Elsewhere.
The battle was over in just one minute, which came as quite a surprise to Chu Feng. He reassessed his little sister’s team once again.
They were strong.
Even without him, their team could deal with a minor boss quickly.
That was right—a boss like this was only a minor boss. It was not particularly powerful on a Level 40 map.
Bosses were divided into different tiers.
This could also be seen from the loot. The Son of the Frozen Snowfield had dropped three Dark Gold–grade pieces of equipment, twenty Gold-grade pieces, and a large number of materials, but not a single Diamond-grade item.
On a Level 40 map, only bosses of the Divine Blood Descendant variety could drop Diamond-grade equipment.
However, they were still not as difficult as the Origin-grade Goblin.
“Hey! Plant Girl, there’s a seed here! A Frost Crystal Snow Lotus seed!”
Someone alerted Chu Fu.
As the leader of the team, the stronger Chu Fu was, the stronger everyone’s combat power became.
Moreover, Chu Fu hardly consumed any of the team’s resources, and she rarely needed equipment. Everyone felt somewhat guilty about that, so whenever something that could improve Chu Fu’s strength dropped, they were even happier than she was.
“Let me see! Let me see!”
Chu Fu’s gaze fell on the Frost Crystal Snow Lotus.
[Frost Crystal Snow Lotus (Dark Gold–grade Seed): Can be planted to grow a Frost Crystal Snow Lotus, which can be used as an alchemy material.
Can mutate:
Mutated Frost Crystal Snow Lotus—Trait 1: Sprays out a freezing mist that inflicts severe frostbite on enemies.
Trait 2: Condenses an ice sphere to attack enemies, dealing frost damage as well as physical impact damage.]
“This is great. I’m taking this Dark Gold–grade material!”
Chu Fu immediately paid 100 gold coins. Naturally, no one bid against her, and the Frost Crystal Snow Lotus fell into her hands.
“Manager Feng, please handle the equipment auction. I’m going to speed up the seed’s growth.”
Feng Huimin took over the auction and began selling off the dropped equipment.
Without a doubt, Level 45 Dark Gold–grade equipment had much better stats than Level 20 Dark Gold–grade equipment.
Level 20 Dark Gold equipment had around 130 attack or defense, with approximately 80 points of attribute enhancement.
Level 45 Dark Gold equipment, on the other hand, had around 280 attack or defense, with approximately 130 points of attribute enhancement.
Moreover, even Level 45 Gold-grade equipment had around 240 attack or defense, with roughly 100 points of attribute enhancement.
As a result, the three Dark Gold and twenty Gold pieces of equipment that had dropped were extremely popular.
[Frost Barrier (Dark Gold–grade): Physical Defense 200, Magic Defense 300, Constitution +80, Strength +20, Spirit +30, Ice-Element Resistance +200.
Trait: Freeze—When used, has a certain chance to freeze an enemy for 0.5 seconds.]
What a great item!
At the same time, Feng Huimin began the auction.
“Shield-type weapon. Its current market value is around 800 gold coins. Considering its higher level, we’ll raise the price slightly. The starting bid is 1,000 gold coins. Shield Warriors and players with higher contribution ratings will have purchase priority. The second-highest bidder must offer 20% more than the first bid.”
Feng Huimin had adopted the rules established by Chu Fu. Of course, as equipment prices continued to rise, the second bidder no longer had to offer double the first bid, but only 20% more.
Jiaojiao Bu Jiao immediately shouted, “2,000 gold coins!”
If Lu An wanted to win the bid, he would have to offer 2,400 gold coins.
“Pass!”
Lu An did not dare compete at all.
How could he possibly fight the Queen Jiaojiao for it?
Apart from the equipment guaranteed to drop from the Origin-grade dungeon this time, which had allowed him to obtain a Goblin-made Beast Bone Shield for free, all his previous equipment had been replaced gear that Jiaojiao Bu Jiao had discarded.
And Jiaojiao Bu Jiao’s equipment was all top-quality. Yet when she sold it to him, she charged only half price—and sometimes simply gave it to him.
Back when he was in the Universal Guild, he had been cultivated as the main MT and was allowed to use Gold equipment for free.
But that equipment technically did not belong to him.
Unless he had an especially pressing need for it, Wan Huanyu would reward it to his lackeys instead.
Things were different in the Thorn Guild. Not only was the pressure of serving as the secondary tank much lower, but his teammates had also gone from a group of amateurs to a team of super experts.
He could just coast along and still receive a share of the profits.
He could even earn attribute points.
He could improve his talents, too!
Sometimes, he could even lead teams and earn gold coins.
As expected, life really was different depending on who you spent it with.
While Lu An was sighing inwardly, Feng Huimin had already begun auctioning the next item.
[Frost Mage Robe (Dark Gold–grade): Physical Defense 100, Magic Defense 200, Constitution +20, Agility +20, Spirit +80, Ice Attack +200.
Trait: Freezing Aura—When a melee enemy attacks the wearer, the Freezing Aura is instantly activated, freezing the enemy in place.]
“What a great piece of equipment. It’s essential for an Ice Mage, and it even provides a special attack bonus. The trait is extremely useful. Although our team doesn’t have an Ice Mage, someone can bid for it and wear it until a replacement becomes available!
“The starting bid is 500 gold coins. Among the magic classes, who has the highest contribution rating? Who Wants to Be a Vegetable, would you like to bid?”
“No bid,” Chu Fu said.
“Then everyone else may bid!”
Holy Healing Angel was the first to shout, “I Don’t Want to Be a Caveman! I want to wear a pretty dress too. 500 gold coins!”
“That makes perfect sense. 600 gold coins!” Suture Saint also joined the bidding.
Zhimengzhe and Shafu Liangu followed suit.
In the end, however, Holy Healing Angel was the most determined and won the equipment for 1,200 gold coins. It was actually a worthwhile purchase, considering that this was Level 45 Dark Gold equipment.
Finally, a pair of Frost Crystal Shoes was also sold at a high price of 800 gold coins.
Holy Healing Angel was nearly bankrupt.
But they really were beautiful.
What was more, the stats of the Gold equipment were also better than those of the Level 20 Dark Gold equipment they currently possessed. Everyone eagerly placed bids and replaced their gear. Not a single item was left unsold.
After everything had been auctioned off, they had earned more than 4,352 gold coins.
Because Chu Feng had accounted for 73% of the damage dealt, he received 3,176 gold coins and 960 silver coins.
And that was not all. Once the equipment auction had ended, the next boss spawned.
Normally, by the time Chu Feng reached the first location, killed the boss, and hurried to the next one, players from other shelters would have already rushed out to protect their shelter.
That created one problem.
Competition over the boss.
Chu Feng did not care whether the other side had started fighting the boss first. If he could steal the kill, he would. Having the stronger strength was all that mattered.
He might show some consideration to players from his own country.
But he would not let the overseas players off.
Now, however, there was no need to worry about that.
Everyone climbed into their mechs, tore open the void, and headed for the next boss’s location.
No one could arrive faster than them.
Even the strongest monsters were dealt with in three to five minutes.
The weaker ones took only a minute.
One after another, all ten bosses were defeated.
Chu Feng had an incredibly satisfying time fighting them!
The only problem was that the name appearing in the system announcements was always “Who Wants to Be a Vegetable!”
Although Chu Fu was quite famous in Linjiang City, she was practically unknown among top-tier players. At the very least, her name could not be found anywhere on the Level Rankings.
The only thing that had left a deep impression was the fact that she had completed an Origin-grade dungeon and even triggered a worldwide announcement.
“Who is this Plantman? She even managed to beat Lu Xing? At last, someone has come to put him in his place,” someone thought gleefully.
