Chapter 69: Windfall
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
After the battle began, Lin Shuang was fully armed. He held the Frost Armor Shield in one hand to support the protective shield that protected his entire body and the Sword of God in the other. He activated the Peerless Grass Cutting Mode.
Every time he attacked and slashed, he could kill dozens of Frost Worm larva. When he used his professional skill, he could instantly clear out more than a hundred Frost Worm larva within ten meters.
However, even Lin Shuang, who had such strong attack power, could not kill monsters as quickly as Qian Shanxue, the archer.
With Lin Shuang’s help, Qian Shanxue, who had already changed into a full set of Purple equipment, could deal more than 2,000 damage with a casual attack. It might not be enough to deal with other high-level wild monsters, but against low-level wild monsters like the Frost Worm larva with only 1,000 health points, it was a different story.
Qian Shanxue, who was flying high in the sky, used the agility of her Frost Wings to dodge the corrosive frost poison that occasionally flew into the sky. As she used the only area-of-effect skill she had learned, ten thousand arrows shot at the Frost Worm larva on the ground.
Due to Qian Shanxue occupying the high ground, every time she fired ten thousand arrows at the same time, she could cover a large portion of the Frost Worm larva, causing hundreds of casualties.
With the cooperation of the two of them, in just five minutes, the tens of thousands of Frost Worms in the entire underground karst cave were completely wiped out by the two of them.
However, perhaps it was because the Frost Worm larva’s level was too low compared to the two of them, other than dropping a large number of copper and silver coins, there was not even a piece of Green equipment.
Fortunately, when a large number of dropped items appeared and players could not quickly pick them up, the system would automatically activate the pick-up function to help players pick up their dropped items.
Looking at the interface that was constantly expanding and quickly exceeding a hundred gold coins, and the wealth that was still increasing, their faces revealed extreme joy. However, before the two of them could be happy for a moment, countless Frost Worm larvae began to crawl out of the deep pools on the ground of the underground karst cave.
In the few seconds that the two of them were stunned, more than a thousand Frost Worm larva crawled out of the deep pool and spat corrosive cold poison at the two of them.
Facing the Frost Worm larva that appeared again, Lin Shuang changed his previous disgust and looked at the Frost Worm larva that kept crawling out of the deep pool with shining eyes. Qian Shanxue, who had originally felt disgusted, changed her usual behavior. What crawled out of the deep pool in her eyes was not wild monsters, but countless gold coins.
Then, without another word, the two of them began to cut the grass again, crazily harvesting the lives of the Frost Worm larva. The two people who were harvesting crazily wished they could grow eight arms to help them harvest their “wealth”. After all, this kind of windfall might only happen once in their lives. Of course, they would get as much as they could.
Time passed quickly as the two of them crazily harvested their “wealth.” Almost an hour had passed since the two of them began to kill the Frost Worm larva.
At this moment, the two of them were in pain and joy. While enjoying the crazy increase in wealth on the interface, they mechanically waved the weapons in their hands to harvest the wild monsters.
After almost an hour of repetition, the two of them were already extremely tired of this action. If not for the continuous increase in gold coins and the goal of completing the mission, the two of them had long begun to give up. They would have committed suicide or sent each other off to revive back to their birth point.
Half an hour later, after an hour and a half of harvesting, no more Frost Worms crawled out of the deep pool. The two of them, who were mentally numb, had yet to recover in the few minutes after the Frost Worm larva was killed.
It was not until Qian Shanxue unintentionally shot an arrow at Lin Shuang and crippled the last bit of durability of the Frost Armor Shield in his hand that the two of them regained their senses.
Lin Shuang, who had returned to his senses, looked at the empty underground karst cave and the deep pool that no longer crawled out of the wild monsters. He instantly heaved a sigh of relief and slumped to the ground. “As expected of a dungeon with a system notification of extremely dangerous. If not for the fact that the two of us have high attack power and high endurance, we would have long been devoured by this group of Frost Worm larva.
“However, this is not a loss. Although we used many potions to recover stamina and mana, killing so many wild monsters has dropped more than a thousand gold coins. It far exceeds the total value of the potions we consumed.
“Qian Shanxue, after this wave of wild monsters, I dropped 1,359 gold coins. What about you?”
After Lin Shuang, who was sitting on the ground, finished speaking, Qian Shanxue, who was flying in the sky, came back to her senses. After landing beside Lin Shuang, she sat on the ground in the same position as him. “As I occupied the high ground, I displayed the characteristics of the Archer profession to the extreme, so I killed more wild monsters than you. But because I’m not as lucky as you, most of the coins dropped were copper coins. So although I killed more than you, it wasn’t much. Only 1,565 gold coins.”
Hearing Qian Shanxue’s words, Lin Shuang laughed and said to her, “You’re too unlucky! The wild monsters you killed exceeded me by at least double, and the gold coins dropped were only more than 200 more than mine. Hahahaha!”
Faced with Lin Shuang’s teasing, Qian Shanxue looked at him helplessly. “Don’t you know your luck? This is the drop rate of ordinary players. Your drop rate with minimum silver coins and minimum Purple equipment is abnormal!”
Hearing Qian Shanxue’s answer, Lin Shuang, who was laughing, revealed an annoying expression. “Aiya, who asked me to be so lucky? Why don’t I lend you something from me before you eliminate the wild monsters next time so that you can get some of my luck?”
As soon as Lin Shuang said this, Qian Shanxue immediately revealed a disdainful expression. “Forget it! No matter how unlucky I am, I won’t borrow something from you to change my luck. Who knows if you’re thinking about my body? What if you have any evil thoughts?”
Faced with Qian Shanxue’s disdain, Lin Shuang immediately retorted. “Wake up. You’re already daydreaming. I don’t have the money for an air strip.”
Qian Shanxue was stunned by Lin Shuang’s random words. She didn’t know what he was talking about. Just as she was about to ask, a thought flashed through her mind and she understood what he meant.
Qian Shanxue, who had reacted, was instantly so angry that she exploded on the spot. Although she was not considered big, she was at least a B. Lin Shuang actually called her an air strip!
Qian Shanxue was about to stand up and teach Lin Shuang a lesson so that he would know the price of slandering others. This is when the entire underground karst cave suddenly began to tremble violently. The fluorite at the top and the not-so-hard stalactites began to fall.
