Lin Yi stood by the corpse of the Three-headed Serpent, looking at the [Exclusive] equipment in his hand, greatly surprised:
"I didn’t expect it to be an [Exclusive], this is a pleasant surprise."
Since [Exclusive] equipment does not have levels, the equipment itself had no luster.
Unless someone Lin Yi knows, relying on Lin Yi’s vision couldn’t distinguish such rare [Exclusive] equipment.
So at first, when Lin Yi saw the equipment’s shadow, he thought it was just an ordinary dagger and didn’t pay it any attention.
The equipment Lin Yi currently has on him was still obtained from that "Secret Treasure Contest" event in Vermilion Bird City, from the Snow Demon, [Snow Demon Soul].
Clearly, this [Exclusive] is much better than what he had on him, so Lin Yi directly replaced it.
This BOSS, with a high level of 48, not only dropped an [Exclusive] for Lin Yi but also a piece of legendary equipment:
[Extreme Thief Bracelet] Lv41 Legendary.
This equipment is leather armor for thieves, with pretty good attributes, but the usage level is as high as 41, so it’s not likely to be usable anytime soon.
In addition, there are also two pieces of epic equipment and various other equipment materials.
All the equipment’s level is above 40, except for this [Exclusive], the others are also unusable.
When Lin Yi finished sorting out everything, he saw the Jade Qilin pacing back and forth beside the Three-headed Serpent’s corpse, angrily saying:
"Damn three-headed worm, almost tired me to death."
As he said this, the Jade Qilin didn’t forget to continuously kick the Three-headed Serpent’s head with its hooves to vent:
"I’ll teach you to be arrogant."
"Come hit me, huh."
"Now you’re dead, hah."
After venting for a while, the Jade Qilin finally felt relieved, grinning:
"This is the cost of offending me, hmph~"
Then the Jade Qilin ran happily to Lin Yi to claim credit:
"Boss, how was it? My performance just now wasn’t bad, right."
Lin Yi was not stingy with his praise, giving a thumbs up:
"As expected of a Divine Beast Qilin, indeed formidable."
In fact, if it weren’t for this fool Jade Qilin attracting most of the Three-headed Serpent’s firepower, Lin Yi might have died, unable to complete the task.
It was the first time Jade Qilin received such ’high’ praise from Lin Yi, and it couldn’t help but smile broadly:
"Piece of cake, piece of cake, hehe, heheheh..."
Looking at the proud Jade Qilin, Lin Yi also chuckled:
"Then let’s go."
Jade Qilin froze for a moment, then asked uncertainly:
"Still, still fighting?"
The previous creature had nearly taken its life, and if another stronger one appeared, even the narcissistic Jade Qilin would feel insecure.
After all, due to Lin Yi, Jade Qilin now only had the strength of the Third Transformation.
Facing such a Fourth Transformation Boss with Third Transformation strength was already Jade Qilin’s limit.
If it forcefully exceeded its limit by even a little, even the proud Jade Qilin would tuck its tail and stay far away.
Seeing Jade Qilin’s bewildered expression, how could Lin Yi not notice its concerns?
Lin Yi then comforted it:
"Let’s see what the task for the next floor is first, if it’s another Boss fight, we won’t do it."
With their current level and equipment, fighting this Boss over ten levels higher was indeed a bit too much.
And this time, it was only by chance that the weapon’s passive was triggered that they completed it.
There might not be such luck next time.
This weapon has been with Lin Yi for so long, and it only triggered the passive this once, showing how unlucky Lin Yi usually was.
Then Lin Yi opened the selection interface and chose: [Enter Next Floor]
However, a dialog box suddenly popped up in front of Lin Yi, causing him to pause:
"Congratulations on being the first to complete the 40th-floor challenge, triggering a hidden task: Find the Lost Treasure."
[Confirm]
Then another dialog box popped up, making Lin Yi widen his eyes:
"What the heck~"
"Would you like to accept the task and proceed to the hidden map?" (This task can only be triggered once, please choose carefully.)
[Accept] [Decline]
Lin Yi looked at the options in disbelief, not expecting to trigger a hidden task by clearing the 40th floor?
If he remembered correctly, the last time he triggered a hidden task was upon reaching the 20th floor, leading to the Floating City.
What Lin Yi didn’t expect was that there was a hidden task on the 40th floor as well.
"Find the Lost Treasure?"
Lin Yi looked helplessly at the prompt in front of him.
Besides a task title, it didn’t provide any valuable information.
Thus, Lin Yi had no way of judging the task’s content or its difficulty.
However, based on the standard of the last task, this so-called hidden task probably won’t be easy, right?
Considering Lin Yi’s gaming experience before his rebirth, tasks that require finding certain items typically take longer to complete.
The higher the task level, the harder it is to acquire the task item, and the more time it requires.
But what made Lin Yi hesitate was that tomorrow was the [Demon Race Siege]!
Lin Yi didn’t know if accepting this task would allow him time to return and continue participating in the event.
He was relying on this event to level up once more, after all.
After all, having nearly continuous Demons to fight for 12 hours is the best for leveling up.
Moreover, after the event ends, there are points you can exchange for a lot of good stuff, and Lin Yi didn’t want to miss this rare opportunity.
But on one hand, there’s the enticing [event], and on the other, the unique hidden task...
After a weigh-up, Lin Yi finally gritted his teeth and chose: [Accept].
After all, both the level and event rewards can be obtained through other means.
But this task is a once-in-a-lifetime [Hidden Task]!
Miss this village, and there won’t be this shop.
Being a unique hidden task, the reward surely won’t disappoint me.
Moreover, there are still over ten hours before the event starts, enough time to complete the hidden task and return.
When Lin Yi selected [Accept], he suddenly noticed the system seemed to have given him some equipment.
However, before Lin Yi could react, his vision went black.
When Lin Yi regained his senses, he found himself on a bright and sunny beach.
