Nottingham City.
Zhang Yue didn’t rush to the defense camp to kill zombies; instead, he went to the pharmacy to stock up.
Because in the final stage of the “Collect Materials” quest, dealing with Toxic Zombies was incredibly blood-draining!
Every two zombies required a bottle of level 3 health potion worth 15 Copper Coins!
For an average person, this would be unaffordable!
After all, each Toxic Zombie only dropped 6-7 Copper Coins, making it a losing proposition.
Fortunately, during the First World, the King Grade hidden quest had brought Zhang Yue a huge reward of 1 Gold Coin!
This Gold Coin should last him a long time.
After restocking, Su Jinyan came online.
After meeting up in the city, they headed to the defense camp together.
On the way, Zhang Yue asked, “You mentioned you had something for me?”
“Here~” Su Jinyan handed a pair of silver-gray greaves to Zhang Yue.
Zhang Yue took them and looked.
[Doomsday Greaves] (Level 15, 2 stars)!
“Did the Zombie King drop this?” Zhang Yue mused.
“Yes!” Su Jinyan said cheerfully, “You killed the boss, but you didn’t take anything.”
“These greaves are just right for you, and I noticed you didn’t have any leg armor, so I brought them for you.”
Zhang Yue didn’t stand on ceremony and accepted the greaves.
Then, behind Su Jinyan’s back, he quietly performed a one-click refinement on the Doomsday Greaves.
“Ding~ Congratulations, you’ve obtained the Golden Attribute [Fatal Earth Guard]!”
[Fatal Earth Guard] (Level 15)
[Quality: 2 stars]
[Attribute: Golden]
[Physical Defense: 60]
[Magic Defense: 55]
[Profession: Beast Tamer, Archer]
[Bonus: Endurance +5, Endurance +5]
[Entry: Fatal Guard (Active, transfer up to 50 points of your defense to a designated ally, no cooldown)]
[Description: The guard of the Doomsday Zombie King, may life never be breached…]
Defense wasn’t particularly useful for Zhang Yue, but this entry significantly increased the value of the equipment!
Zhang Yue immediately equipped it.
At this moment, Su Jinyan sighed softly, “Chen Jun is such a petty and arrogant person.”
“Zhang Yue, don’t take his words to heart!”
Zhang Yue asked curiously, “Hmm? What did he say?”
After a pause, Zhang Yue asked, “Why does your Su family’s guild let an outsider take over?”
“His father and my uncle, Su Chen, the director of the Su family, were life-and-death friends,” Su Jinyan explained. “It was my uncle who appointed Chen Jun to lead the branch in Coastal City.”
“But don’t worry!”
Su Jinyan seemed afraid that describing Chen Jun’s background would make Zhang Yue wary, so she added, “After all, he’s not part of the Su family, and there are some things he has no authority over!”
In reality, Zhang Yue didn’t take Chen Jun seriously at all.
Soon, they arrived at the defense camp.
They crossed the Flame Zombie and Ice Zombie areas and went straight to the Toxic Zombie area.
As before, they cooperated to hunt Toxic Zombies.
An afternoon wasn’t enough time.
In the evening, they went offline for dinner and then came back online to continue killing zombies and collecting toxic zombie cores.
Unexpectedly, their actions were being watched by a pair of eyes in the shadows…
In Nottingham City, Chen Jun and Wu Sin (Mist Rain Pavilion, Sin) had just finished restocking at the pharmacy.
Suddenly, a short man with the ID [Mist Rain Pavilion, Shadow], an Assassin, ran up to them.
He said to Chen Jun, “Guild Leader, I’ve been watching Miss Su all day as you instructed!”
“How is it?” Chen Jun immediately asked, eyes wide with concern about Su Jinyan.
The Assassin, Mist Rain Pavilion, Shadow, said, “Since I started watching her, I’ve noticed that Miss Su has been inseparable from that new Beast Tamer. They’ve been teaming up to kill zombies in the defense camp in the west of the city, probably on a quest to collect zombie cores.”
“They went offline for dinner and then came back online together.”
“I saw Miss Su laughing and chatting with that Beast Tamer, looking very happy. They seemed like a couple…”
Hearing this, Chen Jun felt like he had stepped on a landmine. He grabbed Mist Rain Pavilion, Shadow by the collar and snarled, “What did you say?!”
Mist Rain Pavilion, Shadow was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat and quickly said, “Guild… Guild Leader, I’m just reporting what I saw. It’s true, I didn’t lie!”
Chen Jun’s face was livid with anger as he gritted his teeth, “I’ve known Miss Su for three years, and she’s never smiled at me!”
“Is it possible,” Wu Sin, the Holy Assassin, interjected, “that Miss Su hasn’t smiled at anyone since she awakened as a Plague Mage three years ago?”
“Three years of my protection and companionship, and I can’t compare to a few days of sweet talk from a young punk?” Chen Jun roared, “What kind of spell did that kid cast on you?!”
Wu Sin advised, “Chen, that kid only got close to Miss Su because he joined our Mist Rain Pavilion.”
“In my opinion, we just need to find a way to kick him out of the guild, and that will distance him from Miss Su.”
“I have a thousand ways to kick him out of the guild!” Chen Jun said coldly, “But don’t you think that’s too easy on him?”
Wu Sin pondered, “Chen, do you have any ideas?”
“I want him to know that messing with my woman has only one outcome,” Chen Jun’s eyes flashed with murderous intent, “Death!”
Wu Sin said, “But, in the Otherworld, there are Resurrection Scrolls, and after death, the revival point is in a no-PK Safe Zone. It’s hard to permanently eliminate someone!”
Chen Jun was unconcerned, “Remember the rules of the Second World?”
“Whenever a Zombie Tide occurs, the Safe Zone’s protection for Professionals is lifted. We just need to wait for a Zombie Tide, and we can easily deal with him.”
“That’s true…” Wu Sin was still worried, “But that guy is very strong. This morning, he single-handedly held off the entire Supreme Guild! When we could only deal single-digit damage to the Zombie King, he dealt three to four hundred damage and killed it!”
“Can we really kill him with our strength? I’m worried we might end up hurting ourselves…”
Chen Jun snorted, “You said it yourself, his damage is high. It’s only because that idiot second-generation wealthy Liu Yao appreciated him and retreated with his troops. Otherwise, could he have repelled the Supreme Guild?”
“His attack is high, but do you know what his defense level is?”
Wu Sin shook his head, “No one seemed to have hit him, so we couldn’t see his damage intake.”
Chen Jun turned to the short Assassin, Mist Rain Pavilion, Shadow.
Mist Rain Pavilion, Shadow also shook his head, “His damage is too explosive. I watched them all afternoon, and all the zombies were one-shot kills. There was no chance to hit him…”
“Exactly!” Chen Jun saw an opportunity, “A Beast Tamer’s defense growth is lower than a Priest’s. Besides, when I saw him, he didn’t have leg or head armor. His defense must be low!”
Chen Jun instructed Mist Rain Pavilion, Shadow, “Keep an eye on them. This time, watch closely and find out Zhang Yue’s defense attributes!”
Mist Rain Pavilion, Shadow quickly agreed, “Yes! Understood!”
Then he turned and ran off.
Chen Jun clenched his fist, his face fierce, “Jinyan is mine! No one will take her from me!”
