“Lin Bing Dou Zhe?”
Li Chengfeng hummed for a second. “I don't recall ever hearing about this person, but the fact that he rose to level 120 and learned a Famous General Skill that adds 30% Attack and 20% Defense… sounds like an all-round commander type of player to me…”
“Mn.” I completely agreed with him. “Stranger of Three Lifetimes must be on the move already. Considering her reputation in Vanished G.o.d City, there's no way she wouldn't try to recruit Lin Bing Dou Zhe.”
He Yi asked, “Should we try and recruit him as well?”
“Sure. Add him as a friend and send him a message yourself.”
“Okay!”
……
A few minutes later, He Yi said in disappointment, “We were too late…”
“What happened?”
“Lin Bing Dou Zhe said that someone had contacted him and invited him to an offline meeting half a minute ago. He refused to tell me who it was, and he deleted me from his friend list right after we finished chatting…”
“f.u.c.k…”
I hid my annoyance and asked, “Looks like he was recruited by an enemy of ours. Do you have any idea who it might be? Candle Dragon, Warsky Alliance, Mad Dragon or G.o.ds of Destruction?”
“I don't know…” He Yi shook her head blankly. “It could be any of them.”
It was at this moment Li Chengfeng spoke up. “Alright, I just did a quick investigation on Lin Bing Dou Zhe. Do you want to hear about it?”
“Sure. Tell us!”
“Lin Bing Dou Zhe is Lin Bin, a man from Hangzhou. He played a game called 'Overlord' during Spirit of Grief and was known as the strongest player of that game. After Heavenblessed came online, he changed his ID and kept a low profile until recently. I don't know what kind of person he is, but I do know that he has great skill, great judgement, and great senses. He's a control-type player.”
He Yi and I exchanged a glance with each other. “Such a shame…”
But Gui Guzi laughed and rea.s.sured us, “It's fine, we couldn't possibly recruit every talent in the world, right?”
“True.” I nodded and let go of my disappointment quickly. “It doesn't matter which guild Lin Bing Dou Zhe joined. If he becomes our enemy, then we'll just show him who's boss!”
“Hehe, that's right!”
Gui Guzi chuckled. However, he was. .h.i.t three to four times by the Coldblade Death Knights because he wasn't paying attention. Sigh, the guy still had a long way to go. Unlike him, Li Chengfeng and I could chat and still grind the mobs like normal without losing performance.
Swhoos.h.!.+
Suddenly, a column of golden light warmed my body. I had finally risen to level 125!
“Lu Chen has risen to Level 125, haha! Congrats, congrats!” High Fighting Spirits and the others congratulated me with laughter.
I smiled and flipped open my backpack excitedly. I then replaced the Skydusk Cloak with the Soul Suppressing Cloak. When the blood red cloak appeared behind my back, my image immediately became even more frightening than before. The frayed ends of the cloak especially made me look like a fierce general who had stepped across countless battlefields.
felt like a powerful energy entering my body the moment I equipped the Soul Suppressing Cloak. It made me feel stronger than ever before!
When I opened my stats screen, the numbers I saw immediately surprised me. In hindsight, I shouldn't be since this was a six-star Outstanding Earth-grade equipment, the strongest defense equipment in the game of now—
ID: Broken Halberd Sinks Into Sand (Purgatory Thunder)
Cla.s.s: Undead Swordsman (Dark Gold Swordsman)
Level: 125
HP: 21980
Attack: 1902~2455
Defense: 2965
Magic Resist: 2665
Reputation: 228480
Tactics: 226(+164)
Luck: 28
……
It was amazing. My upper attack limit was 2455, my base Defense was almost 3000, and my max HP was almost 22k thanks to the Soul Suppressing Cloak! One might say that 99% of the Magic Knights out there didn't have my HP even if they dropped all their stats into Stamina!
My total Defense was 2965, the total percentage boost from my equipment was—30% from the G.o.d Suppressing Necklace, 20% from the G.o.d Suppressing Helmet, 14% from the Obsidian Dragon Scale Armor, 25% from the Soul Suppressing Cloak, 8% from the Soul of the Earth Bracers and 20% from the Silver Dragon Ring—117%, and the total percentage boost from my skill—Ghost Deity Armor X—was 40%. Therefore, the total percentage boost from both equipment and skill was 157%. Therefore, my real Defense was 7620. How scary was that? I must be almost as tanky as Gui Guzi right now!
