“Ding~ You and your teammate have jointly killed an lv10 Berserk Boar. Experience Points +32 (Team Bonus 80%), Psionic Energy + (80%)!”
Finally, Zhang Yue could gain normal experience and psionic energy from killing level 10 monsters!
Next, Zhang Yue summoned his pet, the Silver Armored Scorpion.
He let the Silver Armored Scorpion tank the damage.
With explosive damage output, Zhang Yue and Forty Thousand swept through the entire Rage Forest!
In just over an hour, they had killed a thousand boars!
With the abundant experience points, Forty Thousand’s level skyrocketed to level 10!
Zhang Yue’s Silver Armored Scorpion also leveled up from 8 to 10.
After completing the world task, Forty Thousand opened the World BOSS Domain Passage.
The two of them stepped into the passage simultaneously, entering the Nightmare Abyss.
Roar!
The massive figure of the First World Gatekeeper BOSS, the lv10 Berserk Boar King, appeared once again in Zhang Yue’s sight.
Previously, in hundreds of attempts, they always reached the final step but failed at the last moment.
As a result, Forty Thousand had developed a psychological shadow regarding the Boar King.
At this moment, Zhang Yue said, “Don’t move yet. Let me weaken it, and you deliver the final blow.”
With that, Zhang Yue and his Silver Armored Scorpion launched an attack on the Boar King!
In the second battle with the Boar King, Zhang Yue’s skills were noticeably more refined.
Moreover, compared to before, this time Zhang Yue’s Silver Armored Scorpion was two levels higher and equipped with a level 10, 2-star quality golden attribute item, the Bloodthirsty Berserk War Ring!
The Berserk War Ring’s Bloodthirsty attribute (restores 55 HP per attack) greatly enhanced the Silver Armored Scorpion’s survivability.
With the use of health potions, the Silver Armored Scorpion maintained its HP above 50% while tanking the Boar King’s damage!
Zhang Yue, on the other hand, unleashed a barrage of attacks from behind.
In just a few minutes, the Boar King was reduced to 1 HP!
At this moment, Forty Thousand swung her staff, delivering a basic attack that easily finished off the Boar King.
With the Boar King defeated, they cleared the First World.
At this moment, the black aura surrounding Forty Thousand dissipated, and a multicolored light descended from the sky, enveloping her.
“Ding~ Congratulations on breaking the Plague Mage’s profession restriction, Plague Body!”
“Ding~ Congratulations on evolving into a Core Professional, Forbidden Mage (Epic Grade)!”
As the system notification fell, Forty Thousand was in utter disbelief!
She had actually succeeded!
Moreover, she had evolved into an Epic Grade Core Professional!
At this moment, she felt like she was dreaming.
On Zhang Yue’s side.
Having already killed the Boar King once, the second kill only yielded 10% of the experience: 540 points.
With a second-time killer in the team, the Boar King’s drop rate was significantly reduced, only dropping two pieces of level 10, 1-star equipment, which couldn’t compare to the three pieces of 2-star equipment Zhang Yue got on his first kill!
At this moment, a system announcement descended from the sky—
[First World Announcement]: “Ding~ Congratulations to the Professional Su Ya for defeating the World BOSS Berserk Boar King and clearing the First World: Nightmare Source!”
Following “Zero,” the First World once again caused a huge stir!
“Someone else cleared the First World? What’s going on this year? Talents are emerging one after another!”
“No way! There’s only one clearance announcement again. Could this person have soloed the World BOSS too?”
“Could it be that the World BOSS difficulty has been lowered this year? I should hurry and complete the world task and solo the BOSS too!”
Meanwhile, in the Nightmare Abyss.
After defeating the Boar King, a red and blue rift opened.
Zhang Yue headed straight for the blue rift.
At this moment, a soft call from behind, “Su Ya,” stopped him: “Where are you going?”
“To get money from your sister.” With that, Zhang Yue disappeared into the blue rift.
Leaving Su Ya alone, standing in place, staring at the fallen Boar King’s corpse, her emotions in turmoil.
“He’s also a new Professional this year. How is he so powerful? He can even solo a level 10 BOSS!”
“Wait… After killing the Boar King, why was there only my clearance announcement and not his?”
“Could it be that he is…” Suddenly realizing something, Su Ya was stunned: “The one who cleared the level 5 Secret Realm Doomsday City and first cleared the First World… Zero!”
On the other side.
Zhang Yue returned to Doomsday Town and immediately logged off.
Back in his rented apartment in reality, he picked up his phone and redialed the previous number.
“Hello? Yes.” That familiar elegant lady’s voice rang out again.
Zhang Yue got straight to the point: “I’ve completed the task. I’ll give you my account number, please transfer the money.”
The other end was silent for a few seconds before saying, “Please wait, let me verify, and I’ll get back to you shortly.”
Meanwhile.
In the center of Coastal City, Su Family Building.
In a luxuriously decorated private office with a “President” sign on the door, a tall girl with fair skin, dressed in black professional attire and a high ponytail, put down the phone.
She murmured, “Less than two hours, and he says he’s completed the task. You scammers are getting less and less convincing.”
Just as she finished speaking, her phone rang again.
The girl picked up the phone and held it to her ear.
A soft voice came through: “Sis, I have great news for you!”
The voice on the other end sounded very happy.
The girl, who hadn’t felt such joy from the other person in three years, seemed to realize something and asked tentatively, “Did you… clear the First World?”
“Yes!” The voice on the other end was very crisp: “The Plague Body has been broken! I got an Epic Grade Core Profession, Forbidden Mage!”
“Epic Grade!” The girl stood up abruptly, a pleased smile appearing on her fair cheeks: “That’s great! Jin Yan, I’ll send someone to bring you to the company right away! We’ll hold an emergency meeting!”
“Okay!”
Hanging up the phone, Su Jin Ya’s excitement couldn’t be calmed.
“Our Su family has never had a Professional above Rare Grade, and now Jin Yan has become an Epic Grade Core Professional!”
“As long as we nurture her well, our Su family’s status in the Dragon Kingdom will surely rise significantly!”
On the other side.
In an old residential building in the suburbs of Coastal City.
After hanging up the phone, Zhang Yue didn’t wait for the other party to verify and directly sent his bank account number.
A few minutes later, he received a text message:
“Your account ending in 649 has received a transfer: yuan, current balance: .5 yuan!”
“Has it arrived?” Without hesitation, Zhang Yue found the bank account and transferred 390,000 yuan!
Soon, the bank called: “Mr. Zhang Yue, your transfer has been received!”
Money is indeed a wonderful thing!
After receiving the money, the other party’s attitude changed completely!
“Good, that’s settled.” Zhang Yue said, “I’ll leave my brother in your care. Make sure he gets well.”
At this moment, the person on the other end brought some bad news:
“Mr. Zhang Yue, due to your brother’s severe injuries, he will need continuous hospitalization and treatment, which is estimated to cost 40,000 to 50,000 yuan per month. The hospital wanted to give you a heads-up so you can be prepared.”
Zhang Yue frowned slightly: “Alright, I understand.”
Hanging up the phone, Zhang Yue fell into distress again: “I never thought that as the Dragon Kingdom’s strongest Xiu Luo, I’d be so troubled by money.”
Zhang Yue suddenly remembered: Liu Yao had previously offered him a monthly salary of 50,000 yuan to join the Supreme Guild.
If he had agreed back then, the medical expenses would have been covered.
Zhang Yue felt a bit regretful: “I should have agreed back then~”
Just as he finished speaking.
Zhang Yue received another call from that elegant lady’s voice:
“Sir, are you interested in joining our Mist Rain Pavilion Guild?”
“As the Vice President of Mist Rain Pavilion, I sincerely invite you. The company offers full benefits and a base salary of 30,000 yuan per month, plus performance-based bonuses!”
“Would you consider it?”
Hearing this, Zhang Yue smiled slightly.
Without thinking, he said, “Alright.”
“I’ll join you.”
