Join the ServerHuo Jinjin looked utterly defeated, a picture of despair after being slapped down by fate for daring to resist. “Why… why! Over a hundred times! You win every time. Where the hell is Science Guy? Are you a dog?”
Turret Fairy raised her chin, pointing it at Huo Jinjin, arms crossed proudly. “Didn’t you hear Ya Shen? Mysticism can’t save the unlucky, and spending can’t change fate! God used a coal ball to make your head when He created you! Reroll, you scrub!”
With the two first kills and the experience rewards from the two floor boss-level monsters, our whole team’s levels skyrocketed. Currently, Turret Fairy and Qingyu were level 36, I was level 41 with 80% experience, the girl was level 39, and Huo Jinjin was level 33.
So that level 40 staff—Turret Fairy couldn’t equip it yet.
“Alright, next… the second purple piece!”
[Ektus’s Mirror – Armor (Set)]
[Cloth Armor – Level 60]
[Physical Defense 180, Strength 460, Spirit 16]
[0 Bonus Skill: Sakura Slash]
[Sakura Slash: Launch the enemy into the air, leap to pursue, then slam them down heavily, dealing massive damage! (Adds 800% Physical/Attack Power)]
[*Cannot be equipped by non-sword weapon classes*]
When I saw this equipment, my first thought was—Damn, that’s strong!
My second thought—What the hell is this? A joke?
As cloth armor, adding Strength and Spirit was one thing. Sakura Slash being a physical attack was another… but it also restricted equipping to sword classes!
The only class that can equip swords is the Warrior, and Warriors can only wear plate armor! This cloth armor looks strong, but Warriors can’t equip it at all! If they could, this would be the strongest equipment in the current game, bar none!
A level 60 blue-purple armor usually has total stats around 500. This piece, as a purple, has total stats of 800… but the main thing is the skill—a skill that adds eight times damage is practically a one-shot kill!
However, it didn’t matter… it couldn’t be equipped!
Yingning looked troubled as she held the piece, trying to shove it into the equipment slot countless times, but each attempt was mercilessly rejected. The system message wasn’t about insufficient level—it was about class restriction.
“Looks like it’s exclusive gear for some hidden class. Sigh…” Yingning sighed. “Let’s look at the next piece. I’ll hold onto this one for now.”
No one objected. I revealed the third item’s attributes.
[Ektus’s Flame Residue]
[Ring – Level 40]
[Increases Fire Spell Damage by 20%]
“Long live Ya Shen!” Turret Fairy cheered and rolled need.
The only fire mage in the team was Turret Fairy, so the item went to her without dispute.
Huo Jinjin was quite bitter, his face full of disdain. “A single raid yields two purple items… Are you a dog?”
“Right, right! Woof woof! Why don’t you try being a dog for once?” Turret Fairy pocketed the ring, looking at me like I was a god of wealth, her eyes shining gold. “Speaking of which… even though Ya Shen always pulls the top prize, they always benefit everyone…”
Hearing Turret Fairy’s words, my nose stung—I had drawn a set for Qingyu before, and now two purples for Turret Fairy. Finally, a Warrior-exclusive drop, but Yingning couldn’t equip it… Ah, my heart was so tired.
Could it be that I’m not actually lucky? Is my luck fake? Do I only have luck for others?
Suppressing the bitterness inside, I took out the highlight of this raid—the first pseudo-god item.
[Ring of Faith]
[Ring – Level 40]
Every god-tier equipment has its own origin and story. These stories often involve some secret of the Adell continent or the past of heroes… When obtaining the equipment, players can see these stories.
Below the equipment’s name was a detailed description.
[Equipment Description: The layout of Luzhen’s tavern was like those elsewhere… (omitted)… Anduin was the only one who drank standing while wearing a long gown. He was tall; his face pale, wrinkles often mixed with scars; a head of messy blond short hair… (omitted)… When he spoke, he always filled his sentences with ‘thee’ and ‘thou,’ making people half understand. Because his surname was An, others gave him the nickname Anduin from the half-understood phrase ‘Holy crap, shepherds Anduin’ on the tracing paper.
Whenever Anduin arrived at the tavern, all the drinkers would look at him and laugh. Some would call out, “Anduin, you’ve got new scars on your face!” He wouldn’t answer, just said to the counter, “Warm two bowls of frenzy potion, and a dish of spiced beans.” Then he laid out nine coppers. They deliberately shouted loudly, “You must have stolen something again!” Anduin’s eyes widened as he said, “How can you slander a man’s innocence like that…” “Innocence? The day before yesterday, I saw you stealing Valeera’s poison with my own eyes, and you got hung up and beaten!” Anduin’s face flushed, veins bulging on his forehead as he argued, “Mind theft can’t be considered stealing… Mind theft!… The Holy Light’s business, can it be considered stealing?” Then came hard-to-understand words like “the Holy Light shall triumph” and “I want the Old Master, not Shield Slam,” which made everyone roar with laughter; the tavern was filled with a lively atmosphere.]
That was the end of the description… Anduin, I had heard of this person. He was recorded in the game’s chronicles, said to be the patriarch of the Empty Empty Thief Sect, who roamed the Adell continent for years with his signature technique [Mind Theft].
Though his class was Priest, he played the Priest to a new height, with a famous line echoing across Adell: “The Holy Light will judge you!”
Dare to be dirty!
I could study all that later. Right now, I was very curious what kind of equipment such a likable guy would leave behind!
[Adds Spell Attack 25, Spirit 25]
[Bonus Skill: Mind Theft]
[Mind Theft: Select a target, randomly copy two of the target’s skills, and place them into your equipment slot as cards. Use the cards to cast the copied skills. Cards last 30 seconds, cooldown 1 minute.]
Wow, so strong!
This time it was really strong!
As expected of a pseudo-god item!
“I want this for sure! I must inherit the will of the Holy Light!”
No one objected. This equipment was obviously most beneficial for Priests. It could give Priests offensive capability. Although my current damage output wasn’t weak, my skill cooldowns were still quite long, and I couldn’t chain skills seamlessly like Turret Fairy and the others could.
While this item would also be useful for other classes, their skills were already self-contained. They had almost no opportunity to use skills from other classes. But for me, when the teammates’ health was above safe levels, I should try to deal as much damage as possible.
With this equipment, our five-man team would essentially have the firepower of six.
The Holy Light’s business… can it be considered stealing? Hehehe…
