Chapter 539 (2/2)
It was at this moment Li Chengfeng produced two Convenience Gems from his bag and pa.s.sed them to Chaos Moon. “Here, take these. It's the gems I got from the One-horned Golden Dragon earlier.”
High Fighting Spirits and Xu Yang also gave her a Convenience Gem each. This meant that she could now equip the Bone Scythe set immediately. Since the equipment set wasn't Earth-grade or above, it didn't have any restriction regarding usage of Convenience Gems.
After giving her thanks to everyone, Chaos Moon slotted the gemstones into the equipment and changed her equipment on the spot. Suddenly, every man within the vicinity gulped and opened their eyes as wide as humanly possible in hopes of catching a sight that would certainly visit their dreams tonight if they were lucky.
Unfortunately, Chaos Moon had covered up her body with her battle robes, and it took barely any time to change one's equipment. A quick flash later, she had put on all four set pieces of craggy armor that accentuated her body shape very well. The red glow surrounding the equipment also gave her a healthy and seductive complexion.
“Hoho, my Attack is so amazing right now…” Chaos Moon trembled a little. It was as if the thought that she might one day become powerful never crossed her mind until now.
She asked around to see if there was anyone who wanted her equipment, but no one did. So, she put it up for equipment exchange so that the lower-level fighters in the guild could exchange for them.
Starting this moment, Chaos Moon of Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls had evolved into a super expert who was just as important as High Fighting Spirits and Eighteen Steeds of You and Yun. The only thing she lacked now was a Famous General Skill.
……
Finally, He Yi lifted a red hot fan and gave it a little shake before saying, “This is the Burning Fan, a Level 130, Earth-grade, 5-star Outstanding tactician weapon. It is even better than Yiyi's White Moon and the number one weapon on the Weapon Ranking. What do you guys think we should do with it? The problem is that it's a tactician weapon, and we… ahem, don't have any expert tactician at all…”
That's right. There were several hundreds of us, and everyone here was led by a Famous General. Therefore, we had no need of a tactician at all. Unfortunately, that also meant that this Burning Fan was stuck between a rock and a hard place.
The Burning Fan had incredible stats: 750~1020 Attack, Intelligence +150, Stamina +145, Tactics +50. It increased user's stratagem's effectiveness by 25%, increased user's max HP and boosted Attack-based stratagems by an additional 15%. It was incredibly OP. Not only did it have slightly higher physical Attack than Yiyi's White Moon, it improved its user's max HP by 30% and increased the effectiveness of stratagems drastically. Even I could equip this fan to grind levels and kill players if I wanted to because its Attack was as good as the Heaven-stealing Sword, except without the splash damage or lifesteal.
Li Chengfeng sighed as he watched the Burning Fan. “f.u.c.k, these stats are truly wasted on a fan, especially since there aren't any worthy tacticians in all of China to this day…”
“Yeah.” I nodded. “Tacticians would probably become relevant during the latter stages of the game, but right now, Famous General is the fad. The best stratagem skillbook to date is Encourage VII too, which is clearly inferior to the Famous General version of Encourage. This fan is amazing, but… there just doesn't seem to be a place for it…”
He Yi asked, “What should we do with this fan is the question. Even if we put it up for exchange, I doubt there's anyone who has the points to exchange for it…”
Lin Yixin blinked once before blurting out an unexpected request, “Can we make Lu Chen equip it? It might look good on him!”
Apparently, He Yi shared the same idea since the beginning because she pa.s.sed me the Burning Fan immediately and said, “Here, Lu Chen. I want to see how you look with this fan.”
Dumbfounded but helpless, I accepted the fan and switched out the Heaven-stealing Sword for the fiery iron fan. It gave me an elegant appearance, and when I waved it I felt like a lecherous n.o.ble from the Tang or Han dynasty whose day job was to hara.s.s the good women on the streets every day. There was a problem though. I was currently clad in war armor, and the image was jarring to say the least. To give an example, it was like humming a poem while taking a s.h.i.+t at the toilet. “When did the bright moon first appear? One raises a cup and asks the blue sky.”
……
“Pff…”
The girls couldn't hold their laughter. Cheeks reddening and straining with laughter, Lin Yixin said, “Fine, I guess this fan really doesn't fit well with metal armor. Why don't you keep it until Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls finds a tactician—a cloth armor one, please—that's worthy of it. Worse comes to worst, you can always sell it for money!”
I nodded. It was an amazing fan that could turn an average tactician into a Famous General. a.s.suming that a Level 120 tactician had 120 Tactics, the equipment would boost that number to a total of 250. Used with an Encourage VII that has a base effectiveness of 20%, the calculation would be: 20% x 3.5 = 70%. That wasn't all though. The fan naturally boosted the effectiveness of stratagems by 25%, and another 15% for Attack-based stratagems, so in conclusion it boosted one's Attack by a total of 102.5%, making it even better than the Tempest Shadow or Blue Sky Scar's Famous General Skill. More importantly, no cap was placed on Encourage yet, so the Tactician cla.s.s definitely had a bright future ahead of them.
Even now where they were supposed to be in the shadows, high-level tactician was still a very hot pick for party grind.
I waved the Burning Fan and said, “I guess I'll keep it in my bag for now. When we get back, I'll put it in our warehouse in Dark Moon City!”
“Mn!” He Yi and Gui Guzi nodded in unison.
……
I took out the B4 floor teleportation scroll and said, “Let's go. Candle Dragon may be tackling the fourth boss right now, and we're not falling behind them!”
