Chapter 66: Golden light filled the ground, and a large number of sets of equipment appeared.
The Corpse Nest Spider Queen's enormous body convulsed violently from the backlash of its own venom, and finally collapsed in despair.
The massive flesh and blood body deflated silently the moment it came into contact with the fungal carpet, just like a punctured water bag.
next second.
A blinding light burst forth from beneath the spider mother's corpse, like a sun being cast onto a calm lake.
Golden light, purple light, blue light... countless beams of light shot into the sky, so dense that they illuminated the entire dark underground cavern as if it were daytime.
The torrent of light lasted for less than two seconds before receding like the tide, leaving behind... a carpet of equipment.
Countless pieces of equipment, scrolls, materials, and treasure chests were spread out in a fan shape, centered on the spot where the Spider Mother had fallen, completely covering the purplish-black fungal carpet.
The heavy aura unique to those dark gold items is enough to dazzle people.
Lei Zhan and the members of the seventh squad behind him were all frozen in place.
They've seen bosses drop loot, witnessed massive drops, and even seen miraculously lucky players pull out mythical equipment.
But they had never seen anything like it before.
"My...eyes..." The young member of the Eighth Squad rubbed his eyes, then rubbed them again. The scene before him didn't disappear; instead, it became clearer as his eyes adjusted to the light. "Am I hallucinating?"
No one answered him.
Because everyone had lost the ability to speak. Lei Zhan's mouth was open, his Adam's apple bobbing up and down, but he couldn't make a sound.
His dark gold shield, which had witnessed countless fierce battles, was now forgotten beside him. The scratches on the shield surface looked rather plain against the backdrop of the golden light on the ground.
"What are you standing there for?"
Xiao Qianyu's voice broke the deathly silence. She tapped Zhao Leiguang's heavy armor with the barrel of her gun. He was squatting on the ground, trying to dig a path through a pile of dark gold equipment.
"I told you, times have changed." Zhao Lei chuckled, casually picking up a shimmering, dark gold breastplate and tossing it towards Lei Zhan without even looking at it. "Team Leader Lei, catch! A Spider Queen specialty, poison-resistant plate armor, Grade A!"
Lei Zhan instinctively reached out and caught it.
The chest armor felt cold and heavy upon contact with his hand, and the attribute panel automatically popped up. Perfect stats, extremely high base armor, and a rare minor effect that converts poison absorption into health. This piece of equipment was enough to elevate the main tank's strength to a whole new level.
But now, this piece of equipment, which could make an A-level guild fight tooth and nail, is being thrown at us like a roadside stone.
"This..." Lei Zhan looked at the breastplate in his hand, then at the sea of equipment beneath his feet, where there was almost nowhere to step, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.
"Keep it." Xiao Qianyu walked over. Her expression was relatively calm, but the lingering turmoil in her eyes betrayed her. "The purpose of this trip is to upgrade your team's equipment."
As she spoke, she quickly operated on her personal terminal, generating a simplified list of loot and a distribution plan.
"Three sets of Grade A Dark Gold armor: [Venom Walker], [Spider Assassin], and [Creeping Guardian]. You can check the stats yourselves and distribute them as needed later."
"Twelve sets of B-grade armor are available for each class."
"One hundred and thirty-seven unique gold items and twenty-one epic gold items."
Every number Xiao Qianyu reported was like a heavy hammer blow to the hearts of the members of the seventh and eighth squads.
They'd done raids before, risking their lives to defeat a boss, and if the whole raid could get three or five unique items, they were already incredibly lucky.
What now?
The unit for measuring the quantity of legendary equipment has changed from "pieces" to "hundreds".
"Take an inventory. Put on the ones that suit you. Register and report those whose professions don't match, and we'll send them back to headquarters for unified allocation." Xiao Qianyu gave the order, her tone leaving no room for doubt. "Seventh and Eighth Squads have priority. You are the guests, so choose first."
"No, no need..." Lei Zhan snapped out of his daze and waved his hands repeatedly. "We...we just cleared out a few small monsters, we didn't do anything, how can we take it..."
"Just take it, I told you to." Zhao Leiguang squeezed through the pile of equipment and slapped Lei Zhan on the shoulder. "We're all brothers, what's with the formalities? Besides, how will you keep up with us if you don't get better gear?"
Although the words are crude, the principle is sound.
Lei Zhan looked at the monsters in the first squad who hadn't even breathed a sigh of relief, then looked down at the equipment on his own squad members that was clearly a generation behind, and finally stopped refusing.
"...Okay." He nodded heavily, his voice a little hoarse. "Everyone, take only what you need, register it, and don't be greedy!"
For a moment, the open space was filled with the faint mechanical sounds of various equipment being changed and the sounds of energy activation.
The members of the seventh and eighth squads, with an almost dreamlike expression on their faces, carefully picked up the top-tier equipment that they had only heard of in legends before, and replaced their old "buddies" that they had used for many years.
The atmosphere gradually shifted from initial shock to barely suppressed ecstasy.
"Captain! This [Venom Fang] weapon has a critical hit mana regeneration effect! I... I'll never have to worry about running out of mana again!"
"Team Leader Lei, look at this! The [Lush Guardian] set, a four-piece set bonus, restores 5% of your health per second when standing on creep terrain! Isn't this tailor-made for this dungeon?"
Lei Zhan also equipped himself with an A-grade dark gold shield, whose base defense value was significantly higher than that of his legendary shield. He could feel an unprecedentedly powerful force surging within him.
He looked into the distance.
Xiao Qianyu was distributing something with the members of the first team, while Shen Xinglin and Wen Yue all had smiles on their faces.
Lu Yan, the assistant who had remained an outsider throughout, stood with his hands behind his back at the edge of the open space, studying the glowing moss on the wall with great interest, as if this treasure trove, which could drive any awakened being mad, had nothing to do with him.
Lei Zhan took a deep breath and strode over.
"Brother Lu Yan." He stood in front of Lu Yan, his expression solemn.
Lu Yan turned around, glanced at him, and then looked at the brand-new, still shimmering gear he was wearing. "It fits well."
"I..." Lei Zhan opened his mouth, all the doubts, contempt, and wariness from before now turned into heavy shame. "I was wrong before, and I apologize to you for my previous words and actions."
After saying that, he bowed to Lu Yan as a gesture of apology.
Behind him, the members of the seventh and eighth squads, who had just changed into their gear, also stopped what they were doing and spontaneously followed their captain, bowing deeply to the young man they had been ignoring.
This time, I'm completely convinced.
Lu Yan accepted the apology readily. He helped Lei Zhan up: "It was all for improving combat power, there's no right or wrong. Get ready, it's time to meet the BOSS."
Half an hour later, everyone's equipment was updated.
The team of thirty was completely transformed. The seventh and eighth squads, in particular, had upgraded their equipment, with each member wearing at least three new pieces of rare, high-tier gear, significantly increasing their overall strength.
