Chapter 9 Trophies

The refugees left quickly, leaving behind five silver coins as a thank you.

Chu Cheng didn't care. They had become refugees, so who would expect to get anything good? It was already good enough to get 5 silver coins, and the bulk of it was the spoils of war.

He rubbed his hands excitedly and took out the treasure chest of Captain Black Sail's loot first.

The ball of light turned into a wooden treasure chest, and when it was opened, there were two things inside.

A machete and a small purse.

Open the purse first, there are 1 silver and 24 copper in it.

The scimitar is a level 12 equipment, but it is a blank one, worth about 1 to 70 coppers, with a total value of silver and coppers.

The value of this loot is only average.

Next is the pirate leader’s loot chest, which is a blue chest. The difference in the loot can be seen from the material of the chest.

Chu Cheng opened the treasure chest with anticipation and took out three things from it.

Or a small purse, a scroll, and an exquisite little box.

The purse was opened and there were 3 silver coins inside.

As soon as the scroll was held in his hand, a transparent light screen appeared with an introduction on it.

Skill Scroll: Thunder Slash.

Attributes: Slash the target with the force of thunder, causing physical damage of 150% of its maximum attack, with a certain chance of tearing the wound and triggering primary bleeding, with a cooldown of 1 minute.

Tips: To learn this combat skill, you need 15 points of strength, 15 points of agility, a melee profession, and a two-handed weapon.

"Uh"

The last requirement left him speechless.

Two-handed weapons can be purchased, but without the two-handed weapon skill, it is impossible to activate the corresponding combat skills of this weapon. In other words, the two-handed weapon skill requirement actually includes the dual weapon skill.

Therefore, if he wants to use it for himself, he must buy a two-handed weapon scroll to learn the skill, then buy a two-handed weapon, and then he can learn and use it.

"so troublesome."

He could only put the scroll away first, then take out the exquisite wooden box and open it. Suddenly a blue light burst out from it.

Sapphire (fine quality): a magical gem that can be embedded in equipment to increase its properties.

“This is good stuff.”

Chu Cheng remembered that sapphire had the attribute of frost. If a high-quality sapphire was embedded in a weapon, it could increase the damage of the frost element by a considerable amount and also have a slowing effect.

However, equipment needs to be embedded with gems before holes are drilled. This requires a blacksmith to first drill holes in the equipment, and then find a jeweler to cut out the magic gems and then embed them into the holes.

Different equipment has different numbers of drilling slots. The core factor is the type of equipment, and the secondary factor is the quality of the equipment and the craftsmanship of the blacksmith.

Generally, weapons and armor have more holes than equipment such as gloves and boots, and two-handed weapons have more holes than one-handed weapons.

Most equipment requires manual drilling, but some equipment comes with built-in hole slots when it comes out. This type of equipment with built-in hole slots reaches the hole slot limit when it comes out, and more hole slots can no longer be drilled manually.

Chu Cheng put the sapphire away first, planning to embed it in a better piece of equipment later.

Once this thing is embedded, it cannot be taken off. It is a magic gem that costs forty or fifty silver coins each. Ordinary green equipment is not qualified to embed it.

Unless it is a green outfit that comes with four sockets, you can invest in it and embed a few better magic gems in it, so that it can be used for a long time.

After collecting the spoils, Chu Cheng clapped his hands in satisfaction, looked towards the burning and smoking town of Brad in the valley ahead, and continued forward along the path the refugees had taken.

After walking a short distance, they came to the edge of the canyon. After parting the grass and trees, they saw a small town in the valley below, which was covered in flames and thick smoke. It was in chaos and the massacre was still going on. Many militiamen and young men took up weapons and relied on the houses in the town to fight and retreat with the pirates. Chu Cheng saw students inside, and it seemed that there were quite a lot of them.

He looked to the other side of the town. A huge fleet was anchored in the sea outside the harbor. In the center was a seven-masted ship flying a pirate flag. There were many gun muzzles on it. From time to time, flames would light up and thick smoke would billow. One shell after another flew through the air with billowing smoke and fell into the town.

"You really dare to do it!"

"Aren't you afraid of being hit by a shell?"

Although this artillery is far inferior to modern weapons, such a large solid bullet coming from such a distance is not something that a flesh and blood body can withstand.

At least Chu Cheng wouldn't dare to do that. Even with his current health, he would be seriously injured if hit.

If you are unlucky and get hit by a large-caliber bullet, you might die immediately.

Such a short time is not enough to activate the escape scroll and run away, and there is a high probability that you will be killed instantly.

But in just this short period of observation, there were already more than thirty students who appeared in his field of vision, and if you add those who did not appear, the total number might be more than a class.

"Could it be that several classes are working together?"

Chu Cheng immediately turned on the local channel. Everything was normal, with only a few people talking. It seemed that they were not in Brad Town.

When I opened the class channel again, there were quite a few people chatting there, also discussing the massacre in Brad Town, but it was obvious at a glance that they were not in Brad Town, and the content had nothing to do with the current battle.

He waited for a while, then simply asked in the channel:

"By the way, does anyone know what's going on in Brad Town right now? I see so many people fighting with the pirate landing force in the town. Are they from our class? Why is the channel so quiet?"

The channel was silent for a few seconds, and then a classmate named Zhang Ning said:
"Don't you know? Class One, Class Two, Class Four and our Class Five's monitor have joined forces to do something big."

Chu Cheng was stunned for a moment, and asked in great surprise:

"No way, what they said before was true? They wanted to snipe the Pirate King in Brad Town?"

"Aren't they afraid of danger?"

"That's not the case. The Pirate King is so powerful. With our abilities, many people would have to die to achieve this. They wouldn't allow us to be teachers even if we wanted to."

"So what big thing do they want to do?"

"It's not convenient to tell you this. You will know it later."

"hair"

Chu Cheng closed the channel and looked at the burning town again with hesitation on his face.

According to the information released by the school, there will be an important side storyline in Brad Town - saving Brian Town. As long as you can ensure that Brian Town is not massacred within three hours, the mission is completed. The more townspeople who survive, the higher your performance score in this storyline, and the higher the reward will naturally be.

It is said that if the score reaches three stars or above, skill points will be awarded, which can be used to upgrade skills.

If the rating reaches four stars or above, additional free attribute points will be awarded.

If you can achieve the highest five-star score, in addition to being rewarded with skill points and free attribute points, you will also be rewarded with a piece of rare quality equipment that perfectly suits you and has very powerful attributes.

This reward is not bad, but the risks that come with it are too great.

This is not a game.

Although there are many means of resurrection in the Chaos Realm, whether it is the Chaos Stone or the Resurrection Scroll, they can be resurrected, but they are not something he can get, and the school is unlikely to pay such a high price for him.

Most students who die accidentally during class are truly dead.
