Charging him 3 million isn't unreasonable, is it?

Map Chest.

A special type of treasure chest that only appears in hidden maps; opening it is guaranteed to yield top-tier equipment and items.

Thinking of this, Chen Ming immediately rushed toward the direction of the Ice Emperor Wolf King.

When Chen Ming arrived at his destination, he saw the Ice Emperor Wolf King facing off against a monster covered in rot and maggots.

In a pile of rubble behind that monster, a golden treasure chest lay quietly.

[Hidden Map Chest] (gold grade).

A gold grade chest, once enhanced by his Forbidden Talent, was guaranteed a Promotion into a Platinum-grade chest.

The items opened from it, after passing through the Forbidden Talent once more, would be Dark Gold Grade at the very minimum.

If his luck was truly heaven-defying, he might even directly obtain artifact-level equipment or items.

Excited by the thought, Chen Ming turned his gaze toward the monster before him.

[Mutated Zombie] (black iron grade Boss)

[Level: 15]

[HP: 35,000/35,000]

[Strength: 180]

[intelligence: 150]

[Agility: 120]

[stamina: 150]

[Spirit: 150]

[physical attack: 410]

[magic attack power: 350]

[physical defense: 225]

[magic defense: 225]

[Black Iron Grade Boss Template Bonus: Max HP +3,500, every attack deals an additional 10% of physical attack as true damage.]

[Hidden Map Bonus: Max HP +3,000, physical attack/magic attack power +50.]

[Skills: Rending Claws Lv1, Fearful Roar Lv2, Life Siphon Lv2, Berserk Lv1, Death Qi Erosion Lv1.]

[Introduction: A warrior of the Empire who was seduced by the power of darkness and fell, becoming an evil mutated creature.]

...

With the dual bonuses from the hidden map and the black iron boss template, the Mutated Zombie's attributes were simply ridiculous, even stronger than many bronze grade bosses in the outside world.

"Roar! Roar!"

Accompanied by the Mutated Zombie's angry roars, a black mist suddenly began to permeate the area.

[You are affected by Death Qi Erosion, taking 50 points of magic true damage every second.]

-50 points.

-50 points.

...

Chen Ming's health bar began to slowly decline.

This was indeed the Mutated Zombie's skill, [Death Qi Erosion].

[Death Qi Erosion Lv1: Passive skill. Forms a Death Qi Domain in a 75x75 area around the user. All enemies within the domain take 50 points of magic true damage every second.]

A large-scale AOE that dealt true damage.

At this stage, very few players could stand within this skill for more than a few seconds.

However, Chen Ming's health was currently over 3,000. This bit of damage was like a mere itch; even without using recovery potions, he could tank it for a full minute.

And one minute was enough for him to kill this Mutated Zombie several times over.

Besides, with his current attack range, as long as he kept his distance, the domain wouldn't even reach him.

With this in mind, Chen Ming retreated while pulling his bowstring. With the extra attack speed bonus provided by the [Hunter] class, he could now fire three arrows every second.

Whoosh! Whoosh!!

The rapid sound of arrows piercing the air rang out.

Arrows fell upon the Mutated Zombie like a sudden downpour.

-585 points (Poison Damage).

-132 points.

-65 points (true damage).

...

A single arrow could deal nearly 800 damage.

Moreover, as the poison effect from the Source of All Evil stacked to its maximum level,

the poison damage dealt every second soared to 2,925 points.

The Mutated Zombie's health bar, which seemed massive at 35,000, entered a critical state in less than ten seconds.

During this time, the Mutated Zombie tried to charge, but it was blocked directly by the Ice Emperor Wolf King and the newly summoned Hell Skeleton Knight.

"It's over!"

At that moment, scorching lava illuminated the dim cavern.

A streak of crimson light shot out from Chen Ming's hand, tearing through the air.

Flame Incineration World-Ending Arrow!

Pshhh!!

-2,148 points.

-1,027 points (Magic Damage).

...

At the same time, the [Hunter]'s innate instant-kill effect triggered.

Before the Mutated Zombie even had a chance to enter its Berserk state, it was instantly killed.

A gray orb of light dropped from its corpse.

[Ding-dong, you have successfully killed the Mutated Zombie (black iron grade boss), EXP +6,500.]

[Since you are the first player to kill the Mutated Zombie, you have received an additional 10 points to your intelligence attribute.]

...

The kill notification popped up before his eyes.

The Ice Emperor Wolf King was as sensible as ever, picking up the chest and the dropped items in its mouth to bring them to Chen Ming.

Chen Ming first picked up the items dropped by the Mutated Zombie.

[Ding-dong, congratulations on obtaining 7,000 Gold Coins.]

[Ding-dong, congratulations on obtaining equipment — Sword of Glory (bronze grade).]

...

His luck was a bit poor; the boss only dropped one piece of equipment, and it wasn't even something he could use.

As usual, he activated his talent to enhance it, achieving a three-tier upgrade.

The bronze grade [Sword of Glory] directly transformed into the Platinum-grade [Sword of the Brave].

[Sword of the Brave]

[Platinum-grade: Level 10]

[Level: 10]

[physical attack: +185]

[Attack Speed: +35%]

[Critical Rate: +15%]

[Special Effect 1: Every attack deals an additional 120% physical damage.]

[Special Effect 2: When your HP first drops below 10%, physical attack is increased by 100% for 10 seconds. This effect can be triggered once every 4 hours.]

[Special Effect 3: For every 1 point of physical attack you possess, your max HP increases by 1 point.]

[Introduction: A hero's strength is not because he pulled out the holy sword, but because he brought hope to everyone with the sword in his hand — Sinmedi, the Sword Hero of the Divine Dragon Empire.]

...

Undoubtedly, this was a top-tier piece of equipment among top-tiers. Especially for Warrior class players, its effects could even rival some Epic-grade equipment. Unfortunately, Chen Ming couldn't use it.

"If I remember correctly, the number one powerhouse of the Dragon Soul Guild, Sword God, has a talent that infinitely stacks attack power."

Chen Ming murmured to himself.

One could imagine that if Dragon Soul - Sword God got his hands on this weapon, it would be like giving wings to a tiger. He wouldn't even need to change weapons for a very long time in the future.

"Ordinary Platinum-grade equipment is priced at over 500,000."

"If I sell this sword to Dragon Soul, charging them 3 million shouldn't be too much, right?"

Muttering in a low voice, a smile appeared at the corner of Chen Ming's mouth. He then turned his attention to the remaining treasure chest.

Without hesitation, he activated his talent.

Hummm~

A faint light flew from Chen Ming's hand and landed on the chest.

[Ding-dong, you have used your Forbidden Talent on the target [Hidden Map Chest], achieving a three-tier upgrade.]

[Congratulations, you have obtained the item — Hidden Map Chest (Epic-grade).]

[Ding-dong, you have used your Forbidden Talent on the target [Hidden Map Chest], successfully enchanting it with a blue affix: compatibility.]

[compatibility (Blue): This chest is guaranteed to yield equipment or items that are compatible with your class.]
