Finally, I successfully received this quest!

The personal and regional first-kill rewards for the Boss are calculated based on the grand zone.

Grand Zone 8 has over a thousand Safe Zones, and there must be quite a few areas where this quest can be triggered, not just Zhang Yi's. So next, it depends on which team's completion rate is higher.

At this time, Guan Hao, Liu Xing, and a few others who also received the [Hunt Skeletons] quest were quite intrigued.

"What kind of quest is this, and why can it weaken the Boss's attributes?"

Zhang Yi said, "No time to waste, go resupply, and then we head out immediately."

Once ready, the five-person team set off for the Undead City.

Zhang Yi walked at the front, silent, while Guan Hao and the others followed, feeling heavy-hearted.

After a long silence, Guan Hao suddenly laughed and said, "Remember back in high school when the three of us used to skip class to play games?"

"Every time we skipped class, we had to rely on the class monitor to cover for us. Haha, poor Yaru, our class monitor!"

Indeed, Zhang Yi remembered. Back then, Han Yaru was the class monitor, and before they were together, every time Zhang Yi skipped class with Guan Hao and the others, he would ask Han Yaru to come up with excuses for them.

Han Yaru: "They said they ate something bad at lunch and went to the infirmary..."

Han Yaru: "There was a fire at Guan Hao's house, and Zhang Yi and Liu Xing went to help put it out..."

Han Yaru: "They went to visit their sick grandmother in the hospital..."

Principal: "Do they all have the same grandmother?"

Han Yaru: "Um... all three of their grandmothers are sick and hospitalized..."

"A different excuse every day, and it couldn't be repeated. It was tough on our class monitor Yaru, haha!" Guan Hao laughed heartily and said, "Until one time, when Yaru skipped class with us to go online for the first time and got caught by the principal. It was so thrilling, haha!"

Zhang Yi remained silent, making Guan Hao seem like a fool.

Liu Xing then said, "Zhang Yi, do you know how many people Yaru has turned down for you since you left?"

"How can you be so heartless?"

"Enough, stop it!" Zhang Yi finally couldn't hold back and snapped.

It wasn't that Zhang Yi was heartless, but in this reborn life, Zhang Yi didn't want any ties or influences. In this life, Zhang Yi needed no friends or brothers, and certainly no lover. What he needed was to become strong without any reservations.

This was a fact that eight years of survival in the Apocalypse had taught Zhang Yi: relying on any kind of familial, friendly, or romantic ties was not as reliable as becoming strong oneself.

With Zhang Yi's outburst, Guan Hao and Liu Xing stopped talking, but Han Yaru, walking behind, couldn't help but silently shed tears.

Soon, the group arrived at the Undead City.

At one o'clock in the afternoon, players were coming and going from the Undead City in an endless stream. The entire city was filled with players teaming up to hunt skeletons and undead. The first two low-level areas were so crowded that there was barely any room to stand.

Standing at the entrance of the Undead City, Zhang Yi asked Guan Hao and the others, "Have you done your [Undead Requiem] quest today?"

"No," Guan Hao shook his head and said, "Our levels are too low, and our equipment isn't up to par. Even the lowest level 15 skeletons and undead in the Undead City are too much for us to handle."

So, Zhang Yi pointed to Undead Merchant Ailo and said to Guan Hao and the others, "Go get a level 3 difficulty quest, and I'll help you farm it while we do this quest."

Although they had never been to the Undead City, they had learned about its layout through other players' chats in the channel.

They knew that the level 3 difficulty for [Undead Requiem] corresponded to the highest level 19-20 skeletons and undead on the first floor, a forbidden area that many high-level players still dared not enter. Qing Feng was a bit surprised and said, "Isn't level 3 difficulty too high? We probably can't handle level 19 skeletons. Maybe we should pick a lower difficulty?"

"No problem," Zhang Yi said. "The level 1 and 2 areas are already full. Let's go straight to level 3. I'll lead, and you guys just follow."

Despite Zhang Yi's assurance, Guan Hao and the others were still hesitant.

Having witnessed Zhang Yi single-handedly wipe out a team of over a dozen from King's World, Zhang Yi's strength was unquestionable, so Guan Hao and the others were worried about themselves.

Liu Xing whispered, "We've used up our Revival Chances. Are we really going straight to level 3? What if..."

Before he could finish, Guan Hao said, "I trust Zhang Yi!"

"I trust him too," Qing Feng added. "And the level 1 and 2 areas are indeed too crowded. There's no room for us."

"Let's go to level 3."

With that, Han Yaru was the first to approach Undead Merchant Ailo. After triggering the dialogue, she directly accepted a level 3 difficulty [Undead Requiem] from Ailo!

While other teams of level 16 or 17 players only dared to take on level 2 difficulty quests, Han Yaru, a level 15 Priest, boldly accepted a level 3 difficulty Undead Requiem, instantly sparking discussions among the players around her.

A level 16 Warrior Uncle: "This girl has guts, daring to take on level 3 difficulty. Is she really that strong?"

A level 17 Assassin: "Such a beautiful young lady, want to team up? I'll help you with level 3 difficulty!"

Seeing a group of male players with ulterior motives surrounding Han Yaru, Zhang Yi's clenched fists relaxed immediately.

Why was he feeling jealous? Han Yaru had long since had nothing to do with him. Whoever pursued her or whom she chose to be with was her freedom and had nothing to do with him.

Seeing Han Yaru surrounded by those solo players who were attracted to her beauty, Han Feng and Liu Xing hurried to help, only to find that their status as Yaru's friends made them targets of hostility from those trying to get close to her.

A level 16, strong Knight bumped into the skinny Liu Xing, sneering, "With your level and strength, you have the nerve to bring a girl along?"

"What's it to you?" Liu Xing shouted at the players surrounding Han Yaru, "If anyone dares to touch Yaru, I'll kill them!"

As soon as Liu Xing's impulsive words left his mouth, several players among those surrounding Han Yaru approached him with murderous intent.

"Kid, who do you think you're going to kill?"
