Flame Potion

In a brief moment, Jiang Han's post soared to the top, exploding with popularity, and a bunch of people made sarcastic comments.

Second floor (Clear Sky): I have already lodged a complaint with the official "Eternal" authorities. Prepare for your demise!

Third floor (Heaven Moves All Things): You're really good at pretending. When top-notch experts come after you, you'll be crying!

Fourth floor (Old Tree Root): Hehe, what the big brother above said is true. In simple terms, no matter how powerful the BOSS is, players will still kill it...

...

"It seems a bit inflated."

After a while, Jiang Han finally calmed his excited emotions.

At this stage of the game, while other players were struggling for bronze and silver equipment, he already had a full set of gold with dark gold, and even his weapon was of spiritual grade. Anyone would be thrilled in his shoes.

Low-key?

Non-existent.

Due to the Bright Camp's bounty, he was practically becoming a public enemy on the entire server. Low-key was absolutely unnecessary. It might be better to go the other way, increase visibility, and the next time there's an event, record a video to prevent the officials from taking all the profits.

"Oh right, there's still this thing unused." Jiang Han took out a liquid from his inventory, resembling molten lava, but clear and red.

The Flame Potion seemed to be an item Tro used to break through dark gold level. It provided free attribute points, and...

He even got two bottles!

"The side effects are quite apparent, once triggered, it might end up costing me..." Jiang Han hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and drank it.

To be honest, the side effects of the Flame Potion were evident. If it was a 100% reduction in fire elemental resistance, he definitely wouldn't drink it, but a 20% chance wasn't high, worth a gamble.

"Gurgle..."

After finishing one bottle, Jiang Han suddenly felt heat surging through his body, his face turning red and purple. The temperature of his blood skyrocketed, as if it was about to boil, making strange sounds.

Two minutes later, the heat slowly subsided.

"Ding!~"

System prompt: Unfortunately, by taking the Flame Potion, you gain +10 free attribute points, but your fire elemental resistance is reduced by 10%!

"..."

Jiang Han was speechless.

So unlucky?

However, the next second, the system notification rang again.

"Ding!~"

System prompt: The Dark Swordsman has mastered the power of Black Flame, granting you immunity to the reduction in fire elemental resistance!

"Hiss..."

Jiang Han took in a sharp breath.

The Dark Swordsman, truly a divine existence!

"Mastered the power of Black Flame?" Jiang Han pondered, "Is it because my level isn't high enough to trigger it, or have I not attempted to activate it, hence it hasn't manifested?"

With this in mind, he raised his right hand, aimed it at a nearby tree, and lightly exclaimed, "The power of Black Flame hidden within me, come forth!"

"Whoosh..."

The wind passed by, leaving no trace.

In Jiang Han's imagined scene, there should have been a pitch-black flame soaring into the sky, a destructive force piercing the sky, astonishing all living beings on the Eternal Continent.

It seemed that indeed, the level wasn't high enough, sparing this tree's life.

It had to be said, it was very lucky.

Taking out the Flame Potion again, Jiang Han chugged it down in one go.

"Ding!~"

System prompt: Unfortunately, by taking the Flame Potion, you gain +10 free attribute points, but your fire elemental resistance is reduced by 10%!

Soon, the system notified him that, due to the Dark Swordsman, the reduction in fire elemental resistance was nullified.

"This probability... is too realistic."

Once believed that "Eternal" wouldn't adopt the probabilities found in certain trash games, Jiang Han sighed.

Indeed, he was too naive and kind.

Adding another 20 free attribute points to attack, Jiang Han's attack increased once again.

After handling all the spoils of this battle, Jiang Han returned to the Ghost Marsh and Cheryl had already returned from the Merit District, waiting for him.

"Yi Jiang Han Shui, you did not disappoint your mentor." Seeing Jiang Han safely return, Cheryl sighed in relief. "I never expected the Demon God's Evil Curse·Lorelei to descend on the Ice and Snow Town through a summoning scroll..."

"I've fulfilled my duty."

Jiang Han didn't say much. Speaking too much would lead to mistakes.

About the Demon God descending on the Ice and Snow Town, there was an announcement to remind everyone, and it couldn't be concealed. However, to outsiders, they would only think that he and Lorelei belonged to the Dark Camp, so there was no trouble.

"Very well."

Cheryl expressed satisfaction. "It seems that in the future, under conditions where the rules are not restricted, if there is any treasure to be given away, I should consider your situation. This time, I miscalculated."

He thought that Jiang Han attacking a third-level town wouldn't need a summoning scroll.

"The development of the situation has exceeded my expectations, Mentor, you don't need to worry about it." Jiang Han smiled.

Although it was a game plot, if the summoning scroll hadn't attracted the Demon God, would Herbert have been scared away, and would the Sword God have intervened?

Using a more suitable phrase, would the system allow the Sword God to intervene?

Everything was unknown.

Perhaps the summoning scroll was indeed his lifeline, and he happened to grasp it.

"Now it's time to head to the Demon God's Treasury." Cheryl suggested, "Should we depart immediately, or..."

"Let's take a short rest first."

"Okay."

...

Removing his helmet, Jiang Han checked his phone. It was three o'clock in the afternoon. Fortunately, he had anticipated that the siege battle would be time-consuming, so he only had breakfast at nine in the morning. Otherwise, with an empty stomach, it would greatly affect his condition.

He ordered takeaway, checked the forum for useful information, and after some thought, he searched for the keyword "Flame Demon," immediately bringing up many relevant posts.

In the game, there were thief professions with stealth skills. Even in high-level danger zones, as long as the situation allowed, some people would explore, specifically looking for items like treasure chests that could be obtained without killing.

"In Suzaku City..."

After browsing, Jiang Han confirmed the location.

The Flame Demon Helmet was part of a dark gold set, and he was certainly interested in collecting the whole set. The equipment description mentioned the Flame Demon creature, indicating a high probability that the set dropped from Flame Demons.

"Speaking of which, Suzaku City has been captured by the Dark Camp, right? Are the creatures inside the city considered allies to me?" Jiang Han rubbed his chin. "Just don't know if players from the first-level main city can enter..."

In less than a quarter of an hour, the takeaway arrived. Jiang Han quickly finished his meal, logged in, and once again appeared in the Ghost Marsh.

Cheryl timely emerged from the concealed mist, inquiring, "Is it okay now?"

"Yeah."

Jiang Han nodded. "Please lead the way, Mentor."

"Follow me."

Turning around, Cheryl walked towards the depths of the Dark Camp.

Seeing this, Jiang Han followed closely behind.

"Mentor, when can I learn the riding skill?" On the way, Jiang Han asked curiously.

It's worth noting that knights can ride mounts. It's not that non-knights can't ride mounts, but knights get bonuses for riding mounts. If non-knights ride mounts, they won't have as many knight-specific mount bonuses as knights riding mounts.
