Chapter 39: An Unexpected Astonishing Discovery

The moment he switched to barbarian mode, an unprecedented sense of power filled every single cell in Sun Fei’s body from head to toe.

This power gave him a wonderful illusion—as if he could cause the great stone wall under his feet to collapse with just a light stomp.

“When the barbarian character leveled up to 12, its strength really did grow unbelievably…” Sun Fei carefully felt this vast, surging force, like an immense ocean, and was deeply thrilled inside: “Yes, this is the feeling… exactly the same as when I first entered barbarian mode in the World of Diablo.”

Experiencing this long-lost sensation of physical power, Sun Fei felt a bit like the great hero Xiang Yu from his previous life, who was so mighty he could move the sky and ground.

He glanced down almost unconsciously.

That casual look made his expression change strangely. His mouth gaped uncontrollably, nearly reaching his ears, and his eyes widened as if he saw an undead while walking at night.

Because he found something unbelievable—

At some point, the heavy knight armor he wore before entering the Diablo World had disappeared. In its place was a strange-looking green cloth armor. It was like a long robe that securely covered most of his body. It was ornate and oddly shaped, with an ancient, weathered style. The entire armor was made from a mysterious, unknown material, covered in mystical and intricate symbols and patterns. A faint green glow flickered around it, emitting a noticeable wave of magical energy.

Besides the cloth armor, there were also leather boots, a belt, a helmet, gloves…

Sun Fei’s heart suddenly jolted.

“This… this is the barbarian character’s set from the Diablo World… It was actually… actually brought into the real world without me realizing? How is that possible? Oh my god, oh my earth, oh my mom… I clearly remember I never asked that mysterious cold voice to exchange for this equipment.”

This sudden discovery made his heart race uncontrollably.

Why… why did this happen without any warning?

Sun Fei’s mind went completely blank, unable to figure it out.

Because according to what he had learned from his experience in the Diablo World, to get anything there, even a pile of dung, he had to request an exchange from that mysterious cold voice. Not only did it require paying a certain number of gold coins, but there was also a high risk of the exchange failing.

What puzzled Sun Fei was that he would swear on his little buddy—which hadn’t even seen action once—that he had definitely not requested this set of equipment. Yet somehow it had been mysteriously brought into the real world.

What was going on?

“Reminder: When an adventurer character in the Diablo World reaches level 10 or above, the character’s equipment can manifest in the real world outside the Diablo World… Reminder: Manifested equipment can only be used by the player, cannot be traded, cannot be lost, and cannot be repaired outside the Diablo World… Reminder: Durability will naturally decrease over time; weapon maintenance must be performed by a blacksmith within the Diablo World… Reminder… Reminder…”

As if in response, the mysterious cold voice echoed in his mind. One piercing “reminder” after another soon gave the most detailed explanation.

So… it was… actually… exactly this.

Sun Fei slapped his forehead, feeling as if a light had suddenly turned on.

Feeling a bit greedy, he tried asking the mysterious cold voice in his mind: So after leveling past 10, there’s actually such a ‘benefit’… Then if I go past level 20, 30, or even 90, will there be other, even better ‘benefits’?

Unfortunately, this time, the mysterious cold voice did not answer.

“Ugh… Whatever, forget it! So stingy!… Hmm, if equipment can be brought out, then weapons should be able to come out too, right? Why don’t I have that barbarian’s two-handed axe in my hands?”

Sun Fei looked at his empty hands, feeling a bit puzzled.

But as soon as that thought crossed his mind, something even more amazing happened—

In the next second, a faint white light flashed before his eyes, and suddenly his hands felt heavy. The menacing, deadly two-handed axe that ‘Barbarian Sun Fei’ owned in the Diablo World appeared in his hands out of nowhere without any warning.

Sun Fei instinctively swung the axe.

The handle felt cold; the blade gleamed with a chilly light.

A familiar feeling, down to his blood and bones, instantly surged through him. He felt as one with the axe, giving him an invincible sense of “with this axe in hand, I own the world.”

But Sun Fei didn’t get lost in that feeling.

He forced himself to calm down immediately.

Then he began to think about more questions.

“If the main-hand two-handed axe can be brought out of the Diablo World, then the off-hand equipment—Storm Piercer Short Sword and Soul Emblem Small Round Shield—should be able to come out too, right?”

As soon as that thought appeared in Sun Fei’s mind, another faint light flashed before his eyes. The two-handed axe in his hands vanished, replaced by a golden engraved short sword and a semi-transparent small round shield the color of dried blood, covered in sharp spikes.

Wahahahaha… It worked!

Sun Fei soon discovered that switching weapons in the real world was incredibly easy. The method was simple—just by thinking it, he could instantly switch between main-hand and off-hand weapons. There wasn’t even any cool-down time for this switch.

Swish—!

Whoosh—!

As Sun Fei’s thoughts rapidly changed, the two-handed axe and the short sword with shield kept appearing and disappearing in his hands, incredibly nimble. This speed and method of switching weapons was so stealthy it could be considered ghostly. Used well in actual combat, it would definitely be a hidden secret move. Given Sun Fei’s nature, it was perfect for sneak attacks.

After switching weapons for a while, another question popped into his mind.

“Being able to bring magical armor and weapons from the Diablo World into the real world is great, but I can’t keep wearing such flashy gear all the time, right? After all, I’m the king and don’t need to fight every second. In daily life, like attending noble ladies’ banquets, going to the bathroom to pee, or jumping into bed with two beautiful girls for some fun times… If I wore this outfit during those moments, people would probably call me a pervert.”

I wonder if this equipment can be hidden?

Just as Sun Fei thought this, another change occurred—

He was surprised to find that the barbarian set on his body disappeared as he wished. A white knight’s soft leather undershirt appeared on him—the clothes he wore in the real world. Just where his original full-body heavy knight armor went, he had no idea. After looking around, he found it lying in a corner by the wall. He didn’t even know when he had taken it off.

“Wow, is this like mind-reading? Whatever I think happens?”

Sun Fei’s heart leaped with sudden understanding, and he grinned from ear to ear.

It turned out that the barbarian’s armor, like the weapons, could appear or disappear as he wished. It was not only convenient to use but also didn’t affect his actions or daily life in the real world at all. Summon it, and it comes; dismiss it, and it goes. It was as easy as thinking.

This was way too overpowered.

Sun Fei’s heart raced again uncontrollably, adrenaline surged, hormones soared…

Licking his lips, as someone who always sought to maximize benefits, he soon thought of another question—

“If these magical equipment pieces can be brought into the real world, then their attributes and abilities should also be brought out, right?”

The thought made him so excited his little buddy stood up. Sun Fei decided to run a small test.

He would test it using the belt’s storage function.

In the Diablo World, the belt had the ability to provide temporary storage space. You could store various potions inside, which was even more convenient than the 40-slot backpack space the game system gave the character. The higher the belt’s level, the larger its storage space. But the belt that level 12 ‘Barbarian Sun Fei’ had in the Diablo World was just a normal 8-slot belt.

He looked down at the belt around his waist, then at a fist-sized stone on the ground some distance away. Silently, he tried to will it into the belt’s storage space.

Almost the instant Sun Fei had the thought, the stone vanished.

“Wow, it freaking worked again?!”

Watching the stone disappear, Sun Fei’s heart pounded hard. The series of unexpected surprises today made him feel like his heart couldn’t take it anymore.

No doubt, his greedy guess was confirmed.

Indeed, the various additional functions of magical equipment in the Diablo World really were brought into the real world as well.

The next second.

Sun Fei almost instinctively thought again, and before his eyes appeared eight simulated slots resembling the storage spaces from the Diablo World. The vanished stone occupied one of the slots, lying quietly inside. Besides this newly stored stone, the two health potions and one stamina potion he had painstakingly exchanged for with 29,000 gold coins in the Diablo World were also inside the belt space.

Sun Fei quickly pressed his hand over his heart to stop it from pounding so hard, or else it might just give out on him.
