131: Chapter 131: Some have already been wiped out, and these four will not escape either!

[Mechanical Power Shield] (legendary rank) Disposable defensive item.

After equipping, it increases one's own physical defense by 500 points and magical defense by 400 points.

It also comes with a shield effect of 100,000 base health + 500% of one's own health, lasting for 15 minutes.

Each time the shield is completely depleted, it consumes 150 points of durability. Once the durability is completely consumed, it can be replenished using [reinforced thousand-pattern steel], up to a maximum of 5 times.

[Scrap King's Special Craftsmanship]: Durability replenishment count increased by 100%.

[Scrap King's Overload Mode]: After activation, base attributes increase by 50%, and durability loss increases by 70%.

Durability: 1000 / 1000

Bingo! Zhang Jian snapped his fingers.

Now, all four of them had a legendary rank [Mechanical Power Shield].

He now had quite a bit of confidence in challenging the Hell-Rank [Wilderness Battlefield] Dungeon.

Zhang Jian directly handed the remaining six pieces to Ye Xun, asking him to sell them on his behalf.

According to him, this item should be able to sell for around one or two million in an instant.

That's right. Even though it's of excellence quality, it also comes with body fragments of an epic-grade BOSS.

With such outstanding attributes, it could only barely cover the cost of the Materials.

One can see how difficult it is to make a living in the crafting industry.

If it weren't for Zhang Jian's various corresponding entry bonuses, he would have lost everything long ago.

After crafting equipment for several hours, Zhang Jian's energy was greatly depleted. He rested early that night.

Wang Fei and the others couldn't stand the boredom, so they teamed up and went out to the wild to grind for over three hours before returning.

Although there weren't any valuable drops, and the experience points couldn't compare to when they were grinding Dungeons with Zhang Jian.

But fortunately, they killed quite a few monsters, upgrading their equipment by one Rank, bringing it on par with their own Rank.

When the time came the next day, the four of them arrived at the Professionals Association again.

As soon as their figures appeared at the courtyard gate, someone notified President Li Husheng.

When the four of them arrived at the Dungeon, they found him waiting there with a group of people from the Professionals Association.

Seeing this formation, Zhang Jian was initially a bit vigilant, thinking that Li Zhihai was organizing a group to take action against him.

As it turned out, the other party's attitude was very respectful, and only after showing his credentials did he realize it was President Li Husheng.

Seeing the young appearance of the four and the galaxy badge on their chests, Li Husheng felt both envious and awestruck.

After chatting for a while, he stated his purpose.

For breaking the original Dungeon record and activating the Hell-Rank difficulty, the Tacheng Professionals Association was willing to provide 1 million and 5 million respectively as rewards for the four-person team.

Such a figure might have surprised Zhang Jian in the past, but now, it completely failed to move him.

Seeing the expressions of the four, Li Husheng understood that this reward money probably didn't mean much to them. However, even if they didn't care, he couldn't afford not to give it.

Zhang Jian and the others expressed their gratitude at the right time. Seeing that he could strike up a conversation, Li Husheng then revealed his main purpose.

"I wonder if your team is still looking for people?"

Wang Fei looked at him vigilantly. Is he here to steal the fruits of our labor?

Zhang Jian also looked displeased, "President Li, just say what you have to say directly."

Li Husheng's expression was awkward. "You must have misunderstood."

"I just think the Hell-Rank Dungeon difficulty is extremely high, and I wanted to find a few capable assistants for you."

Zhang Jian waved his hand. "Our team works just fine together, we don't need anyone else."

Li Husheng got anxious. "The six people I contacted are all top-tier Professionals at Rank 25. Except for one support Professional, the other five are all aiming to walk the [Legendary Path]."

"Currently, four of them have all their skills maxed out, and their equipment is basically all legendary rank, with impressive combat power."

"Moreover, these six people often level up and grind Dungeons together, possessing quite a bit of tacit understanding."

"With them joining as your teammates, the chances of clearing the Hell-Rank difficulty will certainly be higher."

Wang Fei sneered, "They don't even have all skills maxed out, and their equipment isn't a set. What's the use of such teammates?"

Li Husheng's face looked a bit ugly. "According to what you're saying, those are peerless Prodigies of a higher level; there aren't many in our entire China."

Wei Donglai also leaned in. "How do the people you found compare to Zhu Jiurong and Yue Linyuan?"

Li Husheng said in surprise. "Those two are known as the Twin Prodigies of the Capital. They are the most outstanding young people of this generation, and both are Divine-Grade Professionals."

"In terms of current combat power, these six might be slightly better, but in terms of potential, they are far inferior."

Zhang Jian shook his head. "We appreciate President Li's kindness." "If it's only to this extent, having them join our team does more harm than good."

Yan Han also looked at him with pity. He's so old, why is he so clueless about his own standing?

Zhang Jian didn't want to waste any more words with him, so he led his people directly to the Dungeon and entered.

The middle-aged man in charge wanted to stop them, but was scared off by a single look from him and didn't dare to take action.

"Oh my, this is too rash!" Li Husheng sighed heavily on the side.

Other staff members of the Professionals Association and other Professionals over Rank 30 looked at each other in dismay.

Are young people nowadays this brave? A full team of 10, yet they insist on clearing it with 4 people?

Many of them didn't understand the difficulty of the Hell-Rank, but seeing the President's worried look, it seemed to be a serious matter.

Someone stepped forward to console him. "President, they are the team that broke the normal mode Dungeon record twice in a row; maybe they really have confidence."

Li Husheng sighed, his eyes blank. "Perhaps."

The scene fell into silence for a moment.

"Where are they?" Just then, several young people rushed in. Looking at the crowd in front of the Dungeon, they asked in unison.

The yellow-haired young man in the lead grabbed Li Husheng and asked urgently, "Uncle Li, where are those kids you mentioned?"

Li Husheng waved his hand helplessly. "They've already gone in!"

The yellow-haired young man was stunned. "Four people went in? Hell-Rank?"

Li Husheng nodded. "Oh no, it's over!" The yellow-haired young man slapped his thigh.

Amidst the puzzled gazes of the crowd, he said loudly, "In Magic City, a 10-person team challenged the same 25-Rank Dungeon's Hell-Rank difficulty this morning."

A glimmer of light returned to Li Husheng's eyes, and he asked curiously, "And the result?"

"They were almost completely wiped out!" The yellow-haired man's eyes were filled with sorrow.

"Among these 10 people, everyone's strength was not weak, and their captain, You Sheng, was a Divine-Grade Professional, and also the strongest among the sophomore students at Galaxy Academy."

"A few days ago, they cleared the Hell-Rank for the first time and became famous in Magic City."

"This time they were expected to clear the Perfect-Rank, but the Dungeon BOSS suddenly exploded, instantly killing several people in succession; no one could stop it."

"Except for You Sheng, who relied on the characteristics of his galaxy badge to luckily survive, everyone else died!"

His words were like a thunderbolt, directly shocking everyone present.

After a full few minutes of silence, someone carefully asked, "If that's the case, won't this four-person team surely die?"

Li Husheng shook his head. "They are also students of Galaxy Academy. They won't die, but getting heavily injured and being teleported back to the academy is probably unavoidable."

Upon hearing this, the yellow-haired man breathed a sigh of relief. "Then I'll notify You Sheng and have their academy prepare to receive them!"
