Chapter 332: Chapter 313: Clearing Level 40
In a high-end apartment somewhere in reality, Qiao Dingwu sat staring at his phone screen with a complex expression, utterly lost.
On the phone’s display, a contact named "Jing" was currently shown.
Qiao Dingwu’s thumb kept swiping back and forth over the "call" icon, yet he couldn’t muster the courage to press it.
Every time he prepared to press it, he would pull back at the last moment.
After several such hesitations, Qiao Dingwu’s face was filled with a bitter smile and helplessness:
"Forget it."
Qiao Dingwu tossed the phone onto the sofa and was about to get up to exercise when the phone suddenly rang.
Having just stood up, Qiao Dingwu bent down at lightning speed to grab the phone.
But when he saw the caller ID, the excitement on his face quickly turned to deep disappointment.
Seeing it was an unfamiliar number, Qiao Dingwu, who was about to hang up, ended up answering it on a whim.
Then, a projection of an unfamiliar man appeared on the phone and he began,
"Hello, Mr. Qiao Dingwu."
As soon as the man finished speaking, he broke into a mocking smile and said:
"Or should I call you Lord?"
Seeing this unfamiliar man, Qiao Dingwu looked at him with impatience and said:
"Who are you? I don’t seem to know you."
The other replied:
"Who I am isn’t important. What’s important is what I want to discuss with you now."
"Are you interested in listening?"
At this point, Qiao Dingwu glanced at the large clock on the wall, showing a characteristic smile:
"You have two minutes. Go ahead."
Actually, those familiar with Qiao Dingwu knew that when he showed this smile, it meant he was already getting impatient.
However, the other person didn’t know this, and perhaps they didn’t care.
The man continued directly:
"Two minutes is enough, thank you for giving me this precious time."
"I’m calling about one thing, I heard that you own 70% of the guild Holy Hall."
"Someone is interested in the development potential of your guild now."
"You can name a price, how much would make you willing to transfer your shares?"
Upon hearing this, Qiao Dingwu suddenly laughed:
"You want to buy my guild?"
The man on the other side appeared very serious as he replied:
"Of course."
"I came with sincerity this time, if the price is reasonable, I can arrange someone to coordinate with you immediately, ensuring you won’t lose out."
"Also, after the acquisition, the guild’s personnel structure won’t change much, you’ll still be the president, what do you think?"
"7 billion!"
As soon as Qiao Dingwu said it, the man clearly hesitated for a moment.
But to Qiao Dingwu’s surprise, the other only hesitated for a moment before gritting his teeth and agreeing:
"No problem"
"Doo doo doo~"
However, before the other person could finish speaking, Qiao Dingwu had already decisively hung up, showing disdain:
"Tch, boring."
Regardless of whether the other was sincere about acquiring his guild, in fact, Qiao Dingwu never intended to let go of the guild from the start.
All that talk just now was offhand, but he didn’t expect the other would agree.
Yet from founding this guild to building its reputation, he would receive calls like this almost every few days.
So after hanging up, Qiao Dingwu didn’t take the matter to heart.
However, what Qiao Dingwu didn’t know was that the same scenario was playing out simultaneously in different locations.
It was unknown whether others would make the same choice as Qiao Dingwu.
...
In a dense thicket, a flame suddenly descended from the sky:
With a "boom!", it blasted a deep pit into the ground covered with dry branches and leaves.
The Jade Qilin came to a screeching halt beside the pit:
"Oh my."
Immediately, without a moment to think, the Jade Qilin sprinted in the opposite direction.
Just as the Jade Qilin moved away, an Ice Arrow instantly struck where it had been standing, freezing the surrounding area in a layer of frost, emitting cold air.
At this time, roars sounded from above:
"Roar! Roar~"
Three grotesque heads kept spewing flames, Ice Arrows, and Wind Blades outside.
In the sky, the Elf Dragon roared as it unleashed mighty Dragon Flames onto the Three-headed Serpent:
"Boom!"
"-2920"
Lin Yi, positioned behind the Three-headed Serpent, continuously released skills:
"Arcane Missile"
"-3410"
"Arcane Explosion"
"-2698"
"Arcane Nova"
"-2100"
"-1457"
"-985"
The Three-headed Serpent, in pain, angrily raised its tail and directly slapped it down towards Lin Yi’s position.
At this moment, a flash of white appeared in front of Lin Yi:
"Roar!"
The tail of the Three-headed Serpent was unexpectedly grabbed by the Golden Behemoth, with a huge damage number rising from the Golden Behemoth’s head:
"-2641"
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Lin Yi darted out:
Switch Weapon
Activate:
"Arcane Mysterious Step"
With the Purple Thunder in hand, Lin Yi leaped up, directly stabbing towards the junction of the Three-headed Serpent’s body:
"Arcane Impact!"
"Pff"
"-5412" Critical Strike/Weak Point
System: Triggered passive paralysis effect, target’s actions are restricted, lasting 1 second.
The Three-headed Serpent roared and stood still, unable to move, giving the Jade Qilin a chance to catch its breath, its face twisted in a snarl as it lunged for the flame-spewing serpent head within the Three-headed Serpent, causing a spray of blood:
"Pff"
"-4215"
Meanwhile, Lin Yi seized the opportunity to continuously swing the Purple Thunder in his hand, slashing and hacking at the serpent’s back with Basic Attacks:
"-1242+124 (Magic Damage)"
"-2564+256" Critical Strike
"-1023+102"
Just as the Three-headed Serpent was about to recover, it unexpectedly triggered the paralysis passive of the weapon:
System: Weapon passive triggered, target is paralyzed for 1.5 seconds.
Lin Yi wouldn’t miss the chance to strike while it’s weak!
After causing a large amount of damage, unable to trigger the passive again, Lin Yi had to retreat quickly before the Three-headed Serpent recovered.
After more than an hour of fierce battle, the health of the Three-headed Serpent was finally beaten down to 30%, triggering berserk mode.
Last time, it was around this point when the berserk Three-headed Serpent wiped them out.
Switch Weapon
Lin Yi switched to the Radiant Treasure Pearl, quickly distancing himself from the berserk Three-headed Serpent, while also reminding:
"Ian, be careful, if it doesn’t work, just fall back."
The Jade Qilin is a summoned creature, if it dies, it’s truly dead, unable to resurrect.
Lin Yi didn’t want to lose the Jade Qilin just to defeat a BOSS.
However, the Jade Qilin dismissed the warning:
"Even though I still can’t kill it, it won’t be that easy for it to kill me either."
"Roar~~"
The three ferocious snake heads suddenly roared in unison, and in berserk mode, its attack speed almost doubled.
The Jade Qilin spat out a glaring blade from its mouth, striking fiercely upon the Three-headed body:
"Divine Light Blade"
"Pff"
"-3011"
The Three-headed Serpent roared, twisting its body frantically as it relentlessly unleashed magic towards the Jade Qilin.
Under the fast-paced magic, the Jade Qilin was in danger everywhere.
Although Lin Yi was worried, he knew he had to quickly deal with this creature in front of him.
The Elf Dragon roared continuously, dropping giant Dragon Flames from the air, while Lin Yi simultaneously continued to cast spells and constantly change his position.
Despite being extremely cautious, Lin Yi was repeatedly hit by the Three-headed Serpent, triggering the passives of the equipment [Heart of Compassion of Fenam] and [Diona’s Legendary Chain].
Just because the speed of the berserk Level-48 BOSS was too terrifying, it was something Lin Yi at this equipment level just couldn’t handle.
Unfortunately, the [One-Eyed Badge] passive couldn’t be triggered in the Endless Tower, so summoning the Cyclops was impossible, otherwise, it would have been much easier.
After resurrecting once more in an instant, Lin Yi’s survival means were exhausted, and the BOSS still had 14% health...
Just when Lin Yi thought he would fail the mission again, suddenly, the once lively Three-headed Serpent let out a mournful cry and collapsed instantly:
"Boom!"
The three ferocious snake heads lay in front of the Jade Qilin, frightening it into shivers:
"What happened? How did it die?"
At this moment, Lin Yi realized that the Radiant Treasure Pearl’s passive (10% chance to instantly kill targets with less than 15% health) had just been triggered.
This unexpected surprise brought Lin Yi a burst of joy:
"Damn, lucky strike!"
