Chapter 125: Chaos Necklace (2/2)
“Really?”
“Really. Why would I lie to you?”
“In that case, we’ll head there immediately. Are you there right now?”
“Mn. I’ll come out and help you once you arrive!”
“Okay~”
Excited by the news, Murong Mingyue left the chat to prepare while I went back to killing Frost Battle Wolves and collecting wolf pelts. Since Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls had Xu Yang and a blacksmith, weapons shouldn’t be a problem for the guild in the future. I might as well spend the extra effort and help Xu Yang rank up his Mining skill as much as possible!
I observed the third floor for a moment and found a ton of unusual plants. Too bad I didn’t know how to gather herbs. However, I knew exactly one beautiful woman who was an expert in this department!
I sent a message to Lin Yixin: “Herbalist Lin, how interested are you in a super herb gathering spot?”
Lin Yixin’s reply came quickly: “You know one?”
“Yep. The coordinates are (27854, 19833)!”
“Okay. Just gimme a minute. I still have two stacks of potions to sell!”
“...”
Dammit, she’s busy with business? What a waste of my gesture of love.
I stopped conserving my pots so I could clear out the third floor as soon as possible. Less than two hours later, I reached Level 62. During my grind I had collected over five hundred Rank 6 pelts. It should be enough for Yamete to improve his Armorsmithing skill.
It was time to turn in my quest, but I soon realized that the way back was clogged by monsters. This is the time I use my ultimate skill! I shouted, “Divine talent—Map wipe!”
Absolutely nothing happened at all. Fine, I’ll do this the mundane way instead. I muttered “Earth Escape” and went underground. Then, I slowly crawled my way back to the first floor!
By the time I reached the first floor, the density of mobs had become a lot more threatening than before. I carefully weaved my way to the entrance before revealing myself to the NPC, Soldier Hanson. Then, I turned in the items necessary to complete the quest: 10 Cat Claws, 10 Polar Bear Paws and 10 Ice Wolf Teeth!
“Ah!” Hanson rose to his feet agitatedly while clutching the quest items. “Young warrior, you are amazing! I can’t believe you actually killed all those powerful monsters! Come, this is the reward you deserve!”
Ding~!
System Notice: Congratulations, you have completed the quest “The Evil of Chaos Ice Cave.” You have gained 150000 EXP, 700 Reputation and the quest item, “Chaos Necklace”!
“Oh? A necklace…”
I was pleasantly surprised. I wasn’t expecting an A-rank quest to reward me with a necklace!
I hurriedly opened the backpack and found a shining necklace. It had a blood-red heart for a pendant, giving it a murderous appearance. I waved my hand, bringing up its stats screen. I was shocked.
Chaos Necklace (Silver-grade)
Strength: +27
Stamina: +25
Passive: Increases the user’s Attack by 4%
Level Requirement: 60
……
Cool! A necklace that adds Attack was top-tier to say the least!
In Heavenblessed, the chances of a necklace or a ring dropping were incredibly low, much less an awesome one that added a whopping 4% to Attack. Most people were incredibly disappointed when they discovered that their Bronze or Dark Steel–grade necklaces had useless bonuses like 4% fire resistance or 3% accuracy. In my case I hadn’t even seen the shadow of one even though I was past Level 60 already. It was a testament to the item’s abysmal drop rate.
The moment I equipped the necklace, my stats skyrocketed to a whole new level!
ID: Broken Halberd Sinks Into Sand
Class: Undead Swordsman (Silver Swordsman)
Level: 62
HP: 1900
Attack: 378~621
Defense: 402
Magic Resist: 228
Reputation: 20895
Luck: 0
……
At the current stage of the game, 621 Attack, 402 Defense and 228 Magic Resist should be pretty impressive. If I threw in Enhanced Bones and Ghost Deity Armor into the equation, then my actual Defense was probably around 800 points or so. My sky-high stats were enough to make most melee players wail in despair!
It was almost time for my “guests” to show up, so I left the Chaos Ice Cave and appeared next to the Green Giant.
I looked pretty impressive in my blood-red cloak, my shining armor and my Ghost Ice Soul, if I do say so myself. Holding my head high, I waited for Murong Mingyue, Xu Yang and Lin Yixin to arrive.
