Chapter 538: Equipment and Women (2/2)
Xu Yang answered, ”Do you even need to ask? Of course it’s Lu Chen. You don’t actually think it’s you, do you?”
High Fighting Spirits commented, ”But I heard that Eve, our guild leader, is the one Lu Chen likes. Do you think Wind Fantasy will try to snatch him away by force? The guild leader can’t beat Wind Fantasy, you know…”
Eighteen Steeds of You and Yun clenched his fists tightly. ”I won’t let Wind Fantasy do as she likes! I’ll protect the vice leader and leader’s position as the first wife with my life!”
Li Chengfeng shivered immediately. ”Lower your voices, you idiots! If Beauty Lin hears this she’ll slaughter all of you!”
……
Clang!
It was at this moment Lin Yixin pulled out the Frozen Sword and faced toward them emotionlessly. ”Too late. I’ve already heard everything!”
The boys shivered in fright. They were one push away from dropping to their knees and begging for their lives.
I hurriedly pulled out my own sword and grabbed the Frostscythe Warhorse’s reins. ”Yiyi, the boss just finished using its ultimate, so come on! This can wait until later, right?”
”Okay.” Lin Yixin nodded.
Li Chengfeng shook his head. ”Who is this, an obedient kitty? Sigh. Times have changed, and the once domineering Fruit Knife Goddess is no longer…”
Lin Yixin: ”...”
He Yi and Murong Mingyue had also finished their preparations, so He Yi ordered, ”It’s time for the final assault. Let us charge the Frost Dragon without fear and claim the Frost Dragon Scale for ourselves! We will have two dragon scales when this is all over!”
Everyone—even me—shouted our battle cries and Charged the boss like suicidal maniacs. To my surprise, my Thunderous Charge actually landed and stunned the boss for several seconds. When the duration was almost over, and I followed up with a God Binding Art, it landed again! Trapped by the four divine weapons, the Frost Dragon could do nothing except be gangbanged by us.
It wouldn’t be long before the boss died, and once again Bombshell was the most valuable stratagem of the boss fight. It was too bad that it was hardcapped at 80%, or it would be the most powerful Famous General Skill in the entire game for sure!
On paper, He Yi’s Royal Road was just as powerful, but the stat reduction part of the Famous General Skill was largely reduced against bosses. For example, He Yi had almost 200 Tactics, so theoretically speaking, Royal Road should reduce the boss's stats by 30% or so. In reality though, it only reduced the boss's stats by 10%. It was a bit weak to put it bluntly. That was why Bombshell was absolutely the better Famous General Skill in a boss fight. That being said, Royal Road was perfect for PvP.
……
The Frost Dragon screamed in pain as its health kept dropping. The scales on its body—especially those that were ravaged by Barrier Break—looked tattered and torn. It was brutal to say the least.
”The boss is about to die! Wash over me, loot! Hahaha~~” Li Chengfeng laughed happily. ”Ready to fight for the last hit on the boss, everyone? Three, two, one, go!”
But He Yi chided him, ”Control yourself, you undisciplined rascal!”
Li Chengfeng curled his lips. ”Is there something you want to say, leader?”
He Yi nodded. ”It’s rare to run into a high-rank, low-level boss like this, so we should let the person with the highest Luck land the last hit. We’ll get better loot this way, am I right? Sure, the one who lands the last hit gets 50% of the kill experience, but it’s not like you can’t grind the experience points from mobs eventually. Remember, the loot is the main reward when we fight a boss, not the experience!”
Li Chengfeng nodded in agreement. ”You’re right, I almost forgot about that. The leader is wise! Well, you heard the boss, Lu Chen. You have the highest Luck out of all of us, so go! We’re counting on you!”
I nodded. First, I kicked Gui Guzi in front of the boss. Then, I let Lin Yixin use Extreme Break before unleashing my super combo: Universe Break + Burning Blade Slash + basic attack + Universe Break + War Crush in 6 seconds’ time! A column of damage numbers floated above the boss's head, and a death scream later it collapsed to the ground like a small mountain. The next second, a ton of shiny loot popped out of the body...
……
Swhoosh!
I hit Level 132 immediately and took one big step toward the dream threshold that was Level 150. It just felt so good to level up!
I strode forward and picked up a cyan-colored dragon scale from the pile. It was of course the Frost Dragon Scale we needed to complete the quest. Now I was carrying two dragon scales on my person.
”Eve, please distribute the loot,” I asked.
