Chapter 687: A Bountiful Day!Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

With the help of the forest elves, the battle that followed was easy…
“No… No, it’s impossible. Mortals, you are all just mortals, how could you avoid my magic, how could you hurt me!” Herazl’s eyes were full of disbelief. He stood unmoving, shuddered, then crumpled onto the ground. “Thank you… thank you… mortal, I… I’m finally… free…”
This… was the end?!
An elemental revolving mage who had killed tens of thousands of people, died just like that?!
Fang Han stood transfixed for a half minute before he finally composed himself. “Quick! Let me see the drops!”
As he spoke, he rushed forward. After rummaging around for a while, he started laughing. “Hahahaha, as expected, he’s got good drops!”
Ice Crystal, blue, excellent quality. There was a line of small characters above it: Pure ice elemental crystal, basic raw material used to make advanced ice attribute weapons.
Frosted Staff Shards, blue, superior quality. Frost spell power increased by 20%, raw material used to make a Staff head.
Instructions to make “Frost Robe”. Explanation: Instructions to make the Frost Robe. Frost Robe: Excellent quality, Strength: +7, Agility: +6, Reflexes: +8, Spell Skill Damage increased by up to 15%, Frost Resistance: +4.
Flaming Sword Skill. Explanation: Level one martial art secret manual, when mastered, attributes increased by 120%.
If the first few items were worth a bit of money, the last one was worth a lot of money!
Martial arts secret manual!
This was something everyone dreamed of getting. It would be easy to sell it for millions of Galaxy Dollars!
Everything in this world was good, but martial arts secret manuals were the most important of all. It was able to increase attributes in the virtual world as well as the real world. That was no joke!!
Today was a bountiful day, with a lot of finds. After killing the Frost mage, Herazl, everything they got combined would fetch four million! An absolutely astronomical amount!
“Hahaha, we have had a bountiful day.” Fang Han approached Hong Dali excitedly and said, “Brother Dali, there are a total of four drops. You choose two first, I will take the other two!” He had put in the most effort for today’s battle and just the health potions already cost him one hundred and forty thousand. However, the outcome of the battle was reversed because of Hong Dali, so it was reasonable that Hong Dali got to choose first. Knowing what was the correct thing to do and actually doing it were two different matters. Fang Han did not hesitate at all. It showed that he was indeed a worthy friend with good character.
“I choose two?” Hong Dali touched his nose.
The ice crystal was useless to him. Flaming Sword Skill was just a level one martial arts, it was not really interesting. He even threw the “Magic Demon Skill” book into the dog house. This level one skill book would not pique his interest.
However, the Frosted Staff Shards and the Frost Robe looked interesting, so Hong Dali chose these two. “I want these two, they look pretty.”
“Brat, you’re not choosing the martial arts secret manual?” Tang Long was so angry he smacked him. “Among the four items, the secret manual is the most valuable!”
“I don’t practice martial arts, what do I want it for?” Hong Dali took the Frosted Staff Shards and threw them to Tang Muxin. “I gave away the necklace earlier, so this is for you now. Hehe, they should look pretty set in a necklace.”
“Dali,” Tang Muxin asked sweetly, “Is it really for me?” She promised to kill anyone who said Hong Dali was not romantic.
“Of course.” Hong Dali chuckled and preened. “I’ll make the Frost Robe for Sister Nianwei later. She will definitely look very pretty in it.”
Li Nianwei smiled. “Thank you, Young Master.”
Fang Han looked at Hong Dali from the corner of his eyes, seemingly deep in thought.
This Hong Dali is really a worthy friend. After taking this martial arts secret manual that is worth millions of Galaxy Dollars, I must make up for it somehow. I cannot leave things like that. This was what Fang Han thought.
…
Outside the Frost Palace.
“Young Master Wei,” One of the followers asked carefully, “Big Young Master Fang Han’s group has been inside for so long. There seems to be no activity, could they…”
“Could they what? They must have died inside,” Fang Wei said disdainfully. “Hundreds of thousands have gone in and died. Their group is only three thousand strong, what can they accomplish?”
“Hehe, that’s true.” The follower thought about it. “What do we do next?”
Fang Wei laughed. “That woman has been scared off and there is no one else here. What else is there to do? We will go in and collect my brother’s corpse later. Hahahaha!”
He and Fang Han had been feuding for so many years. Naturally, he would not pass up such a good opportunity to mock him.
Just as he said that the palace gates suddenly opened. Fang Han, leading more than a thousand people, walked out chatting happily with Hong Dali and his companions.
As they walked, Fang Han said, “That was a close call…” He glanced briefly at Fang Wei as he said that and immediately shut up. “I shall not say more in case some people get jealous. Hahaha! I am in a good mood today, are you free tonight? Shall we have a drink together? How about I pick you up?”
They chatted as they walked, and when they passed by Fang Wei, they did not even glance at him. They treated him as air and ignored him!
He had been ignored!
When had Fang Wei ever been treated this way since he was born? Fuming mad, he gnashed his teeth and his fists were clenched so tightly they were close to bursting. “Damn, investigate thoroughly. Exactly what happened inside? Look at Fang Han, he must have killed Herazl. Find out what drops they got inside!”
He had just given the command when Fang Han suddenly turned around and waved the martial arts secret manual in his hand at Fang Wei. “Oh, I almost forgot to tell you, I just got this ‘Flaming Sword Skill’ from inside. My good brother, how about I sell it to you for five million?”
“F**k!” When he knew that a martial arts secret manual had actually appeared inside, Fang Wei stomped his foot angrily. “Let’s go!”
An entire group of people disappeared in the blink of an eye.
“Eh.” Seeing that Fang Wei had left angrily, Fang Han shook his head helplessly and said, “Brother Dali, I’m sorry. Fang Wei is a petty person. I have to let him know this is what I got from inside, so he would give up and go away. Otherwise, once he finds out that we got it because of you… it will be very troublesome.” He said to the people around him, “Everyone, remember. The Ice Mage Herazl was killed by our joint effort. It has nothing to do with Brother Dali. Do you all hear me?”
“Understood!” Everyone answered.
“Hehe, I understand.” Hong Dali smiled widely. “Thank you for your concern, Big Brother Fang. Hehe.”
What Fang Han meant was simple. If Fang Wei knew that Hong Dali helped to kill the ice mage, he would definitely create trouble for Hong Dali. However, if the mage was killed by Fang Han, there was nothing he could do.
Once out of the frosty forest, Fang Han smiled and said, “Brother Dali, there are no words to express my gratitude to you. I got to vent my anger today thanks to you. It will be my treat tonight. Do you have any means of contact? Give it to me, I will pick you up tonight. Okay?”
“Okay.” Hong Dali chuckled and had Tang Long provide him with a contact number. The two parties then went their separate ways.
On the way, Tang Long was still feeling upset. “Brat, that is a level one martial art secret manual. It is worth at least three million and you did not want it, you’re really…”
“Aiyaya, I am a prodigal.” Hong Dali didn’t care at all. “I only care about spending money, I don’t care about earning it! Oh, yes. By the way, isn’t the purpose of this virtual world to encourage humans to practice martial arts more? How come martial arts secret manuals are so expensive?”
“This, I really have to explain it to you.” Tang Long said, “This world’s martial arts secret manuals are divided into two types. One helps people become strong and healthy, this type is worth nothing. You can buy a set with just a few tens Galaxy Dollars. They are mass-produced. The other type is the real martial arts secret manuals. It can increase the various attributes of a person by a great degree. Generally, those who can afford such martial arts secret manuals are the warriors carefully cultivated by big corporations and influential families. These warriors are to join the military later. Rare things and people are expensive. In the Galaxy Alliance, soldiers are prized for their skill and not their numbers. When they are on the battlefield, most soldiers can only be regarded as cannon fodder, their numbers count for nothing. Only those who are truly willing to go all out are qualified to practice the martial arts secret manuals and go onto the battlefield in the future.
“So, in a nutshell, this secret manual is the key to entering the military. Unless you are really clever and determined, you will not be able to master it. Those who can are military members with extraordinary status.”
After Tang Long explained, Hong Dali understood.
It was because the secret manuals were expensive and rare, so only those who were really willing to learn martial arts were able to master it. This was not like the mass production of language and mathematics textbooks on Earth that anyone could learn and have a chance to advance. Here, if you were willing to pay huge sums of money to buy the martial arts secret manual, you should be someone who had the aptitude to learn it. In the hands of an ordinary person, it would be a sacrilegious waste of a rare item. This made everything simple. Those who could learn were likely to succeed. That saved the military time and effort when recruiting. There were so many people in the galaxy, if they had to screen everyone, they would be exhausted.
They exited the forest and returned to the portal. With a flash of white light, they were back in the main city of Shenluo in the virtual world. They shopped around casually and as they prepared to log-off, Tang Long’s eyes suddenly lit up. He said with a grin, “Dali, do you see the shop that we just passed by?”
Hong Dali nodded. “Yes, I see it. What about it?”
Tang Long continued, “There is a black iron piece in the counter of that shop. Do you see it?”
When they passed by earlier, Hong Dali had taken a quick glance at the items in the shop. Naturally, he had also seen the black iron piece that Tang Long was talking about. It was a very old black iron piece covered with rust spots and accompanied by some yellow mud that had not been washed off. It looked like an item that had just been excavated from the soil.
“I see it.” Hong Dali nodded. “What is it?”
“Heheh, it’s good stuff. I saw the price, it’s very cheap…” Tang Long started chuckling.
