Chapter 177 - 177 Hive

177 Hive-like, Eldon, The Northern Undead Yard, Firelink Sacrificial Grounds, and Yanan (I)

Lin Ye was very excited after he realized the true value of tsunakayo Katana, but he didn’t show it on his face because he was used to being in the great sage state.

“So, you came all the way here to help me because you wanted to see what kind of reward Hive-like would give you?”

The silent witch snapped her fingers,

“That’s right.”

“You don’t have to worry that I’ll steal your reward.”

“Godkiller and mythical equipment have a permanent binding effect. They belong to whoever drops them and will disappear after death. No one can take them away.”

Upon hearing this, Lin Ye thought for a moment.

After he weighed the pros and cons and determined that the benefits outweighed the risks, he spoke again,

“The secret dungeon that I cleared with Omega’s rating was called ‘Land of Death’. The entry-level was between Level 1 to 10, and the main plot was to fight against undead creatures. The final creature that appeared at the end was an angel’s clone from the Holy Empire. I didn’t dare fight it, so I gave up.”

The silent witch crossed her arms,

“A clone of an Angel?”

“Diamond grade?”

Lin Ye nodded and said, “Yes.”

“1 Star Diamond.”

The silent witch sighed, “Like this?”

“That’s true. Although it’s only level 10, it’s basically a Professional above level 30 with the double-panel bonus and the strength bonus of the main body.”

“You might not even be able to deal 1,000 damage even if you use a set of skills.”

“Of course.”

“You don’t need to regret it.”

“Although I’ve lost a chance to obtain a mythical-level reward, at least I’ve kept my life. I can now raid the simpler honey-like quest and obtain a new mythical-level reward.”

“Maybe….”

“It’s hard to say if you can get a Godslayer-level reward.”

“What’s the way to get a mythical-level reward in Hive-like?” Lin Ye asked curiously,

“Clear the game?”

The silent witch shook her head.

“No, I’ve said it before. It doesn’t matter if you clear the stage or not. You just need to defeat all the inheritance bosses.”

“As long as you can beat them, you’ll get a pass score of Ω and get a mythical-level reward.”

“But if you want a Godkiller-level reward…”

“You have to remain unharmed throughout the entire process and be acknowledged by all the bosses with inheritances. You have to inherit their inheritances’ skill, Misty Rain.”

Eh?

Was he completely unharmed?

This condition was too difficult!

‘Back then, I was able to kill the Hex Teacher without any injuries because of my talent’s invincibility reversal effect and the Hex Teacher’s special attack. That’s how I managed to exhaust him to death.’

‘In a normal battle, without turning the tables, it was impossible to achieve the condition of being completely unharmed.’

‘If you give me a set of legendary equipment and skills…’

‘It might be possible.’

‘But now…’

‘Forget it, I’m giving up. As long as I can kill those inheritance bosses and get a mythical-level reward, I’ll be satisfied.’

He thought.

Lin Ye continued to ask,

“If we can get the best mythical-level reward by defeating the inheritance Boss, what’s the benefit of clearing the Hive dungeon?”

“Give a lot of Bloodsoul?”

“Exchange for more free attribute points and the crown of wisdom?”

The silent witch nodded, “It’s almost the same.”

“These things are very common to Professionals from advanced civilizations like us. There’s no need to buy them Hive-like.”

“That’s why, to save time, we’ve always ignored the normal bosses in the secret lands. We’ll just take a detour to fight the inheritance bosses. When we’re done fighting, or when we can’t defeat them, we’ll just leave.”

“As for you Professionals from the New World, you don’t have enough resources in the secret realm. That’s why you’re fighting those troublesome and troublesome secret realm bosses for the sake of these ordinary rewards.”

Lin Ye went speechless.

‘The old players ‘rejection of the new players?’

But it was still alright.

After a pause, he asked again,

“I heard that aside from the NPC merchants Hive-like, there are also other NPC merchants in the area beyond. Is this information true?”

“What do they sell?”

The silent witch said, “It’s true,”

“I’m not sure what kind of weapon they’re selling because I’ve never seen it, but I’m sure they’ll sell more than what you can buy in rushwood town, and the further you go, the better the things you can buy.” He said.

The silent witch took out a map and passed it to Lin Ye through Hive-like’s own trading system, which was separated by two different spaces.

“You can take a look at this Hive-like map. Not only are the locations of the legacy bosses marked on it, but there are also NPC merchants that are located in fixed locations.”

“There’s no pattern to the random merchant’s appearance. You can only rely on your luck.”

“Oh.”

“There’s one more thing.”

“Those small red dots don’t represent monsters, but the fixed treasure chests in every area. You can follow the guide to open them if you need them.”

Lin Ye looked at the white map.

“You’re giving it to me?”

The silent witch smiled, “Yes.”

“If you’re touched, then remember it and return it to me as a favor in the future.”

Lin Ye went quiet at that.

This woman was very dangerous, but the threat level she displayed was not high. She was much better than those members of the Church of Healing who used humans as lab rats for experiments.

‘I’ll temporarily accept her good intentions.’

If the situation wasn’t right…

When the time came, he would act according to the circumstances.

With that thought, Lin Ye put away the HIve-like map and looked at the silent witch, who was surging with waves, and said, “Do you have anything else to say?”

The silent witch shrugged.

“No,”

“Although my level 15 clone can enter Hive, I’ve already lost the qualifications to challenge Hive-like, so I can’t team up with anyone else.”
