As the Grim Reaper, Tila, a Level 40 6-star BOSS, his formidable strength was truly awe-inspiring!
However, his presence was ultimately limited in time.
Just enough to deal with a batch of demons, and then the Grim Reaper retreated.
The stage was once again handed over to Zhang Yue.
Zhang Yue’s own explosive power was undeniable; those demons were like walking experience points in front of him.
The Epic Grade Twelve-Winged Apocalyptic Black Dragon, after mastering the ability [Body of Apocalypse], gained a 40% attack speed and 50% normal attack damage bonus, plus an additional 40% attack speed bonus from the Archer’s Dark Set.
With an 80% attack speed boost, the Apocalyptic Black Dragon turned into a turret, spewing energy cannons from its mouth, launching indiscriminate attacks on the demons on the ground!
Gamers know that an archer’s main output ultimately comes from normal attacks.
And this Body of Apocalypse greatly enhanced the Apocalyptic Black Dragon’s normal attack strength, making each of its normal attacks deal explosive damage of five to six thousand points!
One demon after another was blasted to death by the Apocalyptic Black Dragon.
As for the Skeleton King.
Since Zhang Yue had allocated all resources to the Black Dragon, its combat power had fallen behind significantly.
However, it was still quite useful for drawing aggro and acting as a decoy.
Liu Yao and Li Xiaoyao obediently followed Zhang Yue, picking up loot.
At first, it was a bit dull, but as they picked up more and more, they became increasingly excited!
“Holy crap! Dark Set!”
“Holy crap! Level 5 materials!”
“Holy crap! So many copper coins! This is awesome!”
Liu Yao’s triple exclamations made the Infinity Sword Saint, who was fighting demons on the other side, itch with envy.
“Picking up loot looks pretty fun…”
“Damn it! I’ve been fighting for so long and only killed a few demons. Forget it, I’m going to pick up loot too!”
Thus, the Infinity Sword Saint joined Liu Yao and the others…
“Bro, you pick over there, leave some for me here!”
“The monsters over there respawn so fast, why don’t you go? You sly old man!”
“……”
Of course, it wasn’t a case of finders keepers.
The loot Liu Yao and the others picked up had to be handed over in the end.
After all, it was all dropped by Zhang Yue.
However, Zhang Yue offered them a condition they couldn’t refuse: they could keep 10% of what they picked up!
Don’t underestimate that 10%.
With Zhang Yue’s rapid monster farming speed, 10% was a huge gain!
Thus, everyone became Zhang Yue’s laborers.
Liu Yao, Li Xiaoyao, and the Infinity Sword Saint were responsible for picking up loot.
Infinity Phantom, Wu Haotian, and Lin Tian were responsible for drawing aggro.
Zhang Yue was responsible for the kills.
By the end of the day, the experience points from killing monsters alone had raised the Apocalyptic Black Dragon’s level from 35 to 38!
Additionally.
They gathered over a thousand Level 5 materials like forging items, herbs, and food ingredients!
Countless copper coins.
Through [Necromantic Harvest], Zhang Yue obtained over 50 Common Grade demon pets and fused them into 5 Elite Grade demons.
Moreover, they collected over fifty pieces of the Dark Set! Among them, they had already assembled a set for a Mage and a set for an Assassin.
The purpose of collecting the Dark Set was to strengthen the members of the Temple of Destiny.
Zhang Yue immediately put these two sets on the market, and even in their all-white refined state, they were worth tens of thousands per set of Level 35 4-star Dark Set, which he gave to Lin Tian, the Thunder Mage, and Ouyang Ling’er, the Assassin.
This scene made everyone else envious.
“Tens of thousands per set of Dark Set, just given away like that?” Liu Yao exclaimed, “Holy crap! My big brother is so generous!”
“The Temple of Destiny’s member benefits are so good!” The Infinity Sword Saint was itching with envy, “It’s making me want to join their guild too…”
Of course, what they didn’t know was that Zhang Yue’s benefits for guild members didn’t stop there.
Previously, through the Demon Contract, Zhang Yue had allocated 1 billion psionic energy to Lin Tian and the others.
Psionic energy was their greatest benefit!
Next, they just needed to return to the Safe Zone to appraise the equipment and refine it with psionic energy, and Lin Tian and Ouyang Ling’er would have a full gold Dark Set!
It was already 8 PM.
With the day’s activities ending and plans to farm another day tomorrow to gather Dark Sets for Wu Haotian and Ning Tiantian, Zhang Yue and the others left Hell City.
Due to the 30% experience and fivefold psionic energy bonus in Hell City.
It was clear that Tian Xin’er and Su Jinyan had also had a good harvest today, and they seemed to be in high spirits.
On their way out of the city, Tian Xin’er cheerfully suggested, “Is everyone in Coastal City? How about we meet up offline and I treat everyone to dinner at the Sea Restaurant?”
Sea Restaurant!
Hearing this name, Wu Haotian’s body shook.
Because he remembered: this was the place he had taken Su Jinyan to when he was pursuing her.
He could never forget that meal which cost him 38,000, leaving him bankrupt!
Being a native of Coastal City, Ouyang Ling’er was excited, “Wow! The Sea Restaurant is the most upscale restaurant in Coastal City! I heard the average cost per person there is over five figures, only the very wealthy can afford to eat there!”
“Sister Xin’er, are you really treating us to dinner there?”
Liu Yao immediately raised his hand, “I agree! No objections! I can take a cab myself.”
Wu Haotian also smiled, “The food there is indeed good, thank you, Miss Tian, for the treat!”
Tian Xin’er smiled, “No problem, it’s a small matter!”
Then she looked at Zhang Yue and said, “Zhang Yue, you should come too!”
Unexpectedly, Zhang Yue replied, “You guys go ahead, I won’t be joining.”
He remembered that the Sea Restaurant was quite far from where he currently lived, and he didn’t feel like making the trip.
However, Tian Xin’er’s main purpose for the dinner was to invite Zhang Yue!
Moreover, she planned to give Zhang Yue a surprise at the Sea Restaurant tonight.
She had been secretly planning this surprise since the afternoon…
If Zhang Yue didn’t come, the carefully planned surprise would be ruined.
So, Tian Xin’er quickly said, “Zhang Yue, you should come too! Let’s all have some fun together!”
“Yeah, Guild Leader, you should come! Why not?”
“Zhang Yue, let’s take a cab together!”
Under the persuasion of Ouyang Ling’er and Ning Tiantian, Zhang Yue finally agreed, “Alright, I’ll come too.”
Tian Xin’er was overjoyed, “Great! See you all at the Sea Restaurant tonight!”
Back in the Safe Zone, everyone went offline.
Coastal City, Xingxiu Hotel.
After logging off, Tian Xin’er immediately dragged Su Jinyan to a nearby mall to pick out clothes.
Su Jinyan was puzzled, “Why are we buying clothes now? Aren’t we going to the Sea Restaurant for dinner?”
“Tonight is my first offline meeting with Zhang Yue! Of course, I have to dress nicely!” Tian Xin’er tried on outfit after outfit, asking for Su Jinyan’s opinion.
Tian Xin’er had a great figure and was beautiful, so she looked good in anything.
Finally, with Su Jinyan’s suggestion, Tian Xin’er put on a purple starry dress.
This dress, which exuded nobility and elegance, looked absolutely stunning on the tall and slender Tian Xin’er!
Even Su Jinyan, who was a beauty herself, was a bit moved.
“Do I look good? Su Su, do you think Zhang Yue will like me in this?” Tian Xin’er twirled her dress and asked Su Jinyan with a smile.
Su Jinyan nodded, “You look great!”
At this moment, Tian Xin’er said to Su Jinyan, “Su Su, you should pick out an outfit too!”
“I don’t need to.” Su Jinyan replied, “You’re the main character tonight.”
Tian Xin’er didn’t know that Su Jinyan also liked Zhang Yue, nor could she see the disappointment in Su Jinyan’s heart.
After paying, she held Su Jinyan’s hand and happily left the clothing store.
“Let’s go, Su Su, to the Sea Restaurant!”
Meanwhile, on the other side.
Coastal City, Academician’s Residence.
Zhang Yue, dressed in a simple white T-shirt and sweatpants, and Ning Tiantian, in a pink dress exuding a youthful vibe, had just opened the door when they ran into Lin Tian and Wu Haotian coming up the stairs to find them.
Wu Haotian looked Zhang Yue up and down, surprised, “Whoa! Boss, you’re wearing that?”
“What’s wrong?”
“Tonight, we’re having dinner with two beauties, Tian Xin’er and Su Jinyan!”
Zhang Yue glanced at the suit-clad Wu Haotian, “It’s fine, you look sharp, don’t worry about me.”
Ning Tiantian giggled, “Zhang Yue looks better than you even in casual clothes!”
Wu Haotian ran his hand through his hair, feeling smug, “Tonight, I’ll show you who’s the most handsome guy in Coastal City!”
Just as they were about to leave.
Zhang Yue suddenly received a Feixin message from Infinity Phantom, who had added him as a friend while farming monsters together at the Gate of Hell.
“Brother, this is my first time asking for help… Can you save our Infinity Guild?”
“If you don’t come, we’re done for!”
