98: Pure numbers!
The Shadow Squirrel’s talent, Treasure Plunder, was super-enhanced, increasing the number of items plundered from one to three to five.
Back in the Special Training Camp, Ye Ze would still exercise some restraint.
But now, in the secret realm contested by various nations, facing the competitors from the Free Empire, Ye Ze went completely wild!
“You plundered the Equipment – Crown of the Sea King, Deep Sea Armor, Spear of the Ocean…”
The Squirrel plundered five pieces of Equipment in a single wave.
But that wasn’t all; Ye Ze used the ‘Duplicate’ ability of the Spirit Pact Ring…
Duplicate [Treasure Plunder – Super]!
Plunder again!
However, this time, only two pieces of Equipment were plundered, because a professional could wear a maximum of seven pieces of Equipment… all of them were plundered clean.
It must be said, the Free Empire’s Equipment was indeed not bad, all Epic Four-Star or Five-Star.
As for the rest, he also plundered some consumable items, keeping them for backup.
The one-eyed man, who had long since fainted, had completely lost his use, and his Equipment was also empty. In the end, he could only be converted into Ye Ze’s experience…
The Panda stomped down, crushing the one-eyed man into a bloody mess.
“Killed a Fourth-Tier professional, gained experience +16000!”
Speaking of which, this was Ye Ze’s first time truly killing someone.
After all, death in the secret realm meant no revival… only the incomplete corpse would be teleported out, to avoid polluting the secret realm’s environment.
His mood was not complicated; the only feeling was: the experience was quite a lot!
Just a few more kills and he could level up.
Ye Ze was in a good mood and fed the seven plundered pieces of Equipment to the Panda…
After increasing his attributes by more than ten points, it just met the conditions for the ‘Equipment Destroyer’.
“Equipment Destroyer – Seven pieces of Equipment have been destroyed, obtained new Equipment: Xu Ru Lin!”
A golden light flashed, and what burst out this time was a cyan belt.
On the surface of the belt, mountains, rivers, flowers, and trees were faintly depicted…
“Xu Ru Lin (Legendary): Four-dimensional attributes +60; Special Effect – Four-dimensional attributes +10%!”
Seeing this effect, Ye Ze immediately grinned.
Compared to the attributes of other set Equipment, this ‘Xu Ru Lin’ wasn’t as flashy, perfectly embodying simplicity and brutality!
It was purely about the numbers!
Not only did it add 60 points to basic attributes, but it added to all four attributes!
Furthermore, with the special effect, the Panda’s four-dimensional attributes could increase by over 110 points at once!
Ordinary Legendary Equipment was good if it could add 110 points to a single attribute.
But ‘Xu Ru Lin’ added 110 to all four attributes, which was equivalent to a total attribute increase of over 440 points!
No tricks, just pure numbers!
With this, the Panda’s Strength broke through 730, and Agility broke through 770.
Even among professionals at level 49, one step away from Fifth-Tier, he was among the top existences!
Moreover, this Legendary Set Equipment, named ‘Military Stratagem’, had reached: 5/6, just one piece short of completion!
“Don’t be like those games in my previous life, where the last piece can never be completed…”
Ye Ze couldn’t help but complain again.
Because in his previous life, he was deeply poisoned by certain games.
Afterward, Ye Ze continued forward, searching for secret realm monsters and opponents from enemy nations.
As per usual, he first had the Squirrel release a hundred Squirrel Clones for a carpet search of the surroundings, primarily exploring into the distance.
However, not long after, he actually discovered a location where a battle was taking place!
No matter what kind of battle it was, it was worth Ye Ze going to observe.
Approaching the location, Ye Ze looked around…
It was actually a nearly twenty-meter-tall boss, the Rocky Spirit King, constantly pounding the ground under the siege of three professionals, causing violent tremors.
Ye Ze and the Panda watched from a nearby rock formation, but with the effect of [Hard to Know as Shadow], it was difficult for enemies to detect him.
“A secret realm boss actually appeared?”
The Rocky Spirit King, sharing the same origin as the stone golems but clearly stronger, was a level 50 Epic boss!
And in Ye Ze’s perception, the Rocky Spirit King seemed to possess a ethereal, almost immortal aura… quite extraordinary!
Perhaps having stayed in this secret realm for too long, even a stone seemed to have gained some immortal qi.
And seeing the three professionals on the opposite side, Ye Ze’s lips suddenly curled into a smile:
“They’re all from the Lionheart Kingdom…”
How nice!
This was… heaven!
Furthermore, looking at the noble youth leading the three, who had the ‘Nightmare Baron’ profession, he had a very strong background in the Lionheart Kingdom! His family status was extremely high!
In fact, his Equipment even included two Legendary-grade items!
Although their star ratings weren’t high, they were Legendary Equipment after all, which already indicated he was highly valued by his family.
“Hehe…”
Ye Ze suddenly chuckled.
“Thank you in advance for crippling the boss for me, and for the Equipment you’re about to deliver.”
He sent out a Shadow Squirrel Clone, stealthily approaching the three individuals attacking the boss using Shadow Evasion.
Perhaps because there were too many national teammates entering the secret realm, the three from the Lionheart Kingdom did not have many defenses, enthusiastically attacking the boss and the stone golems next to the boss.
The trio’s output was fierce, many large stone golems were split into smaller ones.
Seeing this situation, Ye Ze decisively activated ‘Exchange’!
However, the one exchanged with the Squirrel Clone was Demon Dragon Simon!
A sky-obscuring shadow enveloped the area, and the noble youth who was attacking the boss subconsciously looked back…
A huge Demon Dragon suddenly stood behind him!
“W-what the f-!”
Along with his startled cry, countless pillars of demonic flames erupted from the shattered ground!
‘Demonic Flame Burst’ sprayed pillars of demonic flames from the ground, causing widespread burning and damage effects.
“S-hit! What is this?”
“It’s a Chinese! They actually launched a sneak attack!”
He heard someone from the Lionheart Kingdom roar.
Ye Ze couldn’t help but mock, “Nonsense! Didn’t you guys start it first?”
The three from the Lionheart Empire were instantly scorched, but still tried to counterattack.
Unfortunately, this attack from the Demon Dragon not only hit the three from the Lionheart Kingdom but also instantly killed countless small stone golems…
This triggered the ‘Overlord’s’ fear effect!
After the Lionheart Kingdom noble youth let out a cry of alarm, his mind went completely blank.
The trio’s emotions were instantly covered by fear, their expressions dazed, their legs weak, and they even unconsciously dropped their weapons onto the ground!
The duration of fear effects differs for different people.
Although the fear duration for Fourth-Tier was not long, in this short time, it was enough for the Panda to act, easily heavily injuring and stunning them with a single blow each.
“Good, start plundering!”
Taking this opportunity, Ye Ze and the Squirrel both stepped forward, filled with the joy of their harvest…
Treasure Plunder! Five pieces, ten pieces, fifteen pieces…
Among them, nineteen pieces of Epic-quality level 40 Equipment, and those two Legendary Equipment, were naturally plundered as well.
Unexpectedly, they also plundered 2 lotus petals, it seemed their luck was good, encountering many secret realm monsters…
No, it should be said that Ye Ze’s luck was good.
The three individuals, having lost their value, were naturally ‘sent away’, turning into Ye Ze’s experience.
…
Meanwhile, on the other side of the secret realm.
Liu Anran, clad in a star-blue magic robe after changing her Equipment, was alone, constantly flickering between the mountain peaks.
After entering the secret realm, she was randomly assigned to an area. Without her teammates’ spatial imprints and contact, she could only keep searching.
“I wonder how Ye Ze is doing?”
Among all her teammates, she was most worried about Ye Ze.
“Ye Ze entered the secret realm first; he probably doesn’t know the current situation and could easily be caught off guard by opponents…”
“Besides, Ye Ze is a Summoner after all, and only First-Tier, so his self-preservation ability isn’t strong.”
“What if he encounters a siege by multiple Fourth-Tier professionals from the other two nations…”
Thinking of this, Liu Anran’s spatial teleportation speed increased slightly.
“It’s probably very dangerous!”
