Chapter 184: Purgatory Bow (1/2)
As it turned out, He Yi enjoyed hoarding gold even more than I did. My bag had only ever held two thousand gold at once. Hers however had a total of three hundred and sixty thousand gold!
How else could you describe her beside the words “rich and wealthy”? She wasn’t worried that gold’s value would deprecate over time at all!
He Yi gave everyone 50k gold each as promised, and at this point of time, it was worth roughly fifty thousand RMB in real life. Everyone liked making quick buck like this, and for Beiming Xue and Moonlight Stone, it was the perfect gift to take back to their parents and show their filial piety.
The last equipment drop was a bow. I tossed it into Beiming Xue’s hands without even bothering to check the stats.
No one had an objection to offer. She was the only archer in the party, she was the second-highest damage dealer, and her performance in Myriad Poison Cave left nothing to be desired. If her beautiful Evil Spirit Volley hadn’t dominated everyone’s eyeballs, then her ridiculous DPS would be the last straw that broke the camel’s back.
The bow was made from dark blue divine iron, but I couldn’t tell what the bowstring was made of. It was covered in wavy light, and the aura it exuded was calm but powerful!
Beiming Xue’s pupils were colored with joy the moment she received the bow. She literally blanked out for five seconds or so before she finally snapped out of her reverie and showed us its stats.

……
“Wha… what an amazing bow…” He Yi and Murong Mingyue’s mouth fell open in shock. Even I had to swallow my surprise. Godddamit, I really need to switch out Ghost Ice Soul the second I find something better. This Purgatory Bow had 40 more Attack than my sword, and that was considering that bow-type weapons were designed to be 25% less powerful than sword-type weapons, that were 25% less powerful than axe-type weapons. Yeah, this bow is way better than my Ghost Ice Soul...
Besides that, this Purgatory Bow also added 64 Agility and 10% long-ranged attack power. I could only imagine how hard Beiming Xue’s arrows would hit after she equipped the weapon!
I checked her level. She was Level 69 like me because unlike the four of us who had died, she didn’t drop a level in the boss fight.
He Yi smiled faintly. “Lil Beiming is probably the number one archer in the China server, isn’t she? Hehe, that’s great~~”
Beiming Xue smiled at the compliment but said, “Number one? No, I don’t think I’m there yet, not until I beat Transient Smoke and Clouds of Candle Dragon!”
“Transient Smoke and Clouds!?” He Yi exclaimed in astonishment.
Today, Transient Smoke and Clouds was practically a god in the hearts of the Chinese players. He was an incredible player who had kited countless legends to their deaths, and he was the guiding light in the hearts of every wannabe archer in China. It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to call him a milestone...
I couldn’t help but curl my lips when I saw the competitive spirit shining in Beiming Xue’s eyes. “Transient Smoke and Clouds isn’t that good, really. Just train for another half a year and I guarantee you’ll slaughter him like a lamb…”
Beiming Xue nodded before asking me with a smile, “Boss, have you ever fought Transient Smoke and Clouds in Spirit of Grief?”
“Yeah, I ran into him twice during WSL 2022 and destroyed him both times…”
“Wow! Boss, you’re amazing!” Beiming Xue’s eyes were filled with adoration.
Then Murong Mingyue interrupted and said, “The next year in the same event, someone got kited like a dog and forfeited the match…”
“Fuck, can you not dampen my spirits, sis…” I rolled my eyes at her before clenching my fists. “If Transient Smoke and Clouds showed his face in Floating Ice City today, I’m seventy percent sure I’d kick his ass!”
“Why not a hundred?”
“It will be a hundred percent after I equip the Purgatory War Armor and Purgatory War Helmet!”
“Boo boo~”
……
He Yi said, “Lu Chen, there are still two skill books to go through, right? Let’s distribute them quickly so we can get some much-needed rest!”
“Yeah!”
I took out the skill books and touched them gently, bringing up the stat screen.
