I Am Stuck In A Beta Test For 1000 Years

Chapter 190 190

Chapter 111. The Aftermath

[Your party has purified the Heart of the Nest (level 50 | Generating); a participation rate of 100%. You received a total of 15,000,000 experience points to be allocated.]

Looking at the astonishing number in the system prompt, Huangfu Shou was left speechless.

The party experience bonus was doubled for every ten people, and the upper limit was 150 people, which was 15 times. If there were more, it was recommended to split into a few more parties to form a large 'joint party.' There would be a new calculation formula when the time came.

Although the Heart of the Nest could only provide 1,000,000 experience points, it was the most Huangfu Shou had seen. It was close to 70,000 experience points for each of the 200 players, enough for them to level up 2 to 3 times.

Furthermore, it did not even include the reward from the church after the mission was completed!

In the past, he had leveled up once every three days in the novice village. Now, he had leveled up three times a day. Some netizens were right.

"The newbie village in [Fantasy world] is a cage. It's not to protect the players but to trap the fourth calamity."

Now that he thought about it, it made too much sense. Nothing could happen faster than causing trouble.

Char and the priest NPC left the team not long after they left. Then, they sent a message from Apple Pie. There was a Heart of the Nest on the cliff that needed to be purified, and the price was their lives.

With the help of the remaining one hundred church knights, they reached the mountain top in less than twenty minutes. They then sacrificed forty lives to destroy the Heart of the Nest successfully.

Compared to this ridiculous amount of experience, forty lives were nothing.

At present, the demons had basically been wiped out, leaving only those who had learned gathering skills to clean up the battlefield. Even Ghost Lantern had disappeared with his boning knives. Huangfu Shou was happy to be idle. He was looking around for Apple Pie to find out the origin of his "Second Uncle," but he did not expect her voice to come from behind.

"Shou, come quickly. Look at how much this sword of mine could be exchanged for!"

Apple Pie ran over shakily, holding a two-handed sword even taller than her.

The sword looked as if it had just been pulled out of a river of lava. Its blade was as red as a soldering iron, and the sharp thorns on both sides of the sword were overgrown. The hilt was decorated with a round amber eye. At first glance, it was not a proper sword.

"What the hell? Apple Pie, you really are something. Where did you get such a sword?"

"Clang!"

The smelly seal threw the sword on the ground and clapped her hands.

"Hey, I'm so tired. It's the bigwig!"

"Eh? Who's the bigwig?"

"He's my Second Uncle." Apple Pie kicked the sword. "He told me to quickly search the corpse and not let anyone else get there first. As soon as I touched the sword, I was hit by the curse on it and entered the 'Chaos' state. I carried the sword and walked around like a fool, and only came back after it disappeared."

"So strange?"

Huangfu Shou hurried forward to check.

He first set up two ice walls around himself to make sure he would not run around like a headless fly like Apple Pie. Then, he touched the sword.

-

-

After reading the attributes, Huangfu Shou fell into a long silence.

Was this equipment level supposed to be at this stage?

According to the stingy nature of [Fantasy World], this would at least appear in the drop list of level 45 bosses. However, they had not encountered such a monster on their way here.

"What's wrong, Shou?" Apple Pie waved her hand in front of him. "Shou, are you stupid? Don't tell me you've been hit by the curse of retardedness!"

"Which corpse did you get this from?" Huangfu Shou asked.

"The biggest one. It's a red-skinned creature that looks like a demon."

"F*ck, I thought it was a scene layout. I didn't expect it to be the corpse of a monster."

Huangfu Shou was left speechless. He sent the sword's attributes to her.

"You probably triggered the 'chaos curse', and now it's on cooldown. Wait, you said that Second Uncle asked you to search the body, so doesn't that mean he did this?"

"Eh?"

Apple Pie blinked.

Her rationality told her this was how things should be. After all, it was not surprising for Char to do anything. However, seeing Huangfu Shou's shock, she couldn't help but be on guard.

All this while, the things that her bigwig had done could be considered shocking, but not many people around her knew about it.

He was so low-key. Was it because he was afraid of being famous?

Could he also be a professional player who had left home for ten years?

Wouldn't that mean she shouldn't have caused him trouble?

She briefly brainstormed and thought of at least a dozen melodramatic settings for Char, but no matter what, she had to keep a low profile for the time being.

"Not necessarily. He has a chief priest by his side. They could kill it in seconds without any hesitation."

"That makes sense..."

Huangfu Shou seemed to have accepted this answer.

"What should we do with this sword? It's already among the team's loot," He said. "If you want to return it to Second Uncle, I can buy it."

"I'll buy it. Bigwig doesn't like to owe others favors. How about 200?"

Huangfu Shou raised his eyebrows.

Their unit of measurement was "Dan."

Two hundred was just two hundred dan.

Although it was not a small amount and was just pocket money for the higher-ups in Ghost Hunter, it was the largest amount Apple Pie had ever offered.

She was a good girl at school, unlike them, who waved money around for fun. What was her relationship with this Second Uncle?

"Shou!"

Apple Pie suddenly stared at him. Her tone was calm, but it was as if there were ice shards behind his back that made him shudder.

"What are you thinking about?"

"It's nothing!" Huangfu Shou immediately smiled and patted his chest. "How can I let you pay? A hundred is enough. I'll pay for it. You can take this sword!"

"No, it's fine. I'll pay for it."

Apple Pie held the sword in her hand, but she felt it was a stupid and annoying sword, so she threw it back to Huangfu Shou.

"I'll put it with you first and give it to him next time. That guy isn't in a hurry anyway."

At the thought of Char and Mia's disappearance, Apple Pie felt something was wrong and was a little resentful.

With that, she turned around and left.

Huangfu Shou shook his head helplessly. He turned and saw a swordsman standing not far away.

He remembered this guy. He was the representative elected by the group of passersby. Char even lent him a shield.

His name seemed to be Abbacchio.

Huangfu Shou couldn't help but size him up a few more times as he felt that Abbacchio was favored by his "Second Uncle."

With one look, he saw many clues.

The beautiful black and gold shield were full of scars. It was normal. A shield full of scars was normal.

However, there were no wounds on his body. There wasn't even the slightest bit of mud or blood.

He didn't look like a clean freak either - his shoes were covered in blood and mud.

Huangfu Shou recalled Char's words when he was choosing the swordsmen, and he was suddenly enlightened.

Abbacchio was a solid swordsman.

"How are you?"

Ghost Hunter's President came forward to greet him personally, and Abbacchio was flattered. He was only here to return the shield. Char told him to return it to Ghost Hunter.

"Hello..."

After they greeted each other, Huangfu Shou spoke first without waiting for Abbacchio to state his intention. "Do you have any thoughts of joining Ghost Hunter?"

"Eh?"
