Even though the Unspecialized Class did not have any equipment or skill restrictions, their attributes were not outstanding and were very mediocre.
This flaw also caused Lin Xiu's mana limit to be low, and his spell damage could not increase much.
Similarly, the mana consumption problem was also the reason why Lin Xiu could not use his skills frequently.
It was because of this that Lin Xiu chose Mana Siphon as his learning target among the dozen or so level 4 skills.
Although the cooldown of 120 points was quite long, it still greatly alleviated Lin Xiu's need for mana.
The subsequent battles would also be easier.
"I'll add the attribute points this time to my spiritual power."
Looking at his attribute panel, Lin Xiu considered for a few seconds and finally chose to increase his spiritual power.
Spiritual power was directly linked to magic attacks.
Increasing his spiritual power was the best choice.
In addition, most of the monsters in the Frost Cave in the early stages of the Catacombs had high physical defense. Therefore, increasing the damage of the Fireball Spell in the early stages also indirectly increased the efficiency of farming monsters.
After doing all this, Lin Xiu immediately began to appraise the items that he had just picked up that belonged to the Sludge Monster Boss.
[Hand of Furious Scales]
[Quality: Bronze]
[Prerequisite: Level 2 and above, user's Strength is greater than 6]
[Basic Attributes: Constitution +3, HP +50]
[Additional Attribute: Furious Scales (5% chance of repelling an enemy's normal attack with less than 30 points of damage)]
...
[Corrosive Slime]
[Type: Forging material]
[Usage: Soak equipment in it to obtain additional poison or anti-poison effects.]
...
[Furious Eyes]
[Type: Forging material]
[Usage: Embed it into equipment to increase attack power or physical resistance]
...
[Bronze Cone Stone]
[Type: Strengthening Gem]
[Usage: Increases the success rate of strengthening equipment of Bronze or below]
Looking at the attributes of the Bronze equipment and the use of the other three materials, Lin Xiu was quite surprised.
The Hand of Furious Scale was a Bronze grade equipment. It could increase the user's HP by 80 points and related endurance. It could be said to be quite good.
As for the additional effects, although the 5 percent chance was better than nothing, it was still considered pretty good as a bonus to increase the price.
If it was sold on the market at 1200R, there would be many Warriors or Knights fighting for it.
The last two forging materials could also provide additional attributes to equipment, and each of them was worth at least 500R.
As for the last Bronze Cone Stone, due to its limited use, the market price should not be higher than 300R.
After all, not many people would choose to strengthen Bronze equipment. The benefits of strengthening equipment that could be eliminated at any time were too low.
After counting all the loot, Lin Xiu realized that just one Boss had given him a level of experience and dropped more than 2,000R worth of materials.
It could be said that he was extremely conscientious.
Counting all the goods he received today, not only did Lin Xiu complete the recoup of his capital, but he even achieved a profit of 300 percent.
Putting on the Hand of Furious Scales, Lin Xiu happily returned to the two people's side.
"Boss Wan, according to our previous agreement, not only did I save Ding Shiyu, but I also took care of the Boss. Shouldn't we settle the remaining payment?"
Looking at the equipment on Wan Zhuoyun's body, Lin Xiu said with a smile.
Although the durability of the equipment on Wan Zhuoyun's body had decreased by quite a bit, as long as he took it home to repair it, it would not be a problem for him to sell it for 10,000R.
Facing Lin Xiu's inexplicable gaze, Wan Zhuoyun subconsciously shifted his gaze away and stammered, "Lin Xiu, I don't think you understand what I'm saying. What I mean is, I can only fulfill my promise after the two of us are out of danger."
Clearing his throat, Wan Zhuoyun continued, "The environment here is gloomy. There might be other dangers. If you agree to disband the party now, I'll immediately give you the equipment as promised."
Looking at Wan Zhuoyun's earnest expression, Lin Xiu almost laughed out loud.
Ding Shiyu's eyes were also gloomy. She did not want to see Lin Xiu benefit from them.
After all, Wan Zhuoyun's set of equipment was not cheap, and it was customized according to his Class. If it was taken away by Lin Xiu just like that, how would they have the face to tell their families when they returned?
"Oh? So you mean you intend to break the contract?"
Clenching his fists, Lin Xiu's tone was filled with threat.
He had long known that Wan Zhuoyun would not keep his promise and strip off all his equipment. Therefore, before he dealt with the Sludge Monster Boss, he had already found a solution.
Originally, Lin Xiu had planned to dissuade them. After all, the two of them were in a very bad state. If they experienced another dangerous situation, they might really die here.
Hhowever, he did not expect that even at this stage, Wan Zhuoyun was still so cunning. This truly refreshed Lin Xiu's worldview.
"You've misunderstood. I've always said that I'll give it to you after we get out. Don't talk nonsense!"
Wan Zhuoyun's eyes swept around, and after realizing that there was not a single monster around, his tone immediately became firm.
Anyway, he was already in a very bad state. It was very likely that he would not be able to withstand a single Fireball Spell from Lin Xiu.
Therefore, it was already impossible for Lin Xiu to use his previous moves to threaten him.
Feeling that he had already taken down the other party, Wan Zhuoyun could not help but reveal a smug smile.
Using only an 800R Mana Recovery Potion to save Ding Shiyu from difficulty, this kind of business was simply profitable.
Ding Shiyu also understood the current situation, and the nervousness on her face disappeared.
"Lin Xiu, don't hurt everyone's harmony because of this matter. You're not in a hurry now. It's not too late to fulfill our agreement after we get out!"
Looking at the two people, one playing the bad guy and the other playing the good guy, Lin Xiu was almost amused.
"Are you treating me like a silly boy? If you don't take off your equipment and hand them over, the two of you will sleep here forever."
After saying that, Lin Xiu immediately turned around and walked towards the underground riverbank.
Looking at the other party's departing back and those brainless words, the two of them were a little stunned.
A few dozen meters away, Lin Xiu quickly walked to the riverbank.
He picked up an oval-shaped pebble from the surroundings and threw it at the opposite bank without any explanation!
"F*ck! This bastard is trying to lure the Jade Guardians out!"
Seeing Lin Xiu's actions, Wan Zhuoyun only felt a chill run from the soles of his feet to the top of his head, and could not help but howl.
The smug smile on Ding Shiyu's face froze on the spot, and all the hair on her body stood on end!
In the quiet cave, the pebbles flew over the ten-meter-wide underground river and smashed into the opposite wall, making an ear-piercing 'Dong dong!' sound.
The pebbles rolled down, and the entire cave became extremely quiet.
The expressions of the two people at the entrance were ugly, but they also stared at the opposite river bank without blinking. They only hoped that Lin Xiu's suicidal behavior did not attract the attention of those Jade Guardians.
Unfortunately, their wish did not come true.
