[Special Item — ?????]
...
Line after line.
Even Su Yang was starting to feel overwhelmed.
Potions, skill scrolls, teleport scrolls—
everything was there in dazzling abundance.
And among them—
There was even a special item:
[Broken Boundless Gem]
[Broken Boundless Gem]:
After being socketed into a piece of equipment, it removes the level requirement for using that equipment.
(Maximum applicable tier: Platinum)
It could actually remove equipment level requirements?!
You had to know—
Almost all equipment came with level requirements.
For example, the Diamond-tier longbow [Call of the Storm]
had a clear usage requirement: Level 81.
That meant you had to complete Fourth Advancement to use it.
Otherwise, it was completely unusable.
But now—
This Broken Boundless Gem
could directly remove such restrictions!
Although it could only remove requirements for equipment up to Platinum tier,
that was already more than enough for Su Yang!
After all—
He was only Level 20 right now and hadn't even completed his First Advancement!
Yet he could already use weapons
that were originally restricted to Level 61+!
Wasn't that insane?
Insane to the heavens!
Su Yang gave everything a quick scan.
What he liked the most right now
was the Platinum-tier Flame Greatsword!
This massive sword was wreathed entirely in scorching flames.
Mysterious patterns ran along its blade,
and it even carried enchantments!
By injecting mana,
it could activate flame enchantment,
causing physical attacks to deal additional fire damage!
And since Su Yang had just advanced into a warrior,
its properties were a perfect match for him!
[Ding—]
[Detected: All secret-realm intruders have been wiped out]
[This BOSS assignment will end shortly. Countdown: 5 minutes]
As the system countdown sounded—
Su Yang immediately scooped up everything dropped by the Spirit Hunters guild
into his personal space without hesitation.
Once the collection was complete,
the countdown reached zero.
A flash of white light—
And when Su Yang opened his eyes again,
his soul had returned to his original body!
First time acting as a BOSS—
Full marks!
Looking at the personal space packed full of "spoils of war,"
a satisfied smile appeared on Su Yang's face.
He opened his personal status panel—
[Su Yang]
[Class]: Unadvanced (?)
[Level]: 20 (EXP overflow: 430,000)
[Attributes]:
Strength: 12
Speed: 10
Spirit: 10
Unassigned Attribute Points: 200
[Skills]:
[Basic Skill — ?????]
[Basic Skill — ?????]: Deals physical damage equal to 100% Strength + 30% Speed
Cough, cough…
After seeing the Black Dragon BOSS's stats—
And then looking back at his own panel—
The gap was… not just a little big.
"Two hundred free attribute points.
Let's put 100 into Strength,
and 50 each into Speed and Spirit."
Following the conventional distribution method,
Warriors usually prioritized Strength and Speed at a 3:1 ratio.
As for Spirit,
it was only added when equipment or skills required it.
But Su Yang knew very well—
With the system backing him,
his future development path would definitely differ from ordinary warriors.
If he completely ignored Spirit,
it would likely restrict him severely later on.
For example, many of the skill scrolls he had just looted
already had minimum Spirit requirements.
Very soon—
The point allocation was complete.
His current stats became:
[Attributes]:
Strength: 112
Speed: 60
Spirit: 60
The effect of the attribute points
immediately fed back into his body.
Su Yang could clearly feel his physical capabilities improve—
Strength, reaction speed,
even his five senses were far sharper than before.
"Next, I'll head to the Job Advancement Temple and pick up my advancement quest."
"After that, I'll go to the auction house and sell off the stuff I don't need."
"With the money from selling,
I'll socket the Flame Greatsword
and insert the Broken Boundless Gem."
"That way, the advancement quest should be an easy one-shot… perfect!"
With his plan laid out,
Su Yang hummed a tune and headed out the door.
With cheats—
Life really was this comfortable!
...
...
Hundreds of kilometers away from Dongling City.
At the exit of the Black Dragon Fortress secret realm.
A flash of white light appeared—
And the figures of the Spirit Hunters members emerged one after another.
It could only be said—
Human joys and sorrows were not shared.
While Su Yang was happily heading off to advance his class
with a body full of treasures—
The members of Spirit Hunters
stood there in silence,
on the verge of tears.
You had to know—
Everyone who entered this secret realm
was part of Spirit Hunters' core force!
Being wiped out in one go
was an extremely heavy loss!
The most basic death penalty—
Every single person lost 10% of their level!
Although level loss didn't affect completed job advancements,
the impact was still massive!
For example:
Some equipment could no longer be used due to level requirements.
Re-leveling required enormous time and resources.
...
But—
That wasn't even the worst part!
Every job-changer had died before, more or less.
They could still accept level loss.
What they absolutely couldn't accept
was equipment and item drops!
Because Sumeru Rings were extremely rare and prohibitively expensive,
Only Guild Leader Lei Shan had ever owned one.
No one else in the guild did.
Which meant—
Everything they carried
had a chance of dropping!
"All members! Immediately check your equipment and item losses!"
"Afterward, report to me.
The guild will issue compensation from the guild warehouse to each member!"
This—
Was the responsibility of a major guild!
Even though—
Lei Shan's heart was bleeding right now,
and his teeth were grinding loudly.
He had never expected things to turn out like this.
Not only did they fail to obtain Fifth Advancement materials,
they even got their main force completely wiped!
Damn it!
Even if the one who sold him the guide was a big shot from an S-rank guild,
he was going to demand an explanation this time!
This was obviously a scam!
Just as Lei Shan was boiling with anger—
Suddenly, the guild erupted into chaos.
Lei Shan frowned, about to scold someone—
When he heard a shout:
"Holy shit! Where's the healer?! Where's the healer?!"
"Vice Guild Leader Zhao collapsed! Hurry!"
Lei Shan: ???
What the hell?
Zhao Ming fainted?
Lei Shan turned his gaze—
And saw Zhao Ming lying on the ground, face pale.
His eyes had rolled back,
his limbs twitching.
Even more outrageous—
Tears were streaming straight out of the corners of his eyes!
What did he lose?
Was it really that serious?
Lei Shan was just about to complain about Zhao Ming's mental fortitude—
When he suddenly realized something.
Slowly, he looked behind Zhao Ming—
To where the Diamond-tier weapon
[Call of the Storm]
should have been strapped…
It was—
Completely empty.
Holy shit…
