Chapter 34: Luck Explosion

System Notification: You obtained the equipment “Slime King Ring”!

Slime King Ring

Description: A ring collected by the Slime King, one of the Slime King jewelry set. Collect three different pieces of the Slime King jewelry to unlock the set’s hidden attributes.

Equipment Quality: Purple, Set Component

Requirement: Level 10 or above to equip

Attributes:

Base Physical Attack Power +20

Base Magic Attack Power +20

Strength +15

Spirit +15

Extra Skill: Slime King’s Call

Slime King’s Call: Summon a Level 13 Slime to fight for the player. The summoned Slime’s color is random, lasts for 3 minutes, skill cooldown 5 minutes.

Special Effect: Collect three Slime King jewelry pieces to activate the set effect.

Exactly right!

The style was similar to the previously obtained Slime King Bracelet. Chen Mo rushed over, picked it up, and saw it was indeed the ring component of the three-piece Slime King set!

Three set components, and he already collected two!

The attributes of the Slime King Ring were similar to the bracelet, but the bracelet had additional Agility Attribute, while the ring had extra Spirit Attribute, and the extra added attributes were different.

Chen Mo equipped the Slime King Ring and summoned a Slime.

A Black Slime appeared. Chen Mo glanced at its attributes and found the Level 13 Black Slime actually had 100 Health Points. Without Slime Venom, even with Chen Mo’s current attributes, it would take some time to reduce the Black Slime’s 100 Health Points. It seemed the Slime summoned by this ring was somewhat useful.

Having obtained the second set component, Chen Mo was in a great mood and quickly picked up the remaining equipment and items.

With the Slime King Ring, Chen Mo didn’t care much about the other things.

But while checking the picked-up items, Chen Mo was stunned for a moment, then immediately burst into laughter.

Damn, his luck exploded today! There was actually another piece of Purple Equipment!

Refined Wolfskin Leggings

Description: Made from tough wolf skin, offering excellent defense capabilities.

Equipment Quality: Purple

Requirement: Level 10 or above to equip

Attributes:

Physical Defense +50

Magic Defense +55

Constitution +15

Spirit +20

Extra Attribute: Resistance (Low Level)

Resistance (Low Level): Each time the player receives an attack, the damage taken is reduced by 10 points, but only activates for damage above 15 points.

The Refined Wolfskin Leggings, as Purple Equipment, had attributes that were exceptionally strong! They were nearly twice as strong as the Tough Leather Leggings he currently equipped.

Normally, Purple Equipment was only one tier higher than Green Equipment, and the attribute difference shouldn’t be that large. But even within the same quality level, equipment could have good or poor attributes—this was the difference between top-tier and average.

The Refined Wolfskin Leggings had quite good attributes among Purple Equipment, while the Tough Leather Leggings were just average, resulting in a huge gap between their attributes.

With the Refined Wolfskin Leggings, Chen Mo now had two pieces of Purple defensive gear, a Purple Weapon, and two Purple jewelry pieces. He was still missing three defensive items and one jewelry piece for a full set of Purple Equipment!

This was the result of farming the Mutant Slime King seven times. If his luck wasn’t too bad, farming about ten more times would likely get him a full set of Purple Equipment!

A full set of Purple Equipment—probably no player in the game could be that extravagant! This wasn’t something money could easily buy!

But without a full set of Purple Equipment, how could he fight against NPCs? His goal wasn’t to compete with players but with NPCs. No matter how strong players were, it didn’t concern him! NPCs weren’t like players; the System was their parent. If he didn’t become a bit overpowered, going after them would be suicide!

Getting two pieces of Purple Equipment at once brought him a big step closer to his goal. Chen Mo was extremely pleased. He had picked up all the items, but before leaving, he didn’t forget to use the Gathering Skill on the Mutant Slime King’s corpse.

System Notification: You obtained the item “《Capture》”!

《Capture》: Hunter profession skill book, learnable at Level 10. After learning, Hunter profession players can capture monsters to fight for them.

Holy crap!

A system notification sounded, and Chen Mo looked over, unable to believe his eyes.

His luck today was just too good!

Not only did he get two pieces of Purple Equipment at once, but he also obtained a skill book, and it was one of his profession’s signature skills!

The Capture Skill book wasn’t extremely rare, but Hunter players had to reach Level 15 and complete quests at the Hunter Profession Guild to obtain it.

Currently, the highest player level in the game was Level 14. No player had reached Level 15 yet, so naturally, no one had learned the Capture Skill. If Chen Mo wanted, he could learn it now and become the first Hunter in the entire game to learn the Capture Skill.

But he couldn’t learn it—it would be a waste. He was about to suicide and continue killing the Mutant Slime King to work towards a full set of Purple Equipment!

However, this didn’t stop Chen Mo from feeling even better.

With the Capture Skill, after leaving the Starter Village, his leveling speed would definitely surpass other players. Then, he could summon a Slime on his left and a powerful monster on his right, plus his full set of Purple Equipment. What monster could stop him then? It would be like whoever came would die; he could just chop down anyone he didn’t like!

But… what a pity. He was here to find game loopholes and disrupt the game, so he probably wouldn’t have many chances to chop people down.

Stopping his daydreaming, Chen Mo settled his mood, happily committed suicide to respawn, and continued leveling up from Level 1.

Speaking of leveling from Level 1 to Level 10, he had repeated this seven or eight times. While many unlucky players were still figuring out how to leave Goblin Valley, he could almost walk out of Goblin Valley with his eyes closed.

Inside Goblin Valley, Chen Mo was too lazy to spawn the Mutated Black Goblin anymore.

After killing that guy six or seven times, the Mutated Black Goblin seemed to refuse dropping anything, as if saying, “I won’t give you drops even if you kill me.” Last time, it only dropped a pile that looked like a lot but was actually just over thirty copper coins. It didn’t even drop the low-level Mutant Potion for Chen Mo anymore, so he simply didn’t want to waste more time on it.

Although his storage was full of equipment, all of it was Level 10 and not in his backpack. Trying to kill the Mutated Black Goblin wouldn’t be fast.

After leaving Goblin Valley, Chen Mo, as usual, logged off before dawn to sleep and rest.

After waking up, Chen Mo continued to Wild Wolf Valley to kill monsters and level up.

The Flame Three-Headed Wolf was still undefeated. Apart from a small number of players, no one wanted to target it at this stage. That guy was too overpowered; targeting it was a waste of time. Using that time to level up properly was the right way.

So Wild Wolf Valley was still rarely entered by others. While others were fiercely competing for monsters outside, Chen Mo happily killed wolves leisurely inside to level up and also gathered wolf meat.

Chen Mo gathered more and more wolf meat. His storage had over a thousand pieces of wolf meat, plus several extra bottles of Slime Venom, enough for him to complete quests for a long time.

In the blink of an eye, it got dark. Chen Mo dug a pit and continued killing the Mutant Slime King. With Chen Mo’s current attributes, once the pit was dug, the Mutant Slime King was easy to kill.

As a mutant BOSS, even though Chen Mo had killed it eight times, the Mutant Slime King still dropped a spectacular amount of loot upon death.

“A Skill Mutation Scroll… Sure enough, after the luck explosion, the drops become disappointing.”

Chen Mo discontentedly threw the Skill Mutation Scroll into his backpack. Today’s Mutant Slime King was really stingy—it didn’t even drop a single Green Equipment, just a Skill Mutation Scroll.

Little did he know, at the Canglan Technology monitoring center, a group of young people couldn’t help but sigh; this guy’s luck was just too strong.

Whether it was the three-piece Slime King jewelry set or the Skill Mutation Scroll, the drop rates for these items were definitely not high!
