Chapter 13: Boss, I Want It! Instant Defeat?
Since my mother passed away, my father brought home a so-called stepmother and an older brother from outside, and I have never been accepted by this family...
Clearly, the club was founded by my mother before she died!
Yet my own father
always valued that so-called...
eldest biological son raised elsewhere?
Then what am I?
What was my mother to him?
“Heh...”
“Maybe I was wrong from the start!”
“How can a home that never truly belonged to me be forced to fit?”
His gaze returned to the group chat.
[Heroic Spirit: Why so quiet? Scared already? Haha... You're just as cowardly as that woman!]
Seeing this message, I, Hou Xiaoyu, didn’t bother to reply. Expressionless, I left the group.
“Cowardly? I can’t do anything right?”
“If that’s the case, then I’ll surpass you in the field you’re best at and love the most!”
I fixed my eyes on the figure in the arena.
At this moment, my gaze was especially cold and resolute!
The first step to surpassing you...
starts with you!
With a shift of thought,
I vanished from where I stood instantly!
...
Meanwhile, in the arena.
“Grrr!”
The rock beast was utterly frustrated that its skill was dodged again and again by this damned human!
Damn it, I hit!
The attack did land!
You bullied me three minutes ago, saying I couldn’t use my rage skill, huh?
Just wait!
I’ll be ready in 28 seconds...
[-62876.]
Rock Beast: What the hell!
[Successfully triggered 100% finishing move talent, BOSS first kill title effect damage ×2!]
[Killed level 15 BOSS Rock Beast, gained +1750 experience.]
[Congratulations, you have leveled up to LV7.]
[Rock Beast drops...]
But suddenly!
Before Su Nian could check the BOSS’s loot,
a chill swept over his back!
Next moment...
[HP -50.]
[HP -48.]
An ambush?
Su Nian spun around swiftly, blue light flashing on his priest’s staff!
[Skill triggered: Frost Spell!]
[-88.]
As an ice spike struck the attacker, Su Nian made out their identity clearly!
[Player nickname: Hou Xiaoyu.]
[Level: LV4.]
[HP: 412/500.]
[MP: 100/200.]
Only level four?
Where did this foolhardiness come from?
“This... how is this possible!”
At the same time, Hou Xiaoyu stared in panic at the information hovering above the man before him.
He was level seven, sure.
But had over 1750 HP?
And...
If he remembered correctly,
the BOSS had been killed instantly just now!
What kind of fight is this?
“What’s so impossible about it?” Su Nian grinned. “But since you want to kill me, I won’t give you a chance to say your last words!”
No sooner had he spoken,
taking advantage of Hou Xiaoyu’s moment of control,
[-79.]
[-80.]
[Talent not triggered...]
Two basic attacks landed from Su Nian, and the former’s HP instantly dropped by half!
At that moment, Hou Xiaoyu regretted everything.
Anger surged uncontrollably.
He had hit a wall...
Even if he turned to flee, how could his speed compare to Su Nian’s, who wore battle boots that increased movement speed?
In less than five seconds,
Hou Xiaoyu didn’t even get a chance to escape the attack range.
He was struck down by four consecutive basic attacks from Su Nian...
[You have killed player: Hou Xiaoyu!]
[Player dropped: Experience ×200, Assassin’s Dagger (Green).]
“Hou Xiaoyu?” Su Nian looked at the worthless dagger in his hand, muttering the name repeatedly.
This ID... sounds familiar.
“Wait a minute!” Suddenly recalling something, he said in surprise, “Goodness, I just solo killed a future god-level assassin?”
Hou Xiaoyu looked quite familiar.
But who would have guessed this person could single-handedly rout a powerful foreign army someday?
In his previous life, Su Nian, with top-tier awareness, knew exactly how absurdly strong this god-level assassin would become.
But that was the future.
No matter how extraordinary you are in the future,
right now, in my hands, Su Nian, all I can say is: If you’re weak, just train more!
Shaking off the distracting thoughts,
Su Nian’s eyes returned to the BOSS loot list.
[Rock Beast drops: Gold ×100, Free Attribute Points ×10, C-level Skills ×2, Helmet (Blue), Battle Boots (Blue).]
“Two C-level skills?”
“This drop isn’t bad at all!”
Su Nian quickly clicked for details.
Upon seeing them...
Wow, one was a swordsman skill.
The other was...
[Healing Spell: Restores health to a designated target equal to 20% of caster’s max HP. (C-level)]
Su Nian decisively chose to learn it!
[Learning successful!]
[Skill: Healing Spell (C-level)]
[Level: LV1.]
[Mana cost: 120.]
[Cooldown: 35 seconds.]
“Not bad at all!”
Satisfied, Su Nian then looked at the two blue-grade items.
He already had a purple helmet, so no need.
The boots dropped were inferior to his own.
He gathered what he currently had to trade: two blue-grade items, two D-level skills, one C-level skill, and 350 gold coins.
“Listing on the auction house is too troublesome; I’d have to go all the way to the newbie village store. Better to... ask Boss Xingyu?”
With that thought, Su Nian displayed all the items he wanted to sell to his friend list contact, ‘Great Tolerance.’
He had just sent the message when an instant reply came back!
[Great Tolerance: Boss, what’s this (´･ω･`)?]
[Me: If you want these, I’ll sell them to you. Too lazy to bother with the marketplace.]
Meanwhile,
somewhere in the newbie village,
a white-haired little girl who had just completed a skill quest,
upon seeing the items displayed by the ‘Emperor’ boss and reading this message,
was stunned, eyes wide open, breathing rapid,
her chest heaving up and down along with her excitement!
“Isn’t this... a bit too much?”
How long has the server even been open?
And this boss is already selling blue gear and skills?
Two hours ago, she hired a dozen people to grind elite mobs and only got two green items.
She had only just learned one D-level skill herself.
Yet this boss casually offers two blue items and three skills, one of which is C-level, plus over three hundred gold coins?
Truly trash to the boss,
but treasures to us!
[Great Tolerance: Yes, yes, yes! Boss, I want them all! As long as you have enough stuff, I don’t mind filling up my inventory! (*ˊᗜˋ*)/ Thank you!]
