Chapter 11

Chapter 11

Inside the arena, After the Ancient Witch Queen finished speaking, Her body exploded violently, A burst of green light centered around her illuminated the entire central area as bright as day.

Above the green light, countless vengeful spirits transformed into skeletal figures, seemingly intent on claiming Qin Han's life.

Qin Han's brow furrowed tightly.

This green light was a deadly poison, unleashed by the Witch Queen at the cost of her life. Even a slight touch would likely be impossible to cleanse.

These vengeful spirits were likely the players the Witch Queen had slain, Now transformed into her final means of attack.

"Nightmare, charge into the hut, now!"

He urged Nightmare forward at top speed, rushing into a small hut nearby, The vengeful spirits and green light pursued closely behind.

Inside the hut, atop the central altar, lay a glowing orb emitting alternating red and green light.

Without hesitation, Qin Han grabbed the orb in his hand.

At the same time, The vengeful spirits and the deadly green poison instantly surrounded him.

[You have been poisoned. HP -]

[You are under attack by vengeful spirits. HP -]

Even more terrifying was the poison's continuous damage, while the sheer number of vengeful spirits ensured relentless attacks. His HP plummeted just as fast as the poison drained it.

Watching his health bar drop rapidly, Qin Han immediately commanded, "Bind the Witch Poison Pearl."

["Witch Poison Pearl binding successful."]

Witch Poison Pearl: Unique Treasure.

Feeds on witch poison, the bane of all witch toxins in the world.

Simultaneously, The Witch Poison Pearl emitted a protective aura around Qin Han, halting his HP loss instantly.

["Detected lethal poison. Witch Poison Pearl automatically absorbing."]

["Detected witchcraft. Witch Poison Pearl automatically absorbing."]

The entire room's poisonous energy surged toward the pearl like swallows returning to their nest.

The vengeful spirits shrieked miserably as they, too, were absorbed by the pearl.

Within ten seconds, everything fell silent.

The Witch Poison Pearl's attributes had evolved once more.

Witch Poison Pearl: Unique Treasure.

Feeds on witch poison, the bane of all witch toxins in the world.

Attacks inflict 200 poison damage per second for 10 seconds.

Skill: Soul Accumulation Technique (Witchcraft. Absorbs the resentment of slain creatures and can be actively released during attacks.)

At the same time, a world announcement was broadcast once again:

["Congratulations to player Qin Han for achieving the first kill of the special boss Ancient Witch Queen. Reward: 2 Heavenly Dao Points."]

["Congratulations to player Qin Han for obtaining a Unique Treasure. Reward: 2 Heavenly Dao Points."]

Meanwhile, across the Myriad Realms, All players in Beginner's Villages were once again disheartened.

Some who had been diligently grinding monsters to level up even lost motivation entirely.

"How is this fair? I’ve been working so hard to level up, and I haven’t even dropped a single piece of equipment. Yet here he is, getting Unique Treasures one after another. I quit! Going back to the village to sleep!"

"Just who is this Qin Han? Why does he get all the rewards? Is he the Creator God’s favorite or something?"

In Beginner's Village y120131, The Woman in White parted her lips slightly, murmuring in astonishment, "This Qin Han is even more impressive than I imagined. If given the chance, I’d truly like to befriend him."

Inside the wooden hut, Qin Han was overjoyed.

As expected of a Unique Treasure—this life-risking effort wasn’t in vain!

Moreover, the Witch Poison Pearl alone rewarded him with 2 Heavenly Dao Points, proving its extraordinary value.

After all, as the game progressed, players would encounter increasingly unpredictable threats like curses and exotic poisons.

A single misstep could spell doom.

Just moments ago, even with prior precautions, Qin Han had nearly fallen under the Ancient Witch Queen's hypnotic spell. This was only a level 10 boss—had it been stronger, the outcome might have been entirely different.

With the Witch Poison Pearl, not only did he gain an additional offensive tool, but all things related to the Witch Poison faction would no longer pose a threat to him. Moreover, once he absorbed enough Witch Poison energy, his offensive capabilities would further expand. In the late game, the mere collateral damage from the Witch Poison Pearl alone would be enough to give even the Supreme Deities a hard time.

The deadly poison outside had been completely absorbed by the Witch Poison Pearl, restoring the courtyard to silence. Qin Han stepped out of the hut.

The spot where the Ancient Witch Queen had fallen was charred black, her body reduced to ashes. However, the scorched ground was now littered with dropped loot.

First, a pile of Gold Coins caught his eye—easily 10,000 in total.

Qin Han burst into laughter.

"First kill on a special boss is insane! The drop rate is unreal!"

These were Gold Coins!

One Gold Coin equaled 100 Silver Coins.

One Silver Coin equaled 1,000 Copper Coins.

In the game, regular monsters had abysmal drop rates. Killing a thousand Wild Bulls wouldn’t even yield a single Silver Coin.

The most common way to earn currency was by selling monster corpses or gathering resources like wild ores.

During the beginner phase, most players didn’t have spatial backpacks—even the ones sold in shops were extremely rare.

So, the average player had to rely on manual labor to transport slain monsters or treasures back to the Beginner's Village.

Take the Wild Bulls at the village entrance, for example.

Hauling a whole carcass back and selling it to the village butcher would only net 100 Copper Coins per bull.

Factoring in transport time, even grinding all day wouldn’t earn much.

In his past life, even during the late beginner phase, the top players across all realms would be considered elite if they had 1,000 Gold Coins on them.

Most players only carried a handful of Gold Coins at best.

And now, on the very first day of the game?

10,000 Gold Coins?

That was beyond his wildest dreams!!!

"Collect Gold Coins!"

With a crisp clink, the satisfying sound of coins piling up rang out—so pleasant it could make ears swoon.

Too satisfying.

Qin Han couldn’t help but squint, tempted to toss the coins on the ground just to pick them up again.

But in the end, he restrained himself.

"Just a few Gold Coins, no big deal! Really, no big deal!"

Suppressing his impulse, he turned his attention to the remaining items.

On the charred ground lay three pieces of equipment:

A pitch-black leather armor.

A pair of pitch-black leather pants.

A pair of pitch-black leather boots.

Had they not been faintly glowing, he might have overlooked them.

Picking them up one by one, he inspected them—and his face lit up with joy again.

Ancient Leather Armor: Dark Gold-grade equipment.

Defense: 100, Poison Resistance: 100, Curse Resistance: 100, Lightning Resistance: 100, Stealth +1, Night Vision

Constitution Requirement:

Ancient Leather Pants: Dark Gold-grade equipment.

Defense: 100, Poison Resistance: 100, Curse Resistance: 100, Lightning Resistance: 100, Stealth +1, Night Vision

Constitution Requirement:

Ancient Leather Boots: Dark Gold-grade equipment.

Defense: 100, Poison Resistance: 100, Curse Resistance: 100, Lightning Resistance: 100, Stealth +1, Night Vision

Constitution Requirement:

Note: This equipment belongs to the Ancient Assassin Set, left behind by assassins who failed to kill the Ancient Witch Queen. Collecting the full set will unlock additional set effects.

Qin Han nodded. In the Game of Eternal Life, aside from special equipment, most requirements were based on Constitution points. Compared to heavy armor, these leather pieces had much lower Constitution demands, allowing even a level-zero player like him to equip them effortlessly.

Once he donned the gear, he immediately felt the difference. The combined three-point Night Vision effect from the three pieces sharpened his sight in the darkness, allowing him to see farther and clearer. The three-point Stealth Effect made his body feel lighter, and despite the faint glow of the clothes on the ground, they emitted no light when worn—perfect for nighttime movement.

As for the Defense Attribute, it was equally impressive. One point of defense could block one point of attack power. Unless the opponent had armor-piercing equipment, attacks would deal almost no damage if they failed to break through his defense—unless they targeted his unprotected vital spots like the head.

The Poison Resistance, Lightning Resistance, and Curse Resistance were also remarkable. The three pieces combined provided 300 points of resistance, meaning attacks involving curses, lightning, or deadly poison below 300 points wouldn’t even scratch his health. Even if they exceeded 300, only the excess damage would count.

The only regret was that he hadn’t obtained the full Ancient Assassin Set—otherwise, his stats could have reached even greater heights.
