Chapter 47 : Double Kill
Double KillJust as the atmosphere among everyone was about to freeze over, a sudden global announcement exploded through the world of Legend of Kaloran like a thunderclap, once again setting off a tsunami of heated discussion across the entire Kaloran realm.
"System notification: Congratulations to player【Cecilia】from the China region for leading the team to successfully slay the D-rank world-class boss【Sawtooth Demon King Crocodile】! The party members are: Cecilia, blooming Smile, Dawn's Light, Yuewu, little Persimmon Puppy. As the first team in the entire server to defeat a D-rank world boss, all players in the team have been awarded 30 gold coins and 700 reputation."
"This notice is hereby issued as an encouragement!"
What's going on? What just happened?
Dawn's Light, who had been looking grim, was stunned. Yuewu was stunned. Little Persimmon Puppy was stunned too. None of them had expected that in just a few minutes, Cecilia, who had only gone ahead to clear the way, would, all on her own, directly take down this time's D-rank world boss.
So what exactly were we here for?
Are we even playing the same game?
Only Gu Yanxi revealed a knowing smile, as if everything had been within her expectations.
Perhaps fearing that players might have missed it, a few seconds later, a second global announcement rang out. Everyone was dumbfounded. Even the world chat, long muted by Cecilia, now boiled over like cold water splashed onto hot oil.
"Holy crap! Another world boss has been defeated!"
"That's just basic operations for my wife, don't 6 don't 6."*
"@【Cecilia】, come out and say something, boss!"
"My Cecilia ???? My Cecilia ???? My Cecilia ????"
"........."
*Translator's note: "勿6勿6" is meme-speak from Chinese internet gaming; it broadly means, "Don't show off, stay cool."
After having witnessed Cecilia's fearsome combat power, Dawn's Light and Yuewu quickly came to themselves and hurriedly opened their personal interfaces. Sure enough, their inventories now had 30 more gold coins and their reputation had gone up by 700 points, proving this announcement was no bug—Cecilia had actually taken down the D-rank world boss by herself!
Little Persimmon Puppy's cheeks flushed red. Surrounded by the ongoing global announcement, happiness flooded over her until she nearly lost herself. Yuewu, meanwhile, had already eagerly opened the private message interface, starting to confirm with Cecilia whether the notice was true.
【Yuewu: Sister Ce! Sister Ce! Did you really take out the boss this time?】
【Yuewu: Wuwuwu, sister Ce, please say something!】
However, Yuewu's excited messages seemed to sink into the sea, without a single reply.
Cecilia maintained her usual cold and aloof persona, as if slaying a D-rank world boss was as ordinary as eating or drinking—just a completely routine affair.
Bang!
-367!
Standing silently at the lake shore, watching the giant snake still writhing slowly in the water, Cecilia spun her pistol once, gently blew away the imaginary gunsmoke at the muzzle, and holstered her flintlock pistol once again.
Although this gun's damage was decent, when compared with the 【Rose Maid's Silver Dinner Knife】, the difference was like night and day. The【Forest Anaconda Egg Thief】still had over 3,000 health left—it would take at least seven or eight more shots to finish it off. Sure enough, it was much easier to use【Silverflash Pierce】directly.
A flash of silver slanted into the water, aimed straight at the snake's head. Red blood blossomed as bubbles rose together with gray-white damage numbers. After a few muffled pops, system Miss's voice once again echoed in Cecilia's mind.
"System notification: Congratulations! You have slain the E-rank world boss【Forest Anaconda Egg Thief】and gained 1,938 experience!"
"System notification: You have reached level 16; all stats +5, attribute points +1 to allocate!"
"System notification: You have obtained equipment【Giant Python Stalker Set】(purple epic); 50 gold coins; 10 Blue Gems; 5 Purple Gems!"
"System notification: You have obtained skill book【Stealthy Stalker】(assassin class exclusive)!"
"System notification..."
Although this giant snake was strong, even able to go toe-to-toe with the D-rank Sawtooth Demon King Crocodile for quite a while, in the end, it was only an E-rank world boss. Naturally, its loot was not as generous as that of the crocodile.
Still, getting a blue skill book was a nice unexpected bonus.
Opening her inventory again, Cecilia found that the epic gear that dropped was, just like the skill book, exclusive to the assassin class. The minimum equipment level was 14, and it gave a high boost to attack and agility—its stats were excellent.
Due to the wave started by Cecilia, the number of assassin players in Legend of Kaloran had soared, so much so that assassin gear supply couldn't begin to meet demand. As a professional Merchant, little Persimmon Puppy was fully aware of this. With such a tight market, this item would definitely fetch a very good price.
Very soon, another announcement began to circulate through all servers globally.
"System notification: Congratulations to player【Cecilia】from the China region for leading the team to successfully slay the E-rank world-class boss【Forest Anaconda Egg Thief】! The party members are: Cecilia, blooming Smile, Dawn's Light, Yuewu, little Persimmon Puppy. All team members have been rewarded with 15 gold coins and 400 reputation."
"This notice is hereby issued as an encouragement!"
"System notification...."
This is the fourth time already—did the system bug out?
When many players heard the start of the message, they couldn't help but wonder if the game system had glitched and played the global announcement an extra time beyond the intended three repeats.
After all, slaying two world-class bosses in just a few minutes was just too unbelievable. No one would think of such a thing at first, and even if you told them, nobody would believe it.
You have to realize that in the entire Legend of Kaloran world, world-class bosses are as rare as peak experts; since launch, there have only ever been four such world-class bosses ranging from F to D rank. With tens of millions of players on the national server, any ordinary player chancing upon a wild world boss would count as a once-in-a-lifetime stroke of luck.
Scarcity is fine—rare things are valuable. But for all four boss rewards to end up in the hands of the same person—that's a little hard to accept.
It was precisely for this reason that among other players, Cecilia had earned the nickname "Boss Raider in Human Form."
As this announcement concluded, every server in Legend of Kaloran first fell silent, and then erupted, falling into a frenzy several times more intense than before!
Double kill!
