Chapter 637 (1/2)

Since He Yi had made her intentions abundantly clear, I tossed the Crystal s.h.i.+eld into my bag.
In Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls, the three strongest riders we had outside of He Yi and Gui Guzi were Eighteen Steeds of You and Yun, Heaven's Rain, and Diamond Dust. Eighteen Steeds of You and Yun had been the core wanderer in our guild since the start, so he was obviously loyal to us. Diamond Dust and Heaven's Rain only truly came into the limelight after they gained their Knight General skills. In fact, Heaven's Rain only joined us after she got her Famous General Skill. However, because everyone knew how important the Knight General skill was, we needed to do everything in our power to keep these two girls in Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls.
If we could use a simple Crystal s.h.i.+eld to ensure the loyalty of one of our core Knight Generals, that would be an amazing deal!
Alright, I'm going to give this Crystal s.h.i.+eld to Heaven's Rain. She had dropped everything she was doing in another city and joined us without a single complaint, so we had to treat her sincerely as well. If we didn't, we would never become proper heroes.
He Yi had always been a smart and decisive woman. It was absolutely the smarter decision for her to give up this Crystal s.h.i.+eld. This was also why Xu Yang, Murong Mingyue, Lian Xin, and I were willing to follow her to the ends of the earth.
……
The fourth item was that golden pendant.
Crystal Pendant (Earth-grade, Outstanding★): Strength +150, Stamina +145, Pa.s.sive: Increases user's Attack by 12%. Outstanding Property: Increases user's max HP by 2000. Level Requirement: 145.
It was another Earth-grade item! We had gotten four Earth-grade items! Mad Warrior Buffett had really dropped some incredible stuff!
Even though this Crystal Pendant was also an Earth-grade item, it was only 1-star Outstanding. Its stats weren't that great either and even my 5-star Outstanding Spirit-grade necklace, the G.o.d Suppressing Necklace, was better than that. I tossed the pendant to Murong Mingyue and said, ”Sis, take this and sell it in the auction house. You'll be able to earn some money from it.”
”Okay.” Murong Mingyue put the pendant in her inventory. In truth, we all knew that the money she earned from this would be immediately pumped back into the Raincube Corporation. She wouldn't earn a single cent from its sale. Of course, I gave her the pendant because she had been working so hard to heal us, but she didn't have a single thing to show for it, and that simply wouldn't do. Moreover, He Yi and I would have died to Buffett a couple thousand times if she wasn't here to heal us.
The last item was the longsword that was s.h.i.+ning with an intense golden light. I already promised He Yi that this sword would be hers, no matter what grade it was, because I called dibs on the Battle Flame Wristguards.
Whoos.h.!.+
After I waved a hand over it, a burst of light erupted from the sword. The harsh radiance illuminated the night sky and caused us to wince. After that, an extremely shocking set of numbers started forming in the air.
Blade of the Earthen Soul (Earth-grade, Outstanding★★★★★★)
Attack: 1250~1420
Agility: +195
Stamina: +190
Tactics: +47
Pa.s.sive: Increases user's Attack by 50%
Pa.s.sive: Increases the damage of earth-element skills by 100%
Pa.s.sive: Increases user's splash damage by 25%
Slots: 7
Outstanding Property: Soul of the Earth. There is a 2% chance of triggering Earth Soul, an attack that hits all targets in a set area.
Introduction: The Earth is the mother of all things. After many millennia, the energy contained within the soil would slowly be condensed into divine weapons of absolute power. This Blade of the Earthen Soul is one such weapon. Vast power radiates from its every swing, and countless devils tremble at the sound of its name. Now that the Blade of the Earthen Soul has appeared in the human realm once more, it will definitely stir up a squall of blood and violence once more.
Level Requirement: 145
……
“d.a.m.n, these stats are incredible…” My mouth dropped open in incredulous disbelief. This Mad Warrior Buffett had really given us way too much face. Every single piece of equipment he dropped had been Outstanding Earth-grade and the Dragonbone String and Blade of the Earthen Soul were especially overpowered! At this current stage of the game, such weapons could absolutely be counted on just your fingers!
I immediately opened up the weapon ranking to confirm my suspicions. As expected, they were about as OP as I thought they were. My Cyan Netherworld Sword was very comfortably sitting on top of the leaderboard but the Blade of the Earthen Soul had instantly jumped into the fourth spot. The Dragonbone String that we were going to give to Beiming Xue had taken the sixth spot, while Lin Yixin's Blade of Violet Lightning rounded out the Top 10. At this moment, three of the best ten weapons in the China server belonged to Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls!
I tossed the Blade of the Earthen Soul to He Yi without any hesitation and laughed. ”Grats, Eve! You're now an elite knight that can both attack and defend!”
He Yi caught the Blade of the Earthen Soul, and her joy was plain on her face. A look of admiration appeared in those eyes as she slowly rubbed the surface of her new sword with her jade white fingers. She couldn't stop herself from caressing her s.h.i.+ny new toy as she giggled. ”Wow, its stats are incredible, but I… I… don't know when I'll be able to equip it…”
I laughed. ”After we report our success to Mengchuan, the quest should reward you with enough EXP to gain a level. You'll be Level 143 then, just a step away from Level 145. If you work hard tomorrow, you should be able to hit Level 145.”
”Yeah, yeah!”
He Yi put the Blade of the Earthen Soul in her bag. She excitedly handed over the tasks that she and Murong Mingyue were supposed to complete over the next two days to the head managers at Raincube. They would ”rest” for the next two days and raise their levels as fast as they could. After all, it would look quite bad for any of the leaders of Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls to lag behind in levels.
I continued to sort through the items. Buffett had dropped quite a few magic stones and we quickly divided them among us. I also spied a sky-blue card lying amongst the items he had dropped. I quickly picked it up and the words written on the card stunned all three of us.
”Spirit Dragon Warrior x250”: Rank 10 Elf Castle Unit. The strongest generals and protectors of the elven nation.
……
What the f.u.c.k?! Buffett actually dropped a troop card too? Weren't… weren't these things something that only bosses sp.a.w.ned by territories would drop? It looks like Buffett had already reached a new level of existence as a subordinate of Thunder.
