Chapter 79: Chapter 79, Little Lady, Are You Questioning My Strength?_1
Angelina was immediately at a loss.
Beatrice and Marvin were astonished. A Resurrection Scroll? It was actually a Resurrection Scroll! Who on earth was this person? How could they possess such a treasure?
Tao Ruisi was profoundly shocked. Is this a scion of some wealthy family? To think he carried a Resurrection Scroll on him! One had to understand, this item was worth several hundred million. It wasn’t something money alone could buy; Resurrection Scrolls could only be exchanged for military achievements.
Once you possessed a Resurrection Scroll, you could be revived even after death.
Angelina stammered, "You... you’re giving it to me just like that?"
"What’s the problem? You’re pretty, and it’s fate that we’ve met. Why not give it to you? Just take it."
Beatrice’s face darkened. "Damn it, how do you have a Resurrection Scroll?"
"He definitely has more than one Resurrection Scroll on him! Kill him and seize his treasures!"
"Attack!"
Beatrice charged towards Jiang Chen. In his eyes, Jiang Chen was merely level 25 and no match for him whatsoever. He himself was level 30, equipped with level 30 gear, and moreover, Jiang Chen was a ranged attacker.
What greeted Beatrice was a flash of Jiang Chen’s Sword Qi.
SHRAK!
With a swing of his sword, a beam of Sword Qi shot out from thin air. Beatrice was instantly killed, the Armor he wore cleaved in two.
Upon his death, his Badge shattered, and items exploded all around him, covering the ground.
Just as Marvin was about to follow suit, he stared dumbfounded at Beatrice’s death.
This... this...! What in the world was this Phantom Class? Beatrice, an A-grade hidden class Dragon Blood Warrior, killed in a single strike!
Marvin fell to his knees with a thud, looking at Jiang Chen in terror. "Sorry, Big Brother, I was wrong! I shouldn’t have opposed you! Please, spare me!"
WHOOSH!
A beam of Sword Qi pierced Marvin’s chest.
Jiang Chen never showed mercy to his enemies, not even to insignificant ones.
Tao Ruisi took two steps back, looking at Jiang Chen in fear. She had just been looking for a helper; had she inadvertently invited some powerhouse instead? Such terrifying Offensive Power!
Jiang Chen smiled and said, "Don’t worry, I’m not a murderous maniac. They wanted to kill me first; I was just defending myself."
Tao Ruisi nodded. "I understand."
Jiang Chen continued, "These were your teammates’ belongings. You should collect them; they can still sell for a good sum."
Tao Ruisi asked, "You don’t need them?"
"Too ordinary," Jiang Chen replied. "Anyone who can casually produce a Resurrection Scroll is definitely not ordinary. They brought their deaths upon themselves and have no one else to blame. That’s just how the world is."
Angelina looked at the two bodies on the ground. "My money was with Beatrice! Now that he’s dead, what about the money I worked so hard for?"
Tao Ruisi glanced at Beatrice’s body and sighed. "Beatrice spent your money long ago. What savings are you talking about? He scammed you, and you just didn’t realize it."
Angelina couldn’t believe it. "Spent it? Why would he do that? We were friends! He often took me leveling!"
"You’re too trusting of others."
Tao Ruisi quietly picked up the scattered equipment from the ground and put it into her inventory.
Tao Ruisi glanced at Jiang Chen. "I think I should leave. Everyone else is gone; how can I continue through this dungeon?"
Angelina asked, "What about me?"
Tao Ruisi glanced at Jiang Chen, then at Angelina. Isn’t it obvious? He’s clearly here for you, she thought.
Jiang Chen smiled. "No problem, I’ll take you leveling and farming for gear."
"Just the two of us?"
"Two is enough."
"Are you sure you’re capable?"
Jiang Chen thought, Hmph... little lady, are you questioning my strength?
Tao Ruisi looked at Angelina and said, "You’d better follow him from now on. It’ll be better than following Beatrice; at least he won’t deceive you."
"Sister Tao, how do you know that?"
"Someone who can casually give you a Resurrection Scroll probably isn’t a bad person at heart."
"Sister Tao, actually, you could too!"
Tao Ruisi smiled. A flash of white light enveloped her, and she exited the dungeon.
Jiang Chen watched her leave. That woman certainly is perceptive.
Indeed, Jiang Chen’s primary interest was Angelina. And who could blame him? She possessed the Divine Blessing! As for Tao Ruisi, Jiang Chen wasn’t interested; ordinary Mages were a dime a dozen.
Angelina stood there, somewhat bewildered. My friends... they just died like that?
Jiang Chen consoled her, "They attacked first. You should understand, if I hadn’t killed them, they would have killed me. I was merely defending myself."
Angelina nodded. "I know... It’s just, they still owed me money! I’d been saving for so long, and now it’s all gone."
Jiang Chen internally sighed. This woman... Is she really that naive, or just pretending to be? Hasn’t she been told they already spent all the money? There isn’t a single coin left! He had expected her to be heartbroken over her friends’ deaths, but her primary concern was the money. Is she completely obsessed with money?
Jiang Chen said, "Follow me. When we get equipment drops in the future, I’ll share the profits from selling them with you, and you can save your share yourself."
"What’s the profit split?"
"I get seventy percent, you get thirty. How about that?"
Angelina’s face lit up with joy. "That’s great! Beatrice only ever gave me ten percent. I’ll make much more money with you!"
Jiang Chen’s eyes widened. Heck, this feels like I’m losing out a bit. Should I try to change the terms?
Jiang Chen said, "Let’s go. We’ll see if your Divine Blessing can bring us some good fortune."
Jiang Chen was intrigued. After all, the Divine Blessing was said to increase drop rates, and he’d never experienced its effects before.
The two continued onward. This time, Jiang Chen didn’t hold back, directly activating his Sky Flashing Mode and Heavenly Ruler Dragon Mode.
Angelina was utterly dumbfounded. What in the world is this Phantom Class? It’s so incredible!
Angelina watched the Sword Qi swirling around Jiang Chen. "One, two, three, four, five..."
"What are you doing?"
"I’m counting your Sword Qi."
Jiang Chen’s expression froze. Is this woman nuts?
Angelina laughed. "I’m just bored, so I’m counting. Now, where was I?"
"I don’t know."
"Then I’ll start counting again."
"One, two, three, four, five..."
Jiang Chen was silently fuming, a pang of regret hitting him. The woman wouldn’t stop muttering numbers. That alone would have been tolerable, but Jiang Chen was trying to focus on killing monsters, his Dragon Mastery Sword Qi flying out to strike down enemies. Yet, Angelina started counting all over again, apparently tireless.
Jiang Chen was utterly exasperated. "There are exactly Three Hundred Sword Auras! You don’t need to count!"
"That’s not right. There are two hundred eighty-nine Sword Auras. Did you make a mistake?"
Jiang Chen thought, Me, miscalculate? It’s my own Skill! As if I wouldn’t know how many there are!
"Well, if you’re not wrong, then I must be. I’ll count them again."
Jiang Chen was thoroughly speechless. "You really are bored, aren’t you?"
"I can’t help it! I’m not a combatant, so I can’t help you fight monsters. Besides, your damage is so high, I don’t think you need my help to kill them anyway."
"You’re such a good person! Not only are you power-leveling me, but you’re also giving me money. I’ll follow you from now on. You absolutely mustn’t leave me behind!"
"I’m puzzled. You’re a Ritualist; you shouldn’t be short of money. Why do you need so much?"
"I just like the feeling. I love sleeping on a pile of money!"
"Then why did you give your money to Beatrice?"
"He said he’d help me invest it."
Jiang Chen: "..."
The two continued deeper into the easy-level dungeon. Everywhere they passed, only death remained. Even a level 40 BOSS couldn’t withstand a single strike from Jiang Chen.
This proved that even easy-level dungeons could drop equipment.
When they faced the dungeon’s strongest BOSS, Angus, a giant sword dropped to the ground.
[Angus Greatsword (Diamond-grade)]
Jiang Chen looked at the equipment. It really is all about luck! Look what happens when I team up with Angelina. Our first clear, and we get an equipment drop—a Diamond-grade one at that! My luck is booming!
