Virtual World: Conquering the World

Chapter 122: Profound Ice Sword Energy

It was actually a ring that increased attack speed!

This equipment was quite rare.  No matter which Job it was, an increase in attack speed meant an increase in damage.  This Gust Ring had a 2% increase in attack speed before it was appraised, so if it was appraised, the attack speed might increase again!

Ling Xue hesitated a bit, "Un, isn't this ring for warriors?"

Ling Yue said, "It increases strength by 17 before it is appraised, or course strength is for warriors.  Do you even need to still ask?"

So Ling Xue tossed the ring to me, "We already said it, this ring will be considered compensation!"

Bing Cha didn't have any objections, she just asked, "Ling Xue, you're a swordsman, do you not want this ring?"

There was a dazzling smile that appeared on Ling Xue's lips as she looked at me and said, "I don't want it because I have something better!"

There was a purple gold ring that was glowing on Ling Xue's finger, it was clear that Ling Xue had just equipped the Dark Gold Purple Wind Ring that I gave me!

Bing Cha was a bit confused and Ling Yue who knew only smiled, not revealing this.

I quickly put the ring in my inventory.  It was a good thing, I had to put it away first!

Like this, the three pieces of equipment were sorted out and now there was only that blue skill book.

[Thousand Mile Ice Seal]: With powerful magical ice, deal large damage to targets in a set range, which will also decrease their attack speed and their move speed.

Required: Level 50 Magician.

...

It was actually a book for a magician!

There was no doubt that Ling Yue had become the biggest winner.  She had suddenly changed from a fire mage to an ice mage.  With this Thousand Mile Ice Seal and the 20% increase to Ice Spells from the Ice Goddess Staff, Ling Yue's magic attack was terrifying!

Ling Xue gave the skill book to Ling Yue without another word and spread her hands, "We've divided the look, let's turn in the mission?"

The girls nodded.  When I wanted to leave, Ling Xue pulled me aside and secretly gave me two flame red gems, saying in a low voice, "Little fool, these are for you.  The others can't use them.."

I was a bit surprised as I looked at the two gems.

[Roaring Flame Gem]

Grade: 1

Effect: Increase weapon attack by 20. Takes one slot.

[Roaring Flame Gem]

Grade: 2

Effect: Increase weapon attack by 20. Takes one slot.

...

It was a grade 1 gem and a grade two gem, moreover, they were weapon attack increase gems!

I was instantly stunned, "Damn!  Aren't these the gems that have been uploaded to the forums?  I heard that a single grade 1 gem could be auctioned for five thousand gold coins!"

Ling Xue said with a smile, "In my eyes, they are just two good looking stones.  Only you and big sister have Dark Gold Weapons with slots, so we can only give them to you.  That..I'm afraid that their minds aren't as calm, so I didn't announce it."

I was a bit worried, "This isn't right.  It's like we're doing this secretly.  How about..we tell everyone?"

Ling Xue looked at me in surprise and said, "It really isn't wrong to call you little fool.."

After saying this, Ling Xue revealed a smile, "Forget it, since you are feeling restless, you can tell big sister, but she is the only one you can tell!"

"Oh, got it!"

So I told Ling Yue about the gem.  Ling Yue didn't have any objections and said with a smile, "Bing Cha is also a warrior and has the right to know, I'll help you tell her."

Then after Bing Cha learned about this, she felt that Purple Rhyme wasn't part of the studio and had a right to know, so she told Purple Rhyme.  Purple Rhyme told Quiet Rain Fall, Quiet Rain Fall told Zi Yue and Zi Yue directly talked about it in the team chat.

In just a few minutes, this secret that couldn't be said was revealed.

With the Gust Ring and the two Roaring Flame Gems in hand, I happily went with everyone to report in on the quest.  The girls handed in the quest and when I handed in the quest, there was a notification that rang in my ear.

"Ding~!"

System notification: Congratulations, your team has completed the quest  [Kill Captain Hawk].  You have received 550000 experience, 500 gold coins, 1200 prestige, and the reward [Profound Ice Sword Energy]!

...

Yi?  Profound Ice Sword Energy?

I was surprised as I quickly opened my inventory and I found that there was a skill book inside.

[Profound Ice Sword Energy]: Release sword energy to deal a fatal blow to enemies in a certain range.  There is a large chance to inflict the enemy with a frozen status.

Required: Level 45 Swordsman.

...

I directly chose to learn it and I received the notification: Your Job can't learn this skill!

There was no other way, I looked over at Ling Xue who was looking at me with a smile.

Just now, whether it was the Glory Boots, the Gust Ring, or the Roaring Flame Gems, Ling Xue kept favouring me.  I should give her something since winning together was the right way!

So I said to Ling Xue, "Did you get some equipment from the quest?"

Ling Xue shook her head, "Only some experience and gold, there was nothing else.."

I directly traded the Profound Ice Sword Energy to her with a smile, "Here, this is for you."

Ling Xue was stunned as she muttered, "Such a powerful skill"

After saying this, Ling Xue declined the trade, "I can't take it.  This skill book is just too strong, you can sell it for quite a bit of money.."

I said, "This is a swordsman group attack skill and it has a stunning effect, of course it's very strong, so you need it very much."

"But"  Ling Xue hesitated a bit, unable to make up her mind.

I saw the little beauty acting cute, so I said with a smile, "It seems like you still haven't treated me as one of your own"

Hearing this, Ling Xue immediately pouted her lips and quickly grabbed the Profound Ice Sword Energy skill, "Who says that, I want it!  Why wouldn't I want it"

I said with a smile, "Don't forget, if you get any close combat skill books, don't be in a rush to sell them.  Let me see if I can learn them first."

"Un."  Ling Xue nodded with a smile.

All the girls had turned in the quest, but I was the only one who received the skill book as a reward.

Ling Yue said, "Alright, our leveling will stop here today, everyone prepare to log off and eat!  Let's first head back to the city and appraise our items!"

So in just a few seconds, everyone returned to the city and gathered at the appraisers.

Ling Yue put the Ice Goddess Staff on the table and the appraiser was surprised before saying, "Truly a good treasure!  One thousand gold coins!"

Ling Yue was frozen on the spot.

I said, "The higher the appraisal fee, the better the item.  It's a good thing!"

Ling Yue helplessly said, "But I only have 700 gold coins, that is including the 500 from the quest just now.."

So I quickly handed over 300 gold coins and said, "Come, I'll support you."

Ling Yue said with a difficult look, "But I still need items for leveling tonight, there are also expenses"

I gave her another 200 gold coins.

Ling Yue revealed a dazzling smile and hesitantly said, "But other than fixing my equipment, what I really worry about is buying potions.."

I was speechless as I gave her another 300 gold coins.  Who told her to be my boss...

Ling Yue laughed and wanted to say something else, but I spread my hands, "I only have 500 gold coins, you wouldn't be cruel enough to let me be poor while leveling.."

Ling Yue still had a conscience and didn't want more.  Purple Rhyme and Bing Cha on the side were already smiling at each other.

With a flash of light, the stats of the Ice Goddess Staff appeared.

[Ice Goddess Staff]  (Dark Gold Equipment)

Magic Attack: 355-485

Intelligence: +32

Vitality: +25

Agility: +18

Additional: Increases damage of Ice Spells by 40%.

Slots: 1

Required level: 48

...

Seeing the powerful stats of this Dark Gold Staff, everyone was stunned.  We never thought that after being appraised, the staff would actually increase the power of Ice Spells by 40%!

Ling Xue and I both cursed at it and Ling Yue happily equipped it, while also learning the Thousand Mile Ice Seal.  She said with a smile, "You should all appraise first, I'll go find some mobs to test out my new skill"

After saying this, Ling Yue happily ran out.

Everyone was speechless, but I looked at Ling Xue with a smile.  It was rare for Ling Yue to happily smile in the gaem, so everyone should feel happy about this.

Bing Cha appraised the Glory Boots, using 200 gold coins.

[Glory Boots]  (Gold Equipment)

Defense: 124

Strength: +25

Vitality: +15

Additional: Increases physical attack damage by 4%.

Required level: 45

...

These stats were considered not bad, they were in the upper ranks of Gold Equipment!

Next was my Gold Gust Ring.

I put the ring on the counter and the appraiser looked at it before saying, "200 gold coins!"

I looked at my inventory and saw the 500 gold coins.  It seemed like I had to find some time to earn some money.

I handed over the 200 gold coins and with a flash of light, the Gust Ring revealed their true appearance.

[Gust Ring]  (Gold Equipment - Ring)

Strength: +27

Vitality: +18

Additional: Increases attack speed by 5%.

Required level: 45

...

I was filled with joy!  It was actually a 5% increase in attack speed, this ring definitely was an item of the highest class!

I put it on now that I was a level 45 expert.  I believed that it wouldn't take long before I reached the level rankings again!  The reason I had this confidence was that because I could equip the Roaring Flame Spear!

The girls all congratulated me and I said with a smile, "Everyone prepare to log off to eat, I'll go to the warehouse first!"

So the girls all logged off.

I went to the warehouse and took out the Fearless Chestplate and the Roaring Flame Spear.  Seeing the flames on the spear, the power seemed to make one's blood boil!

[Roaring Flame Spear] (Dark Gold Equipment)

Attack: 525-650

Strength: +35

Vitality: +25

Agility: +22

Additional: Increases the user's attack by 25%.

Special skill: Increased exp gain.

Slots: 3

Required level: 55

There were two Roaring Flame Gems in my bag that I could use.  I went right to the blacksmith and it cost me 50 gold coins to put each of the gems in.

With two "ding" sounds, the two Roaring Flame Gems were inserted into the Roaring Flame Spear.  According to the rules, the first gem had to be grade 1, the second had to be grade 2, and so on.  This also gave players quite a bit of trouble since it wasn't easy to get gems from grade 1 to grade 10.

However, there were few equipments that could have ten slots, so only a super Divine Grade Equipment would have those slots.

After putting in the two Roaring Flame Gems, the attack power of the Roaring Flame Spear increased by 40 and two slots were used.

[Roaring Flame Spear] (Dark Gold Equipment)

Attack: 565-690

Strength: +35

Vitality: +25

Agility: +22

Additional: Increases the user's attack by 25%.

Special skill: Increased exp gain.

Slots: 3

Required level: 55

...

When I equipped the Roaring Flame Staff, my hand was filled with the burning energy and I was filled with energy.  It was like an endless power had filled my body!

My states had greatly increased because of the Roaring Flame Staff, the Fearless Chestplate, and the Gust Ring.

Easily Angered Bookworm (Dragon Whisperer)

Level: 45

HP: 3590

Attack: 980-1195 (Spear) 780-896 (Bow)

Defense: 695

Magic Defense: 120

Prestige: 17890

Luck: 0

...

Un, with my full set, a Dark Gold Weapon, three pieces of Gold Equipment, two pieces of Silver Equipment, and five pieces of Bronze Equipment, my stats really were something.

Looking at my stats, I only had one word, broken!

My close range attack reached 1195 and my Roaring Flame Spear had an increase of 25% for physical attacks, so it would reach 1434!  What kind of a concept was this?

Un, it wasn't that powerful, this attack was only twice what Ling Xue had...

...

With the Roaring Flame Spear in hand, I was filled with excitement.  I immediately headed out of the city and met a level 40 skeleton, sending out a Shield Break Slash!

"Pacha!"

The skeleton was scattered and the bones fell down, as it was instantly killed!

"7021!"

This super high damage figure shocked me.  Two noobs who were leveling nearby saw this and one said in a shocked voice, "Damn!  Did you see that, that brat just instant killed a level 40 skeleton!"

"Che!  Nonsense, do you think he's a transformer?  It must have been on a sliver of HP!"

"That's right."

I revealed a faint smile.  It seems like my stats were already strong enough, I just needed to solve my level problem.  Un, I'll go kill level 55 skeletons tonight, those skeletons dropped repeating quest items, so I could use them!

Ling Yue sent me a message, "Bookworm, log off!  After eating dinner, come shopping with us!"

I couldn't help revealing a bitter smile.  It seemed like I would be tired tonight.

Thinking about it, since I was a part of the studio, I had to log off, so I did.  I would come back tonight to get experience points!
