BXBX NOVEL Chapter 232 - Treasured Place
“I… Although my AD is not as high as yours but I can pull creeps for you.”
Si Yejing said unconfidently. As a master ranked No. 2 on the Leaderboard and Celebrity List of the Huaxia District, Night Cooer now became an idler.
“Emm?”
Suddenly, Xiao Feng looked forward and found that an orc was wandering around.
“Player? No, it is not an NPC. Is it a creep?” Si Yejing looked to the direction and immediately screamed in surprise.
The orc looked like an NPC, who seemed to be a soldier of the Tigers. Yet, the name was yellow, which represented a neutral figure.
The color of health bar was an important factor to differentiate ally from enemy. Green indicated an ally while red indicated an enemy. Apart from that, there was still the color of grey. It only showed up among the players, representing those who killed in the wild maliciously. The grey color was identified by the sin level.
The yellow health bar that generally stood for neutrality only emerged among those unaggressive animal creeps. However, the creeps of such a color showed up now, which made Xiao Feng quite surprised.
“Are the creeps of this map all neutral creeps? Let’s have a try?”
Si Yejing thought for a while and itched for a try.
“Go ahead.”
Xiao Feng had no other ways but to have a try. He could have asked Little Fox about the situation of this hidden map, but he still gave up the thought.
“Okay. I’m going.”
Si Yejing went forward by stealth. Assassin had a skill of assaulting from the back. The AD of assaulting from the back was rather high and generally, the assassin’s DPS was also thrown like this–sneaking towards the back of the target. In this way, it could not only get to the best DPS position but also go near the target.
However, it was not necessary at the moment, because the orc was a neutral unit and wouldn’t attack Si Yejing proactively. It was okay for her to walk behind its back. Obviously, Si Yejing was accustomed to this action.
“Be careful. They are the level-30 elite creeps.”
Xiao Feng gave her a reminder. His advanced scouting could detect the property of the creeps 15 levels higher or below, so he was able to recognize the orc.

Introduction: An orc warrior lost in the Jungle of Trapped Beast.
The level of the orc warrior was 30 and its type was elite, but Xiao Feng didn’t pay attention to that. In light of his and Si Yejing’s capability, the creeps were not threatening to them regardless of the levels of the creeps.
It was at most a matter of high defense and time consuming. Hence, Xiao Feng still killed the buff for Si Yejing.
“-288!”
With the buff effect of Xiao Feng, Si Yejing’s attack power was over 300. Plus the additional attack effect of assaulting from the back, she diminished the orc warrior’s health point by 5% or so, which was rather terrifying.
As to ordinary players, such as the players of the Wolf Guild, in terms of the defense of the orc warrior, it would be great if they could break through the defense. Even if the squad included a priest, the AD was at most 20 or 30 points. It would take them a lot of time to handle a creep.
Moreover, the players at the front end had to take the AD and take the pot for regen. Even an ordinary creep was a tough issue for them.
As to Xiao Feng and Si Yejing, the efficiency brought by the attack had greatly exceeded the level of ordinary players. Even the level-30 elite creeps were a piece of cake for them two.
However, they were top players of the Huaxia District anyway. It would be weird if they were not that efficient.
The name of the lost orc warrior immediately became red at once and it started to fight back, but it didn’t hold out for long. It had been slain by Si Yejing before the 30-second cooldown time of Xiao Feng’s buff effect was up.
“No matter how many times I have taken the healing effect, I must sigh about your healing ability. If I were doing this alone, it would take me at least three minutes to kill the creep. Yet, it only took me less than 30 seconds to fix it.”
Si Yejing took back the dagger and sighed. It was not that she was crowing about him but that Xiao Feng’s healing ability was stunningly remarkable. Without his buff, her own attack power was only over 100 points. Although she could break through the defense, the attack power was only more or less 20 points. If she wanted to take down the orc warrior, she must need to spend some efforts and time.
“See if anything drops.”
Xiao Feng didn’t join the fight or approach. He let Si Yejing take care of the creep herself, so he didn’t see whether anything dropped after the orc warrior was killed.
“Emm? Something dropped! It is a skill book!”
Instantly, Si Yejing shouted in surprise and picked up a white skill book from near the corpse of the orc warrior.
Blow
Type: Ordinary
Effect: Cause 120% of the ATN to the single target. For one level upgraded, the AD will increase by 30%.
Cooldown Time: 10 seconds

“It seems that skill books will drop by killing this kind of creep. Let’s go. Keep searching.”
Xiao Feng said with excitement. It was a map exclusively for skill books. What a treasured place!
“Promise me. All the skill books that you don’t want must be given to me. I am really poor. I cannot even afford the meals for this month. If you must compete for the skill books with me, I will go to your home for meals.”
Si Yejing put the skill book of Blow into her bag. She started to complain about her poverty and threatened him as if she were afraid that Xiao Feng might take it from her.
Even an entry-level skill book could be sold for several hundred dollars. It was a considerable income.
Xiao Feng left her alone. It was a skill book for warriors anyway, which was useless for him. Yet, he still couldn’t help refuting her.
“The golden coins earned by killing some creeps and passing the instance zones must be enough for you.”
“Do you think that everyone else is an unspecialized character like you? When I acted with the guild, all the things that drop out of the creeps belong to the guild, whether it is for the instance zone or teaming up to gain levels. If I want the equipment and skill books, I must exchange with the merits for the guild.” Si Yejing rolled her eyes. What she just said was actually the reason why she acted solo and teamed up with Xiao Feng.
“Then why did you join the guild?”
Xiao Feng gave her an expression that indicated that Si Yejing must reap the fruits of her own actions. The bigger the guild was, the stricter the rules would be. Therefore, many top players and masters chose the role of the unspecialized character.
“I must help my cousin. She treats me so well. Most of my equipment is bought by her. Besides, she also lends me money to buy clothes and cosmetics.” Speaking of Liu Qiangwei, Si Yejing sounded rather respectful for her. Obviously, Liu Qiangwei had high prestige in her mind.
“You have the money to buy clothes and cosmetics but you can’t afford a meal?”
“I won’t die for missing two meals and can also keep fit. Yet, I will die for sure if I don’t buy clothes and cosmetics.”
“Good for you!”
“By the way, can I have dinner at your home? If I can, I will save the lunch for that.”
“Get lost!”
“You are so stingy and not manly at all. Do you know how many boys of Xia University want to treat me to dinner? I am offering you the chance and you don’t take it. Otaku! You deserve to be single.”
“Get lost!”
They kept quarreling with each other while looking for creeps in the Jungle of Trapped Beast. Meanwhile, the auction held in the main building of the Treasure Pavilion in the Tianlong City also began.
“This is the first auction item for today–Space Stone. The floor price for ten Space Stones is 1,000 golden coins and the price increase must be more than 10 coins. Now the auction gets started.”
After a brief opening, the auction chaired by Qian Duoduo also started.
“Space Stone? What is that? Rare material?”
“I don’t know. I’ve never heard of it.”
“It seems to be used for opening the backpack space. I’ve heard of it from an NPC in a quest.”
As the first auction item was displayed, all the players at the site were all surprised. Many of them didn’t know what the Space Stone was for and felt confused about the property of the Space Stone displayed on the platform.
However, they knew one thing, that was, all the things qualified to show up in the auction in the main building of the Treasure Pavilion must be valuable.
“What! It is Space Stone! Are you sure of it?”
Only the representatives of various guilds all shouted in surprise.
As to this auction, apart from the artifact as the last and best item, Qian Duoduo didn’t publicize any information of other items on the forum, so most of the players had no idea what the other items were.
Once the Space Stone showed up, it aroused a sensation among the various guilds.
Moreover, the sensation was only within the big guilds, for the small guilds didn’t know the use of Space Stone.
Only those big guilds that had built up the encampment, for the guild knew the meaning and value of the Space Stone.
The guild encampment was its foundation. It was not big upon establishment, but under the joint efforts of the members in the whole guild, it was aimed to become a main city.
However, if they wanted to develop and upgrade the guild encampment, construction of many facilities would be indispensable, such as the guild warehouse, Transmission Formation of the guild, etc.
And the Space Stone was the core material to build up the Transmission Formation of the guild. This was only known by those big guilds that had established the guild encampment or were working on constructing the encampment. Ordinary players and small guilds were not qualified to know about that.
The guild’s Transmission Formation was absolutely one of the most important facilities in an encampment. Now the Transmission Formation of all the guild encampments, including those of Midsummer and Dynasty, were borrowed from the system. The rent was quite expensive. Every time the guild members used the Transmission Formation, the guild must pay for the transmission fee to the system, which was a considerable expense. It was not that they didn’t want to establish the Transmission Formation of their own guild but that they lacked the core material. The core material was the very Space Stone!
