Chapter 52 (2/2)

Dong Bo Qing Shi gritted his teeth.

However, it was an undeniable truth that whatever Ji Rong said about having defenses against external harm by others, had subconsciously affected Qing Shi, letting him know that he would still have to depend on himself in the future. After all, following his brother and depending on him forever would be meaningless.

“Damn it! Damn it! I’m so agitated!” Qing Shi was very uncomfortable within his heart. For so long, he had been living in such a carefree manner. Yet, after hearing Ji Rong’s words, his mind was a mess.

Snowrock Castle, within the study room.

Xue Ying was smiling as he sat on the side, looking towards his two uncles testing out all the refined armor, boots, and other equipment.

“Xue Ying, you have surely splurged a lot on these…” Hong Ling could no longer control his curiosity. “How much did you actually spend on all this equipment?”

“Hahaha… It isn’t much.” Xue ying bellowed out, “This time when I went out on the mission, there were some twists in the end. I actually met a Legend-ranker.”

“Legend ranker?”

Zong Ling and Tong San were both aghast.

God.

Legend rankers to them were considered to be akin to that of the boundless skies, a rank which they would never touch upon. Thus, when Xue Ying finally attained the strength of a Legend ranker, they were extremely excited about it. Still, they felt that Xue Ying was still too young, and that was because he had not comprehend the state of being ‘One with the World’, he would lose out to the older and more experienced Legend rankers.

Who would have thought otherwise that during this mission, Xue Ying actually met a Legend ranker!

“Even though he was really strong, and that he has some powerful techniques, I still manage to dispose off him.” Xue Ying joyful whenever he thought back. “He died and I live on! I obtained his storage treasure rings, and within it were a filthy vast amount of treasures! Haha… Buying all these is considered nothing much!”

Zong Ling and Tong San both felt proud at this.

“Xue Ying ah…” Zong Ling felt a little worried still. “You have met such an accident while partaking in a Black Iron Order mission. You say you want to accumulate 20,000 merit points to save Dong Bo and Ah Yu… Yet these 20,000 merit points… let’s say you accept an easier Bronze Order mission, you will only attain 1000 merit points at most. But those dangerous Bronze Order mission that gives 10,000 merit points in one go…”

“All Black Iron Order missions already have the risk of escalating its danger level. If we consider the Bronze Order mission that has a danger level way beyond that of the Black Iron Order missions… and you have to complete two of the missions?” Hong Ling felt disturbed at this, “It’s extremely unsafe! How about you wait a while more, become stronger before accepting these missions?””Do not worry, Uncle Zong. I’m able to take care of myself.” Xue Ying was touched by his worry.

Still, even after hearing his words, Zong Ling was still uneasy.

How could one take care of himself against the unknowns?

A simple Black Iron Order mission escalated up to it having a Legend ranker enemy. If we consider those harder Bronze Order mission, would it suddenly escalate up to the presence of a Transcendent within? Even though the Dragon Mountain Manor’s missions were not suicidal, accidents could always happen.

“Brother.” Outside the room came Qing Shi’s voice.

“Qing Shi, you came.” Xue Ying smiled at his brother. Qing Shi pushed open the door to the study room. He was already jumping with excitement. “Brother, I thought you said you are going to be giving me something? What is it? Uwahh! Uncle Zong, Uncle Tong, how come you’ve changed? The armour you are wearing looks really extraordinary! What about your boots? I’ve never seen them before?”

“This time when I went out on the mission, I’ve actually gained something. Thus, I decided to buy you guys some gifts.” Xue Ying grinned. “I’ve also bought many things for you.”

Saying that, with a wave of his hand…

Hu Hu Hu …

Beside them appeared many treasures. All of them were Heaven’s grade mage equipment.

“This robe contains a complete ‘Ice armour’ spell matrix within. Regardless of whether it is the frost armour or Water ripple spell, with this inbuilt matrix, you could instantaneously cast them! It has half the power of a Meteor mage.” Xue Ying slightly introduced the equipment. “This wristband contains a small-scale Frost domain spell matrix within. It has a third of the power of a Meteor mage. This ring…”

Xue Ying introduced one item by one item.

Qing Shi was shocked and excited at the same time.

He finally understood why his brother gave You Yue such an extravagant gift – the staff and the robe – even though he did not give her anything the past few years. It was after all a huge gain during this mission that allowed him to become so wealthy, that even refined equipment worn currently by Uncle Zong and Uncle Tong were worth even more than what was given to You Yue. As for his gifts? Needless to say, it costs much more.

All of these equipment are actually Heaven’s grade Mage equipment, which were things he dared not even think of having in the past.
