Chapter 118: Fearless Chestplate
I shook my head with a smile, “Let’s roll it. I already took the Petrifying Necklace, if I also take this Gold Armour, can your mind handle it?”
Bing Cha was very intelligent, so she said with a smile, “Alright, I’ll take this Fearless Chestplate! Thanks!”
“It’s nothing……”
Seeing the Fearless Chestplate enter Bing Cha’s inventory, it felt like my heart was being cut. How could I not feel pained…...
Like this, a Gold Boss was killed. Purple Rhyme, Bing Cha, and I received benefits, making us all feel pleased. The 300 gold coins dropped were taken by Ling Yue. Mages spent quite a bit, there’s no way around this.
I could kill monsters with the Thousand Bladed Arrows and I could use an entire inventory of MP pots for ten hours, but a bag filled with MP pots would only last Ling Yue around three hours. So whenever she went to level, Ling Xue would help her big sister bring many pots, that way she could level for a long time.
But it was very cost effective killing alligators here. A single mob didn’t take that many spells, which was probably one of the reasons Ling Yue came here.
When noon came, I finally reached level 43. Everyone had pretty much consumed most of their potions and the girls were complaining that they were angry. So Ling Yue decided to head back to the city with everyone to stock up while also going offline to eat before coming back in the afternoon.
With several flashes of light, we appeared in Sunset City’s square.
Purple Rhyme, Bing Cha, and I all went to the appraisal shop, while the others came along to experience the stats of a piece of Gold Armour.
When our group came in, Purple Rhyme was the first to put her equipment on the counter.
The appraiser looked over the Great Earth Staff and said in a deep voice, “Appraisal fee, 200 gold coins!”
Purple Rhyme was a bit surprised, so I asked, “Do you have enough gold coins?”
She gave a soft laugh, “Un.”
After saying this, there was a flash of light from the Great Earth Staff and its stats were revealed.
[Great Earth Staff] (Silver Equipment)
Magic Attack: 120-160
Intelligence: +21
Vitality: +18
Additional: Increases healing by 120 points at most.
Required level: 40
…...
It increased healing by at most 120!
A single piece of equipment could increase healing by this much, it really was rare. If one was fully equipped with equipment like this, they could heal over 1000 HP with each spell!
Purple Rhyme was very happy and changed to the Great Earth Staff. Instantly, a glowing staff appeared in her hand and it made her beautiful face even more charming.
Ling Yue said with a smile, “Like this, our team’s healing will be even safer!”
Purple Rhyme nodded with a faint smile, “Un, thank you, Ling Yue!”
Ling Yue was a bit surprised, “You…..How do you know I’m called Ling Yue?”
Purple Rhyme blinked, “It’s fine to know. I know you, but you don’t know me…..”
Ling Yue saw she didn’t want to speak, so she didn’t ask.
Ling Xue urged me, “Hey! Quickly appraise the Petrifying Necklace!”
I immediately came forward and handed over the Petrifying Necklace. After being charged 150 gold coins, it immediately lit up.
[Petrifying Necklace] (Silver Equipment - Necklace)
Strength: +25
Vitality: +25
Additional: When attacking, has a 10% chance to petrify the target.
Required Level: 43
…...
I was too shocked. I never thought that this necklace would actually reach a 10% petrifying change. It could be imagined that with such a high chance, I would be invincible in close combat!
In my wild joy, I switched out my necklace and my stats jumped up. My attack power went up to 438-566 (Spear) and 640-756 (Bow)! The damage of my bow could already surpass that of a level 50 archer!
At this time, Bing Cha also put the Fearless Chestplate on the table. Who would have thought that the appraiser would give such a high price, “Appraisal fee, 500 gold coins!”
“Ah! It’s this expensive……” Bing Cha’s mouth opened wide in shock.
I also said, “Just the appraisal fee is 500 gold coins. The price of a piece of Gold Equipment is around there, this really is dark!”
Ling Xue looked at me and said, “Idiot, don’t say these useless things. Bing Cha definitely doesn’t have that many gold coins, you should pay for it!”
I was surprised, “You’re also rich, why do we need to use my money!”
Ling Xue said, “Helping a beauty like Bing Cha pay her appraisal fee is a big chance for you, others can’t get it even if they wanted it!”
I was stunned. A chance already cost 1000 RMB, to be honest, I really didn’t want to grasp this chance…...
But I obediently took out 500 gold coins. There was no other way, although I wasn’t the richest person in the studio, I was the one with the most gold coins.
Bing Cha was a bit moved as she said, “Bookworm…..this. Un, in the future, I…..Un, in short…..”
Seeing the calm Bing Cha acting shy like a little girl, I was stunned. I couldn’t help saying, “Bing Cha, are you really nervous? It’s only 500 gold coins. You can just give me back this money when you have money. Even if you don’t want to repay it, I won’t want it back, so relax!”
Bing Cha gave a laugh and said, “This will be on you then!”
Then there was a flash of light and the stats of the Fearless Chestplate appeared in the team chat.
[Fearless Chestplate] (Gold Equipment - Armour)
Defense: 155
Magic defense: 120
Strength: +28
Vitality: +20
Additional: Increase’s user’s defense by 100.
Required Level: 45
Required gender: Male
…...
Bing Cha was stunned and only after a while did she mutter, “This, could it be fate? Wu, wu, wu, wu, wu, wu, what a waste of this big sister’s prayers to god……”
Everyone was speechless. Ling Yue said with a bitter smile, “Bing Cha, don’t be sad, it’s just a piece of Gold Equipment. We’ll definitely be able to get a piece of female restricted armour in the future. This abnormal system, why does it have this kind of restriction…..”
Bing Cha pursed her lips and gave the Fearless Armour to me as she said, “Here, Bookworm, it really is your lucky day today! Humph, humph, it’s a good thing that your paid the 500 gold coins yourself, otherwise this big sister really would have suffered a loss!”
Taking the Fearless Armour, I was filled with joy and a bit of guilt. I immediately took off the Petrifying Necklace and said to Bing Cha, “This you’re giving me this Fearless Necklace, then I’ll give you this Petrifying Necklace to make up for it a bit……”
Bing Cha rejected me, “I don’t want this. Something that you’ve already worn, how can you not feel embarrassed giving it to me, there’s no sincerity at all! Then again, you can make use of its might more compared to me…..”
I was clearly feeling awkward, “Then, how should I repay you?”
Bing Cha said with an ambiguous smile, “You don’t want to owe me a favour that much?”
I was stunned, “What is this……”
Ling Xue on the side couldn’t take this anymore, so she said in a commanding tone, “Little fool, give big sister Bing Cha 2000 gold coins! You’ve already taken the Petrifying Necklace, so these 2000 gold coins can be considered a bit of compensation!”
I nodded since I could accept this idea.
But when I looked at the gold coins in my inventory, I felt awkward. I actually only had 1924 gold coins!
“That, Bing Cha, how about I give you 1500 now? When I log on in the evening to get more money, I’ll give you the rest, alright?” I tentatively asked.
Bing Cha pursed her lips into a faint smile, “Alright, alright, you really are something!”
So I happily gave 1500 gold coins to Bing Cha and she happily exchanged it for several thousand RMB before saying, “Who wants to go shopping with me tonight, I don’t have that many clothes~~”
The girls all revealed happy looks and Ling Xue said with a smile, “I’ll go with big sister, we haven’t gone out in a long time!”
Zi Yue, Summer, and the others also wanted to come and said in a voice with no negotiations, “Bookworm should go too!”
I firmly said, “I’m not going!”
Who knows if I would still be alive after going. Girls going shopping had no limit to their strength, so I wouldn’t be able to keep up.
Summer saw that I didn’t agree and threatened me, “If you don’t come, I’ll bring Ling Xue to a bar and throw her on the street for someone else to take home!”
Ling Xue wasn’t angry, she just looked at me with an expectant face with a bad smile on her beautiful face.
I hesitated a bit before changing my mind, “Whoever doesn’t want me to go, I’ll go against them!”
Purple Rhyme looked at us, looking quite envious.
So everyone planned on logging in in another hour or two to continue leveling before logging off.
I put the Fearless Armour in the warehouse before logging off. This Gold Armour had 155 defense and an additional 100, for a total of 255 defense, this defense already surpassed the stats that a piece of Gold Equipment should have. According to what I knew, a level 40 Gold Armour only had 140 defense and this Fearless Armour added 100 points of defense, as well as 120 points of precious magic defense, it really was a super tank item!
Before tonight came, I still had the chance to reach level 45. When I put on the Fearless Armourat that time, I would be a full meat shield and could even surpass Ling Xue’s armour set.
Happily logging off, Ling Yue had already ordered a table of delicious dishes from the restaurant next door. The meal was delivered in a few minutes and everyone sat down as the scent of the food filled the room.
Looking at the dishes, I asked, “Ling Yue, how much did this table of dishes cost?”
Ling Yue said with a smile, “I am a platinum member, so I got 20% off. This table costs around 400, it isn’t that much.”
I was a bit surprised, “This much money! We might not make that much from a single day of work, how will we make ends meet?”
Ling Yue shook her head, “We won’t. We got three pieces of equipment today and with how strong they are, we will become stronger. This is a form of investment and when our levels are high enough to swap them out, they are equipment that all players would want. We can sell them for RMB and the studio will earn a large amount!”
I nodded. In terms of doing business, I really wasn’t that smart.
Ling Xue tasted the soup before asking with a smile, “Big sister, does the studio have any funds now?”
Ling Yue revealed a faint smile, “Yes, but this is my spending money. Since I entered Blue Star, dad hasn’t given me any spending money. I only have around two hundred thousand right now. Xue’er, I heard that dad has given you quite a bit, how about you support big sister a bit?”
Ling Xue said in an innocent voice, “I don’t have anything either…..”
“Un? Last time dad gave you five hundred thousand and a bank book with five hundred thousand in it, did you spend it all?” Ling Yue was a bit surprised, “Xue’er, could it be…..you went shopping for LV bags all day?”
Ling Xue pursed her lips into a smile, “How could that be! It was just a few days ago, a junior of my contracted leukemia and the class president organized everyone to help her. I have the five hundred thousand that dad gave me to them. As for the bank book, I’m angry when I think about it. Last time I was washing my clothes, I left the bank book in them, so I can’t remember the account number or the password at all. I was just too lazy to look them up……”
Ling Yue was speechless, “Then how much do you have now?”
Ling Xue took a few bills from her pockets and counted it before saying, “Un, I still have 78 dollars. Big sister, you have to support me this summer vacation…..”
Ling Yue didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, “I can’t even take care of myself, have Bookworm support you!”
I was surprised before saying, “This isn't appropriate, right?”
Ling Xue was also stunned as her cheeks quickly turned red, looking incredibly beautiful.
Ling Yue saw this and said, “Then treat it as I said nothing. Don’t put this in your heart, but our studio’s situation is a bit serious after Xue’er spent all her wealth. Our team needs to gather and earn our living expenses!”
Everyone united as one and cleared the table.
After eating and drinking some ice tea, an hour had passed and we logged in again.
Purple Rhyme was already waiting in the square and beside her was Sword Flame Ghost Fire and Sword Flame Heavenly Punisher. When I appeared, Heavenly Punisher came forward and said, “Boss, you’re finally here. We’ve finished our mission!”
I was a bit surprised, “Heavenly Punisher, what mission?”
Heavenly Punisher looked at the beautiful Purple Rhyme on the side before saying with a smile, “Boss Dragon Soul wanted me and Ghost Fire here to protect Purple Rhyme. About that, you should know that a beauty like Purple Rhyme attracts a lot of attention and she is a cleric, so she needs someone to protect her. Since you are here, Ghost Fire and I are off to level!”
I said, “How about you come with us?”
Heavenly Punisher looked at the beautiful Xue Yue girls behind me and started drooling, “Really? How could I do that……”
Ghost Fire came forward and pulled Heavenly Punisher away by the collar as he said to me, “Boss Bookworm, sorry, this fellow Heavenly Punisher’s brain is burning. Dragon Soul is planning on fighting a boss this afternoon and we can’t lack this berserker, so you guys have fun!”
I nodded, “Un, the same to you! Help me give my regards to Dragon Soul.”
“You can just send a message to him.”
“......”
Purple Rhyme beside me revealed a smile. At this time, Ling Yue and Ling Xue had arrived, so after taking inventory and filling up on pots, we once again headed to Dead Wood Coast!
Chapter 118: Fearless Chestplate
I shook my head with a smile, “Let’s roll it. I already took the Petrifying Necklace, if I also take this Gold Armour, can your mind handle it?”
