"Holy crap!"
"A D-rank magic scroll?"
"A C-rank skill book?"
Lin Mo was instantly overjoyed.
He knew that newbie village BOSSES were valuable, but he never imagined they would be this valuable.
The first thing Lin Mo looked at was that magic scroll—
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
[Death Bug Explosion] (D-rank magic scroll):
Effect: Each use summons one explosive spider. The explosive spider inherits 20% of the summoner's total attributes, and explodes upon contacting an enemy, dealing true damage equal to its own maximum HP to a single target...
Remaining uses: 50/50 (once all uses are consumed, this magic scroll will permanently disappear)
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
"This is good stuff."
"When I run into those tanky meat shields I can't beat, just summon an explosive spider and blow them up with true damage that ignores defense."
You could imagine, if Wang Junjie had a magic scroll like this in his hands, he wouldn't have ended up getting beaten senseless every single time he ran into Lin Mo.
As for the C-rank skill book [Art of Severe Poison], it was a wizard class skill.
It applies a severe poison buff to a single enemy, continuously dealing a small amount of damage and greatly reducing their hit rate.
The damage wasn't high, since the wizard class mainly follows a control-oriented playstyle.
For wizards, the core of this skill lies in reducing hit rate.
"This skill could sell for at least a few hundred thousand in the early stage, right?"
"As for the magic scroll, although it's pretty good… forget it, it's not for me either, let's sell it. This should also fetch one or two hundred thousand."
Before Divine Oracle devoured the real world three months later, Lin Mo's core principle was to make money, save money, recharge, and get the fifty-million cumulative recharge reward.
So for good stuff like this that could sell for a lot of money, Lin Mo really had zero resistance.
Happily, he put both the magic scroll and the skill book into his backpack.
Next, Lin Mo's gaze fell on the two pieces of equipment.
In the newbie village, players could directly craft equipment up to tier 2 through the blacksmith.
But at most, they could only craft tier 2 equipment at level 10, and the quality would most likely be white or green, or if extremely lucky, blue.
Even just one such piece of equipment required a cost as high as 1 gold coin, 30 reputation, and three rare materials that took a huge amount of time and effort to gather, far beyond what ordinary people could afford.
What's more, what the Spider Queen dropped were level 15, tier 2, orange-quality equipment.
Lin Mo was already level 13, steadily moving toward level 15.
And according to his plan, once he reached the level 3 main city later on, he would have other even more important tasks to deal with, leaving him no time to slowly gather materials to craft equipment.
These two pieces of equipment suitable for an archer would save Lin Mo a lot of time.
"Just like the Hero's Golden Bow, once I hit level 15 I'll use them as temporary gear. When I no longer need them and replace them later, I can still sell them."
So Lin Mo happily put these two pieces of equipment into his backpack as well.
Although, just as Lin Mo had expected before, the total value of all these items was still far, far less than the money Wang Junjie had poured in to kill the boss.
But the key point was that every single one of these items, at the current stage, was something Wang Junjie couldn't buy even if he spent one hundred million.
Thinking about how Wang Junjie spent all that money only to end up working for him for free, Lin Mo couldn't help but want to laugh.
"Wang Junjie must be furious, right?"
"Too bad it was so rushed this time, I forgot to invite you to eat shit. I'll invite you next time."
That said, this time it really was thanks to Wang Junjie.
Otherwise, relying on Lin Mo alone, he probably really couldn't have done anything to the Spider Queen.
Finally, Lin Mo's gaze landed on that object emitting a black obsidian-like sheen, looking like a smooth pebble:
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
[Heart of Shadow] (special item)
— Description: It is said that in the ancient times of the world of Divine Oracle, the Human War God · Noah, in order to save the human race, single-handedly seized the Beast Clan's treasury, the Shadow Holy Hall, but after stepping into the Shadow Holy Hall, he never came out again; the Beast Clan shaman · Yedalu cast a spell to close the Shadow Gate and handed the only key capable of restarting the Shadow Gate, the Heart of Shadow, to powerful Beast Clan warriors of all paths to guard.
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
Lin Mo felt a surge of joy in his heart.
"That's right! The hidden dungeon over at the level 3 main city is called the Shadow Holy Hall."
"However, one Heart of Shadow isn't enough. To open the Shadow Gate and activate the dungeon, you need three."
But now that he had one in his hand,
the remaining two, Lin Mo was confident that after reaching the level 3 main city, he could obtain them from other players who had defeated newbie village BOSSES and gotten Hearts of Shadow.
"This hidden dungeon, I must take it."
Last was the system reward title.
He didn't expect that this title would surpass the quality of the three he obtained before.
"It's actually a green-quality title?"
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
[King of the Hunt] (Title)
— Quality: Green
— Title Attribute: Damage to monsters +3%
— Description: A symbol of a powerhouse who killed a BOSS in Yunbian Town, Newbie Village No. 116 of the Dragon Nation server.
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
"Not bad, not bad! That's basically a 3% increase in monster-killing efficiency."
"Accumulated over time, this is the key for me to steadily widen the gap between myself and other players."
While feeling pleased, Lin Mo suddenly had a wild idea, "I wonder if when Soul Flame advances again later, will it unlock title incineration?"
"If titles can also be incinerated and then evolve… that would be way too interesting."
Thinking this way, he had more or less finished dealing with the boss drops.
At this moment, Qin Feng suddenly ran over toward Lin Mo with a group of players from the Chasing Wind Guild.
Lin Mo frowned slightly.
'Trying to snatch the loot?'
Facts proved that Lin Mo had thought too badly of them.
Qin Feng ran up to Lin Mo and congratulated him with a grin, "Congratulations, Brother Mo, on getting the server-wide first kill of a newbie BOSS!"
Lin Mo looked suspicious, "You… why are you helping me?"
This seven-foot man awkwardly scratched the back of his head, his face flushed red, and said with a sheepish smile, "Well… that thing before was my fault. I shouldn't have coveted your girlfriend."
"Brother Mo, please be magnanimous and don't hold it against me, hehe! I, Qin Feng, promise I'll never have any designs on Su Yingxia again."
"Fair enough," Lin Mo waved his hand, indicating that the grudges between the two were written off.
Seeing this, Qin Feng was overjoyed, "Thanks for your understanding, Brother Mo!"
"We…", Qin Feng seemed to want to say something, but stopped himself.
Lin Mo saw through Qin Feng's little thoughts at a glance.
But he saw through them without saying them out loud, "Let's add each other as friends. It'll be easier to stay in touch later."
Qin Feng's eyes lit up instantly, "Sure!"
That was exactly what Qin Feng wanted, he just felt embarrassed to say it out loud.
After adding each other as friends, Qin Feng said cheerfully, "Then Brother Mo, if there's nothing else, I'll take my leave."
"Go ahead."
"Alrighty!"
Watching Qin Feng lead the Chasing Wind players away happily, Lin Mo smiled and shook his head.
"You kid, you've really broadened your path."
"But you really are much smarter than Wang Junjie."
Lin Mo was clear about grudges and favors.
No matter what had happened before, Qin Feng's performance this time, Lin Mo saw it clearly.
After sending Qin Feng off, Lin Mo's gaze fell on the other side, on Ling Xiao and Xia Wanwan, who were reluctant to part, looking like a pair of star-crossed lovers.
When their eyes met Lin Mo's, Ling Xiao and Xia Wanwan both nodded lightly at him.
Just as they were about to leave together with that group of Ning University players behind them,
Lin Mo suddenly called out to Ling Xiao, "Wait!"
Ling Xiao stopped, turned back to look at Lin Mo, and asked, "Is there… something else?"
"I'll take you to level 10."
Lin Mo's casual sentence made Ling Xiao's heart tremble violently.
Then Lin Mo added another sentence, "But it's paid."
"Two hundred thousand."
