Chapter 183: Moon Love (2/2)
Strength: +42
Stamina: +40
Passive: Increases user’s Defense by 7%
Passive: Increases user’s Magic Resist by 4%
Level Requirement: 70
……
175 Defense, 140 Magic Resist, 42 Strength and 40 Stamina? Holy shit, I didn’t think that an equipment at this stage of the game could have such amazing stats! There was nothing more a warrior loved than Strength and Stamina—it would be the opposite if it boosted Intelligence and Agility instead—not to mention that the equipment also had passives that boosted the user’s Defense and Magic Resist even further!
My heart was racing in excitement. I had to rub my eyes repeatedly to confirm that they weren’t playing tricks for me! The stats provided by the Level 70 Dark Gold–grade metal armor almost outstripped anything I had ever equipped in the past.
I looked at my Soul Turmoil Armor and took note of its paltry 48 Defense and 11 Stamina. There was no comparison. I was almost ashamed that I had cherished the Soul Turmoil Armor like my own kid...
Staring at the Purgatory War Armor’s stats, He Yi said, “I’m only Level 62, and you’re Level 69. This is a Level 70 metal armor, so it’s yours, Lu Chen.”
Murong Mingyue giggled from the side. “You’re too reserved, Eve. I thought you were going to roll for this equipment even though Lu Chen is the main damage dealer and tank of the party, and you’re just the freeloader…”
He Yi’s cheeks turned red. “Come on, I’m not an unreasonable person. Anyway, this chest armor is yours, Lu Chen!”
I nodded and tossed the Purgatory War Armor straight into my bag. I wasn’t a fan of fake courtesies and pretenses. “Thank you all!”
“Let’s move on to the next loot, shall we?”
“Yeah.”
This time, I waved my hand across the bloody helmet. The moment the stat screen appeared, everyone turned into stone once more.
Purgatory War Helmet (Dark Gold–grade)
Defense: 145
Magic Resist: 100
Strength: +37
Stamina: +35
Passive: Increases user’s hit rate by 15%
Passive: Increases user’s physical defense by 3%

……
Fuck me, another Dark Gold–grade item? It was even a part of the Purgatory equipment set! I… I’m rich! My strength was going to skyrocket the moment I hit Level 70!
I took a look at my experience bar. I was the one who scored the last hit on the Poison Ghost King, so I got a lot of experience as a result. I was sitting at Level 69 and 91% experience, and I should be close to, or rather certainly will be Level 70 after turning in this quest. Hell yeah!
I murmured as I looked back and forth between the Purgatory War Armor and He Yi. “Eve, boss, what do you think?”
He Yi rolled her eyes at me before replying, “What else? Just take it, you lucky man…”
“Leader is great! Leader is wise!”
“...”
Still overjoyed by the loot I had gotten from this boss fight, I went on to check the necklace that glowed like the moonlight. It had a crescent-shaped pendant, and it looked incredibly beautiful. The girls were clearly enchanted when they saw how pretty the necklace was. Well, that’s women for you. There was nothing they loved more than shiny and pretty stuff!
Moon Love (Dark Gold–grade)
Strength: +45
Stamina: +42
Passive: Increases user’s max HP by 20%
Passive: Increases user’s HP regeneration by 50%
Property: Female Only
Quest Trigger: ???
Level Requirement: 65
……
Fuck! This necklace was as mysterious as it looked...
Everyone was speechless for a moment. The necklace gave over 80 free stats and boosted its wearer’s max HP by 20%, as well as HP regeneration by 50%. Clearly, this equipment was meant to be worn by a magic knight, a Level 65 female magic knight to be exact. Well, there was no way I could wear this even if I was tempted by its stats and passives!
I waved the necklace once and asked everyone’s opinion. “This necklace gives amazing stats and triggers a quest after you put it on, and I’m almost certain it has something to do with its name, Moon Love. Since it boosts Strength, Stamina, max HP and HP regen, it should be worn by a magic knight… does anyone have a problem if I give this to Eve?”
The girls looked reluctant, but only because the necklace looked incredibly beautiful, not because they were tempted by the stats.
He Yi looked dazed as she accepted Moon Love. Her eyelashes were trembling, and her mouth was opened as if she wanted to say something. In the end, she looked at everyone and said, “This necklace is too precious for me to take without giving something back even if it is made to be worn by a magic knight. So…”
He Yi thought for a moment before continuing, “I’m going to pay everyone 50000 gold as compensation. Is that okay?”
Boss was the boss. 200k RMB out of the bank and she didn’t look fazed in the slightest...
Murong Mingyue curled her lips. “Eve, you don’t need to act like this. Didn’t Lu Chen nab 2 Dark Gold–grade equipment for himself just a minute ago?”
“But Lu Chen’s the main carry of the party, and I’m the freeloader…”
I gave her a reassuring smile when I saw the conflicted expression on her face. “Alright, let’s just do as the boss says, okay? She’ll pay us 50000 gold each in exchange for Moon Love!”
“Mn!”
