Chapter 33: Mage Equipment

"Ding! You have been killed by the player 'Dust Sealed', level -1. As you initiated the attack, you randomly dropped two or more pieces of equipment."

"Dust Sealed?" Standing at the respawn point in the newbie village, Haoge's mouth twitched. He never imagined that the person he randomly picked would turn out to be Dust Sealed. He was regretting it now.

Immediately, Haoge turned around and slapped the first young man who caused trouble with Dust Sealed, saying, "Damn it! You got me killed!"

At this moment, the young man didn't dare to speak. He realized that he shouldn't have provoked Dust Sealed, the gaming god.

After venting his frustration, Haoge opened the chat log and sent a message to one of the people, saying, "Boss, I encountered Dust Sealed."

After killing several people, Wu Shaochen casually arrived at the Flame Lizard like nothing happened. He needed to verify if his talent would continue to increase after reaching the Bronze rank.

Once again, Wu Shaochen's strength had significantly increased. He approached the Flame Lizard and attacked it with two swift strikes, then changed targets and repeated the same pattern. With his current poison damage of 260 per second, two strikes were enough to take down one lizard.

Soon, the lizards fell one by one, and the system notifications kept ringing. Hearing the system prompts, Wu Shaochen smiled. Just as he thought, advancing to a higher rank increased the poison damage ceiling.

"Let's continue and see how much we can improve," Wu Shaochen thought to himself, then continued killing the lizards. Just at that moment...

"Ding! Your item listed in the auction house has been sold for 50,000 yuan. After deducting a fee of 7,500 yuan, the remaining 42,500 yuan has been transferred to your linked bank account."

"Ding..."

"Ding..."

"Ding..."

Four consecutive notification sounds rang out, and Wu Shaochen instantly looked excitedly at the transaction records. It felt like it had been a while since he received money.

[Wolf King Leggings]sold for 50,000 yuan, [Wolf Fang Club]sold for 70,000 yuan, [Bear King Necklace]sold for 80,000 yuan, and most importantly, [Black Bear King Armor]reached a whopping 180,000 yuan.

Wu Shaochen narrowed his eyes. The total transaction amount for the four items reached 380,000 yuan, after deducting a fee of 57,000 yuan, he had 320,300 yuan in his account.

This is so satisfying! It seems that even though everyone has changed classes, most of them still have basic equipment. Very few have black iron equipment, let alone bronze. The population in the main city is much larger than in the newbie village, so it seems that there are more wealthy players.

"Haha, one step closer to my in-game warehouse. Let's go!" Wu Shaochen suddenly felt motivated and charged towards the lizard in front of him.

Jinling City, Aoshijie learned the details of the incident from Haoge and glanced at Aoshijie Jueqing beside him, asking, "What do you think of this Dust Sealed's strength?"

"According to Zihao's description, the opponent has extremely high defense, fast speed, average damage, but the poison is quite nasty. I don't know if the poison is from equipment or a talent. It deals 260 points of damage per second and cannot be healed. The key is, they don't know how long the poison can last," analyzed Aoshijie Jueqing.

"Under normal circumstances, poison damage lasts at least 10 seconds. If it's 10 seconds, I can barely withstand it with the Black Bear King Armor. But if it lasts longer, at this stage, no one can endure it," said Aoshijie Gufeng, the first shield bearer.

"Yeah, early game equipment doesn't come with skills, so this is likely to be a talent. If it is a talent, it's reasonable for him to have such a big advantage in the early game. This poison is definitely a bug-like existence in the early game, but only in the early game. Once we level up and obtain better equipment, killing him will be like slaughtering a dog," proudly stated Aoshijie Tianxia. Perhaps no one could have imagined that such a disgusting talent would actually be a growth type.

Meanwhile, Wu Shaochen was stealthily sitting under a tree, browsing the forums. A large group of Flame Lizards were running around aimlessly in front of him, their health bars dropping rapidly with each hit, and his experience points were continuously increasing. It seemed that no one in the game was having a more comfortable leveling experience than him.

At that moment, a private message came through...

Xueer: "Thank you for the scroll. I have successfully completed the challenge."

"With a tough and meaty Wild Boar King leading the way, even a pig could succeed," Wu Shaochen casually replied.

The other person instantly stopped responding.

It's time to harvest. Wu Shaochen looked at the fallen lizards in front of him and stood up to see if there were any good equipment drops.

Three pieces of equipment were lying on the ground, and surprisingly, one of them was a black iron equipment among the two white ones. The quality of the equipment was evident from its luster.

He quickly ran over and picked it up. This was money.

[Flame Ring]: Magic Attack +60, Fire skill damage increased by 5%, Additional attribute: Intelligence +16. Requirement: Mage.

"Hmm, mage equipment. It's the first time I've seen it, and the attributes are not bad," Wu Shaochen murmured to himself, then opened the chat window and sent a screenshot of the equipment's attributes to Su Muxue. Soon, the other person replied...

Xueer: "How much? I want it!"

Dust Sealed: "I'll show it to you. I'm planning to put it up for auction."

Xueer: "Dust Sealed...!"

"Haha, I'm just kidding. Take it for 60,000," Wu Shaochen laughed. Sometimes teasing this aloof girl was quite fun.

Wu Shaochen initiated a remote trade and saw the other person put 80,000 in it, along with a message.

"This equipment is worth at least 80,000. I don't want to take advantage of you."

Wu Shaochen shrugged, confirmed the trade, and since the girl insisted on giving him an extra 20,000, he saw no reason not to accept it. After all, she was a wealthy woman.

After the trade was concluded, another private message popped up.

Xueer: "Did you also get this by killing bosses?"

Dust Sealed: "No, I got it from regular monsters."

Xueer: "Regular monsters drop black iron equipment too?"

Dust Sealed: "Yes, higher-level monsters do drop them, but the drop rate is very low." He had killed hundreds of monsters and only obtained two.

Xueer: "Can you tell me which monster dropped this? It's so hard to get mage equipment."

Wu Shaochen used Insight on a Flame Lizard and shared the information with her.

On the other side, Su Muxue, who was currently fighting level 12 foxes in the forest, had an expression of disbelief when she saw the monster information shared by Wu Shaochen. She finally understood why this guy had always been ahead of everyone else. While everyone else was fighting level 11 or 12 monsters, he was fighting level 18 monsters, which was quite outrageous.

After seeing the monster attributes, Su Muxue completely gave up on the idea of going to that area for mage equipment. She could only vent her frustration on the foxes.

Liu Shu, who was by her side, saw Su Muxue's troubled expression and realized that his young miss had changed. She used to face everything with indifference, but recently he often saw her gritting her teeth and getting angry. He didn't know if it was a good thing or a bad thing.

After killing another ten or so Flame Lizards, a golden light flashed, and Wu Shaochen leveled up!

He looked at his talent, Poison Damage, which had reached 337, meaning he had killed 77 Flame Lizards and hadn't reached the limit yet.

His maximum life increase from Immortal Body was 395 points, close to four hundred, which was equivalent to adding 40 points to his constitution. It felt great.

After leveling up, his health reached 2826, and he kept 10 attribute points for now, deciding to allocate them when he saw what he needed. Experience Level 14: 38/60000.

It was time to go and check out the Blackwind Stronghold.
