67 Chapter 67 - The Final Reward (1/2)
Gu Fei brought the Fang of the Wolf King with him as he paid the stout Werewolf another visit.
”I've gotten rid of him,” Gu Fei straightforwardly said as he handed over the quest item, ”He made a fool out of everyone by using this to transform himself into a lycanthrope.”
After taking a good look at the item, the stout Werewolf expressed his shock, ”He's a Werewolf Lord! No wonder he's so strong!”
”He's alright, I guess...” Gu Fei could only say so as he did not actually have the chance to witness how strong the Werewolf Lord was. Ironically, he had in fact had the chance to do so last night. The Werewolf Lord, unfortunately, fled with his tail between his legs once he had received a slight injury.
”You did us a favor. We are also eternally grateful that you have kept your promise to not expose our identity to others,” the stout Werewolf sincerely said, adding, ”To prevent the occurrence of a similar dilemma, can you leave the Fang of the Wolf King in our hands?”
”Sure,” Gu Fei immediately acquiesced.
”To express our gratitude...” The stout Werewolf went inside his room and rummaged through the bottom of his bed. Gu Fei could feel his heart sinking. The reward from Chief Edwin was at least properly stored inside a drawer. How great could this reward be if it was tossed haphazardly by the stout Werewolf under his bed?
But Gu Fei's eyes lit up when the stout Werewolf emerged and faced Gu Fei once more.
The stout Werewolf was holding a sword. The blade had an expensive wine's purplish shine to it, while its surface was shrouded in a layer of black luster. The weapon exhibited the qualities of a top-grade weapon from its naked appearance alone.
The stout Werewolf handed it over, and Gu Fei eagerly accepted it.
Moonlit Nightfalls.
The weapon's traits gave Gu Fei quite a shock. Not only did the sword possess a very high Physical Attack, it also had a fair share of Magic Attack, which was superior than the Magic Attack of the stave July had gifted him.
The magic staves' main offense was naturally their Magic Attack. However, the term 'Physical Attack' would be listed on the magic staves' traits window as well. This was because magic staves could technically function as physical weapons. As for weapons like sword, dagger, or saber, they would usually not have the word 'Magic Attack' displayed on their traits window. Compared to all those weapons, the current sword in Gu Fei's hands not only had high Magic Attack listed on its traits window, the Physical Attack was very substantial as well.
Two more traits could be seen further down. [Sword Aptitude 170%. Spell Aptitude 170%]
Even more traits were displayed below. [10% proc rate for critical attack, plus 10% increase in critical damage. +20 Agility. +20 Intelligence. 20% increase in attack speed. Usable skill: Impending Nightfalls… Conditions are not met; skill unavailable.]
It was terrific! The finest weapon! No matter how much of a noob gamer Gu Fei was, he could still tell how powerful the sword was based on its traits.
Even Sword Demon's Frost Memories dagger, which Gu Fei had once considered as the finest weapon so far, paled in comparison to this sword right here.
Although Frost Memories was fine, it was just gold-tier equipment in the end. Moonlit Nightfalls, on the other hand, was purple-tier equipment.
Purple-tier equipment was the strongest gear in Parallel World if treated as a standalone item. The only one stronger than it was green-tier equipment. But green-tier equipment came in a set. Thus, players had to collect each piece and activate the hidden traits first before the green-tier equipment could unleash its full potential. Therefore, green-tier equipment was inferior to purple-tier equipment in terms of individual use.
”Look! Look at my sword!” Gu Fei excitedly shoved the sword to Xiaoyu so that she could admire it as well.
”Woahhhhh!” Xiaoyu exclaimed as she looked at the sword before asking, ”Sword Aptitude… Spell Aptitude... What do they mean?”
”No idea!” Gu Fei replied, ”But they must be incredible.”
”Why?”
”Because you can't see these words on the usual weapons,” Gu Fei took out Sacred Flames of Baptism and checked its traits once more. Sure enough, the word 'Aptitude' was missing on the traits window.
”That's rad!” Xiaoyu returned the sword to Gu Fei, ”I want to do a quest like this as well.”
”You will get your chance!” Gu Fei patted Xiaoyu.
”Both our quests are done,” Xiaoyu said as they left the stout Werewolf's house. Just as they stepped outside the door, a beam of white light enveloped Gu Fei.
”What happened?!” Xiaoyu was startled into pulling out her axe.
”Chill!” Gu Fei said to her immediately, ”I'm fine. It's just a level up.”
”What's with the sudden level up for no apparent reason?” Xiaoyu asked.
Gu Fei glanced over at the system notification. The system had sent Gu Fei a message when they exited the stout Werewolf's house. [Completed the chain quest 'Eddie's Mission' with a rate of 95%. Experience points and coins rewarded.] Apparently, the experience points Gu Fei had acquired were enough for him to reach level 31.
”I've earned plenty of experience points!” Gu Fei was dumbfounded. The rewards for this particular chain quest were simply too astronomical. Including Flames of Baptism that had received a new trait after being plated with silver by Chief Edwin, Gu Fei received a total of four equipment and an unexpectedly hefty amount of experience points from this quest. On the other hand, the monetary reward was not that grand, as Gu Fei found that he had only gained fifty more gold coins upon checking his money pouch.
”That's a given,” Ye Xiaowu, who was observing from afar, smiled wryly as he saw the shocked expression on Gu Fei's face. It would have been strange if the experience points given were insufficient to even raise one level of someone who had completed a chain quest beyond his league. Furthermore, the traits listed on the two final rewards – Spell Mastery, Sword Aptitude, and Spell Aptitude – had yet to be made available for the low-level gear equipped by the low-level players. Ye Xiaowu was left speechless since Gu Fei had access to those traits now after acquiring that fine equipment from this chain quest.
Ye Xiaowu felt depressed when he saw Gu Fei's glum look upon obtaining the Midnight Spirit Robe. He really wanted to stab Gu Fei at that moment. He dared feel displeased with such an item? Luckily, Ye Xiaowu calmed down once he saw Gu Fei's reaction upon obtaining the Moonlit Nightfalls.
”Come on. Let's go back!” Xiaoyu urged.
”Back to where?”
”Yunduan City! I'm calling Master Kang,” Xiaoyu replied.
