If a special quest was involved, certain conditions would have to be met to open the chest . Furthermore, whatever was contained inside would likely be related to the quest .
Nie Yan was about to give up, when he recalled the Mana Key in his bag . He wondered if it could open the chest .
Nie Yan took out the Mana Key and aligned it with the keyhole of the lock on the chest . The key emitted a brilliant light and changed shape to fit the lock .
Nie Yan inserted the Mana Key inside .
Nie Yan’s mind trembled . Perhaps the Mana Key really could open this chest!
About 30 seconds later, a notification popped up .
The Mana Key actually worked! Nie Yan was elated . This was a Sub Legendary-grade chest! With how high level the lock was, the items inside definitely wouldn’t be ordinary!
“I hope it’s not a quest item . . . ” Nie Yan muttered .
With a click, the chest popped open . Nie Yan was greeted by a blast of hot air which nearly sent him flying .
Nie Yan stabilized himself . A bright red light radiated out from inside the chest as a domineering aura swept over him . He rummaged around inside and fished out a large crimson red egg shrouded in scorching hot flames . He could feel a strong heartbeat pulsing through his hand . There was a living creature inside .
−320 −320 −320 . . .
Will you accept the “Resurrection of the Blazing Phoenix” quest?
Nie Yan’s eyes widened in shock . There was a Phoenix inside this egg!
Nie Yan couldn’t help but be moved . He had obtained another flying mount .
“It’s a pet egg . Here, you can have it,” Nie Yan said . The difficulty of the Resurrection of the Blazing Phoenix quest probably wasn’t low . A player with a certain amount of skill was required to clear it . Not to mention things like pet eggs had to stay by their owner’s side .
Nie Yan had never heard of anyone obtaining a Phoenix . This map had already been opened up at Level 80–90 . It seemed this Sub legendary-grade chest was added only after the release of flying mounts .
Nie Yan instantly thought of something . Since he had found this egg here, that meant there were definitely more in other places . The proliferation of flying mounts was inevitable .
“You don’t want it?” Xie Yao asked .
“I already have the Darkwing Dragon . Each player can only have a single flying mount,” Nie Yan explained . This Blazing Phoenix Egg couldn’t be allowed to go to waste .
“Oh, alright . I’ll take it then . ” Xie Yao nodded . When she took the egg from Nie Yan, she started taking 160 fire damage every second . She quickly accepted the Resurrection of the Blazing Phoenix quest . After which the scorching hot flames around the egg no longer harmed her .
“After I accepted the quest, my Fire Resistance increased by 80!” Xie Yao exclaimed . Her current Fire Resistance was over 160 . If she drank an Advanced Fire Resistance Potion, it would almost be 200! This was quite frightening at her current level . Even if she were to be directly hit by a Flame Giant’s fire magic, she would probably only take around 20% damage .
The Phoenix was a creature of fire!
Nie Yan continued rummaging through the chest and pulled out a silver-white necklace . In contrast to the scorching hot heat from the chest, he felt a refreshing, cool, and soothing sensation from the necklace .
Nie Yan’s heart trembled . This necklace definitely wasn’t ordinary!
After taking out the necklace, the chest transformed into flames and dissipated into nothing .
Nie Yan inspected the necklace .
Necklace of Serenity (Sub Legendary): Special Item
Properties: Grants the user immunity to Rank 8 or lower charm, fear, and other mind related status debuffs .
Restrictions: Can only be equipped by players with less than 1,500 Spirit .
“How high is your Spirit stat?” Nie Yan turned to Xie Yao and asked . This was his first time encountering a piece of equipment with this kind of requirement . Only those with low Spirit could equip this necklace .
When a player’s Spirit was below the threshold, the spirit imprint on the necklace would have an effect . However, if the player’s Spirit was over the threshold, the necklace would have no effect .
The Necklace of Serenity was likely related to the Resurrection of the Blazing Phoenix quest . If Xie Yao could use it, he would give it to her .
“It’s over 2,300, why?” Xie Yao replied .
“Wow, that’s pretty high,” Nie Yan sucked in a cold breath of air . It would be impressive for ordinary players to have 1,200 Spirit at Xie Yao’s level . Having 2,300 was practically unheard of . With such high Spirit, even if she didn’t wear the Necklace of Serenity, she would still have a high chance of resisting any Rank 8 or lower mind related status debuffs .
“All three pieces of Legendary-grade equipment I’m wearing increase Spirit,” Xie Yao explained . It was impossible for her Spirit stat not to be high .
“So it’s like that . ” Only then did Nie Yan recall the Spirit bonus of the Saintess Christiana Set was excellent, far superior to other similar sets .
Since Xie Yao couldn’t equip it, Nie Yan decided to keep the Necklace of Serenity for himself . This necklace was fairly useful to him, especially as a melee class that tended to have fairly low Spirit . Mind Magic was the main method casters used to deal with melee classes .
The harvest this time around was pretty good, in particular the Phoenix Egg in Xie Yao’s hands . If she could hatch it, Asskickers United would have another flying mount .
“Let’s keep farming Flame Giants,” Nie yan said .
“Mhm . ”
The two continued farming Flame Giants to level up . Grinding like this, their contribution was rising rapidly . In a day or two, Xie Yao would probably have enough contribution to buy a property in the Hilton Stronghold .
They had to snag as many properties as possible, especially the ones that were prime real estate . In the future, these properties would be golden geese!
Nie Yan continued aggroing over Flame Giants . By taking advantage of the terrain, killing the Flame Giants was fairly easily, especially now that Xie Yao’s Fire Resistance had greatly increased . She no longer feared their magic attacks .
After five hours, Nie Yan lit up with a brilliant light . He had reached Level 94 . He estimated he would rise halfway to Level 95 when he accepted the subjugation quest reward from the Hilton Stronghold .
“What’s your contribution at?” Nie Yan asked . They had just killed another Flame Giant . Even within the darkness of the narrow tunnel Xie Yao’s eyes resembled black pearls flickering with a captivating light . As he looked at her from the side, he could see her curvaceous and enchanting figure .
“Let me check . ” Sensing Nie Yan’s gaze, Xie Yao felt a bit flustered . “About 20,000 . ”
Xie Yao was quickly gaining merit points . It took five or more 20-man teams to safely take down a single demon beast . After killing one, the amount of contribution earned was evenly divided, so the amount each individual received wasn’t much . Meanwhile, the contribution Nie Yan and Xie Yao received was only divided between the two of them .
The amount of contribution Nie Yan and Xie Yao received for killing a Flame Giant was 50 times that of what each player in an expedition team received after killing a demon beast . Add this to the fact their mobbing speed wasn’t too bad, and they were earning contribution at a rocket-like pace .
“I estimate you’ll be able to buy your first property in the Hilton Stronghold by tomorrow,” Nie Yan said . Each property acquired represented another significant source of income .
“I’ll go pick up the loot dropped by the Flame Giant,” Xie Yao said . She had to walk past Nie Yan . In this narrow tunnel where even turning around was incredibly cumbersome, making intimate body contact was inevitable .
A faint, sweet smell wafted into Nie Yan’s nose . Seeing the delicate and charming Xie Yao brush against him, he felt a wave of warmth in his heart . He could feel her supple skin through the thin fabric of her robe .
This was the virtual world, not reality . In this place, Xie Yao in her light blue robe possessed a type of captivating, dream-like beauty .
Nie Yan reached out and grabbed Xie Yao . His mind flashed with the scene of their time in the secret underground chamber . He wondered if that place was still the same as back then .
In the narrow tunnel, Xie Yao could hear Nie Yan’s heavy breathing . Her mind instantly turned chaotic . He had gradually taken a more and more important place in her heart . The two had accepted each other’s feelings . However, every time they became intimate, she would always become uncontrollably flustered .
Xie Yao’s beautiful face was inches from Nie Yan’s . Her erratic breathing revealed the nervousness in her heart .
“Nie Yan…” Xie Yao called out in a helpless tone . She attempted to push him away to prevent herself from being pulled into his embrace . However, the warmth of his body caused her to lose all strength .
Nie Yan mischievously reached his hand up under Xie Yao’s robe . Through the soft and smooth, silk-like fabric… he found a pleasant surprise . Since her bosom was well developed and her bra nothing more than a thin piece of cloth, he felt a mellow and plump sensation in his hand .
In this life, this was Nie Yan’s first time being so intimate with Xie Yao inside the game . He felt a strange feeling well up in his heart . Right now, the person standing in front of him was Xie Yao and also Yao Yao . The two were one and the same, yet they shared different stories with him .
