"Ding, you have completed the first kill of the Old Drunkard, a server-wide announcement is about to be made. Hide your name?"
"No."
"Server-wide announcement, congratulations to player Snow Emperor for completing the first kill of the Old Drunkard. This announcement is to encourage all players to keep up the good work!"
Two boss kills in a row, how could he not brag about this? How could he not refute the Game CEO?
"@GameCEO, what do you have to say now? Snow Emperor has completed two boss first kills in a short period of time. I'm just asking, who else can do that?"
"To use your words, this alone proves what I said before: that Snow Emperor's level drop was just a mistake!"
GameCEO did not back down just because Lin had suddenly got two boss kills.
He responded shortly after Floating Corpse Shield Mountain's post came out.
"Two bosses with no real value, this doesn't prove anything. Moreover, all signs indicate that Snow Emperor is still in the newbie village."
"Is killing two bosses in the newbie village at this stage something worth bragging about?"
A new round of clashes began online.
But Lin, the instigator, was completely unaware.
After killing the Azure Flower Serpent and the Old Drunkard, he chose to loot the corpses.
"Ding, you have obtained Skill Book +2."
"Ding, you have obtained Equipment +3."
"Ding, you have obtained Special Item: Golden Light Talisman."
"Ding, you have obtained Special Item: Wine Gourd."
"Ding, you have obtained Gold Coins +10."
The rewards were not particularly generous.
Lin looked at the skills and equipment, but they were not as good as his own, and there was nothing he could use.
Then, Lin looked at the Golden Light Talisman and the Wine Gourd.
Golden Light Talisman: Special Item.
Effect: When activated, it grants a golden light shield, Magic Resistance +100, Armor +300, lasting for five minutes.
Note: A one-time consumable item.
Wine Gourd: Special Item.
Effect: Collecting natural treasures and placing them inside allows it to automatically brew special wines, including but not limited to providing free attribute points, temporary buffs, etc.
Note: The more precious the natural treasures, the better the wine that can be brewed.
Lin's eyes lit up.
This Golden Light Talisman was very ordinary to him.
But this Wine Gourd seemed to be a bit extraordinary.
For the time being, Lin couldn't figure out exactly what kind of natural treasures would yield what.
Moreover, in the early stages of the game, natural treasures were not easy to obtain.
Putting away the items, Lin smiled at the old village chief, and then returned to the newbie village.
Blacksmith Shop.
Blacksmith Jack was forging iron.
Seeing Lin return, a satisfied smile appeared on his face.
"Snow Emperor, you really didn't disappoint me."
"Ding, you have completed Blacksmith Jack's quest."
"Quest Reward: Breeze Set +1."
Lin's eyes lit up.
This Breeze Set was quite good for him.
Most importantly, both attack speed and movement speed were increased.
However, Lin already had the Bloodthirst Necklace, two gold-grade rings, and the Nine Union Longbow.
He had to make some trade-offs.
The Nine Union Longbow definitely had to be kept, after all, it came with life steal and so many powerful attributes.
The Heavy Thunder Ring was ordinary, so for the sake of attack speed and movement speed, he could temporarily not wear the Heavy Thunder Ring.
After a short thought, Lin replaced one Heavy Thunder Ring, forming a ten-piece Breeze Set plus one Heavy Thunder Ring, a Bloodthirst Necklace, and the main weapon Nine Union Longbow.
After putting on this set of equipment, Lin's attributes underwent earth-shattering changes.
"Blacksmith Jack, when are we going to act?" Lin asked directly.
He had been delayed in the newbie village for too long, so he naturally needed to consider leaving the newbie village as soon as possible.
Blacksmith Jack smiled mysteriously, "Right now!"
Lin nodded and asked, "How do we fight?"
Blacksmith Jack smiled and said, "Before, I had secretly fought with the old village chief many times. This time, you are the vanguard."
"Oh?"
Lin was a little surprised.
"What do you mean?"
"If we fight head-on, neither I nor the old village chief is confident that we can defeat the other, but if you help, it will be different."
"I see."
Lin smiled and said, "So, we are going directly to the cliff to find the old village chief."
"That's right. Before that, go to the tavern and buy me two jars of wine."
"Okay."
Lin was a little surprised that Blacksmith Jack really needed to drink.
Tavern.
After Lin bought the wine.
He did not poison the wine as agreed with the old village chief.
In this battle, regardless of who wins in the end, Lin hoped it would be a pyrrhic victory.
Because only in this way could he reap the benefits.
After Blacksmith Jack received the wine Lin brought back, he first tested it with a silver needle.
"The Old Drunkard is, after all, the old village chief's man. Even if he is dead, we still need to be careful."
Lin was a little stunned. Is this the absolute trust the old village chief spoke of?
This silver needle test.
Said he didn't trust the Old Drunkard.
But in reality, he didn't trust him.
"Let's go."
After seeing that the silver needle did not change color, Blacksmith Jack showed a satisfied smile.
"Let's go!"
Lin followed Blacksmith Jack all the way to the cliff.
The old village chief was still drinking tea in the pavilion.
Seeing the arrival of Lin and Blacksmith Jack, a smile appeared on his face.
"Old Jack, we have known each other for so many years, do we really have to go this far?"
Blacksmith Jack snorted coldly, "Old village chief, I don't want to go this far either, but I advised you, you didn't listen, I can't do anything about it."
"Could I listen? You were trying to destroy our newbie village."
"You are the one who wants to destroy our newbie village."
Blacksmith Jack roared with some excitement, "I want to get it done once and for all, and your method is like boiling a frog in warm water. Our newbie village will definitely be finished!"
The old village chief sighed, "Even now, you are still so stubborn."
"You are the one who is stubborn!" Blacksmith Jack shouted.
The old village chief shook his head, "Since that's the case, then there's nothing more to say."
As soon as he finished speaking, a set of silver-white armor appeared on the old village chief's body.
Silver Armor Set!
This was already considered very perverted in the newbie village.
However, Blacksmith Jack was even more perverted.
Because what Blacksmith Jack was wearing was actually a Gold Armor Set.
"It seems you have already forged this Xuan Turtle Armor Set."
The old village chief looked a little solemn.
Blacksmith Jack nodded with a smile, "That's right, I also have to thank Snow Emperor for this. He helped me collect a lot of equipment, otherwise I might not have been able to forge the Xuan Turtle Armor Set today."
"It's a pity, there are only ten pieces. If there were thirteen pieces, I might not be your opponent!" The old village chief was fearless.
Blacksmith Jack scolded, "Old village chief, are you still talking such nonsense when death is upon you?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Blacksmith Jack took the lead.
He charged towards the old village chief with a shield with barbs in his hand!
