Chapter 72 - Plundering Ou Huang, Light Ring
This size wasn't small—at a glance, at least 36D.
"No, this is a misunderstanding! You have to listen to my explanation! That wasn't my intention at all."
Seeing her charge over to kill him, Zhou Han suddenly felt a bit guilty and hurriedly spoke up.
But Wan Yuhe wasn't willing to listen at all.
With sword in hand, she launched into a frenzy of slashes.
However, she was already heavily injured to begin with,
so this level of attack posed no threat to Zhou Han at all.
But if she kept making a scene like this,
it definitely wouldn't look good.
Making up his mind, he directly pulled Wan Yuhe into an embrace.
"Can you stop messing around? So many people are watching!"
Hearing that, she snapped out of it and gradually calmed down,
realizing the awkward situation they were in.
"If others misunderstand my relationship with a bad woman like you, it'll damage my reputation!"
As soon as Zhou Han added that, Wan Yuhe started struggling again.
"This young lady has top-tier looks, talent, and family background in every aspect—how could you possibly feel like you're at a loss?"
She was filled with indignation, but now wasn't the time to think about that.
She snatched her inner shirt back,
and ran off while grinding her teeth in anger.
The whole incident had only lasted one or two minutes.
But in that short time, it left all the onlookers stunned.
Even though nothing was said outright, these guys had sharp eyes.
They immediately picked up on the clues,
and their expressions revealed knowing smiles that all men understood.
"Brother Han, that was awesome! Teach me your secret technique!"
"If I had Brother Han's moves and skills, just thinking about it feels amazing."
"Brother Han—no, Master! Are you taking disciples? I'll offer you 10,000 soul crystals every month!"
"As expected of the number one prodigy, even this kind of technique is top-tier."
"Everyone stand up and send off Brother Han!"
…
The crowd looked at Zhou Han with burning admiration.
Each one eager to become his disciple, offering generous conditions.
"Too bad I really don't know how! Otherwise, taking in some disciples and freeloading some soul crystals would be pretty sweet."
Zhou Han thought to himself, shaking his head,
and walked straight out of the Sword God Hall.
It was already past ten at night.
The moon was bright, the stars sparse, and crows flew south.
There were very few people left on the streets of Azure Thunder City.
When he returned to the inn, the Han sisters were already asleep.
Zhou Han had been busy all day. As soon as he lay down on the bed, he quickly fell asleep.
Perhaps due to exhaustion, Zhou Han didn't wake up until ten in the morning.
The sisters had already gone out to level up, leaving behind a loving breakfast on the table,
which warmed Zhou Han's heart.
[Server Announcement: Day 4 of the Divine Demon Continent. In Zone 666, a total of 43,622 players have died, and 56,378 players remain.]
"Hm? So many people have already died? There aren't even 60,000 players left now."
"It really is quite brutal. When grinding monsters outside the city, anything can happen."
"I feel like the servers might merge soon. With so few people left, it's practically a ghost server."
"Probably soon. The death counts in each zone are about the same."
Hearing the announcement, the chat also started discussing it.
But the overall mood was still quite heavy,
after all, when one rabbit dies, others feel sorrow—no one knows if they'll be next.
Zhou Han was also somewhat surprised when he heard this announcement.
He already had enough strength,
so he hadn't really felt any danger.
But this data clearly showed that for other players,
survival was still a huge challenge.
Shaking his head, Zhou Han stopped thinking about it.
While eating breakfast, he checked the level rankings.
[Level Rankings]
1. Zhou Han: Level 25 (1.6%)
2. Han Xiangning: Level 19 (16.9%)
3. Han Qinxue: Level 19 (13.8%)
4. Ou Huang: Level 14 (21.3%)
5. Gou Tuo: Level 14 (16.2%)
6. Mei Aoxue: Level 13 (95.5%)
7. Jia Feiqiu: Level 13 (36.4%)
8. Lin Fan: Level 13 (23.3%)
…
Zhou Han was still far ahead, firmly holding the number one spot.
Meanwhile, the Han sisters, relying on the 5x experience buff,
had widened the gap with Ou Huang and the others, with nearly a five-level difference.
The rest of the top ten rankings hadn't changed much.
After finishing breakfast, Zhou Han sorted out what he needed to do today.
First: Go to Thunder Ruins and kill the Nether Evil Swordsman to complete the awakening task.
Second: Report to the Demon Suppression Division. After all, he passed the selection as the champion,
so there should be related missions or storylines waiting for him.
Third: Today is already the fourth day in the Divine Demon Continent. On the fifth day, secret realms will open.
Zhou Han had a Secret Realm Pass +6, and he was still missing a fourth teammate.
He decided to use that slot to exchange for resources.
After all, this was a secret realm that could drop Star-tier equipment or even King-tier gear,
so it could be sold for a high price.
The only concern was whether players could afford it.
"When the time comes, I'll see if I can find a wealthy NPC to sell this slot to."
Zhou Han thought to himself.
Fourth: Plunder Ou Huang's luck and see if he could obtain that good fortune,
so he could use the Dragon Blood Pill +9.
This could be done right now.
Without hesitation, Zhou Han immediately took action.
"Plunder Ou Huang's luck!"
[You used a plunder attempt. Plunder failed!]
Not discouraged by the first failure, Zhou Han continued.
[You used a plunder attempt. Plunder failed!]
[You used a plunder attempt. Plunder failed!]
Three consecutive failures left Zhou Han speechless.
It seemed his luck today was pretty bad.
"Could the success rate of plundering be related to distance?"
Zhou Han speculated,
but the system did not provide any answer regarding this.
"There's another possibility—Ou Huang's own luck might increase the failure rate of plundering."
Zhou Han analyzed the reason for the failure.
If that were the case, it would be quite troublesome.
But with such a small sample size, he couldn't reach a definite conclusion.
Now that he had no attempts left, there was no way to verify it today.
"Next time, I'll try plundering face-to-face and see how the success rate is!"
As for the Dragon Blood Pill, he would have to wait a few more days before using it.
After that, Zhou Han didn't feel discouraged.
He opened a free clay jar.
[You obtained the Light Ring. Would you like to view its attributes?]
Unexpectedly, he got a drop—but he didn't know its quality yet.
Zhou Han quickly checked.
[Light Ring]
Quality: Diamond-tier
Attributes: Attack +500, Agility +20
Effect: In combat, increases agility by 20%, and reduces the agility of the target you're facing by 20%.
Description: Light as the wind, always by your side.
"Damn! Not bad at all—Diamond-tier!"
Sure enough, luck was conserved. After failing three plunders in a row,
he directly got a Diamond-tier accessory.
Zhou Han had successfully played the role of a lucky leech for once.
His mood immediately brightened.
"Enhance it seven times."
Zhou Han said directly.
He was quite looking forward to the effect after enhancement,
since this ring mainly boosted agility.
