450 Chapter 450 - Huge Restoration (1/2)
The game employees were all dumbfounded as they witnessed the two men, Gu Fei and Eternal Dominion, toy with the enraged Shadowmist Assassin in the palm of their hands.
”What an exciting collaboration!” someone could not help but exclaim. The two players on the screen took up the role of attacker and defender, respectively; their intricate combination allowed them to evenly bear the workload of facing the Shadowmist Assassin. As such, the greatest advantage of speed that the Shadowmist Assassin held did not appear to be as frightening as before. They worked in such a way that there was no need for Gu Fei to waste time defending when attacking, while there was no need for Eternal Dominion to find time to prepare an attack while defending.
Ye Xiaowu was ever paler. He had presumed that Gu Fei would be unable to deal with the Shadowmist Assassin once its stats increased from the enrage state, but he had unfortunately failed to realize the skills Eternal Dominion possessed. It was only at this point that he realized: This Fighter looked to be the same sort of person as that Mage, boasting an impressive prowess that the average Joe lacked.
”How could this be…” Ye Xiaowu muttered to himself.
A colleague beside him saw his ghastly pallor, but having no idea what the man was thinking, this man simply attributed it to Ye Xiaowu feeling guilty about his design causing such mishap; this someone even tried to console him, ”Chief Ye, don't worry. This will all be settled soon. You'll just have to work hard on fixing this after.”
What could Ye Xiaowu say at this point? All he could do was bury his head and laugh bitterly. Fix it? Will I even have the opportunity to do that? Ye Xiaowu had a rather foreboding feeling about this.
Gu Fei and Eternal Dominion were both of course unaware that there were so many pairs of eyes closely watching their progress; the two of them focused every bit of their soul and fiber of their body to deal with the attacks from the Shadowmist Assassin as they concentrated wholeheartedly to block and retaliate every time the BOSS struck. Finally, after Eternal Dominion threw the Shadowmist Assassin up in the air with his Seismic Toss, Gu Fei leaped right past it; the flaming arc he drew with his sword slashed across the Shadowmist Assassin. Its entire body set alight as it landed painfully on the ground and rolled about.
Gu Fei heaved a sigh of relief. This was the end. It was finally over. The two of them had finally successfully slain this BOSS.
”I wonder what it would drop? If it is some top-grade equipment, we can definitely earn quite a bit of money selling it,” Gu Fei told Eternal Dominion.
”Money…” Eternal Dominion's eyes were like stars. ”I haven't expected that it's so easy to earn money in games.”
The Shadowmist Assassin began to drop its loot. Gold coins scattered all over as the BOSS rolled about on the ground. Eternal Dominion wanted to bound over in his excitement and pick them all up but was held back by Gu Fei. ”Wait a moment. It might be a trick.”
”What trick could there be?” Eternal Dominion did not understand.
All Gu Fei could think about was his experience with BOSSES that faked their surrender, so he did not dare to be too careless. It was only until the Shadowmist Assassin lay on the ground, unmoving, and dropped all its loot that he truly believed that this BOSS was dead.
”Looks like he's really dead,” Gu Fei said.
Eternal Dominion quickly flung himself over to snatch the gold coins on the ground as quickly as he could, as if every coin would sink into the ground at any moment and could no longer be found.
”The eyes of a mouse can only see an inch of light!” Gu Fei scoffed, ”Didn't I tell you that the truly valuable drops here are the top-grade equipment?!” With that, he stepped forward and picked up the dagger on the ground. Peering at it, he exclaimed, ”Fuck, it's white-tier!” Nobody said anything about the BOSS only dropping top-grade equipment. Sometimes, it would also drop some common items. Gu Fei already had a dagger, and he was not about to start a collection, so he casually tossed it aside.
”That's still worth something if we sell it to the merchants,” Eternal Dominion said as he scrambled to pick up the dagger Gu Fei had flung aside. The merchant he was talking about was the various NPCs that manned the system-operated shops. Players could sell anything to them, but the price that they would offer was abysmally low.
”Look here. This is what's truly valuable!” Gu Fei said, as he lobbed over the second item he picked up to Eternal Dominion.
[Skill Scroll: Shadowmist Assault, Assassin skill. Instantly appear and execute a high-speed strike that deals a powerful blow to the target.]
”How much do you think that is worth?” Eternal Dominion asked as he examined it.
”We'll talk about that when we head back.” Gu Fei did not mention that he had no idea himself.
The third item he picked up was a book. Gu Fei saw 'Andrew Su's Diary' written on its cover.
”Andrew Su? Is that this guy's name?” Gu Fei mumbled to himself as he casually browsed through the pages within. It looked to be a narrative of Andrew Su's tale after he was lost in the fog. Naturally, Gu Fei was not in the mood to properly read through it at the moment, so he casually placed it into his dimensional pocket and picked up the remaining two pieces of equipment still left on the ground.
”F*ck! F*ck!” Gu Fei swore twice and tossed them one by one, for the two items were both white-tier equipment. This meant that this BOSS had only dropped one skill scroll and a weird diary, and there was no top-grade equipment at all.
Meanwhile, Eternal Dominion was seemingly oblivious to all that had happened, as he happily picked up all the coins the BOSS had dropped. The man carefully picked up every single gold coin that rolled off Andrew Su, counting as he went. He ended up with a total of 241 gold coins. Adding to that bottle of liquor Young Master Han had given him, which was worth 200 gold coins, he earned himself a total of 441 gold coins. Eternal Dominion was extremely elated once he did the math. The highest amount he had seen ever since he started playing this game was 200 gold coins, and that was the amount that a whole bunch of people had managed to raise for him for his Job Class Advancement. Of course, this money was spent really quickly, and the amount of money he had never got past three digits after.
”Let's see if there's anything left on its body,” Eternal Dominion muttered as he rifled through the Shadowmist Assassin's corpse. This was the outcome of every BOSS; players would not even let them off in death.
Gu Fei was contacting the other members of Young Master's Elite. ”Where are you guys?”
