“Pay attention to your healing. The General is about to die.” Li Mu says it excitedly, with his eyes wide open.
Keng!
“1148!”
A large damage number appears over my head as the Skeleton General’s final desperate attack hits. Fortunately, I have enough health to withstand the attack, I don’t want to think of the other possible outcome…
“Mages, stop your attacks!” General Lian Po yells out: “Xiao Yao gets the last hit on the Boss. We agreed on it before the fight started and we do not go back on our word!”
Immediately, the group of mages and musketeers all stop attacking. I see my MP is only a little over 200 so I eat a Indigo Sea Pill and activate a Level 5 [Strength of a Thousand Men]. The custom combo hits the Skeleton General’s body and a river of blood flows from his chest as he dies. In less than 8 minutes, we took down a level 52 Gold rank Boss!
…
“Woosh!”
My experience bar increased by 40%. Directly killing the Boss really does give a lot of experience. Rumor has it that Jian Feng Han and Yan Zhao keep themselves on the leaderboards by getting the experience from last hitting Bosses. They grind on many Silver and Bronze ranked Bosses everyday while I have to grind on normal monsters. I guess it’s unavoidable that they’re a higher level than me since they have many followers while I am a solo swordsman.
“Arrrgghhhh…..”
The Skeleton General collapses and items burst forward on the floor. I scan the items once and take a few steps back, pointing to the pile with a smile: “ Li Mu, this was your boss. So, why don’t you distribute the items?”
Li Mu chuckles and nods. Walking up to the pile, a flicker of disappointment runs across his face. The rare Guild Creation Tablet did not drop. Still, Li Mu gathers a large pile of equipment, turns and says with a large smile: “Now, I will divide up the equipment drops.”
【Black Wind Chestplate]:
Level 42 Silver Tier
Defense 117
Attack + 25
Magic Power + 11
Increases defense by 0.5%
【Inked Jade Staff]:
Level 44 Silver Tier
Female mages only
Magic attack 170 – 255
Magic power +27
Strength +18
Increases magic attack by 2%
【Falling Rain Boots]:
Level 42 Silver Tier cloth armor
Defense 49
Magic power +25
Agility +17
Increases magic attacks by 0.7%.
…
“Xiao Yao, would you like the 【Black Wind Chestplate]? Level 42, Silver tier?” Li mu asks.
I stand next to the Boss’s corpse and shake my head: “No, my chestplate is Gold tier.”
Li Mu laughs: “Ok, I should have known. If it wasn’t Gold tier, how would you have enough defense to tank the Boss? Then the Generals will take this chestplate. Ba Qi, Wan Jian; You two should discuss it amongst yourselves as to who should get it.”
“Ok.”
Li Mu picks up the 【Inked Jade Staff]: ”This is a female spell casters only Staff. Sadly, we only have male mages. What should we do with it?”
I think for a bit and propose a solution: “Why not let Who’s Blue and Not Red Yet roll for it? I know it’s for mages but the +27 magic power and 18 strength is what healers need too.”
“Ok, you guys roll for it.”
After a few minutes, the 【Inked Jade Staff] goes to Not Yet Red. She smiles as if she just tasted something sweet.
The last equipment, the 【Falling Rain Boots], goes to a level 39 male mage who rolled for it. Sadly, this item seems wasted as he could not even equip it because his level is too low.
…
“And there are 25 gold coins here. Let’s divide it evenly” Li Mu kept a fair sense of equality and justice in this lawless game.
I look at the leader board for Ba Huang City. After killing the Boss, I gained a lot of experience. Although I have not leveled up, I did enter the top 10 but my rank is still far from rank one and two; those two level up at an astonishing speed.
