Speaking of treasures, it was necessary to mention the equipment ranking system in "Eternal Chivalry."

In "Eternal Chivalry," equipment was divided into six tiers: white, blue, gold, green, treasures, and divine weapons. The effects of the first few tiers were generally the same as in other online games. White was basic gear with the worst attributes, blue was fine gear, gold was top-quality gear, and green was set equipment.

Above those four, however, were treasures and divine weapons. Starting from the treasure tier, every piece of equipment had its own unique name and was one of a kind!

Take the Zhuge Divine Crossbow before them, for example. There was only one of it in the entire game, with no second one anywhere!

After listening to Youyou's explanation, Ye Weiming analyzed seriously, "Chen Ming is displayed as level 30, which means his actual level is only 15. When the game evaluates a boss's level, it usually calculates based on the boss's overall stats, making it easier for players to gauge the gap in strength between them."

"So the boss in front of us should be an unusual type with insanely high Attack Power but only level-15 standards in every other respect. The most frustrating part is that he's also a ranged class."

At this point, a bitter smile appeared at the corner of Ye Weiming's mouth. "Fortunately, there aren't any other mobs around him. Otherwise, with mobs holding the line in front while he attacked from range in the back, we wouldn't even need to consider how to fight this boss. But even so... a boss of this level is only rated as a four-star mission?"

"My sect mission is five-star difficulty." Youyou spoke somewhat sheepishly. "If I weren't in the party, Chen Ming here would only be level 15, and just as you said, he'd be surrounded by a whole pack of elite monsters and regular mobs protecting him at close range."

"But don't worry. I was already prepared to fight him one-on-one before I came. Master said that Chen Ming doesn't know how to use hidden weapons at all, so I should be able to handle him. Now that I have your help, it's even more secure!" As she spoke, Youyou raised her hand crossbow, her expression solemn. "Wait until I've secured his aggro, then look for a chance to rush in close. As long as we don't give him a chance to open the distance, we should be able to force him to stop using the Zhuge Divine Crossbow and switch to the saber he usually uses. It'll be much easier to fight him then."

"A level-30 ranged boss, and a high-attack one at that. Are you sure you can hold his aggro?"

"Don't worry, I'm a professional!" After tossing out that confident declaration, Youyou's expression became incomparably serious. Even the way she held her crossbow changed from before.

Her right hand gripped the hand crossbow tightly while her left supported her right wrist. With both arms bent, she raised the crossbow level with her head, pressed her back tightly against the wall, and slowly moved toward the underground palace hall one step at a time.

Looking at her posture, Ye Weiming felt an indescribable sense of familiarity. It seemed like he had seen it somewhere before?

As Youyou slowly approached the hall, Chen Ming remained completely unaware. Only when one of her feet stepped into the hall did the level-30 boss finally notice the girl. He fixed his gaze on her and shouted, "A disciple of the Tang Clan? Are you here to die?"

Youyou fully embodied her ruthless, few-words persona. The moment the boss discovered her, she suddenly dashed forward, closing the distance between them until Chen Ming was within the effective range of her hand crossbow. The instant her feet touched down, both arms straightened. Her right hand still held the crossbow and her left still supported her right wrist as she fired six shots at Chen Ming in rapid succession.

"Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!..."

...

All six bolts struck their target. Six red damage numbers immediately floated above Chen Ming's head, including two critical hits that took nearly 300 HP from him at once. Under the continuous barrage, Chen Ming remained briefly staggered the entire time, completely unable to retaliate.

If Youyou's crossbow could fire endlessly in rapid succession, she could naturally keep this boss locked down until he died. Unfortunately, her hand crossbow could only fire six bolts in a row before needing to be reloaded, a process that took a full three seconds!

After firing all six bolts, Youyou did not wait for Chen Ming to react. She abruptly rolled to the left, narrowly dodging the three crossbow bolts Chen Ming fired after recovering his mobility. She then sprang to her feet and used several simple, direct S-shaped maneuvers to evade another three bolts. Raising her hand crossbow again, she fired another six shots in succession, all of which hit.

Even more remarkably, after her earlier movements, she was now less than a meter away from one of the six stone pillars around the hall. After firing her last bolt, she took a single step and hid behind the pillar, calmly waiting out the next few seconds.

Having regained his mobility, Chen Ming fired seven bolts in succession at the pillar where Youyou was hiding. Under the immense destructive force of the Zhuge Divine Crossbow, fragments of stone flew everywhere as the sturdy pillar was blasted apart, yet Youyou remained completely unharmed.

She flashed out from behind the pillar and fired another six bolts in rapid succession. Perhaps noticing that the previous pillar had been badly damaged, Youyou rolled toward another stone pillar while reloading. After dodging Chen Ming's three bolts, she unexpectedly rolled back in the opposite direction, drawing a silent Nice! from the Ye Weiming following close behind.

However, that was when things suddenly changed.

As Youyou rolled back, one of the three crossbow bolts Chen Ming had fired seemed to anticipate her movement in advance. It struck the side of her lower abdomen directly in the middle of her nimble maneuver. Driven by the Zhuge Divine Crossbow's tremendous force, it pierced straight through her body, taking as much as 521 HP with it!

The girl, who had been at full HP moments ago, was instantly reduced to a sliver of health, nearly killed in one shot!

But even if she had not been instantly killed, the result was more or less the same. Even Youyou's ordinary hand crossbow could briefly stagger the boss when it hit. How much more powerful was the Zhuge Divine Crossbow in Chen Ming's hands?

That single arrow not only took more than ninety percent of Youyou's HP, but also knocked her straight off her feet with its force, sending her sprawling flat on her back.

Seeing this, Chen Ming burst out laughing. "Little brat, die!" As he spoke, he stepped forward and raised the divine crossbow again, aiming it at Youyou on the ground.

At that moment, a figure suddenly darted out from the side, grabbed Youyou's right leg as she lay on the ground, and dragged her behind the stone pillar to hide her.

There was no need to ask who it was. The one who had acted was Ye Weiming, who had just arrived.

Releasing Youyou's calf, Ye Weiming smiled rakishly and said with complete confidence, "You did well earlier. Leave the rest to me and... fuck!"

Originally, Ye Weiming had planned to hide behind the pillar and wait for his prey. Once the other party came around it, he would suddenly spring into action and force him to switch to a melee weapon. Yet after seeing Youyou get rescued, that bastard did not greedily press the attack at all. Instead, he retreated in an extremely cowardly fashion to the very center of the hall.
