Chapter 32 : Distribution
Distribution"System notification: Congratulations to player Cecilia from the China region for leading her team to successfully defeat the E-class world-class boss 'Bloodletting Tree'! The team members are: Cecilia, Dawn's Light, Yuewu, and Testosterone By My Side. As the first team on the server to kill a world-class boss, the system has rewarded all team members with 15 gold coins and 400 reputation points."
"This announcement is hereby made for encouragement."
"System notification..."
Just like before, the system announcement echoed three times in the minds of all online players at this moment, repeating tirelessly as if to make the whole world remember.
At this moment, the entire continent of Kalaoran fell silent. Even those fervently fighting in the arena—players from the Bashan Lingjiu Lin (group fight)—couldn't help but pause for a moment, filled with indescribable envy.
While servers all around the world were bustling with excitement, the national server, which had been quiet for over a week, finally received another announcement of a world-class boss kill.
As everyone had expected, the player achieving this feat once again was Cecilia.
While looking up to her, every player couldn't help but wonder: did Cecilia truly intend to single-handedly eliminate all the world-class bosses in the server?
"Guess I'll be busy for another while."
Dawn's Light glanced at his constantly popping up private messages. Although his tone sounded helpless, there was a smile on his face.
Yuewu felt the same way; she received even more private messages than Dawn's Light, and within a few seconds, her message cap had already exceeded 99.
However, who wouldn't want their fame to grow? The traffic didn't just bring popularity—with proper management, it could be turned into considerable profits.
Among all players on the server, perhaps only Cecilia was the odd one out, not caring for the global announcement.
This was indeed the case. Compared to the world announcement, what Cecilia cared more about was the equipment and materials dropped by the boss this time.
She opened her backpack as though no one else was there. Apart from the obligatory 30 gold coins and gems awarded by the system, her backpack now contained five pieces of purple, sparkling equipment and one piece of epic-grade material that looked like a heart, emitting a steady red glow.
[Set of the Demonic Supplicant], epic rarity, minimum equipment level 15, for the priest class only.
This was a set of cleric's robes with red and white as main colors, radiating a holy aura while also faintly exuding a sense of eerie otherworldliness.
Level 15, and a class-exclusive for priests—the stats were almost perfect. Cecilia's earlier guess was confirmed, and now Gu Yanxi's next set of equipment was settled.
Closing the equipment window, Cecilia then opened the detailed materials window.
[Heart of Bloodthirsty Tree], epic-grade material, can be used in forging epic-level equipment or weapons, greatly increasing their durability and duration of use.
Suppressing her excitement, Cecilia exhaled a long breath.
With the five pieces of high-grade Mithril now in place, the final material needed to craft the secondary weapon was finally in her hands.
Once she successfully crafted the [Magnificent High-grade Vampire Flintlock Pistol], kalaoran would officially enter the era of firearms for the first time in its world of sword and magic—a groundbreaking advancement.
"Sister Ce, which class is the equipment for this time?"
Yuewu, seeing Cecilia's expression, hesitated for a moment before speaking.
There was a bit of personal consideration in her question—among their familiar group, both Cecilia and Dawn's Light had purple epic sets by now, but Yuewu herself still had none. She was thinking that if this set was mage-only, she could pay extra to buy it.
"Level 15, priest equipment,"
Cecilia answered.
"I see... Then will you sell it to Yan-meimei?"
There was a hint of disappointment and some envy in Yuewu's expression.
She regretted that the equipment wasn't mage-exclusive this time and envied the relationship between Cecilia and Blooming Smile.
If only her relationship with Cecilia was that good, she would probably wake up laughing even from her dreams.
"No, I'll give it to her."
Cecilia closed her backpack window with a beaming smile and then asked, "Any other questions?"
Yuewu was slightly stunned, then felt as if some imaginary fruit called 'lemon' was exploding endlessly in her heart. Swallowing, she asked, "Then next time, if there's mage equipment, could you also give—?"
Before she finished, Cecilia interrupted her.
"No, you'll have to pay for it."
"... Alright."
Since the main credit for killing the boss belonged to Cecilia this time, with the others merely joining in for the rewards, everyone tacitly refrained from discussing how to distribute the loot.
With the boss down, Yuewu and Dawn's Light prepared to return to the Main City. Cecilia had initially intended to go as well to forge her secondary weapon but hesitated due to the risk of running into swarms of Wall-eating Rats.
Glancing at the time, it was nearly mealtime. Having lounged around all morning, her sanitary pad probably needed changing too. So, after greeting the others and sending a private message to Gu Yanxi, Cecilia logged out of the game.
Her vision went dark, and her consciousness returned to reality. The first thing Cecilia noticed was a warm embrace.
A few soft strands of hair brushed against the corner of her mouth—smooth and straight, obviously not her own.
There was also a faint, indescribable fragrance.
There was no doubt, even with her helmet still on, Cecilia could clearly tell that the person lying next to her was Gu Yanxi.
What she had thought were just words turned out to be reality.
Feeling a bit helpless, Cecilia carefully removed her helmet, placed it on the nightstand, gently moved Gu Yanxi's arm from her body, and quietly got out of bed, doing everything as gently as possible to avoid disturbing the girl who was still in-game.
Throughout these actions, there was a sticky sensation and a strong sense of foreignness from below, making her inexplicably irritable. If not for the need to eat, Cecilia truly wished she could spend 24 hours a day in-game.
But life still had to go on. With a light sigh, she took a new sanitary pad from an already opened pack on the desk, pushed open the bedroom door, and entered the bedroom. On the coffee table in the living room, there was a supermarket plastic bag filled with various daily necessities.
Apparently, these were bought for her by Gu Yanxi earlier in the morning.
Though Gu Yanxi had bought them, and she wasn't present at the moment, Cecilia didn't feel right about opening it.
After contemplating, Cecilia opened the bathroom door and entered, planning to take a shower before Gu Yanxi woke up.
