In the eyes of the Bear Nation professionals, Zhang Yue's act of killing a god-level boss in three seconds was directly godlike.
Their admiration for Zhang Yue also deepened a little.
Little did they know, for Zhang Yue, this was just an everyday occurrence.
After the battle ended, Zhang Yue ordered the Skeleton King to pick up the loot dropped by the boss.
He glanced at the corpse of the Blood Wolf Uno, feeling slightly absent-minded.
Because this matter was too strange.
Why did this boss, who was fine, stare at Zhang Yue the whole day?
Moreover, according to the information obtained through the SS-level scouting skill, the description section of Blood Wolf Uno reads: [Servant devoted to darkness, Blood Wolf Uno, will willingly offer everything to darkness, even life...]
For some reason, Zhang Yue had a gut feeling.
That was: this matter was not that simple, and this god-level boss definitely did not appear in his sight by coincidence.
Or perhaps, it wasn't as complicated as Zhang Yue imagined.
"Could it be that I'm overthinking it..."
As soon as the Skeleton King brought the boss loot over, Zhang Yue signed for it, then bid farewell to Athena and the others before turning to leave.
Looking at Zhang Yue's gradually departing back, Dragon Tamer Axe sighed, "For the Dragon Nation to have such a professional powerhouse born in this generation, I truly feel happy for them!"
"Indeed," Athena said, "May our ally, the Dragon Nation, become more and more prosperous!"
"All members, return to the Nation!", With Athena's command, the Bear Nation professionals also withdrew from the War God Hall.
Just as Zhang Yue and the Bear Nation professionals had left not long ago.
In the darkness, a pair of eyes suddenly appeared...
———
On the other side, Zhang Yue left the Death Territory and returned to the National Territory.
[World 17 Safe Zone: Magic Town]
Inside the small town, magic merchants purchasing magic stones could be seen everywhere.
At this moment, many professionals who had spent the day grinding in the wild were returning to the town, submitting their daily earnings of magic stones to these merchants in exchange for rewards.
What they submitted were mostly first-tier, second-tier, and third-tier magic stones.
And not in large quantities.
Zhang Yue casually found a magic merchant named Cass to exchange rewards.
"Young man, as long as you have enough magic stones, you can exchange anything you want from me."
Just as he finished speaking—
When Cass saw the full storage space Zhang Yue opened, packed with third-tier, fourth-tier, and even fifth-tier magic stones, his pupils instantly dilated, his mouth opening wide enough to fit a durian.
Overjoyed, Cass casually opened a list and said to Zhang Yue, "Come, all the rewards listed here have price tags. Check them and exchange based on your needs!"
14-Star Magic Power Set — Price: 1000 third-tier magic stones!
SS-level rare skill book — Price: 500 fourth-tier magic stones!
Epic-grade treasure — Price: 100 fifth-tier magic stones...
The stuff here was indeed good.
But how to say it, it still didn't meet Zhang Yue's expectations.
After all, Zhang Yue already had a 15-star transcendent set, SSS-level unique skills, and even 5S-level forbidden spells.
His treasures were all legendary or mythical grade.
These rewards were just so-so.
Zhang Yue was slightly disappointed.
Just then, Cass suddenly sized up Zhang Yue and said, "Young man, I see you're extraordinarily gifted, a once-in-a-generation genius."
"I have a secret manual here. If you're willing to give me all your magic stones, I'll teach you this secret manual. How about it?"
Zhang Yue looked at the so-called "secret manual" in Cass's hand, it was actually a quest scroll.
'Hidden quest?'
Zhang Yue was a little interested.
After all, exchanging the magic stones for rewards wouldn't get him anything particularly great.
This hidden quest might be more valuable.
So Zhang Yue agreed, "Deal."
He handed over all the magic stones to Cass and received the scroll.
He immediately crushed it.
[Ding~ Congratulations on obtaining the hidden quest [Source of Magic]!]
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
[Source of Magic] (Hidden Quest)
[Difficulty Rating: 5200]
[Description: The end of magic is greater magic. In this world filled with magic, magic stones are everyone's lifelong pursuit. Please explore and collect 500 fifth-tier magic stones and hand them over to the magic merchant Cass.]
[Quest Progress: 0/500 (Fifth-Tier Magic Stones)]
[Quest Reward: Unknown]
[Time Limit: Five Days]
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
He checked.
This quest had no historical records in the world of Otherworld.
Clearly, it was a new quest that emerged with the opening of the new continent, the Death Territory.
After all, without the Death Territory, collecting 500 fifth-tier magic stones in five days, just within the World 17, would have been impossible.
It was getting late, and Zhang Yue decided to head into the Death Territory again tomorrow.
So he logged off on the spot.
On the first day of the Otherworld server merge, it seemed this world was far from peaceful.
Or rather, human desires couldn't be vented in the previous world—
Now, in the Death Territory, they could be unleashed without restraint.
The law of the jungle, survival of the fittest, was vividly demonstrated in the Death Territory.
Here, there was no seat for the weak.
Most professionals from weak countries entering the Death Territory faced enhanced monsters as a difficulty, and were also attacked by professionals from other countries.
To seize valuable land, professionals from all nations fought fiercely among themselves.
The power and dignity of a nation were fully displayed at this moment.
After logging off, Zhang Yue joined Lin Tian, Wu Haotian, and the others who logged off around the same time. They had dinner together at the guild cafeteria, then went to rest.
Night fell and covered the land.
———
Within the borders of the Cold Nation, the capital: Han City.
[Tianjin Guild Headquarters]
Inside the meeting room, Tian You, the guild leader's biological son, tearfully complained to the guild elders:
"Seniors, you don't know! Today in the Death Territory, I was miserably bullied by Bear Nation's Athena and that Dragon Nation beastmaster Zero!"
"Seniors, you must seek justice for me!"
The senior officials of the guild all expressed different opinions: "You mean Athena the Military Blade? She's known as the number one professional powerhouse born in Bear Nation in the past decade. Her status is no joke."
"Report this matter up. A third-rate guild like us, Tianjin, how could we possibly stand against someone like Athena from Bear Nation?"
Tianjin Guild President, Tianxin, said, "I've already reported it to one of the top three guilds in Cold Nation, [Celebrities] Guild. Their president is my friend, and he's agreed to help me get revenge."
"Their main force is already prepared over at the World 18. All we need to do is wait a bit longer. When Athena arrives at the World 18, the Celebrities Guild will teach her a lesson for us!"
