Absolute Death Game-Chapter 509 - 9 - Treasures All Over
Watching Xiao Buli descend from the sky, the crowd parted on both sides, keeping their distance from the corpse. Naturally, the task of looting the body was the privilege of the Guild Leader. Moreover, everyone knew that without Xiao Buli's command and mastery of the Little Red Dragon's attributes data, they might never have had the chance to slay the Little Red Dragon in their lifetime.
As Xiao Buli approached the body, he also checked the new title of Dragon Slayer he had acquired.
Dragon Slayer: Obtained after participating in the slaying of a member of the Dragon Clan. Title effect: Immune to Dragon Prestige effects, damage to Dragonline creatures increased by 5%.
This title was far inferior to that of Ancient God Butcher; it was of no use to Xiao Buli, but to the rest of the present, it was quite beneficial. Even a Little Red Dragon, once it exerted its Dragon Prestige effect, generally reduced the attributes of the combatants by about 30%, significantly lowering their combat capability. Facing the Great Red Dragon, that effect would be even more pronounced. With this title, their combat power could at least increase by about half.

Moreover, the additional 5% damage was an extremely useful effect; it could be said that their chances of conquering the Great Red Dragon had increased by at least one-third. This was also one of the reasons why Xiao Buli insisted on slaying the Little Red Dragon before the Great Red Dragon.
Once the cheering gradually subsided, Xiao Buli nodded and gestured to everyone to be quiet, then loudly said, "Well done, everyone. With this experience, I believe the battle to slay the Great Red Dragon shouldn't be too difficult. Now I'm going to open the body. Make sure your guild points are ready."
While speaking, he touched the Red Dragon's corpse, prompting a series of system notifications. Xiao Buli examined each of the Red Dragon's dropped items one by one.
Scarlet Flame Red Dragon's Head (Quest Item): This is the head of a Red Dragon. Possessing it signifies you have the strength to slay a giant dragon, implying you have enough power to establish and protect a nation. Deliver it to the Guardian of the Dragon Pillar in Bahuang Imperial City, and you will receive unexpected honor.
Red Dragon Ball (Inner Core): Use to upgrade a Dragon Bloodline creature by one grade and enhance all its Fire Element skills.
Lava Striker (Silver - Knuckles): Attack power 22-24. Use: Adds the effect of Flame Fist Skills to your knuckles.
Item note: Fire in your hands.
Lava Smasher (Silver - Two-handed Hammer): Attack power 37-64, attack speed -1. There's a chance to create an explosive effect when hitting a target, dealing 40 explosive damage and knocking them back.
Item note: Destroy everything, or destroy oneself.
Blazing Lava Blade (Green - One-handed Sword): Attack power 11-13, fire damage +5.
Item note: The amber-colored blade still emits the scorching breath of molten lava.
Volcano Guard's Staff (Gold - Two-handed Magic Wand): Attack 10-22, Spell Power with Fire Element +20. Use: Summon a Fire Spirit to fight for you.
Item note: Be careful not to burn your hands.
The loot was abundant and of high quality, fitting for the Dragon Clan. Xiao Buli couldn't help but sigh as he looked over the drop list. With the exception of the Dragon Head and Dragon Ball that were useful to him, the other items weren't of much significance to him.
After reviewing the descriptions, Xiao Buli turned to the group and said, "Alright, the Dragon Head can be used to establish a nation. If we fail to kill the Great Red Dragon, it can also be utilized in the interim, so it won't be distributed. The Dragon Ball is useful for my pet, so acting on the MT (Main Tank) priority principle, I'm going to claim it. You guys can bid for the remaining four pieces of equipment."
The remaining four items were all quite exceptional, especially for those who used to be Solo Players and had barely seen any blue-quality gear. Although they had acquired quite a bit of equipment since joining Qingyang Guild and raiding dungeons, silver and even gold-quality gear still seemed unattainable to them.
Instantly, they all began frantically bidding their points, wishing they could bet all the points they had earned over time. However, their attention was mainly focused on the other three items; the green-quality One-handed Sword did not attract much interest. Xiao Buli noticed this too, but as the Guild Leader, he didn't see the need to point this out.
"Guild Leader, what's the deal with that green-quality equipment?" It seemed others had also noticed the situation. A player of the Swordsman Profession couldn't help asking, and everyone immediately stopped what they were doing and waited for Xiao Buli's explanation.
"The green one is a growth weapon," Xiao Buli didn't hide anything and answered all questions. Just after explaining, he noticed He Suoju giving him a murderous look. He immediately understood.
It seemed that He Suoju had his eyes on the sword but didn't have many points. He likely wanted to take advantage of solo players' lack of knowledge about the game to pick up a bargain, but his plan was foiled by Xiao Buli's explanation at this critical moment.
As the leader, Xiao Buli understood that fairness and transparency were three critical elements. He couldn't just favor someone because they were closer to him. That would certainly lead to everyone turning against him in the end. Therefore, he didn't feel too bad and simply ignored He Suoju's gaze. After all, if he didn't say it, someone else would have. There were plenty of Swordman Profession players in the game, and it was just that these solo players were less informed about the game.
Sure enough, once everyone heard that the sword was the legendary growth weapon, those who initially bid furiously on the other three weapons instantly switched targets, throwing all their points into bidding, but He Suoju stopped bidding after seeing this.
"How come? Brother He, why aren't you bidding?" A player close to He Suoju asked curiously, seeing that he didn't move.
He Suoju replied nonchalantly upon hearing the question, "Pfft, why the rush now? Aren't we going to fight the Great Red Dragon? If the Little Red Dragon dropped such good equipment, the Great Red Dragon's loot will only be better. Maybe even Dark Gold equipment. I'll make my move then. What if I run out of points now and don't have any when that happens?"
Hearing this, the crowd hesitated for a moment. A few retracted their bids, but many others just hesitated briefly. As the saying goes, a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush. Not many gave up bidding, and amidst everyone's fervent enthusiasm, the few pieces of equipment were soon auctioned off.
Xiao Buli heard He Suoju's response and initially thought that He was playing a trick, holding others back from bidding to swoop in at the last moment. Now that the auction was over and he had not made a move, Xiao Buli went over and asked, "Do you have that much faith in me?"
"It's not that I have faith in you," He Suoju turned and said, leaving Xiao Buli at a loss for words. No faith? He Suoju paused deliberately after his sentence and then added, "It's that you have faith in yourself. I've noticed that ever since you've returned, you've been confident as if everything is under control. I think defeating the Great Red Dragon is just the first step in your plan. The things you want to do next must be much bigger than this. You're determined to win over this Red Dragon. I'm good at reading people, and I'm not wrong." He finished, patting Xiao Buli on the shoulder with an elder's demeanor.
Xiao Buli was both amused and frustrated, but it was not a bad thing for a subordinate to have confidence in him. Was he acting that confidently? Xiao Buli hadn't noticed, but looking at the Magic Wand in his hand, he thought, with the detailed information provided by this GM Magic Wand, how could he not be confident?
With only four pieces of equipment for a forty-person team, they were hardly enough. After the auction ended, many were reluctant to leave, showing expressions of regret. However, thinking about what He Suoju had said, they began to foster a new hope. Maybe it's a blessing in disguise, and maybe better things were waiting for them. Everyone immediately became invested in the idea of fighting the Great Red Dragon.
Seeing that it was about time, Xiao Buli walked to a higher ground and announced, "Okay, the equipment has been distributed. Let's start dissecting the corpse now. Anyone with a dissection skill level of LV10, step forward."
Seven or eight people came forward instantly. There was no helping it; they were all Hunter Profession players used to dealing with beasts, so their dissection skills were high. This pleased Xiao Buli, who nodded in satisfaction, "Good, start the dissection. But remember, all materials obtained must be handed over. If anyone dares to keep anything for themselves, I won't forgive them. This is crucial for defeating the Great Red Dragon. If I find anyone messing around, don't say I didn't warn you."
Such an incident was unlikely to happen. In normal games, there might be players who would sneak away with materials and leave the Guild, but this was Absolute Death Game. Anyone caught hoarding materials or equipment would be found out and dealt with more severely than being killed in a PvP situation. Besides, with these materials being key to defeating the Great Red Dragon, individuals wanted equipment crafted from them more than the materials themselves.
Thus, a large amount of Dragon Hide, Dragon Sinew, Dragon Bone, Dragon Tooth, Dragon Blood, and Red Dragon Scales quickly gathered in Xiao Buli's hands.
Xiao Buli began to calculate with the materials. The Dragon Scales and Dragon Hide, along with other materials previously collected, were enough to craft four or five sets of Red Dragon Scale Armor, significantly increasing their chances of success.
As for the Dragon Sinew and Dragon Bone, they could be used to make Dragon Bone Bows, which were Silver-grade equipment that would greatly enhance the strength of the Qingyang Guild, which had many Hunters.
Dragon Blood could be made into Elixirs, including Fire Resistance Potions.
This way, both their resistance and attack power would be much higher than when they fought the Little Red Dragon. Moreover, after the battle with the Little Red Dragon, everyone's confidence in Xiao Buli had soared, and he believed they would all charge valiantly into battle, making a pre-battle pep talk unnecessary.
As more varied materials continued to arrive, Xiao Buli marveled at how this dragon was truly a treasure from head to tail. This battle had indeed been a rich haul, and it took about half an hour to completely dissect the Red Dragon, nearly as long as the fight itself.
Looking at everyone, Xiao Buli announced, "Okay, you can all rest for the next two days, hunt Minor Monsters nearby, and strictly follow the time, location, and monster data previously provided. Don't cause any trouble. In these two days, I will arrange for the equipment to be crafted. We will gather promptly at 12 noon the day after tomorrow to begin our assault on the Great Red Dragon."
