Chapter 12: Can white equipment have such attributes? Who will believe it?!
In Anyang City, at the entrance to the dungeon base, Zhao Xing and Guan Ya disembarked from the express train. Immediately, everyone’s attention was drawn to Guan Ya.
Guan Ya, adorned in the Heavenly Armor suit, was truly conspicuous. She was tall and slender, possessing remarkable beauty, clad in a lavender suit that added a touch of luxury.
Zhao Xing stowed away the Scholar’s Hat and refrained from wearing it. Otherwise, the king-grade equipment might attract even more attention.
“Sister Ya, your ability to turn heads is probably surpassing all limits,” Zhao Xing teased. “Seems like everyone loves to gaze upon beautiful women.”
“Quit kidding, everyone is focused on the equipment, not me,” Guan Ya replied, a bit embarrassed. However, after Zhao Xing’s remark, she instinctively straightened her posture.
“Speaking of which, it’s all because Blue Star’s gamification isn’t thorough enough, and there’s no space backpack or anything like that. It’s all real weight,” Zhao Xing complained.
Otherwise, Guan Ya wouldn’t have to don the equipment in advance.
“Space-related equipment isn’t out of the question,” Guan Ya remarked. “However, space storage-type gear is top-quality and only becomes available at level 60 and above.”
“But what you said about the real weight is accurate. This Heavenly staff is genuinely heavy. A complete set may weigh around 20 kilograms.”
Indeed, although Blue Star had seen the emergence of many professionals, certain aspects hadn’t changed. Not everyone could bring their space backpack, and equipment still carried weight. Without sufficient physical strength, wearing some equipment would result in quick fatigue. It was undeniably realistic.
The two conversed all the way and soon entered the dungeon. As usual, today’s agenda involved slaughtering pigs. In the Armored Porcupine dungeons, they were plentiful and usually found in groups. While the porcupine boasted high physical resistance, its magic resistance was considerably low.
Equipped with the Heavenly Armor set, Guan Ya could easily extract water from the porcupine’s body using a single hydrocoagulation technique.
Zhao Xing, now at level 10, targeted the level 15 Iron Armored Porcupines. Even after factoring in the experience penalty, they still yielded substantial experience points—his preferred choice.
“Hey, did you misplace your equipment?” Zhao Xing observed a porcupine transform into a mummy. As the corpse slowly vanished, a white light appeared, revealing a piece of leather armor on the ground. The leather armor had rough patterns, likely imprinted by the porcupine’s fangs.
[Porcupine Breastplate]. [Level: Level 10]. [Quality: Normal (White)]. [Defense +10].It was a basic white piece of equipment with attributes significantly different from the Scholar’s Hat. The defense attribute didn’t directly appear on the panel but was present in various equipment types. This initially puzzled many, but after exploration, elite players reached a consensus: the defense value lacked measurable significance at lower levels. Equipping full-body armor or specific professions learning energy shield skills were the only scenarios where the defense value appeared on the panel.
Additionally, at the transcendence level (above 60), all professions could manipulate energy for comprehensive body protection. Even without relying on the panel, some professionals possessed high mental strength, accurately calculating dynamic defense values for each body part and using this data in battles. Monsters and professionals had life points that could only be checked when a negative state was triggered or during an attack.
“This white equipment weighs at least 20 kilograms, and it’s worthless.”
“Only decomposers can handle these items, turning waste into something useful, or some martial arts professionals with great strength might pack them using military backpacks.”
Since Zhao Xing’s level had reached 10, meeting the dungeon’s level rule interval, the penalties he incurred were weaker compared to before. On the contrary, the experience value was higher than what was obtained at level 1 and began to drop some white items from time to time. Guan Ya wasn’t interested in picking up these things, and neither was Zhao Xing. However, this didn’t stop him from practicing with these white pieces of equipment. After all, being idle meant wasting time.
[You have enchanted the porcupine breastplate with primary attributes!]. [Affected by the original blessing talent, the success rate of this enchantment is 100%, and there is no additional effect.]. [Affected by the multiplier talent, the effect of this enchantment is increased by 20 times.]. [Defense +200.]. [Your primary attribute enchantment gains 1 point of skill proficiency.].“Very good, it still has a 100% success rate, and there is no decline in talent. I didn’t know that porcupines dropped materials. Otherwise, I would be able to hone my proficiency in the two skills of ‘material fusion’ and material transformation.”
Zhao Xing left the porcupine breastplate aside and followed Guan Ya step by step. It was also good to be able to practice the proficiency of elementary attribute enchanting. With the Hat of the Scholar, he had no fear of consuming mental and physical strength.
Guan Ya slaughtered monsters all the way in front, while Zhao Xing practiced magic all the way behind. Behind him was a collection of enchanted equipment, including the porcupine breastplate, porcupine head and shoulders, porcupine boots, porcupine leather pants, etc. He could put them all together in a set, but, just like the name, it didn’t actually have any set effect.
One morning, Zhao Xing rose to level 12 (11%). Although more experience points were required, the speed was still not slow because, according to the contract, Zhao Xing received all the experience. Guan Ya was purely a thug.
“Zhao Xing, there seem to be fewer porcupines in this area. We’re about to change places. Ahead is the camp of wild wolves. These wild wolves are not slow like porcupines. Follow closely,” Guan Ya reminded.
“Oh, okay. Sister Ya, do you want to take a break?”
“I’ll be able to reach level 13 this afternoon, so don’t be so anxious,” Zhao Xing said
“Well, that’s fine.” Guan Ya was really tired after casting spells for so long, so she took a rest at the edge of the wolf camp. It was a pity that the king-grade equipment was soul-bound, so there was no way for Guan Ya to wear it. Otherwise, she wouldn’t be so tired.
Zhao Xing and Guan Ya left the plane where the armored porcupine was. Two students also happened to pass by this place, but after searching for a long time, there was no trace of the monster. They only saw equipment in one place.
“Huh? Who killed all the pigs here?”
“Do you want to be so violent? Aren’t the monsters in this dungeon refreshed every day? Why aren’t there any at all?”
“Hey, they didn’t even pick up any equipment. What arrogance.”
A junior martial artist was carrying a military backpack and picked up the porcupine shoulder armor under his feet with great interest. But in the next second, his eyes widened, and he exclaimed.
“What the hell is going on? Is this attribute still that of white equipment?”
“What’s wrong?” The archer companion next to him asked suspiciously, “What’s the fuss about a piece of white equipment?”
“You won’t even believe it, but the head and shoulders have gained 100 points of strength!”
“Can you find a better reason to fool me?” The archer looked contemptuous.
“See for yourself!” The martial artist handed the equipment to his companion.
“Strength +100… Damn, it’s actually true!” This 14th-level archer was stunned.
“No, this is enchanted. Is there a senior enchanter here?”
“Are you stupid? There is a level limit here. How can senior enchanters get in?”
“But how can a low-level enchanter have this effect? A piece of level 10 white equipment adds 100 points of strength… Who will believe it if he tells it!”
