The bandit leader's attack became even more hesitant.
On the other side, led by Zhang Pingfan, the number of ordinary bandits was gradually decreasing, while the number of players did not decrease due to death. Instead, more and more players were rushing over from the新手村 (xinshou cun - beginner's village).
Zhang Pingfan finally experienced the joy of being a player.
"I entered the game just to fight monsters and level up. But fate played a trick on me, making me an NPC in the game. And if this continues, I'll have to keep upgrading my village. I want to fight monsters, I want to get equipment, I want to be a happy player. So, Zhang Pingfan was having a blast."
As time passed, the bandits were almost completely cleared out.
As a level 20 Gold Boss, the bandit leader's health had dropped to only 40% under Dou Youyou's "赖皮" (laipi - shameless/cheeky) fighting style.
Seeing his brothers about to be wiped out, the bandit leader let out a skyward roar!
[Ding! System prompt: Level 20 Gold Boss, Bandit Leader, has entered a berserk state. In this state, the Bandit Leader's defense will decrease by 50%, and attack power will increase by 200%, lasting for one minute!]
Upon hearing this system prompt, Dou Youyou didn't even have time to react before she was kicked flying by the bandit leader. Dou Youyou, with full health, dropped to critical health instantly but was immediately healed back to full by a mobile spring.
"Damn, is a berserk Gold Boss really this fierce?"
"Youyou is rank one on three lists! Ordinary wild monsters can't even break her defense. She didn't lose this much health before berserking!"
"Everyone be careful! Ranged professions, attack the bandit leader!"
Zhao Xin shouted, and the ranged players all attacked the boss. However, their attacks didn't even chip away at its health.
"It's no use, our level difference is too great, we can't even break its defense!"
"It's not just the level difference. We're not even level 10, while it's level 20. We can't do anything, we have to rely on Miss Youyou!"
Dou Youyou stood up with a determined look. That kick had really hurt. Everyone's gaze turned to Dou Youyou; currently, she was the only one on the field who could withstand the boss's attacks.
At this moment, Zhang Pingfan walked over.
"Youyou, why aren't you using the skill Xiao Hei gave you? I remember you have a Heaven-grade skill!"
"Heaven-grade skill? Village Chief, don't joke around. We're all using beginner skills now. Heaven-grade skills are like fairy tales!"
"Heaven-grade skill? The official description says it's a very powerful skill. Players can usually only learn beginner, intermediate, and advanced skills. Lucky ones might learn Earth-grade skills, and those with incredibly good luck might even get their hands on a Mystic-grade skill. As for Heaven-grade skills, the official introduction states they are extremely rare. Does Miss Youyou already have one?"
Everyone's attention once again focused on Dou Youyou.
Dou Youyou said, "That skill is a kill skill. When a monster or boss's health drops below 10%, it can directly execute them!"
"Holy cow, is this a Heaven-grade skill? That's too terrifying!"
"There really are Heaven-grade skills!"
"My god, the officials said they were extremely rare, I never expected one to appear in our beginner village already!"
Dou Youyou nodded, "It's alright. I have four Mystic-grade skills, so having one Heaven-grade skill shouldn't be too much, right?"
"Damn, are you trying to make us not want to live anymore?"
"Are we playing the same game? Does the Village Chief still take disciples? Even nominal ones are fine, or I can be your servant or subordinate, as long as you give me a Mystic-grade skill!"
Zhang Pingfan said with disdain, "Get lost, get lost. Don't look at me with such sycophancy, it makes me feel like I'm going to... you know!"
While they were talking, the bandit leader had already charged towards them.
Ye Xiaofan looked at the axe in his hand and, without hesitation, threw it directly at the bandit leader.
"Youyou, leave the final blow to you!"
Zhang Pingfan knew that his axe wouldn't finish it, but he could cripple it.
The bandit leader, seeing Zhang Pingfan's axe flying towards him, didn't dodge. Instead, he reached out with his hand to catch it. However, Zhang Pingfan's weapon was not so easily caught.
With a crunch, the bandit leader's entire arm was cleanly severed. His health, which was at 40%, immediately dropped to 10%.
"Awesome!!!"
"Village Chief 666!"
"When the Village Chief makes a move, he finishes anyone!"
"The Village Chief is truly amazing. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been so easy for us to defeat this level 20 Gold Boss!"
At this moment, Dou Youyou's clear shout came from beside him.
"Heaven-grade skill, Netherworld Profound Fire Barrage!"
"Boom!!!"
A huge explosion occurred, with black flames burning fiercely. As a level 20 Gold Boss, the bandit leader was utterly annihilated in this explosion, leaving no remains.
[Ding! System prompt: Congratulations to player Dou Youyou for being the first player to successfully defeat a level 20 Gold Boss! Reward: 10 gold coins!]

The entire server was in an uproar.
"Damn, isn't that the disciple of Village Chief 88? She can already defeat a level 20 Gold Boss?"
"Terrifying!"
"As expected, like master, like disciple!"
Zhang Pingfan walked to where the boss had died, looking at the scattered loot with satisfaction. During the last beast tide, they had also picked up quite a bit of equipment, but most of it was white and green grade. As for the better blue-grade equipment, many players kept it in their warehouses, not planning to take it out until level 10 to sell in larger cities. This time, lucky players also picked up some equipment, while unlucky ones at least got a lot of experience.
Seeing the loot scattered everywhere, many players couldn't help but step forward, wanting to transfer it into their backpacks.
Zhang Pingfan coldly shouted, "Anyone who dares to take another step will never be allowed to stay in my village!"
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone stopped in their tracks. However, their eyes were filled with longing, as among the equipment, one piece was emitting a jade-green glow. The other few pieces were also emitting golden light.
"Village Chief, this was the result of all our efforts. Shouldn't we get a share of it?"
Zhang Pingfan turned around and looked at the player with a cold sneer.
"Youyou, pick up all the items. Anyone who dares to say another word, I'll kill them!"
