Online Game: My Beast Can Evolve Infinitely Novel - Chapter 20

Chapter 20: Picking up Equipment Yet Unable to Keep Up?

The members of the Rose Union had only seen the boss once after several attempts. Then, they were killed by the Demon Knight with a few slashes. However, now, Hades had killed the boss with the time they took to pick up all the equipment.

Tycoon looked at Tina with pride and said, “See, this is our boss!” A deep admiration flashed in his eyes.

Tina and the other party members looked at each other with shock in their eyes. They had tried killing this boss themselves, and the difficulty was self-evident. They were now getting more and more confused about James Williams’ strength.

“The boss dropped a pair of middle-level gold boots. Does anyone want it?”

James Williams said in the party channel and attached a picture.

Tina quickly replied, “Middle-level gold boots? I want it!”

The remaining two party members also tacitly kept quiet.

“50,000 gold coins,” said James Williams.

“Hey, boss, is gold equipment very rare? Is it that expensive?” asked Tycoon in confusion.

The remaining two party members were a little disdainful.

“What do you know? Gold equipment can not be obtained through drops. It mostly depended on luck. Some bosses don’t even drop these things.”

“What? Gold equipment is that rare? Boss, I want it! I’ll give you 60,000 gold coins!” shouted Tycoon.

Tina glared at him. This level 15 warrior was useless but he was now bickering with her over a pair of middle-level gold boots.

In the early stages of the game, a pair of middle-level gold boots was sold for 60,000 gold coins, which was a sky-high price. Though on the other hand, the value it brought in the early stages of the game was definitely worth it. While other unions were still stuck with silver equipment, they had already started owning gold equipment.

After completing the mission of achieving the first kill, a global banner would be shared. Henceforth, the Rose Union’s popularity would definitely soar.

“Uh… How about this? Since one of you wants to buy it, you two can bid for the boots. I’ll sell it to whoever offers the higher price,” James Williams said helplessly.

Although he looked helpless on the surface, he was extremely happy in his heart. The two of them competing over the price was a gain for James Williams no matter how he looked at it. Moreover, the price would only get higher and higher.

“I’ll bid 70,000!” Tina gritted her teeth. ‘At most, I’ll buy two fewer bags,’ she thought.

“100,000,” Tycoon said calmly.

Although he was not good at playing the game, this equipment was too tempting in the early stages of the game. He already had gold armor, how could he not match it with the middle-level gold boots?

Looking at Tina who had lowered her head as she no longer had the intention to continue bidding, Tycoon became a little smug. He was determined to get this equipment.

James Williams suddenly remembered that he seemed to have a low-level gold bow and arrow with special attributes that was obtained when he completed the Mutated Black Caiman Crocodile mission.

[Ding! You have received 10,000 gold coins from a party member, Tycoon!]

A notification sounded in James Williams’ ear.

After he gave the equipment to Tycoon, he said in the party channel.

“I also have a low-level gold bow and arrow. Tina, you’re an archer. Do you want to buy it?”

When she heard that there was another piece of equipment that suited her, Tina was pleasantly surprised. “Really? I want it!”

“60,000!”

He sent over the attributes of the bow and arrow.

[Low-level gold bow and arrow: 40 points increase in attack power. Additional bleeding effect: 10 HP reduced per second for 5 seconds.]

Actually, this price was not considered expensive. In James Williams’ opinion, since she did not purchase the gold boots, this was considered as compensation for her. Anyway, this bow and arrow was useless in the hands of a wizard like him. When he changed classes in level 40, he would still be a wizard. He had to sell it anyway.

However, Tycoon was indeed loaded. He offered 100,000 gold coins just like that. James Williams thought about it, but he could not seem to remember such a rich person in his previous life. Could it be that his reincarnation had changed the timeline?

Whatever, since things had developed to such an extent, he should just continue with it.

After a while, the group entered the cave.

“Eh, why aren’t there any monster corpses?” Tina and the others looked at the clean ground and were a little confused. However, a ridiculous idea emerged.

She recalled that there were at least hundreds of skeleton warriors in this cave. Could it be that Hades had killed them all by himself?

While they were puzzled, they came to the cave of the boss and saw a shocking scene.

In the huge cave, there were a lot of skeleton warrior corpses lying on the ground. At a glance, there were at least a few hundred of them. In the middle of them was a pile of rotten bones. It seemed to be the corpse of the Demon Knight.

“This… Hades is really a pervert. Could it be that he dragged all the small monsters here and fought the boss all at once?” Tina looked at the corpses on the ground and confirmed her thoughts.

“Hahahaha, it’s just the boss being the boss! Tina, please show some respect to my boss. Is pervert the right term to describe the boss? This is called having superior strength! How can you use such a term to describe our Zero Union’s union president?” Tycoon said in the party channel.

Laura had an unconvinced look on her face. “Tch, what Zero? We don’t care about it. Once we’re done here, we will return to our Rose Union.”

“What are you talking about? My boss is so kind to bring your union along for the first clear. Are you planning to discard him once he’s of no use to you?” Tycoon retorted.

“I…” Laura continued arguing with Tycoon.

…

The few of them did not stop their “work”. After a few minutes, they finally finished picking up the equipment on the ground and were ready to set off to catch up with James Williams.

At this time, another notification appeared on the party’s public screen.

[Ding! Congratulations! Your party member, Hades, has successfully killed the Dark Swamp Boss, Demon Wizard!]

Tina and the other two party members were speechless. The way he killed monsters was too abnormal. They were merely picking up equipment, yet they could not keep up with his pace.

Would he really end up clearing the Dark Swamp dungeon alone?

From the looks of it, it was as if they were here for a stroll. They had not done anything.

[Tycoon: Boss is so cool! So cool!!]

Tina looked at the message on the public screen from Tycoon. She really could not understand why such a rich person like him would follow Hades and flatter him like this.

In the deepest part of the cave.

James Williams stepped on a pile of bones that weakly emitted green light and walked forward. These were the bones of the boss, Demon Wizard.. This boss mainly relied on its skill to summon skeleton soldiers, but how could these things deal damage to him?
