“Ding~ Congratulations on triggering [Necromantic Harvest] while killing the [Life-taking Ghost]. Would you like to harvest the Life-taking Ghost as a pet?”
It wasn’t that this ghost was particularly powerful.
But by adding this Common Grade ghost, Zhang Yue could finally upgrade to his tenth Rare Grade pet!
The Dark Skeleton King, whose presence had been dwindling and was on the verge of being forgotten, was finally about to receive an upgrade!
Thus, using ten Rare Grade pets as fodder, he allowed the Skeleton King to devour them.
“Ding~ Congratulations, your pet [Dark Skeleton King] (Rare Grade) has upgraded to [Hell Skeleton King] (Epic Grade). Its special effect levels have been enhanced, and it has learned a new special effect [Rebirth]!”
Looking at the newly evolved Hell Skeleton King, now taller and with a more imposing aura, Zhang Yue exclaimed, “You’ve got your presence back, Skull Bro!”
With the quality upgrade, the Skeleton King’s Five Attributes growth also received a significant boost.
As a warrior-type pet, the Hell Skeleton King pursued comprehensive development in all aspects.
[Special Effect 1: Divine Might (lv4), increases Hell Skeleton King’s attack power by 50% and defense by 40%]
[Special Effect 2: Physique (lv4), increases Hell Skeleton King’s Health Points by 80%]
[Special Effect 3: Dominant Body (lv4), increases Hell Skeleton King’s armor penetration resistance and penetration resistance by 60%]
[Special Effect 4: Rebirth (lv4), revives Hell Skeleton King immediately upon death with a 50% increase in all attributes for 60 seconds, can only be triggered once every 12 hours]
With defense and health far exceeding those of top-tier knights of the same level, the Hell Skeleton King’s defensive capabilities had reached an astonishing level!
Plus, with the [Rebirth] effect, it could practically be called an indestructible cockroach!
Currently, the Skeleton King was still wearing a level 35, 4-star Dark Set.
Once it reached level 55 and was equipped with a 6-star Demon Set, its strength could increase by at least 50% compared to now!
Or… maybe it wouldn’t take that long?
With the full sponsorship of Chen’s Army, Zhang Yue’s net worth had now exceeded thirty million (with another twenty million worth of goods unsold in the Marketplace, his actual net worth was fifty million).
With so much money, why not just buy whatever he needed like the wealthy do?
Without hesitation, Zhang Yue continued ghost hunting while entering the Otherworld Marketplace.
He ordered a batch of level 50, 6-star warrior equipment and extravagantly spent ten thousand dollars on [Ugly Group Courier] to have it delivered to his door.
There were also finished gold-grade equipment, but they were expensive, and for Zhang Yue, who had unlimited Psionic Energy, it wasn’t necessary.
A set of 6-star white attribute mixed equipment only cost Zhang Yue fifty thousand dollars!
Zhang Yue continued ghost hunting.
The courier, worth every penny of the ten thousand dollars spent, arrived in just five minutes, with a level 200 Assassin expert using an SSS-grade Extreme Shadow to deliver the equipment to Zhang Yue: “Sir! Your delivery has arrived, please remember to give a five-star rating!”
Spending 3,100 million Psionic Energy, he refined the seven pieces of equipment to gold in one click.
Then he equipped the Skeleton King.
Instantly, the Hell Skeleton King’s strength received another massive boost!
Even the level 52 Life-taking Ghost could barely scratch the Skeleton King with 4500+ defense and health!
Zhang Yue finally realized: having money truly brings happiness!
Meanwhile, after dealing with the current batch of ghosts, Zhang Yue successfully collected 100 key fragments and used them to synthesize a complete key!
He then arrived at the haunted dormitory and used the key to open a door.
Roar…
With a chilling roar, a disheveled female ghost in red burst out from the dark room!
The ID above her head made Zhang Yue excited—
lv52 Red-dressed Fierce Ghost (Soul Purity Level 5, Magic Type Lord Monster)!
Another level 5 purity ghost, and a Lord Monster at that!
It seemed like a big loot was coming!
Excited, Zhang Yue briefly checked the opponent’s stats.
5500 attack power, 3600 defense, 540,000 health.
“Not bad, should extend your life by 5 seconds.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Yue raised his staff and, with the help of three pets, launched a focused attack on the Red-dressed Fierce Ghost!
Boom boom boom boom!
A barrage of S-rank skills hit the Red-dressed Fierce Ghost, causing streaks of blood-red damage—
-!
-!
-!
-(Hell Skeleton King)!
-(Apocalyptic Black Dragon)!
-Critical Hit (Shadow Predator)…
In an instant, the Red-dressed Fierce Ghost lost half of its health.
After the Skeleton King took a heavy hit, Zhang Yue launched a second round of focused attacks.
“Ding~ Congratulations on killing the level 52 Lord Monster [Red-dressed Fierce Ghost] (Soul Purity Level 5), Experience Points +500,000…”
The battle ended in just three seconds.
“Overestimated you by two seconds.”
A Lord Monster was still a big deal.
This time, Zhang Yue got two pieces of Demon Set equipment!
But, whether it was luck or misfortune, one piece was for the warrior profession, and the other was Demon Boots…
Collecting a complete Demon Set wouldn’t be easy, especially since Zhang Yue wasn’t reaching level 55 anytime soon.
So Zhang Yue wasn’t in a hurry.
If he really reached level 55 and still hadn’t collected the set, he could always buy the missing pieces at the Marketplace!
After the Skeleton King’s boost, Zhang Yue increased his monster farming from twenty to thirty at a time.
The Skeleton King lured and tanked the monsters.
Zhang Yue and the Apocalyptic Black Dragon dealt damage, while the Shadow Predator finished them off.
Perfect coordination, farming over thirty ghosts at a time, with no pressure!
Zhang Yue’s impressive monster farming efficiency left the veteran Professionals who came later to farm Demon Sets for money in awe!
As experience flowed in waves, in just an hour, Zhang Yue killed 500 Life-taking Ghosts, collected 5 keys, opened five doors, released five Lord-level fierce ghosts, and killed them.
The [Ghost Slaying] mission was complete.
Zhang Yue returned to the Safe Zone in Capital City, found Ling Po, and submitted the mission.
“Ding~ Congratulations on completing the mission [Ghost Slaying], rewards: Experience Points +5,000,000, Gold Coins +80, Psionic Energy +30 billion, Equipment [Weeping Blood Ring]!”
Wow!
Golden light showered over Zhang Yue’s head.
“Ding~ Congratulations on reaching level 53…”
Next, Zhang Yue accepted another mission and returned to the wild to continue ghost hunting.
In the Eighth World, the various level 51-55 ghosts seemed fierce.
But when they encountered Zhang Yue, they were beaten like grandsons!
Zhang Yue’s strength completely swept through the entire Eighth World.
His only hope now was that the Demon Set could unlock the Night of the Ghostly Wedding dungeon at level 55, and that the dungeon would be challenging and worth the effort!
After a day of farming in the Eighth World, completing several missions, Zhang Yue leveled up to 54 at a speed that even veteran Professionals found unbelievable.
During this time, Zhang Yue also returned to the Sixth World to deal with some troublesome members of Chen’s Army.
They tried to take advantage of the chaos, sneaking online to develop stealthily while Zhang Yue was distracted.
Little did they know, Zhang Yue had already hired private detectives from Tianjing, stationed in every corner of the Sixth World, closely monitoring Chen’s Army’s movements!
After being targeted for a day, Chen’s Army finally couldn’t sit still.
“Damn! This Zero is really after us Chen’s Army!”
“I heard he’s already tackling the Eighth World, planning to stay in Tianjing permanently!”
“What should we do? Are we supposed to hide offline forever?”
“But I heard the Radiant people went online today, and he didn’t target them. Why is he only targeting us Chen’s Army?”
“Apparently, Radiant paid to resolve the issue, contributing fifty million to Zero, and three Guild Leaders personally apologized…”
Upon hearing this, Chen Jun sneered, “Those spineless bastards from Radiant!”
“I, Chen Jun, would rather die, jump from a thirty-story building, than bow to Zero!”
That evening, Zhang Yue received an unknown text message: “Big brother, I was wrong, okay? I’m begging you, spare our Chen family! I’ll give you the Heart of the Demon!”
