Chapter 468: All Members Equipped with SSS-level Weapons
by 不语忧Chapter 468: All Members Equipped with SSS-level Weapons
Seeing the entire amusement park go completely haywire, Shen Que immediately scooped Wu Yue up without a second thought.
Shen Que said, "Honey, hold on tight."
With the Boss going all out, there was no time to hesitate. Wu Yue tightened her arms around Shen Que's neck and buried her face in his chest.
Shen Que held Wu Yue with one arm while drawing Poseidon's Trident with the other, hurling it fiercely at the pirate ship bearing down on them.
The moment the trident sank into the pirate ship, a piercing, animal-like shriek erupted.
Though the pirate ship was made of electromechanical components, what shattered and fell were human bones and flesh. Clearly, through prolonged blood rituals, the pirate ship had awakened its own consciousness.
The instant the pirate ship was destroyed, a golden loot bundle unlike any before appeared.
Wu Yue glanced back, and Shen Que immediately took her over to the loot.
Picking up the loot:
"Congratulations on obtaining the SSS-level healing weapon: Lone Boat (socketable)."
It was a fan with a ship-like curve, crafted entirely from an unknown mysterious metal that reflected an uncanny tech aesthetic.
The moment the fan touched her hand, its cold metal gradually warmed through skin contact.
Wu Yue smirked. The legendary SSS-level weapon was hers now.
She scanned the over thirty amusement park facilities and the massive ferris wheel towering overhead, keeping watch over everyone below.
Wu Yue called out to Jiang Yuhua, "Sis, come here."
Jiang Yuhua knew from Wu Yue's tone that she was about to get some loot.
Even Jiang Yuhua, who had seen plenty of fancy things since childhood, couldn't help but widen her eyes at the sight of Lone Boat in Wu Yue's hand.
If Wu Yue weren't already in Shen Que's arms, she would have hugged Wu Yue and spun around in excitement.
Wu Yue handed Lone Boat to Jiang Yuhua, "You'll have to handle socketing and enhancing with ore yourself. Socketing items are definitely in this instance, but you might have to fight other players for them."
Jiang Yuhua responded immediately, "No problem!"
The others, who had been focused on the amusement park facilities, their eyes went wide as Wu Yue handed the SSS-level weapon to Jiang Yuhua.
Li Yiran exclaimed in disbelief, "She never makes promises she can't keep! She really is giving everyone a Longyuan!"
Shen Qingci, "If Vlad knew what he missed, he might just be so pissed he'd come back to life."
Charles, "How do you all still have time to chat? Look at those goddamn Blaze assholes—they’re already racing ahead of everyone else!"
With that, Charles sprinted toward the Boss without hesitation, afraid that if he slowed down, he wouldn't even get table scraps.
Zhang Ze noticed Sally standing frozen on the side. Charles and Frank, those two jerks, didn’t even bother to watch out for their own teammates. He couldn’t help but urge her:
"What are you standing around for? Go fight the monsters!"
Sally had just turned adult and awakened healing abilities. During the earlier fights, she had been shaking in her boots even while staying in the back.
Now, being told to fight such enormous monsters on her own, she was so terrified her legs shook, unable to move.
Her eyes reddened, her voice as quiet as a mosquito's hum, "I'm scared."
Zhang Ze went to find Wu Yue, "Boss, there's a young one here, first time on her in a dungeon."
Wu Yue was puzzled, "Where are Charles and Frank?"
Zhang Ze, "Those two morons are duking it out."
Wu Yue, "Then you take Sally with you."
Zhang Ze pointed at himself, "Huh? Me?"
Wu Yue nodded, "You can't have unlocked the Flyer skill and still not know how to fight, right?
Take Sally with you to heal you. With your fast hands, just play the kill-stealer, secure the final blows, and snatch the loot drops."
Zhang Ze was instantly tempted, but then... "Boss, this isn't good for team harmony."
Wu Yue shrugged, "Water too clear has no fish; you need some chaos to keep things interesting. Without the desire to win, why even fight?"
Zhang Ze immediately understood the spirit—she wanted him to be a refined, principled instigator, breaking the limits of everyone being too polite to openly compete due to their rose-colored glasses for Wu Yue!!
Zhang Ze told Sally to stick close, "When loot drops, snatch it immediately. You're young and cute, they'll hesitate to target you."
Sally worried, "But what about you?"
Zhang Ze, "I've got high mobility. Once I help you snag a weapon, I'm bailing from the dungeon."
Watching Zhang Ze charge into the fiercest part of the battle with Sally in tow, it wasn't long before shouts were heard:
"What the hell!! Who loot-snatched me?!"
"Someone from Blaze!! You last-hit steal when I'm at my last drop of blood, huh?!"
"KS-er! No shame!!"
As the scene grew increasingly chaotic, those who had been hesitant to steal kills now gritted their teeth in fury, even ready to throw hands. Wu Yue smiled with satisfaction.
She squirmed uncomfortably, annoyed by Shen Que's serious demeanor.
Wu Yue, "Put me down."
Shen Que held Wu Yue in his arms, putting on a stoic face, "It's too risky right now. I have no choice but to do this."
Wu Yue gritted her teeth, "The mobs are about to be cleared, and there aren't enough to go around!"
Originally, with just over 10 people, this final wave of monsters might have been tough—its intensity rivaling ten times the damage of a World Boss across two maps. But now, with more than double the people, over 30, and all at SSS+ combat power, plus perfect party comp and coordination, it was almost too easy. They were even worried the final big Boss wouldn't be enough, that there wouldn't be enough mobs to farm.
Shen Que held Wu Yue without moving until he confirmed everyone had a weapon and all dungeon Bosses were downed. Only then did he finally set her down.
Wu Yue blinked at him. Shen Que looked toward the largest Ferris wheel.
"Wife, I'll go get your weapon."
Not "I'll fight for your weapon," not "I'll help you get your weapon," but "I'll go get your weapon."
Wu Yue smiled contentedly and kissed him, "Thanks, hubby."
Shen Que's body surged with divine lightning, the flashing ice-blue lightning streaking across the sky, fully illuminating the entire Ferris wheel that towered into the clouds.
Everyone withdrew and stepped back, positioning themselves as if casually around Wu Yue, firmly covering all her vital points and protecting her securely at the center of the crowd.
Swiftly dodging the Ferris wheel's attacks, Shen Que leaped with uncanny agility to the very top of the structure, activating his full-body protective skill to nullify all damage.
Golden dragon scales erupted from the corners of his eyes all the way to between his eyebrows, his light green pupils turning into golden vertical slits. Behind him, alongside two starry dragons, an illusory golden dragon emerged.
Poseidon's Trident powered up for its ultimate ability, summoning titanic waves. Instantly, rolling divine lightning merged into the waves, cascading down upon the entire Ferris wheel.
In an instant, the entire Ferris wheel crackled with lightning. Under the relentless strikes of the divine lightning and Shen Que's deadly attacks, trailing golden light as he flashed through the water, it collapsed and scattered across the ground.
Aside from one massive golden loot drop, countless silver loot drops lay scattered everywhere.
Shen Que leaped back to Wu Yue's side in a flash, holding her as he knelt on one knee before the loot drops.
He whispered, "Loot them, baby."
Wu Yue collected the loot drops,
"Congratulations on obtaining the ?????-tier weapon Moon Goddess (with 40 upgrade slots)."
In addition to the one-handed sword Moon Goddess, Wu Yue picked up a silver loot drop,
"Congratulations on obtaining Weapon Slotting Hammer x300."
Every silver loot drop contained 300 slotting hammers. After estimating the number of hammers needed to slot the Moon Goddess, Wu Yue asked Shen Que to get her out of there.
Wu Yue said, "Let's go, straight out of the dungeon instance."
Seeing that Shen Que was about to leave with Wu Yue, Jiang Huaizhi walked over and returned Longyuan to Shen Que.
Jiang Huaizhi said, "Returning this to you. It was meant as an engagement gift for you and your fiancée, and using it felt awkward for me."
Noticing that Jiang Huaizhi already held another jet-black longsword dotted with shimmering starlight, clearly forged from mysterious metal, Shen Que immediately took back Longyuan.
After Jiang Huaizhi left, Wu Yue teased,
"Theirs all look better than yours."
Shen Que carefully inspected Longyuan to ensure it wasn’t damaged and carefully stored it away.
He turned to look intently at Wu Yue,
"What you give me is the best."
Wu Yue couldn’t help but laugh. "Then next time, I'll find you something even better, better than everyone else’s."
With no one around, Shen Que couldn't help but kiss her.
"I love you, wife."
To him, the love Wu Yue gave him was more precious than any treasure in the world.
As long as he could have Wu Yue’s love, he would do anything without hesitation.
