Chapter 33: Obtaining Top-tier Equipment!
Chapter 33: Obtaining Top-tier Equipment!
“This guy, I think he really wants to kill all the Starter Village bosses before he stops.”
At the Canglan Technology monitoring center, a group of young people looked at the screen, watching the Hunter player kill the Mutant Slime King again.
“And he actually thought of this method.”
Just the day before yesterday, the group suddenly noticed that the Mutant Slime King was killed. Curious, they followed the player and were instantly shocked.
The Starter Village boss, which countless game guilds and groups couldn’t defeat, was actually taken down solo by one player!
When they saw how the player killed the Mutant Slime King, they couldn’t help but feel embarrassed.
The method was very clever. They didn’t consider it a bug, as the Mutant Slime King wasn’t something you could kill just by digging a hole. Still, they reported the situation as usual. The AI system “Glimmer” ran a self-check on the killing process and approved this method of defeating the boss.
The young people naturally had no objections. Who killed the boss didn’t matter; it was good that someone in the Huaxia Region could kill the Mutant Slime King so early. After all, in other countries’ servers, even the Slime King was hard to kill, let alone the Mutant Slime King.
“Holy cow! Another Skill Mutation Scroll! This guy is going to be rich!”
The Mutant Slime King dropped loot spectacularly again. The group had an agreement; they could only watch, not play. Seeing someone fight the boss made them itch to join. They watched eagerly as the Hunter player killed the boss, feeling very tense. When they saw what the Mutant Slime King dropped, one of them couldn’t help but shout.
“Skill Mutation Scrolls can only drop from mutant bosses, right? And the Mutant Slime King is probably the easiest mutant boss to kill in the whole game.”
“Absolutely! From what I know, it’s not easy to make other bosses mutate, and after mutation, their power increases crazily. Killing them is extremely difficult!”
“But I remember each mutant boss only drops a limited number of Skill Mutation Scrolls within a certain time, right?”
“Each mutant boss drops a few scrolls. After they’re gone, it takes a long time for them to reset.”
“So, if he keeps killing it, he might get all the Skill Mutation Scrolls that the Mutant Slime King can drop!”
In the game, having one mutated skill was already impressive. Having several mutated skills would be overpowered!
“Skill Mutation Scrolls aren’t necessarily only obtained by killing mutant bosses, right? You all forgot, someone got two Skill Mutation Scrolls at once yesterday, plus a bunch of other good stuff.”
But then, someone reminded them.
Hearing this, the group immediately realized.
In this groundbreaking game, even in the Starter Village, they didn’t know everything.
In the game, Chen Mo killed the Mutant Slime King and picked up the dropped items, but he didn’t appreciate his good fortune and looked unhappy.
Why? This was only his third time killing the Mutant Slime King, and so far, it had only dropped one Skill Mutation Scroll. Besides that, there was no Slime King accessory set, not even Purple Equipment—just two pieces of Green Equipment and nine pieces of Blue Equipment. Using his Gathering Skill on the Mutant Slime King’s corpse also yielded nothing.
“Continue. I refuse to believe I can’t collect a full set of Purple Equipment. Just wait and see, Enoch!”
Chen Mo had great patience. After returning to the Starter Village and storing his items, he immediately killed himself to respawn again.
…
“Finally! It dropped a piece of Purple Equipment for me!”
Two days passed in a flash. Chen Mo killed the Mutant Slime King for the fifth time.
Yesterday’s Mutant Slime King drop was the worst, only one piece of Green Equipment. But today, the Mutant Slime King finally had a good drop, giving one piece of Purple Equipment—a hand crossbow!
Toxic Hand Crossbow
Description: A hand crossbow soaked in poison; the bolts it fires can cause toxic damage.
Equipment Quality: Purple
Restrictions: Hunter and Assassin classes, Level 10 or above to equip.
Attributes:
Base Physical Attack Power 68—82
Base Magic Attack Power 59—77
Strength +25
Agility +20
Slight Poison Crossbow skill level +1
Poisoning skill level +1
Additional Attribute: Slight Poison
Slight Poison: When successfully attacking a target, there is a 10% chance to deal 200 points of Toxin Damage to the target. This toxin damage does not stack with other toxin damages.
As soon as Chen Mo saw the Toxic Hand Crossbow’s stats, he couldn’t help but feel overjoyed.
It was totally worth it!
This Purple hand crossbow was so strong, much stronger than any other weapons he had seen on the Forum!
The attack power of hand crossbows was average or even low among various weapons, but this Level 10 hand crossbow had higher base attack than most weapons in the game. The added Strength attribute was also decent. It came with one level of the Hunter’s Slight Poison Crossbow skill and one level of the Assassin’s Poisoning skill, plus an additional attribute. If he sold it, Chen Mo estimated it could fetch at least fifty thousand!
Chen Mo definitely wouldn’t sell it, and if he did, it wouldn’t be now!
The Toxic Hand Crossbow was his biggest asset to defeat Enoch. With this weapon, his speed in killing the Mutant Slime King would at least double.
Right now, it took him almost twenty minutes to kill the Mutant Slime King. With the Toxic Hand Crossbow, it would take just over ten minutes for the Mutant Slime King to die by his hand!
He had obtained the weapon; now, he needed four more pieces of armor and the remaining two set accessories. Then he could have a final battle with Enoch!
With the weapon, Chen Mo felt much more motivated. After returning to Earl Town, he couldn’t wait to kill himself and respawn again.
When it was almost dawn, Chen Mo logged off to rest.
But before resting, he checked the latest game developments on the Forum.
Although he was focused on fighting the Mutant Slime King, he didn’t ignore what was happening outside.
He wasn’t the only one who accepted the commission; it was necessary to keep up with the game’s latest situation.
These past few days, nothing major happened in the game. Players were talking about two main things.
One was the Talent Trial when leaving the Starter Village. It turned out that if you achieved outstanding results in the Talent Trial, you could get a better talent.
Talent skills weren’t unique; other players could also get them as their Level increased in the game. But getting them early naturally brought more benefits.
The second topic was the game’s day and night cycle.
According to players who had reached the Three Major Cities, it was best not to go out at night. At night, the field vision was narrow, and monster attributes increased a lot. Players with bad equipment could easily get killed by monsters if they went out at night.
But some people had different opinions.
Monsters at night were stronger, but they also gave players more Experience. Some monsters and NPCs that didn’t appear during the day would show up at night. Players could receive rare Quests from these NPCs and get rich rewards after completing them.
Whether you could safely kill monsters in the field at night depended on your equipment. Leveling up after Level 10 was very hard, so equipment was especially important. Blue Equipment above Level 10 was in high demand in the Three Major Cities, not to mention higher quality equipment.
…
Two more days passed in a blink.
With the Toxic Hand Crossbow, Chen Mo’s combat power was very strong. The Mutant Slime King was no match for him at all.
After a familiar roar, a large area lit up with sparkling light. Chen Mo’s eyes suddenly brightened; he saw a piece of equipment with a somewhat familiar style!
