[West of Yunbian Town]
[Lv10 Flowing Silver Sanctuary]
By killing Flowing Silver Guards, Lin Mo quickly managed to collect 30 strands of Flowing Silver Souls.
That left only the final material: Silver Iron.
When he made the Flame Ring before, he had also collected Silver Iron.
So even without looking at the blueprint, Lin Mo knew that this stuff was obtained at the mine, by killing stone lions.
Thus, he took Su Yingxia straight to the Lv10 mine.
———
At the same time, in Yunbian Town.
A large number of players with the "Chaotic World" ID over their heads rapidly gathered, then hurried toward the same direction.
Ling Xiao, Skinny Monkey, and Fat Dahai had just finished restocking at the pharmacy when they happened to see this scene.
"People from Chaotic World… what are they doing? Making such a huge fuss," Fat Dahai scratched his head, looking confused.
Skinny Monkey complained, "It's definitely nothing good!"
At this moment, Ling Xiao said, "Let's follow them and take a look!"
Fat Dahai was puzzled, "Why are we following them?"
"I tell you to eat less all the time, but you only grow fat and not brains," Skinny Monkey slapped Fat Dahai on the head and said, "With such a big formation, they're either doing some super high-difficulty hidden quest, or they're going to kill a big boss."
"If we follow them, maybe we can snag something. That'd be a huge profit!"
Ling Xiao said solemnly, "Even if we can't snag anything, we absolutely can't let Wang Junjie succeed. We must sabotage him."
"Otherwise, I'll lose completely!"
"That makes sense," Fat Dahai suddenly understood.
"Let's go, follow them!"
———
Lin Mo gathered all three materials, Silverlight Gemstones, Flowing Silver Souls, and Silver Iron, 30 of each.
Returning to Yunbian Town, he immediately went to the blacksmith shop, found Master Blacksmith Li Li, and submitted 1 gold coin and 30 reputation points, along with the materials.
Following Lin Mo's request, Li Li began crafting the [Flowing Silver Crown].
Lin Mo, meanwhile, checked his own status.
His level was already 11, at 33%.
And within the newbie village, the highest level of monsters was only level 10.
At Lin Mo's current level, killing level 10 monsters would reduce combat gains by 10%.
And clearly, level 10 monsters could no longer meet Lin Mo's needs.
'After killing the boss, I'll head straight for the Tier 3 main city.'
The newbie village was ultimately just a small place. Aside from hidden quests and bosses, there were almost no other opportunities.
The Tier 3 main city was the stage where Lin Mo could truly show his skills.
While Li Li was crafting the equipment, Lin Mo discovered through mail that the D-rank skill book · Fireball he had consigned at the auction house, as well as the purple magic bow that dropped from Wang Junjie, along with several other blue items, had all been sold.
After deducting the 3-point handling fee.
Over ninety thousand more yuan had been deposited into Lin Mo's bank card.
As of now, the total balance in his bank account had reached 225,000 yuan.
Lin Mo "accidentally" and "unintentionally" let Su Yingxia beside him see the balance.
Then he casually asked, "So, what do you think?"
"It's quite a lot," Su Yingxia asked, "Did you earn all this over the year since you graduated?"
"No," Lin Mo said calmly, "Earned overnight, from last night until now."
There was indeed shock in Su Yingxia's eyes.
But it was far from what Lin Mo had expected.
'Something's not right.'
Lin Mo frowned slightly, thinking to himself, 'Didn't she leave me back then because she thought I had no money?'
'For someone so money-minded, seeing that I can earn this much money in one night, her reaction should be extreme shock, not this calm.'
'That can only mean one thing. To her, this amount of money is still not enough.'
'Heh, women!'
———
Time froze at five in the morning.
With a tired look on her face, Su Yingxia said, "Lin Mo, I'm a bit tired tonight… I want to log off and rest first. How about we continue tomorrow?"
"Wait," Lin Mo said, "I'll take you somewhere."
"And by the way, let you watch a good show."
"What kind of show?", Su Yingxia asked, confused.
Lin Mo instead asked, "You don't know?"
Su Yingxia looked puzzled, "I… should I know?"
Lin Mo smiled faintly, "It's fine."
"You'll know in a bit."
As they spoke.
The equipment was finished.
Lin Mo excitedly took the crystal-clear silver crown from Master Li's hands.
As expected, with Lin Mo's luck, it was white quality again.
But that was fine.
"I like white!"
As he said that.
Using the more than 2,000 equipment evolution points he had accumulated earlier by mass-burning newbie gear, Lin Mo evolved the [Flowing Silver Crown].
[Ding~ Consumed 20 evolution points. Congratulations, your level 10 tier-2 equipment Flowing Silver Crown has evolved from white to green!]
[Ding~ Consumed 40 evolution points. Congratulations, your level 10 tier-2 equipment Flowing Silver Crown has evolved from green to blue!]
[Ding~...]
[Ding~ Consumed 640 evolution points. Congratulations, your level 10 tier-2 equipment Flowing Silver Crown has evolved from red to gold (highest tier)!]
Whoosh!
The moment Su Yingxia saw the crown in Lin Mo's hand, which had been emitting an inconspicuous white glow, suddenly burst forth with dazzling golden light, her eyes instantly filled with shock.
'He can… actually upgrade white equipment into gold equipment?'
Lin Mo looked at the crown in his hand—
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
[Radiant Flow · Crown of the King] (Lv10)
— Quality: Tier 2 · Gold
— Defense: +255
— Additional attributes: Stamina +70, Stamina +70
— Special effect: Radiant Guard (Every 10 seconds, the wearer automatically condenses a Radiant Shield that can block one instance of any skill. Radiant Shields cannot stack.)
[Description: When you wear it, you are destined to become the undisputed strongest king of the Divine Oracle world.]
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
'Double stamina bonuses… truly top-tier defensive gear!'
'This Radiant Shield, in theory, could even block an SSS-rank skill, right?'
'Absolutely insane!'
Lin Mo was instantly overjoyed.
Without another word, he immediately put the crown on.
Watching his physical defense stat instantly jump from 65 to an astonishing 474.
And his magic defense surge from 63 to 458.
At the current stage, when over 90% of players on the entire server didn't even have three-digit attack power yet.
Lin Mo's defense could only be described as heaven-defying.
'With this defense, it should be enough to deal with the Spider Queen, right?'
Weighing his stats, Lin Mo nodded in satisfaction.
'It's time to go claim the boss!'
Thinking this, Lin Mo went to the pharmacy and spent 4 silver coins to buy a bundle of level 3 health potions (restores 250 HP on use, and recovers 25 HP per second for 10 seconds).
Then he took Su Yingxia with him and headed toward the [Shadow Nest].
———
At the same time.
North of Yunbian Town, in the wilderness.
Dark clouds covered the moonlight.
In the darkness stood a cave that constantly emitted a chilling aura, deep and pitch-black like the gaping maw of an abyss.
At this moment, a large group of players had arrived outside the cave entrance.
They gazed at the cave ahead from afar, all feeling an involuntary chill down their spines.
"This place looks really damn creepy."
"Is the only ultimate boss of our newbie village No.116, Yunbian Town, really hidden in here?"
"Holy shit! There isn't some man-eating female ghost hiding inside, is there?"
"If it's a pretty female ghost, that might still be okay. I'm afraid it'll be old and ugly!"
"You even dare to mess with ghosts, and you still care whether she's ugly? Turn off the lights, isn't it all the same?"
Just as the Chaotic World Guild players were whispering among themselves.
Wang Junjie, at the front of the crowd, shouted excitedly, "Brothers, success or failure all comes down to this!"
"As long as you help me take down this boss, I'll give every brother a bonus of one hundred thousand!"
As soon as these words came out, the more than five hundred Chaotic World players present were boiling with excitement!
"Brothers, charge!"
"All of you move aside! Let me do it!"
"One hundred thousand bonus! I'm coming!"
At this very moment, let alone female ghosts.
Even if what was hidden in that cave tonight was a thousand-year-old female corpse, she'd better clench her butt tight.
Amid a wave of overwhelming shouts, the Chaotic World Guild army surged toward the Shadow Nest.
At the same time, within the darkness ahead.
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
Countless pairs of eyes emitting eerie green light suddenly opened.
