TL: THEY ARE BACK! THANKS M2T5 and ZDog!
Finally the third item and also the most valuable piece of equipment for me was a flame-colored, glowing wrist guard. My current wrist guard was only Lv 30 and Silver Tiered so if this new wrist guard was decent enough, I could switch it out.
“Shua!”
The details of the wrist guard materialized and Strawberry Matcha could not help but have jaw drop. “Boss…this…this is incredible luck! Ah! This boss dropped not one, but two purple items!”
【Heaven’s Peak Wristguard](Purple Tier)
Category: Armor
Defense: 220
Strength: +40
Ability Power: +38
Extra: Increases precision of attacks by 17%
Extra: Increases magical resistance by 15%
Required level: 49
……
Holding the Heaven’s Peak Wristguard, I happily equipped the item, and saw a huge improvement in my stats—
【Xiao Yao Zi Zai](Tomb Guardian of Dragon City)
Level: 52
Attack: 1448-1888
Defense: 1309
Health: 2721
Mana: 910
Charm: 34
……
The biggest change was in my defense and mana. My defense was definitely unique. No Swordsman would have over 1000 defense. Also, my 910 mana would let me fight for a longer time in battles. At the very least, I would not run out of mana with only 2 or 3 level 6 skills. Running out of mana is embarrassing to say the least, and no Swordsman would ever want to be in that position in a life and death situation.
With the addition of the Heaven’s Peak Wristguard, my attack precision was boosted by 17% and my magical resistance by 15%. These two effects were pretty straightforward and useful in PK situations, even if the opponent can dodge spectacularly enough, with a high enough precision, one’s blade could follow them. For the magic resistance, that’s the only way to go against mages which makes it very sought after.
Looking at all of the loot that dropped out of the BOSS, the results were somewhat disappointing, no Guild Creation Tablet dropped, and neither did any Pardon Card or Soul Spirit Stones. All that was left were a pile of filthy mucus eggs. It felt greasy to the hand when I touched it, and there were 7 eggs altogether–
【Insect Eggs]: Ingredients, you can use this in cooking.
……
It seemed to be useless, so I threw it into my inventory, turning to Strawberry Matcha, I asked her, “Did you want to continue leveling, or go offline and rest? Dinner time is coming soon…
Strawberry Matcha nodded her head, “Let’s take a break, I’ll go make dinner!”
“Okay then…”
Seeing how the girl was so diligently working even offline, I shook my head. I sent a message to Wan Er, “Miss, are we going out to dinner soon?”
Wan Er replied quickly, “Yea, come wait underneath the girl’s dormitory.”
“I’m on my way!”
……
I put on some clothes, and in a few minutes I arrive downstairs of the girl dormitories where Wan Er and Dong Cheng Yue’s beautiful figures appeared. Even though I had seen them many times, whenever I see such beautiful women like these two my heart can’t help but throb.
“Ahem…”
Coughing into my fist, clearing ripples within my mind and taking a look at Wan Er, I asked, “Wan Er, where will we be eating today?”
“Today we will be treated out…” Wan Er said.
“By whom?”
“Wang Ren, the pretty girl you saw last time at the kendo club.”
“Okay then, did she say to invite me?”
“She did. Let’s go, to the school of Korean Cuisine…”
“Okay.”
……
7:00 PM, Korean Restaurant.
The smell of steaming barbeque filled the air in the hall.
Wang Ran sat there with her cheek resting on her hand, looking at me. A pair of beautiful eyes blinked a few times as she said, “Li Xiao Yao, are you really not willing to join our Kendo club? A talent like yours doesn’t come by often, I really don’t want to miss out on an opportunity like this. So, give me your conditions, as long as you join the Kendo club, I’ll do my best to satisfy you.”
Dong Cheng tilted her head and gave a small laugh, “Wang Ran, if Li Xiao Yao were to want you to be his girlfriend, would you still be willing?”
Wang Ran’s face turned red, “Other than that, I already have a boy that I like…”
Wan Er smiled, “Okay then, could you stop trying to poach him away with my presence? No matter what you say, Li Xiao Yao is mine. If you want to try and take him away, you’ll have to go through me, is that clear?”
Wang Ran looked astonished, “Wan Er, why do you say that Li Xiao Yao is yours?”
“Uh…”Wan Er looked shocked at her own words for a second, stammering for several seconds, as if she did not know what to say.
