Legend: One corpse-picking message per day

Chapter 196 The Gap Between He Sheng and a Top-Tier Crown Prince! Taking on Another Disciple! The Dark Treasure of the Yellow Springs Cult Master!

The ninth floor of the Tower of Babel...

After clearing out the monsters in the unknown dark palace on the eighth floor, He Sheng arrived at the ninth floor!

The monsters on this floor are more diverse.

A collection of all hellish monsters from Crescent Island.

Hellish Freak Orc Warrior, Hellish Minotaur, Hellish Minotaur General, Hellish Skeleton Archer, Hellish Skeleton Hammer Soldier, Hellish Evil Zombie, Hellish Evil Corpse King...

For He Sheng, these were all just small karaomis... all gone in seconds!
Soon, he encountered the elite Hell Bull Demon General!
Even the Bull Demon General has elites?!
After a moment of stunned silence, He Sheng smashed it to pieces in a few moves.

The loot is still the same: three beams of light equipment.

Perfect silver snake, excellent Taoist helmet, superb demon-slaying ring...

Keep killing...

After a chaotic battle, He Sheng encountered the first giant monster from Cangyue Island.

He was clad in gleaming golden armor, wore a polished silver helmet, and suede boots with rolled-up toes and pink soles.

He wielded a powerful crescent-shaped blade, exuding an imposing aura. The ribbons draped over his body fluttered like a magical sash, giving him an ethereal appearance.

His eyes were like bright mirrors, radiating a captivating light; his gaping maw was filled with rows of copper plates; and the bull horns on his head further emphasized his majesty.

It is the overlord of the Bull Demon Temple.

Hellish Bull Demon King!
Its health is less than that of the Rainbow Demon Lord.

The base health is only 3600, but in Hell difficulty it reaches 14400.

If this were a computer game from his previous life, He Sheng felt that the Rainbow Demon Cult Master was much more powerful than the Bull Demon King.

The main difference is that the Rainbow Demon Lord's movement speed and attack speed are faster than the Bull Demon King's.

Its movement speed surpasses that of the monstrous Zuma Guardian; its two long legs are so fast that they were He Sheng's nightmare back then.

However, in this world, after He Sheng made a move, he discovered that its strength, both in attack and defense, was somewhat stronger than that of the Rainbow Demon Sect Master.

However, due to its low health, He Sheng could easily crush and defeat it, just like he could defeat the Rainbow Demon Lord.

Anyway, nowadays, all the old monsters on Crescent Island, except for the Hellfire Dark Palace Chicken, are easy to kill.

Even for the Hellfire Palace Chicken, it only takes half a minute longer.

Of course, if it's a treasure monster, then it's a different story.

If their strength increases fivefold, they still have a fighting chance.

As for now, He Sheng quickly defeated the Hell Bull Demon King.

With a ring, this time there were only two beams of light!

But what was revealed surprised and delighted He Sheng.

Besides a regular power ring, it actually dropped a Dragon Fang weapon.

This thing is valuable!
Even a regular one is worth 300 million gold coins!

Despite having accumulated nearly 200 billion gold coins, He Sheng doesn't dare to claim he's rich.

There will be many more places to spend money in the future.

After quickly packing up, He Sheng continued killing...

He picked up a lot of junk along the way, but he didn't pick up any equipment or cards that weren't of Woma rank or higher.

Believe it or not, he's already gotten five cards since entering this Tower of Babel.

One is an elite monster, one is an old monster, and the rest are small monsters.

The card drop rate is decent, probably because they kill large groups of enemies at once?
Not long after, he encountered another overlord of Crescent Moon Island!
Lord of the Underworld!

Its appearance is the same as the Lord of the Underworld, and its strength is about the same.

Compared to the Bull Demon King, it has the advantage of having more health points.

Base health is 5,000, Hell health is 20,000!
He Sheng spent a little more time destroying it!

Unfortunately, nothing good dropped this time. It's really poor; it didn't even drop a Woma brand item.

Thankfully, I got a Lifespan Crystal and a Fashion Fragment...

Next, He Sheng quickly finished killing everyone on this floor.

then……

He didn't enter the tenth floor; instead, he was teleported out.

They appeared on the outskirts of Mengzhong.

After a moment of stunned silence, He Sheng felt a bit of a headache.

He did not receive the top 100 title award at this level.

your sister!
With such powerful equipment and various buffs, why can't he break into the top 100 mages?
How is this possible? !

After all, for a normal player at his stage, the focus is on improving their equipment encyclopedia, monster card encyclopedia, and level 2 costumes!
His equipment catalog... Hmm, thinking about it, it seems there are actually a few sets of equipment that haven't been upgraded at this stage.

Gale Set, Blood Demon Set, Rainbow Demon Set, Memory Set.

Leaving aside the memory set, he felt that probably not many people would bother to activate it.

Unless he's a true prince!

As for the Gale Set, Blood Demon Set, and Rainbow Demon Set, you can buy them from Yu Jie and her group; their merchants should have them.

As for monster cards, he has now basically unlocked all the common cards up to Crescent Island, with only five cards remaining ununlocked.

He also got the level 2 fashion set.

So the difference between him and others now might be:
Everyone else's elites and veterans have all their skills unlocked?!

Even Yu Jie, the little princess of a level 12 guild, has a hard time lighting it up.

However, it's hard to say, as the Holy Dragon Guild is a level thirteen guild!

It's a combination of the former government and top-tier players.

It should be very simple for their descendants to light these things, right?

Who would dare to disrespect me...?

So, from Woma Temple, Centipede Cave, Pig Cave, Zuma Temple, Unknown Dark Palace, Sealed Demon Valley, Bull Demon Temple, Bone Demon Cave to Corpse Demon Cave.

If all the elite monsters and bosses in these nine maps were activated, it would be truly terrifying!
Another thing that others might find even more extreme is that all his equipment and costumes are enchanted with high attributes.

Even if it's just an enchantment that adds around +10 to the stats, that's amazing!
There are a total of twenty pieces of equipment and costumes!
This doesn't even include whether other people have that ghost artifact...

If all twenty pieces of equipment are enchanted with 10 points of attribute, that's a total of 200 points.

This was only because He Sheng thought 10 points of enchantment was about right.

What if someone else has a better enchantment?
After all, there's no rule against enchanting high-level monsters, so it's not surprising that the later cards add 20 points each...

So, when you calculate it that way, it's really incomparable...

Of course, even Yu Jie could only look up to such a luxurious act.

But it's actually quite normal to actually do it.

After all, you can enter the Tower of Babel starting at level 35.

The Holy Dragon Guild, which controls the Dragon Kingdom, possesses unimaginable resources.

It's not difficult to make several sets of tower-climbing equipment for the offspring of the three major professions who are level 35 or above, specifically for grabbing titles.

He Sheng even felt that level twelve guilds should also have this kind of thing.

Like a family heirloom.

Perhaps Yu Jie and Bu Mie Qian Qian are not qualified?

Or perhaps they felt they couldn't compete enough for the descendants of the Holy Dragon Guild, so they simply gave up?

That's all possible...

In short, after careful consideration, He Sheng realized that the gap between himself and others was indeed very large...

Assuming someone else actually does that...

In reality, he felt that someone else must have done it, otherwise he himself would have many unique bonuses.

The Golden Corpse Emperor gave him two titles!

There are also VIP bonuses, prayer equipment bonuses, and more...

Lost in thought, he changed his equipment and went back to the city.

After storing everything away, he still messaged Yu Jie privately.

"Big sister, I just climbed to the ninth floor of the tower, but I still haven't won the title of one of the top 100 mages in the Dragon Kingdom."

"Nine floors? You're not even level 40, are you?" Yu Jie asked with a hint of doubt.

"Ah."

Yu Jie said dejectedly, "Don't think too much about it. It's too difficult to break into the top 100. I've already given up on getting into the top 100."

"Aren't you the daughter of a level 12 guild?"

"It's useless. The top 100 are basically controlled by the Holy Dragon Guild; they have specialized tower-climbing equipment." Sure enough... He Sheng nodded secretly upon hearing this.

This was as he had expected, but he still had a question: "You guys should be able to make specialized tower-climbing equipment, right? It wouldn't be difficult for you."

"Hehe, who would dare to compete with them?" Yu Jie said with a self-deprecating laugh.

"Uh, I guess so, haha..."

He Sheng understood now; this was indeed the biggest problem.

"However, the evil players will try to take it from them, but they won't win, haha..."

"Then why did you ask me to compete for the top 100 title before?" He Sheng said speechlessly.

"I only told you you could go and rob, but actually I just wanted you to get more equipment, hehe..."

"Fine, just teleport me back to Beach City."

Although He Sheng had a teleportation ring, he still used Yu Jie and the others to teleport between Tu City and Bich City.

Back in Bichon City, He Sheng continued his hunt for the Corpse King and other monsters...

Before he knew it, it was past five in the afternoon, and finally, Mr. He heard some good news.

Qiao'er has finally reached level 35.

You can bring your dog now.

Actually, Qiao'er graduated from her apprenticeship after reaching level 30. He Sheng had gained 100 reputation points at that time, and he could continue to take on apprentices.

However, he had been running through the map the whole time and didn't have time.

At this moment, Qiao'er's joyful voice came again:

"Boss, I summoned the dog! Haha!"

"Congratulations! By the way, do you have any friends with good character? I can take them as my apprentices."

Qiao'er said, "Yes, didn't I mention before that a girl in the courtyard turned twenty these past few days?"
She's become a player too, and I specifically told her not to come in and level up yet, just waiting for you to take on an apprentice.

"Great! Quickly, bring her up!"

……

five minutes later……

Qiao'er's voice came over: "Boss, she's coming up. Her name is Xiaomei. She's in Bianjie Village. She's waiting for you next to the butcher shop."

A few minutes later, He Sheng met Xiao Mei next to the butcher shop in Bianjie Village.

Xiaomei is very pretty and has a great physique. Although she is not quite as beautiful as Qiao'er, she is still considered a beauty.

It's very pleasing to the eye.

"You're the boss that Sister Qiao'er was talking about? You're so handsome!" Xiao Mei said timidly.

She blushed after being glanced at by He Sheng.

She's clearly a shy girl.

"Hehe, would you like to be my apprentice?" He Sheng asked with a smile.

"Of course, I believe in Sister Qiao'er."

Xiaomei nodded firmly.

Qiao'er has only been an apprentice for two days, and she has already brought in five or six hundred thousand yuan in income for the courtyard.

Who wouldn't like a master like that?
"Very good, you made the right choice, haha..."

He Sheng smiled and nodded, and began to accept Xiao Mei as his apprentice.

After accepting Xiaomei as his apprentice, as expected, she was never able to betray him after becoming his disciple.

He Sheng neither helped Xiao Mei level up himself nor asked Qiao'er to help her.

He still has to take Qiao'er to kill other treasure monsters, how can he have time to take Xiao Mei?

Just then, Fei Yang Rensheng, who was leveling up Qiao'er, also came to settle his bill. So, he asked Fei Yang Rensheng if he was still leveling up people.
Fei Yang replied, "No, I can't stay up all night here continuously. This world is too mentally taxing."

However, I can find a few other people to mentor your new apprentice, and I guarantee they'll be just as fast as we are.

Hmm... I'll level you up to 35 by around 10 AM tomorrow at the latest.

"OK, all right!"

After discussing it, He Sheng asked Fei Yang to arrange for someone to take Xiao Mei to level up.

Of course, as her master, He Sheng first gave Xiao Mei ten million gold coins to buy the potion, which made her extremely happy...

This chef is really generous...

Having settled the matter with his apprentice, He Sheng returned to the Fallen Graveyard.

He used the memory sleeve to teleport Qiao'er over.

Standing outside the portal, Qiao'er looked at this new place with a face full of shock.

A degenerate graveyard!

What is this place?
How come I've never heard of this before?
God!

The boss has sent her to a new place again?!

How many Yang Mis do you have, boss?!

Shocked, Qiao'er developed an even stronger, inexplicable affection for He Sheng.

The fact that her boss trusted her so much made her extremely happy...

After a chaotic rampage with Qiao'er, He Sheng quickly arrived at the Fallen Graveyard.

Upon seeing the Dark Lord of the Underworld, Qiao'er trembled with excitement...

Lord of the Dark Underworld!

This old monster was certainly no stranger to her, as she frequently surfed the internet; it was a monster that could drop level 40 heavy armor.

I never expected the boss would actually bring her here!

It’s so cool!
How much is this God of Magic Cloak worth if it drops?

Lost in thought, she continued to accompany the boss in his killing spree...

After defeating the monsters inside, the two found an open space.

Afterwards, He Sheng began to dig up the treasure maps one by one.

The first thing to do is to dig up the treasures on the map in normal mode.

However, when digging for treasure maps, there will be a bunch of monsters around you. You have to clear them out before you can dig.

"Ding-dong! You have obtained a Life Necklace!"
Get an excellent demon-slaying weapon!
Obtain a Ring of Power.

Obtain a fine Crescent Moon Sword.

Obtained 3 bundles of healing medicine.
You've won 100 million gold coins!

Wow, that's a steal!
A regular treasure map costs 10 million gold coins, but this one yielded items worth over 20 million gold coins.

continue!

As a result, the next best card was only the Excellent War God Armor.

The next one also only has one fine frost.

Sure enough, a saying is circulating online:

Treasure hunting will bankrupt three generations!

After more than ten treasure maps, He Sheng finally heard the mechanical prompt.

He was warned that the old monster guarding the treasure had been alerted!
A monster even larger and more terrifying than the Lord of the Dark Underworld has appeared.

The Dark Lord of the Underworld!

"Wow! Boss, another treasure monster!"

Qiao'er became aroused again and screamed repeatedly!

After accompanying the boss to dig up so many treasure monsters in the Corpse King's Palace, she understood that treasure monsters meant endless wealth!

Excited, she rushed forward and poisoned the Dark Lord of the Underworld!
As a result, she was killed by a remote lightning strike from the Dark Underworld Cult Master after just applying a green poison.

Good heavens, this guy can use lightning magic?!
He Sheng was astonished.

With a wave of his hand, he delivered a blow to the Dark Lord of the Underworld!
Lightning Cinema!

Health reduced by 550!

Total health: 25000!

It's alright, it's only in normal mode, I can still manage to deal damage!
There's green poison; as long as it causes damage, that's fine.

Meanwhile, the Dark Underworld Cult Master, whose treasure was under attack, unleashed a lightning spell near He Sheng.
Health reduced by 12!

We can handle it!
He Sheng started setting up a wall of fire and launched a frenzied attack...

Happy Qixi Festival to all the big shots!
It's also my family's Surname Festival. Can you guess my surname? If you guess correctly, I'll post a huge update after I turn 30!
Many guests will be coming today, and I'll be cooking, so I'm not sure if I'll have time to update. Therefore, I'll just post this 4,000-word chapter for now.
