Ling Xue's gaze comforted me because she cared about my feelings. However, Ling Xue's playful expression made me feel a bit uneasy. The little beauty had no worries about food or clothing, and she was indescribably beautiful. Could it be that she still lacked men?
Damn, this matter was really troublesome!
At this time, the Nether Tiger King had also reached the end of its life. Any OP boss was the same. Once players figured out its path and details, all that was left was to be defeated again and again.
My Ice Sword flashed, Shield Break Slash and Total Annihilation flew out. Then, I raised my sword and used Flame Dragon Soar. Under my powerful attacks, the Nether Tiger King finally let out an unwilling roar and its mountain-like body collapsed. At the same time, it dropped a large pile of gold and several dazzling equipment!
The girls cheered. The quest was finally complete. Everyone could finally go offline to eat and rest...
Ling Xue gave me a look and laughed lightly. "Dummy, you go pick up the equipment. I'll pick up the gold!"
"Mn, okay!"
This was a kind of trust. After all, in our Xue Yue Studio, there were only three people who had the qualifications to pick up the equipment dropped by the final boss. The Snow Moon twins and me.
Ling Xue tirelessly dug out the gold from the grass. I picked up the items that the Nether Tiger King dropped. They didn't disappoint me. A pair of shining armor boots, a thick and sturdy shield, a shining longsword, and a glowing ring.
Judging from the light, only the longsword glowed with a dark gold light. The others glowed with a faint golden light. That was the color of an Earth-grade equipment!
Everyone picked up the quest items. After the bloody Nether Tiger King's head, the quest was considered complete. So I gathered everyone and said, "Beauties, come and watch. It's time to draw the prizes!"
As a result, the girls surrounded me excitedly. Ling Xue and Ice Tea stood on either side of me. Their gazes were completely focused on the equipment, and they unwittingly stuck very close to me. As a result, my arms were blissfully exposed to the two beautiful women's breasts. That kind of bouncy, seductive feeling was suffocating...
"Ahem, let's take a look at this combat boot first. It's very likely to be mine …"
I coughed and posted the stats of the battle boots in the party channel — —
[Wind Chasing Boots] (Earth Tier – Armor)
Defense: 170
Strength: + 40
Stamina: + 35
Agility: + 25
Additional: Increases user's movement speed by 10%
Level Requirement: 80
(Unappraised)
…
Haha, it really is an Earth-grade pair of boots!
My eyes lit up as I stared at it. The secondary stats were super strong. It actually increased movement speed by 10%. After appraising it, it might even increase. Equipment that increased movement speed was rare. Up until now, I had only seen Ling Xue's Moon Shadow Cloak. Everyone knew that if you increased movement speed in PvP, you would have the upper hand.
The reason why Guan Yu was able to kill countless valiant generals had a lot to do with the Red Hare he was riding on. The Red Hare was fast, and when it caught up to someone, it would strike them in the head, killing them all. This principle was also applicable in the game. Fighting was all about strength and speed. If you had both, you would have the potential to become a king.
I immediately threw the boots into my bag and said with a smile, "Um, I already said that I would get first pick, so this Wind Chasing Boots is mine. Ling Xue, don't go back on your word …"
Ling Xue's eyes lit up and she stared at me excitedly. "Dummy, doesn't that mean you don't need your Level 60 Dark Gold – grade Heavenly Fire War Boots?
Give it to me, it's the same brand as my Shield of Heavenly Fire! "
I immediately agreed. "No problem, I'll give it to you once I reach Level 80!"
"Mn, okay!"
Jiangnan Qiao and Xun Meng were dumbfounded. "You're giving away a Dark Gold – grade item just like that?
Xue Yue Studio is different from other gaming workshops. The boys in school can argue for half an hour over two steamed buns … "
I smiled. It was Snow Moon, after all. The relationship between the members of Snow Moon had long since surpassed the scope of Qiao and Xun Meng's understanding.
Next, I looked at the second piece of equipment, the ancient shield —
[Shield of the Netherworld] (Earth-grade)
Defense: 450
Magic Resist: 200
Strength: + 40
Stamina: + 35
Agility: + 30
Passive: Increases user's Magic Resist by 15%
Level Requirement: 80
(Unappraised)
… …
I did my best to suppress my laughter. Another Earth-grade shield I could use!
I raised the shield and said, "Since we killed the boss together, why don't we roll for this shield? Ling Xue, Bing Cha, what do you say?"
Bing Cha shook her head. "No need. Our levels are too low, and it's too early for us to equip it. It's better to give it to the most useful person."
Ling Xue said, "Stop grumbling … Dummy, leave the Shield of the Netherworld and give your original Dark Gold – grade Thunderbolt Shield to Sister Bing Cha when you reach Level 80 as compensation. It's settled!"
I thought to myself, "Ling Xue is so domineering …"
"What, you don't like it?" Ling Xue raised her eyebrows and threatened me.
"I like it, I like it …" I said repeatedly. Actually, I knew that Ling Xue was only saying this to give me the most benefits. Aiya, this girl is becoming more and more likable …
And so, the second Earth-grade equipment fell into my bag. Next, the third equipment, a longsword with flowing light!
[Sword of the Snow Unicorn] (Earth-grade)
Attack: 450 ~ 640
Strength: + 45
Stamina: + 40
Agility: + 25
Passive: Increases user's physical attack power by 8%
Level Requirement: 80
(Unappraised)
… …
The elegant longsword had a unique streamline, and there seemed to be snowflakes floating on the snow-white blade. This sword not only had a beautiful name, but its appearance was also very fascinating. Without a doubt, the owner of this sword was very obvious.
Ling Xue wore the Snow Moon Unicorn Armor and the Snow Unicorn Ring. It looked like this famous equipment set was fated with her!
And so, I raised the Earth-grade Snow Flower Sword in my hand and said, "Do you want it, Ling Xue?"
Ling Xue was stunned. Her eyes were filled with hope, but she had told me to pick the equipment first, so it wasn't appropriate for her to say it out loud.
And so, I added insult to injury. "Er, my Ice Sword's level doesn't seem to be as high as this sword …"
Ling Xue was full of worry. Her beautiful eyes swept over the Snow Flower Sword. Clearly, she liked this sword a lot.
I saw this and smiled. "Take it. If I don't give it to you, it looks like you're going to steal it …"
In the next moment, the Snow Unicorn Sword was in the little beauty's hands. She held the longsword like she couldn't bear to part with it. Bing Cha looked a little wronged because she didn't have a choice in the first place.
I immediately sent Bing Cha a private message: "Bing Cha, you saw it yourself. Ling Xue really likes this sword, so please bear with it for a while. I'll give you 500k gold as compensation later …"
Bing Cha couldn't help but burst into laughter. Then, she replied: "Idiot, if Ling Xue likes it, then give it to her. My level is way lower than yours anyway. Maybe you'll be Level 90 by the time I'm Level 80. Once you get a better weapon, you can give me the Ice Sword …"
"Good girl, so you're eyeing my Ice Sword …"
"Yeah, I like it a lot!"
Looking at Bing Cha's sweet smile, I couldn't help but sigh. Damn, all the girls I've met these past few months are so understanding.
The reason I gave the Snow Unicorn Sword to Ling Xue was because she liked it. The second reason was because my Ice Sword's level was lower than the Snow Sword's, but it added 25% physical attack power. In reality, the Ice Sword was a Level 70 top-tier Earth-grade weapon, and the Snow Sword was an average Level 80 weapon. In terms of attack power, the Snow Sword couldn't compare to the Ice Sword at all. I could at least make up my mind about this.
Ling Xue happily obtained her first Earth-grade longsword. She beamed with joy. I unlocked the properties of the fourth equipment, the ring — [Ring of Holy Light] (Earth-grade)
Intelligence: + 40
Stamina: + 40
Agility: + 40
Passive: Increases user's healing by 25%
Level Requirement: 80
(Unappraised)
… …
Everyone let out another gasp. The moment we killed the last boss, it was clear that our karma had gone through the roof. Normally, an Earth Rank boss would be considered lucky if it dropped even one Earth-grade item, but we had actually dropped all four Earth-grade items!
Although the drop rate was high because it was the first time the Nether Tiger King had been killed, it could only be explained by karma. Of course, if you had to explain it with the bonus of the main character's aura, then that could also be explained.
Without a doubt, this Ring of Holy Light went to Qin Yun. Qin Yun's level was the highest among the priests, so giving it to her was the best choice.
Qin Yun accepted the Ring of Holy Light with a smile and carefully put it into her bag. The two priests next to her didn't have any objections, but they were clearly disappointed.
I saw this and walked over with a smile. "Thank you for participating in today's battle, beauties. But since you didn't get any equipment, I'll give you some compensation!"
After that, I gave each of them 50,000 gold!
50,000 gold, according to the current exchange rate, was about 30,000 RMB. For a moment, Xiao Qiao and Xun Meng were dumbfounded. They murmured, "Wow, so much money …"
Admittedly, for these two students, this amount of money was enough for them to live happily for a long time. But for me, this amount of money wasn't really much.
Xiao Qiao was about to decline, but when Ling Xue learned of the situation, she smiled and said, "Take it. Consider it Xue Yue Studio's compensation to you. Don't be embarrassed. You helped the studio get 4 Earth-grade items today. Hehe, this is what you deserve!"
Only then were the two girls willing to accept the money.
Ling Xue yawned and said, "I'm so tired. Let's go back to the city. It looks like the people from Heaven and Earth Calamity won't come again. After we turn in the quest, it's time to eat lunch and sleep!"
"Okay!"
Rays of white light flashed, and the group of ten returned to the city.
We went to the bounty officer and killed a lot of bosses. Right now, everyone's Reputation was over 20,000, so they could enter and leave the palace freely.
I took out the heads of the four tiger bosses and turned in the quest. The bounty officer immediately exclaimed, "Young warrior, you actually did it! Come, the kingdom will reward you!"
Ding ~!
System Notice: Congratulations, your party has completed the quest [Upwind Plains]. You have obtained 1050000 EXP, 5000 gold, and 10000 Reputation!
… …
A column of golden light fell from the sky, and I finally reached Level 79. I was only one step away from Level 80!
At the same time, the girls in the party also turned in their quests one after another. The generous EXP reward allowed all of them to level up!
I brought up the Heavenly Ranking again, but it was already refreshed. Eternal Moon Gaming's server was amazing, so the data on the Level Ranking instantly changed — 1. Frivolous Scholar LM79 Dragon Speaker 2. Windy Snow LM77 Swordsman 3. Breeze Touches the Moon LM76 Mage
4. Zi Yun 'er LM75 Priest
5. Hellfire LM75 Tempest Warrior
6. Seven-star Lamp LM74 Dark Swordsman
7. Sword Fire Ghostburn LM73 Dark Mage
8. Chrysanthemum Daohana LM73 Soul Shaman
9. Battle Soul Proud Heaven LM73 Berserker
10. Battle Soul Iron Wings LM73 Mage
… …
There was no doubt that Seven-star Lamp would have a hard time catching up after he died and dropped back to Level 70. This second class promotion spot was as easy as pie for me, and Ling Xue firmly occupied the number one spot among all swordsmen. The number two swordsman was Solitary Grave. He was only Level 72, 5 levels behind Ling Xue.
Ling Yue was still the number one mage, and Qin Yun was the number one priest. There was no doubt that we were the first players to change classes. When the time came, the hidden class experts of Xue Yue Studio would be a sight to behold, hahaha!
Ling Xue clapped her hands and said with a smile, "It's finally done!
I'm going to appraise my equipment. Dummy, you too? "
"En, okay!"
Thus, we returned to the eastern square and went to the appraisal office.
At noon, there were countless players who came to appraise their equipment. I hugged Ling Xue and squeezed through the crowd. After much difficulty, we finally reached the appraiser. Ling Xue took out the Snow Unicorn Sword and placed it on the counter.
Of course, although there were many people, it was not necessary. However, if equipment was stolen in the game, the ownership of the equipment would be determined the moment it was picked up. It was impossible to steal other people's equipment through robbing or stealing. That would be impractical. Otherwise, there would definitely be thieves in the city. Why would people work so hard to get equipment? They could just steal it from the city.
With a flash of light, the Snow Flower Sword revealed its true appearance. It shone brightly — —
[Snow Unicorn Sword] (Earth Tier)
Attack: 750-940
Strength: + 60
Stamina: + 52
Agility: + 45
Intelligence: + 40
Bonus: Increases user's physical attack by 15%
Slots: 3
Required Level: 80
… …
As expected, the Snow Flower Sword's attack bonus was a bit lower than the Ice Sword's, but it was still pretty good.
Ling Xue smiled as she put the Snow Flower Sword into her bag. I went up to appraise my two equipment. In total, I spent 24000 gold — [Windchaser War Boots] (Earth Tier — Armor)
Defense: 320
Magic Resist: 150
Strength: + 55
Stamina: + 50
Agility: + 45
Intelligence: + 40
Bonus: Increases user's movement speed by 20%
Required Level: 80
[Netherworld Shield] (Earth Tier)
Defense: 540
Magic Resist: 250
Strength: + 58
Stamina: + 55
Agility: + 40
Intelligence: + 35
Bonus: Increases user's magic resistance by 30%
Required Level: 80
… …
For a moment, my mind went blank. These two pieces of equipment were too OP!
The biggest highlight of the Windchaser War Boots was the 20% increase in movement speed. This was under normal conditions. I could imagine when I got to Lv 80 and equipped them, I would be as fast as flying!
On the other hand, the Netherworld Shield increased Defense and Magic Resist. It also increased Magic Resist by 30%. A new super tanky player with high attack was about to be born!
Ling Xue and I looked at each other and smiled. That was a smile of satisfaction … …
Log off, eat lunch, sleep, and continue to grind at night. My goal was Lv 80!
