He opened his backpack and looked at the items inside...

[Ice Spirit Staff]: Bronze Tier: Magic Attack +160, Magic Penetration +10%, Ice Magic Damage increased by 5%, Additional Attributes: Intelligence +24, Spirit +22. Requirement: Mage.

[Flame Bracelet]: Bronze Tier: Magic Attack +80, Mana +200, Fire Magic Damage increased by 5%, Cooldown Reduction 5%, Additional Attributes: Intelligence +21, Agility +20. Requirements: Mage, Priest.

Looking at these two pieces of equipment, Wu Shaochen licked his lips. To be honest, these two items were definitely the best in the game right now, far better than his own Bronze Gear, which was dropped by a Level 20 BOSS.

The remaining three Black Iron items were also mage gear: a helmet, a pair of shoes, and a belt, none of which Wu Shaochen could wear, so he didn't even bother checking their attributes.

"I wonder if that girl can handle it," Wu Shaochen thought to himself. If she could equip these items, she'd undoubtedly become the top mage in Jinling City, with gear even better than his.

After some thought, Wu Shaochen sent a message to Su Muxue: "Hey girl, is your pocket deep enough?"

Xue'er: "What do you mean?"

Wu Shaochen sent screenshots of all five items.

Xue'er: "!!!"

Xue'er: "How much for all of them? I want them all!"

Wu Shaochen rubbed his chin as he read the message. This girl was loaded, not even hesitating.

He checked the Auction House records. The last Bronze Gear he auctioned sold for 180,000, but there were no other Bronze Gear sales records. There were several Black Iron Gear records, with prices dropping to around 40,000-60,000.

After some thought, Wu Shaochen replied: "Ice Spirit Staff for 200,000, Flame Bracelet for 180,000, and the Black Iron items at 60,000 each."

This was a very reasonable price, as these items had better attributes than those on the market, so naturally, they were priced higher.

Xue'er: "Deal!"

As soon as she said that, she initiated a remote trade, transferring 560,000 immediately.

He placed the items up for trade, and once completed, he was over 500,000 richer, feeling quite pleased.

He continued to look at the remaining items. The scroll was a [Teleport Scroll], which recorded a coordinate and allowed direct teleportation there, not bad.

The remaining fruit was something he had never seen before...

[Spirit Fruit]: Permanently increases Spirit by 10 points upon consumption.

This was great, an item that permanently increased attributes was definitely valuable. Since his mana was a bit low, he consumed it immediately, raising his Spirit to 52 and his mana to 680 points.

Now, only the Chief remained. Wu Shaochen looked at the house at the top and walked up.

As soon as he approached, a voice echoed in his ears.

"Who allowed you up here? Didn't I say no one can come up without my permission?" The voice came from inside the house.

"Damn, so arrogant?" Wu Shaochen wasn't having it and kicked the door open.

"Who the hell dares to ruin my plans?"

As the words fell, a scarred Middle-aged Man appeared in front of Wu Shaochen, looking furious. He paused for a moment upon seeing Wu Shaochen and asked:

"Who are you? Where did you come from?"

Taking advantage of the conversation, Wu Shaochen quickly cast Insight.

[Chief of Blackwind Stronghold] Silver Tier BOSS

Level: 20

Health: 500,000

Physical Attack: 1300

Physical Defense: 650

Magical Defense: 420

Attack Speed: 100%

Movement Speed: 180

Skill 1: Soul Devour: Swings a dagger at the target, dealing 170% physical damage and converting 30% of the attack damage into health to heal himself. Cooldown Time: 30 seconds.

Skill 2: Heavy Blow: Strikes the target heavily with the dagger's hilt, dealing 160% physical damage and silencing for 3 seconds, during which skills cannot be used. Cooldown Time: 1 minute.

Skill 3: Weakness Break: Swings the dagger at the target in front, dealing weakness damage that ignores defense and is a guaranteed critical hit. Cooldown Time: 3 minutes.

"Sorry to disturb you." Wu Shaochen turned and ran without hesitation. He needed to leave and process this; the guy's attributes were unexpectedly high.

"Where do you think you're going?" The opponent wasn't letting him escape, chasing closely behind. Fortunately, Wu Shaochen was fast enough to escape Blackwind Stronghold, where the pursuit finally stopped.

"Phew... luckily I ran fast, but this guy is really quick. The strategist's speed is only 95, but this guy's 180 movement speed is just absurd."

The Chief of Blackwind Stronghold's attributes were simply monstrous, with an attack reaching 1300 points, 400 points higher than the strategist's, which was terrifying. But there was good news too; this chief was an assassin-type monster, with high single-target burst damage but no ranged or AoE skills like him.

Although such a BOSS was unbeatable in a one-on-one, it was actually easier to deal with. Wu Shaochen didn't need to stand and fight; he could hit and run. His attack speed was two strikes per second, meaning he could either take two normal attacks or one skill attack per poison application, making it much easier than dealing with mage monsters.

Calculating the damage, the highest damage this guy could deal was with his third skill, ignoring defense and guaranteed critical hit, which could take 2600 health in one strike, but it wouldn't kill him instantly.

He wasn't sure if there would be a follow-up normal attack, given the guy's fast attack speed. To be safe, Wu Shaochen took out a [Health Potion] he had been saving, which increased maximum health by 30% for 30 minutes.

After using it, his health reached 3961, nearly four thousand, so even if he took a hit from the third skill and a normal attack, he wouldn't be afraid.

After calculating, Wu Shaochen activated Stealth and returned to Blackwind Stronghold, soon spotting the chief shouting there.

"Hmph, let's see you chase me now, I'll take you down."

Wu Shaochen sneaked closer, but before he could get near, the guy seemed to sense something, staring in Wu Shaochen's direction, ready to defend.

"Damn, so alert? This Stealth skill is getting less reliable." Wu Shaochen complained, then stopped hiding and activated speed, rushing in with two strikes before turning to run.

"So it's you, you ant!"

Wu Shaochen was already moving at high speed, but the chief reacted quickly, countering with a normal attack and then a Weakness Break on Wu Shaochen's back.

"-1034"

"-2600" Critical Hit!

"Damn, that hurts." Fortunately, he had the foresight to drink a Health Potion, or he'd be done for. His guess was right; the guy could indeed follow up with a normal attack and a skill in such a short time. Although it was a melee skill, the skill range was definitely longer than a normal attack.

Wu Shaochen kept running without stopping, the chief chasing behind. Thankfully, he didn't need to stand and fight; who could withstand such damage?

He downed a large Red Potion and, combined with his own recovery, restored his health to full. Turning to look at the pursuing chief, Wu Shaochen remarked, "This is the advantage of speed!"

And so, Wu Shaochen and the Chief of Blackwind Stronghold engaged in a back-and-forth battle, brilliantly executed. For safety, Wu Shaochen would strike twice with speed activated, and once without, then run.

The Chief of Blackwind Stronghold was frustrated to death, this little ant kept bouncing around in front of him, but he couldn't catch up. If only he had a long-range attack, he regretted playing an assassin now.
