Ling Xue nudged my arm with her elbow and said with a smile, "Dummy, go see what that equipment looks like."
I smiled slightly and was speechless. How could these girls be so afraid of undead monsters?
The Spirit of Grief Continent was a battlefield where the power of light fought against the power of darkness. Humans, elves, and half-beastmen worked together to fight against the invading Army of Darkness. The leaders of the Army of Darkness, the troops under the command of the devils, were evil wizards, undead knights, skeleton warriors, and so on. They were not cute in the slightest.
However, when we first came out of the starting village, the slimes and goblins were pretty good. They should be the type that girls like Ling Xue would like. However, these were only low-level mobs. In a game like Spirit of Grief that strived for realism, the higher the level of the monsters, the scarier their appearance would be. For example, great wizards, evil dragons, and so on.
When I thought of this, I walked next to the Beast Rider Corpse Soldier and picked up the wristguards and the gold coins. When I touched the exquisite wristguards, I felt a trace of solemnity reverberating from them.
Therefore, I didn't hesitate to share the wristguards' stats with the party —
[Gale Wristguards] (Silver-grade — Metal Armor)
Defense: 72
Strength: + 10
Stamina: + 4
Passive: Increases user's attack speed by 1%
Level Requirement: 40
Equipment Set Stats:???
(Unappraised)
… …
For a moment, everyone was shocked speechless. This Gale Wristguards was actually a Silver-grade equipment, and a set at that. More importantly, it increased attack speed. This was a treasure!
Logically speaking, if we gathered the full set, it should be able to increase attack speed by 10% or so. Not bad!
I glanced at Ling Xue beside me. She had just reached Level 34, so I said, "You still have a long way to go..."
Ling Xue quickly took the Gale Wristguards from my hands. She actually looked a bit embarrassed and smiled. "Preparing for a rainy day!"
Everyone laughed, and Zi Yun 'er said, "Then let's hurry up and kill. Let's try to kill all the monsters on the fourth floor by today. It would be great if we could gather the complete Gale Set!"
I nodded and asked, "Ling Xue, do you still have a test tomorrow?"
Ling Xue couldn't help but smile, "Idiot!
Have you forgotten that tomorrow is the weekend? "
I couldn't help but stare at Ling Yue. She smiled. "That means you don't have to come to work tomorrow and the day after. Focus on leveling!
Let's see who among us can be the first to reach Level 40 and become a proper player. I heard that the first player to become a proper player will be rewarded handsomely! "
Ling Yue looked forward to it and said, "In the past two days, there must have been a lot of people who gave up their rest time to level up!"
I sucked in a deep breath and said, "In that case, I won't rest for the next few days. I'll get to Level 40 first. I can't let a foreigner take the title of being the first to reach Level 40 in Spirit of Grief!"
Ling Yue nodded with a smile. "I was thinking the same!"
At this time, Zi Yun 'er had already lured the third Beastman Corpse Soldier. Everyone ganged up on it again.
However, the drop rate of the Gale Set, a Silver-grade equipment, was very low. Other than the second Corpse Soldier that dropped it, the rest of the dozen or so Corpse Soldiers that we killed didn't drop the Gale Set. Instead, they dropped a couple of Black Iron – grade metal armors. It was very surprising. However, I collected all of these Black Iron – grade equipment. Soon, a bunch of miscellaneous Black Iron – grade metal armors appeared in my bag!
Before I knew it, a few hours had passed. When I checked the time in the real world, it was already past three in the morning!
The girls looked tired, but the only thing that comforted us was that these Corpse Soldiers gave us a lot of experience. I had reached Level 36, but Ling Yue was still Level 37. She said with certainty that if we killed all the bosses on this floor, she would definitely reach Level 38. Ling Xue had also reached Level 35. However, the fastest leveler was Zi Yun 'er. She went from Level 30 when she first arrived to Level 34!
Another two pieces of the Gale Set had dropped. The helmet and boots were the only ones that hadn't dropped. The armor and legguards were also quite impressive, but the problem was that we had killed all the Corpse Soldiers on the fourth floor. It would probably be a few hours before they respawned.
Ling Xue stood in front of me and rubbed her eyes innocently. She said softly, "I'm so tired ~ ~ It looks like we won't be able to collect the complete Gale Set today. Dummy, let's come back tomorrow night, okay?"
I nodded happily. This place was really fast, and it would be perfect if I had the help of violent girls like Ling Yue and Ling Xue. Of course, I also needed Zi Yun 'er's healing.
At this time, Ling Xue looked at the arena at the center of the fourth floor and said, "I'm going to lure out the guardian boss of this floor. Should we go offline and rest after we kill it?"
Ling Yue nodded with a smile. "Yes, let's sleep early. Otherwise, dad will scold us for not doing our jobs again!"
Ling Xue giggled. I didn't feel good looking at the two sisters' expressions. I had no sisters, and my parents were divorced. They hadn't come to see me for more than a decade. It was said that they had left the country. As for me, I only finished university under the care of an auntie. Family seemed so far away from me, so far out of reach...
"Hey, Scholar, what are you thinking about?"
Ling Yue's voice came. She stood next to me and lightly bumped my arm.
I came back to my senses and smiled awkwardly. "Nothing, I'm just thinking... when can I have a group of friends? I won't be so lonely like a commander without an army!"
Ling Yue smiled faintly. "Aren't we all your friends now?
Why do you sound so miserable? It's like you're the bane of all existence... "
Zi Yun 'er also nodded with a smile. "Yes, we of Sword Fire are all your friends, unless you look down on us ~ ~"
I hurriedly smiled. "How could that be? I'm afraid I can't climb up to Sword Fire!"
Right at that moment, Ling Xue's beautiful figure appeared in front of us. She turned around to look, and then flew to our side with her Flowing Light Sword.
"Keng keng!"
The ground beneath his feet trembled, and with a loud "boom", the arena's door instantly shattered into pieces. An incomparably huge Berserk Beast's head stretched out, followed by a huge body. On the back of the Berserk Beast sat a fully armored BOSS, with a blue cloak fluttering in the wind. It was an awe-inspiring sight!
【Mount Corpse King】 (Gold Tier Boss)
Level:???
Attack:???
Defense:???
Health:???
Additional: Attacks paralyze, has a chance to stun the opponent
… …
As expected, we still couldn't see the boss's stats. However, it was enough to let everyone understand that this boss was far stronger than the previous ones. It was because it was a Gold Tier Boss!
A Gold Tier Boss had a chance to drop a Gold Tier equipment. Although the chance wasn't high, a single Gold Tier equipment was enough to turn a noob into an expert!
And so, I held my Gold Bow and said excitedly, "Beauties, tonight's final battle is coming!"
