Chapter 87: Chapter 87: Equipment
Translator: 549690339
Let me first explain the level classification of fate equipment.
Based on humans’ current understanding of [Fate Space] and the equipment and tools brought out from it, fate equipment is temporarily divided into five levels according to its quality and the abilities it grants.
White (ordinary equipment): Provides comparable attack and defense power to ordinary equipment and offers one active skill.
Green (superior equipment): Further increases attack (or attribute attack), further boosts defense (or resistance), and provides one active or passive skill.
Blue (fine equipment): Based on the green version, provides two active or passive skills (or greater basic boost).
Purple (epic equipment):
Significantly improves basic attack or defense power (or directly changes the attack mode of the subject, for example, a regular sword strike may attack an additional time, or attack can harm the soul).
Provides a unique skill (The unique skill is related to the source of the epic level fate weapon, and its effect is far stronger than the active skills provided by fine equipment or below).
Orange (legendary equipment): [Data Missing]
Compared to the [Body Grading] that Han Dong’s golden finger can manage, the Holy City’s grading of fate equipment is a bit simpler with only five ranks.
The 4 grading of body quality from low to high is as follows:
Grey (Rough).White (Ordinary).Green (Superior).Blue (Rare).Purple
(Unique).Pink (Epic).Gold (Legendary). Dark Gold (Imperial)

Checking equipment.
Han Dong wouldn’t deliberately pit Knight Vino, as their relationship would be useful in the future.
Following Vino’s request, he won’t look at anything above fine equipment for now.
Moreover, Han Dong even glanced at the fine equipment marked in blue
letters, the values of which start quite high, reaching into the thousands.
Han Dong bypassed the ordinary equipment category in white, occupying a large portion, and set his sights on the superior equipment in green.
After quickly browsing all the green equipment, Han Dong shortlisted three items that he thought were most suitable for him. Fate Equipment- “Feng Hunter’s Prosthetic Leg”
Type: Attachable or installed footwear
Quality: Superior
Basic Attributes: Slightly increases leg defense and movement speed.
Special Effects: The user can consume [Seed] energy to release the active skill: ‘Rapid Step’ – increases movement speed by 100% for 5 seconds.
(After the effect ends, the subject will enter a ‘fatigued’ state with all speeds reduced by 30% for IOS).
Source: The relic of the Roman gladiator Feng Hunter. A special prosthetic leg used to replace his right leg, which was bitten off by a beast, helped him achieve the ‘longest survivor’ achievement in the beast fight arena.
Poor Hunter was still bitten to death by a beast in the end, with only this prosthetic leg left.
Fate Equipment- “Gryphon Cub Leather Short Boots”
Type: Wearable footwear
Quality: Superior
Basic Attributes: Slightly increases movement speed.
Special Effects: “Gryphon Wind Halo” – The user can actively open or close the halo effect.
When the halo is active, [Seed] energy will continually drain, the movement speed increase effect is doubled, reducing physical strain during movement.
(Halo effects consume very little energy. Based on the energy reserve of a three-star Apprentice Knight’s seed, this halo effect can be continuously activated for as long as 5 hours.)
Source: The production material [Gryphon feathers] comes from the young gryphon (a creature with a lion’s body and claws and an eagle head and wings) in the ancient Akkad myth.
This magical feather, perfectly combined with superior leather material by a high-grade tanner, forms this magical shoe.
Fate Equipment- “Blood Crystal Bracelet”
Type: Jewelry
Quality: Superior
Basic Attributes: Slightly increases the subject’s maximum lifespan (can be understood as increasing total blood volume)
Special Effects: “Blood Activation” – The user can consume [Seed] energy to activate an active skill, accelerating the speed of blood flow throughout the
body and speeding up metabolism.
All speeds increase by 15%, lasts for 7 seconds.
Activating ‘Blood Activation’ consumes moderate energy, and multiple activations will put the individual in a ‘weakened’ state, reducing all speeds by 40%. It takes over half an hour to recover, so use this skill sparingly.
‘Feng Hunter’s Prosthetic Leg’ Price: 900 copper coins. ‘Gryphon Cub Leather Short Boots’ Price: 1200 copper coins
‘Blood Crystal Bracelet’ Price: 1050 copper coins.
Actually, out of these three pieces of equipment, Han Dong was most interested in the cheapest first one.
The ‘swift step’ power it granted was quite intriguing.
In a matter of life and death, a few seconds could make all the difference.
Being able to suddenly burst out with super-fast moving speed to escape to a safe area, even if it leads to a 10-second ‘fatigued state’ afterwards, wouldn’t matter.
Moreover, Han Dong could easily remove his own leg to install this prosthetic leg.
The problem was, there was only one of this prosthetic leg.
Han Dong was somewhat worried that he might not be able to adapt to it and maintain balance in the beginning after installing the prosthetic leg.
The Fate Space would be opening soon, there was no time to get used to this prosthetic leg.
As for the bracelet, Han Dong had also considered it for a long time.
This equipment could enhance speed by activating blood, not just moving speed, but also attack speed and reaction speed… This could unexpectedly assist Han Dong in some key battles.
The drawback was clear, using it would consume a moderate amount of seed energy each time, and using it multiple times could lead to a ‘half an hour’ weakened state, which could be fatal in the time-critical Fate Space.
Of course, everything would be fine with moderation. In the end, Han Dong made the optimal choice.
“Knight Vino, let’s choose this footwear.”
Staring at the 1200 copper coins marked under the short boots, Vino’s face twitched a bit.
She was born into a noble family, but her proud personality had never allowed her to ask a penny from home since the day she became a formal knight.
All her earnings were dependent on the base salary distributed by the knight regiment every month and the copper coins earned from taking bounty missions.
For her, who was still only a common knight, these 1200 copper coins were a large sum of money…
“You really do know how to choose! You even picked the most expensive one among the green superior equipment.”
“Haha…” Han Dong could only respond with an awkward smile.
After paying 1200 copper coins using the ‘Vault Function’ of the clockwork device, the item was delivered to the private room.
It was a pair of brown leather short boots.
The design wasn’t as flashy as he imagined, with Gryphon feathers stuck on both sides of the shoes, instead, the Gryphon feathers and leather were fused together through some tanning technique.
As Han Dong tried on the shoes, the leather tightened, automatically adapting to the size of his foot.
At the same time, there was a subtly prominent silver-white feather mark on the outside of the short boots, giving Han Dong a feeling of lightness.
His personal feeling far exceeded the described ‘slight increase in moving speed’.
Han Dong tried to activate the ‘Gryphon Wind Aura’, the energy loss in his head was very slow, allowing for long term use.
“Good choice!”
Han Dong was very satisfied with his choice this time.
As for Vino Silist, her heart was bleeding at the sight of Han Dong’s boots, but she had to put on a nonchalant face.
“Thank you, Knight Vino.”
“We’re square now! Remember! If anything happens to little sister Fiya in the Fate Space, I’ll be the first to hold you accountable.”
“…emmm, got it.” Han Dong could tell that Vino was upset due to the high price of the boots.
The shopping was over.
The two naturally left the trading center together.
“Andwa my friend! You’re here too!”
Just as they reached the first floor, a familiar male youth’s voice came.
It was Cass and his group, using the reward from the last ghost incident to buy some necessary supply items at the trading center.
Silist didn’t turn her head, and her ordinary dress did not give her away, Cass couldn’t recognize her for a moment and bluntly asked:
“Who is this…your girlfriend?”
After all, it was easy for a mysticism scholar like Han Dong to find a ‘high-quality’ girlfriend.
Sophia, who was standing by, was momentarily stunned and speechless..
