Assassin at Range: The Sniper's Lethal Power-Chapter 102 - : Arrival at Sonar City

News spreads faster than you’d think.

Tristan halted his leveling plans and returned to Davi City to use the teleportation portal to head to Sonar City. Along the way, he noticed several teams heading back in the same direction. These were the first-tier players who had left the beginner village after reaching level 10, all heavy internet users. The only thing that could pull them away from leveling was a BOSS.

Dark Gold Grade BOSSes are tough to fight. Even players who’ve completed their first class advancement would struggle to break their defenses. But with their levels up, plus better equipment and skills, using a strategy of overwhelming numbers can wear them down.

It seemed DarkSaber was planning to do just that.

And, of course, other guilds had the same idea.

One could predict that this Dark Gold Grade BOSS would spark a fierce battle. Normally, that would be the case. But today was different. Tristan was here, so the other players wouldn’t stand a chance. With his current damage output, just two skills from him would deal 50% of the necessary damage, and he’d secure the loot all for himself.

As he was on his way back to town, Tristan kept in contact with Drake, exchanging the latest intel. From the looks of it, DarkSaber had made ample preparations for this BOSS fight. Not only had he bought a large amount of potions, but he had also offered ShieldBreaker a whopping 80 million gold to buy his Guild Token. The idea was to quickly organize a raid group to deal the decisive blow and claim the loot.

When Tristan heard this, he couldn’t help but click his tongue.

DarkSaber was really putting his money where his mouth was.

This Dark Gold Grade BOSS wasn’t like Bonecrusher, which had been upgraded to Dark Gold via a death ritual. This one had leveled up naturally and would likely be high-level. Even if DarkSaber managed to kill it, the loot wouldn’t be useful to him immediately. Spending 80 million on gear that’s temporarily useless takes guts.

But Tristan had to admit, DarkSaber’s decision made sense.

If he could secure that Guild Token for 80 million, it’d be a huge win. Not only would DarkSaber gain the title of being the first guild in ExoGenesis, but his team would also have an advantage in terms of damage during the BOSS fight. It was a two-for-one deal.

Unfortunately, DarkSaber wouldn’t succeed.

If he could think of this, the other guild leaders surely could too, and they’d probably offer the same price or even higher. ShieldBreaker wasn’t stupid, and he understood the value of sitting back and letting the competition push up the price.

As Tristan was mulling this over, he got a message from ShieldBreaker: "Big Boss, DarkSaber offered me 80 million. What do you think? Should I sell?"

As a regular person, ShieldBreaker was definitely tempted by the 80 million offer. He almost agreed. After all, how many people could make that kind of money? Even if it meant breaking his agreement with Blackshade, he could always delete his account and quit the game to enjoy the money.

But deep down, ShieldBreaker had another idea.

Apart from Blackshade’s first kill of the Dark Gold BOSS, this BOSS appearing in Sonar City was, in some ways, the first official Dark Gold BOSS, and it would surely spark a guild scramble for it. To better claim the loot, organizing a raid was essential. The Guild Token in his hands would only rise in value!

Plus, after DarkSaber made his 80 million offer, several guild leaders who had previously contacted him followed suit with offers that were equally impressive. This was clearly not the end.

The reason ShieldBreaker was asking Blackshade was to get a response, a confirmation.

Tristan knew exactly what ShieldBreaker was thinking, so his reply was simple: "That Guild Token will go for no less than 200 million."

ShieldBreaker now knew where he stood. He also felt a little stunned. Could a game item really sell for that kind of outrageous price? But since Big Boss said so, he figured it was worth a shot.

"Thanks, I’ve got it now," ShieldBreaker replied.

After some casual chatting, Tristan arrived back at Davi City and immediately stepped into the teleportation portal. Due to the distance, the teleportation cost him a hefty two gold coins! Even though Tristan had over 200 gold to spare, it still stung.

For most players, this would be unthinkable. Though the gold price had dropped slightly, it still stood at a conversion rate of 1 copper coin to 3 USD. Two gold coins worked out to about 50-60 thousand yuan—practically robbery!

Many players immediately turned around.

Who cared about a Dark Gold BOSS? They’d rather stick to leveling.

But there were also those who had plenty of cash to spare. They paid the fee without a second thought and headed off to Sonar City.

Sonar City was bustling with activity.

The city, full of maritime vibes, was teeming with players. If they met someone they knew, the first question was always, "Where’s the BOSS?"

Tristan saw a lot of players with similar ID formats. The major guilds were all gathering here, including IFA.

Although Drake knew that Blackshade had already pretty much claimed this BOSS, he still sent some of his guild members to Sonar City. His plan was simple: they wouldn’t be able to beat Blackshade to the BOSS kill. Blackshade’s damage output had been ridiculously high before, and now, at level 17, it was even more formidable.

So, instead of fighting for the BOSS, Drake’s goal was to support Blackshade. Once Blackshade made his move, Shadow Legion would definitely back him up. This wasn’t about gaining favor to secure more gear later—it was about fairness! DarkSaber trying to monopolize the kill had to be condemned.

Drake scanned the area and quickly spotted a familiar figure. He jogged over with his team: "Blackshade."

Tristan acknowledged him with a nod and casually said, "Just came to check things out."

After a brief exchange, Drake seemed to have received some news and asked, "Found the BOSS location. Should we head over now?"

Tristan nodded. "Lead the way."

The group left the city and headed straight for the coast. Tristan quickly deduced what kind of BOSS they were dealing with.

It was part of the "sea tribe."

This was a general term for all creatures living in the sea, calling themselves descendants of the Sea God. More specifically, this encompassed many sub-races such as mermen, lobster-men, tidal giants, nagas, siren sea monsters, and so on.

While a few of these races were friendly, most of them considered land-dwelling creatures their enemies.

Tristan had a vague feeling that Dark Horizon might be involved. The goblins had appeared in Davi City, and now a Dark Gold Grade BOSS was showing up in Sonar City. Could Dark Horizon be working behind the scenes, attempting to unleash the sea tribe to attack Sonar City?

Though there wasn’t enough information, Tristan felt there was a strong possibility.

If they managed to take down this Dark Gold Grade BOSS and bring its head back to Sonar City, it could earn them favor with the city’s ruler.

After finding the Shadow Prism in Davi City’s vault, Tristan couldn’t help but wonder what kind of surprises Sonar City had in store for him.

He couldn’t wait.
