Global Game: I Can Choose Instance Rewards

Chapter 173: Strategy


"Let's just choose a fine layer short dagger and a fine layer long bow."

Not knowing the market here, Wang Zhifan casually chose two weapons, one for close range and one for long range.

But after he made his selection, he found that no equipment or boxes appeared around him, and his personal space didn't have anything extra.

So he used the scope of the Endless Sniper Rifle to observe, and quickly discovered that the equipment he chose did appear, but it was near the corpse he had blasted to bits.

"Equipment dropping at the monster's death location? This instance really has that game-like feel."

Since that was the case, Wang Zhifan retracted the Endless Sniper Rifle, which had just fired a bullet, back into his personal space, then with a thought, he summoned a chestnut-red steed breaking through the void to his side, which was his Pegasus mount, the Red Deer Horse.

"Red Deer, this instance will probably trouble you."

Considering that he had to search for the NPC faction which was somewhere out there and fight monsters to explode equipment everywhere, he definitely needed the Red Deer Horse to carry him around, so Wang Zhifan patted the Red Deer's back and smiled at it.

Don't assume his behavior is strange, talking to an animal, because he knew that his Red Deer Horse was not a creature of the mundane world, with intelligence equivalent to that of a human, able to understand his meaning.

Hearing Wang Zhifan say this, the chestnut-red and graceful Red Deer Horse slightly turned its head to look at him, blinking its bright eyes. Its gentle gaze seemed to say: No problem, leave everything to me.

This was typical of the Red Deer's character; although its appearance was fiery red and seemed like it should be a horse with a very fiery temper, its character and appearance were quite contrasting. It was tranquil and gentle, rarely making any sound, embodying its characteristic of being "silent" as described.

After communicating with his mount, Wang Zhifan then rode the saddleless and reinless horse, starting to run towards the distant group of corpses.

This time, he did not continue using the inefficient method of shooting, he directly activated his Ice Source Power, from afar freezing and instantly killing all the corpses in the area, causing light screens to continuously flash before his eyes.

"Wow... Luckily, I didn't instant-kill all the monsters around here earlier, otherwise, choosing the rewards would take forever."

After killing about ten monsters, ten identical reward selection lists popped up in front of him, making Wang Zhifan feel somewhat powerless to complain. He didn't understand why this thing had no merging function for similar items, insisting on showing them one by one, giving him a headache.

"Since that's the case, I'll choose one piece of each fine layer equipment... but those corpse claws, corpse chunks ... whatever, select them all."

Initially, Wang Zhifan felt disgusted by the corpse series of materials and didn't want to bother, but considering that he didn't understand this world's market value, these items might be of high value, he pinched his nose and selected some of these materials, anyway, he just tried and these drops could all be stored in his personal space.

Since he was currently sitting on the Red Deer Horse's back, he didn't dismount to get the equipment but instead, he used his Ice Source Power to construct several ice arms to do the job. This ability demonstrated his creation and control over ice, though it only realized a very basic function, it also partly reflected the power of the Epic Ice Source Power.

It can be responsibly said that half of Wang Zhifan's current strength came from this Epic Ice Source Power he possessed. Without this ridiculously powerful and versatile ice power, he certainly wouldn't consider himself very strong, he'd surely maintain a humble demeanor. But no way, with the Epic Ice Source Power, it's hard not to get a bit inflated, Wang Zhifan was already quite restrained.

Casually creating a few ice hands to pick up the dozens of pieces of equipment on the ground and put them in the personal space, sitting on the Red Deer Horse's back, Wang Zhifan didn't plan to continue hunting monsters. This wasn't because his personal space was full, but because he found the surrounding monsters seemed all to be such low-level corpses, destined not to drop anything good.

If he insisted on killing them all, it would be very easy, just a thought to activate the Ice Source Power would do it, but the problem was, then hundreds of layers of reward selection lists would jump out right in front of him, the scene too overwhelming to imagine.

"Given my current situation, it would be better to focus on targeting high-value monsters in the future, mass monster killing isn't very necessary for me."

After determining the basic strategy, Wang Zhifan rode the Red Deer Horse, observing the surroundings for any other monsters, while seeking clues of the instance's NPCs and other players.

In previous instances, he didn't really pay much attention to his teammates, after all, compared to him, they were all very weak, the instance would progress with or without them, sometimes performing better without other players' interference.

But this instance was different; the level and number of other players were unclear, with the punishment mechanism removed, and the setting of killing monsters to get equipment easily causing conflicts, maybe he was competing against a bunch of high-level players above Lv50, he couldn't disregard others as he usually did before understanding the situation.

Riding the Red Deer Horse and running across the wasteland covered in rocks and weeds, under the gloomy sky, it wasn't long before Wang Zhifan discovered a dilapidated wooden house ahead, with many stumbling, disgusting corpses outside, and he could sense a rather evil aura inside the house.

"Evil Spirit?"

Similar evil feelings, Wang Zhifan had encountered quite a bit in the last instance, but this time, the strength of the aura he sensed was far less than the previous one, estimating that the evil spirit here was just an ordinary spirit body, nothing bizarre.

Ah~ Uh~ Ah~

As Wang Zhifan sat on the horse's back assessing the situation in the nearby wooden house, one of the slow-moving disgusting corpses outside suddenly noticed his presence and started emitting an unpleasant low growl, speeding up towards him.

"Don't be a bother."

Not wanting to get tangled up with this valueless common monster, he immediately activated the Ice Source Power to freeze it, just freezing without killing, after controlling it, he continued to activate the Ice Source Power to deal with the entity inside the wooden house.

This time, he needed to get serious, and indeed consumed no small amount of power, because spirit-type entities had much higher resistance to ice-based powers than corporeal corpses, some investment was necessary to achieve a substantial effect.

"This time's rewards seem a bit interesting."

This time, the reward list appearing in front of Wang Zhifan finally sparked a bit of his interest.
