When the four heard Xu Yuan's words, their spirits immediately lifted. In their eyes, Xu Yuan's perceived uselessness couldn't possibly judge the quality of this item.
After all, even the iron equipment Xu Yuan considered unremarkable was still valuable. And this zombie piglins was holding a golden sword in its hand!
But they didn't realize that what Xu Yuan was saying was truly useless! golden armmor and weapons in this game world were practically worthless, making the golden sword no different.
"Stop the others first. Ahao, you take the first kill" Xu Yuan instructed, signaling the others to hold back. Ken and Xu Yuan had already received the first kill reward"land deeds"so now it was Ahao's turn to claim his.
Ahao nodded happily and prepared himself. Soon, he launched an attack, and a zombie pig spirit fell under his strike.
*[Congratulations to player [Ahao] for obtaining the first blood of zombie piglin! in whole server]*
The announcement instantly caused a stir in the world channel.
"Whoa, what's a zombie piglin?!"
"Is there a new boss again?!"
"Probably not a boss, just Ahao and Ken messing around with Steve recently."
"So, zombie piglin are monsters from hell?"
"More kills mean more rewards, after all."
"Curious why Steve didn't take the first kill himself.."
Following the system notification, five gold coins and a land deed appeared in Ahao's backpack.
"Hey, do you have the deed?" Xu Yuan asked.
Ahao nodded, then handed over the land deed and the five gold coins to Xu Yuan.
Xu Yuan accepted the land deed but did not accept the gold coins.
"Keep the money" he said.
Ahao looked at Ken, who simply lifted his chin and nodded, indicating he could decide for himself.
Still, Ahao handed the gold coins to Xu Yuan. "Boss Steve, if you hadn't brought us here, I wouldn't have gotten the first kill. I want to use this money to do the most good for everyone."
Seeing this, Xu Yuan no longer hesitated and smiled. "Alright, I'll accept the deposit for your diamond armor."
Hearing this, Xiaoyu and Ngawang immediately looked envious.
"Boss, next me!"
"Boss, don't favor anyone!promise us we'll all get a diamond set!"
Ken's team suddenly felt a twinge of jealousy, but they quickly adjusted their mindset.
The four of them worked diligently to prepare for the next attack. A zombie piglin had 40 health points. With iron swords in hand, it took about six hits to bring it down.
Meanwhile, Xu Yuan's side equipped a diamond sword plus an intermediate undead hunter talent, which tripled damage output. Two strikes were enough to kill a zombie piglins.
When the others saw Xu Yuan's powerful attack, they were stunned.
"Boss Steve! your sword is so strong?!"
"Damn, we have to hit 6-7 times, but you only need two?!"
"Boss, if you keep this up, you promised us a diamond set too, right?"
Xiaoyu, A Hao, and Ngawang had fully accepted Xu Yuan's leadership. Calling him "boss" felt natural now.
Xu Yuan chuckled. "This weapon isn't very powerful. It only deals 8 damage! just a bit stronger than your iron swords. But with my medal's bonus, it deals triple damage to undead creatures."
The others gasped in surprise.
"Triple damage!?!"
"Boss, your medal is so awesome!"
"The diamond sword looks cool, but it only hurts a little more than an iron sword, right?"
Ken then looked at Xu Yuan and asked, "This medal is for killing 1000 zombies, right?"
"Yeah" Xu Yuan replied, waving his sword. "Next level is to kill 10,000 undead creatures."
Hearing this, the four exchanged glances. The number was daunting!100 was manageable, but 10,000? That seemed nearly impossible. Only Xu Yuan seemed to have the means to upgrade the medal quickly.
Soon, all the zombie piglins outside were defeated by Xu Yuan's team. Fortunately, several items burst from the monsters: two gold ingots, three gold nugget, and a golden sword.
Gold ingots had a low drop rate, so everyone was excited to see them.
Ken's team cheered loudly.
"Wow, we can get gold just by hitting these?!"
"The golden sword burst out too!!!"
"Wait@ the golden sword only has 4 attack points?!"
Everyone realized why Xu Yuan had said the sword was useless!it was comparable to a wooden sword.
"Bah! This broken thing" someone cursed.
"No wonder the boss said it was useless!"
"Can this thing be turned into gold coins?" someone wondered aloud.
After dismantling the protective barrier, they noticed a pig spirit still standing in front of them, unscathed.
Suddenly, their nerves tensed. Xu Yuan focused his gaze and saw that what appeared before them was not a zombie piglin, but a different piglin altogether.
