Chapter 152: Chapter 151: Offline Gathering, Infinite Phantom’s Plea for Help!
[T/N: This is a Christmas Bonus chapter, ENJOY~🎁🎄 Merry Christmas🎄🎁 guys]
As a level 40 six-star boss, the God of Death, Kira, possessed astonishingly powerful strength.
However, its existence was ultimately limited in time.
It only lasted long enough to eliminate one wave of demons before the God of Death exited the stage.
The next act was still up to Zhang Yue.
Zhang Yue's own explosive power was undeniable; those demons were merely walking experience points in front of him.
The epic twelve-winged World-Destroying Black Dragon, after mastering the [Body of Destruction] ability, gained a 40% attack speed and 50% basic attack damage boost, combined with the Dark Archer Set's additional 40% attack speed boost.
With an 80% attack speed increase, the World-Destroying Black Dragon turned into a turret, spewing basic attack energy cannons from its mouth, launching indiscriminate attacks on the demons on the ground.
Anyone who plays games knows that an archer's main output ultimately comes from basic attacks.
And this [Body of Destruction] ability greatly enhanced the World-Destroying Black Dragon's basic attack power, allowing each of its basic attacks to deal explosive damage of up to 50,000 points.
One demon after another was blasted to death by the World-Destroying Black Dragon.
As for the Skeleton King...
Since Zhang Yue allocated all the resources to the Black Dragon, its combat power lagged considerably.
However, it was still quite useful for luring monsters and playing support~
Liu Yao and Ling Xiaoyao obediently followed behind Zhang Yue, picking up items.
At first, it felt a bit dull, but soon, they got more excited the more they picked up.
"Whoa! Dark Set gear!"
"Whoa! Level 5 materials!"
"Whoa! Grabbing these copper coins by the handful feels amazing."
Liu Yao's three consecutive exclamations made Infinite Sword Saint, still battling demons on the other side, itch with envy.
"Picking up items looks pretty satisfying…"
"Damn it! After fighting for so long, I only killed a few demons. Forget it; I'm going to pick up items too."
So, Infinite Sword Saint also joined Liu Yao's group...
"Hey, bro, you pick up over there, leave some for me here."
"Why don't you go where the monsters are spawning faster? You sneaky old man."
"..."
Of course, it wasn't about whoever picked up the items got to keep them.
Everything Liu Yao and the others collected had to be turned in eventually.
After all, it was all dropped by Zhang Yue.
However, Zhang Yue offered them an irresistible deal: they could directly claim 10% of the collected loot when everything was done.
Don't underestimate that 10%.
With Zhang Yue's crazy monster-killing speed, even 10% amounted to a huge profit.
As a result, everyone willingly became Zhang Yue's laborers.
Liu Yao, Ling Xiaoyao, and Infinite Sword Saint were responsible for collecting items.
Infinite Phantom, Wu Haotian, and Lin Tian were responsible for luring monsters.
Zhang Yue handled the killing.
By the end of the day, just from monster kills alone, Zhang Yue gained enough experience to level up the World-Destroying Black Dragon from level 35 to level 38.
In addition...
They collected over a thousand level 5 materials, including forging items, herbs, and cooking ingredients.
Copper coins were countless.
Through [Necromantic Reaping], Zhang Yue acquired over 50 ordinary-grade demon pets and merged them into 5 elite-grade demons.
Additionally, they gathered more than fifty pieces of Dark Set equipment Among them, they completed a mage set and an assassin set.
The original purpose of collecting Dark Sets was to strengthen the power of Heavns Hall guild members.
Zhang Yue immediately put the two sets on the market, even in their basic white-refinement state, each worth tens of thousands. He gifted them directly to Lin Tian, the Thunder Mage, and Ouyang Ling'er, the Rogue.
This scene made everyone green with envy.
"Tens of thousands worth of Dark Set gear, just like that?" Liu Yao exclaimed in shock. "Whoa! Big Brother is so generous."
"The Heavens Hall guild's member benefits are this good?" Infinite Sword Saint couldn't hide his temptation. "Makes me want to join their guild too…"
Of course, what they didn't know was that Zhang Yue's benefits for guild members went far beyond this.
Earlier, through a demon contract, Zhang Yue had already allocated one billion units of Energy to each of Lin Tian and the others.
Energy was their biggest benefit.
Next, they just needed to get the equipment appraised at the safe zone and use Energy for a round of refinement. Then Lin Tian and Ouyang Ling'er would each have a full set of golden-tier Dark Set gear.
By this time, it was already 8 p.m.
Thinking that today's activities were done and they could grind again tomorrow to complete Wu Haotian and Ning Tiantian's Dark Sets, Zhang Yue and the others left Hell City.
Since Hell City offered an additional 30% experience and five times the Energy in combat rewards...
It was clear that Tian Xin'er and Su Jinyan were both in high spirits after a fruitful day.
As they hurried toward the city gates, Tian Xin'er cheerfully suggested, "Is everyone still in Linhai City? How about we meet up offline and go to the ocean restaurant for dinner?"
Ocean Restaurant.
Hearing that name, Wu Haotian's body stiffened in shock.
He remembered: this was the place he had taken Su Jinyan to dinner back when he was pursuing her.
He would never forget that meal, costing 38,000 yuan, which bankrupted him.
Ouyang Ling'er, a native of Linhai City, excitedly added, "Wow! The Ocean Restaurant is the most upscale restaurant in Linhai City. I heard the average cost per person there is over five figures, only affordable for the super-rich."
"Is Sister Xin'er really treating us there?"
Liu Yao raised his hand immediately. "I agree! No objections. I can take a cab myself."
Wu Haotian grinned. "Their food is really good. Thank you in advance, Miss Tian."
Tian Xin'er smiled warmly. "It's nothing, just a small treat."
She turned to Zhang Yue. "Zhang Yue, you should come too!"
Unexpectedly, Zhang Yue declined. "You guys go ahead. I'll pass."

At the Same Time
Linhai City, Academician's Residence Complex.
Just as Zhang Yue was about to leave, he suddenly received a direct message from Infinite Phantom, who had added him as a friend during the monster hunt near Hell's Gate.
"Brother, this is my first time asking you… Please, save our Infinite Guild."
"If you don't come, we're finished."
