Chapter 1301: Chapter 55 SSS Grade Spoils of War

The castle’s lobby had turned into ruins, and the ceiling had completely shattered, allowing the enchanting starlight to be seen.

The Warhammer team’s attack was like a tidal flood, sweeping over Cinderella relentlessly. She stepped lightly into the air, and after a flash of light from her crystal shoes, she disappeared, reappearing behind Mu Nianqi. With a flick of her wrist, her thin sword transformed into countless sword shadows, intent on turning the queen into a sieve.

Mu Nianqi’s Northern Wind Ring activated with full force, rapidly condensing the air around her like a miniature tornado, cocooning her in protection.

As the tornado spun, the ground’s debris was stirred up, nearly blinding everyone with dust, while also shooting out blades of air that struck Cinderella.

Her evening gown was shredded, and Cinderella’s skin was slashed with hundreds of tiny wounds. Before she could fall, Tang Zheng appeared behind her, sweeping her head with a kick that sent her flying, but then she was caught by the ankle by the group leader and swung towards Pang Meiqin.

The Demon Ripper’s extra damage against spirit bodies was significant. Amidst the roar of the motor, Pang Meiqin swung her sword, cleaving into Cinderella.

A horrific wound opened up, and blood spilled out like a torrent, leaving behind a large pool.

The pumpkin carriage fired a volley of golden arrows. Pang Meiqin kicked Cinderella in the stomach, booting her out of range, but a few still hit, slightly healing her wounds.

Lu Fan flew in mid-air, dual guns blasting, bullets hitting Cinderella, leaving her like a garden ravaged by a sudden downpour, broken and on the brink of withering.

At this point, there was little suspense left in the battle. Cinderella was unlucky: Gu Xueqi’s dispersal and purification just happened to counter her abilities. In pure melee, she was only on the level of a 2nd-tier hero, hardly a match for Tang Zheng and Mu Nianqi, the two gifted and fearless ones.

Tang Zheng glanced at Qin Yan and the others, although they put on a desperate front, they held back their strength, leaving the final blow to Mu Nianqi.

Mu Nianqi had the same idea; she didn’t care for those few points, so instead, Tao Ran’s Time-Space Blackfish found an opportunity, biting off half of Cinderella’s head, and then Pang Meiqin charged forward, amidst a spray of blood, slicing Cinderella into two.

Indeed, she was a BOSS, with strong resistance to being struck. Seeing Cinderella’s upper body still trying to counterattack as it flew towards him, Tang Zheng swung his sword without hesitation and chopped off her head, then he stabbed into her chest, pulverizing her heart.

Death’s arrival was a relief for Cinderella. She revealed a smile of release, and before her corpse could hit the ground, it turned into black mist and dissipated into the night sky with the warm breeze.

Click, a pair of transparent crystal shoes fell onto the floor, and besides that, there were two Star Seeds.

"Is this all the spoils of war?" Teng Yuanxiang muttered in disappointment, then looked up at the pumpkin carriage in midair.

Without its master, the four fine horses went berserk, charging around aimlessly, but they didn’t specifically attack the Warhammer team.

Lu Fan flew up to the carriage, grabbing the reins in an attempt to control them, to no avail.

Gu Xueqi tried firing a few Flame Phoenixes, and after purifying the malevolent spirits on the carriage, they calmed down and descended to the ground.

"Could this also be equipment?" Pang Meiqin scanned it with her wristwatch, immediately inhaling sharply.

The Midnight Pumpkin Carriage, SS-Class, with potential for growth, came from the Dark Fairy Tale World. Rarity: only three in existence, possessing seven major skill effects.

Spirit Bullet Generation, able to create various types of spirit energy bullets according to the master’s ability, with offensive, curse, or healing effects, note: they can also be stored ordinarily for unforeseen needs.

Posessing the Life Fireworks skill, able to bring down group healing magic within a specified range, healing wounds, restoring physical strength, note: after one use, it requires a twenty-four-hour cooldown.

Transformation, can automatically become a vehicle that matches the entered Theme World, not restricted.

Miniaturization, can become an accessory, worn on the body, not restricted for use when wristwatches are disabled.

Levitation, upon injecting life energy, it can travel above the ground, not affected by terrain, capable of ascending up to a hundred meters.

Defense, automatically forms an energy shield that can block most SS-Class attacks.

Healing, within the carriage, comes equipped with recovery spells that slow down the worsening of injuries.

"Absolutely top-notch!" Even Dantai, usually so composed, couldn’t help but swallow and exclaim after reading the prop’s description. These seven attributes, while not heaven-defyingly strong, were too practical, greatly increasing chances of survival.

The Conquerors all nodded in agreement. Not to mention the integration of offense and defense, the healing ability and mobility alone were desirable, but the potential for growth was enough to drive anyone mad. They knew that Tang Zheng’s Bug Heart was also a life-saving top-tier artifact.

"Who knows who has the other two carriages, it’d be great if it were unique." Lu Fan sighed wistfully, then looked towards Tang Zheng with a beaming smile.

"Be content," Tang Zheng said, ruffling Lu Fan’s hair, but deep down he was wondering. The little loli hadn’t said it outright, but her expression betrayed her desire for it. In past games, this had never happened.

The other conquerors weren’t much better, all eagerly watching their group leader, waiting for his distribution decision.

Tang Zheng casually gestured, and the Midnight Pumpkin Carriage turned into an exquisitely small ornament, flying into his hand.

"Give it to Xueqi," Tang Zheng didn’t hesitate in the slightest as he tossed it to Gu Xiaohua, who was sitting on the ground treating her injuries. She had fought so desperately; she definitely wasn’t an impostor.

Everyone was shocked, especially the clones, who were nearly driven crazy. They felt that for such a premium prop, Tang Zheng might have some selfishness and distribute it among the old team members; that way, their chances of getting it would be very high. They had even begun to consider how, if Tang Zheng hoarded the good equipment for himself, they would corner him and make him give it up, but he had chosen the most unlikely outcome of all.

Gu Xueqi was also stunned for a moment. She had never thought that she would be given such a premium item. Catching it subconsciously, she couldn’t help but gaze at Tang Zheng in amazement.

"Not bad, Xueqi has put in a lot of effort this time, and the Midnight Pumpkin Carriage is most suitable for her," Mu Nianqi actually saw Tang Zheng in a new light, his willingness to distribute the spoils of war so generously spoke volumes of his magnanimity; it was no wonder everyone respected him.

"I put in effort too," said Bai Guo, who had suffered severe injuries, grumbling dissatisfiedly.

"The carriage’s attack and defense aren’t high, but it emphasizes mobility and healing. Gu Xueqi, being the only healer, should rightfully own it," Dantai knew once Tang Zheng made a decision, he wouldn’t go back on his word. He immediately recognized this distribution decision while showing his authority as deputy group leader and lowering Tang Zheng’s guard.

The Special Agent knew that Tang Zheng had suspicions about their half-hearted behavior during the battle.

"And that Spirit Bullet Generation ability. Xiaohua can make and store some healing bullets during normal times. That way, she doesn’t have to worry about running out of life energy too early during intense battles," Teng Yuangxiang, knowing she had no right to ask for it, commented to curry favor.

"That settles it," Tang Zheng waved his hand. His strong prestige silenced the Conquerors, who accepted the outcome.

"Thank you!" Clutching the Midnight Pumpkin Carriage, Gu Xueqi felt a moistness in the corners of her eyes. It turned out she hadn’t been marginalized after all; the Group Leader still valued her.

"What about the Crystal Shoes? They’re not bad either!" Lu Fan picked up the shoes and tossed them to Tang Zheng.

Cinderella’s Rose Crystal Shoes, an SSS Grade Item, had six abilities.

Disguise: The wearer could automatically transform into the appearance and dress of the natives after entering any world.

Consciousness stripping: The wearer’s eyes could shoot light beams that, upon hitting the target, could forcibly alter their perception and recognition of the wearer, controlling them for ten minutes. Note: This effect could be dispelled or purified and was only effective on humanoid creatures.

Charm: It increased the wearer’s charisma. They could shoot arrows of love, enslaving those hit. Note: Effective only on the opposite sex.

Flight: It allowed the wearer to fly freely in the sky, ignoring the bonds of gravity.

Location teleportation: When the heel of the Crystal Shoes stepped on a certain person, it set a coordinate, allowing for direct teleportation to their side within a certain range.

Rose Crystal Wall: It could create an energy shield that could withstand most SS-level attacks, with a certain chance of reflecting attacks.

Team Warhammer, having many women, grew restless at the sight of such glamorous equipment.

"Mu Nianqi, it’s yours," Tang Zheng did not want to come off as a pervert, naturally, he couldn’t wear it. Among others, Mu Nianqi had put in the most effort and had the qualifications to get it. As for the others, he wasn’t sure whether they were genuine, so he didn’t want to inadvertently aid the enemy.

"Give it to Gu Xueqi. As long as she’s alive, our combat power will increase by several grades," Mu Nianqi wasn’t a petty person. Besides, she was highly capable and had some trump cards up her sleeve, so it was better to use such equipment to enhance the team’s strength.

"Thank you." Gu Xueqi obtained two premium items in one go, a better haul than some of the old team members, which made Teng Yuangxiang green with envy.

Pang Meiqin was indifferent; after all, Xiaohua was a healer. In a team battle, she would undoubtedly be a prime target; if she died, it wouldn’t be long until a team annihilation.

Teng Yuangxiang felt that Queen Mu had selfish motives, because in a fierce battle, whoever Gu Xueqi healed first would have a greater chance of survival.

Queen Mu couldn’t be bothered with Teng Little Three, too proud to stoop to such pettiness.

"Finished the potion?" Tang Zheng approached Bai Guo to check her wound and intentionally touched her chest to test her reaction.

Natural Stupid nodded, her usual shyness much diminished. This caused Tang Zheng’s frown to be imperceptible, and he dismissed the thought of summoning Daylily to heal her.

"Is this mission a failure then?" Jing Lan glanced at the living room, a total mess, with the Prince’s Corpse taken away, and the king smashed into pulp by the ceiling.

"Killing the corrupted Cinderella, mission completion is only at 70%. Therefore, your rest privileges are revoked, and the fourth phase of the mission begins."

Trojan’s cold announcement, like a Warhammer, heavily smashed down on everyone’s heads.

The newbies suddenly collapsed, and Bai Guo’s face turned pale as well. Heavily injured and without a chance to rest, her death seemed nearly certain.

Gu Xueqi did not curse her fate but instead seized every moment to heal. (To be continued. If you like this work, please visit Qidian to cast your recommendation votes and monthly votes. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
