Chapter 259: That’s Something You Can Play With
“Okay…” On the other side of the crowd, Huan Yu looked at the two-meter-high giant spear, wiped the nonexistent cold sweat from her brow, and then reached out her hand.
Shake~ Shake
As Uncle released his grip, the giant spear lost its balance and wobbled dangerously toward Huan Yu!
Beep!
Caught it! Huan Yu had just enough time to breathe a sigh of relief when the overly heavy spearhead continued to drop, and the grip unintentionally slid backward—
Bang!!
The floor was struck, leaving a massive crater, even compressing Huan Yu’s pale white hair deep into the ground, while she herself stared in terror at the huge object so close to her.
She almost got herself killed.
“Haha, it seems your strength still isn’t enough to support this deep blue spear.” Uncle looked down and easily hoisted the culprit that had caused Huan Yu to fall onto his shoulder.
“Hu~ Hu…” She struggled to get back on her feet.
“Herbal Tea, not a bad adventurer, though I only gave you this chance because of He Da Chui… But you do indeed have qualities different from other adventurers.” Uncle nodded in affirmation.
Normally, people would be terrified in that situation, but she didn’t back down; she’s a good seed.
Qualities?
“…Huan Yu felt a bit speechless; in fact, she just had a slightly longer reflex arc, and it was only after being knocked to the ground that she considered what the consequences of being hit would be.
“Uncle…”
“Little girl, you’ve passed the preliminary test, just call me Diye, calling me Uncle makes me seem too old.”
“Di… Diye Teacher… You…”
“What? What happened to me?”
“Behind… behind!”
“Little girl, are you stuttering? Where did that brave momentum go just now? Diye said, shouldn’t you be happy after hearing the news?”
What could she have seen that scared her so much?
Just look back.
As the strong Iron Forger turned around, a woman’s figure appeared in his line of sight.
“What the, turns out it’s Xiin.” Diye finally realized; in the eyes of some, Xiin was actually a more terrifying existence. When she got angry, one could vaguely see blue flames burning on her head.
Just like… now.
Wait, who dared to provoke her?
Famic? No, that kid doesn’t have the guts.
Could it be… the Leader!?
Indeed, besides the Leader, who would be carefree enough to provoke the Guide and still be bouncing around?
Once this thought crossed his mind, he looked around, unable to find the figure he imagined.
Damn! He thought of the worst-case scenario; that bastard must have slipped away!
“Xiin, calm down, listen to me, this isn’t the time to get angry, there are so many people watching!” Diye quickly reassured.
“Ah, you know too!? Xiin sneered, suddenly quickening her pace.
Hmph!
An afterimage swiftly passed by.
When he came to his senses, Diye found himself deeply immersed in the ground.
“Why… ah!”
“Next time you tear up my floor, I’ll come over and burn your Chisel Cooler hut!”
……
Under the watchful eyes of the bystanders, Ziyu cautiously circled around Uncle and then exited the Guide’s location.
“Brother, I’ve completed my job change!”
“I see.” Zane felt embarrassed; it seemed he would have to be careful when going to the Guide’s location in the future.
Fortunately, Ziyu had completed the job change task. Though he didn’t know how she had done it… but this job looked quite impressive.
“Ah? You’ve already reached it?”
“Yeah, just a few more steps and you can see me.”
“Oh oh.” Ziyu ran out and immediately saw Zane, who wore the Bone Armor; this equipment was too recognizable.
“Don’t go over yet, let’s head to the West Gate directly. There are too many people here, it would be troublesome if we get targeted.”
Though a bit confused, Ziyu complied.
And Zane certainly had his own ideas; every hidden class would cause a massive uproar, so it was better to slip away before the spies even realized.
While walking, Ziyu sent her job panel information.
Chisel Cooler: Tempered through a thousand strikes, shedding the dross.
Strength: ★★★★★
Agility: ★
Intelligence: ★★
Spirit: ★★
Stamina: ★★★★
Refined: A technique developed through countless strikes; after use, it charges for 2 seconds, dealing 150% damage to the target and adds a knockback effect (the exact effect depends on the strength difference; if the strength is less than the target’s, the knockback effect cannot be triggered). When used on a weapon, it increases the target weapon’s base attack power by 1%, can be repeated 3 times, lasts 1 minute, and has a cooldown of 20 seconds.
Single-minded: When using forging skills, damage taken is reduced by 20% before completing the skill action.
Due to only being level 10, the skills obtained are temporarily only these two.
Refined is similar to Heavy Strike but differs by adding a strong knockback effect, meaning it would have a considerable advantage when dealing with certain knockback-capable monsters.
In addition, this Refined also has a supportive function— increasing the base attack power of the target weapon!?
Is this what’s known as sharpening a spear right before a battle? Although even at max it only adds 3%, it can definitely be raised higher in the future.
The growth star rating is also quite absurd, with strength growth reaching 5 stars, surpassing the highest 4.5 star agility growth of a Swordsman, which is ridiculous.
However, this agility… only has a 1-star growth, meaning the Chisel Cooler’s speed and accuracy are concerning.
That Single-minded skill may be to compensate for this flaw.
“Brother, can this job be played? Should I delete my account and re-do it…?” Ziyu hesitated, as she’s not too familiar with star ratings, but these two skills looked rather weak.
I’ve heard that the Swordsman’s Heavy Strike multiplier is 190%, and their agility growth is much higher than hers, making the Chisel Cooler feel like a live target by comparison.
“…This is so playable.” Zane almost got stunned.
This Chisel Cooler seems to be positioned as a tank support; could it be that he finally won’t have to rely on Alna to tank anymore?
Yay!
……
Relying on the advantage of his equipment, Zane arrived at the city gate first, and Starry had already been there for a while.
Since Ziyu was going to start playing this game, it was only a matter of time before she interacted with Starry; there were some things she almost needed to know. Plus, her original intention might very well be to connect with Starry.
Starry, are you there?
Not there.
Not there? Then it seems I can only tell Qi Yu myself… wait… if she’s not there, who was speaking just now?
Puff.
The purple-haired female Swordsman’s facial muscles twitched slightly, revealing a hint of a smile.
“Damn! If you’re there, don’t lurk around; help me explain later.”
[Starry] Yawning “You just say it; I want to sleep a bit. We’ve been split apart for too long yesterday, and I haven’t bounced back yet.”
