  Li Yi quickly walked towards the treasure chest to open it.

  [System Notification: Treasure chest opening. Countdown time, 30 seconds.] ……

  When the countdown ended, the treasure chest trembled and several items flew out.

  [Flawless Attribute: Agility +14]

  [Item: Gale Combo (Skill Book)]

  [Usage Requirement: Fast-attack Warrior, agility attributes must be higher than 40 points]

  [Effect: Infuses the power of cyclone into the weapon, inflicts 90%, 110%, or 140% of the enemy’s agility and physical attack with 3 consecutive slashes, during which there is a small chance of stunning the enemy!]

  [Requirements: This skill costs 50 MP peruse, the cooldown time is 60 seconds, [Highest Level: Level 10]

  [Additional Notes: This skill will cover basic combo skills!] ……

  Li Yi’s luck was not bad. Moreover, he had a ring now. After completing this mission, he would level up again and get to use a flawless-grade ring.

  Perfect-grade equipment carried special skills. He could not change it just for a flawless-grade ring.

  Li Yi immediately put on the boots and quickly walked over to the last monster. He raised his sword and dealt the final blow to the Bandit.

  Under Clutch King’s dumbfounded gaze, he was handed a ring, a skill book, and a pair of boots Li Yi had previously worn.

  Li Yi remembered that this guy had changed his class to a Fast-attack Warrior at level 10.

  This skill book was very suitable for Clutch King, and this would also increase his chances of defeating Li Yi by 0.0001%! An amazing offer!

  Clutch King looked at the equipment in his hand and was about to say a word of thanks. Before he could, he saw an angry man run out of the innermost cave. At that moment, the Bandit leader looked like a mage.

  His large black magic robe fluttered wildly in the wind, and his black hair frantically bounced on his head while he ran over. There was a strange black snake coiled around the tip of his white skeleton staff. He was a completely different person from the Bandits outside!

  “Filthy weak humans, who gave you the courage to come here and steal treasure? Did the name outside the cave not scare you enough?”

  Li Yi stepped forward to check Wiles’s attributes.

  [Boss: Level 9 Bandit Leader — Wiles]

  [Rarity: Gray-silver]

  [HP: 40,000]

  [Physical Attack: 185]

  [Magic Attack: 390]

  [Physical Defense: 150]

  [Magic Defense: 220]

  [Boss Skill: ???]

  [Gray-silver Skill: ???] ……

  As a Mage-type boss, he was very afraid of physical attacks.

  “Be careful, this boss’s magic attack attributes are very high!” After stating the facts, Li Yi directly charged forward.

  “Raging Blood Roar!”

  “-4,799!”

  [System Notification: This boss is immune to negative status effects!]

  At this moment, his HP had reached 41,133, and the damage done was quite high. He directly took away more than one-tenth of the boss’s HP. However, this boss was immune to the stun that came after using the skill Raging Blood Roar.

  Li Yi did not care whether the stun had an effect or not, and directly launched another flurry of attacks.

  “-420.”

  “-541.”

  “-1,800! Critical Hit!” ……

  The boss received a heavy blow from Li Yi. In retaliation, the boss suddenly raised the skull scepter in his hand. The dim light around his body flickered around him non-stop. In the blink of an eye, a black dragon appeared around his body.

  “Be careful, this is the Black Dragon’s Charge. It attacks without any mercy! The damage bonus received will be very high!”

  Two seconds later, the black dragon suddenly charged towards the both of them. Fortunately, only Li Yi took damage.

  “-677.”

  A number appeared above Li Yi’s head, and Clutch King received a notification. Based on the ring and shoes he had obtained from Li Yi, his speed had been greatly increased. Clutch King barely dodged the attack; otherwise, he would have been instantly killed.

  Li Yi hastily spoke, “Clutch King, you should stand back. This boss is not someone you can interfere with. You can just watch how I defeat this boss from afar!”

  Clutch King was not the kind of fool who would refuse to leave when he knew how powerful his opponents were, so he immediately retreated and watched the battle from a distance.

  The boss’s Black Dragon Charge had a cooldown time, but the Fireball Spell he had did not.

  Li Yi immediately swung his weapon and swiftly moved behind the boss.

  “Critical Hit!”

  He immediately slashed the boss. Now, the boss had about 3,000 HP lesser than him. This time, the damage was much higher.

  “-7,111! Critical Hit!”

  As a counterattack, the boss swung his staff backward, but Li Yi easily dodged it. However, the snake on the staff was a living creature, and it quickly opened its mouth and latched on to Li Yi. The snake instantly released venom into his veins.

  [System Notification: You have received venom from the boss’s snake. HP will be reduced by 300 per second. This will last for 20 seconds!]

  “F*ck! I thought it was a fake pet this whole time. I was too careless!”

  Li Yi reacted quickly. The moment the snake retreated, he immediately swung his sword at it. The little snake had very little HP which caused it to die tragically under the magic weapon in an instant!

  The death of the pet stunned the boss. His eyes burned with fire as he stared at the murderer in front of him. He hated this murderer as much as the one that killed his father!

  Wiles roared, “How dare you kill Blackie! I want you dead!!”

  Wiles raised the skeleton scepter in his hand once again. Strobes of black light illuminated the surrounding area. In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen black dragons appeared around the boss’s body. They bared their fangs and brandished their claws. It was a terrifying sight to behold!

  [System Notification: Wiles’ beloved pet has died. He has fallen into extreme grief. Disarray the mana in his body. All skills have a cooldown of 0. Spell consumption is 0. This lasts for 30 seconds! When the effect ends, he will be in a near-death state. His attributes will be reduced by 90%!]

  “F*ck! If I had known earlier, I wouldn’t have killed that snake!!!”

  Right about when Li Yi finished his sentence, more than a dozen black dragons rushed out and charged straight towards him.

  “-633.”

  “-1,201! Critical Hit!”

  “-677.” ……

  A series of attacks this quick definitely did not leave any room for survival. Even those with more than 40,000 HP could not withstand such a fierce pursuit. His health had been directly reduced by a quarter. More than 10,000 of his HP had disappeared.

  Meanwhile, there was still large amounts of black lightning that slowly condensed in the air at the moment, and its power was absolutely terrifying. Even if he could recover his HP, he would not be able to withstand a few more waves!

  Li Yi hurriedly ran out of the cave. Clutch King had already slipped away when he saw the amount of damage Li Yi took. Knowing this, Li Yi secretly cursed this guy for being so ungrateful. It was simply detestable.

  However, were Clutch King to stay, he probably would not be able to hold on for even a second longer and would die under the attacks of countless black dragons.

  Furthermore, even a guild with several hundred people would have to fight tooth and nail to defeat this boss!

  As expected, the silver boss was indeed a terrifying monster!

  Chapter 34: The First To Clear The Silver Boss, Level 10 Dungeon Opening

  Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

  Li Yi ran out of the cave and towards the guy who laughed maniacally in the distance. Perhaps this guy was shocked that Li Yi did not die even after such a fierce attack.

  “What the f*ck, you didn’t die even after such a fierce attack from the boss? This is absolutely impossible! Here I was thinking that I could wait for the boss to end his Berserked state to take revenge for you. Looks like there’s no hope.”

  “Pfft! You?”

  Li Yi glanced at him and could not be bothered to waste his breath. This guy’s character was just like that. Most of the time, he was extremely unreliable, but in the face of major issues, he was definitely someone who could hold on to his own.

  Clutch King gritted his teeth, but there was nothing he could do. After all, with his current strength, he really could not defeat him.

  “Hmph! I’ll definitely defeat you and become your big brother one day!” ……

  The two of them waited for 30 seconds before they walked back into the cave. They saw that the surroundings were in a mess. There were deep pits everywhere. Some of the wooden equipment had also been reduced to dust. One could imagine the frenzied attack that happened.

  The leader of the bandits fell to the ground weakly. His staff had also fallen apart. It seemed that he could not withstand such a huge amount of mana used and became crippled on the floor.

  The two of them ran over and attacked the dying boss frantically. Soon, the boss fell to the ground and dropped some gold coins. There was only but one piece of equipment that fell. Both of their faces darkened from the lack of loot dropped.

  [System Notification: Congratulations to your party for being the first to kill the silver boss Wiles. The reward for the first kill is 100,000 EXP, 10 gold coins, and one piece of perfect-quality equipment.]

  [System Notification: You are the first two players in the entire server to kill a silver boss. An announcement will be made on the entire server. Do you wish to hide your names?]

  The EXP was divided equally, and Li Yi directly leveled up to level 9, while Clutch King leveled up to level 8. Killing the boss was the fastest way to level up!

  However, the EXP bar for leveling up from Level 9 to Level 10 was definitely harder to reach. This was because it was more than five times that of level 8!

  Regarding the announcement, both of them chose to hide their names. After all, both of them had similar personalities. They did not like things that were troublesome!

  Li Yi then looked at the perfect-grade equipment that he had just obtained.

  [Equipment: Gold King’s Combat Belt]

  [Rarity: Perfect]

  [HP: 196]

  [Skill: A passive skill with indestructible battle intent. Increases the recovery rate of one’s HP by 150%. When the maximum HP is less than 50%, the recovery rate will be increased to 300%!]

  [Equipment Condition: Level 10]

  After he equipped it, Li Yi was pleasantly surprised to see the attributes of this perfect-grade equipment. This passive skill was really not bad, and it had even further increased his regeneration speed.

  Right now, he could recover 400+ HP per second, which means that he could gain another 600+ HP when his HP drops by 50%. If a boss went Berserk, his HP regeneration speed would directly soar up to 1,200+. This was definitely a crazy amount!

  Clutch King spoke happily, “That’s fast! I’m only level 8 now, and I’ll be able to change classes soon. When that time comes, I’ll definitely be strong!”

  [System Notification: You have exceeded the maximum time you can stay online. For your safety, the system will force you to go offline in ten minutes. Thank you for your understanding!]

  The two of them looked at each other; both had the same expression on their faces knowing they were about to be forced offline.

  Clutch King directly said, “See you tomorrow!!”

  “Back at ya!”

  Clutch King’s body then slowly disappeared, and he went offline. Li Yi did not go offline immediately, instead, he waited for something. ……

  Then it arrived, the server announcement! This caused all the players to be stunned by the news it provided throughout the Novice Villages.

  [Server Announcement: This is a special announcement, player ****, and player **** have become the first players to successfully kill the level 8 gray-silver boss, Wiles!]

  What??

  A level 8 gray-silver boss had been killed by a player?

  Although the players have hidden their names, the system announcement clearly stated that two players had killed the boss. This was a little hard to swallow for anyone who heard it.

  Even a level 5 black-iron boss would be difficult for them to kill. Only some large guilds were able to take it down. However, even they would find it difficult to kill a gray-silver boss.

  At this moment, the entire server was in an uproar. Everyone was talking about the two players who were so awesome that they managed to kill a gray-silver boss.

  The forums in the real world and other places were looking for these two players. ……

  5 minutes later, the server announcement appeared again.

  [Server Announcement: The first clear of the gray-silver boss has been completed. Now, the level 10 dark dungeons have been opened. The dungeon’s location coordinates have been given to all the major Novice Villages (****, ****). Difficulty level for the dungeons would be simple, normal, elite, abyss, nightmare!]

  [Server Announcement: The party that clears the first nightmare-level dungeon before level 10 will receive an unexpected reward. The rewards for the second, third, and later parties will still be given a generous reward. Players, please enjoy this challenge!]

  Li Yi smiled happily at this. It was exactly the same thing that happened in his previous life. When the first gray-silver boss was killed, a level 10 dungeon would appear. This dungeon was definitely a nightmare for everyone who had not reached level 10.

  It could be said that countless players and guilds had challenged this dungeon for several days. In order to obtain this special reward, they had been wiped out countless times, causing the guild members to lose several levels.

  However, they were still unable to clear the nightmare-level difficulty of the cave. After a while, many people found the root of the issue. It was because everyone’s defense was not high enough. Level 5 equipment would not be able to withstand the high damage given from this dungeon!

  Unless they upgraded to level 10 and wore level 10 equipment, they would not be able to clear this dungeon.

  On the flip side, as long as they upgraded to level 10, they would not be able to obtain this special reward. At one point, people thought that the officials did not want to give the reward and deliberately designed it this way.

  They cursed the officials like crazy. However, the officials did not pay much attention to these players. They only had one statement that shut the people up — ‘If you don’t like playing the game, you can just leave!’. On the fourth day, a player dropped a Defense Potion recipe, which completely changed everyone’s situation.

  When players reach level 15, 10% of their physical and magic defense improves. Currently, most players were around Level 7, which meant that they could increase their physical and magic defense by more than 100 points. The highest level of players right now had 100 points of physical defense, and their magic defense was even lower than that. With this Defense Potion, everyone could easily take down the dungeons before level 10.

  Although it was still very difficult, the chances were always much higher!!

  Li Yi immediately sent out a message

  [CD: Little Merchant, have you heard the system announcement? Hurry up and make more potions. This is a node, and it will be very difficult to sell them at a high price in the future.]

  The little merchant immediately replied.

  [LM: Don’t worry, I’m very familiar with this potion. We should wait a day before we make our move. Otherwise, how would they know how precious Defensive Potions are? Hehe! Also, you really have a lot of faces. You actually managed to ask the Scorching Sun members to give me over ten thousand stalks of medicinal herbs, and they did not charge me at all!!]

  [CD: Yes! I have a little agreement with them. It’s good that they gave it to you. I’m going to go offline first. Leave a message if you have anything else to say!]

  Li Yi logged off after he sent his final message. He thought to himself, ‘This person definitely does not sweat the small stuff…… He really is an expert at making money.’
