Virus King - Chapter 111

Chapter 111: Generous Spoils! S-Rank Equipment Blueprint!

TL: YYang

An A+ Rank profession scroll—strictly speaking, it was even more valuable than the scroll for that Biofiend profession.

Additionally, it was a profession that bound itself to one’s bloodline!

If combined with the devil bloodline essence he had just condensed from the Darklight Virus, the value of these two items together was on par with that of an S-Rank profession scroll!

Looking at the scroll, Chen Bai couldn’t help but feel a bit dazed.

Then, glancing at the three teammates, he tossed it directly to Han Xiao.

“Bai, I…”

“Take it; I’m giving it to you!”

Chen Bai’s tone was calm.

He had no desire for it himself.

After all, his own profession’s requirements were already extraordinary, and the Hell Envoy profession scroll clearly held great promise for the future.

With the devil bloodline, he had a chance to attain a S-Rank profession after the second transition, perhaps even SS-Rank.

Yet even that fell short of Chen Bai’s ambitions for his profession.

Moreover, Han Xiao had discovered this secret realm, and he had his own unique quest within it. Coupled with their personal bond, Chen Bai wasn’t one to be stingy.

He had already obtained the best items from this dungeon!

The slightly bashful chubby guy accepted it and, after glancing at Meng Meng and Crow—who showed no reaction on their faces—finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Chen Bai didn’t hurry to examine the scroll further but instead picked up the skill book!

[Hell Black Flame (A-Rank): Active skill. Allows free control of a terrifying black flame from Hell through spirit power. Extremely powerful! However, it consumes a significant amount of spirit power! Cooldown: 3 minutes!]

Another A-Rank skill book!

This time, Chen Bai scanned everyone, and Crow immediately waved him off:

“Bai, I’ve said it before, I’m just a fighter. Getting this much experience is already more than enough for me! I seriously don’t need anything. My talent grants plenty of combat power! And if that’s not enough, it’s just my attributes holding me back.

So please, you keep it. Without you, there’s no way we’d have made it through this dungeon!”

Chen Bai was very satisfied with this clear understanding of his role and directly handed the skill book to Meng Meng.

Meng Meng was about to decline, but Chen Bai cut her off:

“Just consider this an IOU for some loot. Next time you find something suitable for me, you can give it to me. I really can’t use this one!”

After all, he already had an A-Rank skill he’d absorbed from the Darklight Virus, so getting another one would just be redundant!

Meng Meng thought it over and nodded, feeling particularly interested in that black flame she’d just seen.

Chen Bai took another glance around. At this moment, only two more items and a quest item—the “Dean’s Office Key”—remained.

The last two drops were a piece of equipment and an equipment blueprint!

Indeed, after the Zombie Claws and Biochemical Disaster, Chen Bai finally saw another equipment blueprint appear!

The odds were too low!

The type of this equipment blueprint was also quite interesting.

[Hell’s Call · Shepherd’s Horn– Armor: Headgear (C-Rank to S-Rank)]

[Description: A blueprint that only has a chance to drop on a first-time kill of a devil-type BOSS! It holds a fragment of Hell’s power!]

[Crafting Requirements: A pair of pureblood devil’s horns, Hellfire (Abyssal Flame), Dark Crystal x1]

(PS: The equipment grade is determined by the devil’s power. If an S-Rank ‘Shepherd’s Horn’ is produced, the blueprint’s grade will be permanently lowered, making further S-Rank ‘Shepherd’s Horns’ impossible to create.)

[Remark: It’s your passport through Hell…]

This was a blueprint where the crafting materials determined the quality of the resulting equipment!

Such a blueprint was even more valuable than his Zombie Claws, and even the upgraded Biochemical Disaster.

The main ingredients, aside from the pureblood devil’s horns, were Hellfire and a Dark Crystal.

These were incredibly rare, high-grade materials.

If these two were used to craft an item that turned out below B-Rank, it would be a waste!

But, obtaining a pureblood devil’s horns wasn’t exactly easy, was it?

Especially higher-grade horns, which seemed even harder to come by!

A thoughtful glint appeared in Chen Bai’s eyes, but it quickly faded.

Just before encountering Zhao Changlin, he suddenly recalled certain memories and data about the Red Star Psychiatric Hospital…

It seemed that obtaining a pair of pureblood devil’s horns might not be as difficult as he thought?!

As this realization hit him, Chen Bai’s eyes lit up. He cast one last glance at the final piece of equipment that had dropped.

A rather decent little piece!

It was a D-Rank item, requiring level 10.

After a quick look, he ignored Crow’s refusal and tossed the equipment over to him.

A mere transitional piece of equipment didn’t warrant much attention. Crow had come along and hadn’t gained anything substantial; even though he insisted he didn’t need anything, Chen Bai believed in the principle of “everyone gets a share,” and wasn’t about to be stingy.

Han Xiao, after receiving the profession scroll, was already thrilled, nearly forgetting his own exclusive quest in the excitement and paid no mind to the equipment.

Chen Bai gave him a reminder:

“Take the key and hurry to the Dean’s office!”

Snapping out of it, Han Xiao took the key and entered the office.

On the desk lay several trophies and a photograph of Zhao Changlin.

However, the person in the photo was a man in his sixties, not the devil they had just seen!

One noteworthy item was a special statue on the back bookshelf.

The statue depicted an extraordinarily strange devil.

It wore armor, with wings folded at its sides. But just one look inspired a powerful urge to kneel in submission!

Chen Bai fixed his gaze on this strange devil, his eyes flashing as he recalled something from his previous life.

He remembered an exalted Saint once mentioning a hidden secret within this special dungeon!

16?

It turned out to be the sixteenth one!?

Just then, a cheer of excitement broke the silence:

“I found it!”

Chen Bai turned to see Han Xiao holding a unique medical record, waving it enthusiastically at everyone.

Chen Bai quickly walked over, curious to see if Han Xiao’s quest was connected to that particular figure!
