Chapter 140 The Lost Empire
After the bald little girl was low on health, Feng Lixi immediately cast a shield on her and started healing her. At this point, Hu Bowei, who was a thief, was the kind of person who was neither loved nor cared for.
In this kind of battle, rogues are obviously not as important as tanks. Tanks can protect the DPS classes behind them if they survive, while for rogues, surviving only adds a little bit of damage output.
Therefore, at this point, Feng Lixi naturally chose to protect the tank and abandon the thief.
Hu Bo knew that no one would care about him at this time, so he immediately withdrew and distanced himself from the BOSS. At the same time, he also drank a health potion and began to slowly recover his health.
At this moment, Su Rui and the filthy fairy were already going all out. They didn't know how much longer the bald little loli could hold on, so they could only desperately attack.
By this time, Su Rui's canned food had cooled down, and he activated the accessory again and ate the canned food.
After all his attributes increased by fifty, Su Rui's spell damage surged again. At this point, his Shadow Bolt's panel damage had exceeded one thousand, even reaching over one thousand one hundred!
Although the BOSS has high resistance and a rank-based damage reduction effect, a single Shadow Bolt can still deal more than 800 damage to it, causing its health to drop rapidly. After just two Shadow Bolts, the BOSS's health was almost gone!
"You damned humans! My mother will not let you get away with this!" Grandel roared, but he didn't unleash any powerful moves before Su Rui and the others depleted his health.
"That's it?" Su Rui was stunned. He thought the BOSS was going to make a last-ditch effort, but he didn't expect it to just shout once and then die.
"Let's loot the corpse," said the musty-smelling fairy.
"Baldy, you go ahead," Su Rui said with a shrug. Because of his reconnaissance skills, he already knew that the BOSS would only drop one type of quest item, so it didn't matter who went to open it.
"Alright!" The bald little girl had no idea what was in the BOSS's loot list, so she was quite excited, after all, this was the first BOSS she had ever killed!
"What the hell is this?" The bald little girl rummaged through the BOSS's corpse and found the quest item.
Troll Mark (Purple Epic Quality, Quest Item)
Usage: Triggers a task.
"Activate it!" Su Rui said to the bald little girl.
"Okay!" The bald little girl nodded and then activated the item.
"Ding! Troll Mark triggered. The system has issued you a mission—The Lost Empire! Accept?"
"Yes!" Su Rui and the others nodded immediately. Who would choose to give up a quest triggered by an epic-level quest item?
After everyone accepted the mission, the troll mark disappeared from the bald little girl's hands.
At this moment, Su Rui checked the task list and found that the Lost Empire task had been updated.
The Lost Empire: The troll race, which once ruled the entire continent, established countless vast empires, one of which was the Tazan Empire!
Three thousand years ago, this place was an oasis where the trolls of the Tazan Empire built a vast civilization. They enslaved many races, including dwarves, gnomes, goblins, and even humans!
Until one day, a sandstorm swept across the Tazan Empire, and the once prosperous empire was covered by sand overnight. All the Tazan trolls disappeared under the sand!
Mission objective: Find out the cause of the destruction of the Tazan Empire!
Quest Level: 19
Minimum level required: 13
Task Difficulty: Extremely Difficult! (Team play recommended!)
Quest Rewards: 100000 Experience Points! 5 Gold Coins! 3000 Tazan Empire Reputation! Choose one from Imperial Shoulderpads/Shoulderpads/Mantle!
Special Reward: Imperial Badge! (Legendary Necklace) Acquisition Method: Unknown.
"Wow! This quest is awesome! It gives 100,000 experience points! That's enough to level up!" the bald little girl exclaimed.
"Yes, the rewards for this mission are really generous!" Hu Bowei nodded in agreement.
Keep in mind that everyone present is only level 13. They only need less than 80,000 experience points to level up. 100,000 experience points are enough for them to level up. Moreover, someone like Su Rui, who already has half a tube of experience points, can not only level up if he completes the task, but he can even throw away another half tube of experience points!
"One hundred thousand experience points!" Su Rui smacked his lips. Although he had done many high-level quests before, he had never received such a generous experience reward!
"Don't get too excited yet, this mission is probably not that simple," Feng Lixi said, pouring cold water on everyone's hopes.
“That’s true. Look at the level requirement for this mission. Level thirteen is just the minimum requirement to accept the mission. The actual level of this mission is nineteen!” Su Rui nodded in agreement. There’s no such thing as a free lunch in this world. High rewards mean high difficulty!
"Level 19...that sounds so far away..." The slightly musty fairy shrugged. On the official website of the game "Source", the most common complaint is the difficulty of leveling up.
Although players only need 70,000 to 80,000 experience points to level up now, have you ever seen a game where killing monsters only gives you 30 or 40 experience points? How long would it take to accumulate 70,000 or 80,000 experience points?
Unlike the keyboard games of the past, where you could simply stand there and kill monsters around you without moving, in virtual games, monsters are scattered in most areas, except for certain special locations where they spawn more densely. Even ranged players have to run around to find other monsters after killing one or two, so the efficiency of killing monsters is much lower than you might imagine.
If killing monsters is inefficient, and you make players kill thousands of monsters to level up, this monotonous and tedious leveling process is unbearable for most people, except for professional players. Even professional players like Su Rui, in order to keep Feng Lixi from getting bored, focus on leveling up through quests rather than spending more than ten hours a day grinding monsters.
While leveling up that way is slightly faster, you'll go crazy in just a few days, since monotonous monster-slaying isn't exactly a good form of entertainment.
Therefore, challenging and rewarding missions like these are what players love most; otherwise, Su Rui's mercenary group, which can be upgraded, wouldn't be so attractive.
"Look! What's that?!" Just as everyone was amazed by the mission reward, even more trolls gathered below the platform, seemingly numbering over five hundred. Moreover, this time they weren't moving in batches, but rather charging towards the platform all at once.
"Holy crap! I'm doomed!" the bald little girl screamed.
