Chapter 45: A Player's Betrayal
"We won!"
"Well done!"
The players cheered when they saw the destruction of the divine-force avatar.
Afterwards, they focused their attention on the person who made the greatest contribution:
"It is Box Meal!"
"Your movements were so agile! Your skills are so handsome!"
"How did you do it just now?"
Box Meal heard other players' praise and said nothing. He bowed down silently and collected the divine blood crystals on the ground.
Meanwhile, a new system message appeared before all the players' eyes.
[Ding--][The boss of the story, "Ullr's divine-force avatar" has already been defeated]
[The player who has defeated Him: Box Meal]
[All the players who participated in the battle will be rewarded according to their contribution in killing the boss!]
[You will be rewarded now…]
The system message also appeared before Box Meal's eyes. But unlike other players, he saw a chibi-version of the goddess applauding him with fireworks behind her.
Then, he was rewarded--
[Ding--]
[In this task, your contribution to the damage is 4.53%. You gain 4532 experience points and 1373 contribution points]
[As the one who has defeated "Ullr's divine-force avatar", you gain extra task rewards: 1000 contribution points, three Perfect Resurrection, and the exclusive title "The Fearless Man"]
[The Fearless Man: Even if you face a god, you are strong enough and fear nothing!]
The Fearless Man?
Seeing the system message, there was a flicker in Box Meal's dark eyes.
He stretched out his hands to close the system message that asked him whether he wanted to give his equipment a title. Afterwards, he stood up and walked towards the players.
The players also received their rewards. After rejoicing for a moment, they focused their attention on the boss's loot again.
"Where are the divine blood crystals? I just now see so many falling down to the ground!"
"This boss is so rich. No wonder He has a divine-force avatar."
"There should be at least 20 pieces!"
"It seems that Box Meal has put them away."
"How do we divide the crystals?"
While the players were discussing, Box Meal came up to Li Mu.
Although Li Mu did not contribute much to the damage in the battle just now, he had been participating by giving orders to the players. In a sense, he was like the leader of the players in the pre-OBT. His status was similar to that of a team leader who set up a team.
Box Meal walked straight to Li Mu, passed the 26 divine blood crystals to him, and said briefly and determinedly,
"You divide them."
Li Mu raised his eyebrows and nodded. He took the divine blood crystals.
In an instant, more than 70 shining eyes looked towards him at the same time.
After taking the divine blood crystals, Li Mu felt a headache coming when he saw the players looking at him with such bright eyes.
After pondering for a moment, he said,
"I have two ideas. Let's decide by vote. Raise your hand if you like the first idea. The minority will listen to the majority."
"The first idea is to exchange all the divine blood crystals for contribution points and we will divide the contribution points equally."
"The other idea is to roll the numbers, which depends on luck. We will give a number to everyone and we will pick 26 numbers. The 26 lucky people will each get one divine blood crystal."
The players looked at each other, nodded, and started raising their hands to vote. The result was that the majority wanted to exchange the crystals for contribution points and divide the points equally.
The function of the divine blood crystals, after all, was only to be traded for contribution points. In fact, they were similar to money. They players thought that it was relatively fair to divide them equally.
Li Mu nodded when he saw the result of the players' vote,
"Then we will first exchange them for contribution points. There are 26 divine blood crystals altogether, which can be traded for 20800 contribution points. Seventy three players have participated in the battle. Each player will get 284 points on average. The remaining 68 points belong to Box Meal who gave the last hit. Do you guys agree?"
On hearing Li Mu, all the players nodded.
Box Meal said, "Okay."
Little Salty Meow said, "No problem."
Fried Tomatoes said, "I did not realize that after them equally, I will get so few…"
Demacia said, "Ha-ha, it is still enough. If you sell them to the person who collects contribution points, you can get almost three hundred Chinese yuan."
…
Seeing the players nodding, Li Mu felt relieved.
Looking at the sky, he said,
"Then I'll keep the divine blood crystals temporarily. Let's continue to destroy the goblins in Florence first. We should try to finish "Exterminate the Goblins" objective in the mainline task "The holy city of the past" before sunrise. When everybody is here in the morning, we will establish the teleportation circle again and finish the remaining task objectives together!"
Because of the appearance of Ullr's avatar, they temporarily stopped hunting the goblins.
However, after the players already destroyed the boss, they would naturally go back to their original intention, exterminating the goblins.
Although a lot of goblins escaped from Florence in the chaos just now, many did not flee. They thought that if they hid they would not be discovered, so they hid themselves in the ruins.
But they were doomed to be found.
Many level 11 players got detection skills. Creatures at lower levels could not hide themselves in the presence of detection skills.
Moreover, the game system would reveal the number of the remaining goblins in Florence in the task bar.
Even Eve could detect them with His keen perception of lifeforce.
After Li Mu finished speaking, the players took action and started searching for the remaining goblins in the ruins of Florence.
The goblins' screams and the players' laughter sounded everywhere in the ruins now and then, which was a little eerie in the dark night.
Li Mu did not continue to hunt the Goblins. Instead, he took his equipment, put away the divine blood crystals, and turned to walk towards the teleportation circle.
He was going to give the divine blood crystals to Berserker the oak guard, who was guarding the teleportation circle, and let him sacrifice them to the goddess.
It was still not safe to carry the divine blood crystals on him. He was afraid of dropping them.
The earlier Li Mu exchanged them for contribution points, the earlier he would feel relieved.
This was his responsibility. Since the players trusted him, he absolutely wouldn't disappoint them, even if this meant getting less experience points and contribution points by not killing the goblins.
"I wish there was a storage system in this game. Although it is virtual reality, it does not have to emulate everything in reality. It is very inconvenient to move with so many things on me."
Li Mu shook his head as he felt his full and heavy pockets.
"But this is also the charm of the game. I heard that high level magicians can create magic tools that could store objects. I will create one myself after reaching a high level."
He walked while thinking happily.
The forest at night was darker and colder. But elves were not affected as they had nocturnal vision.
Li Mu was nonchalantly walking in the forest.
Suddenly, he sensed danger!
Li Mu's expression faltered as he subconsciously tightened his body. With the combat experience he gained in games, he dodged to the side by reflex.
As soon as he dodged, a wooden knife slashed where he was just now. The wooden knife shone with the glow of a skill and chopped off a tree that was as thick as a bowl!
If Li Mu did not react fast enough, he might have been cut into two pieces by now!
He turned back in shock. When he saw the attacker, he instantly got angry.
"Fried tomatoes? What are you doing?!"
