The palace of the Tianwei Empire was so big that it made one's hair stand on end. Zhang Yang and the others spent a day and a night (real time) to clear out one-fifth of the palace. They had obtained almost a thousand Silver-grade equipment!
They had no choice. Their backpacks were not enough, so they could only leave Zhang Yang inside. The four girls tore open their Teleportation Talismans and returned to the main city. They first deposited the equipment into the bank, then asked Zhang Yang to summon them with the Party Summon Order.
Fortunately, the Party Summon Order only had a cooldown time of one hour, so they did not have to worry about wasting Silver-grade equipment.
On the afternoon of the second day, the party arrived at a side palace, where they encountered the first boss of the palace. Actually, they could have gone around it, but there was no reason not to fight the boss!
[Stingy Cuckoo] (Gold Leader, Specter)
Level: 96
Health Points: 3,000,000
Armor: 1,700
For the current Zhang Yang's team, a mere Gold Boss was just a piece of cake! Moreover, it could be imagined that any party that could enter this place must have gone through countless trials. They were strong parties that could even step on a Purple Gold boss. Therefore, this boss was a blessing!
Bang! Bang! Bang! The five of them surrounded the boss and attacked it. Soon, the boss fell, dropping one Gold and two Silver equipment.
As Zhang Yang collected his spoils of war, he had a feeling that the monsters in the palace would not pose much of a challenge. However, the monsters' loot was extremely bountiful. It was as if they were rewarding players in advance.
Moreover, not only were there many monsters in this place, but there were also many herbs. He really did not know how these herbs grew in this isolated place! But this was not something that Zhang Yang needed to worry about. What he needed to do was to summon the Herb Gatherer every hour and let the little guy collect herbs.
The little guy was very cute. When he summoned it, the four girls' eyes lit up. Wei Yan'er hugged the little guy and did not let go. She strangled the little guy's neck, causing the little guy to stick out its tongue and kick its limbs!
When the little guy returned an hour later, Wei Yan'er could not help but ask, "Anemic Warrior, where did this little guy put the herbs?"
This … Zhang Yang was speechless. He thought for a long time and said, "It probably has a backpack on it!"
"Really? Where? Where? Let me see! "Wei Yan 'er blinked her big eyes and asked.
Zhang Yang sighed and decided to ignore this curious baby.
After spending five whole days in the real world, the party finally cleared out the entire Imperial City. Zhang Yang could guarantee that not a single monster would be left behind! This was because wherever Han Ying Xue and Wei Yan'er went, they scraped the ground three feet deep. They could even squeeze oil out of a rock, not even an embroidery needle was spared. How could they miss something as large as a monster?
In these five days, Zhang Yang and the others had obtained a total of 3532 Silver-grade equipment and 17 Gold-grade equipment. This was definitely a huge harvest.
Although the price of Silver-grade equipment had fallen drastically, Common Silver-grade equipment could easily sell for 100 Gold Coins. On the other hand, rare equipment such as weapons, cloaks, and shields could sell for hundreds or even thousands of Gold Coins!
With so many Silver-grade equipment, they could sell for at least 600,000 to 700,000 Gold Coins. Including the relatively valuable Gold-grade equipment, their current harvest was no less than 1,000,000 Gold Coins! In fact, what made Zhang Yang even happier was that there were so many medicinal herbs in the palace that it was dazzling. Moreover, many of them were extremely precious medicinal herbs. It was as if the palace had been isolated from the world for too long. Thousands of years of accumulation had all fallen into Zhang Yang's hands!
Five days in the real world was 360 hours in the game. Deducting the time spent on eating and training, they had summoned 350 Herb Gatherer Beasts and spent 350,000 Gold Coins. However, they had earned more than 1,000,000 Gold Coins from picking herbs! Moreover, there were a few medicinal herbs that could not be bought even with money!
For example, the Mystic Heavenly Fruit could be refined into a Fortune Potion. One bottle could increase all attributes by 10 points, and it was a permanent increase! This effect was the same as the Destiny Stone dropped in Ghost Cave. However, Ghost Cave had a 10 day respawn time (in the real world). Moreover, it was only a Level 50 monster, and the respawn location was not fixed. Any high-level player could easily clear it. No matter how strong a guild was, they could not even think about monopolizing the whole place. It all depended on luck. Whoever arrived first would benefit!
The Mystic Heavenly Fruit could not be bought even with money!
Now, all they had to do was get the recipe for the Fortune Potion! Moreover, Zhang Yang had an understanding of Alchemy. If he could make a few Mutated 10 Fortune Potions, he might be able to increase all attributes by 20 points!
After completely emptying their bags, the five of them arrived in front of the palace's treasure room. They were blocked by a huge metal door that was at least 50 meters tall!
Wei Yan'er tried to push the door, but it was like an ant trying to shake a tree. The door did not budge at all! The little girl was unconvinced. She swung her big axe at the door. As a result … a corner of the axe was forcefully broken, losing 10% of its durability for nothing. The little girl was so angry that she cried.
Zhang Yang took out the Void Key and inserted it into a small hole on the door. Suddenly, there was a series of mechanical clicking sounds, and the Void Key automatically retreated from the small hole. Then, the seemingly intact door slowly split open in the middle and split into two sides, revealing a pitch-black space, the depth of which was unknown.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
One by one, torches lit up in the treasure room, like dominoes. Soon, the entire treasure room was brightly lit! However, the treasure room was too big. Although the five of them looked into the distance, they could not see the end!
"Be careful, from here onwards, the real challenge should begin!" Zhang Yang said.
"Coward!" Wei Yan'er sneered.
Zhang Yang smiled and said, "Then you walk in front!"
Wei Yan'er hurriedly shook her head like a rattle drum and said, "I don't want to!"
Zhang Yang stepped into the treasure room, sword and shield in hand. He was very careful.
Although his equipment had reached the peak of the current stage of a tank, in his previous life, he had never heard of any team completing this task. Zhang Yang did not believe that the players who could come here in his previous life would be much inferior to their team. However, the other party had failed!
This meant that the difficulty of clearing the treasure room was extremely high. Zhang Yang did not dare to be careless.
"Ding! You have entered the treasure room! You only have 12 hours to find the Fallen Star Sword. Otherwise, you will be teleported out of the Royal City. You must re-activate the Void Key to enter! The treasure room has a total of five floors. Each floor is guarded by a Commander tier monster. The Fallen Star Sword is on the last floor. "
In the system prompt, Zhang Yang and the others had a forced effect called "Banish". The countdown began from 11 hours 59 minutes 59 seconds.
It turned out that there was a time limit from here. No wonder the team in his previous life did not complete the task. Once the battle was too intense, it would take more time. When the time was up, they would be kicked out of this place. Naturally, they would not be able to complete the task if they used up all three teleportation chances.
Clang — clang — The sound of metal hitting the ground was heard. A fully armored general appeared in front of Zhang Yang and the others. Every step he took made a harsh sound on the ground. He had a sword hanging from his waist and his face was covered with a helmet. He looked majestic!
[Treasure Room Guardian] (Elite, Specter)
Level: 95
Health Points: 3,000,000
Armor Points: 2,000
"Treasure Room. Trespassers will die!" The Guardian let out a low voice. The undead flames in his eyes flickered. Clang, he unsheathed his sword and rushed towards Zhang Yang and the others.
"God, is this still an Elite monster? Its Health Points and Armor Points are even higher than a Gold Boss! "Narcissus Blossom complained.
Zhang Yang raised his sword and faced the monster, saying, "It really is a scam. This is a Gold Boss level difficulty, but the drops are from normal monsters. What a waste!"
But he still had to fight!
"Old monster, people say that everything is over when you are dead. When you were alive, people paid you a salary. Now that you are a ghost, why do you still work for others for free? What a waste!" Wei Yan'er attacked the boss while trying to convince the monster to give up on this battle from an economic point of view.
The Treasure Room Guardian swung its heavy sword. It was like a heavy tank rolling over. Every hit made Zhang Yang stagger back! At this time, if there were other melee players around the monster, it would prioritize attacking the people nearby, showing a certain degree of "intelligence."
Fortunately, the one who was attacked was Sun Xinyu. The woman reacted quickly. When she found that the monster did not chase after Zhang Yang but attacked her, she quickly activated "Dodge" and successfully held on until Zhang Yang ran back to take over the monster's aggro.
After suffering a loss, Sun Xinyu and Wei Yan'er both understood that as long as the monster attacked, they would immediately leave the monster's melee range so that the monster would directly go to Zhang Yang.
This monster's Health Points was already very long. In addition to this kind of battle that was extremely unfavorable for damage output, it took the team a full three minutes to kill the monster. Fortunately, Zhang Yang quickly found a corresponding way. As long as his back was against a wall or a pillar, although he would still be knocked back, it was much better than constantly retreating.
After killing the monster, the team continued to move forward. However, not long after, another Treasure Room Guardian appeared and attacked the team.
After killing more than a dozen monsters, Zhang Yang could not help but frown. He did not know if they could complete the final goal at this rate! However, this was already the team's strongest firepower, and there was no way to squeeze out any extra damage.
The team continued to move forward, killing countless monsters along the way. After four hours, they finally reached the end of the treasure room. However, the strange thing was that there was neither a passage to the second floor nor a guardian boss. However, the system clearly indicated that the treasure room had a total of five floors. Where was the guardian boss and the passage to the lower floor? (To be continued. If you like this work, please come to Qidian.Com to vote for me. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
