Chapter 78: Chapter 78, The Woman Favored by All Gods_1
Tao Ruisi wasn’t someone who teamed up without consideration; she assessed the others. Jiang Chen had come alone to the King’s Crown Copy, and it definitely wasn’t just to look around, but to fight monsters. Even the Easy difficulty of the King’s Crown Copy wasn’t that easy to get through.
Jiang Chen gave her the impression that he must be strong.
[Headless Guard (Elite)]
[Level: 30]
[HP: 80,000/80,000]
[Physical Attack: 500-600]
[Physical Defense Power: 400-500]
[Magical Defense Power: 400-500]
Jiang Chen looked at the Headless Guards in front of him, considering their HP. Such a small amount of HP? Wasn’t it supposed to be 150,000? And their Physical Attack Power and Magic Attack Power have also been halved.
He had forgotten that when soloing, it was Hell-level difficulty, but now it was set to Easy, which meant the instance’s difficulty had decreased by four grades.
Jiang Chen asked, "Are you a student?"
Angelina shook her head. "No, we started gaining experience early on and didn’t go to school. Are you a student?"
Jiang Chen nodded.
How could a woman with such attributes be doing this poorly! She’s only level 30.
Beatte and Marvin buffed themselves and charged in, not forgetting to look back and say, "Angelina, remember to keep our health topped up."
"Got it."
The Headless Knight swung its massive sword ferociously at Marvin, who raised his shield to block the attack, while Beatte wielded her sword beside him, slashing at the Headless Knight.
Tao Ruisi stood to the side, casting magic.
The Headless Knight’s HP continuously decreased. Just as Jiang Chen was about to draw his sword, the Headless Knight collapsed to the ground with a thunderous fall. Jiang Chen glanced at Beatte. She must have a hidden class that’s also very strong.
Beatte laughed. "That Headless Knight was no match for me."
"Eh, a sword dropped. Its attributes aren’t that great, but it can still be sold for money. I’ll keep this sword for now."
"I thought the King’s Crown Copy would be difficult, but it turned out to be pretty simple."
Tao Ruisi didn’t say anything.
Jiang Chen wouldn’t say anything either. Just white gear. I couldn’t care less; such trash is something I can’t be bothered to pick up.
But Jiang Chen was shocked that they had managed to get gear from just the first monster.
This Divine Blessing is incredible! No way, I have to get this woman on my team. I’m not interested in the attributes that a Ritualist can enhance, but this Divine Blessing is incredibly powerful. Joining a team that has it means gaining Luck Value. Only a fool wouldn’t want that!
Jiang Chen said, "Your attributes are really good. Why are you only level 30?"
Angelina looked down. "I had to rely on others to help me level up. It was quite difficult for me to reach level 30, and all my gear was obtained through others’ efforts."
Jiang Chen fell silent.
The Ritualist class, like Priest, is considered a Support Class, but Ritualists also have some offensive Skills.
Tao Ruisi said, "Let’s move on."
The five of them continued forward.
This woman is a bit naive. With such a Skill, there was no need for her to be following them around. She could’ve directly joined a guild or a Legion and been in high demand. Jiang Chen could see that now.
Jiang Chen inquired indirectly, "Is your equipment a set?"
"No."
Beatte turned back, her face darkened. "Brother, Angelina is our teammate. If you don’t want to team up, you can leave; the four of us are enough to get through the copy."
Beatte could feel Jiang Chen had ulterior motives from their conversation. Divine Blessing, an extremely powerful team blessing. It might not increase attributes, but it can certainly boost drop rates.
Jiang Chen said with a smile, "Brother, you’ve misunderstood. I was just curious about Angelina; after all, I’ve never seen a girl so beautiful."
Angelina’s face turned red, and she continued walking with her head down.
Tao Ruisi said, "Let’s go. We’re all on the same team; there’s no need for quarreling."
Beatrice and Marvin led the way.
Marvin whispered, "This kid is no good. He’s probably after Angelina."
Beatrice nodded. "I know."
"Should we take him out?"
"Not yet. We’ll talk about it later. Besides, Angelina is our teammate. If we kill him and she takes it the wrong way, that wouldn’t be good."
"What’s there to be afraid of? That girl is an idiot, easy to fool."
Jiang Chen heard this and suddenly laughed. So they wanted to kill me...
Inside, Jiang Chen was pondering how to get Angelina on his side. He hadn’t found a way yet, since she had teammates, and their relationship looked rather special. You can’t just kill people and take their stuff. That would be the stupidest idea. But now it’s different. With Beatrice and Marvin wanting to kill me, it becomes incredibly simple. Kill her teammates, and with Angelina lacking companions, wouldn’t she be easy to sway?
Jiang Chen whispered, "Angelina, your teammates have some nice gear."
"Yeah, we got it all from grinding mobs," she replied.
"Then why don’t you have a full set?"
"All the money for the gear is with Beatrice; we’re saving up to buy a set of Ritualist gear."
"How much is it?"
"That... I’ve never calculated it!"
Oh boy... Are you seriously that naive? You haven’t even done the math, you don’t know how much it is, and you’d help count the cash while being sold off! Why on earth would Divine Blessing bestow such a Skill on a naive woman? Well, if she weren’t naive, how would she end up with a bunch of losers!
Jiang Chen said, "Actually, you’re quite remarkable, especially your Skills. If you just join any guild or Legion, they would definitely take care of you."
"Beatrice has said that joining a Legion can lead to a lot of exclusion."
"That won’t happen..."
Beatrice turned around and roared, "Enough! If you keep spewing nonsense, I’ll chop you up, believe it or not! Get lost now, or don’t blame me for being rude!"
Tao Ruisi could see that Beatrice was truly enraged.
She quickly came out to mediate. "Come on, we are all on the same team."
Beatrice angrily said, "Tao Ruisi, don’t you see? This guy is up to no good. Angelina is our teammate, and he clearly wants to trick her away."
"Exactly, this guy definitely has an agenda," Marvin added.
Jiang Chen simply smiled. "I’m just reminding Angelina that joining a Legion or guild could mean a better future. Why are you getting so mad about it?"
"Reminding? Does Angelina need your reminders?" Beatrice retorted.
"I’m just giving her a suggestion."
"Get lost! Angelina doesn’t need suggestions!"
Jiang City replied with a casual smile, "Brother, that’s not right. After all, we’re in the same team. There’s nothing wrong with caring about Angelina’s future. Could it be that you have ulterior motives?"
Confused, Angelina said, "Why are you guys fighting?"
"Angelina, come here. This guy’s up to no good," Beatrice urged.
"No, I think he’s pretty nice," she objected.
"Don’t be fooled by his looks; the more handsome the man, the worse his intentions."
Well... what you said at the beginning was true, but I definitely disagree with the rest.
Tao Ruisi awkwardly tried to defuse the situation. "Enough, we are all on the same team; there’s no need to argue. Staying focused on clearing the instance is what matters."
Beatrice scoffed. "It doesn’t matter. We can still clear it even if we kill him."
Jiang Chen glanced over. Are they going to make a move now? No subtlety at all... But this confrontation might just work in my favor.
Looking at Angelina, Jiang Chen said, "Step aside for a moment; you might get hurt by accident. Here’s a Resurrection Scroll. If you die, you can come back to life."
Angelina stood shocked, looking at the Resurrection Scroll Jiang Chen casually handed over.
This... This is a Resurrection Scroll worth hundreds of millions! How could he possibly have one?
