Chapter 54 (1/2)

Not all players who earned the title of Brave Warrior would necessarily spend so much money on a set of equipment. After all, they could resell other normal equipment after they were done using those items while retaining its previous price or even be paid better for it—on the other hand, buying Honor points item meant any money spent was gone forever.

Nie Fan did not care about the money, however, since good equipment meant that he would earn it back soon enough.

Now, his Defense was at a stunning 510. Even if it was only on par with normal leather armor, it wouldn’t lose out to some Warriors, not to mention that there were buffs on various stats, including the 3% all-stats buff that the armor provides when worn in a set.

Indeed, for the time being, he could hold his own against the best, be it in Defense, Attack or any other stat.

Each equipment was also a good fit for his figure and he did not feel out of sorts wearing it. His chest armor was perfectly streamlined and brimming with might, the cold gaze of the wolf head carving on the plate leaving any who sees it breathless under its killing intent, while his gauntlets, spaulders, and greaves were also adorned with spikes just like the fangs of wolves. His joints were also covered in white leather, and each item glowed light-blue and appeared to match other, with every detail done exquisitely. Totems of bauhinias were sewn even on the least obvious spots, allowing players to see that it’s a full-set item.

Nie Fan was quite satisfied with the equipment set too. After flexing his joints for a moment, he headed to the center of the village where Xue Yu and Lin Suyue were waiting.

As he walked, players nearby would look towards him enviously.

“Who is that? What are those items he’s wearing?”

“Could it be a Copper-grade equipment set?”

Must be the boss of a studio. That equipment set looks awesome!”

Meanwhile, Nie Fan did not comment despite them. It was a pity that he did not have a cloak that hides his equipment, and he was a little not used to the other players’ staring.

As he headed straight to the square at the center of the village, he could see Xue Yue and Lin Suyue.

Xue Yu did a double-take when he turned towards his direction. “Is that Nie Fan?”

“Looks like him.” Lin Suyue was unsure as well, and it was until Nie Fan came closer that they recognized him.

“You just got those?” Xue Yu asked in surprise as he scanned Nie Fan.

“Bought it from the militia captain a moment ago. Level twenty-five, Cyan Bronze equipment set. What do you think?” Nie Fan smiled. At their current level, his equipment set was very formidable.

“Is your weapon included in the set too?” Xue Yu noticed his Gauntlet Swords then.

“No. This one is a level twenty-five Dark Enchanted Bronze weapon!” Nie Fan grinned, shaking his head.

“Dark Enchanted Bronze…” Xue Yu and Lin Suyue traded glances. From their perspective, Cyan Bronze items were already unbeatable existences, and they certainly didn’t expect that he could get a pair of Dark Enchanted Bronze Gauntlet Swords after already obtaining the Dark Enchanted Bronze-grade ring!

Still, unwilling to continue discussing the matter of items, Nie Fan shifted the conversation. “Have you found us some party members?”

“Got a Mage, still need a Warrior. What should we do? We don’t have a suitable candidate.” Xue Yu replied rather unhappily. Most of the best Warriors were already tied to fixed teams, and they had no use for weaker Warriors.

“Let’s form a party first. We could get a Warrior later.” Nie Fan considered asking for Warsong or Dancing Phoenix but they were tied to fixed teams as well, and there was no telling if they would come. It would be best if they could find someone else by themselves, and only consider asking them after they could not.

“You should be the group leader. I’ll disband the party.” Xue Yu told him. “By the way, the Mage we got is named Shadow Sadwind.”

“Shadow Sadwind?” Nie Fan found that name familiar—come to think of it, that Mage must be skilled enough to boldly venture into the Wood Nymphs’ Forest.

He hence sent party invites to Xue Yu, Lin Suyue and Shadow Sadwind.
