Chapter 111: Is That All?
After an intense battle, Star Cat was reduced to low health, and Starry took out one of the Diamond Lizards.
The remaining three were buried halfway in the dirt.
That’s right, literally, Mo Se had dug them into the ground.
Although they had bodies as hard as diamonds, being stuck in a hole of that size made it impossible for them to get out for a while; the Elemental Blast could only strike underground, with explosions occasionally echoing from below.
Cleaning them up was just a matter of time.
Five minutes later.
Zane leveled up to 25, while Starry was just shy of the experience needed for level 27.
Star Cat reached level 24, and Mo Se began to happily enjoy a meal, indicating that it would take a while for him to finish.
Moreover, two pieces of equipment dropped.
Elemental Horn:
Rarity: Gold Tier
Required Level: 30
Magical Attack Power: 100
Physical Defense: 45
Magical Defense: 72
Agility: 46
Spirit: 75
Intelligence: 93
Magical Critical Hit Rate: 5%
Trait: Elemental Spring, chant speed reduced by 20%.
Special Skill: Charging, can store one magic-type skill for special skill release, maximum storage capacity of 3, release interval of 5 seconds.
Description: The horn of the Diamond Lizard, capable of storing immense elemental energy.
A hat for the magical profession! This was the first time seeing a Gold Tier item besides the Qiu Yue Sword, and not only are its attributes impressive, but the Charging special skill is also remarkable. Imagine throwing out two waves of fire in succession during a PK; how can others possibly compete? Furthermore, the Elemental Spring can reduce the casting time for spells, something that those without this equipment would definitely not anticipate.
Battles among experts can sway judgments.
The second item, however, was not as powerful as this one; it’s reasonable to think so since the drop rate for Gold Tier items is said to be significantly lower than that for Silver Tier, but the attributes of level 30 equipment still hold considerable weight.
Luminary Gloves:
Rarity: Silver Tier
Required Level: 30
Physical Attack Power: 156-172
Agility: 48
Strength: 55
Critical Hit Rate: 7%
Trait: Luminary Fist, has a 5% chance to trigger upon attack, dealing 125% damage to the target.
Description: It is said that the Luminary Fist can light up the night sky.
Its attack power is approaching that of the Qiu Yue Sword; as expected for level 30 equipment, the attributes are somewhat lacking, and there aren’t many perks.
However, this Luminary Fist shares a similar essence with Qiu Yue’s strike; unfortunately, the probability is too low to rely on during PKs, but it may bring surprises while grinding monsters. Perhaps I’ll give it to Chuxue later.
…
Wishing – Mud.
The ground transformed into a swamp, and the unconscious goblins seemed to sense something amiss, waking up due to the suffocating stimulus.
This method of waking someone up is quite convenient.
“My heavens…” Kainel exclaimed, “You actually took down four Diamond Lizards at once!”
“It was nothing, just a little reward will do.” Zane responded nonchalantly.
Kainel’s face showed an uncomfortable expression.
“Hero, we… don’t have anything left.”
What’s this, trying to renege? No, wait, seems like there’s no task anymore… Did we work for free?
“Forget it, forget it. Your clan leader is gone; you might as well find a place to hide. Staying here is just waiting to die.” Though blunt, it’s the truth.
“…”
“This human is right.” Suddenly, a goblin stepped forward.
“We’ve had enough of the conflicts that drove us to this frigid land, yet despite this, we were still chased out by the Dark Faction.”
This little guy spoke passionately,
“Since the clan leader is gone, we no longer have to obey those guys. Let’s go to the Crimson Plain!”
Who are you? Why do you suddenly have so many lines?
Seemingly noticing Zane’s confusion, Kainel quietly said, “He is Alu, the son of clan leader Ahe.”
Goodness, the spark hasn’t been extinguished!
Other goblins chimed in, expressing their agreement; they had enough of this life.
“What kind of place is the Crimson Plain?” Zane asked curiously.
“South of Lingyao Valley, it’s about a three-day journey there. That area hasn’t been touched by the Dark Faction, and with Diamond Lizards around, our relocation won’t be easily detected.”
“I see… Don’t casually set a flag!”
“Are you planning to build a new home there?” Zane curiously asked.
“Yes, thank you so much for saving us,” Alu said, “But… we have no capacity for repayment right now. Once we settle there, you’re welcome to visit.”
“Repayment is unnecessary…” Zane shifted the topic, “Just wondering if you mind living alongside other races?”
Alu’s expression turned grim, “Although you two saved us as humans, most humans harbor immense hatred toward our goblin clan, and there’s absolutely no chance for coexistence!”
“Oh, I wasn’t referring to humans.”
“…?”
“Gray Wolf, to get to know better?”
…
Offline for a meal.
“Brother Shiu, did you fight with Yuhua today? I saw it on the forum. One Dream Floating Life suffered a crushing defeat… Endless Sea is the hidden expert!? What a title…”
“Yes, there were too many players in Shattered Rock Ridge; it was easy for them to figure out our movements.”
“What do they want with you?” Yuhua should only have grudges against the top two on the level rankings.
“It should be One Dream Floating Life; he knows Brother Sea. They might have had some past grievances,” Brother Shiu said casually.
“As long as you won, that’s all that matters.” Zane didn’t take Yuhua to heart.
Suddenly, he stumbled upon a post.
“Shocking! Yunshui City gives birth to a hidden profession, and the owner is actually a fairy!” An unruly English ID posted this, and the views were in the hundreds of thousands; it looked quite popular.
Upon clicking, there was a screenshot of Wencheng appearing in Shattered Rock Ridge!
“Wencheng passed the trial!?” Zane exclaimed joyfully.
“Yeah, don’t you read World Announcements?”
“I was too tense to notice.”
“… What were you doing this morning?”
“Just doing quests, ran into some trouble.”
“Alright then, just shout if you need us; we’re still looking for new maps.”
“Ok, ok.”
…
Zane logged back in and checked his coins, gaining another 500+. He quickly dumped 500 into the market.
Now the coin exchange rate has dropped to 1:75.
It’s likely that in a day or two, coins will be nearly worthless.
Better to sell them all quickly.
In less than 5 minutes, they were all sold out; clearly, the demand was high, netting him 36,000.
Right, need to handle the items on me.
He called out to Nangong, telling him he had something to send.
Moments later, Nangong appeared right before him, his efficiency was indeed impressive.
“Where’s the stuff!?”
“Why the rush? Don’t get scared later.”
“Hmph, haven’t I seen enough of what I saw in the morning? It’s not that bad.”
“Hahaha, just watch.”
On the trading panel, Zane placed items one by one.
The level 25 Prayer Staff and a Black Iron dagger, the ones obtained from defeating the Death Knight.
Nangong was barely holding back but was still patient.
Next came the Luminary Gloves.
His mouth inadvertently opened; the level 30 equipment startled him.
It wasn’t over yet. Zane tossed the Ice Feather Arrow skill book onto the panel.
“Slurp—”
Nangong nearly let slip a drool.
Wiping the corner of his mouth, he coughed and feigned calmness, “Is that all?”
Zane said nothing and silently tossed two pet eggs onto the panel.
“Whoa!”
