23: I still have a boss here...

Ignoring the commotion within the team, he first checked the two pieces of equipment in his backpack!

What a pity, they require level 5 to equip!

【Boar Leather Leggings】

【Black Iron Tier】

【Legs, Leather Armor】

【Equipment Requirement: Level 5】

【Physical Defense +6】

【Magic Defense +5】

【Strength +3】

【Durability: 35/35】

(Don't you feel uncomfortable wearing clothes made of boar leather?)

【Boar Leather Armor】

【Black Iron Tier】

【Chest, Leather Armor】

【Equipment Requirement: Level 5】

【Physical Defense +12】

【Magic Defense +5】

【HP +50】

【Stamina +5】

【Durability: 35/35】

(It looks appropriate on a boar, but a regular person wearing it looks quite like a boar...)

Heh...

"How can it insult people?"

The last one that insulted him had already been sent into reincarnation by Xu Shian in front of everyone!

Unexpectedly, there was another one here without eyes...

He then looked at the Cooking blueprint for Savory Deviate Delight and the magic skill book for Frost Nova...

He definitely had to learn the Savory Deviate Delight recipe, but this mutated fish didn't exist in the Novice Village!

Don't ask how Xu Shian knew!

After all, he had already achieved the 【Fished Through Novice Village】 achievement.

【Fished Through Novice Village】: Caught all types of fish in the Novice Village!

He was very certain that there was no 'mutated fish'...

Could this be equipment dropped based on his Luck stat?

If you play like this, Xu Shian would have to write a big 'respect' for his own talent!

It was simply overpowered...

Having secured his base earnings, Xu Shian was no longer in a hurry; he wanted to see what these people in front of him were like and if they were worth getting to know better!

After all, his talent wasn't powerful enough to solo a BOSS, so it would be best to find a fixed team with decent character to hang out with...

Even Qin Hui had three good friends!

He couldn't keep fighting alone either!

Moreover, with such a slacking talent, he didn't seem to need to rack his brains calculating how to solo the Merman Guard Kun Kai...

However, he had to see what their attitude was like when faced with temptation!

【Sad Fish】 frowned while looking at the items dropped by the BOSS!

At first glance, it was okay, but upon closer inspection... it was worse than the first glance!

"It just so happens that this rare elite also dropped a gold coin, so it will be easy for us to split!"

With a gold coin as a buffer, this loot distribution meeting would be much easier to hold!

First, distribute 20 Silver Coins to each person. Whoever wants to take a piece of equipment must hand over 20 Silver Coins, and then do another round of distribution...

Xu Shian looked at the few items here; well, he didn't like any of them!

Then what else was there to say? He could just watch them perform.

【Sad Fish】 was the team leader, presiding over the loot distribution ceremony.

"For our five-person team, everyone gets 20 Silver Coins first..."

Speaking of this, he seemed to remember something and looked at Xu Shian for his opinion!

Xu Shian had already reached out to take the money, and the other party did this?

Frowning slightly, he wanted to see what this guy was trying to pull!

"Um, you had the highest team contribution, do you have any opinions?"

Looking at the other party's sincere eyes, Xu Shian couldn't tell for a moment if the other party was trying to set him up...

【Sad Fish】 confirmed that Xu Shian truly had no objections, and then began to distribute the money!

"20 Silver Coins, this chainmail helmet belongs to me. Does anyone want to compete for it?"

"No..."

Chainmail; without enough strength, wearing chainmail would only be a burden...

It wasn't just a weight issue; it also affected the movement of some classes!

For example, if 【Go Against the Current to Form a River】 wore a set of chainmail, how much would that hinder things?

Everywhere they walked, it would clatter and clang...

After taking the chainmail, 【Sad Fish】 retreated to the side, and Liu Lili followed closely.

With 【Sad Fish】 setting the example, Liu Lili's operation went smoothly.

"I'll also pay 20 Silver Coins. Is anyone going to fight me for this cloth armor?"

Then, Xu Shian received another 8 Silver Coins!

There was one Cooking scroll left: Charcoal Grilled Pork Ribs. Everyone looked at each other; clearly, no one really wanted it!

It would be a pity if it went unsold! Xu Shian asked at the right moment.

"This thing doesn't need to be 20 Silver Coins, right?"

Xu Shian had not yet encountered wild boars!

But based on his current strength development, Xu Shian would eventually eat this delicacy sooner or later, so getting it early was fine too!

As for Cooking recipes, although the chef taught them, they were all basics...

There were actually very few menus Xu Shian could learn from the chef.

In the future, if he wanted to learn new Cooking, he would have to learn through these Cooking scrolls dropped by monsters!

The other four thought about it; this price was indeed too high!

After all, they had obtained Black Iron Tier equipment; could this even compare?

Finally, they unanimously decided that Xu Shian could take it for 10 Silver Coins...

At this price, no one suffered a big loss!

After the loot distribution meeting ended, An Xixi and 【Go Against the Current to Form a River】, who hadn't received any items, got 37 Silver Coins each.

The others had also gained something to varying degrees!

Xu Shian was quite satisfied with this distribution.

Seeing that everyone was planning to go their separate ways, Xu Shian quickly kept them behind!

Just kidding, he hadn't used his three daily chances for the talent 【Skill 2: Fisherman Never Misses!】 yet!

Letting that Kun Kai live for another day was disrespectful to his angler talent!

"I have a BOSS here, drops are uncertain, do you want to fight it?"

"Fight!" ×4

Are you kidding? If you encounter a wild BOSS, how could you not fight it?

If you don't fight a BOSS, what game are you playing?

An Xixi was the most enthusiastic: "What are the BOSS's attributes?"

"I don't know, I was killed instantly yesterday..."

"Ah? Then... then this BOSS, it's not like we absolutely have to fight it..."

Jokes aside!

With such a powerful Class like 【Sad Fish】 here, everyone would never let such a good opportunity slip by!

To take a step back, the rare elite had 125 EXP and 15 days of extra lifespan; the BOSS couldn't be less than that, right?

Although they were determined to fight, in this "Players Online", let alone dying once, even getting poked in the kidney would be painful for a long time!

Even though the death penalty was almost non-existent now, no one wanted to experience the taste of death!

Therefore, the BOSS's strength had to be figured out.

Listening to Xu Shian's description, even 【Sad Fish】 frowned a little!

It could reduce defense and had a chance for critical hits and stuns... it was bad news!

"My talent adds defense and reduces damage! If Shi Chuan isn't wrong, it's still doable!"

He looked at everyone present.

An Xixi was the most enthusiastic and insisted on fighting this BOSS.

Liu Lili prioritized her daughter in everything, so of course, she expressed support.

【Go Against the Current to Form a River】 didn't care; he was the type who just wanted to survive and didn't care how...

"Then let's fight? Where is the BOSS?"

Wait a minute, the elite monster earlier didn't matter, but for this proper BOSS, the Class and healer needed to be buffed!

Xu Shian immediately took out a rare edition of Cooking food and gave it to 【Sad Fish】.

【Grilled Delicious Small Fish】: Consume 60% of the entire food portion, and you will gain the effect: Satiety +30, HP recovery 80 points, gain BUFF: Physical Defense +60 points, duration 15 minutes!

【Sad Fish】's eyes narrowed; if he added another 60 points of defense, he would be more confident in fighting the BOSS!

Damn, why didn't he take it out earlier?

Oh, right, I boasted that 【Princess】 couldn't hurt me...

Immediately after, fearing that the healer's magic points wouldn't be enough later.

Xu Shian took out another food item with 5-second MP recovery +2 and gave it to Liu Lili!

"These are all things I bought at the Auction House; they are quite useful. You can buy some when you have nothing to do!"

"It really is useful. There's even an MP recovery attribute? I didn't see it yesterday..."

Liu Lili took the MP recovery small fish with a look of regret!

As long as the Class and healer were fine, then fighting monsters wouldn't be a problem.

After such a process, the few people next to him were stunned; so extravagant!

Xu Shian had already scouted the surrounding area; in the distance, a river was winding its way into the distance!

"Let's go, to the riverside, I'll summon it!"

Saying this, he looked at 【Sad Fish】, "You can eat the Cooking now..."

【Sad Fish】 looked left and right; although he didn't see where the BOSS was, he still obediently sat down to eat.

Liu Lili also quickly sat down to eat the MP recovery food; although she was a bit reluctant to part with such good things, it wasn't hers after all, and she couldn't just steal it; she couldn't do such a thing.

Xu Shian saw that everyone was ready.

"Brother, Taunt immediately!"

"Rest assured!"

Xu Shian cast his line and started fishing normally to see what kind of mechanism this BOSS actually had!

Three minutes later!

Splash!

A yellow-green humanoid monster taller than a person leaped out of the water and charged straight at Xu Shian...

It wasn't his first time facing this guy either!

Unlike last time, when he stood still like a wooden stake, he put away his fishing rod and turned to run!

【Taunt】!

Merman Guard Kun Kai had just activated its speed boost when it reluctantly turned its head and charged at 【Sad Fish】...
