Rebirth of the God Hunter Legend

Chapter 186 Lingchuan's Strategy

The dark red armor, with its grand and retro-style markings, even though it only includes the lower body, shoes, and hands, one can still imagine the heroic figure of a player wearing this armor.

Furthermore, after the second encounter with the quasi-boss, he definitively concluded that the first kill of each area's quasi-boss would always drop three specific pieces of armor; the missing upper and head armor pieces must be from the area boss, and there are two ways to kill the boss:

First, directly kill a level 1 "contractable" BOSS. The advantage is that it is simple and straightforward, and the drop rate and experience are the same as the main body. The cost is that you lose the opportunity to form a contract.

Second, you can contract a level 1 boss and wait for the next wave of bosses to spawn. Contracting doesn't count as a kill, and the first kill will be retained. The downside is that you need to complete the level 35 Radiant Silver boss strategy. If it were up to him, he would choose the first option without hesitation, as it's both convenient and quick. As for the battle pet? It's just a transitional item for Radiant Silver-level bosses, so it doesn't matter whether he has it or not. However, considering his siblings' good habits of diligence and thrift, he'll reluctantly do the work.

"Phew~ Cleaning up the battlefield."

He put away his crossbow, picked up Betty, and used his leaping footwork to traverse the mud. He picked up commands and executed them in quick succession, and in the blink of an eye, the battlefield, once filled with eyeballs, equipment, and coins, was empty again. Glancing at his noticeably increased backpack weight, Ling Chuan began to examine the loot he had collected. After all, coins and eyeballs were special items; special items could be stacked infinitely and didn't take up weight. Therefore, the only thing that could cause such a significant increase in weight was the acquired equipment.

In his inventory, thirteen bronze orbs of light were neatly arranged. Too lazy to look at them one by one, he simply brushed away all the obscuring orbs at once, revealing all the equipment inside.

There were thirteen bronze artifacts, all level 30 items. Ten were armor pieces, two were accessories, and the other was a combination of cloth and armor. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a dark red cloak! A cloak? Let's check its stats!
[Darkly Addicted to Cloaks] (Bronze Ware)
Category: Armor

Defense: +60
Physical strength: +25
Requirement Level: 30
Required Class: Knight
……

Sure, aside from lacking special effects, its fixed attribute bonuses are no weaker than his Moon Cloak! Moreover, its most valuable aspect is its rarity, so this time it's my brother-in-law's turn to strike it rich.

He solemnly put the jewelry away and turned to look at the two pieces of jewelry, a ring and a necklace, both of which had a metallic scale pattern and were quite rough.

【Angry Scale Ring】(Bronze)
Category: Ring

Feature: Increases the user's stamina by 10%.

Requirement Level: 30
……

【Angry Scale Pendant】(Bronze Ware)
Category: Necklace

Feature: Increases the user's stamina by 10%.

Requirement Level: 30
……

Pseudo-set accessories are accessory components with the same attributes, similar names, and identical styles. Although they do not have additional set attributes, these single accessories that stack the same attribute are second only to sets. The 30% stamina bonus from having all three pieces is extremely considerable. Whether given to an older sister who focuses on all stats or a brother-in-law who focuses on both main and secondary stats, they are an excellent choice.

Okay, let's do a couple more sets to prepare for tonight's group activity.

Having made his decision, Ling Chuan returned to the Mud Nest, reaping the free experience gained from the outside world. Now, it was time for the freebies.

【drop】

Just as he was about to embark on another adventure with Betty, a message notification rang. His intuition told him it wasn't his older sister and the others, because they were too busy being tortured to send a private message. He opened it to take a look.

[Private Chat] Suddenly looking back: "Ahem."

Cough cough? What does that mean?
! ! ?

Suddenly, Ling Chuan realized that it was about the friend slot—he had forgotten about giving Xi Xiaoxian a friend slot.

Because I was busy correcting Qingmo Duanjian's twisted personality, I neglected this matter that I could have easily dealt with, and it's been sitting there ever since.

[Private Chat] Ling Chuan: "I'm so sorry! I'll add you right away!"

After speaking, Ling Chuan opened the application list, searched for "Xi Xiaoxiannv", randomly picked one, and clicked "accept"!
……

In the level 27 leveling area, Xi Xiaoxian, who was fiercely killing monsters, paused for a moment, turned around, used forced stealth to disengage from combat, and ran all the way to Mo Ran Huishou's side, exclaiming in surprise, "Xiao Ran! He...he added me!"

Suddenly turning around, I silently closed the chat window and congratulated them, "Congratulations on gaining your idol's attention."

Mu Xi grinned foolishly, her heterochromatic cat eyes fixed on the bright ID, a thoughtful look on her face.

One second, three seconds, ten seconds, joy turned into complexity, complexity turned into anxiety.

Turning around suddenly, she asked in surprise, "What's wrong? Did he say something bad to you?"

"Huh? No, no, no!"

Mu Xi shook her head repeatedly, giving a series of denials, and said with difficulty, "Before adding them, I felt like I had a lot to say, but after adding them, I don't know what to say."

Looking back suddenly, she said helplessly, "How about we say hello first?" After thinking it over, Mu Xi judged, "Too ordinary."

"Show some concern?"

"Wouldn't that be too abrupt?"

"Then why don't you just stay silent?"

"I can't be aloof."

……

Finally, Mu Xi had a sudden inspiration and impulsively edited a message and sent it over.

Suddenly turning around, she asked curiously, "What did you send?"

Mu Xi closed the chat window, covered her face with her hands, squatted down on the ground, and sobbed, "I sent a very strange message."

"Weird?"

Looking back suddenly, I was filled with questions, but I didn't dare to ask them.

……

In the swampy area, Lingchuan, who had already reached the bottom of the mud nest, received another message notification.

Tap to open.

[Private Chat] Fairy Xi: "Explode, reality! Shatter, spirit! Banish this world!"

"..."

What the heck?! What's with these incredibly embarrassing lines? Are they going all out right from the start? Hmm?

[Private Chat] Lingchuan: You said...

Before he could even type a word, he deleted the message. No way! The other person's immediate greeting was from another dimension; they were clearly prepared. If he replied normally, would he seem low-class, out of place, or clueless about social cues? Yes, he had to play along! He had to follow his strategy: use shame to win over shame, use chuunibyou (adolescent delusions of grandeur) to win over chuunibyou!
[Secret Chat] Lingchuan:...

After carefully considering each word, I replied to a message and closed the chat window with satisfaction.

Perfect! The radio waves are definitely on target; he truly is a genius.

To boast a little, Ling Chuan stepped out of the muddy tunnel, and his previously restricted perspective suddenly opened up.

Before him was a circular battle area covering fifty meters, and in the center of the area, a one-meter-long heavily armored crocodile was staring at him with a sinister gaze!
Exploration Technique!
【Crocodile King - Armor】(Silver-level BOSS)

Rating: 1
Attack: 30
Defense: 25
Qi and blood: 650
Skills: [Hell Cradle], [Mud Pit Kill], [Giant Jaw Suppression]

Introduction: One of the five kings of the swamp, the leader of the scythe, specializing in three elements, with extraordinary talents, possessing extremely strong suppressive abilities, and even the power to summon crocodiles!

Status: Contractable ▽
Contract attributes:
【Crocodile King, Armor】(Silver-level BOSS)

Attack: ★★★★★ | ★★★
Defense: ★★★★★丨★
Qi and Blood: ★★★★★丨★☆

Potential for growth: ? ? ?
……

In a word, strong! Excluding its hidden flaws and slow speed, it is much stronger than Queen Bee Aina in terms of basic strength. Of course, the final result depends on its potential star rating. If it becomes 7 stars or below after the contract, then it will be given to the Black Coffin's coach as a reward. Otherwise, it will be used internally.

Thinking of this, Ling Chuan revealed the Hunter Emperor's successor, took out a contract talisman, locked onto the Crocodile King's face, and smashed it down.

……

Meanwhile, in the level 27 leveling area, Fairy Xi peeked out with her eyes at the chat box, her face showing a hint of embarrassment compared to her previous shyness, all because of a message displayed in the chat box.

[Private Chat] Past Lives and Present Lives: "Yes! The problem isn't with us, it's with the world!"
