Healing to Kill

SZ City, 18th floor of Longteng Building.

The first-class gaming club "Xiongtu Club" is located here.

Previously, Xiongtu Club had established professional teams in several popular games, and they were all doing quite well.

However, as soon as "Gods" went online, the club boldly shut down other game projects and fully invested in "Gods."

In the training room, a long row of computers was filled with people.

Although the computers were on, most of them were in black screen mode.

The majority of people were wearing gaming helmets.

Among them, Wang Xiao, a core member of the first team, was browsing the forums, gathering useful information.

Suddenly.

He shouted to the captain beside him, "Captain Feng, check out this video on the official forum!"

"Wait a minute, let me finish this mob."

Their captain, "Xiongtu Cold Wind," was leading the team in leveling up.

Then, he partially exited the game and looked at Wang Xiao beside him, "What's up?"

"Look at this!"

Wang Xiao opened a video on the forum.

Title: "Hundreds of Players Teleport to Giant Deer City, A Grand Entrance!"

Xiongtu Cold Wind focused his attention.

In the video, a large group of players emerged from a massive teleportation array.

Among them, a familiar name at the forefront caught Xiongtu Cold Wind's attention.

"Blade-Raising Slayer of Yama? What are they doing in Giant Deer City?"

Xiongtu Cold Wind frowned. They had always kept an eye on these old and large guilds, noting details like the guild leader's ID and the guild's movements.

Moreover, Xiongtu's core team was currently farming mobs in Giant Deer City.

"At least two or three hundred people, the teleportation fee alone would be tens of thousands. What are they here for?"

This made Xiongtu Cold Wind a bit uneasy.

"Captain Feng, I just asked around. The Heavenly Guild is here to deal with a few people," Wang Xiao quickly replied.

"Who?"

Xiongtu Cold Wind was puzzled. The Heavenly Guild made such a grand entrance just to deal with a few people?

"I heard it's the team that completed the Ancient Mystic Realm BOSS first kill," Wang Xiao replied.

"The three-person team with the so-called national server's number one knight?"

Xiongtu Cold Wind was surprised. He was naturally aware of the three-person team that completed the first kill.

The moment the server-wide announcement came out, they quickly checked the IDs of "Qing Ying," "Mortal World," and "Tao Xiaoyao."

He had also watched the video of Qing Ying and the others exiting the dungeon.

He agreed with the claim that Qing Ying, the female knight, was the national server's number one knight.

After all, they completed the first kill of the Ancient Mystic Realm BOSS, which was undeniable.

But...

Why would the Heavenly Guild have a conflict with the first kill team?

Xiongtu Cold Wind asked, puzzled, "Do you know the reason?"

"It seems the Heavenly Guild was about to get the first kill of the BOSS, but they were beaten to it. Their guild leader is furious and wants revenge."

Wang Xiao shared the information he gathered, then added with disdain, "Do you think the Heavenly Guild's leader has lost his mind, being so arrogant and making strong enemies?"

"You're thinking too simply. Blade-Raising Slayer of Yama may be arrogant, but he's not as stupid as you think."

Xiongtu Cold Wind analyzed, "He's likely doing this to show off 'muscle' and attract players to strengthen the guild."

"Attract players?"

Wang Xiao was puzzled.

"The Heavenly Guild wants to send a message: whether it's the number one knight or the number one in any other class, their guild can take them down. This is very attractive to other players."

As he spoke, Xiongtu Cold Wind took a sip of water and stretched lazily.

"Is that so?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Xiao pondered, then asked, "What if the Heavenly Guild fails?"

"Two or three hundred people against three? Do you think you're being funny?"

Xiongtu Cold Wind pursed his lips and continued, "However, we might be able to get involved in this matter."

"Stir things up?"

Wang Xiao was stunned.

"We've checked that first kill team several times; they don't belong to any guild or club. Maybe we can recruit them."

Xiongtu Cold Wind rubbed his chin, already having an idea in mind.

"Help them?"

Wang Xiao asked in surprise, "Wouldn't that offend the Heavenly Guild? Clashing with them now would be bad for the club's future development, right?"

"Who said you have to do it openly? And we don't necessarily have to confront them directly."

Xiongtu Cold Wind quickly made arrangements, "Find out the current location of the first kill team immediately. Our people are in Giant Deer City, so we have that advantage."

"Got it."

...

Nightmare Forest, Demonic Rift.

Jiang Chen was still farming Demon Soldiers here.

Every time Qing Ying pulled twenty mobs, Jiang Chen quickly cast a "Small Holy Light Apocalypse Array" to clear them all.

The efficiency was extremely high.

Moreover, after clearing each batch of mobs, a large amount of equipment would drop on the ground!

This was the reward for the infinite challenge.

While Qing Ying was pulling more mobs, Jiang Chen quickly picked up the loot on the ground.

All the equipment was Bronze Level.

The drop rate was even higher than in the Ancient Mystic Realm dungeon!

"Didn't expect the drop rate to be this high. It must be due to the 'Pathfinder' title, which increases drop rate by 50%."

Five minutes later, Jiang Chen encountered an awkward situation: his backpack was full.

All 50 slots in his backpack were filled.

"Let's feed them to the Magic Crystal Ball!"

Jiang Chen quickly fused the Bronze equipment into the "Ancient Necromancer's Magic Crystal Ball."

[You have fused Tenacious Leather Armor (Bronze Level), Ancient Necromancer's Magic Crystal Ball growth value +10.]

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

...

After fusing sixteen pieces of equipment.

[Notice: Ancient Necromancer's Magic Crystal Ball growth value is full (300/300), upgraded to Gold Level!]

Jiang Chen saw that his Magic Crystal Ball's quality had improved!

[Ancient Necromancer's Magic Crystal Ball (Gold Level) (Upgradeable): Intelligence +40.

Bonus: Double Casting (40% chance for active skills to have double effect.)

Growth Value: 0/3000 (Any equipment can be fused to gain growth value. When full, the equipment's grade will upgrade.)]

At the same time, his stats panel also changed.

Intelligence: 125 (↑20)

Spell Power: 320 (↑40)

"Wow, this is incredible!"

Jiang Chen exclaimed in surprise.

What delighted him the most wasn't the increase in Intelligence, but the 40% trigger chance for Double Casting!
