Wonderful Item: Instance Stone

Carlisle was a man of principle.

After all, he was only a Bronze-level BOSS. Although he was immune to stun, he was not immune to taunt.

Taking advantage of Little Boar taunting the BOSS, Yang Jian unleashed a full set of skills on Carlisle.

Hunter's Mark was a debuff that had already been applied.

Arcane Shot, Viper Sting, Multi-Shot, not to mention normal attacks, all focused on being steady, accurate, and ruthless.

In five seconds, he dealt 50,000 points of damage to the BOSS... At this moment, the more than fifty weapons and pieces of equipment Yang Jian had consumed were tangibly demonstrated.

In other words, if Yang Jian were to face the Black-iron level Boar King from before, he would have fallen on the road before even completing his charge.

Having been hit so hard, the aggro was immediately transferred to Yang Jian.

If it wasn't transferred, Little Boar would have died in front of Yang Jian... The BOSS's damage was incredibly abnormal; one Shadow Bolt dealt 1200 points of damage to Little Boar.

Fortunately, this was a semi-tank pet. If it were a Little Wolf, it would have been instantly killed.

If it were Yang Jian, he would have been instantly killed too... Seeing the BOSS charging at him, Yang Jian was not flustered at all. Kiting, what's there to be afraid of?

Having fought so many monsters for so long, at least kiting was no longer an issue.

If the BOSS used any acceleration skills, he would just have his two little brothers taunt... He was just about to show off his skills.

A massive hammer phantom descended from the sky, landing on Yang Jian's head.

Hammer of Justice!

-500, Stun!

In the last second of his dazed state, Yang Jian gave Little Sea Turtle an order.

Taunt + Shell Shield.

When his consciousness returned, Yang Jian's heart was filled with lingering fear.

This stun was not what he had imagined!

Shouldn't he still have a God's perspective to observe the battlefield even if he was stunned?

If it weren't for the Eye of Heaven frantically warning him at the very last moment, his virgin death would have happened right here!

Logically, in a game, people die every day... But Yang Jian still had some higher aspirations!

With that one hit, Yang Jian completely chickened out.

He honestly stuck to ranged burst damage and didn't dare to get any closer.

His two pets died and revived, died and revived.

At this point, the value of the second pet became apparent.

When one died, the other could still tank for a while. Their health was actually much higher than ordinary monsters of the same level, and their defense was also much stronger.

Unfortunately, Yang Jian couldn't heal pets right now. Once he learned how, these monsters would be even easier to fight!

He could only use the 'Revive Pet' skill that came with Tame Beast to forcibly bring them back... 'Stand up and execute your master's commands again'...

Fighting monsters this way was a bit troublesome, but the advantage was safety.

Death and Decay.

When his health dropped below 50%, the BOSS used a new skill.

A large, purplish-black circular area appeared at his feet, extending all the way to Yang Jian.

Then, both pets began to lose health rapidly.

Area of effect attack?

[DEBUFF: Death and Decay, standing in the affected area of Death and Decay causes 10% of total health to be lost per second.]

He gasped, quickly ordered his pets to move closer to him, pulling them out of the skill's range.

Then he saw the BOSS follow him out, while the Death and Decay aura remained in its original spot.

This was only a level 10 BOSS, and it already had such a buggy area-of-effect damage that didn't even require channeling?

Mages would cry, and hunters would be heartbroken!

At 30% health, the BOSS made a final struggle.

He summoned six elite undead... What good were these guys?

The Quadruple Arrow barrage hadn't been turned off. The damage dealt to the BOSS, 50% of which splashed onto them, was already more than they could handle!

They fell one by one before even reaching Yang Jian.

Elite monsters?

He didn't see any elite monsters!

I'm just fighting the BOSS normally!

You can tell that to my insurance company... In the face of absolute power, even a Bronze-level BOSS could only fall.

"I... am finally... free!"

In the final moment before he fell, the BOSS seemed to regain a moment of clarity.

Unfortunately, he didn't have time to make any last arrangements before he closed his eyes forever.

Although he was only a Level 10 BOSS, he was corrupted by the abyss, and his health was an astonishing 500,000!

That was ten times the health of the Boar King.

Coupled with these skills, only Yang Jian, this cheater, could handle him.

If an ordinary team came, it would wipe them out and make them doubt life.

Activated skill: Specified Acquisition.

The BOSS's loot panel unfolded before Yang Jian.

From top to bottom, from worst to best!

He roughly scanned the items listed.

After all, it was a Bronze-level BOSS, and it had some abyssal properties.

Even the junk on him was at least blue-quality.

Scrolling down a bit, besides skill books, there were all sorts of purple items.

Weapons, trinkets, rings, and armor—everything imaginable.

Most of the skill books were for Paladins, so Yang Jian didn't bother looking at them.

He continued to scroll further, as according to the Kobold Lord's experience, the good stuff was always at the end.

However, on the very last page, he didn't see a guild token!

It seems this item isn't dropped by all BOSSes.

But what's this stone at the bottom of the box? What the hell is this?

The drop rate is only one in ten thousand? Even worse than the one in a thousand guild token?

[Dungeon Stone (Oddity)]

[Transforms the BOSS's location into a dungeon and stores it in the Dungeon Stone, allowing a guild dungeon to be generated in the guild's stronghold!]

This... I admit I was hasty just now. I shouldn't have cursed you. I am guilty!

Selected [Dungeon Stone (Oddity)].

Then, feeling a shift in the world, Yang Jian was thrown onto the hillside of West Mountain, where there was only a graveyard with about two to three hundred graves.

At the largest grave in the center, a name was written on a tombstone.

Levan Carlisle.

Yang Jian surveyed his surroundings.

This is what a cemetery should look like... What was that place just now?

Wait, where's my BOSS loot? They didn't just steal it from me, did they?

He quickly returned to the previous location. Fortunately, several light orbs lay quietly on the ground.

He picked them up one by one.

Although there was a purple leather shoulder piece, the equipment level required was ten!

Yang Jian couldn't equip it yet... The other few materials were quite good, but the problem was he couldn't use them for now!

One could say, he fought this BOSS for nothing... Holding the Dungeon Stone in his hand, he muttered sarcastic remarks!

He checked the time; it was already five in the afternoon in game time.

Then he looked at the guild list.

The guild had already grown to 174 members. The studio's employees, excluding the Vice Guild Leader and officers, were all grouped into a new category: Elite Squad.

Regardless of whether they were elites or not, he made sure their status was maximized first.

And most of the people in the Elite Squad had already gone offline.

Except for a few newcomers, who were assigned to procure items in the game!

He returned to the city, first to the general store to turn in the quest.

When Yang Jian handed the [Carlisle's Sword (Quest Item)] to Kassan, her expression first froze.

Then tears welled up in her eyes.

"From the moment our village merged with other villages to become a Newbie Village, I knew this day would come sooner or later..."

Yang Jian: ...?

Is it my fault?

However, he also understood why everyone seemed dispirited on the first day.

"Why didn't you refuse?"

"Refuse?"

Kassan seemed to remember something particularly amusing.

"When we were in the Ska Kingdom back then, we couldn't even refuse many of Baron Kasimor's unreasonable decrees! And now we can refuse a god?"

"He spoke to us nicely, doesn't that mean he's easy to talk to..."

Kassan composed herself.

"Enough talk. This is a ring that changed Carlisle's life... When salvation descended upon the Ska Kingdom, his talent was blue-tier. If he had focused on leveling, he could have at least become a small faction's group leader... Unfortunately, during an adventure, he obtained this ring, and it changed his life forever!"

Saying that, Kassan handed the ring to Yang Jian as a quest reward.

Then she cautioned, "Remember, let nature take its course. Don't force yourself to try and upgrade it..."

[malorne's oath of loyalty (White)]

[Finger: Ring]

[All Attributes +1]

[Skill: Travel Form (Ground)]

[Note: A demigod artifact made from the shed antler of the Wild God Malorne, gifted to his second son, then lost and damaged.]

[Repair Requirements: ...]

[Dropped upon death, soul-bound upon advancement, cannot be dropped, until death do us part.]

Alright, the ring slot is empty anyway, so I'll wear it for now!

He tried out Travel Form. In front of Kassan, Yang Jian transformed into a small yellow leopard!

Suddenly changing forms, Yang Jian couldn't even walk properly, wobbling a few times before falling to the ground.

He quickly changed back... Seeing Yang Jian's comical display, Kassan first chuckled, then her face turned pale.

"Excuse me, I'm feeling a bit unwell. I'll be leaving now!"

After Kassan opened the door behind the counter and disappeared, another Kassan appeared at the cash register.

"Hello, Warrior, what would you like to purchase?"

Yang Jian had completely lost the desire to communicate and turned to walk out of the store.

He went offline twice to deal with the items he had.

Finally, he had time to sit in his boss's chair.
