"Do you know each other?" Underwater Fish asked in surprise. Chinese? Novel?
"Yes …" Wang Yu nodded. However, after hearing Arzeus's tone, Wang Yu would rather not know him.
Hearing Wang Yu's words, Underwater Fish panicked. He tugged at Nian Liuyun and scolded, "I knew you shouldn't have told him. See, he doesn't know him …"
In any online game, the higher the Favorability of an NPC, the easier the quest would be for the player. This was a general rule.
For the same quest reward, a player with 100 Favorability might only be sent to the village entrance to kill some mobs. For a player with 0 Favorability, the NPC would definitely send them to kill a Boss. This was the difference between the two.
Although the fish in the water was so enthusiastic, Arzeus didn't even look him in the eye. Instead, he greeted Wang Yu first. Lord Dragon Slayer, you … From the way he addressed Wang Yu, it was obvious who was the superior one.
Nian Liuyun scratched his head and said gloomily, "Aiya, I didn't know Niu Ge knew him."
"Fine, fine, fine. Don't be so depressed. You have me to help you." Underwater Fish took out a large gold pouch and handed it to Nian Liuyun. He then gave Nian Liuyun a meaningful look.
Nian Liuyun walked up to Arzeus with some embarrassment and said, "Lord Arzeus, this is a small gift for our first meeting." Saying so, he handed over the gold pouch.
"Young man, you have a bright future." Arzeus chuckled and put away the gold pouch. The way he looked at Nian Liuyun changed from one of disdain to one of "kindness."
These were the NPCs in Rebirth. Every one of them was shameless. As long as they were given enough money, their faces would change quickly.
"Young man, what business do you have with me?" After receiving the money, Arzeus threw away the "Lord Dragon Slayer" and turned to look at Nian Liuyun with a flattering smile.
Such an ambiguous expression on Arzeus's big face would only make one feel distorted.
"I want to go to Lorain's Kakki Mountain to pick the Snow Lotus," Nian Liuyun said honestly.
"You want to go to the Sacred Mountain?" Arzeus's expression immediately turned serious. "The Sacred Mountain is my race's holy land. Only those who pass the test can go there."
"I'm willing to accept the test."
"Alright, Great Elder Arikos has been troubled by something recently. You should go look for him," Arzeus said.
"Alright …" Nian Liuyun received the quest and went to find Great Elder Arikos with Underwater Fish and the others.
After dismissing Nian Liuyun, Arzeus turned to Wang Yu and asked, "Lord Dragon Slayer, what brings you here?"
"I also want to go to the Kaki Mountain to pick the Snow Holy Lotus. Give me a test mission." Wang Yu said.
Arzeus smiled, "As expected of the Dragon Slayer, I admire your courage. As long as you can defeat me, you can go to the Sacred Mountain."
System Notification: You have activated the second part of the Side Quest, "Qualification to Climb the Mountain." Quest Level: A. Do you accept?
"F * ck!" Wang Yu almost spat out a mouthful of blood. As expected, Arzeus still bore a grudge against him. How could a big guy like him be so narrow-minded? How long had it been? Why was he still trying to save face?
"That's not appropriate, right? Aren't you being too biased?" Wang Yu said, depressed.
Arzeus was an ultimate Boss on the same level as the Hero Apostles. Arzeus might even be slightly more powerful. His Level 50 Apostle Doppelganger was already so powerful, not to mention a Level 200 God-ranked Boss. Wang Yu was not confident of defeating Arzeus.
"Naturally, Lord Dragon Slayer is different from those small fries. How about it? If you don't accept, I'll consider it a failure … "Arzeus was clearly using his position to take revenge, yet he still spoke in such a dignified manner. The shamelessness of NPCs was carved from the same mold.
"Wait …" Wang Yu hurriedly said, "We can fight, but are you sure that a God-ranked Boss like you wants to bully a Level 40 player like me?"
The Exclusive Mount Quest could only be completed once. If he canceled it, he would never be able to use Qinggong again. Wang Yu did not wish to give up just like that.
Arzeus said, "Relax. I'm not a shameless NPC. I will lower my strength to your level."
Saying so, Arzeus casually waved his hand and laid down a combat barrier, enveloping both Wang Yu and himself within it.
After entering the barrier, Arzeus's figure shrank to roughly the same height as Wang Yu. Meanwhile, Wang Yu also saw the weakened version of Arzeus's Attributes.
Titan King (Arzeus) (Level 40) (Dark-Gold) (Epic)
HP: 300000
MP: 50000
Skills: Shadow Thunder, Thunder Shatter, Flashing Lightning, Lightning Sweep
With his previous lesson, Arzeus was much smarter this time. Based on his skills alone, Shi Feng could tell that the bastard had not deliberately enhanced his attack power. Instead, he had increased his speed.
It seemed that Wang Yu's triple Attribute Strengthening had left quite a shadow in Arzeus's heart.
Wang Yu touched the last bottle of stimulant before returning it to his bag. Against such a Arzeus, Wang Yu wanted to challenge the Boss with his own strength.
After all, Wang Yu had improved over the past few days. Compared to the last time he had challenged Arzeus, Wang Yu's level had doubled.
Although a player's Attributes had only doubled from Level 20 to Level 40, the improvement to a player's strength could not be measured by Attributes. Equipment, Skills, and so on. Every aspect contributed to a player's strength. The current Wang Yu was more than three times stronger than when he had been Level 20. Against a Boss that was similar to the last time, using stimulants would be too useless.
"Lord Dragon Slayer, I won't be as careless as last time. Take this!" Arzeus knew that Wang Yu would be difficult to deal with. This time, he decided to take the initiative. As he spoke, he transformed into a streak of blue lightning as he charged at Wang Yu.
"Crap!"
Seeing Arzeus's speed, Wang Yu's pupils contracted.
As expected of a God-ranked Boss. Even after being weakened, his speed was still frighteningly fast. Even with Wang Yu's vision, he only managed to catch a glimpse of an afterimage.
In the next moment, Arzeus appeared behind Wang Yu, the lightning hammer in his hand smashing down on the top of Wang Yu's head.
Peng!
Wang Yu's body shattered, and the afterimage of Wang Yu's body stiffened slightly.
Immediately afterward, Arzeus recovered from his daze and pointed his thunder hammer forward, instantly appearing in front of Shi Feng.
Boom!
As Arzeus landed on the ground, the ground within a five-meter radius around him was shattered by the lightning. Dense blue cracks appeared on the ground. At the same time, Wang Yu, who was not far away from Arzeus, was struck by the Lightning Shatter and sent flying.
Inwardly depressed, Wang Yu muttered, Damn, there's such a move. If I had known earlier, I would've used Blink to escape …
