dropped!!”

  Li Yi looked at the skill book in his hand in surprise. The difference in HP was definitely a great weapon for him. This skill was very compatible with his SSS-grade talent — Blood Devour.

  In reality, when the fight happened, the boss could not deal much damage to him because the difference in HP between him and the boss was very small. The boss only had a few hundred more HP than him. If it was anyone else, they would have definitely been killed in one hit.

  Now, it was Li Yi’s turn to learn the skill, normal players would definitely not be able to withstand this skill of his. Moreover, it was a lock-on skill. Once learned, there was no way for him to retreat from this skill. In hindsight, this skill could be his trump card in the future!

  Li Yi immediately learned the skill happily. Then, he looked at another piece of equipment.

  [Equipment: Light Twin Boots]

  [Quality: Excellent]

  [Movement Speed: 1.7 Meters/second]

  [Excellent Attribute: Agility +9]

  [Equipment Condition: Level 5]

  It was not bad, this pair of boots was not bad at all! It increases the user’s movement speed by a lot. In the future, they would have much less time to travel.

  Finally, there was the mission item. It was similar to the description of the crystal plate that he obtained yesterday, except that this one was red in color.

  After that, he kept all these into his backpack and walked up to Snow Chaser.

  “You’ve seen the items that dropped just now. There’s nothing that you need. Otherwise, I would’ve given it to you!”

  Snow Chaser shook her head and replied.

  “Well…… I didn’t help with this boss either. Even if there was something that I needed, I would have used my money to buy it. Otherwise, I definitely won’t want it. I’m happy I obtained a magic shield just now.

  “I’ll never let go of this magic shield no matter how many others offer their high prices to me!”

  Li Yi nodded and said, “Alright then! I should go back now. Let’s go together!”

  “Agreed! Today’s dropped loot has been satisfying. As expected of the number one party in the village! I still have to go back and replenish a bunch of Mana Potions. This new weapon of mine is simply too useful!!”

  Snow Chaser also happily ran outside.

  …

  Not long after, Li Yi and Snow Chaser had arrived at the village. Snow Chaser seemed to have received some news, and her expression immediately became a little ugly. She immediately said, “Carefree Dream, I have some urgent matters in the real world. Let’s train again tomorrow!”

  “Got it! You go ahead.”

  Li Yi waved his hand and did not mind. Although he could see that it was definitely something bad, this was someone else’s private matter. He decided that there was no need to inquire about it!

  Snow Chaser immediately went offline. It seemed that she was very anxious.

  Li Yi also wanted to hand in his mission at this moment. Suddenly, he saw his friend list flash a few times. He immediately opened it to check and saw the message sent by Little Merchant.

  [LM: Carefree Dream, I’ve produced the potion. However, there are three ingredients that are very difficult to obtain. I have searched for a long time and only managed to obtain a little!]

  Looking at this news, Li Yi immediately became spirited. Little Merchant’s speed in creating potions was really fast. To be able to create it so quickly, he was indeed worthy of being a famous potion master in his previous life.

  [CD: Come to the warehouse and look for me. I have something here for you too. You’ll definitely be interested!!]

  [LM: Don’t tell me you have the materials? I’ll come over immediately!!]

  Li Yi then walked towards the warehouse in the village. From afar, he saw Little Merchant waiting there. This fellow was still at level 2. As expected, the merchant did not care about his level at all.

  At this moment, Little Merchant saw Li Yi in his sights. He immediately looked around carefully and spoke softly.

  “Increase level by x15 of experience points within an hour, as well as 10% physical and magic defense. The properties of this potion are simply explosive. How much do you think we should sell it for?”

  “Now’s not the time to sell it. Everyone doesn’t have many gold coins right with them. You just have to work hard to make this potion now. Patience would be a virtue when it comes to potions like these!”

  Little Merchant immediately agreed and then asked another question.

  “Oh right, what do you want to give me? Why did you need me to come over?”

  Li Yi took out all the medicinal ingredients and threw them to the merchant.

  “Damn, how do you know the ingredients for the Defense Potion? Especially the three most important ones? How about this, you can’t be at a disadvantage. How much can the medicine be sold for this time? You’ll take 70%, and I’ll take 30%!”

  “Oh! Really? Then what about this thing, what are you going to exchange for it?” Li Yi immediately took out the item he had just obtained while he replied.

  The merchant looked at the small item in front of him with puzzlement. He had never seen this thing before. How much could it be worth?

  However, when he looked at the attributes of this item, his eyeballs almost popped out. His breathing became rapid and he hurriedly reached out his hand to take a look.

  At this moment, Li Yi immediately put it back and looked at Little Merchant indifferently!

  [Item: Double Potion’s Blessing (permanent item)]

  [Effect: When you carry it in your backpack. There would be a higher chance of obtaining double the amount of potions every time you make a potion!]

  “This is…… such an awesome item, where did you get it? I…… I don’t think I can afford it!!!” Little Merchant ran around in circles. He scratched his ears and cheeks as he thought about how to afford it. After a long time, Little Merchant seemed to have made up his mind and said seriously.

  “Give me this thing, and I’ll give you 10% of the money I earn from refining potions in the future…… No, I’ll give you 15%, how about it?!”

  “Go and look it up on the official website. It’s a permanent item, and it just happens to be a suitable item for you. You probably won’t be able to see a second item like this in your lifetime, you understand?”

  When Little Merchant heard this, he stomped his foot and took a deep breath before saying in a very serious tone, “From now on, I will give you 30% of the money I earn. I can even sign a contract with you, and I never go back on my word!”

  “Deal!”

  Divine Revelation indeed had a contract system. As long as both parties agreed on something, they had to stick to it. Otherwise, the system would forcefully take back the item or game currency.

  Li Yi then signed a contract with Little Merchant and handed the permanent item to him.

  The merchant hugged it in his arms and took a deep sniff. Then, he quickly stored the item in his warehouse. He took it out, admired it. Then, he stored it again. It seemed like he would not feel at ease no matter where he put it.

  “Alright, you decide on what to do with it. I should go!”

  Li Yi did not care about him, and left the scene. He was a very busy man!
