Chapter 41 – Ox-Horn Mountain (1/2)
Fatty left a message to Purple Bell, telling her to contact him when she logs on, then returned to town with the others.
Liu Lan was rather angry along the way, so the pitiful Fatty gained countless extra bruises.
“This is daytime, work hours. What’s the company going to do when the General Manager and Vice General Manager are both playing games?” Fatty started to change the topic.
“What? Do think I’m in the way?” Liu Lan glared at Fatty. “Although the company was handed over to me, my father’s board of directors still has the actual power. I’m just learning how to manage it. What’s more, if I need to watch over everything, then what are the various elites in the company for?”
“It’s getting late. Where should we go to farm?” Fatty continued on his attempt on changing the topic.
“We’re going to help Snowy with her mission. We were about to finish it, but we followed when we heard that there was a gold boss, since we were afraid you won’t be able to take care of it. Who would have thought, not only a certain someone managed to kill the boss, it was for someone else as well! Wow, what a real man, so cool,” Liu Lan was clearly still annoyed.
How’s me helping someone with a boss monster any of your business!? Fatty thought to himself. However, he once again intelligently chose to stay silent and allowed Liu Lan to rant away.
Darksnow’s secondary profession was an alchemist. She was doing a mission that would allow her to allow her to become an apothecary, which was a subprofession of an alchemist. The mission was to pick up a strand of Snowsilver Grass on Ox- Horn Mountain to the north of Black Tortoise City. The mountain range had a lowered middle, with two tall peaks in the shape of ox-horns, which gave it its name. What’s more, there were also a group of powerful minotaurs living there.
The Snowsilver Grass was found deep in the mountain range guarded by some minotaurs.
“We wanted TheFugitive to stealth in to harvest it, but this idiot doesn’t have the skill Harvest!” Darksnow glared at TheFugitive and snorted.
“That’s not my fault,” TheFugitive felt troubled. “I went to ask quite a few NPCs, but still didn’t manage to learn the skill.”
“Who else is to blame? Your bad luck is your fault.”
TheFugitive rolled his eyes and went silent.
…
The two beauties walked in front in the night, while the two lecherous rogues followed behind them. Some interested players looked vigilantly at the two rogues, and some players even walked over to ask the two girls whether there was a need to chase away the two hoodlums behind them.
Two hoodlums…
Hoodlums…
Fatty and TheFugitive were nearly in tears, but had nobody to voice their objections to.
…
When they finally reached the foot of the mountain, Fatty pointed at the peak proudly, “Snowy, see how your Big Brother Fatty help you harvest the herb.”
“Hurry up, we’ll wait here for you,” Liu Lan smiled.
“Wow, why does that sound so familiar?” Darksnow watched Fatty walk into the mountains, then exclaimed. “OOOH! They say that there was once a family. When the husband ventured out, his wife stood at the entrance of their home and shouted emotionally, “Darling, come back quickly, your honey will be waiting for you here’.”
“Damn you. Do you want to get beaten up?” Liu Lan giggled with a blush.
…
As Fatty walked up the mountain in stealth, he saw a bunch of antelope monsters laze around near the road.
As usual, he used Appraisal.
Jumpy Antelope
Level: 20
Attack: 95 – 110
Defense: 80
HP: 1050
Notes: Jumpy antelopes are some strange antelopes. They prefer to jump around instead of walking. Their meat is very tasty and is one type of meat that the large restaurants will buy.
…
Wow, this place really isn’t a place that we can come to right now. Even the monsters at the foot of the mountain is Level 20. No wonder they spent so long and still couldn’t complete the mission.
As Fatty walked up the mountain along the road, the level of the monsters became higher and higher. There were even a few pheasants Fatty tried to appraise, but couldn’t see any stats of.
Damn, how are players supposed to do anything when even a bird is so high level? Fatty sighed silently.
When he reached halfway up the mountain, Fatty began to hesitate even more. There was a huge ape hanging off a tree in front of him.
The ape was more than twice the size of its nearby kin. It had steel-like fur with a straight tail that seemed like a well refined metal baton.
There was no doubt that the ape was a boss, and it definitely was at least around the level of the Phantom Blue Butterfly King Fatty killed not long ago.
Fatty always felt like there was something wrong with the Phantom Blue Butterfly King. It might have been due to the mission that the Phantom Blue Butterfly King did not actually show the strength befitting that of a gold boss. Instead, it seemed to be a lot weaker than other bosses of that level. Or, at the very least, it couldn’t compare up to the Phantom Messenger on Mass Graves’s fifth floor.
Fatty used Appraisal on the ape.
Bloodthirsty Monkey
Silver Boss
Level: ???
Attack: ???
Defense: ???
HP: ???
…
Yep, all question marks.
