"Player detected defeating an elite monster of equal or higher level. Talent effect enhanced, damage increased by 100 points. Current stun duration 1.62 seconds, true damage 205 points."

"Server-wide announcement: Congratulations to player Lord of Hell for defeating the level 6 Black Iron world boss, [Poor Ryan]. As the first player on the server to defeat a Black Iron world boss, you are rewarded with 40 gold coins, 40 free attribute points, 20 skill points, 10 class points, and one bronze treasure chest. This announcement is made to encourage you!"

Just like last time, the announcement was broadcast three times in a row. No matter what the players in the game were doing, they all heard the deafening announcement. All the players were completely still, as if the system had pressed the pause button. Only after the announcement completely ended did emotions such as confusion, shock, bewilderment, and envy begin to erupt violently.

"My God, the game has only been open for a short time, and someone has already defeated the world boss. Is he playing the same game as me?"

"The Lord of Hell? Isn't that the one who was just announced? Why is he so outstanding? Is he the favored son of the Spirit Ruins?"

"I didn't expect the rewards for defeating a world boss to be so generous. I heard that after a world boss dies, it will drop a special item. I wonder what kind of amazing equipment it will get. I'm really envious!"

"Holy crap, a bronze-level treasure chest! I've read the game's rules, and every treasure chest is guaranteed to contain equipment you can use. A bronze-level one, I'm so jealous."

"Everyone else has already taken off, but I'm still wearing two pieces of beginner gear. I don't know when I'll be able to level up."

"Holy crap, 40 free attribute points and 20 skill points! These are amazing items that money can't buy!"

"Could someone please explain what skill points are used for?"

......

Almost every player in the starting area was discussing the contents of this announcement, with the most discussed topics being the various rewards and bronze treasure chests. Those speaking couldn't help but feel envious and jealous, while those remaining silent felt a pang of resentment. One thing was certain: after this wave of rewards, the rise of the Lord of Hell was firmly established, and no one could suppress it.

In the Panda Region's Shanghai Sub-region's No. 001 Newbie Village, the guild leader of the God Destroyer Guild, the archer God Destroyer. Great Demon King, who was directing the monster-hunting, frowned deeply upon hearing the game announcement.

"Give the order to our guild members to immediately find out which newbie village this Lord of Hell is from. Once they find him, notify our people that we must recruit him into our guild at any cost. If he doesn't cooperate, remember to report back to me immediately."

In the Panda Region's Shanghai Division, in Beginner Village 003, the guild leader of the Heavenly Punishment faction, the mage Heavenly Punishment Master, also issued the same instruction to his teammates.

The Starry Night Guild and the three major guilds in the Kyoto district also took the same action.

They had realized the value of the Lord of Hell and would absolutely not allow him to join their rival guild. A fierce power struggle between major guilds, beginning with Jiang Hao's second appearance on television, had once again begun.

Only Shengshi Tianxia, ​​the largest guild in the Shanghai division, was unusually calm, which was rather strange.

Of course, Jiang Hao had no way of knowing any of this; he was currently in a state of excitement. Although he was somewhat dissatisfied with the high-profile nature of the server-wide announcement, the rewards were so generous—doubled from the last time, and the system even gave him an extra bronze treasure chest. Jiang Hao had no further complaints.

As usual, let's check the loot first. Poor Ryan dropped six items at once. Jiang Hao opened his backpack and checked the first piece of equipment.

Gnoll Belt

Quality: Black Iron

belt

Health +200

Intelligence +20

Strength +5

Spirit +5

Requirements for wearing this item: Summoner, Mage, Priest

Holy crap, it really is a world boss drop! Its stats are way better than the White Shell Sea King drop.

Without any hesitation, Jiang Hao immediately equipped himself.

His health increased from 710 to 960, and his mana increased from 870 to 1170. Unless he encountered a particularly powerful boss, he would basically not be instantly killed. This was the sense of security that high health brought. Jiang Hao continued to check his equipment.

Gnoll Leggings

Quality: Black Iron

Leg armor

Health +200

Strength +20

Agility +5

Attack power +10

Requirements for wearing: Warrior, Assassin, Archer

Jiang Hao had assumed this equipment was usable by summoners, and might even form a set with the belt. However, upon seeing the requirements for wearing it, his face darkened. The equipment's attributes and name were far too arbitrary, easily leading to misunderstandings. Then he thought again, for a melee physical boss to drop a belt that a magic-based character could wear, Lingxu was showing some sincerity.

Thinking about it this way, Jiang Hao felt much better.

This piece of equipment is useless; I'll put it on the auction house later. Let's move on to the next piece of equipment.

[Gnoll Pendant]

Quality: Black Iron

Accessories

Health +50

Strength +15

Intelligence +15

Agility +15

Wearing effect: Every 6 physical or magical attacks, there will be one critical hit.

Wearing requirements: None

Holy crap, this is equipment that can drop from a level 5 boss?

Although the equipment was not suitable for Jiang Hao, he still stared wide-eyed in disbelief.

This equipment is incredible. It adds 15 points to each of the three main attributes: Strength, Intelligence, and Agility—almost equivalent to gaining two levels of stats. The final effect will definitely drive the three damage-dealing classes crazy. Which of these classes—Assassin, Archer, or Mage—wouldn't want higher attack power? In the early game, when all players' base stats are low, critical hits are practically nonexistent. But equipping this item is like instantly boosting your critical hit chance to 17%!

Jiang Hao had no doubt that if there were no better bronze-level accessories, this equipment would be the end-game gear for newbies!

If this equipment were put on the auction house, it would fetch at least 100,000!

After hesitating for a long time between improving himself and benefiting the players, Jiang Hao finally succumbed to the lure of money.

It wasn't that he couldn't afford it; selling it would be more cost-effective. Calming his excitement, Jiang Hao began browsing the fourth piece of equipment.

Gnoll Ring

Quality: Black Iron

ring

Health +100

Agility +30

Strength +5

Physical Attack +10

Wearing effect: Increases attack speed by 2%.

Wearing requirements: None

Compared to the previous piece of equipment, this ring's effect is somewhat disappointing. Early-game players seem to be slowed down, whether walking or attacking. Even a 2% increase in attack speed (once per second) has little impact. The only redeeming quality is the significant stat boost it provides. Agility is the primary attribute for assassins and archers, and 30 points of agility is 3 more points gained from leveling up three times. Jiang Hao believes this item will fetch a good price.

This piece of equipment, sell! Immediately look at the fifth piece of equipment; the icon for the fifth piece of equipment is a yellow book.
