Less Than Two Hundred Million

Qin Chuan had no idea that Rakshasa One-Slash was gathering his strength to come looking for trouble. He was still one-shotting Granite Giants.

However, as his level rose, the bonus experience he could gain became less and less, while the experience required to level up increased. His leveling speed inevitably slowed.

Even so, it was still several times, or even more than ten times, faster than that of ordinary players.

-6356! (Weakness Attack)

"Ding! You have killed a Level 10 Granite Giant and gained 150 experience points. Killing a monster 2 levels above you grants an additional 30 experience points."

"You have reached Level 8!"

"You have gained 5 Free Attribute Points!"

"Power of Shadow is gathering. You have additionally gained 5 Free Attribute Points!"

"Beast Blessing activated. You have additionally gained 5 Free Attribute Points!"

Qin Chuan put all his points into Agility, then glanced at his attributes.

[Attributes]: Strength 17, Constitution 12, Agility 140+5, Spirit 11

A smile appeared at the corner of Qin Chuan's lips.

With this much Agility, even the Wolf King, famed for its speed, would never escape his pursuit!

The reason Qin Chuan had not rushed off to kill the Wolf King and complete the quest was because that creature was notoriously fast.

Its attack speed was fast, and it was even faster when fleeing for its life.

Unlike ordinary bosses, the Wolf King did not have a particularly strong sense of territory. Once its health dropped low, it would flee like mad.

If a player's Agility was insufficient, they simply could not catch it.

But for Qin Chuan now, that was no problem at all.

"After I finish the Granite Lord, I'll go back and find the Wolf King."

Qin Chuan settled on the plan.

At this moment, after Qin Chuan's frenzied slaughter, the traces of the magic formation on the ground became increasingly obvious. Occasionally, tremors even came from underground.

This meant that the Granite Lord was awakening.

After calculating the number of Granite Giants he had killed, Qin Chuan concluded that the boss was not far from being fully activated. At most, it would take only a few minutes.

However, before Qin Chuan could continue, he received a message from Dragon Soaring World. "Night Roaming God, are you in the Granite Hills? Rakshasa One-Slash is heading there with people."

Qin Chuan was not surprised.

Rakshasa One-Slash was petty. Qin Chuan had one-shot him, so he would definitely come back to regain face.

As for how Rakshasa One-Slash knew Qin Chuan was in the Granite Hills, that was simple enough.

Rakshasa Hall could be considered a large guild, with many members. Even if they had been randomly assigned to different Newbie Villages, they could still gather around a hundred people.

As long as they put in the effort, they could always find Qin Chuan.

The easiest way was to look for monster corpses.

Ordinary players were all hacking at rabbits, while Elite Squads were fighting Wild Boars. Qin Chuan was the only one capable of leveling in other high-level areas.

That was not the important part.

What Qin Chuan wanted to know was what trump card Rakshasa One-Slash had.

Rakshasa One-Slash was narrow-minded, but that did not mean he was stupid.

On the contrary, he was quite scheming.

For him to make such a grand show of bringing people over, he had to have some confidence.

As Qin Chuan pondered, Dragon Soaring World sent another message. "One of my guys reported that Rakshasa One-Slash found a scroll. No idea what it does."

A scroll?

Qin Chuan suddenly understood. So it was that thing.

That made sense.

With that item in hand, ordinary assassins truly would have nowhere to hide.

Qin Chuan replied, "If I'm not mistaken, Rakshasa One-Slash also made some threats in the Newbie Village and called a bunch of players over to witness him killing me in return, right?"

Dragon Soaring World was dumbfounded.

Night Roaming God even knew that? Had he dealt with Rakshasa One-Slash before?

But if they had fought before, there was no reason for Rakshasa One-Slash to challenge Night Roaming God head-on again.

Rakshasa One-Slash was somewhat reckless, but he was definitely not stupid.

After thinking it over, Dragon Soaring World sent a message. "Do you want me to bring people over to help? Just say the word, Night Roaming God, and the Dragon Soaring Dynasty will stand with you."

Qin Chuan replied, "No need to make such a big fuss. Let your people keep leveling."

After pondering for a moment, Qin Chuan sent another message. "You can gather some funds. I may have equipment to sell you later, and this time I want Yan Country Currency."

Once the Granite Lord was activated, even if it was not a huge drop, it would at least yield several pieces of loot. Qin Chuan could not possibly use them all.

If he wanted to exchange Silver Tier equipment for gold coins, even emptying out the entire Newbie Village would not be enough.

Qin Chuan planned to use some Yan Country Currency to improve his living conditions.

The rented place he lived in was not much of an environment. It was time to move somewhere else.

Dragon Soaring World froze for a moment, then immediately understood and asked excitedly, "Did you trigger a boss?"

Qin Chuan replied, "Soon. If you have nothing to do, you can come to the Granite Hills too. Just don't get too close."

Dragon Soaring World immediately replied, "I'm on my way."

After saying that, he shouted in the party chat, "Quick, stop fighting the Wild Boars. Let's go watch the show."

His teammates were all old acquaintances, and they immediately understood what Dragon Soaring World meant.

The assassin said, "Is Night Roaming God about to go head-to-head with Rakshasa Hall?"

The Archer calmly analyzed, "Boss must have told Night Roaming God about Rakshasa One-Slash's movements, yet he still wants us to go watch? Night Roaming God must be very confident. Looks like he has gotten stronger again."

Dragon Soaring World said, "Of course. Just in this short while... damn, how is he already Level 8?"

The entire party looked at one another.

They vaguely remembered that not long ago, Dragon Soaring World had still been marveling at the fact that Night Roaming God had reached Level 7 and was leveling incredibly fast.

How long had it been? He had leveled up again already.

Wasn't Apocalypse supposed to become harder and harder to level in as time went on? Why could they not see it at all?

Ridiculous.

Before setting off, Dragon Soaring World asked Light Snow, the Divine Flame Priest, "How much cash do we still have in the accounts?"

Without hesitation, Light Snow replied, "Less than two hundred million. Why?"

Dragon Soaring World waved his hand. "Nothing. Night Roaming God just said he might have equipment to sell me, and he wants cash."

Light Snow considered it, then said, "The Granite Hills are full of elite monsters. If there's a boss there, it will be Bronze Tier at the very least. Due to limited output, players do not have much in-game currency at this stage. That means Bronze Tier equipment cannot sell for many gold coins right now, so exchanging it for Yan Country Currency is indeed more worthwhile. Night Roaming God is quite good at doing the math."

Dragon Soaring World shook his head. "The boss there is very likely above Bronze Tier. Bronze Tier equipment is valuable, but it can always fetch a good price. At worst, we wait a day or two. Only Silver Tier equipment is different—the current output of in-game currency simply cannot afford it."

Hiss...

The assassin and Archer sucked in cold breaths.

A Silver Tier boss?

A Black Iron tier Giant Wild Rabbit had already beaten players until they cried for their parents. How fierce would a Silver Tier one be?

It would probably take out a whole pile of players with one punch.

The assassin seemed to think of something and said, "Do you think Night Roaming God deliberately waited for Rakshasa One-Slash in the Granite Hills because he wants to use the boss to send them off?"

Dragon Soaring World nodded. "Very likely. Night Roaming God's damage is high, but his attack interval is not short. Trying to kill everyone from Rakshasa Hall himself would be too much trouble."

At that, Light Snow cut in, "Boss, we can have our brothers in the other Newbie Villages keep an eye out for universal long-range area-of-effect skill books. Night Roaming God will definitely need them."

Dragon Soaring World's eyes lit up, and he praised her repeatedly. "As expected of my chief strategist. You really think things through. Light Snow, handle this. As long as a suitable skill book appears, get it for me no matter the price."
