Chapter 17: A Difficult Choice

  As expected by Liu Feng, the White Snake King spewed out a stream of foul-smelling toxic liquid at him, this sky-shrouding toxic liquid almost being an all-around attack.

  Liu Feng had made preparations for defense, but still dodged too late, and his body was stained with the toxic liquid.

  Ding! You have been attacked by Bai Suzhen's venom and are now poisoned. You will lose 60 HP per second for the next 10 seconds.

  Liu Feng's body turned green, and the "Bleeding" status floated above his head non-stop. The venom of this poisonous snake was really potent, causing his life to rapidly decrease. Although he kept drinking second-grade blood medicine, it still couldn't keep up with the speed at which his health was dropping.

  The White Snake didn't give Liu Feng such an easy opportunity to recover his blood, it took advantage of Liu Feng's rapidly declining life and fiercely wanted to kill him.

  Liu Feng's speed saved him, allowing him to wander between the White Snake King's attacks.

  After a life-and-death struggle, the White Snake King finally fell to the ground in defeat. Liu Feng also leveled up to 19 in a flash of white light.

  Ding! Congratulations, you have entered the top 10 ranking list. Would you like to make your name public?

  Liu Feng made a decisive choice of no.

  At this moment, Liu Feng's heart was just one word - cool. He hadn't expected to squeeze into the top 10 so quickly. It seemed that this BOSS had brought him quite a bit of benefit. If he could keep killing BOSSes like this, his level would definitely soar.

  But there aren't so many BOSSes for him to kill, Liu Feng's luck is just relatively good.

  Liu Feng looked at his remaining 100+ life points and sat down beside the White Snake King, the intense battle earlier had consumed a lot of his physical strength.

  He took a look at his inventory of secondary blood medicine and found that he only had 50 bottles left, which was almost depleted after being consumed by several BOSSes.

  He stood up and walked to the side of the White Snake King. The things that fell wouldn't be there forever, after a long time they would be cleared away by the system if not picked up.

  They are two pieces of equipment, one is a blue wrist guard that can be used by myself, and the other is a blue shoe for mages, which can be kept to sell for money.

  Liu Feng picked up the scattered medicine and silver coins from the ground. These medicines are now very precious.

  White Snake Guard (Blue Equipment)

  Equipment Type: Armor

  Life: 130

  Body type: 6

  Required level: 20

  Profession required: Knight, Swordsman

  The exclusive wrist guard of White Snake King, made from the shed skin of White Snake King, with great elasticity.

  Liu Feng looked at the somewhat blurry corpse of the White Snake King on the ground, this guy didn't even have four limbs, yet it still had a dedicated wrist guard, the designer was really playful.

  Liu Feng put things away after taking out the blue key, and now only the south side was left.

  Liu Feng's bag had only over 60 secondary blood potions, including the ones he just picked up. It should be enough to get him through the next BOSS, but what worried him was that after entering the Thunder God Temple, if it was too dangerous inside and he didn't have any blood potions, he would have no choice but to regretfully give up.

  Liu Feng still decided not to think about these things for now, and first gather all the keys, then consider how to enter this Thunder God Temple.

  On the southernmost side, Liu Feng still didn't find any BOSS, but there were three large boxes. Liu Feng did not walk over directly, instead he carefully looked around and only approached after making sure it was safe.

  Three boxes are the same size, Liu Feng didn't rush to open them because he saw some instructions next to them. The three boxes can only be opened one at a time, and once one box is opened, the other two will definitely disappear.

  The box on the left is a golden equipment, the box on the right is an ultimate skill book, only the middle one is the key.

  That is to say, Liu Fei chose equipment or skills, and this task was over, but before the reward for this task appeared, no one could guarantee that his choice of equipment or skills was not a big advantage.

  Liu Feng was somewhat hesitant, now a single white silver equipment could sell for tens of thousands, so how could a golden piece not be an astronomical price? Moreover, he also knew that an extreme quality skill was priceless.

  No matter what the reward is, it seems that the things in these two boxes are more tempting. Liu Feng doesn't think this task reward can give a golden equipment, at that time it's just a blue equipment as a reward, and his intestines will regret it.

  Liu Feng was hesitant among these several boxes, just like choosing a wife. He already knew that the two on either side were stunning beauties, while the one in the middle was an unknown quantity - possibly a breathtaking beauty, or perhaps a ugly and unrefined street goods.

  Liu Feng hesitated for a moment, and finally made up his mind. His hand reached out towards that top-grade skill book.

  When he was about to open it, the box in the middle suddenly opened violently. He had a strong curiosity about what this reward was. Sometimes curiosity doesn't kill the cat.

  Sure, here is the translation:

  As expected, just like the introduction said, as soon as Liu Feng opened the middle box, the other two boxes disappeared directly, which made Liu Feng's heart ache for a moment, after all, they were golden equipment and priceless skill books that had never appeared in the entire district.

  Since I've chosen it, I won't regret it. Liu Feng took out the white key inside and now it's time to uncover the secret behind this key. Was choosing this white key a wise decision?

  He walked quickly to the pile of skulls and felt the skull with the key on Liu Feng's body, a red glow flashing in the empty eye sockets.

  The skull's mouth opened and closed: "Congratulations, respected adventurer, on obtaining the four keys to open the Temple of Thunder. I will give you a generous reward."

  Ding! Congratulations on completing S-level mission, open Thunder God Temple, get level reward 1, get reputation 100 points.

  Liu Feng was stunned, is this all the rewards? Then he had lost big time. Compared to a level up or a golden equipment and an ultimate skill, 100% of people would choose the latter. Because one level can be upgraded in at most three hours, but a golden equipment or an ultimate skill cannot be obtained in just one or two days. Some people might play until the game is closed and still not get it.

  Liu Feng's heart rose with strong regret, but now it's already like this, can't change again, still scolding Hengsheng Group to the bottom of his heart.

  Liu Feng rose to level 20 in a flash of golden light, and as he leveled up, another voice came through.

  Ding! Congratulations, you have reached the top of the ranking list. Would you like to make your name public?

  This system voice made Liu Feng turn from anger to joy, he had actually climbed to first place, and didn't know what Li Xun's in-game name was, but he was sure he could defeat him and take everything back.

  Liu Feng still chose to decline, his purpose for coming to the game was only to defeat Li Xun, as for fame and fortune he had long since abandoned them, if it were the old Liu Feng he would have spent money to hire people to make himself famous.

  "Alas, what a pity! To think that the mighty Tianfeng Nation has fallen to such a state is truly heartbreaking." The skeleton's sigh made Liu Feng's eyes light up - this task wasn't over yet? It was actually a linked task.

  He smiled and walked forward, asking: "I don't know how to make Tianfeng Country return to its former state."

  "That skull's voice revealed excitement: 'Brave adventurer, if you can make a contribution to our Tianfeng country, we will definitely give you a rich reward.'"

  Liu Feng silently cursed the dead skull, at first it was also such a rich reward that attracted himself, but in the end he missed out on the golden equipment and the top-grade skill book.

  But Liu Feng smiled and said: "I'm willing."

  Having many tasks doesn't overwhelm him; if they're not completed, this skull won't jump out and bite him.

  "Thank you, young adventurer. The Skywind Nation was dealt a fatal blow by the demon realm 200 years ago, and all living things were demonized. Now, the Skywind Nation is fragmented into four parts. Only by finding the Four Great Heavenly Generals can the fallen civilization be revived."
