Chapter 34: Collecting the Octopus Compendium

hang Yi took out the piece of equipment.When the golden shimmer of a 2-star, level 8 [Silvermoon Bow] with enhanced stats appeared on Zhang Yi's stall, the players gathered around instantly erupted in...It was around noon, lunchtime, and there were quite a few other players in the restaurant having their lunch.

And the restaurants in Xia Zhen hope to have everything, from Zhang Yi's 50 silver coin steak to just a 10 copper coin bun. At this stage, players don't have much money, so most people eat a bowl of stir-fried rice or noodles for one silver coin. Relatively speaking, stir-fried noodles are the highest in value for money, cheap and with a decent hunger recovery amount.

A bowl of fried noodles can restore 10% of your hunger, while a steak restores 50%. Besides that, the difference in taste is indescribable.

When they saw Zhang Yi sitting there alone, eating steak and drinking red wine, the other players who were around eating fried rice and steamed buns all cast envious glances at him.

"Holy crap, this kid is eating a 50 silver coin steak Get outta here!"

"Stop looking, eat your fried rice! Some people are just rich, that's something we can only envy. After lunch, go out and farm some more monsters, maybe you'll get lucky and make some money tonight so we can have a nice dinner!"

Zhang Yi ignored the surrounding players' gossip. He ate his steak while looking at the chat channel of area 886, the safe zone. When he saw the crazy refreshing chat records, Zhang Yi almost spat out his red wine—

"Damn Storm Clan dogs! You killed half of my King of Glory squad today, I remember this. You better wait, I swear I'll make sure your Storm Clan won't survive three days in district 886!"

>

"Damn it, if it wasn't for that one-promise-to-the-city helping you guys, and him giving my silver moon bow to your leader Storm, a pile of **, with just you bunch of trash, could you even beat us Royal World"

"Hey, weren't you threatening to kill One Promise City a few times before Why do I feel like every time you see him now, you act like a mouse seeing a cat"

Both teams are really enjoying themselves, aren't they But that's good too. With the help of the Storm Family, Zhang Yi will find it even easier to take down the King's World team.

And unbeknownst to all, Zhang Yi also used the Storm Family to alter the course of history. Because in his previous life, at this time, the players of King's Landing had already begun to ruthlessly oppress the lone wolf players in the safe zone. However, in this life, they were currently focused solely on Zhang Yi and the members of the Storm Family, with no time to target the lone wolf players and implement their plan to seize control of Hope Town.

The chat window closed just as Zhang Yi finished his lunch, with both hunger and fatigue reaching a state of satiation.

Next, I'll go out on a mission to level up and spend the afternoon training. Then, in the evening, I'll meet Il for my weapon upgrade and take another leap in strength before facing an even greater challenge tomorrow.

In my memory, it should have been the third day of the server opening. Every district in every region of the world of Tianqi would face a disaster. If players could overcome this disaster, they would have the opportunity to greatly increase their overall strength. On the other hand, if the safe zone was destroyed, all players belonging to the same safe zone would die.

Therefore, Zhang Yi has to work hard to improve his abilities and prepare for tomorrow.

In Zhang Yi's view, the magic staff that Er is forging is, after all, a two-star weapon. A two-star weapon above level 10 plus a level 25 enhancement can directly increase Zhang Yi's strength by double!

As a reborn individual, Zhang Yi's memories held opportunities within or around Safe Zone 886. However, many of them required reaching a certain level or displaying sufficient strength. With Zhang Yi's current power as a level 10, first-turn beastmaster, many readily available opportunities remained out of reach for now.

So in the afternoon, Zhang Yi honestly went to the identification office at the safe zone and received a 120 difficulty coefficient task from the boss. The task was about hunting down the [Mutated Octopus] and collecting 200 [Octopus Illustrated] cards.

After replenishing on a large supply of red and blue potions at the store, Zhang Yi, following the map's guidance, arrived near a closed-off high school located in the suburbs, outside the safe zone.

This high school is the dwelling place of octopuses. According to the mission description: after the apocalypse broke out, countless infected octopuses that mutated ran down from the mountain behind the school, invading the school and killing all the students and teachers inside, feeding on their corpses and living in the school for a long time.

Taking out the flaming wand from his bag, Zhang Yi just stepped into the school grounds when a pungent smell of blood hit him.

With a cacophony of low growls and hisses, the sprawling campus was littered with octopi ranging from 12 to 15 levels, feasting on severely rotted, foul-smelling corpses clad in student uniforms.

Creatures of level 12-15, it seems that Zhang Yi, who is currently only level 10, can not only hunt these octopuses to complete the 【Collection of Octopus Encyclopedia】 quest, but also simultaneously engage in the 【Infinite Hunting】 survival mission.

With Zhang Yi's current attributes, he could easily solo a level 12 Octopus by challenging it two levels above his own. Even challenging a level 13 Octopus three levels above him wouldn't be a problem. However, to maximize the effectiveness of his [Thunder Chain] skill, which only has an 80% damage multiplier, Zhang Yi chose the lowest-level level 12 Octopus as his initial target.

Grade 12 Octopus, with 120 attack power, 50 magic resistance, and 350 health.

Locking onto the three closest level 12 Octopi in range, Zhang Yi waved his staff, unleashing a [Lightning Chain] towards one of them.

Bang!

A purple lightning bolt struck the octopus, propelling it and simultaneously attacking the three level 12 octopuses above it. Each of their heads was marked with a damage number of 125, and they were triggered by the 【Burning】talent, inflicting 39 points of burning damage per second.

The next moment, the three octopuses that were attacked cried out and quickly crawled towards Zhang Yifei.

Zhang Yi stood calmly on the spot, lightly waving his staff. “Biubiubiu,” three purple orbs representing basic attacks flew towards the three octopuses.

-156!

-234! (Critical Hit)

-156!

A lucky strike from an octopus directly killed one, while the other two died from the lingering burn damage of Burning before they even got close.

An average level 12 octopus grants 50 experience points. Three octopuses, totaling 150 experience points, benefited Zhang Yi.

Walked up to the corpses of several octopuses and collected the loot, finding three octopuses only dropped one [Octopus Encyclopedia]!
