141: Good things brought by Shen Yansheng
After everyone had leveled up and allocated their free attribute points,
the few who remained to farm Forest Guardians stayed, while the rest went out for free activities.
Though it was called 'free activities,' they weren't idle; instead, they formed teams and headed to nearby areas to hunt Earth Palace Creatures and goblins.
"Where should I go now? Should I still go to that big forest to hunt?"
Lord Liu Yang stood on the high city wall, looking around with a bit of a headache.
Since arriving at Stone Mountain Base, he had only been to the One-Line Sky Canyon and the big forest, knowing nothing about the other areas.
Where were there many monsters?
Where were the monsters densely packed?
Where was the terrain flat and safe?
Or where did goblin teams appear?
He knew nothing at all.
"Forget it, I'll just pick a direction and go."
Shaking his head and no longer overthinking it, Liu Yang was about to jump off the city wall and head out.
Just then, a shout came from behind him: "Lord Liu Yang, Team Leader Shen wants to see you in the command room."
"Shen Yansheng is looking for me?" Liu Yang paused, turning his head back in confusion, only to see a tall, thin man running towards him, shouting loudly.
After a moment of thought, Liu Yang decided to go.
So he shouted back "Got it" to the messenger, then with a few leaps, he rushed towards the mountaintop.
Before long, Liu Yang arrived at the command room on the mountaintop.
At this time, all the personnel from other teams had already gone out to hunt monsters and level up, so only Shen Yansheng was in the command room.
"I finally found you," Shen Yansheng said, a look of relief on his face as soon as Liu Yang entered the room.
"I sent you N messages, but you didn't reply."
Hearing this, Liu Yang quietly brought up his game panel and saw Shen Yansheng's messages beeping rapidly.
Things were indeed as he said.
"Hey, look at you, are you afraid I'd run off or something?"
Liu Yang pulled out a chair, sat down casually, and quipped.
"Of course! Without a Big Boss like you, I wouldn't feel safe staying in this base."
Shen Yansheng laughed, playing along with Liu Yang's words.
"Don't believe him," Liu Yang said, giving him a disdainful look, his expression very dismissive.
With Shen Yansheng's personality, he wouldn't be afraid even if he charged to the front lines, so how could he be afraid of not feeling safe?
If a young girl had said that, there might have been a slight possibility, but for him...
"Alright, what's so urgent that you had to call me here?"
Liu Yang didn't want to waste too much time and got straight to the point.
"Guess?"
"Do you think I'll guess?"
The two stared at each other for a moment, then burst into laughter.
Just as quickly, the laughter stopped, and Shen Yansheng, with a somewhat smug expression, pulled out an item and pushed it in front of Liu Yang.
"See if you can use it? It took me a lot of effort to find."
Liu Yang fixed his gaze on it, and the item's attributes appeared before him.
【10% Monster Drop Rate Scroll (72 hours): After use, monster drop rate increases by 10% for 72 hours.】
Looking at the item before him, Liu Yang felt a bit of pity.
10% was negligible.
Not only was the increase small, but it also had a time limit.
If it were a double or even higher multiplier scroll, 72 hours, or even 12 hours, would be acceptable.
But even though it was small, it still added 10%, didn't it?
What if one day he gathered 190% or some other amount, then adding this would be just right.
"Thank you, this item is very useful to me, it's just that the attributes are a bit lacking."
Liu Yang first thanked Shen Yansheng but also expressed his opinion.
There was nothing wrong with being straightforward about this item.
Only by letting people know his true thoughts could they work hard to find things for him, right?
What if you said it was great, and they took it seriously?
"Hahaha, I knew you'd like it."
Shen Yansheng laughed heartily, having received Liu Yang's approval, as if he had done something incredible.
Then, without waiting for Liu Yang to say anything, he pulled out another item.
When Liu Yang saw his actions, his heart immediately rejoiced: "There's more?"
When Shen Yansheng removed his hand, a small, round, colorful and dazzling ring appeared before Liu Yang.
【Blessing of the Goddess of Luck Earring: After wearing, increases monster drop rate by 20%.】
"Holy crap!"
"Jewelry???"
Liu Yang was astonished, jumping up from his chair in surprise.
Having been pulled into the Dungeon Survival Game for so long, this was the first time he had seen a piece of jewelry equipment.
Well, the gold necklace he had obtained earlier didn't count, nor did the Medal of Glory.
Liu Yang quickly grabbed the earring, then directly pierced his earlobe and put it on.
Although its appearance was undeniably feminine, for the sake of the drop rate attribute, Liu Yang couldn't care less.
Besides, it was just an earring.
If the attributes were good enough, even cross-dressing as a Big Boss wouldn't be out of the question.
He happily glanced at his status page, seeing that his monster drop rate had already increased to +130%.
"This way, if I use the 10% drop rate scroll, it'll be 140%."
"That means, if I can gather another 60% drop rate, I'll have at least 72 hours of skill book page drop time."
Thinking of this, Liu Yang wished he could achieve his desire right now.
So, he turned to Shen Yansheng, looking at him with burning eyes, and said affectionately: "Is there more???"
"Get lost!"
Shen Yansheng was stunned, then became furious.
Just these two items had cost him half a night's sleep, asking everyone in the base.
He didn't even mention what he had paid, just the manpower alone had consumed a lot.
To expect more, unless he asked on the world channel or bought them at a high price in the Auction House.
But.
Things weren't as good as imagined.
After Liu Yang joined Stone Mountain Base, he had continuously sent alliance invitations to various teams, big and small, but no one had agreed to join.
The reason was not anything else, but that other teams were doing the same thing as him.
So, if there were good items, they were probably circulating among other teams.
After the joke, Liu Yang's expression became serious: "I'll take these two items. I won't say thanks or anything, just message me if you need anything."
"Also, if it's convenient, please continue to help me collect these types of items."
"Okay," Shen Yansheng nodded seriously, agreeing.
He didn't ask Liu Yang why he was collecting these, nor did he ask what they were for.
But it was obvious without thinking that stacking up monster drop rate definitely had something to do with item drop rates.
He just didn't know if it meant better items would drop more easily or something else.
Nor did he know how high the drop rate attribute needed to be stacked.
He had no intention of stacking monster drop rate attributes himself.
Because he understood that compared to Liu Yang, his starting drop rate attribute was too low.
Not to mention anything else, he couldn't even achieve the 50% reward for being at the top of the Bloody Slaughter Ranking, let alone anything else.
Afterward, Liu Yang didn't delay any further.
Bidding farewell to Shen Yansheng, he casually asked where there were large goblin teams nearby, and after getting the information, he headed straight towards the target location.
About an hour later, Liu Yang appeared beside a swamp.
And the place he wanted to go was on the other side of this swamp.
