Virus King - Chapter 243

Chapter 243: Group Chat No. 001 Members’ Harvest Celebration!

TL: YYang

Ma Er was indeed right. It was truly a big drop! The death of three demonic beasts resulted in a total of eight items dropping. Compared to before, when they struggled immensely to kill that River-Swallowing Toad and only got a single demonic beast core, this drop rate was impressively high.

Chen Bai glanced over the items, and they were quite decent. Besides the three cores, there were also two contribution tokens recording 2 and 3 points. Additionally, there was even a skill book and two pieces of equipment.

The skill book’s grade was not low, much stronger than the previous Water Accumulation Technique, and quite practical!

[Bull Demon Blood Surge Technique (C-Rank): Active skill, increases all attributes by 50%, but decreases by 5% every five seconds, lasting for 100 seconds! Cooldown: 15 minutes!]

This ability seemed quite tricky. After all, it lasted for 100 seconds, with the first fifty seconds being the amplification period, reaching its peak. However, the remaining fifty seconds gradually reduced to 50% of its original state! But once the time ended, there were no aftereffects.

It seemed like endless trouble, but in reality, it was a great means for desperate situations. Chen Bai was slightly tempted, but it seemed meaningless to him. He didn’t need to risk his life, and this Bull Demon Blood Surge Technique was not even worth a hair compared to Inferno Burn.

Naturally, there was no need to learn it. Besides the skill book, the two pieces of equipment were also quite good!

One was an armor seemingly woven from the fine scales of that black python. Just a glance was enough to know that the armor’s effect was extremely outstanding!

[Black Scale Soft Armor (C-Rank)]
[Armor—Upper Body]
[All Attributes +45]
[Serpentine Protection: Reduces the effect of all sharp attacks by 25%, all blunt attacks by 15%, and all elemental attacks by 5%]
[Scale Blast: Active ability, can cause all scales on the armor to explode outward, dealing damage! Cooldown: 2 hours!]
[Equipment Requirement: Level ≥ 15]

While weapons were precious, in the God and Devil Trial Grounds, where one only had a single life, armor was truly one of the pieces of equipment that could save you! As soon as this item appeared, everyone’s eyes turned green with envy.

Chen Bai ignored it and looked at the other item.

[Tiger Tail Whip (D-Rank)]
[Weapon—Whip]
[Strength, Agility +25]
[Firm and Flexible: Can switch modes, with the firm mode greatly enhancing armor penetration effect! The flexible mode can add an entangling effect!]
[Equipment Requirement: Level ≥ 15]

This was actually a whip weapon!? It left everyone stunned. Whip-type weapons were indeed quite rare. They were barely considered exotic equipment, quite the tricky kind. Yet, here it was.

“Second Brother, aren’t you the Heir to the Five-Strike Lightning Whip? Go ahead and give it a try, eh?”

Someone beside him egged on, naturally just joking around. However, Ma Er genuinely looked eager to try it out. It was clear that someone who gave himself such an ID truly loved this type of weapon.

He was indeed quite skilled to have obtained the God-Smiting Whip in his previous life. However, Ma Er soon shrugged helplessly and said with some regret, “It’s a bit unlikely. This thing requires level 15 to equip! It’s a pity, but it doesn’t matter. Once I reach level 15, I’ll show it off to you guys!”

The others nodded in agreement, but Shui Chuan raised an eyebrow and looked at him strangely, “Second Brother, what nonsense are you talking about? This belongs to Lord Bai. When did it become yours?”

At that moment, everyone realized they were almost fooled by him, noticing his sly intentions. Chen Bai smiled slightly, having no interest in these low-grade pieces of equipment. Only items like the Shepherd’s Horn, Hell King’s Ring, or the Spear of Longinus, Biochemical Disaster would pique his interest. These transitional pieces of equipment held no appeal for him.

Thinking of this, Chen Bai said directly, “I only want the cores and that contribution token. The rest of the equipment and skills, you can divide among yourselves later!”

“No way!” Shui Chuan said directly, “These items were all hunted by Lord Bai alone. Even if Lord Bai isn’t interested, we should still follow the rules. If we want these things, we should bid for them, and the highest bidder wins!”

Everyone was stunned, then nodded in agreement. Chen Bai didn’t care much. However, he still said directly, “Whoever wants these things, we can discuss it later! The most important thing now is to gain enough benefits in this dungeon. We can divide the spoils in the group chat later! How about this, the Demon-Sealing Pagoda is quite large, and finding all the demons on the 1st layer is not easy! It would be troublesome to search one by one. You guys find the locations of the other demonic beasts, and I’ll handle them, maximizing the one-hour stay in Mount Shu! How about it?”

Everyone exchanged glances and nodded! It had to be said, an hour passed by too quickly. Chen Bai didn’t proceed to the second layer of the Demon-Sealing Pagoda but continued hunting demonic beasts on the 1st layer. The demonic beast cores were too tempting! Each core, when consumed, increased all attributes by 10!

Unfortunately, after killing ten and consuming ten, besides Chen Bai’s level rising from 17 to 18, and all members of Group Chat No. 001 leveling up once, Chen Bai received feedback from the Cosmic Will. After consuming ten of these low-level demonic beast cores, they had no effect anymore, which Chen Bai found regrettable!

However, the other group chat members were all excited. With the participation of Lord Bai, their gains were astonishing! So astonishing that they felt as if they were being pampered. Watching their levels soar, gaining an average of one level in an hour, was self-explanatory.

Although the subsequent drops of equipment and skill books seemed to have a significantly lower drop rate, possibly due to previous luck running out, it didn’t dampen the brothers’ enthusiasm! This was a season of celebration and harvest for Group Chat No. 001!

Yet, an hour passed effortlessly! And Chen Bai, along with the Mount Shu token, returned to White Emperor City. Looking at the surrounding environment, Chen Bai couldn’t help but feel a surge of excitement. If just one Demon-Sealing Pagoda was like this, who knew what surprises Mount Shu held!
