NOVEL NEXT Chapter 62 - A Silly Cutie Takes the Stage
“Skeleton Big Brother, who’s coming?” Zhang Mengmeng straightened her clothes and stepped out from behind the broken pillar.
She wore a red robe with gold trim, wielding a blood-red gem staff, her beauty striking.
Even Jiang Cheng couldn’t help but admire her. Zhang Mengmeng’s looks were exceptional indeed.
The red color suited her perfectly, adding a touch of elegance.
As long as she kept quiet, no one would guess her true nature.
“It’s nothing. Just testing out some new skills with some players,” Jiang Cheng shrugged, not expecting her to grasp the situation.
“Oh, okay.” Of course, Zhang Mengmeng didn’t quite get it. She pretended to study her stats. But when she received two notifications, she jumped with joy.
“Wow, Skeleton Big Brother, I made it onto two more leaderboards!”
She topped both the Weapon Rankings and the Magic Attack Power Rankings.
【Weapon Rankings】
1st Place: A Silly Cutie, Weapon: [Blood Raven’s Fury Staff] [Purple Rare] Level 25
2nd Place: Sword God – Xie Changkong, Weapon: [Raging Greatsword] [Blue Elite] Level 15
3rd Place: Thousand Miles of Frost – Qian Shanxue, Weapon: [Hurricane Gale] [Blue Elite] Level 15
She dominated the Weapon Rankings, surpassing two legendary players and surpassing them by 10 levels!
Her weapon’s quality was also a tier higher, boosting her stats significantly.
Being 1st on the Weapon Rankings earned her ten strengthening stones daily to enhance weapons.
These purple-grade stones were valuable, each selling for about a gold coin or 100,000 yuan.
But Zhang Mengmeng wasn’t greedy. She handed them to Jiang Cheng without hesitation. “Here you go, Skeleton Big Brother.”
Jiang Cheng smiled, accepting the stones graciously.
He needed to see if they could enhance his weapons.
[Insufficient material level. Unable to strengthen. Please use Legendary-grade Stones for enhancement.]
“It works, just the stones are too low-level,” Jiang Cheng thought.
He returned the stones to A Silly Cutie.
Then, to her surprise, he lifted her and dashed behind the broken pillars.
“Ah…” Caught off guard, Zhang Mengmeng’s heart raced.
“Uh…what are you doing…” She blushed as he held her.
“Stay quiet,” he gestured, preparing to let her face the players first to draw their fire.
He couldn’t always protect her. It was time for her to grow up.
When she couldn’t hold on, he’d pull her back with his chain scythe.
Zhang Mengmeng felt dazed as shouts and spells filled the air.
“Explosive Flame!”
“Explosive Flame!”
“Explosive Flame!”
“Gale Arrow!”
“–5!”
“–5.”
“–1.”
Players inside the temple focused on Zhang Mengmeng atop the broken pillar.
Seventy-eight damage values appeared above her head as she lost 352 HP!
But she reacted quickly.
Raising her staff, she chanted, “By decree of the Netherworld God, transform and be reborn!”
Thirty-six skeletons emerged, surprising the Tianxiu Guild players and causing chaos.
