Healing to Kill

Chapter 22 – Growth Equipment, Three-Star Skill Book



As soon as the server-wide announcement was made, the top-tier players were almost all stunned.

"So fast? They just bought the equipment and already got the first kill?"

Domineering Madman was momentarily dumbfounded, his face full of shock.

But he quickly shook his head. "No way... It can't be the person who bought the equipment that got the first kill!"

"Who are these people?"

Looking at the three names on the announcement, Domineering Madman found it hard to believe.

It wasn't just him; other major guilds capable of challenging the dungeon, as well as top players, were equally incredulous.

Because this announcement revealed a very straightforward piece of information.

The team that completed the first kill consisted of only three people, not a four-person team.

You have to understand, even though it's just one person less, the difficulty of the dungeon increases exponentially.

At this moment, the one who couldn't accept it the most was the Heavenly Guild's leader, Blade-Raising Slayer of Yama, who had just bought the Blood Tide Greatsword.

He stared at the announcement, his eyes filled with uncontrollable rage.

The core members of the guild around him were all silent, not daring to make a sound.

They knew the guild leader was already furious, on the verge of exploding.

"Find out for me! No matter which guild these three belong to, daring to steal my first kill, I will make them pay!" Blade-Raising Slayer of Yama roared in anger.

"These people who managed to clear the Ancient Mystic Realm are definitely not ordinary. It's unwise to make enemies rashly."

Many understood this logic, but no one dared to say it out loud.

To make a strong enemy or to endure the guild leader's current wrath?

The guild members tacitly chose the former.

In the Ancient Mystic Realm.

As soon as the auction time ended, Jiang Chen and his team decisively took down the BOSS, Ancient Necromancer.

Its massive skeletal body fell to the ground, emitting a faint glow.

[You have killed the Bronze Level dungeon BOSS: Ancient Necromancer, completing the first kill (first clear) achievement, and earned the title of Pathfinder.]

[Your level has increased to: Level 11!]

[Your Four Attributes +1 point, and you have gained 4 free attribute points.]

"All into Intelligence!"

Constitution: 20 (↑1)

Strength: 20 (↑1)

Agility: 20 (↑1)

Intelligence: 85 (↑5)

Spell Power: 240 (↑10)

After adding the points, Jiang Chen quickly checked the newly acquired title.

[Pathfinder: Loot drop rate +50%.]

Wow, incredible!

"It actually increases the drop rate!"

Jiang Chen's joy was evident!

Moreover...

"We leveled up!"

"And got a title?!"

Qing Ying and Tao Xiaoyao exclaimed in surprise.

They also leveled up to Level 11.

Similarly, both of them received the [Pathfinder] title!

Ignoring the astonishment of the two girls, Jiang Chen swiftly picked up the BOSS's loot.

[Ancient Necromancer's Magic Crystal Ball (Silver Level) (Growth): Intelligence +20.

Additional: Dual Casting (20% chance for active skills to trigger double effect).

Growth Value: 0/300 (Can fuse with any equipment to gain growth value. When growth value is full, equipment grade increases.)

Suitable for Mage, Priest, Summoner. Required Level: LV10.] (First kill unique drop!)

[Life Necklace (Silver Level): Health +100

Additional: Out of combat, can actively trigger recovery, restoring 2% of maximum health per second for 25 seconds, fixed cooldown: 1 minute.

Suitable for all classes. Required Level: LV10.]

[Frenzy War Ring (Silver Level): Attack Power +20.

Additional: Critical Rate +5%, Critical Damage +5%.

Suitable for Warrior, Assassin, Archer.]

Three pieces of equipment, two of which Jiang Chen could use.

He equipped them immediately!

[Ancient Necromancer's Magic Crystal Ball] was an off-hand item. Once equipped, a purple crystal ball orbited around Jiang Chen, then turned into a phantom and disappeared.

Intelligence: 105 (↑20)

Spell Power: 280 (↑40)

Health: 480 (↑100)

Jiang Chen's spell power and health both saw a significant boost!

Moreover, [Ancient Necromancer's Magic Crystal Ball] was a growth-type equipment!

Its inherent Dual Casting, once triggered, would deal devastating damage!

The last item, [Frenzy War Ring], was a critical-type equipment that could enhance the burst damage of physical classes!

In addition to the equipment, the BOSS also dropped a skill book.

[Sealed Skill Book (Three-Star): Unsealed, effect unknown, cannot be learned.]

"The probability of the Ancient Necromancer BOSS dropping a skill book is relatively high, but it's usually a one-star. It's rare to get a two-star skill book, and our luck is incredible!"

Jiang Chen knew that this three-star skill book was likely due to the two-star skill book drop, plus the loot quality +1, making it a three-star!

This dungeon run:

Trash mobs dropped 18 Bronze items.

Elite mobs dropped 1 Silver item.

The BOSS dropped 3 Silver items, one of which was a growth-type equipment!

And a three-star skill book!

A bountiful harvest!

"The marketplace has a daily listing limit. Bronze-level equipment won't be sold; they can be used to feed the 'Magic Crystal Ball'!"

Jiang Chen chose to fuse the Bronze equipment into the [Ancient Necromancer's Magic Crystal Ball].

[You have fused the Bone Dagger (Bronze Level), Ancient Necromancer's Magic Crystal Ball growth value +10.]

[You have fused the Swift Wind Longbow (Bronze Level), Ancient Necromancer's Magic Crystal Ball growth value +10.]

...

A total of 14 pieces of equipment were fused, Magic Crystal Ball growth value: 140/300.

"This is a real money pit!"

Jiang Chen couldn't help but sigh.

However, he was in an excellent mood.

"I've prepared two pieces of equipment for each of you. Use them for now."

Jiang Chen left a shield and a leather armor for Qing Ying.

He left a staff and a robe for Tao Xiaoyao.

Although they were Bronze-level equipment, their attributes were quite good.

At least at this stage, they were considered top-tier equipment.

After all, the number of Silver-level equipment in the marketplace could be counted on two hands.

After trading the equipment.

Qing Ying and Tao Xiaoyao looked at each other.

Surprised, their faces couldn't help but blush.

They had done almost nothing, not only gaining experience but also earning the first clear title and now receiving such valuable equipment...

Both felt a bit embarrassed.

However, Jiang Chen had a different perspective.

Although it seemed like the two did almost nothing, without these two "tools," he wouldn't have been able to defeat the BOSS alone.

Moreover, it was just two pieces of Bronze equipment, insignificant to him.

Jiang Chen glanced at the two girls. "Stop dawdling, let's head to the main city!"
