Chapter 52 - Bathing Here? You've Got Some Nerve
Luo Badao: All players above level 10 in this zone, gather at my location. Coordinates XXX.
"Damn, Brother Badao is really domineering. Looks like he's about to make a move! Zhou Han is screwed!"
"Brother Badao, I'll be there in ten minutes! I just got a Gold-tier piece of equipment, perfect timing to use it!"
"Coming, coming. Let's go all out and hunt Zhou Han. If you provoke Zone 123, you'll pay a heavy price."
"Brother Badao leads the charge, leaving not even grass behind. Our Zone 123 will rise—let's see who dares act blind again in the future."
...
At the gathering point, Luo Badao stood with a large blade on his back, hands behind him, looking imposing.
His eyes were full of confidence and high spirits.
"Very good. All the strong ones are here. Zhou Han, even if you grow wings today, you won't escape."
Aside from Luo Badao, six others had arrived, all above level 10 and capable of freely entering and leaving the Undead Canyon.
They were already the strongest combat force in Zone 123.
They were certain of success in this operation, smiles of excitement on their faces.
"Let's go. We only have one hour—we need to hurry."
Luo Badao had already used a Coordinate Tracking Card to locate Zhou Han's position.
He immediately took the lead and strode forward.
The others followed behind him, filled with killing intent.
...
At this moment, Zhou Han had no idea he was being targeted.
He was still counting his spoils.
From Luo Da's corpse, he had obtained two Silver-tier pieces of equipment and a card.
A bit disappointing—the opponent's stealth skill hadn't dropped.
Zhou Han didn't even bother to look at the Silver equipment.
Instead, he began examining the card.
[Mystic Realm Pass]: With this pass, a single player can enter a Mystic Realm once. After clearing it, there is a 30% chance to drop Platinum-tier equipment.
After reading it, Zhou Han was a bit surprised.
He didn't expect it to be a pass.
It allowed entry into a Mystic Realm to obtain equipment.
Good stuff!
And it was for Platinum-tier equipment.
At this stage, 90% of players didn't even have Gold-tier gear, let alone Platinum.
Although the 30% drop rate wasn't high, he had enhancement.
That wasn't a problem.
Enhance once.
The drop rate became 50%.
Enhance twice.
Three times.
Since this kind of item didn't have a defined quality tier, he didn't know the enhancement limit.
So he enhanced it one time after another.
[You have successfully enhanced 6 times. The item has reached its limit.]
From the system prompt, he was surprised to find it could be enhanced six times.
Soon, the effects were displayed. After reading them, Zhou Han was overjoyed.
[Mystic Realm Pass +6]: With this pass, a four-person team can enter a Mystic Realm once. After clearing it, there is a 90% chance to drop Star-tier (and above) equipment.
After six enhancements, the effects had undergone a complete transformation.
First, it changed from single-player entry to a four-person team.
At that point, if Han Qinxue and her sister dropped top-tier gear, wouldn't it all belong to him?
With a 90% drop rate, unless you were unbelievably unlucky, you'd definitely get something.
It could drop Star-tier or higher equipment.
After Platinum comes Diamond, and then Star—an upgrade of two tiers.
He might even get King-tier equipment.
That would be insane.
King-tier equipment can be enhanced nine times.
No need to even say how powerful that would be.
Thinking of this, Zhou Han felt a surge of excitement.
He had really picked up a treasure. It felt amazing.
"System, where is the Mystic Realm located?"
Zhou Han opened the map but couldn't find any entrance to a Mystic Realm.
That's why he asked.
"The Mystic Realm will open on the fifth day. Please wait patiently."
Damn!
It only opens on the fifth day.
That means the day after tomorrow.
No wonder that guy hadn't used the pass—it wasn't open yet.
Only after killing him did Zhou Han get it.
Anyway, it was just a two-day wait. Zhou Han didn't mind.
He took out the Platinum equipment he had just obtained and examined it.
He found it was an accessory, and its attributes were quite good.
Zhou Han directly enhanced it six times. He had plenty of enhancement points now, so he wasn't worried about running out.
He opened the stats and took a look.
[Moonlight Earrings +6]
Tier: Platinum
Attributes: Attack +1500, Defense +300
Effect 1: Increases all attribute resistance by 30%.
Effect 2: Critical hit rate increased by 50%.
Effect 3: Blessed by gentle moonlight. All allied units within 10 meters recover 1% HP per second.
Description: Balanced offense and defense, with support capabilities—a versatile accessory.
"As expected of a versatile item. It has attack, defense, crit, and even heals teammates."
After reading the stats, Zhou Han couldn't help but sigh in admiration.
However, accessories were limited to one equipped at a time.
If he wanted to equip multiple accessories, he'd need special items to unlock more slots.
Zhou Han didn't have any right now.
He could only replace the True Spirit Ring.
After putting on the earrings, the stats were indeed excellent.
But Zhou Han felt a bit uncomfortable.
"This damn thing makes me look like some effeminate pretty boy. Totally not fitting my tough guy image."
The stats were too good, though. He had no choice.
He'd replace it when he got something better.
Zhou Han reluctantly let go of his resistance.
After finishing sorting everything out,
he prepared to package the Gold-tier equipment and hand it to Han Qinxue to list for sale.
"Hm? Where did they go? Where did they run off to?"
He hadn't paid attention to their whereabouts during the battle and while sorting the loot.
Zhou Han walked over curiously, passing through the forest.
Then he heard the cheerful voices of the two women coming from a clear river.
Seeing this scene, Zhou Han was speechless.
"These women… I'm seriously impressed. Bathing in a place like this!"
He knew the two had sweated a lot in the Fire Cloud Mountain Range and felt sticky all over.
It was understandable that they wanted to wash up.
But this was the Divine Demon Continent!
Anything dangerous could happen. Bathing in the wilderness—they really had guts.
Fortunately, there were no magical beasts in the river, so no accidents occurred.
Moreover, the area was hidden by a dense forest, making it hard to spot.
The two beauties swam in the river, completely naked.
The clear water revealed every detail of their bodies.
"Easy on the eyes… This doesn't count as peeping, right? I'm openly looking."
Zhou Han justified himself in his mind.
Enjoying the sight of the two women swimming.
But the good moment didn't last long.
Sitting atop a large tree, Zhou Han noticed seven people approaching from the distance.
Each of them carried a fierce aura—it was obvious they came with ill intent.
It even seemed like they knew his location.
Zhou Han felt a bit puzzled, but he wasn't panicked.
"Hey, you two, hurry it up. Someone's coming. Get dressed quickly."
He didn't want Han Xiangning and the others to be seen like this.
So he didn't care about exposing himself and directly urged them.
"Ah! Zhou Han, y-you… when did you get here?"
"Turn around! How are we supposed to get out like this if you're watching?!"
The sisters panicked immediately, their faces flushed with embarrassment and anger.
They had been seen by Zhou Han again.
They didn't expect him to finish clearing so many monsters so quickly.
