Chapter 85: Give Some Response!
Calm… Calm.
You should know that the boss dropped more than just these two pieces of equipment; the priority selection shouldn’t be used up so early.
Actually, even if a few pieces of equipment turned black, it would be fine, as there are many items only Zane knows about. However, there are basic principles to uphold in the game; otherwise, how is he different from the others with Yuhua?
Continue to draw rewards.
Ningxinqin:
Rarity: Silver Tier
Required Level: 25
Magical Attack Power: 89-107
Agility: 21
Intelligence: 48
Spirit: 35
Stamina: 29
Special Effect: When casting ‘Battle Poem’ or ‘Inspiring Poem’, dispel all abnormal statuses on the targets (success depends on the level difference between the caster and the target).
Special Skill: Please be quiet! Emits a sound wave, silencing the target for 5 seconds, cooldown time of 5 minutes.
Description: Hearing Ningxinqin’s voice makes time seem to stand still, bringing calm and peace.
A weapon for a Bard? This is the first time encountering one.
It adds a purification effect to the basic two buff enhancements, allowing a Bard with Ningxinqin to join expert parties more easily. Additionally, this instrument carries a silencing special skill, which provides a degree of self-protection and can even interrupt the boss’s ultimate skill.
However, since it’s for a support class, Zane isn’t particularly interested in it.
The next pieces of equipment are all Black Iron Equipment.
He took a glance: a set of leather gloves and heavy armor boots.
Starry already has lace gloves, and Zane has Gray Wolf gloves. Although the attributes are slightly inferior, there’s no need to compete for a level 25 Black Iron Item. By the time he reaches level 25, he might very well have a full set of Silver Tier equipment.
As for the boots, he already has Shadowfire Boots, and Zane doesn’t want to dismantle the Withered Bone Shield right now; it’s a life-saving skill!
There were a total of 5 pieces of equipment. Compared to other stingy bosses, this Demon Boss was quite generous.
In addition to the equipment, there were also 2 Skill Books.
He took a look.
Blink: Teleport to a specified location, maximum distance 40 yards, cooldown time 1 minute. Can be learned by Mages and corresponding classes above level 20.
Sound of Healing: A heartwarming song that heals a target within 20 yards, healing effect is 500 + magical attack * 1.5, cooldown time 2 minutes. Can be learned by Bards and corresponding classes above level 20.
Blink and Sound of Healing! The Mage’s mobility skill and the Bard’s rare single-target healing skill.
Though the description didn’t mention it, Zane felt that the Wishcaster should be able to learn them both.
What to do? Which one should he choose first? Almost everything is useful! There’s no choice; after all, he has two characters!
He hesitated.
Only one last item remained. When Starry took it out from the bag, Zane could clearly feel a large warm flow suddenly radiating from his chest.
What’s going on? Is it a necklace?
As Starry extracted it, the sensation in his chest grew stronger.
It was a purple energy core.
That previous Demon Boss relied on it to unleash exaggerated skills, but he hadn’t expected this item would also drop.
Damaged Core: Core of the Demon Stone Statue, destroyed.
“…It’s destroyed?”
Indeed, it looked like a stone picked up from the ground. He couldn’t believe this was once a glowing energy core.
However, the sensation in his chest became increasingly intense. Even though the sky was clear at the moment, from Starry’s perspective, a faint red light was already shining from his chest!
This stone has a problem!
“I want this!” Zane gritted his teeth.
It didn’t matter how the remaining items were distributed; this core had to be obtained. Anything that reacts with the necklace is definitely not simple!
The others were somewhat surprised; they had thought Zane would choose the Thunder Spear since it seemed the most fitting for him.
Perhaps this damaged core has some extraordinary quality, but that was no longer their concern.
Suppressing his inner excitement, Zane stored the core in his bag; the necklace finally quieted down.
“That’s all,” Starry said.
After witnessing these items, Mingxiao was also relieved that they didn’t just leave with nothing. Getting some was better than nothing, especially for the brothers in their guild who were struggling with losing levels from staying up late. “Shall we start distributing them?”
Zane nodded.
First, the Magical Cloak.
There wasn’t a single Mage among the five present.
Mingxiao clearly found it appealing, “This equipment is just for us? Of course, a level 25 Silver Tier item is priceless at this stage, plus the powerful magic amplification special skill. I won’t just take it for free.”
“Sure,” Zane nodded.
“This Thunder Spear…”
“Give it to them; I know you really want it.”
“What? Brother Fengchen, you don’t want it? This is a Thunder Cannon!” The recent death still fresh in their minds.
“Saying I don’t want it would be a lie, but level 25 is too far away. I can’t wait; I only want those two Skill Books. You can have everything else.”
“How can that be?” Mingxiao knew very well that if they took advantage of the situation here, future relationships might not be very deep. “The Thunder Spear and Skill Books belong to you; we’ll take the others.”
“…”
“I know the value of these items, but it’s the early stage of the server opening, and the guild’s funds are tight. I’ll first give you 500 gold!”
500! To be honest, Zane didn’t expect Mingxiao to be so willing to spend money.
Since that’s the case, there’s nothing more to say.
“Alright, deal!”
Mingxiao’s vice president isn’t like Brother Hai; he has a guild to rely on, so there’s no worry about affecting his real-life situation, and Zane is at ease taking it.
But there was one thing Zane hadn’t anticipated.
As a slowly rising star, it’s very necessary for Mingxiao to establish good relations with independent experts. Who knows when someone might change their mind and prioritize Mingxiao? That time would be the season of harvest.
After the transaction, they exchanged pleasantries and then logged off; after such a long time online, they could hardly bear it.
…
It was 8 o’clock; he had consumed too much time in the Secret Realm.
Zane found his hidden base; this dead end rarely had anyone passing through, with Starry watching the front, it was extremely safe.
He took out the core once more.
Sure enough, the familiar feeling returned.
He also took off the necklace and held it in the other hand.
As the two gradually approached…
Suddenly, the damaged core seemed to be drawn in, flying straight up and being absorbed into the necklace!!
And then…
Nothing happened.
?
Zane could only type out this symbol.
Give me some noise, hey!
Another 3 minutes passed.
Alright, there truly has been no change; Zane looked at the attributes in silence.
What did you consume? Give some response! Zane shook the necklace and then finally noticed,
The originally tiny red gem had grown by a significant portion!
The gray wolf and blonde girl pattern that had blocked most of the surface was now opened up by one position after expanding.
Could it be that…
