Chapter 82 – Lillian

Li Cheng naturally would not let go of Lillian’s exclusive equipment. However, every piece of equipment required one trillion shadow points. Compared to the Phantom Pearl, it was countless times more expensive. The five pieces of equipment would cost him a total of five trillion shadow points!
For ordinary players, this was an impossible mission since they had only been in the game for three days. However, for Li Cheng, this was too easy. Even if it was ten times more expensive, Li Cheng could easily achieve it, let alone five trillion.
The materials catalog also had a ‘remaining quantity’ column. However, Li Cheng did not look at it. The reason was very simple. He planned to complete a big task and purchase all the items in the shop. After all, no one would complain about having too many consumables like materials.
Moreover, there was no expiration date. It was just a matter of building more warehouses. On top of that, seeing as how it was a world event, there would definitely be some rare materials listed.
As for the list of consumable items, there were all kinds of potions that players could exchange for. There were those that could recover HP, speed up their troops, and restore morale. No matter what consumable items were listed, those items also had levels. Li Cheng once again scrolled all the way to the bottom.
[Speed Scroll (Legendary), 10,000,000 shadow points. Remaining quantity: 1,000]
[Supreme Life Potion (Legendary), 10,000,000 shadow points. Remaining quantity: 1,000]
[Supreme Inspiration Scroll (Legendary), 10,000,000 shadow points. Remaining quantity: 1,000]
There were three consumable items, and they were all Legendary-grade. As for the items in the consumable list, regardless of whether they were high-level or low-level items, he planned to buy them all up.
No one would complain about having too many of these items. In the future, if he had an alchemy table, low-level potions could be synthesized into high-level ones. This way, he would have more high-level potions that could help him.
After closing the shop, Li Cheng had a plan in mind. To put it simply, he just needed to kill the monsters and earn more points!
Thinking of this, Li Cheng opened the map. Suddenly, a series of system notifications rang in his ears.
“Ding, dong, you’re currently on a special map. You’re unable to obtain any map information. Please, explore on your own!
“Ding, dong, as your hero Shadow Princess Lillian is extremely familiar with this map, all the fog of war in the current map has dispersed!
“Ding, dong, you’ve discovered the map, Shadow Swamp. As the first player in the world to discover this map, your reward is ten reputation points!
“Ding, dong, you’ve discovered the map, Ghost Beast Lair. As the first player in the world to discover this map, your reward is ten reputation points!
“Ding, dong, you’ve triggered a ten thousand times amplification and obtained one hundred thousand reputation points!
“Ding, dong, you’ve triggered a ten thousand times amplification and obtained one hundred thousand reputation points!
“Ding, dong…
“Ding, dong, you’ve completed the quest, Exploring the Shadow Swamp. Your reward is five thousand shadow points! You’ve unlocked the next phase of the quest. The related quests have been distributed. Please, take a look!
“Ding, dong, you’ve triggered a ten thousand times amplification and obtained five million shadow points!
“Ding, dong, you’ve completed the quest…
“Ding, dong, you’ve discovered the map, Shining Fortress. This map’s extremely dangerous. Please, do not approach it!
“Ding, dong, you’ve discovered the map, Shadow Mirror. This map’s extremely dangerous. Please, do not approach it!
“Ding, dong!”
The system’s notifications rang for a whole minute before it stopped. Li Cheng was also a little dumbfounded. In the end, he could not help but sigh at the Shadow World. It was indeed Lillian’s home ground, so she could be said to be very familiar with the environment here and in turn, causing the entire map to be activated immediately!
With just this step, Li Cheng was countless times ahead of the other players. Every time those players arrived at a place, they would have to carefully explore the map, afraid that they would accidentally encounter some terrifying creature’s nest.
However, Li Cheng was different. He knew where there were high-level monsters and where they could not go. For example, there was a bottomless whirlpool in the north. That was where the Shadow Dragon was.
In the Shadow World, even if a powerful undying God ventured there, the Shadow Dragon would be able to scatter his ashes. It was the number one forbidden ground in the Shadow World!
At the same time, as a world event, there were naturally many activities and quests. The players could at most receive one quest at the same time, and it was of the normal kind. However, Li Cheng had accepted all the quests by default, which was more than 30 quests at the same time!
After this wave of system notifications, he had completed all the exploration quests, earning himself more than 30 million reputation points. The shadow points he obtained were even more ridiculous, reaching a terrifying 1.2 billion!
Thinking of this, Li Cheng immediately looked at the map. At this time, the Shadow World had been unlocked and there were some places that even Li Cheng had not been to in the past.
In his previous life when the event had ended, the players had not explored one-tenth of the Shadow World. Li Cheng marked a few red dots on the map and laid out the route to advance. Then, he looked at Lillian and said, “Lillian, check if there are any problems with my route.”
Lillian looked at it then pondered for a moment. After silently modifying a few places on the map, she said to Li Cheng, “This way, there won’t be any problems, Lord.”
At first glance, Lillian’s marks did not seem to follow common sense. There were some places where they would take a detour and then turn back. However, Li Cheng nodded in response.
The Shadow World was different from the main world. The path that one should venture on was also extremely special. Sometimes, one might appear to have only taken a single step, but in the reality of the Shadow World, one had already taken countless steps.
Therefore, Lillian’s role in this event was truly too great, as expected of her old nest. She was indeed worthy of being an SSS-class hero who did not even need to use an advancement stone. She was simply a cheat-like existence!
Compared to the other female heroes, even Frost Princess Sylvia had used an advancement stone before. Among the current few heroes he had, only Lillian was an original SSS-class hero!
After setting up the battle plan, Li Cheng led his troops to move quickly. The first red dot he marked was the lair of a specter beast.
A normal two-headed ghost beast was a level 20 tier four monster. Li Cheng remembered that there were many level 50 Gold-grade bosses in the lair. He could use them to level up, seeing how he was really short of experience points at the moment.
Looking into the lair, there was nothing there. However, Li Cheng knew that there were at least hundreds of thousands of ghost beasts hidden in there. If a player barged into the lair, he would not even have the time nor the place to cry.
Thinking of this, Li Cheng did not hesitate and immediately ordered, “In five minutes, clear this lair for me!”
