Chapter 9: Rich Rewards
Don't look at the fact that the second quest only requires three Flame Essences, but that doesn't mean that this quest is easy to complete!
In fact, Zhang Yang didn't hit his first Flame Essence until twenty minutes later!
The second Flame Essence came quite quickly, and it landed in Zhang Yang's backpack after only five minutes. But the third flame essence took another hour to be exposed to it before it was finally touched by him.
"Black hand!" Zhang Yang kept looking at his hands as he turned back to the novice village.
Looking at the experience slot, it has reached 73% of the experience of this level, and it is not far from leveling. After all, he's been killing level 10 monsters by leapfrogging, and the experience points he gets are quite impressive.
Returning to Farian to deliver the mission, the uncle generously gave another 5,000 experience points, and then said: "Young warrior, you have completed the tasks I have given you again and again, making me feel that you still have a little bit of strength!" Well, that's the last material needed to forge a blade - the Frost Giant's Soul! Different Frost Giants have different soul powers, so you can decide which Frost Giant to challenge based on your strength and courage! ”
"Ding! You can choose one of the following four difficulties to complete the mission, and the higher the difficulty, the greater the reward! The four levels of difficulty are: Very Hard, Relatively Hard, Average, and Easy, please choose! ”
"It's hard!" Zhang Yang didn't think about it, and immediately made a choice. Obviously, only the extremely difficult options have a chance to get a final rating of "perfect"!
"Haha, a courageous choice, I hope you also have the strength to match, rookie!" Farian handed Zhang Yang a crystal stone and said, "Take this frost stone and put it in the center of the circle in the basement, and the circle will automatically activate and summon the frost giant!" ”
"Ding! You've accepted the mission: Materials for Casting Blades (3)! ”
"Ding! You've got the item Frost Stone! ”
【Materials for Casting Blades (3)】(Difficulty: S Rank)
Description: Use the Frost Stone to summon the Frost Giant, defeat it, collect its soul, and give it to Farian to complete the final material collection. This quest can only be completed solo and automatically fails once a second player enters the Frost Giant's aggro.
Completion: Collect 0/1 of the Frost Giant's souls
S-class mission, it seems that you will get the final reward soon!
The basement was just below the village hall, and it took Zhang Yang five or six minutes to descend to the bottom along the crooked passageway. He used to wonder what this basement was used for, but now he finally had the answer.
The basement was lit with torches all around, and it was very empty, and on the ground in the middle, a very complex magic circle was drawn. Zhang Yang took out the Frost Stone from his backpack and inlaid it into the hollow space in the center of the circle.
Airplanes!
Countless white lights suddenly surged violently, which was very magnificent and dazzling! Then, a deep voice echoed through the basement.
"Who is it...... Summoning Maratuk! Maratuk is sleeping, and the one who wakes up Maratuk will be punished by frost! ”
Rumble!
A giant six or seven people tall suddenly appeared in the center of the circle, all in sky blue, exuding a cold air, which instantly lowered the temperature of the basement by several degrees!
"You, a mortal, dare disturb Maratuk's dreams! Maratuk is going to crush you! The blue giant quickly spotted Zhang Yang, and immediately swung his huge fist and smashed it down on Zhang Yang's head!
Maratuk (Elite)
Grade: 10
Health: 5000
Zhang Yang took a step back, and immediately rushed forward, and Maratuk suddenly flashed a star representing a coma on his head.
“-18!”
A sword swing only deals a measly 18 damage! What tall armor!
It's a pity that the effect of the trial poison has long since disappeared, and each player can only buy it once, and Zhang Yang can only grind it slowly on his own!
"Damn ant, you've made Maratuk angry!" Malatuk threw his fist angrily and threw it at Zhang Yang again.
"Grid!"
“-17!”
"What a cheeky man!" Zhang Yang muttered, waved his shield, and launched a "shield slam".
“-54!”
Hurt by Zhang Yang's blow, Malatuk roared angrily, took a step forward with his big foot, and stepped on Zhang Yang fiercely.
Dodge!
“-19!”
“-19!”
A normal attack followed by a powerful blow, although the amount of blood deducted was not much, but it made Malatuk even more angry.
But for Zhang Yang, who moves flexibly, Malatuk is like playing a game of whack-a-mole, although he has the absolute upper hand in strength, he can never beat people, but is slowly pulled down by Zhang Yang bit by bit!
90%! 80%! 70%! 60%! 50%!
"Tiny mortals, welcome the wrath of the God of Frost!" Malatuk suddenly crouched down and slapped his palms heavily on the ground! Suddenly, countless ice spikes pierced out of the ground, like spears!
Since he had never encountered this kind of monster, Zhang Yang didn't know what skills it would use, although he was already alert when it spoke, but he didn't know what tricks the other party would make, and how to resist it!
Zhang Yang took his keen motor nerves to the extreme in an instant, dodging between the ice spikes, and his body was extremely gorgeous!
"Ding! You have been hit by an ice spike and have lost 30 health! ”
"Ding! You have been hit by an ice spike and have lost 30 health! ”
"Ding......
Five consecutive system prompts sounded in his ears, although Zhang Yang exerted his speed to the extreme, but the agility value of this character was not high enough, and he could not exert his full strength, but he was still hit by five ice spikes, and the blood bar suddenly plummeted!
This is also a loss of publicity, if you change someone, you will definitely be killed by the monster's big move!
Zhang Yang now only has a total of 190 HP, and there are only 40 residual blood points left in an instant, he ordered a bottle of primary healing potion, and the green word "+100" floated over his head, and the HP immediately rose again.
The Red Bottle has a cooldown of half a minute, but luckily Malatuk's ultimate, which is not activated very often, otherwise, the cooldown time of the potion is really not enough!
"Malatuk is going to break your bones!" The Frost Giant got back on his feet, and everything was back to its original rhythm.
40%! 30%! 20%! 10%!
Zhang Yang was slightly nervous, and when the monster's blood volume dropped to 10%, it was possible to enter a berserk state! And once it enters the berserk state, the frequency of monsters using skills will be much faster, which is also the most dangerous part of the battle! Although Zhang Yang is a master, it is absolutely impossible for him to survive the boss's three or four waves of ultimate!
Luckily, it didn't turn red!
Zhang Yang breathed a sigh of relief, and thought about it in his heart, this task can only be completed alone, and the monster has skills that are enough to trap people, if it can still be berserk, how can this make people live?
…… 3%! 2%! 1%!
"Damn mortal, Malatuk will definitely return...... Definitely! When the last of the bars of blood were knocked off, Malatuk finally collapsed, his massive body bombarding the ground with a thunderous thud.
"Whew!" Zhang Yang exhaled, and it was finally done!
The circle began to work again, and the Frost Giant's corpse slowly shrunk, eventually forming a blue bead the size of a fist.
"This is the soul of the Frost Giant?" Zhang Yang picked up the beads casually, stared around with wide eyes, "Pit man, obviously killed a big monster, why didn't you drop anything!" ”
Zhang Yang angrily returned to it and handed the blue beads to Farian.
"Young man, you have proved your courage and strength, and I must admit that you may become a great warrior in the future!" Farian beckoned and said, "Follow me, now that all the materials are ready, I will build an invincible blade for you!" ”
"Ding! You have completed the mission: Casting Blade Materials (3) and earned 10,000 XP! ”
Still not giving the final reward, Zhang Yang patiently followed Farian to the village blacksmith's shop.
After a few words with the owner of the blacksmith's shop, Farian took out the various materials, then picked up the hammer and forged it "dangdang".
Thankfully, this was the game, and everything was moving quickly, but in half a minute, Farion had a shining sword in his hand.
"Then, young warrior, make it your most loyal companion and drink the blood of your enemies!" Farian threw his sword at Zhang Yang, then took out a red book and said, "This is a skill I learned in battle, and now I will give it to you!" ”
"Ding! You've earned the item, Iron Blade! ”
"Ding! You've earned the skill book Sweep! ”
"Ding! You have completed the Hidden Class Quest: Farion's Requirements, Mission Rating: Perfect, and you have earned 20,000 XP! ”
"Ding! You've been rewarded: a skill point! ”
"Ding! Congratulations on reaching level 8, +1 for all castes, and 5 free caste points! ”
"Ding! Congratulations, you're the first player to complete a hidden mission and earn a 'Perfect' rating, which will make it to the Glory Achievement Roll! Do you publish your name so that the world can celebrate your achievements? ”
It's going to be on the list again? Zhang Yang thought about it, but still chose no.
Suddenly, in the cold world channel, the red words of the server were frantically swiped!
"Server Announcement: Player (name REDACTED) is the first to complete the hidden mission and earns a 'Perfect' rating (China), which will make it to the Glorious Achievement Chart! Cheers and praises him! ”
"Server Announcement: Player (name redacted) is the first to complete the hidden mission and get the 'Perfect' rating (China) and get 10 gold coins rewarded by the system!"
"Server Announcement: Player (name REDACTED) is the first to complete the Hidden Quest and earns a 'Perfect' rating (China), increasing their reputation by 500 points for all races in the Alliance!"
"Ding! You've got an extra bonus: +1 Luck! ”
In one day, the server was red twice, and the players in the whole China region were boiling again!
"That's crazy! Actually completed the hidden mission? ”
"Oh my God, it's still a 'perfect' rating! I read the news on the official website, the 'perfect' level of setting difficulty, but only one in a million people can complete it! ”
"I wonder what good things were rewarded?"
"Shit server, why can't Lao Tzu receive hidden tasks?"
"Looks!"
"Character problem!"
"Be sure to wash your hands after getting on the tuba!"
"Let me ask you a question, which hand do you use to wipe your butts after the tuba?"
"Left hand!"
"Right hand!"
"Right hand!"
"Brother wiped it with toilet paper! A few hardcores upstairs! ”
Soon, the building was crooked.
……
Zhang Yang opened his backpack and looked through the final results of this task.
【Iron Blade】(Black Iron Weapon, One-Handed Sword)
Attack: 16-24
Attack Time: 2 seconds
Required Level: 10
――At this stage, the vast majority of players are still busy with the weapons rewarded by the level 5 career mission, but Zhang Yang has already obtained the level 10 black iron weapon! If this is to be said, how embarrassing is it for the players who are still working hard to do the task!
[Sweep] (Skill Book)
Use: Teaches you how to sweep.
Bind.
Zhang Yang was a little angry, it was obviously a "perfect" rating, but how could he get the same reward as "average"? This is too tricky! slapped the skill book on his body, and after a flash of golden light, there was immediately one more in his skill bar.
[Sweep]: Attacks all nearby enemies, dealing 200% melee damage to each target. Cost: 20 rage. Cooldown: 8s. Required: Melee weapon.
200% melee damage?!
Zhang Yang's eyes lit up suddenly, and he clearly remembered that the "Sweep" skill obtained by the miner maniac in the previous life could only deal 100% melee damage!
Ecstasy! That's a "perfect" rating!
Earn a fortune!
