Chapter 115 Psychological Game
Upon hearing this, Solitary Beauty, who was standing nearby, thought for a moment before saying, "Less than thirty percent."
Solitary Beauty continued, "The last time we fought Ice King, his resilience put us at a disadvantage. Now, his resilience is likely even higher."
Lone Wanderer's gaze then fell on another person.
"Ambitious Soloist, what about you?"
Ambitious Soloist shook his head. "It's not necessary. The rewards aren't high. With this time, we could break a few dungeon records and still get plenty of rewards. Provoking Ice King now is unwise."
Dungeon records could be refreshed, and the rewards vary based on difficulty.
However, the rewards for refreshing records weren't much. For example, the normal difficulty record gave each member one free attribute point, two points for hard, four points for nightmare, and ten points for hell difficulty.
And each person could only get the clearance reward once; they can't repeatedly get the reward by refreshing the record.
Even so, some people were still obsessed with trying to refresh the clearance records.
After all, tasks that reward free attribute points weren't that clear, but these dungeon records were clear.
Alan was currently farming the Dragon Turtle, clearing it once again.
His health had stacked up by more than three thousand points.
This was because he had slightly paused his attack rhythm.
Otherwise, it would be even lower!
The damage was too high, and the efficiency of stacking health decreased accordingly.
However, Alan thought of something interesting—the dragon gall!
When he was in the novice village, he had obtained Charles's flask, which was said to give unexpected benefits when drinking after adding precious materials.
But Alan's game pace had been too fast recently, causing him to forget about the flask.
Now was the perfect opportunity to test the flask's effects.
One, two, three...
Alan threw in ten dragon galls in one go and began to look forward to it.
What kind of reward would the dragon gall in the wine bring?
[Flask: Auto-brewing.]
[Current progress: 1%.]
Alan glanced at it and estimated that it would take at least half an hour for the brewing to finish.
So, he could clear the Blackwater Lake Dragon Turtle dungeon a few more times to stack more health.
But just then, a figure stepped forward and soon appeared in front of Alan.
The person was none other than Princess Leona.
"Ice King." Meeting Alan again, Princess Leona felt a sense of change. "Does our previous agreement still count?"
Alan smiled noncommittally. "I originally thought I could control the situation, but I underestimated your father Rex's intelligence."
"He treated me like a pawn. Ridiculous!"
Leona didn't know if Alan was mocking her father Rex or mocking himself.
But that didn't matter anymore.
After all, since Leona had come, she naturally had something to say to Alan.
"Ashley is now trapped in the palace altar, constantly losing blood. Only the palace altar can keep her safe," Leona said.
Alan waved his hand. "I don't like beating around the bush. Just say what you want."
"A profit-driven guy like you won't be swayed by straightforward talk." Leona took out a scroll,. "This is a quest scroll, a prerequisite for the Blessing of the Gods. I heard from Ashley that you're looking for this."
"And then?" Alan asked.
"This is now yours." Leona handed the quest scroll directly to Alan.
Alan took the quest scroll and checked the task on it.
[King Rex of Stellaria doesn't want to abdicate and has trapped Ashley in the palace altar. Ashley hopes you can restrain King Rex.]
[Quest requirement: Stop attacking Ashley and use the continuous bleeding method on King Rex of Stellaria until he is killed.]
[Quest penalty: Unknown.]
[Quest reward: Blessing of the Gods +1, Free Attribute Points +1000.]
Alan raised an eyebrow. "Is this Ashley's prerequisite quest scroll for the Blessing of the Gods?"
Leona nodded. "Yes, although I agreed to cooperate with Ashley, such a valuable item must be given to her directly."
"Letting Ashley go and killing King Rex is very risky, and the required attack method is even more outrageous."
Alan didn't immediately accept the quest.
He did need the Blessing of the Gods, but the risk was still too high for him.
In other words, his effort and reward were not proportional.
"It is indeed difficult, so she added a thousand free attribute points, which should be very helpful to you."
Alan smiled and said, "Can you tell me why you chose to cooperate with Ashley?"
He added, "Don't give me the nonsense about King Rex not wanting to abdicate. I believe you saw through it long ago and were prepared."
Leona nodded. "I need someone to be the bait. In Stellaria, we're not the only ones eyeing the throne."
She continued, "In this generation, we're all women, and some foreign ministers have already set their sights on it."
Alan pondered for a moment and said, "If you want my help, how about adding your prerequisite quest scroll for the Blessing of the Gods?"
"That's not possible." Leona shook her head. "But it's up to you. I'm just delivering a message for Ashley. The quest scroll is already given to you. Whether you accept it or not is up to you."
Alan threw the quest scroll back. "Not accepting."
He needed the Blessing of the Gods.
It was crucial for the revival of the ancient Jinse Empire.
He was gambling.
Because if he accepted Ashley's high-risk quest, Leona would know that he desperately needed the Blessing of the Gods, even daring to take on the absurd task of killing Rex.
Seeing Alan throw the quest scroll back, Leona frowned.
"Killing Rex? Don't be ridiculous. In Stellaria, no one dares to say they can kill Rex. This quest is unreasonable," Alan said.
Leona pondered for a moment, staring at Alan before slowly saying, "Really not accepting?"
"Not accepting."
"If you don't accept, I'll leave."
"Go ahead, I'm dungeon farming."
With that, Alan turned and walked toward the Blackwater Lake Dragon Turtle dungeon.
This was a psychological game, and he had to gamble.
Otherwise, if he accepted Ashley's high-risk quest today, Leona might give him an equally high-risk quest tomorrow.
However, even after Alan entered the dungeon, Leona didn't call him back.
'Did I make the wrong bet?' he wondered.
Alan frowned but didn't think much of it.
He cleared the dungeon in less than five minutes.
However, at the dungeon entrance, he saw Leona again.
Leona smiled at Alan and said, "Ice King, you won."
