Legend: One corpse-picking message per day

Chapter 176, Level 38! Undercurrents surge! Northern Xiong's decree! No mercy shown!

He Sheng had no idea that the Dark Night Emperor had put up a bounty of 100 million global coins to kill him!

The ratio of GlobalCoin to DragonCoin is 1:5!

That's equivalent to a kill order worth 500 million Dragon Coins!
If you exchange that for legendary gold coins, that's almost two hundred billion gold coins!

This price is almost the same as the price of two divine rings.

Of course, once you reach the level of a divine ring, it's something that money simply can't buy in the hands of the big shots.

Only barter!

So-called price!
For example, a defensive ring is worth 50 billion gold coins.

That price was set for the poor.

The price is just for what you've produced.

It's impossible to give you more.

Many things are like that here.

For example, a Hell Skeleton Elf card is highly sought after by wealthy factions.

But they won't raise the price to a staggering tens of billions just because of this card.

Although this price is nothing to the big banks, the problem is that they are unwilling to pay this price.

If you're a poor person and you get lucky and win a card that gives you so much money, wouldn't you completely turn your life around?
Perhaps they really want it... but actually, those attributes are nothing to players who have been playing for hundreds of years.

Attributes are accumulated little by little...

However, after hundreds of years of development, major powers have long since fixed prices for all kinds of goods.

In other words, the path to ascension is completely blocked!
Otherwise, why don't they sell the various cards, fashion fragments, and life crystals they receive to ordinary players?
To put it bluntly, they don't want an ordinary person like you to become stronger.

Unless you're incredibly lucky and get a divine blessing to join a major guild, you'll still need to build a network of connections to progress...

For example, if He Sheng hadn't met Yu Jie, and then Bu Mie Qian Qian and the others, it would have been very difficult for him to acquire resources...

If it weren't for Zhou Xiangbo, this invisible but powerful figure, I might have already taken my family and fled to a big city...

In short, in any era, it's difficult to get by without connections...

Now, the enraged Dark Night Emperor has offered a staggering price of nearly 200 billion gold coins to kill He Sheng!

This temptation is extremely tempting for many players!
How long would it take an average player to accumulate that amount?
Therefore, when this bounty was posted on the dark web, the entire dark web went crazy!
The wanted notice includes He Sheng's entire address and family information!
Clear at a glance!
They look like an ordinary family!
The target of the mission is only a player around level 40!

He Sheng's equipment stats have also been posted:
The complete set is legendary, with two or three mythical items.

Possibly a full set of level 2 fashion items.

The equipment encyclopedia at this level is likely to be fully completed, and the monster encyclopedia is likely to be mostly completed.

His strength is monstrous among those of the same level!
Posting these messages is, of course, a reminder to those who want to assassinate He Sheng.

Do not underestimate your opponent.

Most players around level 40 would shake their heads upon seeing this equipment.

Those who truly possess the strength to surpass He Sheng are basically the chosen ones of the major guilds.

The chances of them undertaking this task are zero!
However, there are also ordinary players who are level 50 or 60, and even level 70 or 80 or above!
Many clever ordinary players have been in big guilds for fifty or sixty years, or even hundreds of years.

Perhaps their costumes, monster illustrations, artifacts, etc. are just average, even inferior to those prodigies around level 40.

However, as long as you join the guild for group quests and leveling up, and don't die, you can always level up by killing monsters with the main group.

Clever veteran players can always manage to reach levels 70 or 80 and there are quite a few of them.

For these high-level, ordinary veteran players, killing He Sheng is no different from picking up money.

Because high-level equipment can make up for all the gaps!
In this world, basic high-level equipment is not hard to obtain.

For example, the Crimson Moon equipment is stronger than the Zuma equipment.

Slay elite Crimson Moon monsters, Crimson Moon demons, Twin-Headed King Kong, and monsters on Hard, Hell, and Treasure difficulty levels...

Especially the bosses in the difficult, hellish, and treasure-level difficulty levels, they are guaranteed to drop Crimson Moon equipment upon defeat.

Even if the Crimson Moon set is trash, wearing a level 40 ordinary Heavenly Demon God Armor or an ordinary Holy War set can still crush a newbie player wearing a Mythical beginner cloth armor.

High-level basic equipment isn't hard to obtain in this world; what's hard to get are higher-quality items, such as excellent, legendary, and mythical...

Therefore, so what if He Sheng is wearing Mythic Woma equipment now?
Against players wearing ordinary Fire Dragon Set, Heavenly Dragon Set, Divine Dragon Set, or even higher equipment, it's like an egg hitting a rock.

The bonus attributes are not even on the same level!

He Sheng is currently wearing equipment that only adds a few points to his attributes, while they might be wearing equipment that adds hundreds of points to their attributes.

Therefore, lured by the huge bounty, these high-level ordinary veteran players are the main force that poses the greatest threat to He Sheng.

Previously, there were various assassination missions on the dark web, but many of them were not easy to carry out.

Now, an average family player around level 40 is seen by countless veteran players as someone who just gives away money.

Upon seeing this news, countless veteran players' eyes lit up, they rubbed their hands together, and they were eager to give it a try...

……

He Sheng, being an honest and simple man, had no idea what the dark web was, so naturally he wouldn't see this message...

At this time, the Corpse King's Palace has been refreshed.

He killed the five or six hellish corpse kings that pounced on him first, and then didn't go up to fight any more hellish corpse kings.

Because Qiao'er was carrying bricks and selling garbage back and forth.

He couldn't have done this kind of manual labor by himself before.

Now that he has Qiao'er, he naturally doesn't want to waste her.

Even if you sold all the trash from forty Hell Corpse Kings, it would still be worth several million gold coins.

This amount of money is nothing to He Sheng now, but it's a lot of money to Qiao'er.

If I sell them all, I can make tens of thousands of dragon coins.

It'll be enough for their orphanage for a long time.

When they had killed half of the Hell Corpse King...
Swish!
A beam of white light rose up!
He Sheng has finally leveled up!
Unwavering Devotion: Mage, Level 38

Health Points: 179 + 160 + 45
Magic Points: 816 + 320 + 10%
Experience points: 3336-8200000
……

At level 38, you can learn level 3 magic shield.

Once he learns the level 3 shield skill, his defense will be greatly enhanced, and he will be able to absorb 15% more damage.

His health points had also reached a very high value at this time.

179 + 160 + 45 points.

179 is the base health of a level 38 mage.
160 is the bonus for Diamond VIP.
The 45-point bonus includes fashion items and divine blessings.

He had opened it himself before when he had nothing to do, and had even gotten some health bonuses.

However, the bonus each time is not much, only about 5 to 10 points.

Although the number is small, He Sheng naturally wouldn't mind.

A mage's health is already low, but with a magic shield protecting him, his survivability is greatly improved.

At this point, his total health points reached 384!
It has higher health than a level 40 Taoist.

In its class, it is definitely a tanky beast.

Although these attributes may not seem like much to high-level ordinary players, they are still quite impressive among players of the same level.

He Sheng understood this principle, but he was in no hurry.

No matter how anxious you are, you can't catch up with players who have been leveling up for hundreds of years in a short time.

What he needs to do now is to take it one step at a time and do a good job of each stage's attributes first.

In her thoughts, after all the Hell Corpse Kings were defeated, Qiao'er leveled up again.

The two were sexually aroused.
Let's start digging for treasure again!
He Sheng estimated that he could dig out another seven or eight treasure-filled golden corpse emperors.

Just as he was about to dig something, Yu Jie's urgent voice came through in a private message:

"Foolish heart, something terrible has happened!!!"

"What's wrong?" He Sheng asked curiously.

"You have a bounty on your head on the dark web!!!"

Yu Jie's slightly panicked voice came through.

"Dark web bounties? What does that mean?"

"The dark web is an extremely dangerous website..." Yu Jie explained the dark web to He Sheng.

He then continued:
"You now have a bounty of 500 million dragon coins on your head!"

"Five hundred million dragon coins?!" He Sheng was shocked.
"Who's so rich?!" he asked in surprise.

"I don't know. I can't see the publisher information on it."

"I guess it's someone I've offended." Several names flashed through He Sheng's mind.

The Holy Maiden of Wind and Cloud... The Domineering Princess, the Queen of the Night, the Boss of the Night, and others...

If we're talking about people with that kind of ability, there are probably only a handful of them.

As for the senior who used to accompany Liu Rumeng, he probably doesn't have that kind of ability.

As for Liu Rumeng... she hasn't been bothering him online lately, and he doesn't know where she's disappeared to... Anyway, he hasn't bothered to find out...

"Who have you offended?" Yu Jie asked anxiously.

He Sheng then recounted the story of the domineering princess, the Dark Night Emperor, and others.

"Wait a moment, let me ask."

Yu Jie ended the private chat and immediately messaged the domineering princess:
"Did you post the bounty on the dark web for 'Absolute Devotion'?"

"Heh, someone's put a bounty on him? Great! The sooner he dies, the sooner he'll be reincarnated." The domineering princess's gloating voice rang out.

"You're the one who's going to die much sooner."

Yu Jie cursed and sent a private message to the Holy Maiden of Wind and Cloud. "Hehe, I'm not that bored yet."

"Besides, is he even worth 500 million dragon coins?" came the cold laugh of the Holy Maiden of Wind and Cloud.

Before Yu Jie could say anything, she burst into laughter again:
"However, this is good news, and I am very happy to hear it."

I've decided I absolutely have to have a good drink today, hehehe..."

After they had both asked their questions, Yu Jie didn't ask any more.

Although she rarely interacted with the domineering princess and the legendary saintess, she knew that they shared a common personality trait.

A promise is a promise!

If they really did it, they will definitely admit it.

After all, the two of them lost a bet and both dared to bark like dogs in public.

She sent a private message to He Sheng, feeling overwhelmed: "I originally thought she was a domineering princess or a legendary saintess, but after asking them, they both denied it."

Right now, the most likely candidates are the Dark King and his group.

They might be afraid of Zhou Xiangbo, which is why they posted your ad on the dark web.

This is a big problem.”

"Really? Aren't others afraid of Zhou Xiangbo?" He Sheng asked.

Yu Jie sighed, "Not everyone knows him. Besides, people die for money and birds die for food; the world has no shortage of desperados."

"Why don't you come to my city? We'll protect you; you should be fine."

"Let me think about it."

He Sheng neither immediately agreed nor refused.

Now is not the time for impulsiveness.

He is indeed a bit conflicted right now.

Staying in Beixiong City, Zhou Xiangbo's name can protect him from a lot of trouble.

If he really went to the city where Yu Jie lived, could she really protect him and his family?
He Sheng felt that was not necessarily true.

Zhou Xiangbo's mere name is enough to make major guilds and even the young masters of the Evil Dynasty wary of him; not everyone can do that.

He Sheng felt that this level of apprehension even surpassed that of Yu Jie's father, Xuan Xiaodai.

Or perhaps the two are about the same...

However, if I actually go to Yu Jie's place, others might not necessarily be afraid of Xuan Xiaodai...

Zhou Xiangbo, others are genuinely afraid right now.

Although he has no connection with Zhou Xiangbo, he is at most an elite member.

But given the reputation of a person and the influence of a tree, He Sheng felt it was safer to stay here.

In the end, he always suspected that his adoptive mother might have some kind of relationship with Zhou Xiangbo...

If I really run into trouble, perhaps this will be the time to solve this mystery...

Besides, leaving here and heading to Yu Jie's place is a simple matter for him, but what about his parents and sister?
They are just ordinary people!

If I were to accompany them on their journey, the greatest danger would be the road itself.

Because there's no one to protect us anymore...

Therefore, after careful consideration, he felt that it was safer to stay here than to wander around.

However, he will not sit idly by.

I immediately sent a private message to Bai Yifei 01:

"Brother, I've got some stuff here, want some?"

"Oh, what?"

"Three Hell Corpse King cards, ten Life Essence Crystals, more than a dozen legendary equipment pieces, more than twenty perfect equipment pieces, and some skill books such as 'Magic Shield'."

There was also a piece of ancient black iron. He Sheng decided to demonstrate more of his value to the guild.

Since Zhou Xiangbo is so capable, as long as he demonstrates some value, the other party should provide more assistance.

Previously, he sold Bai Yifei 01 only a few good items occasionally, but now he has brought out a large batch.

They even took out a piece of ancient black iron!
Even the most skilled experts wouldn't want too much of this.

Sure enough, upon hearing about so many wonderful things, Bai Yifei 01's voice rose eighteen octaves.

"Holy crap! I want some! Where did you get all this good stuff?"

"I got it by fighting the treasure boss with Yu Jie and the others, and by killing a lot of evil players."

"Awesome! Well done! Where are you?"

……

Soon, the two met next to the warehouse of an inn in Beach City.

The inn was packed with people, a sea of ​​people...

However, just as He Sheng squeezed through the crowd and appeared in front of Bai Yifei 01, a large group of people suddenly approached He Sheng.

Zi La La...

clack clack...

Boom boom...

Lightning Flash, Fiery Sword Technique, Soul Fire Talisman...

A barrage of attacks instantly overwhelmed He Sheng!

Without activating his magic shield, He Sheng let out a scream and collapsed...

"Hahaha...ga ga ga..."

A familiar loud laugh came from behind.

Upon looking, He Sheng saw that it was indeed the Dark Night Emperor and the Dark Night Leader, among others.

He had actually seen them in the crowd at the inn, but ignored them.

Inside the inn, death meant no loss, so he wasn't afraid at all.

Although he had improved his strength a lot, without activating his magic shield, he was attacked by twenty or thirty level 40+ Night Elf elites, including the Night King and the Night Elf Leader.

It's perfectly normal to be instantly defeated.

"My day!"

Bai Yifei 01 was instantly in pain upon seeing this scene.

"I'll go get a private room, then you can come over."

After He Sheng agreed, he said to the Dark Night Emperor who had squeezed to the front:
"So what if I destroyed two of your divine rings? Is it really that big of a deal?"

One sentence was enough to make the Dark King's face twitch instantly.

He Sheng's stabbing was truly ruthless!
Two top-tier divine rings, and he still hasn't been able to get them back.

This made his journey extremely inconvenient.

Before, I could just teleport anywhere.

Now, if there's no memory card to pull people to the destination, he'll have to run there randomly.

This is so damn inconvenient!
At this thought, his hatred deepened, and he sneered:
"You won't be able to keep this up for long. Just wait to die."

"The bounty you posted on the dark web?" He Sheng asked.

"Of course, you should feel honored."

The leader of the Dark Night gang squatted down, looked at He Sheng, and said gently, "We just hung up your family members' names as well."

The whole family should be together... Hehehe..."

"Is that so? Sooner or later, I'll make sure your house is all tidy too." He Sheng's tone was icy.

"Haha, what are you bragging about, you little punk?"
"My father is standing there for you to kill, you can't even scratch him, ha ha ha..." The Dark Night Emperor laughed!
But his response was a row of tornadoes blowing in!

Hurricane Break!!!
Bai Yifei 01 has made his move!
woohoo hoo...

A fierce gust of wind swept through, and the Dark King and his men were instantly killed!
"Welcome to Beixiong City, hehe!"

Bai Yifei 01 stood with his hands behind his back and one foot on the Dark Night Emperor.

"Wait! We're coming!"

……

Inside a private room...

After his resurrection, He Sheng sat opposite Bai Yifei 01 here, with the table full of drinks.

"Elder Bai, that was impressive! You were so cool just now!" He Sheng praised with a smile.

"Heh, just a bunch of little brats," Bai Yifei 01 said disdainfully.
"Don't worry, now that you've joined the Northern Heroes Guild, no one will dare to touch you. But be careful when you go out."

"Okay! Thank you, Elder."

He Sheng expressed his gratitude and took out a pile of items to trade.

Looking at the ancient black iron in his hand, Bai Yifei 01's eyes shone with excitement. At the same time, he privately told the guild leader Zhou Xiangbo, who was fighting monsters, about what had just happened.

"Oh, the Evil Dynasty has issued a dark web bounty on He Sheng's family?"

Zhou Xiangbo's eyes turned cold.

He immediately ordered someone to investigate.

Soon, the subordinate reported: "Boss, it's true, the bounty on He Sheng on the dark web has reached 500 million dragon coins!"

"Is that so? Issue the order! Starting immediately, all outside players are prohibited from entering Beixiong City."

Anyone who disobeys will be executed without mercy!
