Lone Desert Smoke's sudden success in clearing the dungeon had disappointed all the elite parties who were exploring the Hardcore Mode of the Main Dungeon.
There were at least 20 to 30 top guilds in the 8 main cities of China. Their exploration parties had already reached the fifth stage of the dungeon a few days ago. It was supposed to be the final stage of the dungeon. Once they cleared the final stage of the dungeon, they would be rewarded with great glory. However, they were stuck at the final stage of the dungeon until now.
They thought that their party's equipment was not up to standard and their potential had not been fully utilized. That was why they tried their best to kill the boss. The strongest party could only reduce the boss's HP to 10%.
Maybe they could have cleared the dungeon with better equipment or a few more classes. However, Zhang Yang's party had caught everyone off guard. The First Clear Achievement was gone just like that!
If it happened once or twice, it could still be attributed to luck. However, if it happened again and again, it was worth paying attention to!
In the past, none of the big guilds dared to look down on Lone Desert Smoke. However, at this moment, no one dared to doubt the strength of Lone Desert Smoke. Everyone remembered the name of Zhang Yang's party in their hearts. They knew that they had another strong competitor in the China region's guild competition.
…
After equipping a new shield, Zhang Yang's HP instantly increased to 2,740 points and his Defense increased to 236 points. He could even take a few hits from the Hardcore Mode of the dungeon.
After distributing the loot, Zhang Yang led the party to the Hard Mode of the Main Dungeon and obtained 6 Green-Copper equipment. Although Green-Copper equipment was not as good as Gray-Silver equipment, it was still comparable to the equipment from the 5-man Hardcore Mode dungeon.
Furthermore, it was still a set equipment! Furthermore, equipment of different quality could also trigger the set effect. For example, wearing a Black-Steel helmet, a Green-Copper chest plate, and a Gray-Silver boots could still trigger a 3-piece set effect. Even if it was a 5-piece set effect, it would still be the same!
Among the party, Drizzler was the luckiest one. She had obtained the boots from the Hardcore Mode dungeon and Zhang Yang had given it to her for the Hard Mode dungeon. She had obtained 2 Green-Copper equipment, which was the first additional effect of the set.
After clearing the Hard Mode dungeon, Zhang Yang dismissed the party and allowed everyone to do whatever they wanted. However, he immediately formed a new party and added Frost Night to the party.
"Let's go to the Cave of Bones!"
"Oh yeah! I want a horse!" Drizzler immediately jumped for joy.
They had been to the Cave of Bones once yesterday, but none of the bosses on the fifth floor had respawned. Everyone thought that because the boss on the fifth floor was a Gray-Silver, it affected the respawn time of the other bosses as well. They all thought that since the boss on the fifth floor was a Gray-Silver, it affected the respawn time of the other bosses as well.
On their first try, they were able to clear all five floors without much difficulty. Not to mention, their equipment had improved to a whole new level this time. With the addition of a powerful DPS player like Frost Night, they were able to clear all four floors without a hitch.
Unfortunately, no matter if it was the Transformation Hat, the Scroll, or the God Oil, none of them dropped! The reason why they were able to reap such a huge harvest last time was probably because the first time the boss died, it dropped a lot of loot!
Upon entering the fifth floor, Zhang Yang and the gang were worried that they would not be able to kill Shurian without the antidote. However, when they entered, they discovered that the poisonous fog around them had long since disappeared. It should be a special effect of the quest. Otherwise, only players above Level 50 would be able to force their way in by relying on equipment and level suppression.
This time, with the help of the [Beginner Anti-Shadow Potion], they were able to defeat Shurian effortlessly. At the same time, Shurian was extremely stingy this time. It only gave out three Gray-Silver equipment, which were taken by Drizzler, Little Snow, and Frost Night.
After clearing the Cave of the Bones, it was already 2 pm. Zhang Yang quickly dismissed the party and went offline to have a meal.
After filling his stomach and resting for a while, Zhang Yang logged back into the game.
Humbly Gentleman wanted to set me up, didn't he? Hehe, I'll let him pay with all his money and regret it!
Zhang Yang opened his friend list and found that Humbly Gentleman was online. He secretly smiled and sent a private message to him. "Guildmaster Humbly, what are you busy with?"
"Oh, it's Zhan Yu!" Humbly Gentleman quickly replied. "Haha, I forgot to congratulate you guys for getting the first clear achievement!"
"Hehe, to be honest, guildmaster Humbly, I'm just lucky!" Zhang Yang sent the attributes of the [Beginner Anti-Shadow Potion] over. "I was lucky to get this recipe. Otherwise, the fifth stage of Marzerway would be really difficult!"
Humbly Gentleman's face turned green when he saw it.
The first party of The Dominators had also entered the fifth stage of Marzerway two days ago. However, they were annihilated by the sky full of shadow arrows in less than half a minute! They tried to add a few more healers, but they could not even get past the first four stages! After that, they went into the fifth stage with the normal party formation. Some of them were sacrificed to protect the strong DPS players. However, that was not enough. If they did not protect enough people, they would not be able to kill the boss in 2.5 minutes. Once the boss went berserk, the whole party would be wiped out instantly! If they protected too many people, they would be courting death!
No matter how they changed their strategy, the fifth stage of Marzerway was like a god, standing there proudly!
Humbly Gentleman's face turned green when he saw the attributes of the [Beginner Anti-Shadow Potion]. If they also had this thing, Marzerway's First Blood would be theirs. There would be no pressure at all!
Why?! Why?! Why was Zhan Yu so lucky?!
Humbly Gentleman was angry but he would not show it. He suppressed his emotions and said, "Zhan Yu, let's make a deal. How about selling a batch of potions to us?"
I was waiting for you to open your mouth! Zhang Yang purposely paused for a while and said, "Guildmaster Humbly, the materials for this potion are very hard to find. I don't have much left. I have to save some for the next raid!"
"Haha, 20-man dungeons will only be refreshed once every 3 days. You still have plenty of time to collect the materials!" Humbly Gentleman persuaded. Although he could not get the first clear of the dungeon, getting the second clear of the dungeon was not bad. At least he could suppress Sky High and Crimson Rage!
Furthermore, since the first clear of the dungeon was gone, the next competition would be the dungeon race. If he could get the Gray-Silver set equipment and go back to the 5-man dungeon, he would be able to squeeze out the time to clear the dungeon!
Thirdly, he still had to prepare for the first clear of the level 30 dungeon! Would the effect be the same if he wore a Gray-Silver set equipment and a Green-Copper set equipment?
Therefore, no matter how high Zhang Yang's price was, Humbly Gentleman decided to buy it!
Zhang Yang pretended to hesitate for a while and replied, "Since guildmaster Humbly Gentleman is so insistent, I have to give you some face! But the price … "
Humbly Gentleman cursed under his breath. You're pushing and shoving just to get more money, aren't you?! Although his heart was filled with disdain, he could not reveal his disdain in between the lines. Humbly Gentleman carefully worded his words. "How many do you have?"
“100！”
Humbly Gentleman immediately calculated in his heart. With the current proficiency of the dungeon exploration team, as long as they could solve the problem of the {Shadow Arrow Rain}, they could definitely defeat the boss in one go! Currently, the team was around level 22. If they were to level up once every 2 days, they would need another 15 days to reach level 30.
20-man dungeons would be refreshed once every 3 days, so they should be able to defeat Marzerway 5 more times. 100 potions was just enough!
What a coincidence! Humbly Gentleman thought to himself and sent a private message to Zhang Yang, "I want all of them!"
However, he did not know that Zhang Yang had already calculated the cost for him. The number 100 was not just for show.
Zhang Yang immediately replied, "No, the materials are hard to find. If I give you all the potions, what should I do?"
"Hehehe, you guys have already gotten the first clear of the dungeon. Actually, it doesn't matter if we fight or not!" Humbly Gentleman said, "I'll give you a high price. 10,000 gold coins! How about 10,000 gold coins? "
"10,000 gold coins …" Zhang Yang pretended to be deep in thought, "These materials are really hard to find!"
"50 … 50 thousand gold coins!" Humbly Gentleman gritted his teeth.
"… Alright!" Zhang Yang reluctantly agreed, but in his heart, he was already very happy.
Currently, the exchange rate between gold coins and real money was 1: 7. 50 thousand gold coins would be 300,000 dollars! Actually, Zhang Yang did not really care about the money. Because when the majority of players reach level 20 and grind for the first set of equipment, the [Beginner Anti-Shadow Potion] would at least bring him millions of gold coins!
Zhang Yang was just angry at the hypocrite Humbly Gentleman, so he purposely tricked him!
"Then, guildmaster Humbly Gentleman, I'll send you a paid email later!"
"Okay … Hurry up!"
After ending the trade with Humbly Gentleman, Zhang Yang searched for another person's name in the search bar and sent a message over. "Guild master Snow, would you be interested in buying a few bottles of this potion?" Zhang Yang sent over the attributes of the [Beginner Anti-Shadow Potion].
After a while, the other party replied, "I was wondering how you guys cleared the fifth stage of Marzerway! After seeing this, I finally know the reason! "
"Hehe, I guess it's luck! How about it? Do you want to buy some? "
"What's the price?" Snow Seeker was more cautious, unlike Humbly Gentleman who did not ask for the price first.
"1 gold coin per bottle!"
1 gold coin per bottle. This was the market price in his previous life. Zhang Yang did not intend to cheat the other party, because the person he wanted to cheat had already been cheated. He just wanted to make Humbly Gentleman even more miserable!
"Alright, how many bottles can you provide?" Snow Seeker was more far-sighted. Although the First Clear team needed this potion to kill Marzerway, the normal players also needed this potion to clear Marzerway in Hard Mode, and even Easy Mode!
After all, there were only a few elite players in each guild, and they could not expect everyone to be experts! The cornerstone of a guild was a large number of normal players. Without them, the elite players could not support a guild!
"1,000, 10,000, as many as you want!" Zhang Yang replied.
"Hehe, looks like guildmaster Zhan Yu is going to be rich!" Snow Seeker immediately saw the business opportunity. Top guilds only needed this potion to clear Marzerway in Hardcore Mode, but what about normal players? They might also need it in Hard Mode, or even Normal Mode. After all, this would greatly reduce the difficulty of the dungeon, right?
Furthermore, the price was not expensive, only 1 gold coin. If converted to real money, it would only be 7 dollars. But because of this, there was a chance to equip a class equipment set!
Brother, a class equipment set! The first set equipment set in the game! You don't have it? Then you're out!
In the entire game, the majority of players were normal players! Based on China's 4 million players (after the server was launched, the number of new players had increased, and the number had at least doubled), White Jade Castle had a total of 500,000 players. Even if everyone only bought one bottle, that would be 500,000 gold coins!
Every time a dungeon was cleared, there would only be 6 set equipment drops. For a party of 20 people, it would take at least 15 to 16 times to collect a full set of equipment. That would be … 8,000,000 gold coins!
Oh my god! Snow Seeker did not know, but when she did the math, she was shocked. Even if the value of gold coins had been decreasing, it would still be 8,000,000 gold coins!
Of course, she was thinking too much. After all, making potions required time, and there was a limit to the quantity.
"Hehe, then how about I send 1,000 bottles to guildmaster Snow Seeker first?"
"Okay, I'll pay for the letter. Sorry to trouble you, guildmaster Zhan Yu!"
“8！”
"Bye!"
Humbly Gentleman, you hypocrite, let's see if you will cry when the time comes! Zhang Yang found another name and sent a message to that person, "Guildmaster Sky Shaman, are you busy?"
