Chapter 174: Absolute Zero

(Chapter dedicated to LotusLin for the magic castle.)

"Copper coins!" Li Chunhua exclaimed, planning to pick up the money, when she noticed the dragon was slowly getting smaller. Its red scales and the karmic fire wrapping around its form alss vanished.

"Kya." A gentle and weak sound different from the ear-splitting roar a while ago came out of its mouth as it fell.

The three were startled and raised their arms to catch the dragon, which had now returned to its little karmic lotus appearance, regaining its 16 petal leaves.

It landed on Li Chunhua’s arms, asleep and snoring. She hurriedly checked its status, and when she noticed the debuff of [Hungry], she was relieved and went to feed it.

"Here." Long Haoran took out dishes for her when he saw the debuff too before picking up the loots so she wouldn’t be exhausted.

The little lotus, after smelling the scent of food, woke up and devoured it fast.

This day they had a massive harvest, and tonight Long Haoran planned to cook until morning to stock up on food for him, her, and his brother.

[You’ve got a copper coin...+1...+1...+1...]

[You’ve got a pound of premium-quality ice-mutant silver-back raptor meat...+1...+1...+1...]

Long Haoran continued picking up the loot until he came across a scroll.

[You’ve got Ice Raptor Beam (B-level) Skill Scroll]

"I found this." He gave the scroll to Li Chunhua, and the latter, who had been worrying about ice in the future, learned it on the spot.

"I can have iced happy fat water forever!"

She tried the ice beam and the scorched land within a five hundred-meter radius, turning the place into a winter wonderland including the loots and remnants of the one-side roasting into ice sculptures.

Long Haoran and Little Ginseng looked at her, asking for an explanation. The boss’s ice beam’s range was only 20 meters and hers was clearly beyond that.

Li Chunhua was also confused.

[Due to an unknown reason, the Skill Ice Raptor Beam (B-level) had mutated to Absolute Zero (SS-level).]

To make the matters worse, Long Haoran tried to chip off the ice with a dagger but the blade broke into two.

He stared at her again. 눈_눈 How will I pick up the loots?

Li Chunhua: (ㆆ_ㆆ) How is she going to make ice cubes with that?

[Global Announcement: Congratulations to Player Anonymous of Newbie Mountain No. 27 for being the third player to successfully kill a Hidden Elite Boss. [Rewarding 500 Earth Points and a silver chest.]

[Brother Niu]: It’s all yours! It’s all yours! These freaks of nature are hogging all the rewards. I bet they were supermen, batmen, or grandmasters of jujitsu in their past lives.

The player never knew what level the bosses that were killed were at, and if they did, one can only wonder if they would have passed out from sheer shock. It was only Day 5, and some players were able to cross levels and kill those level 30 behemoths.

Every player had been speculating whether these anonymous big shots were just lucky and were able to summon high-ranking natives or were able to draw SSS-level skills, but upon remembering the events even before the class pool was opened, they discarded the first idea.

Just what kind of native did they manage to get? So far, the highest rank of any native summon was a 4-star, and it was Templar High Priest with astounding healing ability, and the one who summoned it was a player called Scarlet Tempest, a mage, the leader of Riveting Winds Faction, second place in weekly disaster.

Another one was Player Hail Harem Emperor, leader of the team Celestial Place, who summoned a beautiful 4-star Succubus and planned to take that girl as his wife. Those single dogs had been bashing him for posting his daily dose of PDA in the global chat.

[Beef Noodles]: All we have are crumbs and leftovers compared to them. I wonder what those high-level chests contain.

The other players were very bitter toward the No. 27 peeps after those people went to flex their bronze equipment in the global chat. One piece of it was able to grant 20–40 stats, or a 5%–7% boost, which made others grit their teeth.

So far, the highest quality of equipment obtained from killing monsters was copper, and it was already the source of envy, and teams would pay an exorbitant price for one.

While some also obtained unknown items like strange seeds and ores, they were swept into the market the moment they were hung. Even though players didn’t know their uses, some still collected them.

[Sun Emperor]: Do any of you know this anonymous player?

[Brother Niu]: You’re on the same mountain as him. You should have better information than us.

Sun Qinghe was enraged. If he knows, why would he ask in the global chat? Unfortunately, even after spending money to buy information, all he got was either vague or useless. No one knows who these mysterious players are.

Recalling all those territory crystals they have gotten from the deceased players, Sun Qinghe was determined to defeat these players and snatch all those resources, and one day he will get to that mountain peak and take all those treasures too.

Dragons were the symbols of prosperity and wealth. He heard from his subordinates and those players who were professional game addicts that those creatures might have left something valuable on the mountain. Too bad, no one was able to get past the 200-meter vicinity of the foot of the mountain because it was filled with level 5 and above groups of monsters, just like the forbidden zone.

Therefore, almost everyone decided to visit that place after the monster tide.

"Let’s go. Those who already can choose class will choose wisely and help others, while those who aren’t yet will not be able to go back into the territory unless they become level 5 before the end of the day." Sun Qinghe spoke towards the group of natives and subordinates of his.

Those who were still level 3 and level 4 panicked and surrounded those level 5 handing fees. Sun Qinghe turned a blind eye to these.

Suddenly, something emerged from the shadow of his. It was short, human-like, and had black hair and red eyes, but its ears were long and pointed. Half of its face was covered by a black scarf; it was dressed in a ninja suit; and it had daggers and shurikens on its belt.

"I found several territories nearby." The shadow ninja spoke behind Sun Qinghe in a low voice.

"Good job, lad. Lead a team there to ambush the players." Sun Qinghe cackled at the additional resources.

"Yes, Master." The shadow nodded, and its body vanished into thin smoke.

Meanwhile, Meng Chu, after receiving Li Chunhua’s message that the problem was solved, was shocked.

The little fox and Elga were behind him, clutching his hair, almost turning him bald from anxiousness.

"How is Master?" The two asked at once and Meng Chu showed them Li Chunhua’s message.

[Little Baozi]: The territory is alright. You can continue level up. If another one comes up. I’ll have them roasted and freeze to death.

Elga and Little Mantou: "..." Why does it sound so arrogant but believable at the same time?

Meng Chu was also thinking the same and asked them, "Should we continue or go back?"

"Let’s go level up. Some of you hadn’t still reached level 5."

With the crisis is lifted, the grinding team resumed their hacking journey.

---

However, contrary to them, Li Chunhua was facing a crisis because Chef Long’s reserves almost became empty but the little lotus had not stop eating.

"That’s enough." Li Chunhua took away the plate of siomai.

The little lotus cried. "Kya! Kya!"

Recalling how it cried before it turned to a dragon, Li Chunhua was afraid of getting roasted and surrendered. "Here..."

"Kya!" (Mama, thank you!)

Li Chunhua: 〒▽〒 It’s another glutton. Her share will be reduced again. This class is clearly forcing her on a diet.
