Chapter 87: Don’t Regret It!
After the fun ended, the group headed towards Shattered Rock Ridge, discussing the exotic scenery.
A randomly appearing treant was instantly killed by Starry with a single sword strike.
The initial shock of the crowd gradually turned into numbness.
Upon entering Shattered Rock Ridge, the surrounding environment had drastically changed.
They had barely fought here yesterday before dispersing, but today they might be able to obtain the Calm Stone.
At that moment, Cute Orange also logged in.
Let’s go pick her up; a high-level alchemist is always in demand, although she herself is not aware of it.
…
Cute Orange stood nervously in the forest. “Why isn’t she here yet… What if a treant spawns nearby? The fear of being crushed by the Treant King last time is still on my mind.”
Suddenly, there was a rustling in the grass ahead, and out jumped a Gray Wolf!?
Cute Orange wondered if she was seeing things; wasn’t this Maple Blossom Grove?
Rubbing her eyes, nope, it was not a mistake!
And it was getting closer!
She was so frightened she stood still; running would definitely not outrun a wolf, would she die again…
The Gray Wolf moved faster, its sharp claws reflecting a chilling glow in the sunlight.
“Don’t come over!” Cute Orange screamed and closed her eyes.
“Dumb Orange, why are you screaming like a ghost?!”
Opening her eyes, she saw Zane with a face full of black lines.
…
After realizing the Gray Wolf was Zane transformed, Cute Orange boldly rode on the wolf’s back.
“Giddy up!” She smacked Zane’s wolf head hard.
“Damn! If you hit me again, I’ll bite you to death!” Although he couldn’t speak human language, he could send messages.
“Greedy…”
“…”
10 minutes later.
Zane appeared with a level 15 experience baby, and the others expressed their understanding… just kidding!
Looks like there’s a new romantic interest, right?
However, when Zane revealed her identity as a level 3 alchemist, everyone’s perception of her changed.
Even Nangong, who hangs around Maple Blossom Grove all day, was only close to becoming a level 3 alchemist.
This girl is not simple!
…
“Are we going to level up ourselves today? Damn, did the heroine elope with Brother Fengchen?” Endless Sea remarked, feeling frustrated; these two had no compatibility at all!
At that moment, White Milk Daddy spoke up, “The two you’re talking about shouldn’t be Fengchen Yanhua and Falling Star, right?”
“They are, what’s wrong?”
He didn’t answer, his brows furrowing deeply, obviously pondering something.
After a moment, an astonishing remark came out.
“Let’s disband.”
“What? Do you know what you’re saying?”
“Of course!” He gritted his teeth, “They are strong enough to protect themselves; getting involved with them will only bring down the wrath of Yuhua!”
“…” Youyoufen tugged at her skirt, clearly surprised.
“Don’t think that Mingxiao will protect us; you’re too naive! Every guild acts for profit; staying any longer will only get us blacklisted by Yuhua! At that point, everything we do will be restricted; this account will be basically useless!” White Milk Daddy yelled.
“And then?” Brother Shiu asked blandly.
“And then? I saw the final transaction price for yesterday’s Wolf Spider baby—it was 35k, right? You all cover the price difference and scatter!”
“Brother Hai, the captain kicked me out.” Brother Shiu’s voice remained calm.
“Ah? Fine.”
Then, under White Milk Daddy’s astonished expression,
System Notification: Player ‘White Milk Daddy’ has been forcibly removed from the party.
“Damn, don’t regret it!” His expression suddenly twisted as if the kindness he showed earlier was just an act.
“Let’s go.” Brother Shiu tightened his grip on the staff and walked ahead.
Endless Sea and Youyoufen quickly followed.
…
“Is this going too far?” Youyoufen hesitantly asked.
However, the reactions of the other two left her stunned.
“Meh, I’ve disliked that guy for a long time. If it weren’t for a lack of priests, I wouldn’t even bother with him.” Endless Sea said dismissively.
“Right, having someone like him in the party is just a ticking time bomb; it’s too unsafe. Although he hasn’t caused any trouble yet, we can’t be sure he won’t cause something later. The sooner we boot him, the better.” Brother Shiu also agreed.
“Speaking of which, you’re too sly! Why didn’t you let me experience the pleasure of kicking someone out?”
“…” Youyoufen was at a loss for words, “Will he retaliate against us?”
“Definitely, but he’s just a lone priest; what can he possibly do? Don’t worry!”
“Hmm…”
…
In the northern part of Grey Ridge Plain, all the Gray Wolves in the area have been wiped out by Yuhua’s people.
New players continued to pour in, and a stable leveling area needed to be ensured.
When there were no boss sightings, Yuhua Xuanlong would be grinding here, lying back to gain experience. Although his dark iron armor was more than sufficient for a main damage dealer, he was just too lazy to move, having spent so much money on the guild to ease his mind.
“Someone’s looking for me? Who is it?” Yuhua Xuanlong raised an eyebrow, feeling more invigorated.
“A lone player, said to provide information on Fengchen Yanhua and Falling Star.”
“Oh? Where are they?” He became interested.
…
As they continued forward, at least a hundred Quartzite monsters had fallen.
And at this point, a different kind of monster finally appeared.
Calm Rock:
Rarity: Silver Grade
Level: 24
Health: 5700
Attack: 121-134
Physical Defense: 75
Magical Defense: 95
Skills: Ground Slam, Stagnation, Body of Resistance
Description: By the Calm Rock, one can feel the tranquility within their heart.
Its attributes had improved slightly compared to Quartzite, and the stone projection had turned into stagnation.
The important thing is, this guy is called Calm Rock; it surely can drop Calm Stones!
This could mean a step towards becoming a level 4 alchemist!
Controlling Starry to advance, just as she was about to unleash Ice Moon Slash, she found her body could not move!?
From Zane’s perspective, a layer of faint yellow aura enveloped Starry; was this stagnation? It feels like a time-stop effect!
So free!
In an instant, the stagnation state dissipated, and Starry’s Ice Moon Slash plus Normal Attack annihilated the giant rock.
Too ruthless, if she hadn’t reacted in time, she would probably have been hit by its ground slam.
Normal players might even be finished in an instant.
Of course, against Starry, this move was completely ineffective.
Looking at the dropped items.
10 gold coins, not bad, seems like this rock monster knows how to gather wealth.
It dropped a few chunks of rock, and upon picking them up, she found 27 Calm Stones!
So powerful, a single drop of 27?
Considering the rarity of this rock monster… it might be reasonable to drop 27 at once; just not sure when the next one will appear.
If the output of the Calm Stone is only this much, the number of high-level alchemists in the future will surely be quite scarce.
Fortunately, she discovered it first, and no players have been seen around.
The last time she was here and fought with Specially Treating All Dissent, she hasn’t seen him since; perhaps he switched to another leveling spot.
This means that the Calm Stones here are all theirs!
