Chapter 127: Chapter 127: The Dragon ‘s Mask
Translator: 549690339
Li Yao revealed a small smile, slowly turned and began to walk off into the distance, leaving his followers looking on in anticipation.
“Boss, ain’t we gonna fight?” Qiu Chujie quietly asked.
“Fight my ass, it was a fair duel alright? I’ll find my own way to solve my problems, no need to involve y’all.” Tie Niu sneered, the damage those Draconids dealt was too frightening.
A team of dozens of Draconids, even worse, they were all under Li Yao’s command and had formed a formation. Any direct assault on them was akin to suicide.
More importantly, there wasn’t much bad blood between both parties. The Bosses they had identified, one was a player, while the other had been killed. Engaging now would not only result in inevitable defeat, but even if they did win, there wouldn’t be any benefits.
Li Yao walked for a while and suddenly heard a notification. Tie Niu wished to befriend him.
Li Yao chuckled and accepted his friend request certainly. This guy was quite interesting.
After that, Li Yao started inspecting the equipment and items dropped by the Draconid Boss.
The generous Draconid Boss dropped four items in total; one was Purple Equipment, two were Blue Equipment, and one was a Skill Book.
Dragon’s Masquerade (Leather)
Quality: Purple epic
Armor: 85 Strength: 25
Agility: 23
Stamina: 22
Dragon Dance: Transforms into a baby Green Dragon and flies for 10 seconds, has a 5-minute cooldown.
Equipment Level:10
Li Yao immediately switched out his helmet and put it on. His face was completely obscured. Now, it seemed as though a dragon had taken place of his head and was curled up on his shoulders.
His eyes were also replaced by dragon eyes, giving him two terrifying vertical pupils that looked eerily strange.
Roar…
Suddenly, Li Yao’s body transformed into a dragon. It then sprung into the air, soared onto a distant hill, circled a few times, and then turned back into a human.
Standing atop a hill over two hundred yards high, Li Yao revealed a smile. With this special effect, a lot of terrain no longer restricted him.
As for the fact that his health had increased by more than 200 points, Li Yao wasn’t too concerned. Dragon Scale Shield
Quality: Excellent Blue
Armor: 300 Strength: 22
Stamina: 24
Poison Resistance: 15 Fire Resistance: 15
It reduces 20% damage received.
Equipment Level:10
The shield, even though it was blue, was made from dragon material. So, it was no less inferior than any purple-level shield.
Indeed, the material wasn’t from the Giant Dragon, rather from the Draconid.
But even so, the attributes were still incredible. Like the leather armor from earlier, it had almost 100 armor points.
This shield had added an amazing 300 armor points, and the reduction in damage received was the same as that provided by purple items. Not to mention the resistance to two elements. When facing a Necromancer or a Fire Mage, the 15 points of resistance would help reduce much of the damage.
Hand of the Fire Scale (Leather)
Quality: Blue
Armor:75 Intellect:23
Spirit:22
Firehand: Enabling hand of fire.
Equipment Level: 10
Suitable for: Druid, Martial Monk
So-called ‘suitable occupations’ are recommended occupations. Other occupations can equip them too, including Mages.
Just that, Mages lacked physical fitness. If they wore leather armor, their agility would become slightly affected.
After level 10, the most equipment began lifting job limitations and only provided recommended jobs. Some jobs, when they come across good equipment, would often see some mixed use of equipment.
The good thing about these regulations is that it broadens gameplay. For example, the Mage class that is clad in plate armor, which is traditionally worn by healing classes usually perceived as physically weaker, becomes stronger in terms of intellect. Similarly, more heavily-equipped Rogues would appear who didn’t like to stealth.
They didn’t need mobility and only pursued survival and output capabilities.
But the drawback is self-evident. Many groups and teams have complained about greedy looters citing ample reasons as these items were not exclusive to their class. Why couldn’t they want them?
Of course, everything has its pros and cons. The situation is as such, and he wouldn’t bother dwelling on these issues.
Steady Aim: When no enemies are within 10 yards from you, your inflicted damage increases by 20% with a proc rate of 100%.
Li Yao took a deep breath and learned the skill. It was a passive skill, and after level 10, one could choose such a skill.
Of course, they could learn many types of passive skills, but at level 10 only one could be activated at a time. It wasn’t until level 20 that they were allowed to add another passive skill into effect.
Strictly speaking, this skill was excellent and suited Rangers or Hunters who attacked from range. In his mind, the first passive skills he favored most were Night Walkers or Night Stalkers. Unfortunately, these skills were as rare as
Rune Stones.
People like Li Yao, who found himself often up-close and personal with enemies, diminished the effectiveness of the skill. But he needed to make a choice now since this was the only insipid skill he encountered so far.
With the additional skill, Li Yao’s remote damage shooting surged yet again, reaching a terrifying extreme.
After sorting out the equipment situation, Li Yao proceeded to level up by engaging Draconid while searching for treasure chests, yearning to acquire that special Flying Wheel.
Li Yao wearily returned to Undercity every night to scalping goods. The price of Shining Fruit didn’t increase, and people put them up for auction daily. Li Yao made sure to clean out the auction house each time he visited.
Nearing dawn, Li Yao mounted his steed and headed to Kael’Dan again, ordering his fire hawk to take him to the outskirts of the Dream Forest.
Zhao Lei’s scalping operation was also going smoothly. After just two days, they gathered an astounding number of over two thousand sets of Shining Fruit.
Also, with time passing, more and more players reached level 10.
Dumb Dumb and Feng Yi also occupied the last two slots of the top 10, receiving their talent point rewards, with Dumb Dumb reveling in her accomplishment.
As time passed, the number of level 10 players was increasing like a geyser.
The skills of the various guilds and top-tier players didn’t differ much. In fact, most of the people on the leaderboard were scattered players because they encountered some adventures or had unique methods.
Players from these guilds favored a steady and slow approach. They leveled up in a safe and steady manner; several days passed, and now the main stream of ordinary players were at level eight or nine.
The elites were pretty much all at level 10. Li Yao had set his profile to level 10. He didn’t want to stand out, nor did he want to be left behind.
Within a few days, Li Yao had lost count of the amount of Draconids he had killed and the number of treasure chests he had opened.
Due to the sparse number of players, the chance of opening a treasure chest was considerable. After a few days of hunting, Li Yao found several pieces of level 10 Blue Equipment, some other classes’ skill books, and some blueprints, all stored in his warehouse, ready to enrich the guild’s warehouse after the carnival.
Just before the carnival, on the day before, Li Yao had given up hope and was preparing to buy an ordinary Flying Wheel to use temporarily.
However, just before sundown, Li Yao opened a crappy treasure chest. Li Yao didn’t think that such a low-level chest would contain the item, but the moment he picked up the item, he was stunned.
He had spent so much time, opened so many high-level chest but didn’t get the Flying Wheel. But it turned out; it was in the worst chest…
