Knowing that Lin Zheng’s roasted snake meat was all sold out, the players gradually dispersed, many of them still cursing Brilliant Godslayer, saying that if it weren’t for him interfering, they might have been able to buy a few to use when encountering a boss! Lin Zheng smiled upon hearing this; that’s how people’s hearts are slowly lost! As for what Glorious Guild wanted to do, to be honest, Lin Zheng wasn’t very concerned. As long as none of them had undergone their second advancement, Lin Zheng wasn’t afraid of them trying to clear the Hero’s Command. A level 70 Silver boss wasn’t that easy to find or kill!
38 sets of roasted snake meat sold for 7400 gold coins, which was definitely a huge profit! With so many gold coins, keeping them for depreciation was clearly unwise, so Lin Zheng decisively put the gold coins on the consignment platform. In the past few days, the gold coins had depreciated rapidly, and now the price was 30 yuan per gold coin. Speaking of which, 30 yuan to buy one roasted snake meat? There really are a lot of rich people in this game! If it were Lin Zheng, he would never spend that money! But if no one spent money, how would he make money?! Happily putting the gold coins up for sale, Lin Zheng went to the warehouse again, took out the materials from the warehouse, and began making level 8 cooking.
For level 8 cooking, the health-restoring item was Honey Chicken Wings, requiring one portion of honey and three portions of chicken. There were still over three stacks of honey left in the warehouse, but Lin Zheng had long run out of chicken! However, it didn’t matter; now many people’s gathering skills had reached level three, and there were plenty of people selling chicken on the plaza. Moreover, due to fierce competition, the price of chicken was very cheap! One portion only cost 1 silver! Lin Zheng bought 20 stacks in one go, only spending 2 gold coins, and then began making Honey Chicken Wings.
Opening the crafting interface and clicking ‘craft,’ Lin Zheng idly browsed the forum. It would take about five minutes to finish crafting nearly four stacks of Honey Chicken Wings, and just standing there doing nothing would be boring! Opening the forum, Lin Zheng saw the latest and hottest post, which was clearly “Wizard Tower Dungeon Guide” made by Yang Qi. This post had only been up for a few minutes, but its views had already exceeded 500,000 and were continuously refreshing!
Yang Qi summarized the essential class configurations for clearing the Wizard Tower: Priest, absolutely necessary, requiring Purification skill level 10 or higher to dispel the final boss Ouna’s Weakness Curse. Otherwise, with a 50% reduction in attack, it would be impossible to be Ouna’s opponent. And because the dungeon boss was extremely powerful, it was recommended to bring two Priests initially. This might mean slightly less experience, but at least it was much safer! Guard! This was even more indispensable; physical defense needed to be at least 2500, and magic defense should be raised as much as possible, as the final boss Ouna was a powerful magic-attacking Wizard! There must be one Hunter, whose main role was in killing the Gargoyle Leader. The Hunter’s skill “Coagulating Blood Poison” could suppress health recovery speed. If a normal team didn’t suppress the Gargoyle Leader’s petrification health recovery, they definitely wouldn’t be able to defeat it! And the Hunter’s several crowd control skills could also help in killing the boss more easily! As for damage dealers, at least one powerful Mage was required; other than that, there were no specific requirements, as long as the output was high enough. After all, dungeons have time limits, and if you bring people who are just leeching, you should be prepared for dungeon failure!
Lin Zheng did not continue reading the content about how to clear the dungeon; he had personally cleared it once! After closing Yang Qi’s post, another post caught Lin Zheng’s attention— “Second Advancement is coming soon, what kind of pets does everyone want?”
Right, the pet function of phantom spirit ii would be unlocked when players underwent their second advancement. Players who had undergone their second advancement could have three pet slots, and then gain one additional slot with each subsequent advancement. In fact, for most players, one pet was enough, making so many pet slots seem a bit redundant, but this also considered certain special groups of people! For example, many girls would prepare three types of pets! A cute pet for showing off, a cute pet for playing with, and finally, one for combat! And the first two might not even be just one! For them, three slots after second advancement still felt too few!
Lin Zheng had already undergone his second advancement and could now have his own pets! There were three ways to obtain pets in phantom spirit ii. One was to buy pet eggs from the system store, but store-bought pets really could only be considered pets; many were indeed cute, but their combat power! To say they were combat power 5 trash was even overestimating them! However, just as top-tier equipment might appear in equipment shops, extremely rare pets would occasionally appear among the myriad pet eggs in pet shops, it just depended on whether the player had the luck to buy one!
The second method of acquisition: players could go to the general store to buy contract scrolls. Using one on any monster whose health was less than 10% had a chance to subdue it as a pet. Obviously, the higher the monster's level, the higher the chance of getting a good pet! However, this method had a major drawback, which was that the success rate was too low! And even if you did catch it, if its attributes were too garbage, it wouldn't be useful!
Finally, killing bosses above second advancement had a chance to drop pet eggs. Pets hatched from these pet eggs were absolutely synonymous with top-tier quality! However, relatively, the drop rate was also extremely low!
The post introduced several monsters that were suitable as early pets, with Three-Eyed Oxen and Poison Bees making the list, which Lin Zheng read with great interest! He immediately had the idea of catching a pet! After finishing the post, the Honey Chicken Wings were already done, but over 400 chicken wings were not enough for his own people, so Lin Zheng felt that he should go to Poison Bee Forest to collect some honey! With his current defense, first advancement monsters couldn't break his defense at all, allowing him to easily collect honey! Before leaving, Lin Zheng bought 100 contract scrolls from the general merchant as backup. Speaking of which, the success rate of this item wasn't high, but the price was ridiculously expensive, one costing 1 gold coin!
After spending some time rushing to Poison Bee Forest, Lin Zheng, having nothing else to do, accepted an invitation from a low-level party and led five low-level characters gallantly into Poison Bee Forest! On the way to find the beehives, Lin Zheng killed every monster he saw. The low-level characters comfortably idled, picking up the small change Lin Zheng was too lazy to bother with, making Lin Zheng himself couldn't help but envy, “It’s really nice to have a high-level character lead you through grinding!”
“Stomp!” Bang! With one strike, the Poison Bees guarding the beehive were instantly annihilated, and then Lin Zheng began collecting honey. This was already the twelfth beehive; after collecting, Lin Zheng’s bag already contained nearly 1100 portions of honey! However, Lin Zheng had almost traversed the entire Poison Bee Forest, so it seemed no more honey would be produced in a short time, which led Lin Zheng to decide to return to the city. Although the low-level characters were still eager, they couldn’t stay in this deep part of Poison Bee Forest without Lin Zheng, so Lin Zheng gave each of them a City Return Orb, and they happily returned to the city!
After the low-level characters left, Lin Zheng was also ready to go. Unexpectedly, just as he took out his City Return Orb, a golden large Poison Bee respawned next to the beehive. Lin Zheng blinked, he wasn't mistaken, it really was a Poison Bee boss. The boss he hadn't seen even after exploring the entire Poison Bee Forest had actually respawned at this moment!
