“What do you want to do to me?” The Ape King looked at Wang Yu in shock.
“Eh? I thought you’re an intelligent NPC? You cannot even understand something so simple?” Crotch Lord spoke in a stern and sarcastic tone. “It is only right that we kill you today. Hand over any good items you have otherwise we will take it forcefully from you and I guarantee it wouldn’t feel good.”
The intelligence of an intelligence was definitely not fake even if the Ape King was merely a monkey. He knew that Wang Yu and co. were clearly trying to rip items off him.
The Ape King replied in a pitiful tone, “In such a harmonious society, why is there a need for all these violence and killings?”
“F*ck!” Everyone cursed in unison at the script given to the Ape King by the designers of the game. This crazy monkey was just throwing boulders for fun earlier. Since when was this monkey harmonious?
“Stop spouting all these nonsense! Let’s end this already.” Wang Yu tucked in the rope and acted as though he was going to take out a weapon.
“I have, I have, I have…” The Ape King hurriedly took out a book, “This skill book is meant for Pugilist so I hope you will like it.”
“Dipper Fist” A rare skill which could turn any weapons on hand into a grudge to increase power and range of attacks. Suitable job: Pugilist.
Pugilists were known for their short arms and this skill book could actually increase the range of attack of a Pugilist. Even if it didn’t have the increase in power of an attack, it was still considered a peak grade skill book.
However, an intelligent BOSS would certainly have more than just this item.
After receiving the “Dipper Fist” skill book, he replied, “The skill book is really decent but you really made me look very pitiful earlier with your rocks.”
Wang Yu was also considered a rather experienced and knowledgeable player now. Even God grade BOSS Zeus wasn’t that difficult for Wang Yu to deal with. However, Wang Yu was utterly humiliated by this rock throwing monkey today.
“And there is us too. My shield has been broken from defending all the rocks you threw at us. Hurry up and hand me a new shield. It doesn’t have to be extremely good. I’ll force myself to accept an ancient or legendary grade shield but if you don’t have, an Obsidian grade one is good enough too.” Crotch Lord saw the opportunity and rubbed in.
Hearing Crotch Lord’s words, the Ape King almost cried. Wang Yu was merely extortion and blackmailing him while Crotch Lord was basically trying to take everything from him…
Ancient or legendary grade? The Ape King didn’t have any of such items but even if he had, he would never hand it over. Moreover, such high-end item was usually linked to a huge quest. What if someone came to take on the quest? The system’s God might not even let the Ape King come back to life ever again.
As compared to this consequence, the Ape King would rather die once. Anyway, he could get used to dying in a dungeon quest.
“I don’t have because I am only a monkey. I have no equipment.” The Ape King replied with a disdainful tone and ugly face.
Crotch Lord felt extremely pathetic as he was mocked by a monkey. Wang Yu advised, “Let’s not make things difficult for him anymore. He attacked us with rocks so how could he have any equipment? Since he got nothing else good for us, let’s kill him.”
“Hey, you’re not keeping to your word. I’ve already given you the skill book.” The Ape King called out furiously.
“There are three of us here and you only gave us one skill book. How are we supposed to split this? Let me tell you, I have someone in my team who is a particularly good eater. Do you know how a monkey’s brain taste like?” Wang Yu asked.
“I don’t know!!!!!!” The Ape King’s expression turned extremely ugly when he heard these words.
Crotch Lord chuckled as he added fuel to the fire, “By looping your neck, we will crack your head open while you’re still alive, pour hot oil to fry your brain…”
“Ahhhh!!!”
The Ape King was so terrified that his hair started standing. After screaming, he took out two more books.
“These are all I have…Please just end my life quickly as long as you don’t eat me.”
He was no longer pleading for his life. Instead, he was pleading for a quick death. This showed how badly frightened this monkey truly was.
Initially, the Ape King thought only beasts could eat humans. Who knew that humans can also eat beast? It was as just like how it was normal for humans to eat lamb but how scary would it be if goats started eating humans? Moreover, they described such a terrifying and brutal method to cook… Even so, Wang Yu doubted any other BOSS would be this terrified that he would surrender under such humiliating terms.
“High-level Horsemanship.” Horsemanship skill which allows one to tame monsters to ride. There is a fixed probability that one can tame a flying monster to ride. Job Requirement: Applicable to all.
“Force Takeover” Formation magic skill. A large-scale increase in speed and power of every position in a squad. Job Requirement: Applicable to all.
Looking at these two skill books, Crotch Lord’s eyeballs almost flew out.
Horsemanship skill and formation skill.
Rumours spread that mounting skill would only be available after level 40. However, almost every gamer knew that even with the skill to mount, it would be useless without the horsemanship skill.
Moreover, a horsemanship skill was extremely rare throughout any stages of the game. A low-level horsemanship skill was already quite a rare sight, let alone an invaluable high-level horsemanship skill book. In fact, this one could even tame a flying monster?!
In <<REBIRTH>>, being able to mount a flying monster definitely meant more than just having an increase in speed.
As for the “Force Takeover”, this was even more valuable. A skill to BUFF the entire team was a skill only a Knight could have. Even though Knights didn’t have many advantages over the other jobs at this current stage of the game, they would have a unique skill set during the later stage of the game. A capable Knight would be able to provide a BUFF to a full team of 20 people.
Whether it was for large-scale team dungeon quests or guild battles in the future, such a skill to increase firepower throughout the team was extremely effective. Therefore, while Knights might be in an awkward position now, they would definitely be a hot property in the later stages of the game.
“Force Takeover” was not just a team BUFF skill. It was, more precisely, a skill that could increase firepower throughout everyone on the same side against the same target.
Just from the description of the skill, one could tell how mightily powerful this skill set was, especially the substantial increase in firepower. A substantial increase in the game would reflect about at least a 50% increase. With this skill, a group of 50 elite players could easily take on a group of 500 enemies.
“This…This isn’t enough right…” Crotch Lord looked at these two skill books and became even more greedy.
He was able to casually knock off two skill books which were worth cities. Who knows if he can continue to threaten and extort a god grade equipment?
“En, indeed, because we can get those items the moment we kill him. Additionally, we can even earn some experience points.” Wang Yu nodded in agreement.
The Ape King grew anxious again as it started jumping around, “Despicable fellas! These are all I have so even if you eat me alive, you will not get anything else.”
The Ape King didn’t look like he was lying and after all, NPC was not allowed to lie. Moreover, it was already extremely impressive for a BOSS like this to take out these items.
“Brother, give us a bit more and we’ll let you off.” Crotch Lord refused to give up.
The Ape King pondered for a while before saying, “Let me off and I’ll tell you a secret.”
“Tell us first.”
“No, let me go because I don’t trust the few of you.” The Ape King grew cautious as he was tricked twice.
“Give me a reason to believe you.”
The Ape King couldn’t trust the gamers but the gamers couldn’t trust an NPC too. This was especially so in <<REBIRTH>> where the NPCs were all so crafty.
Even so, the Ape King’s single sentence got all three of them speechless immediately. “NPC cannot lie.”
