167: Diamond-level equipment

PS: I usually don't read comments, but I saw a long one yesterday, so I'll respond. My level isn't high enough, so I won't post images.

1. Xu Shian had already decided to lead the Main Group through the Bronze Trial back in Chapter 147, not because he saw others doing it and decided to follow suit.

2. Members of the Main Group can join simply by meeting the level requirements and signing up, with no other barriers. You can't exactly beg people to join... 3. Regarding the Bronze Trial, Xu Shian had been inquiring about it since the first day he arrived in Qixia Town, asking the Machinery Workshop owner how to obtain the relevant Blueprints, and grinding in the Mechanical Graveyard for many days... It wasn't ignored!

I only read Chinese Entertainment Novels where Liu Yifei is the sole female lead; she is the White Moonlight in my heart. How could I not care about her?

Finally, thank you to all the big shots who support me. This Struggling Writer will keep working hard!

The main text follows:

[Ding! Congratulations, your team participated in defeating the Bronze Level Field BOSS, 'Corrupted Ancient Tree - Wosguer'.]

[Your Talent 'Whats Wrong With Me Slacking Off?' has been triggered. You additionally received: Gold Coins +2000, Ebony War Boots (diamond grade), Bark Armor (Golden Grade), Ancient Tree Wisdom (Golden Grade), Withered Wood Staff (Golden Grade), Ancient Tree Nemesis Bow (diamond grade)...]

Xu Shian was already Level 14, so fighting the Level 10 Corrupted Ancient Tree yielded zero experience points.

No experience points meant no extra lifespan.

However, this diamond grade equipment truly exceeded Xu Shian's expectations!

Last Time he fought a BOSS, there was no Diamond equipment... everything was Golden Grade!

Could it be because many NPCs participated last Time? Did that automatically lower the equipment grade by one level?

If he couldn't figure it out, he would set the matter aside for now.

Although he didn't understand what happened, this was definitely a good thing for Xu Shian!

[Durability: 80/80]

(So hot, so hot. Setting fires on mountains leads to prison Time. Are you sure you don't want to switch weapons when fighting me?)

He immediately equipped both pieces of gear.

After thinking about it, he directly gave the replaced [Elven Longbow] and agile treasure boots to An Xixi!

These two pieces of equipment were carefully selected by Xu Shian and were much stronger than what she currently wore!

With his girlfriend right next to him, it would be too much if he gave the good replaced equipment to Wu Lun... What would that look like?

A two-hour long drama series called "The Resentful Wife"?

Not far away, the BOSS lay quietly on the ground.

Although there were thousands of people around, no one dared to go up and touch it!

Having witnessed Xu Shian's Strength, his subordinates would only follow him more devotedly.

If the gap isn't too large, it can give rise to improper covetousness.

If the gap is too large, those under him are left only with devoted loyalty.

With just 20 seconds of output, the onlookers doubted whether King Arthur could beat him even using an Archangel Scroll... He was ridiculously strong.

[You received: Gold Coins +2000, Equipment: Ancient Magic Bulwark (diamond grade), Gloves of Hope (Golden Grade)... Blueprint: surging life amulet (Golden).]

Hiss... this thing... The Ancient Magic Bulwark was a shield, and Xu Shian immediately gave it to Gamor.

After all, he was currently Xu Shian's main Class.

As for Hu Beiyu, he was not within Xu Shian's consideration; he knew how to distinguish between closeness and distance... Watching Xu Shian pick up the equipment.

Gamor silently walked over to the BOSS.

He immediately harvested its corpse.

[Ding! You obtained 'Heart of the Ancient Tree'!]

"Hmm?"

Xu Shian received the system prompt and turned his head to see Gamor's action.

He didn't investigate closely; there were still thousands of people watching, so he would have to check the situation later.

Xu Shian wasn't particularly impressed by the other Golden Grade equipment!

But this [Blueprint: surging life amulet] was quite interesting.

This was a Jewelcrafting Blueprint.

[Blueprint: surging life amulet]

Required: Jewelcrafting (180)

Use: Teaches you to craft the Necklace: surging life amulet

[surging life amulet]

[Neck]

[Item Level: 150]

[Constitution +60]

[spirit +60]

[Use: Restores 10% of your maximum Health. Cooldown: 1 minute.]

[Durability: 60/60]

...Golden Grade equipment... a huge giveaway?

He casually handed the Jewelcrafting Blueprint to Sink, who immediately accepted it with shining eyes.

A Blueprint like this could allow Xu Shian to harvest a large wave of wealth!

Not only were the Necklace's attributes extremely powerful, but the crucial point was that equipment crafted by Xu Shian's group also possessed the immensely powerful [Craftsmanship Special Effect]!

After all the items were collected.

Xu Shian looked up at the excited crowd and the unwilling corpses lying on the ground... After thinking, Xu Shian directly posted a vote for Elite Members in the Guild.

Have you completed the Bronze Trial Quest... Yes; No!

Xu Shian was quite satisfied with the voting results.

A total of 2,025 people passed the Bronze Trial and were about to proceed to the Main City with the Bronze Level rank... A single level difference meant a world of difference... As for those who failed the quest... Xu Shian could only offer his regrets!

You had a 'Heavenly Pro' Boosting you, killing the BOSS in 20 seconds, yet you still couldn't hold on... If this were the Cultivation World, you'd be the kind of trash who relies on Pills for forced advancement!

Afterward, Xu Shian immediately began giving instructions in the Guild Channel.

Shi Chuan: @Everyone, after completing the trial quest, everyone should settle down in the Three Cities of Yunzhou (Qixia Town, Iron Spine Fortress, Feiyun Pass); these three cities will be the future development strongholds for our [Time] Guild... Since there was no mute set, a chatterbox quickly responded.

"What if other Forces also set their sights on these cities?"

Shi Chuan: Competition is welcome... Turning his head, Xu Shian began giving specific instructions.

"Sister Lili, upload the video of us fighting the BOSS to the external Forum..."

After thinking, he added.

"I'll send you two more videos; package them all together and post them on the external Forum!"

"Understood!"

Before the battle started, Xu Shian had already arranged for Liu Lili to be responsible for filming the Bronze Trial this Time.

Xu Shian originally wanted An Xixi to do this job, but she was clearly more eager to go up and passionately clash with the BOSS!

After seeing Xu Shian defeat a Level 10 Bronze BOSS in 20 seconds, if any Force still dared to compete, he would have to award that person a [Medal of Courage]!

...Xu Shian thought for a moment. The Guild was about to enter the Main City Era, and the current mode of 'Wild Growth' was no longer viable.

He needed to set up an Operational Framework... Xu Shian decided to look for energetic young people!

They were daring, competitive, held goodwill toward the world, and their passion had not cooled... Thus, while everyone else went to Village Chief Wang Hu to turn in their quests, Xu Shian began posting recruitment information for Guild President Assistants in the Guild.

[Guild Message]

Guild President [Shi Chuan] is recruiting the first batch of Guild Management Assistants.

Requirements: No gender restriction, age 18-25. Current students from Prestigious Universities preferred!

Interested players who meet the requirements should interview directly with the Guild President in the Main City... When the seventy thousand-plus members of the Guild saw this message, they realized that the Time for Transformation had truly arrived.

This batch of so-called Guild President Assistants would be the future Guild Managers of the Guild!

They would even be the de facto managers of the Three Cities of Yunzhou, and potentially hold significant influence throughout myriad realms online in the future.

Because, in a sense, they represented the will of [Shi Chuan]!

Of course, the prerequisite was that you had to be able to stick with the position, strive to be the best, and then be even better... But at least it offered hope; only by applying and becoming a management assistant could you potentially wield great power in the future!

But what the heck is this requirement for ages 18 to 22?

Even the most demanding Sweatshops on Blue Star wouldn't dare to be so strict about age!

For a Time, the Guild Channel was filled with lamentations.
