A God-tier Counter-damage Priest, I am the Master!

37: Three-headed, second-tier elite BOSS— ”(Ding-dong!)”

”(Player [Undefeated Monarch] has manually published an announcement.)”

”(Hello, brothers and sisters of the Great Xia Region! We, [Eternal Family], are sincerely recruiting talents and inviting friends from all over the world with ability and dreams to join us.)”

”(I, Undefeated Monarch, guarantee! However much ability you have, [Eternal Family] can provide you with a platform of the same size.)”

”(In addition, I severely despise that clown Twinkling Starry Sky! Grandson, you lost today. From now on in [Nine Heavens], [Unfalling Stars] is destined to be forever trampled under the feet of our [Eternal Family], hahaha...)”

Undefeated Monarch was no fool; after receiving the opportunity to manually publish an announcement from the system, he immediately used it to maximize his interests.

He first sent out a recruitment announcement to the entire Great Xia Region server, and then belittled his opponent in front of all online players in the region.

At the very least, he had severely suppressed Twinkling Starry Sky in terms of momentum.

At this moment, seeing the announcement, Twinkling Starry Sky was so angry his mouth was almost crooked.

An opportunity for a manual announcement could not be bought even with money.

Right now, even if he wanted to fight back for his pride, he had no chance and could only let Undefeated Monarch suppress him in front of all the online players in the Great Xia Region.

”Dammit!”

”Bastard, bastard, bastard!”

Twinkling Starry Sky’s heart was filled with anger and resentment.

He was unwilling to be suppressed by Undefeated Monarch like this, and he was unwilling to lose the opportunity for a manual announcement just like that.

He wanted to fight back, but he had no way to start.

”Dog system, why the hell didn’t you announce this kind of special reward earlier? I [censored] system, you [censored]...”

With nowhere to vent his anger, Twinkling Starry Sky could only curse eighteen generations of the system’s ancestors.

Meanwhile, over with our protagonist Bai Tian, his face was flushed with excitement at this moment.

— ”(Ding-dong!)”

”(Your pet auction was successful! After deducting a 10% handling fee, you have received 5,670 gold coins.)”

I’m rich, I’m rich!

Now, Bai Tian completely didn’t have to worry about the follow-up medical expenses for his Close Friend.

Moreover, he could also fulfill a small wish of his in reality.

”The system gave you a hand by giving Undefeated Monarch a title and the opportunity for a manual announcement.”

”The price of gold coins hasn’t dropped yet, but I suggest you sell them all quickly.”

Flowers in Full Bloom truly considered Bai Tian a friend and was thinking of his best interests, reminding him immediately.

Bai Tian wasn’t stupid either; he knew the price of gold coins was only temporarily inflated, and if he missed this opportunity, he would regret it to death.

He immediately put all 5,670 gold coins on the trading platform without leaving a single one.

In the game, there were quite a few people who weren’t short of money and had ambition.

When they saw that Undefeated Monarch had received a system reward after spending a huge sum to win the pet, other hidden big shots could no longer hold back.

Everyone took action, buying up gold coins on a large scale to prepare for the other auction items coming up.

Thus, the 5,670 gold coins Bai Tian listed were completely snatched up by the tycoons in less than a minute.

After deducting handling fees, Bai Tian’s card immediately received: 5,103,000 yuan.

His personal account reached a staggering 5,342,620 yuan.

In such a short time playing [Nine Heavens], he, an ordinary sophomore student, had actually earned over 5 million in wealth instantly.

This dream-like feeling made Bai Tian suspect he was dreaming.

Just then, a small hand as smooth as jade pinched Bai Tian’s wrist.

”Does it hurt?”

”Hee-hee, congratulations! You aren’t dreaming; you really are a millionaire now.”

Frost Like Snow’s smile was like a flower, as dazzling as the stars, exuding a playful and cute aura.

After the main event of the pet egg auction ended, the system immediately introduced today’s second auction item.

— [Intermediate Pet Sealing Card]!

Durability: 20/20!

(Can be used on any Level 1 wild monster, with a 50% chance to capture and transform it into a pet egg.)

It must be said, the system really knows the way of business!

After the first auction item, the pet, sold for an astronomical price, the second item was a card used for catching pets.

Moreover, it was an intermediate sealing card, which didn’t restrict the type of Level 1 pet and had a capture success rate of 50%.

This move immediately triggered another wave of excitement.

In the end, this Intermediate Pet Sealing Card was snatched up by a big shot for 500 gold.

Soon, the system listed other items for auction, all of which were rare items, equipment, and skills of no less than blue quality.

The three of them had just converted all their gold coins into cash, so even if some good things they wanted appeared, they had no gold coins to buy them.

Thus, the three of them could only exit the auction window to avoid being tempted by things they couldn’t afford.

”Ah, it’s past 10 o’clock. We need to go offline to have a late-night snack.”

”How about everyone goes offline to rest for half an hour, and then we all come back online in 30 minutes to challenge the BOSS?”

Flowers in Full Bloom asked Bai Tian.

Bai Tian’s mood was soaring right now: ”Okay.”

”Huahua, you’re already a millionairess.”

”I don’t care. You’ve freeloaded so many meals off me; you must make it up to me tonight. You’re treating.”

Frost Like Snow pounced toward Flowers in Full Bloom with her claws out before going offline.

Flowers in Full Bloom lightly patted her full, snowy breast under her leather armor and said, ”I’ll pay for your snack tonight. Pick whatever you want.”

”Then I want to eat the chef’s from Zuixian Restaurant...”

Before going offline, Bai Tian was stunned when he heard the name Zuixian Restaurant.

Zuixian Restaurant?

Could it be the famous top-rated influencer restaurant in Jiangzhou, a legend in the catering industry?

The two of them are also in Jiangzhou in reality? It couldn’t be such a coincidence, could it?

Bai Tian clicked his tongue inwardly.

After going offline, Bai Tian reheated the braised pork he had packed earlier and then went downstairs to buy a case of Shanshui Craft Beer.

Having earned over five million today, he had to have a little drink to celebrate.

It was just a pity his Close Friend was still in the hospital; otherwise, it would be even more exciting for the two of them to drink together.

Having eaten and drunk his fill and taken care of his personal hygiene, Bai Tian went out to the balcony, feeling the cool night breeze and looking at the lights of thousands of homes outside.

”It won’t be long before I can have a real home here too.”

Now that he had money, Bai Tian suddenly had the idea of buying a house of his own in Jiangzhou.

When the 30 minutes were up, Bai Tian prepared to enter his gaming pod and go online.

But after logging in, he found that the two women, Flowers in Full Bloom and Frost Like Snow, hadn’t arrived yet.

It must be said here that our male comrades have a better sense of time.

After being 15 minutes late, two clear, bell-like laughs appeared as they logged in at the same time.

”It was so delicious! The Golden Phoenix Claws from Zuixian Restaurant—I didn’t even want to spit out the bones.”

Frost Like Snow was clearly a foodie, still reminiscing after entering the game.

Flowers in Full Bloom looked at Bai Tian apologetically: ”Sorry, we’re late.”

Bai Tian shook his head: ”It’s fine. Let’s start!”

Flowers in Full Bloom nodded, preparing to activate the next stage of the quest.

But Frost Like Snow was extremely familiar; she approached Bai Tian: ”idol, if you ever have the chance to come to Jiangzhou, I must treat you to Zuixian Restaurant’s Golden Phoenix Claws. The taste is simply amazing.”

Bai Tian also understood Frost Like Snow’s personality now—outspoken, without guile, simple and cute.

Therefore, he was no longer repelled by the approach of such a fair-skinned, beautiful girl with big eyes.

”Okay.”

Bai Tian smiled at her; he hadn’t expected them to actually be in Jiangzhou.

If Flowers in Full Bloom and Frost Like Snow hadn’t excessively modified their appearance in the game, they looked to be about the same age as him.

Could they also be college students?!

At this time, the captain, Flowers in Full Bloom, had already activated the second stage of the quest.

The system notification sounded.

— ”(Ding-dong!)”

”(You have completed the first stage of the D-rank hidden quest. Each of you is rewarded with Experience: +50,000, Reputation: +10, Gold Coins: +5!)”

”(The hidden quest difficulty has increased, officially promoted to C-rank. Please prepare for battle and face the even more severe challenges ahead.)”

As soon as the system notification ended, with a ”Boom,” the ground of the Longevity Palace began to vibrate violently. Dust and stones rolled, and the ground seemed about to split open.

”The second stage of the quest involves three Second Transfer Elite Bosses. They all need to be defeated within one hour to obtain the rewards.”

”I’ve reached this step twice before, but because this stinky girl wasn’t up to it, we failed and returned.”

”With you here today, we should have a chance to complete it.”

At her best friend’s disdain, Frost Like Snow’s red lips pouted.

”Stop pouting and hurry to the back.”

Flowers in Full Bloom reminded her friend.

Although Frost Like Snow was an experience baby, she was an obedient one. She hurriedly retreated to the back while applying buff skills to Bai Tian and Flowers in Full Bloom.

But in reality, among the buffs she provided, only the 5% health increase was effective.

Because once Bai Tian used [Cold Abyss Blessing], the other buff effects she gave would be replaced and could not be stacked.

— Boom!

The ground in front exploded, dust and smoke rose, and the first terrifying BOSS appeared.

It was a Mutated Ghoul, its body rotting and over 6 meters tall. Its chest cavity was full of colorful, disgusting insects, and with every step it took, the ground was covered in revolting slime.

After the first BOSS appeared, the second and third BOSSes followed in quick succession.

The second BOSS was a Mutated Wanderer, wearing a ghostly white robe, with white hair three meters long trailing on the ground, holding a 5-meter-long crimson bone staff.

The third BOSS was a Mutated Ogre, over 5 meters tall with blue skin, three heads, and six arms. It had a wide mouth with fangs and carried a massive bone club weighing several tons.

Bai Tian actually couldn’t check the attributes of these three BOSSes.

This proved that the levels of these three BOSSes were at least 25, exceeding his by 10 levels.

While Bai Tian couldn’t check them, the Level 18 Flowers in Full Bloom could. She immediately dropped screenshots of the three BOSSes’ attributes into the party chat.

— [Mutated Ghoul]!

Level: 26 (Second Transfer)

HP: 1.04 Million

(Elite Boss)

Level: 27 (Second Transfer)

HP: 1.3 Million

Skills: Berserk, Death Charge, Death Thrash.

My goodness!

After seeing the attributes of the three Second Transfer Elite Bosses in the party chat, even Bai Tian found it troublesome.

If only one BOSS appeared at a time, it wouldn’t be a problem.

But with all three coming at once, it was a bit difficult to handle.

Furthermore, the levels of the three BOSSes were too high; they were all Second Transfer BOSSes.

The three of them were only at the First Advancement stage; even for Flowers in Full Bloom, who had the highest level, her attributes would be suppressed when attacking the BOSSes.

This was the natural suppression of high levels over low levels.

However, the more difficult and challenging it was, the more amazing the rewards would be upon success.

Since that was the case, Bai Tian didn’t plan to hide his abilities anymore.

After checking his current mana pool of 12,080, Bai Tian’s eyes turned solemn, and the green wave pure lotus splendor in his hand began to flicker with a Brilliant and misty glow...
