NOVEL WEB Chapter 257 Please Take Me Out
Profound Maiden looked at the puzzled expressions of the group and laughed: "I understand that you don't know. To put it simply, I am actually the guardian of this medium-sized Hell Secret Realm. All medium-sized Hell Secret Realms are under my jurisdiction."
Ye Chen understood what Profound Maiden meant and asked, "If that's the case, what is the reason for your sudden appearance?"
Profound Maiden glanced around and said, "Because I want to make a deal with you."
"A deal?"
The group was even more confused.
Zhu Qiang said, "A deal, what kind of deal could we possibly make?"
"Don't rush, let me finish talking. This deal is simple: you take me out, and in return, you get a reward." Profound Maiden's eyes twinkled as she smiled.
From Profound Maiden's expression, you could see deep confidence.
Ye Chen, however, laughed and said, "Profound Maiden, this seems a bit unfair to us. We were supposed to gain experience value anyway, and now you suddenly come out and cut in. Isn't this a bit unfair?"
"Hm, you make a good point. It is indeed unfair to you, but so what? Do you have any other choice?" Profound Maiden said with a firm attitude.
Being a level-30 Lord-level monster, she naturally had her own pride.
"Profound Maiden, it's no fun talking like that. This isn't a deal; it's a threat. Fine, then let's just wait it out here. The environment here is quite nice anyway." With that, Ye Chen sat down on the ground, making it clear he wasn't going anywhere.
"You!" Profound Maiden didn't expect Ye Chen to act this way and got a bit angry.
Seeing Ye Chen displeased, the first to disagree was Genggeng. Genggeng stepped forward and punched Profound Maiden's leg, shouting, "You old woman, how dare you bully my master. I'll beat you to death!"
Profound Maiden looked at Genggeng, utterly shocked, quickly backing away and shouted sternly, "Stop!"
"I won't stop. I'm going to beat you to death!" As she spoke, Genggeng grabbed Profound Maiden's leg and bit down hard.
Seeing this, Ye Chen hurriedly shouted, "Genggeng, come back."
Hearing Ye Chen's command, Genggeng snorted at Profound Maiden, then came to sit next to Ye Chen and crossed her arms, letting out another snort.
Profound Maiden looked at Genggeng with a bit of terror in her eyes.
"What are your conditions, just say it!" Profound Maiden finally dropped her pride.
Ye Chen understood that Profound Maiden was afraid now. Although Genggeng's combat power was low, her attributes and skills were intimidating. Her infinite blood volume meant there was nothing one could do, but Genggeng also had a chance of instant kill, and Profound Maiden, being smart, wouldn't gamble with her life.
Ye Chen stood back up and said, "My condition is simple. Aren't you the manager of the Hell Secret Realm? Double the experience value we earn this time, and stay with me for a month to help in battles and inform us about the monsters."
Upon hearing this, Profound Maiden panicked immediately: "Impossible, I am just the manager and have no authority to change the amount of experience gained. However, I can give you the equipment from the Secret Realm, and a month is too long. I can stay with you for at most a week."
"No problem, deal!" Ye Chen immediately agreed.
Ye Chen hadn't planned to ask for anything, just wanted Profound Maiden to stay by his side and provide information about monsters, and assist in the upcoming monster siege battle. The highest combat power on the opposing side was that LV30 Lord-level Lissando, also seemingly from the spirit communication clan. Having Profound Maiden's help gave him an edge.
The equipment from the Secret Realm was purely an unexpected bonus.
Profound Maiden realized too late that she had been tricked by Ye Chen's quick agreement.
But having already made the promise, Profound Maiden couldn't take it back, so she stomped her foot angrily.
Profound Maiden waved her sleeve, and ten items suddenly appeared before Ye Chen and his group.
"Whoa! We hit the jackpot, Brother Chen!"
Five pieces of Four Stars Divine Artifacts, five pieces of Five Stars Epic Level equipment.
All five Four Stars Divine Artifacts were defensive gear; the Epic Level equipment included one weapon, while the rest were gear.
Armor, shoes, helmets, wings, and items for every part were available.
And all were LV25-grade equipment.
The Five Stars Epic Level weapon was a war axe, perfectly suitable for Tang Qiu's Cow Warrior.
When Ye Chen handed the weapon to Tang Qiu, she was dumbfounded and murmured: "Ye Chen, this is a Five Stars Epic Level weapon? Are you sure you want to give it to me?"
Ye Chen nodded with a smile: "Why not? You are now also a LV20 Pet Tamer."
Tang Qiu still hesitated, but Zhu Qiang said, "Sister Tang Qiu, don't be shy. We all have Five Stars Epic Level weapons. If you, as our teammate, don't have one, it'd be too unfair!"
Tang Qiu had no choice but to accept the war axe.
From the remaining items, Ye Chen took two pieces of defense equipment for the Pill Master and Dark Princess.
Blood Asura didn't need anything; Ye Chen didn't need the Golden Armor Battle Garment either, so he gave it to Blood Asura.
Genggeng picked up one of the Four Stars Divine Artifacts and held it tightly in her arms, afraid someone might snatch it away. Ye Chen saw that it was a weapon.
Named the Frost Gloves, the attack power bonus wasn't handy to Genggeng, but the passive attribute was quite good, with a 25% chance to stun enemies for three seconds, which suited Genggeng well.
A sudden flash of insight came to Ye Chen. He could completely go for a special effects build with Genggeng. While attack power and defense bonuses didn't matter much to her, equipping her with gear that had passive attributes was entirely viable.
Ye Chen opened the War Alliance Warehouse and found the Thorn Back Armor still inside. He took it out and had Genggeng wear it.
Although it was low-level, with only a 5% thorns effect, it was better than nothing.
If you attack me, I won't lose blood. Attacking me equals attacking yourself, which was well suited for Genggeng.
After everyone finished distributing the items, Profound Maiden spoke: "I've done what I promised. Now it's your turn to fulfill your promise, right?"
Ye Chen nodded: "No problem, but we don't know how to take you out."
"Of course, you can't, but she can take me out." Profound Maiden suddenly pointed to someone.
It was Little Dot.
"Little Dot?"
Yu Nian held Little Dot's hand and said: "Little Dot? How can Little Dot take you out?"
Profound Maiden showed a mysterious smile: "She certainly has a way."
Yu Nian bent down and asked Little Dot: "Little Dot, do you have a way to take her out?"
Little Dot made a sound of agreement and nodded.
The group was momentarily stunned.
But Ye Chen quickly realized, since they met Little Dot in the Hell Secret Realm, it made sense that Little Dot could take Profound Maiden out.
As for the way Little Dot would take Profound Maiden out, Ye Chen could also guess.
