Chapter 504 Zeus’ Challenge Again
"The two of you know each other?" Hidden Lurker asked in shock.
"Yes, we do……" Wang Yu nodded but hearing the Zeus’ tone, Wang Yu would rather they didn’t know each other.
Hearing this, Hidden Lurker was a little anxious as he pulled Nian Liuyun in to reprimand him, "I told you not to tell him about Zeus. See? He is closer to Zeus than we are to Zeus……"
In every online game, the more the NPC liked the gamer, the easier the quest. This was a common logic across all games.
For the same quest reward, gamers with favourable impression would only be required to slaughter a small monster at the entrance of a village. Gamers with no favourable impression could be forced to kill a BOSS. This was how drastic impression points could be.
Hidden Lurker entered the house so enthusiastically but Zeus didn’t even look at him once. Instead, he greeted Wang Yu as Master Dragon Slayer first…… From the greeting alone, Hidden Lurker could tell how close the two of them were.
Nian Liuyun scratched his head as he said, "Aiya, I didn’t know Brother Bull will know him."
"Alright, alright, alright. Don’t worry too much, you are fortunate that I am here to help you." After saying that, Hidden Lurker took out a huge bag of gold and handed it to Nian Liuyun. Afterwards, he signalled Nian Liuyun.
Nian Liuyun walked over to Zeus awkwardly, "Master Zeus, I hope you do not mind this small gift on our first meeting." Nian Liuyun handed the big bag of gold over.
"You have great potential." Zeus chuckled as he kept the gold and looked at Nian Liuyun with a totally different mood.
This was a prime example of an NPC in >. Every single one of them was exceedingly shameless and their attitude would change completely as long as enough gold was offered.
"Kid, why are you here? Do you need anything from me?" Zeus received the money and immediately disregarded the ’Master Dragon Slayer’ as he smiled at Nian Liuyun.
"I wish to go to Lorraine Kaji Mountain to pick the Sacred Snow Lotus." Nian Liuyun answered with honesty.
"You want to go to the holy mountain?" Zeus suddenly looked stern and serious, "The holy mountain is the holy land of my clan. Only those who pass the test can enter."
"I am willing to accept the test."
"Alright! Recently, Great Elder Alex is slightly troubled. Go and find him." Zeus waved his hand and instructed Nian Liuyun.
"Alright……" Nian Liuyun accepted the quest and headed out together with Hidden Lurker and co. to find Great Elder Alex.
After dismissing Nian Liuyun, Zeus turned back to Wang Yu and asked, "Master Dragon Slayer, how may I help you?"
"I want to pick Sacred Snow Lotus from the Lorraine Kaji Mountain too. Give me the test too." Wang Yu replied.
Zeus laughed as he replied, "No wonder you are Master Dragon Slayer. I admire your courage so as long as you can defeat me, you can head to the holy mountain."
"F*ck!" Wang Yu almost vomited blood. Indeed, Zeus still hates him after all these while. For such a huge NPC, he sure was extremely petty. To think that he was still trying to salvage some reputation.
"How is this appropriate? You are clearly favouring him!" Wang Yu muttered in distress.
Zeus was an ultimate BOSS on the same level as Hero and Apostle. In fact, he was slightly more powerful than them. A level 50 clone of the Apostle was already so powerful, let alone a level 200 god grade BOSS. Wang Yu was not confident of his strengths to that extent.
"Master Dragon Slayer is naturally not comparable to those small characters. How? If you refuse to accept my challenge, your quest will be considered a failure……" Zeus was evidently trying to use public office to avenge private wrongs. To think that he would make it sound so dignified when he was just another shameless NPC.
"Hold on……" Wang Yu answered, "I can fight you but are you sure a god grade BOSS like you want to bully a level 40 player like me?"
The personal mount quest could only allow for one attempt. If he failed this one, he would never be able to use Qinggong so Wang Yu was definitely not going to give up just like that.
Zeus replied, "Don’t worry, I am not one of those shameless NPC. I will decrease my strength to the same level as you."
As Zeus spoke, he set up the battle boundary which enveloped both Wang Yu and himself.
After entering the boundary, Zeus’ body shrunk to become as small as Wang Yu and he was able to see the attributes of the weakened Zeus.
King of Titan, Zeus (LV40) (Obsidian) (Ancient)
HP: 300000
MP: 50000
Skill: Thunderbolt Shadow, Thunder Smash, Lightning Sparkle, Lightning Sweep
With the previous experience, Zeus became smarter than before. From the skills, one could tell that this fella wasn’t increasing his offensive power but increasing the speed of his attacks.
It seemed like Wang Yu left quite a nightmare for Zeus during the previous encounter.
Wang Yu touched his Adrenaline Pill but chose to put it back to his bag. Facing Zeus in this state, Wang Yu really wanted to challenge his own strength.
After all, it wasn’t as though Wang Yu hadn’t improved after all this while. As compared to when he challenged Zeus back then, Wang Yu doubled his level.
Even though a player improved from level 20 to level 40, his attributes would double. The measure of a player’s strength was not merely based on attributes. It was also dependent on equipment and skills. As compared to when he was level 20, Wang Yu was more than three times stronger than before. If he still needed the Adrenaline Pill to go against a BOSS he defeated before, it would be too embarrassing especially for Wang Yu.
"Master Dragon Slayer, I will not be as careless as I was previously. Watch me!" Zeus knew that Wang Yu was difficult to handle so he decided to act first and act fast. As he spoke, he formed a blue lightning bolt which was sent flying towards Wang Yu.
"F*ck!"
Looking at Zeus’ speed, Wang Yu was inevitably shocked.
He was truly a god grade BOSS. Even though he weakened himself, his speed was frightening. Even with Wang Yu’s judgement, he only managed to catch his shadow.
In the next moment, Zeus appeared behind Wang Yu. With his lightning hammer, he was going to smash Wang Yu’s head from above.
"Bang!"
Wang Yu’s figure was destroyed as his afterimage exploded and it stunned Zeus for a short moment.
Following that, Zeus came back to his senses and as he pointed the lightning hammer forward, he instantly appeared in front.
"Boom!"
Zeus landed and everywhere within 5 metres of him was flooded with explosive lightning bolts. Concurrently, Wang Yu, who wasn’t very far away from Zeus was struck by this lightning bolts and sent into a flying state.
Wang Yu complained in his heart, "F*ck! He can do that? I should have run away from the start……"
"Hahaha! Master Dragon Slayer, you are going to lose this time!" Zeus laughed out loud as he appeared right in front of Wang Yu again. He swung his lightning hammer towards Wang Yu’s head.
