Chapter 95 - Map Upgrade – The Intermediate Map
A monotonous voice resounded across the world, unhurriedly reciting the report.
While Luo Yao was still in a daze, a notification appeared in front of her.
[You have received 100 gold coins and 100 experience points]
She stared blankly at the message, and her eyes remained glued to the space as it disappeared.
It took her some moments before she gradually came back to her senses.
“This…” Luo Yao trailed off.
She did not know what to say.
To Luo Yao, this World Announcement was like hearing the news about an ordinary five-year-old child becoming the world’s richest man due to their wit and intelligence.
Hearing such ridiculous news, anyone would be stunned before they gradually turned into disbelief.
“What! How is this possible?”
“Are you kidding me?”
“Where did that kid get the money to run a business?”
“They’re already learned how to write and do business at the age of five?”
“How could they make so much money at such a young age? How did they manage to do it in a short amount of time?”
Many people would find too many things to complain about.
And similarly…
Many players gathered together, complaining and refusing to believe what they had just witnessed. They were also trying to get her to join the discussion when they saw her.
Seeing this, Luo Yao could only sigh.
“Forget it,” She said.
Luo Yao didn’t care anymore. “Do whatever you want. I’ll just do my own thing.”
She rubbed her eyebrows helplessly, no longer wanting a chance to investigate this whole mess.
Although the World Announcement did not say who it was, everyone in the world knew that the person mentioned must be District 66 “Comet Boss”.
There was no one else that would fit the bill.
“However,”
When she thought about how this Comet Boss had the strength to defeat the Beast King all on his own, Luo Yao couldn’t help but feel excited.
“It seems like there’s hope for District 87! This is great!” She jumped up in excitement.
It was also at this time that a few more pieces of notification appeared in front of everyone in District 66.
[District Announcement: The Beast King of this district has been defeated. This district’s level has been upgraded to an intermediate map. Level 6- 10 Main road is open]
[Prompt: The original map has been expanded and updated. A new intermediate wilderness scene has been added.]
[Current Map Level Limit: 60]
[Prompt: You can enter the ‘Great World’ now!]
‘Oh, that’s right.‘
‘After defeating the beginner level Beast King, the contents of the intermediate level map will be released. Our map has been promoted to an intermediate map.‘
Luo Yao didn’t really care about the map’s level-up prompts.
Her level was still low, so even if she advanced, it wouldn’t affect her much.
And now…
She couldn’t wait to find the Comet Boss!
…
[Remaining Time From Descent: 3 minutes]
“Haaaa….” Ling Yi let out a long sigh of relief, his body relaxing.
After nearly three hours of intense fighting, he was physically and mentally drained.
The constant chipping and defending and the stamina drain and restoration were taking a toll on him, and all he wanted to do now was to take a long nap.
‘We finally killed the Beast King.‘
Ling Yi couldn’t help but feel lucky as he looked at the fallen Beast King that had turned into countless white light spots and disappeared into the sky.
He turned to look at the Ice Queen, who had flown back to his side, “Xiao Bing, it’s all thanks to your [Frost Cell’s Sky Prison Attraction] that we managed to win. Otherwise, killing it at the last moment would have been tough.” He praised her.
The move had broken the [Bubble Shield], enabling his [Starfall] to land a direct hit and successfully hit a high damage output.
He didn’t see exactly how much damage the [Starfall] had caused because the Beast King had already been submerged in a sea of fire by then.
In any case, the Super Bubble Monster had lost over 14.63% of its health after the explosion from the two [Starfall].
Hearing the praise, the Ice Queen’s pure white eyes showed a touch of joy.
She nodded slightly and fixed her plain eyes on her master’s face, carefully examining the latter’s face.
After staring at him for a while, she turned her body into countless blue light dots and entered Ling Yi’s body gently and slowly.
She could read her master’s mind, know when to appear when to enter, and what her master wanted to do. She knew everything in his heart.
After the Ice Queen returned, Ling Yi wasn’t in a hurry to summarize his spoils and gains. Instead, he shifted his gaze to a place a few kilometers away.
Through [Aeolus’ Call], he could sense a few players nearby.
Among them, a familiar figure entered his field of vision before they suddenly disappeared.
If he was not wrong, that should be Luo Yao.
The wind from [Aeolus’ Call] had remembered her physical characteristics when they met yesterday, which made it easier for him to recognize her approaching figure.
Ling Yi thought for a moment and decided to go over and take a look.
A few seconds later, that silhouette appeared again in the corner of his eye. Ling Yi flew straight over.
And he was right
“Eh? Big Boss, Big Boss! I’m here!” Luo Yao jumped up and waved her arms as soon as she noticed him approaching.
A gentle breeze blew across the ground, sweeping away the sand and dirt on the ground. Ling Yi slowly landed in front of her.
“Is there something you need from me? Are you already level 10?” He asked her the moment he landed.
“Yes, yes, yes!” Luo Yao nodded excitedly, “I just reached level 10, so I came straight over to give you what I promised you.”
She took out [Heavenly Spring’s Soul] from her inventory and handed it to Ling Yi.
It was an oval-shaped stone with a smooth surface, emitting a faint warm, yellow light.
Ling Yi reached out to take it. The stone slid into his palm like an egg that had just been scooped out of water. It was warm.
Interestingly enough, he held it in his hand and thought that he could use this stone as a hand warmer.
Luo Yao watched as the Comet Boss played with the stone in hand and sensed that the guy wasn’t in a hurry, so she said, “Uhm, when do you plan to apply for the rescue plan? ”
“Hmmm…” Ling Yi lowered his head as his mind raced to calculate the time.
‘The Super Bubble Monster is considered the weakest Beast King. The five-crowned Dragon will be much stronger than the beginners’ map monster king. Not only that, he would have to worry about the other small monsters of District 87. Not to mention the Boss and Elite monsters…‘
“With my current strength, I can challenge the Beast King, but I’m still not confident if I could defeat it…”
While fighting the Super Bubble Monster, he realized that his current stamina was his significant disadvantage.
Battling against the Super Bubble Monster was still okay. He had a clear advantage this time because the Beast King couldn’t fly or have any long-range Skills, so it was easy for him to avoid its attacks.
However, the same strategy or attributes couldn’t be applied when he battled against the five-crested Dragon.
And who knows, the dragon might be smart enough to aim straight at him with or without the Ice Queen attacking it.
If he lost his stamina at the critical moment, all his efforts would be in vain.
This was something he had to put an end to!
He could choose to replicate the Ice Queen’s endurance to solve this problem, but he was reluctant to give up this 900 points of mana.
“Mm…” After pondering for a while, he finally said, “I think I would have to wait a little longer. I have to increase my stamina a little more,”
“Ah, okay!” Luo Yao replied in a serious tone, “Yes. The stronger you are, the more confident you will be. After all, everybody only has one chance to apply for the rescue operation.”
“Big Brother, you’re the most promising person to be able to win this right now. As long as you take it slow, I can guarantee your high success rate. It would be such a pity if we were to be too anxious and end up failing.”
Feeling a little scared that Comet Boss might think she was rushing him, she quickly added, “I’m not in a hurry, not at all. The ready you are, the better it’ll be.”
“Yes.” Ling Yi nodded, and their conversation ended there.
There were only a few seconds left before the descent.
“Then, Big Brother, I’ll see you next time? Bye Bye.” Luo Yao smiled and waved at him.
After that, both of them disappeared from Turtleneck Rock.
