“Of course it’s a jackpot. We have no need for the little monsters,” said Lin Jie. “The little monsters were just there for us to get used to the way monsters fight in the kitchen. At most, we would get a few more buffs from them. It’s enough as long as everybody knows how to snatch the food from them. Baili, don’t eat anything and just attack.”
Tears were rolling down Baili Changcheng’s cheeks. Indeed, his mouth was filled with rotten food that had bad effects. He was completely pale from just one fight. It would be best for him to stop.
Bu Yi laughed and said softly, “Baili, I’ll help you look out for food. Just listen to my command. I’m great at distinguishing food.”
“Okay! Bu Yi, you are my life savior, my great Buddha.” Baili nodded vigorously.
“Hee-hee...”
Just then, the entire body of the Boss finally appeared.
He was dressed as a chef and had a hat that symbolized his position. His strong legs were accompanied by a layer of thick hair that fluttered in the wind. He looked rather funny. However, his pupilless eyes were a little unsettling.
[Chef•Geraint] (Gold Boss)
Level: 40
Health Points: 600,000
Attack: 1,029-1,284
Defense: 550
Special Feature: I Am the Head Chef! (Chef is able to make food out of any material.)
“Geraint wants to cook all of you!” roared the Boss. He grabbed a durian with one hand and threw it. It flew directly towards them! The durian was a bomb, which could cause 100% explosive damage to a wide area.
Bu Yi stared at the durian. She scrunched up her nose and shouted, “Baili, eat it!”
Baili Changcheng glared at her. ‘Eat it? How do you eat a flying durian?’ He gritted his teeth, and his sword appeared in his hand. With his Ice Control, thin icicles wrapped themselves around the durian, and it was covered in a layer of ice. With a swing of his blade, it was split into two, and the tender flesh of the durian was exposed. Baili Changcheng rushed towards it and swallowed it in one bite.
—”You’ve consumed a durian. Your attack range has increased by 10 yards, and you deal 50% additional AOE damage.”
Lin Jie looked at Bu Yi in admiration. Who knew this girl would have such high sensitivity towards food?
“Let’s go!”
Lin Jie cast Forward Charge, Holy Light Winged Armor, and Sea King Scaly Armour as he headed straight for the Boss in front. Although his Defense was as good as that of Shield Specialists, Berserkers did not have any skills for Damage Immunity or Block. As such, he could not withstand as much damage as a Shield Specialist. However, with the buffs from Bu Yi, it was still pretty easy for Lin Jie to tank this Boss.
The only thing they had to take note of was the Boss’ self-buff.
They all attacked the Boss as it struck its metal shove against Lin Jie’s body, which dealt little to no damage. The health bar of the Boss was depleted quickly. After all, the members of Savage Blade were the top elite players. There was no way they would lack in firepower.
“Roar! Geraint is hungry!” The Boss cried out after its health bar was depleted by 30%. A burst of energy came out from his body, forcing all the players to move back by 15 yards immediately. The Boss turned away and ran towards an antelope. In just the blink of an eye, the antelope, which was running around just one second ago, was turned into roasted meat that smelled delicious by the Boss’ ability.
Every time the Boss’ health bar dropped by 30%, it would release a huge burst of attack that knocked back the players while it immediately created some food. The roasted antelope gave the Boss an additional 60% increase in all stats! This was the hardest part about clearing the Holy Light Kitchen. Once the Boss consumed two to three dishes, its power would increase exponentially. Once the main tank was killed by its high damage, the rest of the team would be annihilated too.
“Death Grip! Come here!”
Lin Jie waved his right hand, and a large purplish black hand grabbed the Boss’ body within moments, pulling it towards him with a strong tug. Baili Changcheng immediately took the chance to rush towards the roasted antelope. He tore out its drumstick and ate it in a few bites, gaining a 30% boost in all stats at once! The buff players attained from eating the food was 50% less than what the Boss would gain.
Death Grip was the iconic skill of a Death Knight. Once used, the target would be crowd controlled unless it was a Boss that was above Gold or had a skill that could block it. Otherwise, the target would not be able to avoid the skill. When he used the skill, everyone else was shocked! Not only did Lin Jie have Forward Charge as a Warrior, but he could also use Death Grip. He was every job’s nightmare.
Lin Jie easily realized that the Boss could only release a huge attack for every 30% health point it lost. All the food of the Boss was snatched away by Lin Jie and his team. Even as the Boss continued to stomp around, without the buffs from the food, the damage it dealt with only its shovel was unable to put any pressure on Bu Yi, who was healing Lin Jie.
They continued to deplete the Boss’ health bar steadily and even disrupted the Boss’ attempt to cook another dish. Slowly, the Boss’ health bar was dropped to its last 10%.
The last 60,000 points!
The Boss roared like a maniac. It actually gave up on its target and turned around to escape! As it ran, it turned every ingredient around him into food and tossed them at the team. At that moment, food was raining down like fireworks, and a delicious smell filled the room. However, there was also food which was emitting poison and some that were exploding and sending out waves of flame. There were even those that turned into bones and headed towards them...
“Kill him!” Lin Jie roared as he charged forward. He waved his Broken Blade and sent out a few Blade Auras flying towards the Boss’ back. Each slash dealt over 800 damage.
When Geraint was down to its last 10% of health, it would enter a state of flight and escape for 10 minutes. The players could choose to kill the Boss within those 10 minutes or have a Priest constantly heal the damage caused by the food thrown at them for the entire period. After the 10 minutes were up, the Boss would lose all of its strength and enter a weakened state for 20 seconds, allowing the players to defeat it.
However, if the Boss were to be killed before it entered the weakened state, there would be a chance of getting special items as loot.
The special item would not be food. They would be items that were referred to as “Special Boss’ Drops” by players. In the game, certain equipment with great stats could only be dropped by specific Bosses. Those were the special items.
With Baili Changcheng’s Ice Control and Qiu Yuan’s Dark Fog, it was really easy to chase after the Boss and kill it. Zheng Ziliang’s Mechanical Gargoyle was hovering about the air as it waited for the right moment to dive down and attack the Boss brutally. After 5 minutes, the number one Boss of Holy Light’s Backup Room, Chef Geraint, let out a cry as it fell dead on the floor!
—’Congratulations, you have killed Boss Chef Geraint. You received 260,000 EXP and 200 Guild of Light Reputation Points.’
“Ziliang, search the corpse,” said Lin Jie. He was the luckiest among them all. It was better to believe in such a thing as luck than to not have it.
Zheng Ziliang rubbed his hands and touched the corpse!
—’You have received 18 silver coins.’
—’You have received [Geraint’s Delicious Mushroom Soup] x2.’
—’You have received [Geraint’s Chef Hat] (Gold).’
At the same time, everyone received the notification and had gotten [Fragment of Faith] x1. This fragment was an important item in clearing the Holy Light Temple. All the Bosses in the newly opened 50 dungeons would drop those fragments.
Other than the Gold hat, and the 4 pieces of Silver equipment, there were other junk items, which would be sold to Sky Provisions Shop or kept in the Brotherhood’s inventory.
“The special item is dropped,” said Lin Jie happily.
[Geraint’s Chef Hat] (Gold, Cloth Armor)
Requires: Level 40
Defense: 21
Wisdom: +25
Spirit: +18
Mana: +300, Mana Recovery/second: +10
Additional effect: You receive an additional 0.5% Mana Recovery for every 1% your Mana decreases.
Special feature: Recover Your Status! Recovers 20% Mana immediately.
Note: A chef’s hat, which perfectly blends the smell of food and the chef’s body. Smell it when you are hungry. It will make you... hungrier -Geraint.
This cloth armor was a rather great item with recovery stats for magical jobs. Compared to some Dark Gold Fragments, it was even stronger. In Lin Jie’s previous life, many Mages would camp at the Holy Light Backup Room just to spawn Chef Geraint for its hat!
“Bu Yi can have it. Even if your level increases, you can continue to use it since it gives 20% Mana Recovery. It’s as good as a large magic potion,” said Lin Jie. There was no mistake in giving her an equipment with Mana Recovery.
Other than that, there was another item.
[Chef Geraint’s Delicious Mushroom Soup]: Food. You will recover 2,600 HP and 1,000 MP over 10 seconds. For the next 15 minutes, your health and mana recovery will be increased by 15 points every second.
Food could only be used outside of battle. Increased recovery rate by 15 points every second was a really good attribute, especially for long battles.
After they made preparations, they left the kitchen. If they continued to stay in the kitchen after the Boss was defeated, the remaining 19 monsters would continue to spawn after 10 minutes. This was not something they needed.
The next room was Holy Light’s Equipment Room.
The vast and ominous storage room was filled with the stench of dead bodies. There were copses of demons, humans, elves, goblins, and beasts. All strewn over the floor messily. A few believers with cold expressions were holding swords and cutting the corpses. They were slicing off the equipment that was worn by the dead bodies.
This was Holy Light’s Equipment Room, also known as its morgue!
“This is not a place for you evil blasphemers!” Six believers stood up with rage and gathered rays of light in their hands. With a roar, the holy light shot out like arrows and landed on Lin Jie’s Kiara Beast King Armor.
-362!
-310!
[Holy Light’s Organiser] (Elite)
Level: 40
Health Points: 75,000
Magic Attack: 839-924
Defense: 330
Special Feature: Holy Light Faith. (Increases effect of Holy Light magic skills by 20%, gains 15% immunity towards Dark Magic Attacks)
Those monsters, which mainly used magic attacks, were able to deal a huge amount of damage to Lin Jie! There were 6 believers in front of him. Their wave of attacks dealt close to 2,000 damage! Magic was forever a Warrior’s nemesis.
“Clomaros’ Kill!” Lin Jie’s eyes turned cold as a strong aura emerged from him. Within a radius of 100 yards, there were chants as the God of War descended! A huge golden blade came slashing down!
-17,287!
