Chapter 366: Support You Forever (2/2)

System Notice: Congratulations, your skill ”Ghost Deity Armor” has successfully fused with ”Wind Shadow Shield.” You have produced a new skill—”Ghost Deity Armor (Wind Shadow)”!

……

Ghost Deity Armor (Wind Shadow) I: Summons the power of the dead and transforms it into armor. Defense +8%, and a 3% chance to force physical attacks to miss.

The reborn Ghost Deity Armor surprised me again. Holy shit! I still remembered that Ghost Deity Armor added 5% Defense at Rank 1, but this new skill was 60% stronger than the original skill. How high would my Defense be at Rank 10?

Also, at Rank 1 physical attacks already had a 3% chance to miss. So at Rank 10, the miss rate should be between 25% to 40% or so, right? What a lifesaver!

The pleasant surprises seemed like it would never end today. I tried chatting with Rinser again, but the two skills were all I could wring out of the miserly old man. Still, I was satisfied with my Thousand Ice Slash and Wind Shadow Ghost Deity Armor. I was already much stronger than I was before, but once I retrained all my skills to Rank 10 my power would grow even higher!

I crushed a return scroll and teleported back to Sky City. At this point, my vision was actually starting to blur a little. I would probably die if I stayed up any longer, and I saw no reason to since the boss was killed, and I had laid claim to the first dibs to fourth promotion. It was finally time to go to bed!

I logged off after greeting Murong Mingyue, He Yi, and Beiming Xue.

Then, I took off my gaming helmet, took a bath and blacked out on the bed in no time.

……

I dreamed of passing seasons in my dreams, unaware of the passage of time in reality. By the time I woke up again, I discovered that it was past 3 am. I had been sleeping for 15 hours straight!

I opened my eyes and looked outside the window for a second. It had been raining non-stop in Suzhou as of late.

I closed my eyes and went back to sleep again.

When I opened my eyes again, it was 6 in the morning. I rose to my feet, washed myself, and went downstairs to buy some breakfast. By the time I returned, Murong Mingyue and Beiming Xue had returned as well.

Murong Mingyue smiled while we were chugging down our breakfast. ”Lu Chen did a great service to our guild yesterday, hehe. Not only did we finally score one over Candle Dragon, this is the first time we overshadow Candlelight Shadow completely. Not only did he miss his signature Famous General Skill, ‘Martial God’, he even missed the chance to become the first fourth-promotion player…”

I smiled. ”I got lucky, that’s all. If I hadn’t entered that secret map by accident, I might not have gotten ‘Martial God’. I gotta say though, Famous General Skills really are as scary as they come. These buffs are absolutely ridiculous. I heard that each person can only have one Famous General Skill, so the two of you should work hard as well!”

”Mn mn!”

Beiming Xue asked me with a smile, ”By the way, big bro, the Heaven-stealing Sword sitting at the first place of the Weapons Ranking is yours, am I right?”

I nodded. ”You found me out!”

”Wah, that’s amazing…” Beiming Xue exclaimed in envy before urging me, ”Why don’t you take Sister Mingyue and I on that grinding trip today, big bro? Show us how powerful your new sword is!”

”No problem!” I thumped my chest reassuringly. Right now, there were no shadow-rank mobs below 125 that could withstand the 14% lifesteal from the Heaven-stealing Sword, War Crush and Thousand Ice Slash. As long as I didn’t run out of Magic Consumables, I could fight tens of thousands of mobs and still do swimmingly.

That being said, my first priority of the day was to head to the palace and apply for a piece of land to open a shop. After all, it was unrealistic to think that the good days of equipment selling could last forever. Operating a shop wouldn’t make me filthy rich overnight, but it would provide me with a steady stream of income that wouldn’t dry up without warning.

Beiming Xue took a bite from her bread before remembering something. ”Oh right, there was an incredible equipment set sale at the auction house yesterday, the Frozen Earth leather armor set and the Gold-grade Outstanding Blood Maddened Lion metal armor set for auction. They were so good that Hegemon Palace, Flower Room, and Mad Dragon fought over them like maniacs…”

I replied, ”Yeah, those were mine too. Lin Yixin and I grinded them yesterday…”

”Fuck!”

Murong Mingyue shot me a look of disbelief and amazement. ”I should’ve known that you and a handful others are the only ones who could do this. I mean, I did suspect that the equipment sets had something to do with you when you told me that you and Beauty Lin are going to grind at Dragonbone Mountain Range, but really?”

I asked excitedly, ”So, how much did those equipment sell for?”

”The Blood Maddened Lion equipment set sold for over 2 million gold. The Frozen Earth sets also sold for more or less 80k each. Finally, there was a Dark Gold–grade Chest Armor of Barbaric Strength that sold for 110k. That one’s also yours, am I right?”

”Yep. Lin Yixin and I agreed to a 50-50 split, and I’ll transfer 20% of what I got to your account as the workshop’s capital.”

”Very good!” Murong Mingyue smiled. ”Lil Beiming and I actually found a Level 90 Dark Gold–grade scepter yesterday. We sold it for 100k and transferred 20k to the workshop’s account as well. I was planning to buy a couple of LVs and show off a bit, but with all this new income I’m going to buy a couple of diamond rings instead~~”

I exclaimed in astonishment, ”Diamond rings? What for? And why are you buying things that your future husband is going to give you anyway?”

Murong Mingyue puffed up her amazing chest before replying, ”Forget it, there are no reliable men in this world. I already made up my mind to stay single forever…”

Suddenly, she smiled deviously at me before saying, ”But if it’s you we’re talking about, then maybe I can consider it…”

I shook my head immediately. ”Thanks but no thanks. If you don’t want to get married that’s fine, worse comes to worst I’ll support you forever…”

“Fuck!”

Before Murong Mingyue could fly into a fit of rage, I escaped into my room with my soybean juice while saying, ”Get online soon, you two! I’m not busy today, so I’ll act as your MT and damage dealer for free, and let you choose the map we’re heading to! See you in half an hour!”
