Private Chat [Xianyuan]: Chun Ri, is there still room in your raid group? If so, invite me in.
Su Wenqi was watching the two brothers bicker when a private chat message suddenly popped up. Seeing that there were still two empty slots in the raid group, he casually invited Xianyuan to join.
On the other side, seeing that his older brother was no longer paying attention to him, Feng Qian continued commanding everyone to fight the BOSS. When the BOSS’s health dropped to 30%, other players began arriving successively.
Seeing this situation, the guild members stopped joking around, replenished their damage-boosting potions or food, and attacked the BOSS with even greater vigor.
As a ranged class, Su Wenqi stood at the maximum distance from the BOSS to cast his skills. A dense crowd of people had gathered around the BOSS, with individuals constantly pushing forward or retreating outward.
In the game, apart from dungeon bosses, there were also world bosses and field bosses.
World bosses respawned every Friday night at nine o’clock at fixed times and locations. As long as a player participated in combat for 180 seconds, they could obtain the boss’s loot after it was defeated, acquiring rare items such as their class-specific gear, refined ores, and other ordinary materials. Meanwhile, the equipment dropped by the boss was open to all players for auction, and the gold earned from the final auction was split equally among the top 500 players in the weekly battle rank.
As for field bosses, players likewise only needed to meet the required combat duration to loot the chests, and their drops were identical to those of world bosses. However, the final ownership of the equipment dropped by a field boss belonged to the guild that dealt the highest damage. Consequently, every guild actively participated in field boss events, though field bosses appeared randomly and were quite rare.
Before other guilds arrived, [Ba Jiu Lin Feng] had already secured a massive advantage. Therefore, after completing their required combat duration, other players quietly withdrew, leaving space for the newly arrived members.
The innermost circle of players surrounding the BOSS consisted entirely of members from the [Ba Jiu Lin Feng] guild. Su Wenqi stopped slacking off and began earnestly casting his skills; his intentions were good, but his damage output was low.
Through everyone’s concerted efforts, the BOSS’s health grew lower and lower, eventually going berserk when it dropped to 5%.
“Roar!!!!” Accompanied by a roar from the BOSS, the ground began to shake violently.
Experienced players had already cast the skill ‘Fulai’, leaping up into midair the moment the earth quaked to evade skills—a category that naturally did not include Su Wenqi.
Thus, at the moment of the earth-shattering tremor, afflicted with a stun buff, his body involuntarily toppled sideways.
His predicament was spotted by Wen Shaochuan. As soon as the BOSS’s skill ended, he immediately rushed over to Su Wenqi’s side and steadied him.
“Sorry, I forgot to tell you that you need to cast a stun-resistance skill when the BOSS goes berserk,” he apologized in a low voice after seeing Su Wenqi stand straight.
Su Wenqi looked up at him in surprise, seemingly failing to understand why he was apologizing to him. He raised a hand to pat Wen Shaochuan’s arm and said, “What are you apologizing for? I was the one who didn’t pay attention to the BOSS’s skills, and besides, I’m fine. Don’t worry about it.”
“Mmm.” Wen Shaochuan responded in a low murmur. While continuously firing skills at the BOSS, he divided his focus to search the forums for instructional guides.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the BOSS.
“Ahhhhhhh, healer heal me!! Mom!! Save me!!” Yitian Chi Shitong’s health instantly plummeted to 5%, terrifying him into screaming for the healer to save him.
The moment his health began dropping precipitously, the healers in the raid had already hurled all sorts of damage-reduction and major healing spells at him, instantly restoring his health bar to full.
Seeing him still howling nonsense over there, Batian Chi Shitong couldn’t help using her folding fan as a projectile and hurling it directly at him.
“Duang~~” It struck the center of Yitian Chi Shitong’s forehead with pinpoint accuracy.
Struck on the head by the fan, Yitian Chi Shitong whipped around, attempting to identify the culprit: “Who! Who is plotting against me!!”
Turning around, he caught sight of his wife’s grim expression, then spotted the all-too-familiar fan on the ground. Overcome with guilt, he turned his head back and focused wholeheartedly on generating aggro.
Seeing that the other person had stopped clowning around, Batian Chi Shitong let out a cold snort, picked up her fan, and resumed healing.
Seeing that the BOSS’s health bar was nearly empty, everyone poured even more effort into casting their skills, and some individuals were already rubbing their palms together in anticipation of looting the drops.
“Clang.” Following the sound of a zither strum, the BOSS collapsed with a resounding crash, and players swarmed toward the spot where it had vanished.
[World Announcement]: The field boss [Wild Wolf King] outside Yuyun City has been slain. The leader’s rewards will remain available for two hours. Martial artists may go to Yuyun City (582, 896) to claim their kill rewards. The guild that has won the highest damage reward is [Ba Jiu Lin Feng]. Guilds that did not receive rewards, keep trying!
Where the Wild Wolf King had stood, a small mound piled high with gold coins and gemstones had appeared. Numerous players gathered around it, reaching out to loot the drops while muttering incantations under their breath.
Nearby [Blue Bunny]: Heavens bless me, let me loot my graduation weapon…
Nearby [Happy Circling]: Ahhhhhhh!! It’s this useless refined iron ore again!!
Nearby [Baby Take Your Medicine]: Hahahahahahaha look what I looted! [Drunken Immortal], my weapon!
Private Chat [Chun Ri Ci]: Xianyuan, my level rose to 48. Does this BOSS give experience too?
Su Wenqi stared at his skyrocketing level in silence. Wen Shaochuan looked at his level and fell silent as well; he knew this guy had good luck, but he never expected him to snatch the final blow among so many people.
Private Chat [Xianyuan]: The final blow on a BOSS grants a massive amount of experience, but everyone who fights field bosses is already at max level, and with so many people, the BOSS’s damage is high too. Nobody goes out of their way to grind levels on such mobs, your luck is genuinely incredible.
Understanding the reason, Su Wenqi felt quite pleased inside. The game’s level cap had now reached 100, and he was only halfway away from maxing out. Once he hit max level, even more activities would unlock.
Private Chat [Xianyuan]: Can I catch a little bit of your good luck?
Private Chat [Chun Ri Ci]: How do I share it?
Private Chat [Xianyuan]: Like this~
Private Chat [Chun Ri Ci]: ?
Curious about how Xianyuan intended to borrow good luck, he looked over just as his vision blurred. Xianyuan had already stepped forward and scooped him straight into a full embrace.
Su Wenqi: ?
Yet, before he could say anything, the other person released him and pulled him toward the location where rewards were being looted.
Private Chat [Xianyuan]: Come here to loot the reward.
Private Chat [Chun Ri Ci]: Okay.
Su Wenqi tapped on the pile of gold coins and felt an extra item appear in his backpack. Opening his inventory, he saw that a new weapon had been added.
Private Chat [Xianyuan]: !!! [Lun Dao Crown]!! I finally looted a piece of equipment! It’s not refined iron ore!
Wen Shaochuan was beside himself with excitement. This was his first time looting equipment out of all the field bosses he had fought. Truly, his decision to latch onto Chun Ri’s coattails was not a mistake; today had finally turned his luck around!
Private Chat [Chun Ri Ci]: Is your luck really that bad? I thought Feng Qian was exaggerating, but I never expected that you.
Some things were better left unsaid.
Private Chat [Xianyuan]: I didn’t want this either! Although my luck in real life isn’t anything to brag about, it has never been as abysmal as it is in this game! You have no idea, whenever I refine equipment, I have to stack the success rate to 100% just to succeed; a 99.99% rate will fail on me! Do you know how agonizing that is for me?
Private Chat [Xianyuan]: I don’t care, I’m going to leech off your luck next time too. Surely you don’t have the heart to refuse a poor loser who can’t loot equipment, never drops gear in dungeons, and constantly fails at refining items.
Private Chat [Chun Ri Ci]: ……
He gazed at that cold, handsome face, whose eyes were fixed intently on him as if refusing to look away unless he agreed. Then, recalling the person constantly crying poverty in the private chat, a rare spark of curiosity arose in his heart.
“Chun Ri, let’s go back to the guild territory, we’re heading back to open chests~” Feng Qian’s voice interrupted their staring contest, shouting for guild members to return to the guild territory.
After asking Xianyuan how to return to the guild territory, everyone quickly gathered in the open space before the guild hall.
“Stare”
Having returned to the guild territory a step ahead of them, Feng Qian had already interrogated others about the ins and outs of today’s field boss appearance and informed the guild members that Su Wenqi would be opening the treasure chests this time around.
Everyone had long since heard rumors of Su Wenqi’s freakish good luck, especially since the world channel had been filled for the past two days with news of him acquiring rare materials and triggering encounters.
However, this was their first time seeing him in the flesh, so the moment Su Wenqi arrived at the guild territory, he found himself the focus of numerous gazes.
Such an eager line of sight caused Su Wenqi’s footsteps to pause. Xianyuan gave a light cough, prompting everyone to withdraw their gazes.
“Chun Ri, hurry up and open the chest.” Feng Qian’s voice rang out nearby, urging him to step forward and open the chest.
Su Wenqi pointed at himself with his finger and asked hesitatingly, “Me?”
“Of course it’s you. With luck as good as yours, you’re bound to pull great stuff. Don’t worry if nothing drops either, since I’m right here.” Xianyuan gave Su Wenqi a gentle nudge from behind, signaling that he had the right person, while self-deprecatingly lightening his pressure.
He shot a glance at his younger brother, who caught the signal immediately.
“Yeah, yeah, with my brother’s luck, he’s basically the reincarnation of a cursed chief. Playing alongside him drags even my drops down, his power is terrifying!” Feng Qian stepped forward to smooth over the atmosphere.
Su Wenqi let out a soft breath, and before anyone could react, he straightforwardly opened the chest.
[Guild]: Congratulations to [Ba Jiu Lin Feng] for acquiring equipment [Zuo Shan Zhai], [Zui Meng Long], [Qing Han Lian Ren], [Zi Jiu Juan], [Zhuǎn Yue Deng]!
Guild [Xiyang Xie]:Five weapons?!
Guild [Yitian Chi Shitong]: As expected of Big Boss Chun Ri, his cooking is delicious and his luck is off the charts!!
Guild [Feng Qian]: [Qing Han Lian Ren] Ahhhhhh!! My precious weapon!!
Guild [Xianyuan]: [Lun Dao Crown] Hehehe.
Guild [Batian Chi Shitong]: It looks like something weird slipped into the mix above. Guild master, where did you get that equipment?
Guild [Xianyuan]: Equipment I just looted.
Guild [Feng Qian]: ? Did the sun rise from the west today? Brother, are you sleep-talking before night even falls?
Guild [Xianyuan]: What do you mean? Am I not allowed to loot something other than refined iron ore?
Guild [Wen Dao]: This is getting a bit creepy, Guild Master.
Guild [Xianyuan]: I have Chun Ri to thank for this, I leeched it out using his luck.
The moment those words dropped, Su Wenqi felt everyone’s gazes shift instantly onto him, with some even looking eager to stride over and cozy up to him.
He couldn’t help shivering, muttered an excuse about needing to eat lunch, and hurriedly logged offline.
“Hey, Chun Ri runs really fast, I wanted to leech some good luck too~” Feng Qian muttered, a step too late.
After logging off, Su Wenqi sneezed several times in a row. It was definitely the people in the guild talking about him!
