30: Thirteen hours of energy

Chapter 30: Thirteen Hours of Charging

He woke up the next day.

Lu Ran was about to go to school for the morning meeting.

However, he noticed that Black Fire City's streets were bustling with many more people.

Many of them were not dressed like locals.

They all came from the Central Square's teleportation array.

On the rooftop.

Ye Hongyi looked at the crowds coming and going on the street outside.

She frowned deeply and mused, "Why are so many people suddenly coming to Black Fire City? There are quite a few high-level combat professionals among them, and even people from other large guilds besides our Four Great Guilds."

"Could it be that Lu Ran has been exposed?" Lei Tai asked worriedly from the side.

"I'll have someone check," Ye Hongyi said, deep in thought.

Just then, Liu Xinxin suddenly came up the stairs.

She said, "No need to check. These people are here in Black Fire City, and it has nothing to do with Lu Ran. It's because of a Wild BOSS."

Upon hearing this, Ye Hongyi and Lei Tai turned to look at Liu Xinxin.

Ye Hongyi asked, "A Wild BOSS appeared near Black Fire City?"

Seeing Liu Xinxin nod, Ye Hongyi and Lei Tai immediately understood.

Wild BOSSes, also known as Fortune BOSSes, appear randomly in the world at random times and locations.

Three hours before they appear, a teleportation array and unusual phenomena will manifest, making it easier for people to discover them.

Afterward, news spreads, attracting high-level combat professionals from various main cities across the country to try their luck.

Of course, there are also many low-level players who want to get rich quickly and will follow, taking risks.

Although the Wild BOSS's level is also random, it generally won't be very low.

Its attack won't be very high either; it won't instantly kill everything.

But its HP will be terrifying!

It requires all professionals to surround and attack it, with the reward recipient determined by who lands the last hit on the BOSS.

This means that even if you are a newcomer and you land the final blow on the BOSS, the reward will be yours.

This is an opportunity!

The worst drop from a Wild BOSS is Epic!

And it's definitely unranked!

Its attributes are also extremely exaggerated; equipment dropped by a Wild BOSS is often ridiculously valuable!

If someone is lucky enough to get the last hit and receive the reward, they essentially become instantly rich.

Of course, the danger is still very high.

Every time a Wild BOSS appears, a certain number of low-level professionals unfortunately get killed, and once they die, they are truly dead.

But the immense temptation still attracts a continuous stream of professionals to try their luck.

These Three Guild Leaders naturally had no interest; they weren't lacking equipment or money, and they were too lazy to get involved. Besides, with so many people attacking, the probability of getting the last hit was extremely small.

It was basically just going along for the ride.

But at this moment, Liu Xinxin suddenly said, "Perhaps Lu Ran can try."

Hmm?

Ye Hongyi and Lei Tai looked at Liu Xinxin.

The latter said, "Lu Ran's Blood Spear has been charging all night, its power is imaginable. He just needs to keep an eye on the BOSS's HP, and when it's almost time, directly throw the Blood Spear. He can basically get the last hit with 100% certainty."

Instantly, Ye Hongyi and Lei Tai's eyes lit up.

Because the Wild BOSS's rewards are not just top-tier equipment, but also generous experience rewards!

Liu Xinxin continued, "Calculating the time, Lu Ran's Blood Spear should have been charging for over twelve hours. Based on Lu Ran's current spell attack, and the Blood Spear charging for twelve hours, it's 12.96 million damage. Even after deducting the damage offset by the Wild BOSS's magic defense, it can still reach at least ten million damage!"

As expected of Liu Xinxin, she instantly calculated the damage of Lu Ran's charged Blood Spear.

Ye Hongyi and Lei Tai were both greatly surprised to hear this.

Ten million damage!

A Blood Spear charged overnight could instantly kill any professional in the current world!

Lu Ran is only Level 15!

"The Wild BOSS hasn't appeared yet, probably another forty minutes."

"Level unknown, type unknown, but HP cannot exceed fifty million."

"So, Lu Ran only needs to wait for the Wild BOSS's HP to be gang-beaten to below one-fifth, then immediately release the Blood Spear, and he will definitely secure it!"

"Regardless of the equipment rewards, just calculating that experience reward alone is enough to raise Lu Ran's current level by several levels."

"And don't forget, Lu Ran's casting range is at least forty kilometers!"

...

On the other side.

When Lu Ran and Qin Wuyao were having their morning meeting, they also heard news about a Wild BOSS appearing outside Black Fire City.

Moreover, the specific location and coordinates were publicly revealed.

Even these new students were excitedly eager to try.

But they were quickly doused with cold water by Principal Jiang Zhenbei, who noticed this phenomenon.

"The Wild BOSS involves a large number of participants, and most of them are five-person teams."

"Under the high burst of five high-level combat professionals, the probability of getting the last hit is naturally greater."

"I know this is very tempting for you, but take a good look at your own meager attributes."

"Let's not even talk about the near-impossible chance of getting the last hit, I just ask you, can you withstand one area-of-effect burst from the BOSS?"

"With your current abilities, you'll die if the Wild BOSS even grazes you!"

"So, for the almost impossible reward of the Wild BOSS, if you lose your life, weigh it yourselves."

...

After all, they were students, and the principal was anxious seeing a bunch of hotheads eager to try.

If he didn't persuade them, a large number of new players running out to their deaths would be a joke!

This had an effect; many students who were just curious immediately gave up the idea.

Because at this stage, except for Lu Ran and Qin Wuyao, most people were still below Level 10!

Offensive-type professionals only had two attack skills.

With that pitiful attack, plus cooldowns, and the HP that would kill them if the BOSS even scratched them.

It was better not to get involved.

Afterward, in the newcomer rankings, without surprise, Lu Ran, at Level 15, continued to dominate the first place!

By now, the students were almost accustomed to Lu Ran, the Undead Mage, crushing Qin Wuyao's hidden profession and several other rare professions.

After the morning meeting, Lu Ran returned to his residence.

Ye Hongyi and the others were already waiting.

"Let's go, out of the city," Ye Hongyi said.

"What for? Aren't we supposed to run the Level 15 dungeon today?" Lu Ran asked curiously.

"No rush. Let's go deal with that Wild BOSS first. If you get the Wild BOSS's equipment, you can also get a super high experience reward, which can be equivalent to running quite a few dungeons," Ye Hongyi explained.

Go kill a Wild BOSS?

Lu Ran mused, "Isn't that a bit dangerous? The principal just said that the Wild BOSS has very high attack, and newcomers can easily be instantly killed."

Lei Tai immediately widened his eyes and said, "Your casting range is forty kilometers, kid. The BOSS can forget about touching you. What's there to be afraid of? Besides, haven't you released your Blood Spear yet?"

Only then did Lu Ran remember.

He quickly checked his skill panel, then nodded and said, "No, it's been charging for thirteen hours."

"That's enough. Let's go. The BOSS should have appeared by now," Liu Xinxin said, calculating the time. "But there's no need to rush too much. The BOSS has very high HP and often requires professionals to gang up on it for about an hour."
