Chapter 33: Guild Creation Token!
Page (1/3)
[Floor Five Rewards: Guild Creation Token ×1, Gold Coins ×2,500, Azure Battle Boots (Epic) ×1!]
The instant Su Nian saw the rewards, he completely lost his composure.
If he remembered correctly...
In the shops of the future, a single Guild Creation Token was worth at least six hundred thousand gold coins!
Moreover, once the top clubs and wealthy powerhouses of his previous life learned of the terrifying benefits a guild could provide its players, they had ignored the exorbitant price of the tokens and frantically bought up every gold coin they could find.
Their goal was to create a guild at the earliest possible moment and ensure they would not fall behind anyone else!
At the thought of this, Su Nian eagerly took the Guild Creation Token from his inventory.
[Notice: During the first three days after the game's launch, players cannot create or join guilds.]
“...”
“All right.”
Su Nian raised an eyebrow and put the token away.
He could only wait until tomorrow.
He then turned his attention to the new equipment in his inventory.
[Azure Battle Boots (Epic)]
[Level: Lv. 7.]
[Effect 1: Mana +400.]
[Effect 2: Spell Power +50.]
[Effect 3: Movement Speed +5.]
“Not bad...”
After equipping the Azure Battle Boots, Su Nian's mana surpassed 1,550, while his spell power climbed to 170.
With his current attack power and spell power, a single Frost Spell dealt at least four hundred damage.
Satisfied, Su Nian looked toward the passage ahead.
Next came the sixth underground floor!
However, the fifth floor alone had taken him half an hour.
If nothing unexpected happened, there would likely be more than a hundred elite monsters on the sixth floor!
He remembered that in his previous life, it had taken well over a hundred top-tier players from the game's early days nearly ten hours of rotating combat to barely clear the sixth floor.
And now, he was alone...
“I'd like to see what you've got!”
Su Nian flicked his sleeve and walked toward the dark passage leading to the next floor. Clearly, he was prepared for a battle of endurance!
When it came to endurance—
Was there any aspect of Su Nian that lacked staying power?
However, when he arrived on the sixth underground floor and saw the densely packed, gigantic elite monsters glaring furiously at him, the corner of his mouth twitched violently.
[Plate-Armored Giant Lizard: Lv. 12.]

[Rank: Elite.]
[Health: 3,650.]
[Physical Defense: 300.]
[Attack: 130.]
[Skills: Hardening, Plate Armor Shield, Thorned Retribution, Unyielding Will.]
Looking at the status window of the Plate-Armored Giant Lizard before him, Su Nian could only exclaim inwardly, What the hell?
Three thousand six hundred and fifty health was one thing, but three hundred physical defense as well?
That would directly cut the damage of his basic attacks by more than half!
And what was even more outrageous...
Just look at those skills.
Every single one of them was related to defense.
How afraid of dying were they?
Were they iron tortoises?
“Damn it!”
Just as Su Nian's expression darkened, the enormous group of Plate-Armored Giant Lizards gave him no chance to complain further. One after another, they raised their massive claws and swung them straight at him!
Seeing this, Su Nian could not be bothered to complain anymore.
Even if he had to execute every last one of them with percentage-based damage—
He would still take down this group of iron tortoises!
Not only did he have staying power, he was tough as well!
And so...
A fierce battle erupted at once!
The process was extremely arduous.
With the damage of his basic attacks greatly reduced, nearly ninety percent of the more than one hundred Plate-Armored Giant Lizards were slain by his talent.
Just like that, three hours passed in the blink of an eye.
Although the battle had been grueling, the rewards were extraordinarily generous!
[Floor Six Rewards: Talent Upgrade Card ×1, Gold Coins ×5,000, Free Attribute Points ×50.]
[Talent Upgrade Card: When used, raises any talent below S-rank by one level!]
“Holy crap?”
“A Talent Upgrade Card?”
The instant he saw the item, Su Nian's eyes widened slightly.
It could raise any talent below S-rank by one level?
Wouldn't that mean that using it on an A-rank talent could directly create an artificial S-rank talent?
How great was the gap between an A-rank talent and an S-rank one?
There was no need to look at anything else. The fact that, after signing with clubs, holders of the two ranks received annual salaries differing by at least tenfold was proof enough...
The value of this single Talent Upgrade Card was far beyond what one or two pieces of legendary equipment could compare to!
However, once Su Nian realized how valuable the item was, the first thing he thought of was—
Su Yu's surgery fees were secured!

Not only were they secured, there would even be more than enough!
First of all, surgery was something that should never be delayed if it could be avoided. The sooner it was done, the better!
Secondly, a Talent Upgrade Card...
For a ridiculously overpowered player like him, who possessed a talent beyond S-rank, it was completely useless.
As for using it on Su Yu in the future?
He firmly believed that no matter what talent Su Yu awakened, even if she entered the game two years later than him...
Under his guidance, Su Yu would still crush the vast majority of players!
That aside, all he needed to do was equip the girl with several fully enhanced divine items and give her two simple, brainless, but powerful divine skills. Even without a talent, she could still beat those S-rank players senseless...
One blow each, without giving them so much as a chance to make a sound!
Of course, Su Nian did not know that his little sister had already awakened an S-rank talent—and that its effects were astonishingly powerful.
If he knew even a little of the truth, he would never have thought this way...
Then again, it probably would not be long before he found out.
“The harvest this time has truly satisfied me!”
Su Nian glanced at his inventory, looking thoroughly pleased.
Aside from the four items and one piece of epic equipment he had obtained, he had also gained a total of ten thousand gold coins, along with seventy free attribute points that he had already allocated to attack speed.
At present, not only had his attack speed broken through 3.38, but thanks to the massive amount of experience accumulated from clearing floor after floor, he had also exchanged enough of it for more than two hundred skill points!
If Su Nian had not converted all the experience he gained into skill points, he would have broken through Level 10 long ago and said goodbye to the Beginner's Village...
However, he was in no hurry to use the skill points.
He would wait until the rankings were updated at six o'clock!
With that thought, Su Nian glanced at the time in the upper-right corner and raised an eyebrow.
“Has it already passed four in the afternoon without me noticing?”
From logging in and completing quests, to leading the boss near noon and visiting the Treasure Grounds, Su Nian had spent quite a while at it.
He stretched his back. He was beginning to feel tired.
Afterward...
He went to take a look at the next floor.
Fortunately, the elite monsters on the seventh underground floor were not as ironclad as those on the sixth.
However, the number of elite monsters here was still nothing to scoff at. If he forced himself to grind through them, he could probably manage it, but by the time he finished, it might already be tomorrow.
He might not die suddenly, but he would certainly die of exhaustion.
Unless he had a large-area attack skill.
That was precisely the kind of ability he lacked most at present!
“Whew... I haven't eaten a single bite all day. I'll log off first, grab something to eat, and rest for half an hour. By the time I log back in, the rankings should be updated. I'm out of here. Staying alive comes first.”
After leaving the Treasure Grounds, Su Nian immediately chose to log off.
He would rest and recover for a while before logging back in...
After all, there was still one major matter waiting for him!
