225: Chapter 225 Mythical Level? The Three Part-Time Workers Are Stunned!

The four golden characters formed from data streams—

【Congratulations and Get Rich】—hung brazenly above the Candy Castle, every stroke exuding a thick sense of absurdity and incongruity.

Salos, Oro, and Arrow of the Moon, the three giants at the apex of the Source Realm's pyramid, all wore identical expressions at this moment.

Dazed.

They tilted their heads back, the four vulgar and direct characters reflected in their pupils, plunging them into a state of system crash.

A ritual? Metaphysics?

Is this the 'medium to communicate with heaven and earth' that you, you spendthrift, spoke of?

"Congratulations and Get Rich"?

Are you trying to ask us for red envelopes?

Salos even suspected he had been hit by some high-level mental control skill.

Oro's elegant mask shattered, the corner of his mouth twitching slightly.

He used all the cultivation he possessed in his life to keep himself from immediately questioning Chen You about whether he was merely trifling with them.

Even Arrow of the Moon's usually cold and clear eyes were filled with bewilderment.

She completely failed to understand why Chen You would do this.

Did this have even half a shred of connection to the secret technique they imagined—one that invoked the laws of heaven and earth and was filled with mystical charm?!

However, Chen You paid no mind to the trio's reaction.

He stood with his hands behind his back, facing the four large characters against the wind, a satisfied smile gracing his face, as if admiring a peerless masterpiece of ink painting.

Just as Arrow of the Moon was preparing to say something to ease the atmosphere...

The four large characters suspended in the air suddenly erupted in a dazzling golden light!

That brilliant radiance descended like a golden waterfall from the sky.

It did not scatter outwards but instead poured with pinpoint accuracy entirely into the body of the giant Jelly Bear BOSS dozing at the entrance of the castle!

The originally cute and charming 【King of Rainbow Candy · Teddy】 let out a painful roar that shook the heavens the moment the golden light touched him!

"ROAR—!!!"

The Jelly Bear's massive body began to swell and twist violently!

The originally bouncy jelly texture rapidly hardened, taking on a dark, glazed hue.

The giant lollipop in its hand also ignited with blazing seven-colored flames, transforming into a candy warhammer exuding terrifying pressure.

Its eyes snapped wide open!

They were no longer the dull button eyes, but a pair of golden vertical pupils burning with mythic radiance!

A terrifying aura, far surpassing that of an ordinary Lord-level BOSS, swept across the entire area like a tsunami!

The expressions of Salos and the other two changed drastically; they were actually forced back a step by this imposing aura!

Simultaneously, a blood-red system notification popped up before the four of them.

[Warning: The Anniversary Celebration dungeon 【Land of Colors】 has been affected by an unknown mysterious power. The final lord 【King of Rainbow Candy · Teddy】 has undergone a Mythic Grade mutation!]

[The current lord has been promoted to: 【Candy Tyrant · Teddy (Mythic Grade Hidden)】 (LV92)!]

[System Notification: The drop list has been updated. Defeating 【Candy Tyrant · Teddy】 will have an extremely high probability of dropping Mythic Grade items!]

Boom!

The final notification directly blasted the minds of the three top players until they were burnt to a crisp!

Mythic Grade items!

Why were the three of them working for a level 22 rookie?

Only for a slim chance to obtain the Legendary Set blueprint!

And now you tell me there's a chance to drop Mythic Grade!

What the hell is surprise?

This is what you call surprise!

That was the supreme reward that only existed in theory in the Source Realm, something no player had ever witnessed!

It was the ultimate pursuit that all top guilds had failed to glimpse despite spending countless resources to conquer the highest difficulty BOSSes!

And now, it just appeared!

All because of an inexplicable firecracker, a vulgar blessing of "Congratulations and Get Rich."

The three of them abruptly turned their heads, their gazes locked tightly onto Chen You.

Shock, horror, disbelief, and... fervor!

It turned out that everything he said was true!

That seemingly absurd firecracker, that vulgar blessing, truly was a form of 'metaphysics' they couldn't comprehend, one capable of influencing the underlying rules of the game!

This wasn't luck at all!

This was a mysterious power they had never heard of, capable of prying open 'Destiny' itself!

At this moment, all their previous doubts, dissatisfaction, and frustration vanished like smoke.

What replaced them was endless hope and... relief!

Relief that they had entered this dungeon!

Relief that they had the chance to get on this ride!

Working for free? No, the boss is generous!

They could work this job for a lifetime!

Salos looked at Chen You, his throat bobbing as he asked, "You... you knew this would happen a long time ago?"

Oro's eyes flashed with sharp light; he had completely 'enlightened,' his tone carrying a trace of tremor.

"So that's how it is... 'Congratulations and Get Rich' is itself a 'spell' that invokes fortune!"

The two of them began their frantic self-persuasion once more.

They suddenly regretted immensely not buying that Monarch Grand Firecracker back then.

Now, they couldn't even buy it if they wanted to!

Chen You let out a long sigh in his heart, thinking: System, you're decent, you understand me!

On the surface, however, he merely smiled enigmatically, neither admitting nor denying anything.

With his hands behind his back, he casually glanced at the Candy Tyrant, whose appearance had completely transformed.

Then he glanced at the three people whose breathing had become rapid and spoke lightly.

"What are you still standing around for?"

"Waiting for me to pull the aggro?"

One sentence instantly ignited the powder keg!

"Roar!" Salos was the first to react.

Unprecedented greed and fighting spirit erupted in his eyes. His entire body transformed into a blood-red whirlwind, his great axe spewing surging rage as he charged straight out!

"Mine!" Oro also stopped maintaining his elegance, raising his Divine Oracle Staff high. Amidst his chanting, a Heavenly Light of Judgment descended mightily!

Arrow of the Moon gracefully retreated, her longbow fully drawn. An arrow shimmering with starlight tore through the air, launching later but arriving first!

In the high-level player circles of the Source Realm, there was also a piece of 'metaphysics' circulating among Source Realm players—

When teaming up to kill a BOSS, the higher the damage dealt to the BOSS, the greater the probability of dropping equipment specific to one's own class!

Whether it was true or false, no one knew, but at this moment, under the temptation of a Mythic Grade item, it was better to believe it was true!

The three top powerhouses unleashed their strongest combat prowess without reservation in that instant!

Chen You felt dazzling multicolored lights flashing before his eyes. The violent energy impact made it hard for him to open his eyes.

The Mythic Grade BOSS, which had just completed its transformation and possessed an overwhelming aura, was precisely hit by the three world-destroying attacks before it could even utter a single line of dialogue!

"BOOM—!!!"

Amidst the deafening explosion, the Candy Tyrant's glazed body began to crack inch by inch, starting from the core where it was struck.

Only three seconds.

The battle was over.

The massive BOSS collapsed with a crash, dissolving into scattered points of multicolored light.

In its place, only a simple, ancient blueprint, shimmering with seven-colored divine light, floated quietly.

[System Notification: Your team has successfully defeated 【Candy Tyrant · Teddy (Mythic Grade Hidden BOSS)】. You have obtained 10 Experience Points.]

Without waiting for a reaction, Salos subconsciously selected 'Loot'.

[System Notification: Your team has obtained the Mythic Grade item—【Blueprint: Divine Forging Radiance · Moon God's Patrol Helmet】!]

It actually dropped a Mythic Grade Set Blueprint!

Arrow of the Moon's breathing completely stopped the moment she saw the blueprint's name.

Two patches of red flushed onto her eternally frozen face, and her cold eyes ignited with a fierce flame.

It was desire!

The desire of an Archer for the ultimate equipment that was the pursuit of her entire life!

The next second, a standard loot distribution interface popped up before the four of them.

[Blueprint: Divine Forging Radiance · Moon God's Patrol Helmet (Mythic)]

[Need] [Greed] [Forfeit]

The three options were clearly delineated.

A bone-chilling coldness suddenly enveloped the entire area.

Everyone looked in horror toward the source of the chill—Arrow of the Moon.

This Elf God Clan queen, usually as cold as the moon and seemingly detached from worldly affairs, now had faint silver moonlight swirling around her body, her silver hair moving without wind.

She stepped forward slowly, her feet bare.

Her pure eyes swept over Salos and Oro.

"Do you two want to fight me for it?"
