196: Chapter 196 Abyss Delivers Potions, Damage Increased Again

The mobilization meeting had just ended, and the heat at the mouth of Black Wind Valley had yet to subside.

The million-strong Vanguard Army returned to camp, but no one actually went to sleep.

Long queues formed in front of the supply points.

Sparks flew in the blacksmith shops.

The Dragon Crystal cultivation grounds were even more crowded.

"The general offensive is tomorrow, stock up on potions!"

"Two more bundles of magic-breaking arrows!"

"My buff bar is so full I can barely see it. Can we stack even more?"

Just as the words were spoken—

Boom—

A dark purple rift suddenly tore open in the sky on the west side of Wanlong City.

Thick Abyssal Demonic Qi surged from the rift, yet it wasn't aggressive at all; instead, it seemed to be kept in check by some power.

Qing Yu looked up, her hand already resting on her sword hilt.

"Sir, Abyssal aura."

Ao Ningshuang narrowed her silver eyes: "Mei You's people."

In the next second, a team of Abyssal Envoys stepped out of the dark purple rift.

Leading them was Shadow Three.

He wore a black-patterned robe, followed by dozens of Abyssal Attendants, with every four people carrying a large black crystal chest.

The chests landed on the ground.

Thud! Thud! Thud!

Exactly fifty chests.

Even before the black crystal lids were opened, a potent dark medicinal power emanated from within.

The surrounding players instantly crowded around.

"The Abyss is sending things again?"

"This scent... potions?"

"Don't tell me it's another general offensive buff!"

Shadow Three walked up to Lin Zhe and knelt on one knee, his voice respectful.

"Mr. Lin Zhe, the Witch heard that the general offensive on Black Wind Valley is imminent and has commanded me to deliver fifty thousand bottles of Top-tier Dark Armor-Piercing Potions."

After speaking, he waved his hand.

Clatter!

The fifty black crystal chests opened simultaneously.

Rows of deep purple potions were neatly arranged, their bottles wrapped in fine black cracks, the liquid inside flowing slowly as if alive.

Shadow Three continued: "This medicine is specifically designed for Dark Dragon Clan scales and demonized Dragon Power."

"After consumption, damage against Dark Dragon Clan targets is increased by 15%."

"Lasts for two hours."

"The Witch said it would be perfect to use during the general offensive."

Boom!

The entire camp erupted.

"Damage +15% against the Dark Dragon Clan?!"

"Lasts for two hours? That perfectly covers the most intense wave of the general offensive!"

"The Abyss Witch is just too considerate!"

"With my damage buffs stacked like this, how is Qing Yan even supposed to survive?"

The world channel was also instantly flooded with messages.

"The Abyss sent armor-piercing potions!"

"General offensive damage boosted by another 15%!"

"Qing Yan: Are you guys even being polite?"

Ao Ningshuang looked at those fifty thousand bottles of potion, a trace of surprise flashing in her silver eyes.

The most troublesome part of the Dark Dragon Clan was their demonized scales, which were both hard and sinister.

Ordinary attacks would have a significant portion of their damage shaved off.

But with this batch of potions, that gap would be torn wide open.

What Mei You sent was indeed the most suitable thing for the general offensive.

Shadow Three took out a dark purple contract stone and presented it with both hands.

"Additionally, the Witch has a message."

"During the general offensive, all Dark Materials, Dark Potions, and Abyssal Forging Supplies from the Abyss will be sold at a 50% discount."

"Players of the Falling Maple system and those participating in the Dragon Domain war can all enjoy this."

"If the suppression of the rebellion requires the Abyss to deploy troops, Mr. Lin Zhe only needs to say the word, and the Witch will mobilize them at any time."

As soon as these words came out, the scene fell silent for a moment.

The Abyss deploying troops.

This wasn't just a simple gesture of goodwill.

This was making their stance completely clear.

Qing Yan had tried to recruit the Abyss but failed; instead, Mei You was sending wave after wave of resources to Lin Zhe.

The players soon reacted, laughing hysterically.

"Hahaha, Qing Yan wanted to collude with the Abyss before, and now the Abyss is directly helping us hit him!"

"50% off Dark Materials? Shadow Hunters and Curse Master players are going to take off!"

"The Abyss Witch's choice of side is too brutal!"

Lin Zhe looked at Shadow Three, his expression remaining calm.

"I accept the items."

Shadow Three immediately bowed his head: "I thank you on behalf of the Witch, Sir."

Lin Zhe raised his hand.

Faint golden rule patterns descended, sinking directly into Shadow Three's body.

Buzz—

A circle of fine golden lines instantly lit up on Shadow Three.

His aura visibly jolted, and a notification popped up before him.

[You have gained a permanent buff: Drop Rate +10%]

Shadow Three's pupils shrank violently, followed by wild joy.

Drop Rate +10%.

And it was permanent.

This kind of thing was a substantial reward for any Abyssal Executor.

He immediately prostrated himself.

"Thank you for the generous gift, Mr. Lin Zhe!"

Almost simultaneously, a system prompt rang in Lin Zhe's mind.

[Ding! Detected that the top-tier female NPC, Abyss Witch Mei You's favorability toward the host has increased to 45!]

[Ding! Sixth Bond trigger progress increased!]

[Current Progress: 12%!]

Lin Zhe's eyes flickered slightly.

Mei You's line was also starting to stabilize.

Qing Yu quickly had people receive the potions and distribute them according to Vanguard Army contribution points and general offensive formations.

In front of the supply warehouse, the player queue lengthened instantly.

"Give me a bottle!"

"Don't grab, every participating team gets a share!"

"Let me try a sip first!"

A Berserker player received a potion, pulled the stopper, and gulped it down.

Deep purple medicinal power instantly covered his weapon.

[You have used a Top-tier Dark Armor-Piercing Potion]

[Damage against Dark Dragon Clan +15%]

[Duration: 2 hours]

He rushed to the testing area and swung his blade at a temporarily captured Dark Dragon Clan elite puppet.

Boom!

The damage numbers jumped up sharply.

The player's eyes went red.

"Holy crap! That's powerful!"

An Archer nearby also drank a bottle and fired three magic-breaking arrows in succession.

Swoosh swoosh swoosh!

The arrows nailed into the puppet's scales, directly dealing a patch of armor-piercing cracks.

"This feel is just like cutting vegetables!"

"The elite Black Dragons are going to have a hard time!"

"If I don't kill enough to break even tomorrow, I'll have wasted this potion!"

Bottle after bottle of potion was handed out.

A dark purple armor-piercing icon was added to the buff bars above the Vanguard Army players' heads.

Attack, Defense, Deep Sea Spirit Fish, Light Resistance, Underwater Breathing, Dragon Might Immunity, Dark Armor-Piercing...

Layer upon layer.

It was enough to make one's scalp tingle.

The world channel was in a total frenzy.

"Who's afraid of the Dark Dragon Clan now?"

"The last piece of the puzzle before the general offensive has been filled!"

"Big boss Lin Zhe just stands there and major factions scramble to send buffs. Now that's what you call prestige!"

Ao Ningshuang looked at the players in the camp whose fighting spirit was soaring, then looked at Lin Zhe, her voice lowering slightly.

"Mei You's delivery was timely."

Lin Zhe said indifferently: "She is very smart."

Hearing this, Shadow Three lowered his head even further.

If he brought this sentence back to the Abyss, the Witch would surely be happy.

In the direction of Black Wind Valley, the Dark aura surged violently for a moment.

It was as if the people inside also felt the increasingly terrifying pressure from outside the valley.

Meanwhile, in the camp, players were sharpening their blades while collecting their potions.

"When the fight starts tomorrow, I'm charging first!"

"Elite Black Dragons? They're just point bundles now!"

"Qing Yan better hold out a bit longer, don't let this full set of buffs go to waste!"

Lin Zhe stood on high ground, calmly gazing toward Black Wind Valley.

Potions in stock.

Damage boosted again.

Everyone's blades had been sharpened.
