In another world, Lu Mingfei is learning card making.

"Lu Mingfei, of all the weapons in the world, none surpass your conviction."

...Have you finally gone mad?

"No, I just wanted to chat with you."

Lu Mingfei turned his head slightly, his eyes revealing a natural sense of helplessness. Perhaps he had been holding it in for too long, because every now and then Lu Mingze would mutter a line in his ear—what he called a 'line'—but to Lu Mingfei, it was an indication that he had gone mad.

Right now, they're on the roof of the teaching building, fiddling with the pumpkin heads, skulls, and candy scattered all over the floor—

This is a typical magic circle that you have to assemble yourself; it will be triggered once it is assembled.

Magic was poured in, the materials melted, and the magic circle emitted a huge light—the next moment, enemies attacked.

Pumpkin King

[BOSS] [250/100/10000]

[Ultimate Move: Blade Sweep, Pursuit of Target, Jack's Projectile]

[Blade Sweep: Pumpkin King swings his blade, leaving a trail of flames that damages all enemies in its path.]

[Pursuit: The Pumpkin King attempts to chase its chosen target, a process that cannot be obstructed by physical objects. Once it catches its target, if it cannot escape, it will suffer up to 8 attacks from its blades.]

[Jack's Projectile: Pumpkin King keeps its distance from the target and fires a projectile, dealing damage.]

It looks very ordinary.

Lu Mingfei made this judgment, raised his rifle, and fired a sniper shot.

For an average first-year student, this boss would be extremely difficult to defeat; it might even require several people working together to take it down.

However, it's a different story for Lu Mingfei—two three-star and one four-star fighters are his normal combat strength. He can even fight against second-year students in the arena, so killing a BOSS summoned through a normal magic circle is naturally easy.

"Look, he descends on a cloud, and all eyes are on him..."

After a brief prayer, Lilith leaped into the air, her blade flashing with golden light, and landed on the head of the smirking Pumpkin King.

Ascending Ring Casting - Holy Slash!

A divine power erupted from the Pumpkin King, severing more than half of his magic. Lu Mingfei seized the opportunity, switching his wielding to dual short scythes and retreating instead of advancing.

Soul Severance (Main Weapon) - Azure Penetration (Secondary Weapon), cleaving the shadows!

Increases attack speed and allows for high-speed movement over a short distance. Secondary weapon tip: You can use your secondary weapon to attack marked enemies at any distance, consuming the mark and dealing additional damage.

Tong Bi's bullets rained down like water, forcing the lever-action rifle to fire in a semi-automatic manner until it ran out of ammunition. Lu Mingfei then tossed the weapon aside, and the Pumpkin King in mid-air vanished simultaneously.

Come on, let me see what good stuff it drops...

【Gloomy Wood】

[Type: Material/Ghost/Wood]

[Quality: Excellent (Green)]

[Description: The wood, tainted by the ghosts and monsters of Halloween, has been dyed into an indistinguishable shadow, thus gaining the ability to enhance ghostly creatures.]

[PS: Brave Wood~ Brave Wood~ (you gotta move)]

【Headless Knight's Sword】

[Type: Material/Weapon/Greatsword]

[Quality: Excellent (Blue)]

[Description: A powerful weapon dropped by the Halloween boss. When it hits an enemy, it summons a pumpkin head that automatically tracks the enemy. The pumpkin head deals 1.5 times the damage of the Headless Horseman's Sword.]

[PS: Although it's called the Headless Horseman's Sword, it's usually dropped by the Pumpkin King, not the Headless Horseman.]

Dark Harvest

[Type: Material/Weapon/Whip]

[Quality: Purple Epic]

[Description: A powerful weapon dropped by the Halloween boss. It can attack enemies in any form and inflicts a contagious dark energy upon hitting an enemy. When you attack one enemy with dark energy, all enemies with dark energy will be attacked simultaneously.]

[PS: My meat~ Jerry (but when the lord get ready)~ Brave Wood~]

How to put it? Looking at this PS, Lu Mingfei felt as if he could hear the bouncy sound of a stringed instrument in his ear—wait, not as if!

Road! Sound! Marsh!

"What's up? Trying to lighten the mood..." With a sound like rummaging through drawers, the stringed instrument seemed to be put away. "Alright, I won't bother you anymore, I'm leaving."

Coming to his senses, Lu Mingfei gathered the spoils together and began to distribute them:

The headless knight's sword was undoubtedly given to Lilith—after all, she was the only one who could wield such a greatsword at the moment, and it wouldn't be appropriate to invite that guy who was skilled with katana over at this time.

The gloomy wood was put into a bag, to be properly disposed of upon returning. This was because Lu Mingfei had a backpack with a comprehensive network to store it; otherwise, if he didn't want to keep a third of the spoils from this trip, starting card crafting and refining on the spot would be too hasty.

However, when it came to the last Dark Harvest, Lu Mingfei hesitated for a long time before turning around and handing it to Luo Tianyi.

"Huh? For...for me?" She hesitated before taking it, holding it in her hands to examine it. The weapon resembled a regular chain-like whip, the only difference being that its end weight was a sickle-shaped iron block.

"Are you really giving it to me? I don't know how to use it."

"Of course I can't actually give it to you. You don't fight with a whip—you're a summoner, you're there to summon your teammates to help you fight." Lu Mingfei sighed, but still gestured with hand signals:

The problem is, out of the three of us, you're the only one without a primary weapon. Those few knives are passable for assassinations, but forget about them in a real fight.

This whip is quite useful, so I'll leave it to you for now. As for not knowing how to use it... I don't expect you to be the main damage dealer; just make sure you don't hit your own people.

Once the three weapons were distributed, the search of this building was considered complete—as for how to move to the next building…

this is very simple.

Luo Tianyi took two running steps, flicked her whip in mid-air, and propelled herself to the top floor of another building. Lilith, holding Lu Mingfei in her arms, also took two running steps and leaped into the air—

It's hard to say what a good experience it was, since when Lilith held him in her arms, all he could feel during the bumpy ride was the hard armor, which left Lu Mingfei feeling dizzy and disoriented.

But in any case, they arrived at another building—and soon they would have a new discovery.

After actually experiencing it firsthand, Lu Mingfei figured out how to describe this festival event:

Searching for high-value resources, facing enemy attacks, and then retreating after scavenging a certain amount of high-value resources? Why does this sound so familiar?

"How should I put that?" Lu Mingze's voice echoed in his ears, "Operate, search, and then withdraw."

That's quite fitting—but something seems to be missing? Since it's supposed to be a battle, we can't just keep fighting these drifting ghosts who have no fighting spirit, can we?
