43: Frozen underground, the seventh treasure!

Xia Moyanyu joining the team was expected, but it happened earlier than anticipated; this was thanks to Fatty Qin subtly revealing Lin Yue's strength.

In reality, Lin Yue possessed substantial assets—he was wealthy, handsome, and had formidable gaming skills. Under Fatty Qin's persuasive tongue, Xia Moyanyu couldn't help but be moved.

Originally, Lin Yue planned to offer Xia Moyanyu a salary, just like he did for Fatty Qin and Old Bai, but to his surprise, she flatly refused.

She was a bit of a rich girl in real life with a wealthy family background. Her willingness to join Lin Yue's team was entirely due to his personal charisma.

Unfortunately, Xia Moyanyu's friend, Yun Ruoqing, belonged to the Dragon Concealment Pavilion. Otherwise, if the two of them had joined Lin Yue's forces together, the team's strength would have been terrifyingly high.

Handing the subsequent walkthrough over to Fatty Qin, Lin Yue waved his hand and left Novice Village No. 8888.

“Collect the treasure of the gods Mission Progress (6/9)”

With the mission progress now at two-thirds, Lin Yue was in no hurry to log off. He wanted to seize the time to get his hands on the remaining three treasures as soon as possible.

Stepping out of the teleportation array, Lin Yue followed the clues in his memory and headed to the Novice Village's tailor shop.

The proprietress of the tailor shop was sitting on a chair embroidering. Seeing an Adventurer enter, a signature smile appeared on her face.

“What a rare guest, Adventurer. What would you like?”

Taking ten rolls of Mountain Range Wolf King pelts from his backpack, Lin Yue said with a smile, “Proprietress, make me a pair of Special Grade Cold-Protection Suit.”

Looking at the Wolf King pelts on the table, the proprietress showed a look of surprise. “Adventurer, you actually obtained so many Wolf King pelts. Come back and collect it in an hour.”

The proprietress took the Wolf King pelts, and Lin Yue nodded, placed five silver coins on the table, and turned to walk out of the tailor shop.

It took an hour to craft the Special Grade Cold-Protection Suit. Lin Yue didn't stay idle during this time and turned to walk into the tavern. “Boss, give me twenty flasks of blazing fire wine!”

After buying the blazing fire wine, Lin Yue immediately went into the blacksmith shop to buy an Advanced Pickaxe and an Advanced Shovel... Next was the item shop for Town Return Scrolls, lighting torches, and so on.

After purchasing the entire series of items, Lin Yue finally returned to the tailor shop, where the Special Grade Cold-Protection Suit was ready.

The reason he prepared so many things was all related to the seventh treasure. This was the only treasure that could be obtained directly without going through a boss battle.

However, it was also not easy to obtain. The most critical item was the Special Grade Cold-Protection Suit; one must have this equipment to even have the possibility of excavating the treasure.

According to the original plan, Lin Yue would have needed to go to the Novice Village valley to farm ten Mountain Range Wolf King bosses. However, while doing the Gold Swallowing Beast mission yesterday, he happened to collect ten Mountain Range Wolf King pelts, which saved him a significant amount of time.

In the Novice Village Western Mine, to obtain this seventh treasure of the gods, one must reach the 99th floor of the mine and excavate the treasure that has been frozen deep underground for a long time.

With everything prepared, Lin Yue activated Sprint. With wind beneath his feet, he ran quickly toward the Novice Village Western Mine.

This mission was quite time-consuming, so he had to hurry.

Meanwhile, the sky was just beginning to brighten.

In the offline meeting room of the Overlord Guild club.

Overlord Invincible was sitting in the main seat presiding over the meeting.

“Calling everyone here so early, I assume you all know the reason. Today is the day our Overlord Guild makes its name. We are going to take down the first Level 11 world boss!”

As his words fell, everyone burst into applause, each looking as if they had been injected with chicken blood.

“The Young Lord is awesome! The Young Lord is mighty!”

“Our Overlord Guild shall stand at the top of the world!”

“Haha, Young Lord, we've been waiting for this moment for days.”

Inside the meeting room, all the middle management of the Overlord Guild were talking at once, creating a lively atmosphere.

“Everyone has worked hard these past few days, and I've seen your efforts. The Ba Tian Group and the Overlord Guild share glory and disgrace. With this first kill of a world boss, our Overlord Guild's reputation will soar, and the Group will also reach new heights!”

Overlord Invincible showed a rare smile, speaking with a slightly impassioned tone.

“Analyst, report the data to everyone!”

At Overlord Invincible's command, the Analyst nodded and opened the data sheet.

“According to the statistics from ten minutes ago, all two hundred players in our Overlord Guild's elite team have reached Level 12. Among the ordinary guild members, 3,609 have reached Level 11, and 418 have reached Level 10. These figures are already at the top of all major guilds in the Dragon Kingdom. It can be said that our Overlord Guild is now the number one guild in the Dragon Kingdom!”

“Clap, clap, clap!”

The scene was enthusiastic. Under the Analyst's infectious rendering, everyone's expression was excited.

Overlord Invincible waved his hand, and the Analyst stepped down.

“Alright, now, everyone log on and stand by. All management levels arrange your respective teams. Once I give the order, it will be time to attack the world boss. Meeting adjourned!”

As Overlord Invincible's order was issued, everyone moved in unison, logging on one after another to begin arrangements and coordination.

Overlord Invincible was the only one left in the meeting room. He paced around, the corners of his mouth curling upward.

“White Emperor, oh White Emperor, once my Overlord Guild solidifies the throne of number one, so what if your personal strength is even stronger?”

“Haha...”

In the empty meeting room, Overlord Invincible's hearty laughter echoed in the air until it faded into silence.

Novice Village Mine, 7th Floor.

One Explosive Flame after another burst in the air, and Cave Zombies flailed their hands in the flames as they slowly collapsed to the ground.

Cave Zombies were Level 7 wild monsters. There were nearly a hundred of them on almost every floor of the mine. Once all the monsters were cleared, the entrance to the next floor would appear.

These Cave Zombies had less than two thousand health. With just a casual Chain Fireball from Lin Yue, seven or eight Cave Zombies were instantly killed.

Weak, they were simply too weak!

Other than increasing some health, they had no use. Occasionally, they dropped a few copper coins, which Lin Yue didn't even bother to pick up.

In this manner, after clearing one floor of the mine, his health increased by over four hundred. Including the time spent walking and finding monsters, he could clear two floors per minute.

After half an hour, by the time Lin Yue reached the 70th floor, his health had increased by another 30,000 points, currently sitting at 430,000 points.

But upon descending to the 71st floor, the situation changed dramatically.

The mine floors before the 70th were just ordinary caves, but by the 71st floor, the surrounding walls were already covered in a layer of ice crystals.

The air throughout the mine was filled with wisps of cold mist, and a noticeable chill could already be felt.

Taking a mouthful of blazing fire wine, his body warmed up quite a bit. There was no need to wear the cold-resistant clothing yet; the blazing fire wine could handle it.

He quickly cleared floors 71 through 80. Upon reaching the next floor, the surrounding walls and ground were covered in frost, making the entire floor look like a natural ice cellar.

The temperature dropped abruptly.
