novelWorld Announcement, Upgrade and Maintenance
| ← Ch.059 | Ch.061 → |
The Beast Master felt that his back was torn by some foreign object, and he could not help but let out a loud scream.
"Ah..."
Looking down, he saw that an arrow pierced through his chest, and bright red blood spurted out.
His body staggered. Before he fell down, he turned around and stared at the figure below, full of resentment.
This was Mcgee's first time killing someone.
The feeling of killing someone was not good at all.
If the other party had no intention of killing him, Mcgee would probably have let it go.
Before he transmigrated, he was a law-abiding citizen. He had not even killed a chicken before.
Even though he had transmigrated to this world full of danger and monsters, Mcgee, whose hands were covered in monster blood, had never thought that he would kill his own kind.
However, after a short period of anger, Mcgee found that he did not feel much discomfort.
He even felt a little fortunate that he was in such a mindset. He knew that this day would come sooner or later.
Now that it had happened, it had alarmed him either way.
The danger from his own kind was no less than that of monsters. They were even harder to guard against than monsters.
Soon, Mcgee retracted his gaze and prepared to finish off the Molten Lizard and give it one last shot.
In the end —
[The Molten Lizard's HP continues to decrease...]
[Molten Lizard... killed!]
The Molten Lizard was actually poisoned to death by the rotten poison blood potion.
"System notification: You have killed the boss Molten Lizard."
"System notification: As this is the first boss-level monster that has been killed in the world, the system will send a world announcement in the chatbox. Would you like to be anonymous?"
"Anonymous."
Without thinking, Mcgee chose to remain anonymous.
What a joke. Once his identity was announced, not to mention other troubles, just the countless private messages alone would give him a headache.
Although he was currently number one on the leaderboard.
But to put it bluntly, he was trying to survive and barely managed to protect himself.
In terms of individual strength, he was actually not much stronger than other Beast Masters. His ability to solve problems was also limited.
"World Announcement: Anonymous Beast Master has killed the boss Molten Lizard. System reward obtained."
"System reward: Black Iron Treasure Chest x 10, Bronze Treasure Chest X 5, Silver Treasure Chest x 1."
"System reward: Beast Master skill effect increase by 10%."
"System reward: Home usage range increase by 20%."
As expected of a boss-level monster, the reward was really generous. Unfortunately, it made Mcgee forget that he had just killed someone.
As soon as the world announcement came out, the chatbox instantly went into a frenzy.
"Oh my god, who is this big shot? How long has it been since he solo-killed the boss-level monster?"
"F*ck, being compared is so infuriating. I'm still killing charging pigs and jumping sheep... do you have to be so crazy?"
"Big shot Mcgee has made me depressed, but this big shot has made me despair. Are we even in the same game?"
For a moment, the chat box was full of exclamations, envy, jealousy, and heart-wrenching comments.
When the system reward was announced, these people were even more dumbfounded.
The reward was too generous. Just looking at it made them envious.
"Damn, so many treasure chests. That's insane!"
"I'm envious. Does the big boss want underlings? I'm begging to bring them online. If I have money, I'll give it to him together."
"I think treasure chests are more about luck. The increase in the percentage of levels is really awesome. The higher the levels in the future, the greater the increase."
"We can talk about it in the future. But, instead, I'm more envious of the expansion of his home. Our home is the most important thing."
"Yeah, what's the point of fighting and killing? The world is too dangerous. I want to have a home."
It would have been better if they did not talk about this. However, once they talked about home, the chatbox suddenly fell silent for a short while.
They had traveled through time —
Hundreds of millions of families had all been separated. Some people might never see their families again in this lifetime.
Just as everyone's thoughts were flying, the system suddenly issued another announcement.
"System announcement: With the boss dead, in order to enrich the experience of the Beast Masters, the system will be upgraded and maintained for 24 hours."
"System notification: During the maintenance period, all monsters with yellow names will not attack the players as long as they do not take the initiative to provoke them."
"System notification: During the maintenance period, the system will gradually reward all the Beast Masters who survived the first season."
"System notification: When this upgrade and maintenance is completed. The system store function will be released, the currency system will be determined, the material levels will be divided, and the second season will officially begin."
The system announcement this time was like a bombshell that almost blew up the quiet chatbox.
"The first season? The second season?"
"I feel like there's a lot of information."
"Is this not transmigration? Is this an online game?"
"Hehe, have you ever seen such a real and huge online game world? Use your brain to think about it."
"Store function? I'm starting to look forward to it. I hope it's not for harvesting leeks."
"Indeed. The first season was too unfair. Some people get rich from disasters, while others almost starve to death."
"Everyone, stop talking nonsense. It's not easy to rest for a day and a night. Let's seize the time to rest and make more preparations."
"You're right. Opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared. Let's go."
"Yeah, I want to be like big boss Mcgee. Wine and meat, and I want to feel warm and lustful."
Mcgee, who was silently watching the screen, saw this sentence, and his face could not help but twitch.
"... F*ck you, do you know how to speak?" Mcgee could not help but complain in his heart.
"Sigh, I can't envy you."
"It's time. It's fate."
"Don't be discouraged. It's going to be the second season soon. But, unfortunately, I don't believe that big brother Mcgee will remain on top!"
"God won't always favor one person. There will always be a time when luck runs out. So only the person who laughs last can be considered the king over the rest."
"Greetings, little brother. I wish everyone a good start to the second season and a good ending. Don't forget to give me a hand when the time comes."
Within a few minutes, the chat box was as quiet as a still lake. Only a few messages popped up. Most of the people took this time to make preparations.
Mcgee was not idle either. He walked up to the dead Molten Lizard, his eyes shining.
This was the only boss he had killed in the first season.
Logically speaking, the materials dropped should be the best.
"System notification: You have obtained life crystal x6."
[Life Crystal: Contains a rich life aura. It can be used to synthesize special treasures and increase the life of tamed beasts. ]
"System notification: You have obtained smelting tinder x10."
[Tinder: It can release a terrifying high temperature, enough to melt gold and iron, and can smelt most of the ores. ]
"System notification: You have obtained tinder * 10, intermediate tinder * 2."
These were all very good materials.
Apart from that, under the belly of the Molten Lizard, there was a ball of silver-white light.
"System notification: You have obtained limited edition silver treasure chest * 1."
He did not expect that even the treasure chest had a limited edition.
Mcgee was speechless.
"System, break it down."
Suddenly, a white light enveloped the body of the Molten Lizard and flashed for a full second.
"System notification: You have obtained the lizard skin x10. It can be used to make leather armor and leather items."
"System notification: You have obtained the rotten lizard meat x150. It is poisonous and can not be eaten."
"System notification: You have obtained lizard innate skill — high temperature resistance. Resistance to fire and heat increased by 500%. ]
