Chapter 33: Mage Equipment

Ding, you have been killed by the player “Dust Sealed,” level -1. Since you were the aggressor, you will randomly drop two or more pieces of equipment.

“Dust… Dust Sealed?” Hao Ge stood at the revival point of the new player village, his mouth twitching. He never imagined that the random player he picked would turn out to be Dust Sealed. At this moment, his stomach was in knots from regret.

He immediately turned around and slapped the first young man who had caused trouble for Dust Sealed, yelling, “Damn it, you got me killed!”

The young man didn’t dare to speak at all. When he thought about how he had dared to speak to the great Dust Sealed like that, his legs became weak.

Hao Ge, after venting, opened the chat log and sent a message to one of the players: “Boss, I ran into Dust Sealed.”

After killing a few players, Wu Shaochen came to the Fire Lizard’s location, needing to test whether his talent would continue to improve after reaching the Bronze rank.

This time, Wu Shaochen’s power had increased dramatically once again. Looking at the Fire Lizard in front of him, he immediately attacked with two swords. Then he switched to another and dealt two more sword strikes. With his current toxic damage of 260 per second, two strikes per lizard was enough.

The lizards quickly fell one after another, and system prompts continued to sound. Hearing the prompts, Wu Shaochen smiled. Just as he had expected, leveling up increased his toxin damage cap.

“Let’s continue and see how much it can increase,” Wu Shaochen thought to himself, then continued killing the lizards.

At this moment…

Ding, your auction items have been sold for a total of 50,000 yuan. After deducting the service fee of 7,500 yuan, the remaining 42,500 yuan has been transferred to your linked bank account.

Ding…
Ding…
Ding…

Four consecutive system prompt sounds rang out. Wu Shaochen was instantly excited and looked at the transaction records, feeling like it had been a long time since he had earned any money.

[Wolf King Leggings] sold for 50,000 yuan, [Wolf Fang Mace] for 70,000 yuan, [Bear King Necklace] for 80,000 yuan, and the most significant was the [Black Bear King Armor], which sold for 180,000 yuan.

Wu Shaochen’s eyes squinted. The total transaction amount for the four pieces of equipment was 380,000 yuan. After deducting a service fee of 57,000 yuan, 323,000 yuan had been transferred to his account.

“Feels great. Even though everyone has changed classes, most of them still have basic gear, and very few have Black Iron equipment, not to mention Bronze. The population in the main city is much larger than in the new player village, so there are definitely more rich players here,” Wu Shaochen thought to himself.

“Haha, I’m one step closer to getting the game pod! Let’s go!” Wu Shaochen was instantly full of motivation and charged at the Fire Lizard again.

In Jinling City, Ao Shi Tianxia had learned about the situation from Hao Ge and looked at Ao Shi Jueqing beside him: “What do you think about Dust Sealed’s abilities?”

“According to Hao Ge, the other side has extremely high defense, fast speed, and average damage. But the poison is disgusting, and this poison is either from the equipment or a talent. It’s 260 damage per second, and it cannot be healed. The key is that they still don’t know how long the poison lasts,” Ao Shi Jueqing analyzed.

“Normally, toxin damage lasts at least 10 seconds. If it’s 10 seconds, I can barely survive with the [Black Bear King Armor], but if it lasts longer, no one can survive it at this stage,” Ao Shi Gufeng, the first tank, said.

“Well, early-stage equipment doesn’t have skills. This poison is likely a talent. If it is a talent, then it makes sense that he gained such an advantage early on. This poison is definitely a bug-like existence in the early game, but once our level and equipment are up, we’ll be able to kill him like slaughtering a dog,” Ao Shi Tianxia said proudly. Perhaps no one expected this disgusting talent to actually be a long-lasting one.

Meanwhile, Wu Shaochen was sitting under a tree in stealth mode, browsing the forum. In front of him, a bunch of Fire Lizards were moving around like headless flies. The white damage numbers -574 were constantly appearing above their heads, and their health bars dropped rapidly. It seemed like no one in the entire Divine Command game was leveling up more comfortably than he was.

At this moment, a private message came…

Xue’er: “Thank you for the scroll, I’ve completed the challenge!”

“With a tough, thick-skinned wild boar king at the front, even a pig could clear the challenge,” Wu Shaochen replied casually.

The other side immediately stopped replying.

After collecting the loot, Wu Shaochen looked at the fallen lizards. Three pieces of equipment were lying on the ground. Aside from two white items, there was actually a Black Iron equipment lying there. The equipment gleamed with a distinct luster, making its quality immediately recognizable.

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

[Flame Ring]: Magic attack +60, fire skill damage increased by 5%, additional attributes: Intelligence +16.
Wear requirement: Mage.

“Huh, Mage equipment, this is the first time I’ve seen it. The stats aren’t bad,” Wu Shaochen muttered. He then opened the chat window and sent a screenshot of the equipment’s stats to Su Muxue. Soon, the reply came…

Xue’er: “How much is it? I want it!”

Wu Shaochen thought for a moment and said, “80,000.”

Since the [Bear King Necklace] was also auctioned at 80,000, this seemed like a reasonable price.

Xue’er: “Okay!”

After the trade, another private message popped up.

Xue’er: “Did you get this from a boss?”

Dust Sealed: “No, from regular monsters.”

Xue’er: “Regular monsters can drop Black Iron equipment?”

Dust Sealed: “Yeah, if they’re higher level. It’s just that the drop rate is too low.” He had killed several hundred monsters and only had two drops.

Xue’er: “Can you tell me which monster dropped this? Mage equipment is so hard to find.”

Wu Shaochen shared the monster info for the Fire Lizard with her.

Meanwhile, Su Muxue, who was fighting 12-level foxes in the forest, was speechless when she saw the shared monster information. She finally understood why this guy was always ahead of everyone. While everyone else was hunting 11-12 level monsters, this guy was hunting 18-level monsters. It was just too absurd.

After seeing the monster stats, Su Muxue completely gave up on trying to farm mage equipment there. She could only vent her frustration on the foxes.

On the side, Liu Shu noticed Su Muxue’s displeasure and realized his young miss had changed. She used to face every situation calmly, but lately, she had been frequently gnashing her teeth and feeling upset. He couldn’t tell if it was a good change or a bad one.

Wu Shaochen, after killing more than ten Fire Lizards, saw a flash of golden light. He leveled up!

Looking at the talent, his toxin damage had reached 337. He had killed 77 Fire Lizards so far, and the cap hadn’t been reached yet.

His Immortal Body talent increased his maximum health by 395 points, which was roughly equivalent to 40 points of constitution. That was quite comfortable.

After leveling up, his health reached 2826, and he saved his 10 attribute points for later use when needed. His experience was now LV14:38/60000.

It was time to check out the Blackwind Stronghold.
