Chapter 181 The Mysterious Merchant Has Finally Arrived!
Chapter 181 The Mysterious Merchant Has Finally Arrived!
At the entrance of the Ten Thousand Fox Cave, Manqu was stunned for a moment when he saw the bounty appear, and then burst into wild laughter.
This guy must have lost his mind from being scolded so much!
"Find a world boss for 1 gold coin? Are you kidding me?"
"They've really been bewitched by the fox!"
The surrounding players were also in an uproar.
But out of respect for Chen You's past achievements, they subconsciously clicked on the bounty details.
Seeing that the reactions of the players around him were not quite right, Manqu frowned and clicked in as well.
The next second, his eyes widened involuntarily, as if he had seen something incomprehensible.
The order of the Five Elements, with mutual generation as the starting point.
Metal generates water, water generates wood, wood generates fire, fire generates earth, and earth generates metal.
Entering the corresponding gate will allow you to break through the barrier of the Ten Thousand Fox Cave.
May you all achieve immediate success!
These few lines of text were more impactful than any language he had ever encountered in his life.
He...he published the strategy guide?
That core mechanism that requires constant trial and error and summarization, he just... made it public like that?
Do not!
wrong!
This is not just about making it public!
He paid to make it public!
To ensure everyone could see this message, he specifically posted a world bounty of 1 gold coin!
crazy!
This guy is absolutely insane!
Manqu's brain was completely burned out.
He couldn't understand it.
He couldn't understand the logic behind this behavior at all.
Knowledge and information are the most valuable assets in the Source Realm, and opportunities to widen class gaps.
Mastering an exclusive strategy for a core dungeon is of paramount importance.
But this person threw it all at everyone in a way that essentially cost them money.
Why?
What's the point?
Manqu suddenly looked up at the instigator.
Chen You's face was expressionless, showing neither smugness nor the pleasure of revenge.
It was as calm as a still lake.
He turned around and stepped into the blood-red portal that exuded a violent aura.
Throughout the entire process, he didn't even glance at Manqu.
ignore.
It is a complete and utter disregard, both on a physical and spiritual level.
"puff--"
An indescribable sense of humiliation and defeat surged to the top of his head. Manqu felt a sweet taste in his throat, his vision went black, and he almost spat out a mouthful of blood.
He was so meticulous in his calculations that he couldn't even get the other party to look at him properly!
……
The City of Eternal Night.
In the territory of the Elven Gods, the teleportation array at the guild headquarters flashed, and a tall, elegant figure appeared.
Moon Arrow has just been released.
She had already logged off to rest, but an urgent call from her guild members forced her to return to the game immediately.
The mysterious merchant has been found!
However, as soon as she stood firm, a series of world announcements brought a look of astonishment to her beautiful face.
First, she activated the destruction mode of the [Ten Thousand Fox Cave], which made her sigh – it was really not surprising at all.
Then came another inexplicable bounty.
When she clicked on the bounty details and saw the description of the five elements' mutual generation, she couldn't help but take a deep breath.
"What a Chen You..."
She murmured to herself, with a hint of heartfelt admiration.
"His strength is unfathomable, his actions are unpredictable, yet he possesses such a broad mind..."
She had never even considered making the core strategy public.
But Chen You did just that, doing it with nonchalance.
"This man is too complex; I can't see through him..."
Moon Arrow shook his head, temporarily suppressing his chaotic thoughts.
Right now, the more important thing is that mysterious businessman.
She sent two words directly in the guild channel.
"Location."
Soon, a guild member replied to her message.
"President! You're online!"
"The target is in Qirui City! President, please come quickly!"
"This guy was acting all mysterious. When I asked him what he was selling, he told me something about 'the threads of fate leading those destined to meet here.'"
"I feel like there's something wrong with his head..."
"Shut up." Moon Arrow rubbed his temples.
"Your task is to keep an eye on him and not let him get away. If you lose him, your entire bonus for this month will be deducted."
"Huh? No way, President! I promise, even if he turns to ashes, I'll still recognize the color of his underwear!"
Moon Arrow closed the chat with a blank expression.
The next second, she left the territory and headed towards Qirui City.
She had to go and check it herself; she couldn't afford any mistakes.
……
Within minutes, Chen You arrived before the Queen of Ten Thousand Foxes once again.
Although it's a destruction mode, it doesn't seem like there's much of a change.
We still have to wait for the Queen of Ten Thousand Foxes to perform first.
The Queen of Ten Thousand Foxes had alluring eyes and a voice that could penetrate to the very bone.
"Brave adventurer, do you know why I have stood here alone for a thousand years..."
She was about to unfold that tragic story that could captivate countless players, but as soon as her health bar appeared, she was met with neither pity nor desire.
Instead, it was a devastating bolt of lightning that struck without warning.
"boom--!!!"
Divine Firmament Heavenly Thunder Righteous Law!
There were no screams, no struggles, and even the carefully crafted sorrowful expression on the Queen's face didn't have time to fully unfold.
Along with the magnificent throne behind her and the pink miasma surrounding her, they all evaporated and vanished in the raging lightning.
Clean and neat.
[Ding! You have defeated the Elite Lord - Queen of Ten Thousand Foxes!]
[Ding! You have successfully cleared the [Ten Thousand Fox Cave] (Destruction Mode), gaining 300000 experience points!]
Congratulations! You have reached level 21!
You have obtained [Queen's Echo] x 1!
You have obtained [The Queen's Exquisite Long Dress] x 1!
……
A series of system notifications flashed across the screen.
Chen You didn't even look at the spoils of war; he directly opened his attribute panel.
[Character: Chen You]
[Occupation: Immortal Cultivator]
[Level: 21 (Qi Refining Level 5)]
……
The experience bar has increased significantly, and I'm about a third away from level 22.
However, Chen You's brows furrowed involuntarily.
The main body did reach level 21, but the clone's level remained at level 20.
Attributes and skills are all fixed data at the moment of summoning.
"Tsk."
Chen You let out a slight, annoyed click of his tongue.
In other words, the attributes of the clone will not be dynamically adjusted as the original body improves.
This means that even if the main body were to immediately break through to the sixth level of Qi Refining, the clone would still only have the strength of the fifth level of Qi Refining.
To upgrade, you must wait for the skill cooldown to end, remove the old one, and then summon a new one.
Although it's not a major problem, there is a period of power vacuum in between.
"This is so troublesome..."
He mentally muttered a complaint.
His original plan was to send his clone to farm the open dungeon thousands of miles away once he reached the sixth level of Qi Refining.
It seems that we either have to send the clone with the fifth level of Qi Refining, or wait for the cooldown to end and summon it again.
Just as he was feeling a little annoyed, a notification sound rang in his ear.
Someone sent a message; I knew who it was without even looking.
Chen You clicked on it.
【Moon Arrow】: Chairman Chen, the mysterious merchant, I've found him.
