"Everyone, charge! The Skeleton General dropped so many good items, we can't let that useless Beastmaster take them all for himself. Hurry and grab the loot!"

Amidst the chaos, players from all directions rushed over like madmen.

Zhang Yi couldn't help but chuckle. Useless? A useless person who can solo a level 17 Elite Skeleton General, while all you can do is watch from the sidelines—doesn't that make you even less than useless?

Trying to snatch items from Zhang Yi? That's not going to happen.

As he crouched down, Zhang Yi opened the settings and enabled the "ID Display" function. With the ID "Yinuo Qingcheng" appearing above his head, the swarm of players rapidly approaching from all directions came to a halt, staring at Zhang Yi's ID in shock.

"Yinuo Qingcheng!"

"He’s actually Yinuo Qingcheng! No wonder he can solo an elite monster four levels higher..."

The situation was such that ever since Zhang Yi was the first to enter the Safe Zone and triggered the Area Announcement, he had become famous. Then, after consecutively killing King's World team captain King's Glory twice, witnessed by many players, and being called out by King's Glory in the regional channel, he became a legend. The name Yinuo Qingcheng was now known by everyone in Safe Zone No. 886.

However, it was only the ID that was famous. People only knew Yinuo Qingcheng, not Zhang Yi. So as long as Zhang Yi hid his ID, over 99% of players in Zone 886 wouldn't recognize him as Yinuo Qingcheng.

With the ID "Yinuo Qingcheng" visible to everyone, the surrounding players recalled the rumors of this person single-handedly defeating over thirty professional players from King's World. No one dared to compete with Yinuo Qingcheng for the loot.

Thus, Zhang Yi collected all the items for himself.

In total, he acquired 12 Silver Coins, 8 Level 2 Enhancement Stones, two pieces of equipment, and an Archer Skill Book.

Zhang Yi felt a bit disappointed because, aside from the universal currency and enhancement stones, there was nothing he could use.

Both pieces of equipment were level 17. Although one was a 2-star rare item, unfortunately, Zhang Yi couldn't equip it, as it was a Knight's helmet, and the other was a 1-star Assassin's garment.

He tossed all the unusable items into his bag, planning to auction them off back at the Safe Zone. Zhang Yi's gaze lingered on the only remaining treasure chest, his last hope.

It was a Two-Star Treasure Chest. Fortunately, Zhang Yi had come prepared, fearing he might find treasure chests in the wild. Before setting out, he had purchased several Two-Star and Three-Star Keys from the shop.

So, Zhang Yi pulled out a Two-Star Key, and with a hint of anticipation, opened the treasure chest.

With a clatter, the chest opened, revealing a silver-gray ring. Picking it up, Zhang Yi was immediately overjoyed—

[Silver Bone Ring]:

Quality: 2-Star

Attack Power: 35

Additional Attribute: Stamina 5

Class Restriction: Magician, Beastmaster, Priest

Level Requirement: 14

Description: This ring is crafted from the powdered bones of a Skeleton General. It is said that wearing this ring grants the wearer the true essence of the Skeleton General, becoming as powerful as it...

A 2-star mage ring that boosts attack power is incredibly strong!

In the Apocalypse world, only equipment dropped directly by monsters needs to be appraised before wearing, while items obtained from treasure chests or quests do not. The level of equipment from the former is determined by the monster's level, while the latter is based on the level of the first player to acquire it, with a possible deviation of 1-2 levels.

The base attributes of this ring, even before enhancement, already surpassed the 32 attack power bonus from Zhang Yi's current Level 25 Enhanced [Lucky Ring]. Once fully enhanced, the attack power increase would be terrifying!

The additional 5 points of stamina, which could reach 18 points after enhancement, would also significantly boost Zhang Yi's survivability.

It was indeed a delightful find, exactly the kind of top-tier ring Zhang Yi needed!

Unfortunately, like the [Magician's Pants], it was level 14 equipment, and Zhang Yi, still at level 13, couldn't use it yet.

Placing the [Silver Bone Ring] alongside the [Magician's Pants], Zhang Yi opened the status bar to check. After receiving 5000 experience points from the Skeleton General, his experience was now at 23230/33000, just 10,000 experience points away from reaching level 14.

With the ring and pants as his goal, Zhang Yi stepped over the Skeleton General's corpse, wielding his Flame Staff, and headed towards the area densely populated with level 17-18 Skeleton Warriors and Skeleton Archers.

Having soloed a level 17 Elite Skeleton General, dealing with these normal Skeleton Warriors and Skeleton Archers was certainly no challenge for Zhang Yi.

However, these skeletal monsters had a rather troublesome innate talent.

The Skeleton Warrior possessed an [Innate Physique] talent, granting it a 30% damage reduction, while the Skeleton Archer had an [Innate Berserk] talent, providing a 20% damage boost and a 20% attack speed increase!

Unfortunately, Zhang Yi's level was four levels lower than the Skeleton Warriors, exceeding the effective detection range of his Basic Detection Skill. Apart from their talents, Zhang Yi couldn't see any other stats.

Oh well, he decided to fight head-on!

Wielding his Flame Staff, Zhang Yi quickly locked onto a target and launched a Fireball Spell at a nearby level 17 Skeleton Archer.

Boom—

-244!

The Skeleton Archer's health bar above its head decreased by a third.

The Skeleton Archer immediately retaliated, drawing its bow and shooting an arrow with a "whoosh."

Due to the [Innate Berserk] talent granting the Skeleton Archer a 20% attack speed boost, Zhang Yi's positioning was inadequate against its rapid attack speed. He failed to dodge and was hit in the shoulder by the Skeleton Archer's arrow—

-189!

Even after the Angel's Shield absorbed 50 points of damage, Zhang Yi still suffered a high 189 points of damage!

With the Innate Berserk boost, the Skeleton Archer's damage was almost on par with the Elite Skeleton General!

Zhang Yi followed up with a Chain Lightning, combined with a normal attack that triggered a Lucky Strike, taking down the Skeleton Archer in three hits.

During this process, Zhang Yi was hit twice, losing over 300 health points. If he got hit by the Skeleton Archer once more, he would be done for!
