Chapter 60: The Ingenious Scam
Prove your strength by defeating a BOSS named Swordtooth Tiger Lord.
To be honest, for this BOSS, if it were Ding Qiang himself, it would still be quite difficult. However, at this moment, with several teammates who have ulterior motives by his side, this BOSS is not much of a challenge for everyone.
The girl is a fierce attacker, the super wooden strength is not weak either, and he doesn't need to be said. In short, that half-road called pastor also added a few mouthfuls of blood when killing BOSS in the end, and at other times, it was basically in a state of nothingness.
"Ahhh..."
With a mournful howl, the Sword Toothed Tiger leader's body tilted to one side and collapsed to the ground, transforming into a beam of white light.
The task boss didn't drop anything good, and after a few people casually threw some damage at it and split the loot, seeing that nothing was happening, the priest waved goodbye to everyone and headed back to town.
"System Prompt: Congratulations, you have completed [Prove Your Strength], now you can return to Lantis."
At this time, Ding Qiang's mission for this trip was considered complete, and what was left was... to have a good play with this super wooden head.
Although he had long heard of the great reputation of Super Wood, he had never dealt with each other before, so he really wanted to see for himself whether the other party was as capable of deceiving people as rumored.
On the other hand, seeing Ding Qiang complete his task without hurrying to return to the city with the scroll, Super Wood also let out a sigh of relief.
"Go, friend, go and do my task."
"Hmm." After responding with a murmur, the three of them immediately rushed off in another direction.
Although this is still the activity range of the sword-toothed tiger, many people have killed their way here, and the old monsters have been cleared out, while new ones have not yet spawned, so along the way, they haven't encountered any small monsters blocking their path.
Before long, the three of them arrived at a fairly spacious open area.
"My task is like this......" Super Tree placed a fantasy-style magic device on the ground and explained: "First, use several pieces of equipment as sacrifices, then through this device, you can summon a BOSS. After killing this BOSS, not only can you retrieve your own equipment, but also get the equipment dropped by this BOSS."
"Oh? There's such a strange task?" Ding Qiang asked with some doubt.
"Of course... " Seeing the other's confusion, Super Mu Tou said: "Come on, if you don't believe me, let's try it out first. This device can be used a total of three times, we'll test it a few times."
"Hmm." Ding Qiang nodded, now convinced that this so-called task was just a scam by the super wooden guy, but he couldn't quite figure out how the other party planned to cheat him.
What's with the summoning monsters, there are quite a few quests that involve summoning and killing them, it's easy to get some at that time, but what's up with this equipment? But whether throwing it on the ground or picking it back up, the system always has a prompt, in that case wouldn't it be...
But if you leave your equipment there without picking it back up and a monster appears, won't the equipment still be visible?
While thinking, Super Mu and Yao Ren Teng were already standing by.
"I'll throw out an equipment first, take a look." As he said that, Super Muzi rummaged through his clothes and threw out an equipment onto the ground with a "clunk".
In the middle of the arena, a magical device suddenly emitted a loud noise and spewed out a cloud of black smoke. When the smoke dissipated, a grotesquely ugly creature resembling a minotaur appeared in the center of the arena. As for the equipment on the ground...
Ding Qiang's eyes widened suddenly.
That equipment... has actually vanished into thin air...
"Damn it..." He hastily flipped through the system prompt record, but found that from just now, there was only a prompt for Super Wood dropping equipment, and no prompt for him picking it up. The equipment had simply disappeared without any reason.
Just as he was lost in thought, on the other side, Super Mùtou and Yào Rén Téng had already beaten that Minotaur monster to death, then...
Splash!
At least five or six pieces of equipment fell to the ground, including the one he had thrown down earlier.
He took a glance at the equipment and said with some disappointment, "Well, they're all trash. You can take these few pieces of warrior equipment, it seems like next time we'll have to bring more good equipment as offerings."
"Hmm." He responded with a single word, and after instructing someone to clean up the battlefield, he sat down to begin recovering his magic and life.
"How's that?" Super Wood asked with a smile as he distributed several pieces of equipment into Ding Qiang's backpack.
Looking at the equipment in the package, Ding Qiang's mind was still a bit confused.
"Could this really be a task?" As soon as the thought emerged in his mind, Ding Qiang drove it out of his mind. But if it wasn't a task, then...
This guy is indeed somewhat skilled...
A moment later, since a person can only summon once, this time, the wanted person throws out equipment as an offering.
Perhaps it was stimulated by the few pieces of trash just now, anyway this time, I threw away three green equipment, one of which was as high as level 25, and it cost me a lot.
Boom!
Suddenly, a cow-headed monster with a shiny body appeared on the scene...
Even with his eyes wide open and looking carefully, Ding Qiang still couldn't find where the equipment that was thrown on the ground had gone to, as if it really disappeared like a sacrificial offering.
"Yeah, elite monster, let's kill it." Super Mallet and Wanton were so excited that they almost jumped up.
Just like before, it was quick. Under the sharp attacks of the two people, even an elite Minotaur would soon die at their hands.
Whoosh...
After this Essence Cow Head died, suddenly a big explosion came instantly.
And those few weapons that had disappeared earlier were right among them...
"My god, what the hell is going on...?" Ding Qiang was completely baffled.
Although he knew it was a scam, he couldn't see through it, which made Ding Qiang doubt his own judgment in his heart.
"Was I just overthinking this, is this really a quest?" Ding Qiang thought to himself as he looked at the shiny equipment and gold coins on the ground.
According to his observation, it seems that whatever type of equipment is thrown out, the same type of equipment will explode. Just now, three pieces of mage equipment were thrown out, and except for those three original ones, most of the remaining ones are also mage equipment, with only one being a thief's from earlier who participated in the attack, while as for the warrior's, unfortunately, there isn't one.
"If I were to throw away the equipment on me, then after summoning and defeating the BOSS...” Ding Qiang's mind couldn't help but think, his current equipment was already quite good, but if it could be even better, then...
"Little Qiang brother, have you seen it?" Looking at the new equipment on the law master's body, Super Muzi said: "Want to try it out?"
"I..." Looking at the super wooden face in front of him, he glanced at the painful person beside him, and Ding Qiang's eyes were momentarily dazed.
After a moment, as if he had made up his mind, Ding Qiang nodded and said, "Alright, I'll give it a try."
"Hmm." Super Wood was secretly delighted in his heart, but on the surface he calmly said: "Come on, this is your last chance, you'd better seize it..."
"Hmm." Ding Qiang gritted his teeth and said: "I'll throw away this weapon in my hand, the output later on will mainly rely on you guys."
"No problem..." They exchanged a glance without batting an eyelid, and both Super Mu Tou and Yao Ren Tong felt a thrill in their hearts.
Soon, standing on the field, Ding Qiang said: "I'm going to throw it away."
"Throw it, throw it." Super Wooden Eyes stared widely, waiting for the equipment to appear on the ground, and immediately picked it up.
Actually, Ding Qiang's guess wasn't wrong at all. There was no summoning task with offerings, it was all nonsense. All of this was just a scam set up by Super Wooden Head.
This scam seemed flawless and perfect, but in fact it was simple because there was an item on him.
[The Honest Chapter]: Conceal the system prompts you want to hide, making your actions able to deceive anyone.
This chapter of honesty, like the glorious chapter that Ding Qiang now possesses, is also a fragment of the King's Chapter. Super Muzi took advantage of this medal to hide all the system prompts for picking up and throwing away equipment, so others could only see the prompts for throwing items out, but couldn't see the prompts for picking up items or throwing equipment out at the moment monsters died, making the whole thing seem flawless to unsuspecting onlookers.
After all, no one would have known that there was such a treasure on Super Wood.
Just as he was standing there triumphantly, his eyes suddenly blurred and he saw a strangely-shaped double-handed sword appear on the ground in front of him, which looked exactly like the one that the Undead Little Qiang had been holding just now.
"Haha, as expected. The warrior most needed the weapon in his hand, so he had an 80% grasp that the opponent would throw out the weapon, and now it seems to be true."
Super Wood didn't hesitate and swiftly darted over, about to pick up this weapon.
It was just in the next moment that something unexpected happened to him...
No matter how he picked it up, the long sword seemed to have taken root and was firmly fixed on the ground, without moving a single bit.
Just then, Ding Qiang's calm voice came over...
"I knew it..."
Although it is still unknown why the other party would do something that seems flawless, from the reaction just now, this is undoubtedly a scam, and it's quite sophisticated, to the point where he still finds some inexplicable scams.
The reason why the other party couldn't pick up the long sword in his hand was actually very simple.
Because he has already left the team...
Normally discarded items will have a possession time of one to five minutes, during which time only the person who actively discarded the item can move it, and others cannot. The higher the level of the item, the longer the possession time.
"Grandma's, how did you find out?" Anyway, the facade had already been torn apart, and Super Muhou didn't pretend anymore. While waving his dagger, he rushed towards the opponent and asked gloomily.
He had just gone to pick up the equipment, so he was very close to the opponent, close enough that even if he was stealthy, the opponent could easily attack him. So, although unwilling, he could only wield his weapon and fight hard against the opponent...
"Guess what..." Ding Qiang smiled slyly and didn't waste any words, dodging the opponent's attack before swiftly counterattacking with a ruthless sword strike!
