Chapter 8: Killing the Giant Rat! Exploding the Cauldron!
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“They’re finally gone.”
Chen Feng sighed in relief after watching the crowd of people around him disperse.
Now, he did not have to worry about exposing his strength. He could unleash his full strength.
“Holy Light Spell!”
The light grew brighter and brighter as it enveloped the giant rat’s body and emitted crackling sounds.
The giant rat’s skin and flesh began to melt rapidly like ice cubes in a fire.
His health bar also emptied at an astonishing speed.
After awakening the SSS-rank talent [Elemental Affinity], the power of Chen Feng’s skill was already much stronger than normal. In addition, his opponent was a dark-type creature, so the Holy Light Spell had a 300% damage bonus.
Therefore, Chen Feng managed to kill the monster in less than ten seconds.
[You killed Level 4 Elite Giant Rat and obtained Mithril (Mineral)]
[You killed Level 4 Elite Giant Rat and obtained True Silk Cloth]
[You killed Level 4 Elite Giant Rat and obtained True Vision Potion (Small)]
...
[You killed Level 4 Elite Giant Rat and obtained the Broken Crucible of the God of Curses (Repairable)]
A series of comments appeared in front of Chen Feng.
The first few items were just some ingredients that were similar to the ones that Chen Feng had obtained from the treasure chest.
In the end, a green light flashed. After killing the giant rat, a piece of intermediate equipment dropped.
[Broken Crucible of the God of Curses (Repairable)]
Quality: Blue
Introduction: A cursed crucible can be used to make potions, but the success rate is extremely low (success rate < 0.5%).
“The success rate is so low…”
Chen Feng cursed in his heart. The success rate was not even 0.5%. In other words, even if he concocted 200 bottles of potions, he might not even be able to concoct one bottle of it successfully.
However, when Chen Feng picked up the equipment from the ground, another ball of light flashed.
The glow was not an equipment drop this time around.
It had come from Chen Feng himself. The glow gathered and moved all the way into the broken crucible.
Chen Feng looked over again and realized that the name of the crucible had changed.
[The Lady of Luck’s Attempt to Protect the Broken Crucible]
Quality: Green
Introduction: A broken crucible enhanced by the Goddess of Luck. Although the success rate is not high, it is still acceptable.
Effect: 30% success rate, 30% defective product, 30% failure rate, 10% chance of accidents occurring.
“It’s the effect of the [Lucky Halo].”
Chen Feng was pleasantly surprised.
He did not expect that his [Lucky Halo] could repair the cursed equipment.
Although the success rate of concocting potions was not high, it was still acceptable.
Alchemists were a very rare profession after the gamification of the world.
They could forge equipment and make potions.
Stamina Potions, Spirit Potions, Berserk Potions, EXP Potions…
Different potions could be used in different scenarios and situations.
Some high-level potions had very evident effects.
For example, the Advanced Berserk Potion could increase all the user’s attributes by 3 points. Although it could only take effect for a short period of time and came with the side effects of physical weakness, it could save one’s life when facing a life and death crisis.
Coincidentally, the recipe for the EXP Potion that Chen Feng had obtained in his past life was now useful.
EXP Potion: Increases the EXP gained from killing monsters or completing quests by 500%.
It was very useful in dungeons.
Chen Feng knew that if he wanted to level up quickly, he would need to concoct an experience potion.
“Chen Yu…”
Chen Feng frowned as he saw his sister sleeping soundly.
He was looking for a way to cure his sister. In his previous life, he had heard of an extremely precious “revival potion”. After consuming it, one would recover from all damage be immune to all negative effects.
This was Chen Feng’s target.
However, the minimum requirement to concoct such a potion was to complete the Second Class Advancement at Level 30.
Therefore, Chen Feng had to quickly level up.
“Mithril, Mandrake, bone gold… soul fragments…”
Chen Feng realized that he only lacked a material called the “Fire of Heart” as he flipped through his backpack.
After obtaining the “Fire of Heart”, he could attempt to concoct the EXP Potion.
There was only one way to obtain the “Fire of Heart”.
That was to enter the dungeon of [Red House Gynecology Hospital].
“Let’s leave this place first.”
Chen Feng glanced at his phone and realized that the video of him using the Holy Light Spell had already reached the top of the social media trends.
If he did not leave now, he would be surrounded by police and reporters.
After awakening [Elemental Affinity], the cooldown period of Chen Feng’s Flash Spell had been reduced to 10 seconds.
Chen Feng quickly arrived at a spot where he could get a taxi while carrying his sister on his back.
After entering the city, Chen Feng finally heaved a sigh of relief.
He had not rested for more than fifty hours.
He had been in a tense state, and the only reason he could survive until now was because of his willpower.
He found a random hotel in the city and booked a standard room.
Chen Feng’s entire body was limp and weak as he lay on the bed. He stared blankly at the ceiling.
He had no choice but to reveal his power.
If he was not mistaken, the people from the four great guilds should be on their way to find him right now.
Before the gamification of the world took place, there was actually an internal test.
Those with inner qualifications were called the Chosen Ones.
Some of the Chosen Ones were affiliated with the government, while others were free citizens. They had discovered the changes in the world earlier than the ordinary citizens and entered the game before everyone.
These chosen ones were also the ones who had created the four great guilds.
“The four great guilds…” Chen Feng mumbled as he lay in bed.
The first guild to find him should be the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets, right?
The Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets could get their hands on all of his information, including the hotel that he had just checked into ten minutes ago.
Given the might of the intelligence department of the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets, they could even check every surveillance camera in the world.
As long as Chen Feng lived in the city, it was impossible for him to escape the eyes of the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets.
However, Chen Feng could not care less.
He was too tired, so he needed to rest to recover.
After all, the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets was a semi-official organization made up of the intelligence departments of various countries. They would not do anything out of line. At most, they would try to recruit him.
“Tomorrow, let’s go to the Red House Gynaecology Hospital.”
With this thought in mind, Chen Feng fell asleep not long after.
