Chapter 231 – The Probe (1/2)
Chapter 231 – The Probe
Frost looked at us with her clear eyes, the corners of her mouth slowly lifting up. She smiled, “You didn’t fail to live up to our Tian Ling Empire and Holy Union’s expectations; the World Tree will definitely grow even more prosperous because of you guys. The Obsidian Dragon’s powers in the Dragon’s Tomb have been eradicated. Thank you for everything you have done for Dragon City. Come now, this is your reward; I’m really proud of you guys!”
“Ding!”
System Announcement: Congratulations, you have finished an SSS-ranked profession quest【Dragon Temple]. Your rewards: Level +1, Charm +9, 20,000 Gold and also a skill book【Absolute Zero Megrez Wall](SS-ranked)!
……
“Absolute Zero Megrez Wall?”
I immediately opened the package and an SS-ranked skill book appeared. Its power was exceptional –
【Absolute Zero Megrez Wall](SS ranked): Condense the cold Qi of Megrez Star to protect the caster; reduce the damage taken by 50% for 15 seconds. Level requirement: 50, Profession required: Berserker
……
Dammit, what a painful ending, how can this quest reward me with a special protection skill for a Berserker? It would have been best if it was something I could use… Thinking over and over again, I decided to give this skill book to Dong Cheng Lei. I had seen his super strength previously in the guild battle with [Wrath of the Heroes]; he had destroyed a ten man shield formation by himself. If he had [Absolute Zero Megrez Wall], Dong Cheng Lei’s survivability would increase a lot and he would be able to make use of his abilities more. Together with Old K, this two man hot headed, beastly team would probably shock the whole world.
Looking at the surrounding ladies, I asked, “What rewards did you guys receive?”
Yue Qing Qian blinked, “An Emperor Tier leather chestplate, heehee…”
Matcha: “Purple Tier leg guard…”
Dong Cheng Yue, “Damn, why is my reward only 10 Fire Elf Cards? This is illogical, how could a card’s worth be compared to an Emperor Tier equipment? ’s system is really bad…”
Fox: “I received a Purple Tier necklace, hehe, it increases my long ranged damage by 12%!”
“There’s no fairness in this world, how could I receive nothing…” Darling Duck and Who’s Blue voiced their dissatisfaction.
Promised Love tilted her head as she looked at Wan Er and said, “This girl should have received something good!”
Wan Er pursed her lips while she quietly stood there with a pleased and happy expression on her face. In the end, she couldn’t help but laugh so hard that she almost choked.
I folded my arms, “What on earth did you get?”
Lin Wan Er reached her hands out, revealing an indigo colored skill book –
【Heavenly Armour](SS-ranked): Increases defense by a large amount. Doubles the total defense of the casters’ whole set of leather equipment and allows a light armored player to have the defense of a heavy armored player. Required profession: Assassin, Musketeer, Archer. Level Requirement: 64. Learning the skill requires 10 charm.
……
“Damn!” Fox eyes bulged out, “Isn’t this skill book too shameless? Double leather armor’s defense? This…a leather armored player’s defense may even exceed a heavy armored player’s already…”
I laughed, “There’s nothing much to say. Learn it, Wan Er, let’s see if your defense will exceed mine!”
“Okay!”
A bright light flashed across Lin Wan Er’s hands. Successfully learning the skill, she called forth her character properties screen and shared it with us immediately.
【Cang Tong](Gold Assassin)
Level: 64
Attack: 1574-2117
Defense:2004
Health: 2450
Magic:1549
Charm:37
……
“Xiao Yao, Wan Er’s defense is already at 2004 points, what about your defense points?” Dong Cheng Yue smiled as she asked.
I clenched my fist, “Damn, I only have 2034 defense, Wan Er’s defense is really out of this world! Adding the umbrellas attributes, her survivability will be much higher than mine…”
Dong Cheng Yue couldn’t help but smile, “You are wrong, the best thing about Wan Er is not her defense but the power of her piercing damage which ignores a portion of one’s defense…”
Matcha said on the side, “Boss, don’t be too shaken. You have [Great Realm of Desolation], [Seven Stars Fragments Slash] and [Mohist Five Scrolls]. At least on the skills side you are better than Lin Beauty…”
Wan Er twirled her dagger and said, “Speaking of skills, we shouldn’t compare so much. You have so many S-ranked skills, right…”
I rubbed my nose, “Not really, I only have 9…”
“Only have 9?” Wan Er replied incredulously. “In the whole of [Hero Mound], those that have S-ranked skills and above can be counted with two hands. You have 9 S-ranked skills and above yourself alone and you still have the nerve to say ‘I only have 9’? Aren’t you ashamed of yourself?”
I nodded, “Yes I am, I am deeply ashamed…”
Wan Er moved her graceful body a step forward then smiled briefly and said, “Since you are ashamed of yourself, then why don’t you treat Dong Cheng and I to dinner tonight? You couldn’t possibly be lacking the money since you’ve just received more than 10,000 gold from the quest reward…”
“Oh …yeah” I felt happiness surging up inside me.
Matcha was also happily flying in the air, “10,000 Gold can be exchanged for 50,000 RMB. Oh, my reward, heehee, I can finally buy new clothes…”
Fox nagged, “Remember to pay 20% of it to the studio’s operating expenses account!”
I turned and replied, “No need, she doesn’t have to donate from her quest reward. Matcha, use the money to buy new clothes and wear nicer looking clothes. Only then will you be able to increase our studio’s fighting strength!”
Matcha giggled happily, “Boss you are so nice, I love you to death!”
