nChapter 4

nNow, there was no shortage of funds.

nOf course, one could never have too much money.

nEspecially when he knew that everything in the game would become real after the game invaded. Taking advantage of the huge drop in the game item prices, the more items and equipment there were, the better.

nEven if he couldn’t use them all in the future, they could be used as a bargaining chip.

nNext, Lin Chen and Liu Mengyao began to synthesize pet eggs.

nThe pets in New World were very powerful combat partners.

nHowever, it also depended on the pet’s grade and whether it matched the owner’s profession.

nFor example, Lin Chen’s class was Wind Mage.

nHe had yet to complete the Class Advancement Quest in the Forbidden Land of Gods. After completing it, Lin Chen would obtain a class title… Wind God!

nThis was a Mage class with extremely high survivability, and it also had a lot of AOE skills. In a team, it was a top-notch independent existence… AOE skills allowed him to deal tons of damage, and he did not rely much on the protection of his teammates.

nIn that case, the best choice for Lin Chen’s pet resonance would be the Mage type. It would be best if it was skilled at Fire Magic.

nThe wind fueled the fire.

nMany of the Wind skills could be combined with Fire-type spells to cause more powerful damage.

nPreviously, Lin Chen also had a pet.

nFlame Rat.

nThe quality was excellent.

nThe quality of pets was divided into five grades: Ordinary, Excellent, Rare, Superior, and Perfect. There were also three Extraordinary grades, which were Legendary, Epic, and Mythical!

nAs for pet eggs, they were divided into five levels: White (Normal), Blue (Rare), Purple (Extraordinary), Gold (Super Rare), and Dazzling (Super Rare).

nThe probabilities were as follows:

nWhite eggs had an 80% chance of obtaining an ordinary pet and a 20% chance of obtaining an excellent pet.

nBlue eggs had an 80% chance of obtaining an outstanding pet and a 20% chance of obtaining a rare pet.

nA purple egg had an 80% chance of obtaining a rare pet and a 20% chance of obtaining a superior pet.

nThe golden egg had an 80% chance of obtaining a superior pet and a 20% chance of obtaining a perfect pet.

nThe dazzling egg had an 80% chance of obtaining a perfect pet, and a 20% chance of obtaining a Legendary, Epic, or Mythical pet.

nIt could be seen that pets in this game were also very expensive.

nFirstly, the price of rare eggs used to be at least 10,000.

nHowever, there was an 80% chance that the pets they opened were excellent grade.

nJust like Lin Chen’s Flame Rat.

nBack then, in order to buy this Flame Rat, Lin Chen had gritted his teeth and lived frugally for a long time.

nBut now, the price was different.

nLin Chen had 1,000 blue pet eggs.

nOne person did not need so many pets.

nEven if you were a Beast Tamer, you would only need at most a dozen or so pets.

nHence, they began to combine their pet eggs.

nPet egg synthesis was five for one.

nFive blue eggs combined to form a purple egg.

nIn other words, rare grade pets were at least five times more expensive than excellent grade pets.

nBecause the probability was relatively low, it was very difficult to obtain it.

nLin Chen’s 1,000 blue pet eggs were only enough to synthesize two dazzling top-grade pet eggs. He might not even be able to get legendary, epic, or mythical pets. One could imagine how expensive top-notch pets were in New World.

nIn the 20 years since the launch of New World, there had only been a total of 18 pets that exceeded Perfect Quality.

nOn average, there was less than one in a year.

nApart from the low probability, the price was too expensive.

nBefore the price plummeted, the price of a dazzling pet egg had reached about six million.

nHow many people in the world could have the economic strength to synthesize it?

nOnly the young masters and young ladies of the financial groups could do it.

nThat was why there were so few top-grade pets in this game.

nLin Chen gave Liu Mengyao 500 pet eggs and continued to synthesize them with her.

nHe felt that the pet eggs did not seem to be enough.

nBut it didn’t matter.

nLin Chen was no longer short of funds.

nAs he synthesized, he sent a voice message to Zhang Chunlin. “Continue to help me collect pet eggs. I want as many as you have. After you collect them, directly help me synthesize them.”

n“Okay!”

nZhang Chunlin replied.

nLin Chen planned to get at least one extraordinary pet each for himself and Liu Mengyao to increase their strength.

nTen minutes later, Liu Mengyao said in the party channel, “Lin Chen, I’m done synthesizing.”

n“Me too.”

nLin Chen smiled and said, “Come, let’s each open one… I’ll go first!”

nHe didn’t feel any pressure.

nIn the past, this was something worth five to six million.

nHis heart would definitely beat faster.

nEven now, it was worth tens of thousands.

nHowever, Lin Chen had experienced death before, so he was not so easily touched.

nHe opened it directly!

nA dazzling halo burst forth, and the light made it difficult for people to see clearly. As the dazzling light disappeared, a monster’s murmuring voice sounded.

nLin Chen and Liu Mengyao opened their eyes simultaneously.

nIn front of the two of them, a cute young stegosaurus with a row of fan-shaped spikes on its back appeared. It looked very much like an ancient stegosaurus. Moreover, this pet was only two meters tall.

nHowever, this was a pet with extremely high defense!

nMost pets in New World could be ridden. After the young stegosaurus was ridden by its owner, it would block 80% of the damage for its owner.

nUnfortunately, although the pet was very good, it was only of Perfect quality.

nIt had not reached the extraordinary standard.

n“Only two aspects of its four growth potential stats have reached S. The grade is Perfect.”

nLin Chen told Liu Mengyao regretfully.

nAs expected, probability was indeed a little difficult to deal with.

nIt seemed that there was no hope for him to get lucky on the first gacha draw.

nBut Liu Mengyao smiled and said, “I think it’s very good! Look at it, how cute is it?”

nGirls were like that. They liked cute things very much.

n“Then I’ll give it to you.”

nLin Chen smiled.

nHe had no use for a pet like the young stegosaurus.

nHe didn’t like it either.

nIf Liu Mengyao continued to like it, it wouldn’t be a bad idea for it to be her mount.

n“Okay! I’ll open one for you.”

nLiu Mengyao didn’t refuse.

nThe two of them had been together for so long that they had long passed the stage of being coy.

nHe would do whatever made him feel comfortable and natural.

nSoon, a dazzling egg bloomed in front of the two of them.

nThe blinding light made Lin Chen and Liu Mengyao close their eyes again.

nAt this moment, a few people passed by the warehouse. One of them said, “Boss, look… Someone is opening a dazzling egg, right?”

n“This game is about to stop service soon. Why are they still wasting money?”

n“Hehe, maybe it’s two rich people?”

n“Mark them…”

nThe few of them discussed.

nThe next moment, Lin Chen received a party request.

nBut immediately after, the request was withdrawn.

nLin Chen did not even know the other party’s name.

nHowever, his name was learned by the other party.

nLin Chen instantly realized that he had been targeted by a professional gold digger in the game.

n“Hmph, a gold digger?”

nLin Chen sneered in his heart.

nIn the game, there were no laws and regulations like in real life.

nTherefore, those who were originally dark-hearted began to become unscrupulous after entering the game. They even took pleasure in killing and snatching equipment!

nThey also referred to themselves as “gold diggers.”

nThey made a living by robbing equipment and selling them for money!

nLin Chen knew that these people had no morals in the game. Perhaps they would be submissive in reality.

nSoon, the game would invade reality.

nAt that time, the rules of the world would be overturned.

nBefore his rebirth, Lin Chen had personally seen some people who had inherited their gaming abilities. Not only did they not help people, but they also committed crimes everywhere… Therefore, Lin Chen did not have a good impression of these people.

nOf course, Lin Chen was not a saint.

nIt was not that he believed that everyone who had inherited the game’s ability had to save people.

nYou don’t have to save people when the apocalypse arrives, but don’t harm others maliciously!

n“It’s best if these gold diggers don’t provoke me. Otherwise, we have to chase after them and kill them. We have to loot all their equipment and suppress their ratings. Otherwise, it will be troublesome to deal with them when the game invades!”

nLin Chen made up his mind.

nOf course, his equipment had not been upgraded to the maximum, and his pets had not been upgraded. Now that he was being targeted by the gold diggers, Lin Chen would definitely not leave the main city.

nThe dazzling light ended.

nLiu Mengyao’s pet appeared in front of them.

nWhen opening a pet egg, only the party members could see the results. No one else knew, unless the pet that was opened was qualified to be on the announcement banner.

n“What did they get?”

nThe few gold diggers were very curious.

nThey hadn’t gone far yet, and they had been staring at them.

nLiu Mengyao didn’t know about their existence. She jumped up excitedly and said in the party channel, “Lin Chen, it’s a Vermillion Bird, haha… and it’s even mythical quality! Look, the four growth parameters have 2 SSS, 2 SS, and it has 3 talent skills!”

nLin Chen was also stunned!

nIt was a vermillion bird!

nIn fact, this bird had another name… Suzaku!

nHowever, in New World, its name was Vermillion Bird, and its identity seemed to be a synthesis of Suzaku and Phoenix in Eastern mythology.

nIt was bathed in flames.

nThe bird’s flame temperature was something that the Vermillion Bird could control.

nIn other words, it could burn whoever it wanted.

nAfter all, it was the Nanming Primordial Fire!

nThe main reason why it was said to be a combination of Suzaku and Phoenix was because of its innate skills…

nThere were a total of three. They were: Nanming Primordial Fire, Scorching Heaven and Earth, Nirvana Rebirth!

nNanming Primordial Fire (Passive): All Fire-type spells of the Vermillion Bird are Divine Fires from the Heavens. Damage increased by 300%, and it ignores any spell defense.

nScorching Heaven and Earth (Active): The Vermillion Bird is born as a god of fire. It can summon flames to cover a radius of 1,000 yards, dealing x2.75 Intelligence damage per second for 30 seconds. Cooldown: 10 minutes!

nNirvana Rebirth: After the Vermillion Bird’s HP is depleted, it will enter a state of nirvana. This state lasts for 30 minutes. If it is not killed within 30 minutes, it will be reborn and permanently obtain the stats it should gain in all 4 stats from level X. After that, its level will decrease by one level and it will lose all combat memories. However, the ownership relationship will not change!

nAfter reading the three talent skills, Lin Chen was shocked.

nAs expected of a Mythical pet!
