Chapter 179: Abyssal Ring (1/2)
The next moment He Yi looked at me and asked, “Lu Chen, your Ghost Ice Soul isn’t as good as this Abyssal Sword, right? How about we make a trade?”
I gave it some thought before shaking my head. “Nah, it’s fine. You should have this weapon instead. My Ghost Ice Soul is inferior to this Abyssal Sword, but it’s only by ten Attack or so. You on the other hand need to get strong as soon as possible. You don’t want our guild to be a laughingstock because of you, right?”
Murong Mingyue also agreed with my opinion, “He’s right. The master should wield the Divine Armament, not the other way around! Eve, you should take this Abyssal Sword!”
I nodded. “That’s right. I’m about to hit Level 70 anyway, so I might as well hunt for a Level 70 weapon!”
Even Beiming Xue joined in on the persuasion. “Sister He Yi, just take it. The Abyssal Sword is great, but Lu Chen really doesn’t need it…”
Finally, He Yi sucked in a deep breath and smiled at all of us. “Okay, okay, I’ll take this Abyssal Sword, but all four of you are going to get a 20K increase in salary this month. Don’t try to stop me…”
I laughed immediately. “Why on earth would we stop you from giving us money?”
He Yi rolled her eyes at me cutely before accepting the sword. She took her time to caress it before finally putting it back into her bag.
Nice. This was a huge step forward in our plan to promote He Yi to a powerful war goddess. Sure, she was incomparable to Lin Yixin in terms of skill, but at least her equipment wouldn’t be too far behind.
My heart skipped a beat when I recalled Lin Yixin. I should treat her to lunch or something tomorrow. As for the excuse, me winning the “Who Will Fight Me” should be more than enough.
……
I moved on to check the second item dropped by the Myriad Poison Scorpion King, and everyone was surprised again.
Abyssal Chestplate (Gold-grade)
Defense: 145
Magic Resist: 90
Strength: +30
Stamina: +24
Passive: Increase user’s Defense and Magic Resist by 10%
Level: 62
……
Tsk tsk, a 10% increase to Defense and Magic Resist? If this chest armor doesn’t count as awesome, then I don’t know what does! Also, the Abyssal Chestplate was in the same equipment set as the Abyssal Sword. There was no equipment set bonus, but they still looked good together!
I tossed the Abyssal Chestplate into He Yi’s hands and said with a smile, “Good things come in pairs. Catch…”
He Yi made some weird noises, but all I could tell she was so happy she could faint. She even lost control of herself and gave me… and everyone else a kiss on the cheek, but she kissed me first, and that was important! Ah, a kiss from my beautiful guild leader… I’d better watch out for my heart rate!
The last equipment was a greenish ring. Again, it didn’t fail to surprise us.
Abyssal Ring (Gold-grade)
Strength: +35
Stamina: +27
Passive: Increases user’s melee attacks by 5%
Passive: Increases user’s Defense by 40
Level Requirement: 65
……
Tsk tsk, this ring was practically made for me!
Clutching the ring, I looked around me and said, “This ring boosts melee physical attacks, Strength, Stamina, and Defense, so yeah… ahem… you all know what I’m about to say...”
Murong Mingyue snorted. “Oh you, just take it already. You’re the highest damage dealer out of all of us. It’s only natural that you get something out of this!”
I nodded and smiled at her. “Sis, you understand me too well…”
“Oh, yes. In and out.” Murong Mingyue smiled dangerously at me, sending a shiver down my spine.
“I can’t talk to you when you’re like this!”
He Yi giggled and pointed at the purple book on the ground. “What’s up with that skill book?”
“Let’s see!”
“Okay!”
I picked up the skill book, its tooltip window appearing to everyone in the party channel—
Crushing Blow: Destroys the enemy’s defense with a crushing blow and deals double the damage. Only effective against targets who are using a defensive skill. Level Requirement: 65, Class Requirement: Warrior, Magic Knight, Wanderer
My brain literally blanked out for a second when I saw the description of the skill book!
God damn, I never thought I would get this skill book here of all places! The next time someone uses a defensive skill in front of me, I swear I’ll play them like a fiddle!
He Yi nodded at me with a smile. “Well, I need a few more levels before I can learn this skill, so this is obviously yours, Lu Chen…”
I learned the skill immediately and watched my skill list increase by one. I already feel the adrenaline rushing through my veins!
Next, considering that the rest of the girls didn’t get anything from the boss, I pointed at the Phantasmal Magic Stones on the floor and said, “Eve and I won’t be taking these. You girls split it among yourselves, okay?”
Murong Mingyue accepted my offer without hesitation. “Okay, let’s split the stones as soon as possible and get to the third floor already. Heavens, it’s so late already. I just hope we can finish this before the sun rises…”
While the girls were happily splitting the loot among themselves, I put on the Abyssal Ring and enjoyed the sight of my stats rising.
