Chapter 145: The Effect of the Calamity Rune (Plague)

"The next piece of equipment, the Plague Armor."

The thundering sound paused slightly, and the equipment attributes were posted in the channel.

Plague Armor (Epic/Dark Purple)
Equipment type: Plate armor

Equipment requirements: Constitution 200, Strength 200
Basic Attributes: Defense +25
Additional attribute: Total damage -30
Additional attribute: Magic resistance +25%
Skills/Passive: Plague. Every time you are attacked, there is a chance that the enemy will be cursed randomly for 60 seconds.

Skill/Active: Plague Aura. When activated, it summons a plague aura with a radius of 30 meters, causing negative energy damage equal to 1 of its maximum attribute to enemies within the range, and randomly adds a curse or disease every 15 seconds, which lasts for 2 minutes.

Evaluation: The power of plague flows through the armor.

"Top-grade armor, starting price is 200 gold. I'll bid 200 gold first."

"This thing is good, 250 gold."

"Add me, 280 gold,"

"It is indeed top quality, 300 gold."

Among the people who made bids, there was a person with a long-range profession, and his bids were very random, as if they were deliberately bidding the highest price.

Actually it is not.

There is no rule that you have to have suitable equipment to bid. The gold in the group speaks for itself, and you can bid as long as you can afford it.

It doesn’t matter whether you are the one who bids the highest price or not. If you bid the highest price and others don’t want it, you have to pay the money.

As long as you can afford it, it’s not the highest price.

Moreover, this plate armor from the Scourge Knight is indeed top-grade. Weapons, armor, shield, and accessories, these four types of equipment are more expensive than other parts, and the attributes of this one are also top-grade. The final value is definitely higher than the Mark of Death that Chu Cheng just bought.

Although other people may not need it, if the auction price does not reach their psychological price, they might as well take it and sell it outside and make the difference themselves.

Therefore, in a joint team auction like this, it is unlikely that someone will get a bargain at a price far below the market price.

Unless the value is extremely high, no one can afford the price, and only those with the highest bid can get a bargain.

Several people bid back and forth, and finally stopped bidding when the price reached 500 gold. In the end, it was won by Wang Jing.

He is a berserker and can equip this equipment.

While they were auctioning, Chu Cheng suddenly received a private message from Zhang Chaosheng:

"Brother Chu Cheng, are you interested in taking the Calamity Rune?"

Chu Cheng was surprised:
"I'm not interested. You can take the photo if you want."

"It's like this. The normal market price of the next Scourge Rune is very high, more than a thousand gold. But except for the Thunder Squad, the others in our team probably can't scrape together that much money. I estimate that it's only five or six hundred gold at most. It's a big loss for him to get something worth more than a thousand gold for only five or six hundred gold."

"I want to find a few people to borrow some money to buy something worth one thousand gold. Brother Chu Cheng, do you want to cooperate?"

"Well"

"You can ask a few more questions first, and then see how much difference there is."

"Don't worry, he may not need it. I can give him 1,000 gold if the Thunder Squad still needs it."

"Well, okay."

Chu Cheng agreed.

Indeed, he would not be willing to accept the fact that something worth more than a thousand gold was taken away for only five or six hundred gold.

At this time, Lei Ming had already completed the transaction with Wang Jing. He then took out the last item and posted its attributes in the channel.

Scourge Rune (Plague): A mysterious rune containing the power of the Undead Scourge. It is embedded in equipment and can give the equipment magical powers.

Lei Ming laughed and said:

"We were very lucky this time. The Scourge Rune dropped even though its drop rate was so low. If they knew, they would definitely regret it."

"Everyone knows what this thing does, so I won't introduce it in detail. I'm going to auction it now." "Plague and Scourge Rune, starting price is 500 gold. I'll start with 800 gold."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Chaosheng stood up and said:
"Let's not waste time and add more gold slowly, just go straight to the top, 1000 gold."

"Oh!"

Although he already knew it, he still gasped when he saw Chu Cheng. At the same time, he was extremely puzzled and asked Fang Xi in a low voice:

"Senior, what is the use of the Calamity Rune? Why is it so expensive?"

Fang Xi immediately explained:
"This is one of the accessories of the Divine Runeword Scourge. The Four Horsemen of Scourge may all have Scourge Runes, which are Plague, Slaughter, Curse, and Death. The four Scourge Runes are combined into one and embedded in a weapon to become Scourge Blade. Embedded in armor to become Scourge Body. Their properties are even stronger than those of ordinary legendary equipment."

"Oh!"

No wonder it’s so expensive, Chu Cheng understood.

As soon as Lei Ming saw Zhang Chaosheng’s bid, he knew it was the top price, but there was nothing he could do and he had nothing to say. If he were in this situation, he would also have bid the top price.

"1001 gold."

"P."

Lei Ming smiled bitterly:
"This really cleaned out the entire team."

Zhang Chaosheng curled his lips and said:

"Be content, I don't have money. If I were rich, I would compete with you."

Lei Ming immediately burst into laughter, and the bitter smile he had just put on disappeared.

"Come on, come on, I'll count the income and everyone can divide the money."

"Two rare equipment for 32 gold, two purple gems for 30 gold, Plague Aura for 50 gold, Nightmare Steed for 265 gold, Mark of Death for 400 gold, Plague Armor for 500 gold, Scourge Rune for 1001 gold, the total is 2278 gold."

"Feng Lingxing received 10 gold subsidies, Fang Xi received 15 gold subsidies, and there are 2253 gold left. It is divided among 16 people, 140 gold and 81 silver per person, is that correct?"

"Yes."

"Okay, let's trade one by one."

The transaction was completed quickly, and Chu Cheng and Fang Xi earned a total of 299 gold and 62 silver, which was equivalent to getting a top-quality jewelry for only about gold.

Up to now, Chu Cheng has 337 gold in funds, and Fang Xi has 448 gold. Together, they have a total of 785 gold, which is considered quite a lot of assets.

Although it cannot be compared with a senior team like Thunder Squad, it can be compared with the average personal funds.

This is the advantage of a team. There are only two people now. When we get five people together, the team funds will be larger and we will be able to earn more and buy more good things.

However, it is not easy to gather five like-minded and completely trustworthy teammates.

Especially for Chu Cheng, who possesses an immortal-level hero profession, with an immortal-level hero profession and a golden finger, his future strength is beyond the imagination of ordinary people, and it is not so easy to become his teammate.

At least a high-level heroic profession, or possessing extremely powerful talents like Fang Xi.

Those who possess these two or more points can basically stand out easily. They either form their own team or are recruited by other teams early on. There are very few who work alone.

In addition, you must find someone who is compatible with you and has a similar personality.

If you have a bad personality
"It is better to have nothing than to have something too much!"

If he really can't find the right one, he will never just pull a few people together.

At this time, Lei Ming clapped his hands to attract everyone's attention and said loudly:
"Brothers, we have killed all the Plague Knights. Now we will continue to look for other Scourge Knights. Do you want to continue?"

Zhang Chaosheng laughed and said:
"With such a huge harvest, of course we will continue."

"Which direction to go next?"

Lei Ming took out the map again, pointed further north, and said:
"To the north, the Death Fortress."
