A Great Harvest

Ding! Kyushu Server Announcement: Congratulations to player Halfway Through the Mortal World for defeating the level 15 Lord-class BOSS. The monster attack difficulty for Novice Village No. 96508 has been reduced by 1, reputation increased by 1000, and a level 15 purple-grade accessory has been awarded...

A system prompt echoed throughout the entire Kyushu server region, shocking all players at that very moment.

One by one, they stared at the sky, dumbfounded.

"Looking at the sky, is this even human? That's a level fifteen Lord-class BOSS, a powerful being residing in the forbidden zones of every Novice Village, and it was actually killed just like that? We've only been online for a few days? Less than three days!"

"Holy cow, this skill, how come I feel it's even more impressive than the Four Emperors? Didn't the Flame Emperor just kill a level 7 Lord-class BOSS this afternoon and get a server-wide announcement? This kid killed a level 15 BOSS in the blink of an eye."

"More impressive than the Four Emperors, you're dreaming! With your foolish appearance, you dare to compare others to the Four Emperors. Do you even know who the Four Emperors are? They are people standing at the pinnacle of the pyramid. I think this person called Halfway Through the Mortal World just got lucky, most likely using some underhanded means to kill it."

"Hmph! A bunch of people who can't get the grapes and say they're sour. But look how lucky the people in Novice Village No. 96508 are, the difficulty of the monster attack has directly decreased by 1. Envy, ah!"

In Novice Village No. 010, the Flame Emperor had just returned with his brothers. Staring at the two people in front of him, his expression was rather displeased.

These two players were none other than Liu Cai'er and Dong Lang!

"Didn't I tell you not to act rashly and to wait for my return before handling things?"

The Flame Emperor frowned, looking down at the two, his presence exuding authority without anger.

He was in the prime of his thirties, exuding an emperor's dominance. A mere glance from his eyes made Liu Cai'er and Dong Lang lower their heads, afraid to speak.

Lu Qingsha, standing beside them, observed this scene with a touch of confusion on her stubborn face.

"Big Brother, he's just a lucky person, why do you have to scold our own people for an outsider? Although Cai'er and Brother Dong Lang's actions were mistakes, they were also for the good of the Flame Dragon Guild. Moreover, they consulted me beforehand and I approved their plan. If you want to blame someone, blame me too!" Lu Qingsha stepped forward, shielding the two.

"You want to take the blame for this?"

The Flame Emperor turned his head, his sinister eyes glaring at Lu Qingsha.

Caught in the Flame Emperor's gaze, Lu Qingsha's expression instantly turned incredibly wronged.

However, she also knew that her big brother was genuinely angry this time!

In the past, no matter what happened, even if she acted on her own and offended other guilds of the Four Emperors, or even initiated guild wars, her older brother would only say a few light words and let it pass, never blaming her in the slightest.

But this time, for a Guild Founding Token, for a lucky person whose depth was unknown, her big brother actually yelled at her?

"I... I..."

Lu Qingsha stammered, unable to utter a word after a long while.

Seeing this, the Flame Emperor sighed helplessly.

It was at this moment that the news of Xiao Wen killing the level 15 Lord-class BOSS arrived again, echoing in the sky.

"It seems you still don't know where you went wrong. Fine, let's leave this matter as it is. Don't pursue it further, otherwise, you won't be the Guild Leader of the Flame Dragon Guild anymore. You may leave."

The Flame Emperor, who had intended to say more, stopped when he heard the system prompt. He raised his hand, signaling Dong Lang and Liu Cai'er to leave.

Hearing that the Flame Emperor would no longer pursue the matter, the two breathed a sigh of relief, nodded in agreement, and quietly retreated.

After the two left, Lu Qingsha's eyes welled up with tears, and she looked at her big brother, full of grievance.

"Alright, you can go down too. I know what you want to ask, but I'm not sure about this matter myself right now, so I can't give you an accurate answer. Everything will have to wait until I make a trip to Novice Village No. 96508."

With that, the Flame Emperor turned and walked out of the Novice Village, leaving a solitary figure for Lu Qingsha.

"Big Brother... going to Novice Village No. 96508? Is he going to find Halfway Through the Mortal World? Does Big Brother want to personally obtain this Guild Founding Token from his hands?"

Outside another Novice Village, vast stretches of ice and snow were blowing. In the forbidden zone of the Extreme Ice Cave, a thin figure, holding a long sword, swung sword after sword at the surrounding level 15 monsters. Each strike triggered a critical hit or armor penetration effect, dealing high damage.

This person was none other than the Wind Emperor - Feng Luoqing.

Just as he was getting into the rhythm of killing monsters, a message prompt reached his ears.

The Wind Emperor's body stiffened, and the speed of his sword swings increased by fifty percent out of nowhere, like a harvester reaping the lives of these monsters.

When the last monster fell, its level was a clear 10.

"With a level 7 BOSS ahead and the monster attack coming from behind, you've now directly killed a level 15 Lord-class BOSS. Is the gap between us really that big? Perhaps, it's time we met. Regardless of whether you are him or not."

The Wind Emperor sheathed his sword and walked out of the Extreme Ice Cave.

In the Nightmare Forest, when Xiao Wen killed the Earth Python Lord, the massive experience points directly filled his experience bar, causing his level to jump from 10 to 11. His experience bar was even more than 50% full.

"Leveled up again? Reaching level 15 in a month? It won't even take that long, I think another week or so will be enough."

Xiao Wen smacked his lips, uttering words that would drive ordinary players crazy.

Is leveling up that easy?

Damn easy!

Why didn't you say anything when over a dozen of us were fighting over one monster?

Now you're just spouting nonsense here?

Next, he allocated his attribute points to Strength, and then Xiao Wen's gaze fell upon the corpse of the Earth Python Lord.

A touch of noble purple light appeared in his eyes, making them look considerably more dazzling.

"Purple gear?"

Xiao Wen raised his hand and grabbed the purple gear. It was a golden helmet.

"A helmet?"

[Ice Crystal Armor]

Required Level: 15

Grade: Purple

Defense: 80-85

Ice Resistance: 10

Ice Affinity: 7

Description: Crafted from profound ice crystals, this armor possesses powerful Ice Element Control.

"It's decent purple gear, but the special attributes are still too poor. Although the defense is quite good, it's still far too inferior compared to the Flowing Cloud Shoes. It doesn't even have a special attribute, and the defense is just passable. I'll keep it for now; if it really doesn't work out, I'll sell it."

Xiao Wen rolled his eyes in disdain and continued to sort through the other items.

When his gaze fell upon a dark green gallbladder, his pupils contracted, and his face lit up with joy.

[Earth Python Lord's Gallbladder]?
