Star Abyss Walker

Chapter 137 Lord's Shield (Bonus Chapter 18)

Looking at the Resurrection Scripture in the interdimensional storage space, I was still quite excited. The drop rate of this thing is very low. I have killed so many purple BOSSes and never seen one. This time, I was lucky enough to get one because I killed one solo.

It is foreseeable that this item, which grants players an extra life, will be in high demand and its price will be outrageous. Conservatively speaking, the price of a Resurrection Scripture will definitely start at one million Star Coins in the future, and it is impossible for it to be cheaper!

After calming my excitement, I finally turned my gaze to the purple shield.

The purple shield that dropped last time was given to Zhang Ruolin. At the time, she boasted that she was waiting for a fourth-tier orange shield. Now it seems she was going to break her promise. A shield is something you should use if you have it. It adds so much armor and can block bullet damage. Isn't that great?

The reason I didn't use it before was because shooting with both hands is more accurate, and without a particularly good shield, there was no need to sacrifice output to improve survivability.

After all, my principle for taking on a boss solo is to finish it quickly and use maximum damage output to defeat the boss in a short time – that's the key!

The next second, the attributes on the shield floated up—

[Lord's Shield] (Quality: Purple)
Rank: Tier 3

Basic Parameters: Defense 200, Perfect Parry Chance 25%, Projectile Damage Parry 85%, Resilience 2500/2500
Strength: +30
Agility: +27
Blessing: Fortitude-I, increases defense by 100 points.
Blessing: Resilience, increases your maximum health by 2000 points.

Strength required: 350
……

It was a fairly standard shield, almost identical to the Queen Bee Shield given to Zhang Ruolin. The only difference was that the Queen Bee Shield provided bonuses to both Strength and Constitution, while the Lord's Shield provided bonuses to both Strength and Agility.

That's good. Agility is also an effective attribute for sword-type super weapons. The higher the agility, the easier it is to move around, and the more you can suppress your opponent in mobile combat.

"Crack!"

The next moment, I equipped the Lord's Shield and glanced at the Elemental Furnace. It was quite good; the Elemental Furnace was already level 30. At this moment, I had reached a certain bottleneck attribute at level 30 and was just waiting for version 2.0 to be released to raise the level cap!
【Chasing Shadows】(Starry Sky Super Weapon - Sword Specialization - Tier 3)

Rating: 30
Attack: 1062-1450
Defense: 900
Life: 25300
Critical Hit: 10%
Bloodsucking: 13%
Damage increase: 5%
Damage reduction: 6%
Charisma: 0
Yuanli: 100/100
Overall combat capability level: 2988
Potential Point Allocation: Strength 595 / Agility 318 / Spirit 131 / Stamina 172
Achievements: 12
……

At this point, the attributes are already quite perfect.

With an attack cap of 1450, combined with the effects of Heavenly Craftsmanship, weapon armor penetration, and a 10% critical hit rate, the melee damage output will be terrifying, basically capable of taking down a mid-to-upper-tier player in one combo.

With 900 armor points, I've become the "Wall of Sighs" among players at this stage. With such terrifying armor, combined with the shield's 85% damage reduction, basically once the shield is up, no matter how much the opponent bombards me, I won't lose much health.

As for the health bar, it has been increased to a terrifying 2.53. Once such a tanky character with high attack, high agility, and high defense gets close, any player will probably feel a headache.

At this point, my overall combat ability level had reached 2988 points, just one step away from 3000 points. Unfortunately, it is too difficult for players to improve. Now the Yuanli Furnace has been fully upgraded, and I am also equipped with a full set of top-quality equipment. It is extremely difficult to increase those 12 points.

It doesn't matter anymore, let it be, there's no need to pursue whole numbers.

"drop!"

Suddenly, a WeChat message arrived from Lu Xiaobei: "Ding Han, are you back yet?"

"Not yet, what's wrong? Is something the matter?"

I was a little uneasy: "Could it be that this coward is willing to burn my house down?"

"That's not as exaggerated as it sounds."

Lu Xiaobei said, "I met with that softie Ken and scolded him until he left crying."

"..."

I was speechless. It has to be you, Lu Xiaobei. Being loved makes you fearless!

"What's the matter?"

"Milo's flight arrives in Huaining City tomorrow morning. He asked me to ask you if you, such a busy man, could do us the honor of getting together for a little while we can?"

"Okay..."

I glanced at the time and said, "But I definitely won't be able to get back to Huaining City tomorrow morning. Could you pick up Milo for me? I should be able to arrive in Huaining around evening."

"Yeah, that's okay."

Lu Xiaobei said, "In short, you must make it to dinner, or I'll hold you responsible."

I threw her a black bomb.

She quickly threw it back.

I would drop another one, and she would drop another one back, and so on, until we were both tired and stopped sending messages.

……

A land of cold winds.

Although the harvest was plentiful, the return journey was still long. They arrived at the Red Dragon Kingdom's border army camp late at night and rested in their tents for another night. The next morning, they set off with their explosive guns back to the teleportation point in the Land of Cold Winds.

Around 4 PM, they finally arrived at the phase teleportation array, went straight in, and returned to the Huaining City player black market.

"Ding Han!"

Old Ma spotted me immediately.

"Yes, Old Ma!"

I spotted him immediately; his face was so long that it was hard to miss him.

The two tacitly sat down in a corner of the exchange.

How was the trip?

"Good."

I took out the A-level Holy Blood Boiling skill book from my interdimensional storage space and said, "Do you want me to appraise this skill book? I'll sell it if the price is acceptable."

"Holy crap, my blood is boiling..."

Old Ma looked surprised and said, "Ding Han, we're friends. To be honest, I've never seen this skill book before. Judging by its effects, it might be quite powerful. If I were to set a price now, I'd probably be accused of ripping you off. Why don't you just advertise it on the star map yourself, or list it on the dark web? But don't sell it too cheaply." "Okay..."

Now that I have a lot of character experience, I didn't hold back. I immediately consumed 1% of my current level experience to open the Star Chart and shouted: "Selling a Gene Warrior Tier 3 A-grade hidden skill book, Sacred Blood Boiling. Serious and capable people, please DM me."

As he spoke, he shared the illustration of the Holy Blood Boiling in the message, leaving a mark on the star map.

Then, continue doing business with Lao Ma.

I took out all the items I had acquired that I didn't need, including my previous Tier 2 Blue Legion Blade. Old Ma then offered prices for each item, all of which were in line with market prices. He didn't rip me off, nor did he make me earn too much. Overall, it was a win-win situation.

But this saves me the time of personally selling the goods, which is more convenient.

In the end, I sold several pieces of equipment for over 30 coins. After replenishing my ammo and supplies, I had a surplus of over 20 coins. Finally, I made a profit on one of my outings. It seems that soloing is definitely more lucrative!
Just then, a voice came from the star map in my ear: "Master Zhu Ying, I want your Holy Blood Boiling. Where are you? Can we chat privately?"

It was a private chat from a female psychic player named "Rich and Generous".

"Player Black Market, Destroyer Bar".

"Oh, I'm nearby, I'll be right there, can you wait for me? I'm very keen to get this book, 'Holy Blood Boiling'."

"alright."

I nodded and said, "Old Ma, give me a private meeting room for free."

"okay!"

……

Shortly after, two figures entered the private room.

Walking in front was a psionicist with a large chest and an average appearance; he was the psionicist in the game whose name was Rich and Generous.

But the woman following behind her looked quite familiar; she was attractive and of a high social standing.

Bunny Strike, Level 30 Tier 3 Firepower Hand!

The man of Ragnarok!

I frowned, immediately stood up, and said, "Rabbit Strike, the person who really wants this book, Holy Blood Boiling, is you? If it's someone from Ragnarok who wants to buy this book, I'm sorry, I'm not selling it to you!"

"wait……"

Rabbit Blast looked at me with pleading eyes: "Ding Han, is this really necessary..."

"necessary."

I insisted, "Up until now, One-Sword Soul has been very hostile towards me. I don't want to sell such a rare skill book to my opponent; that would be no different from aiding the enemy."

"Ding Han..."

Rabbit lashed out, "Our Ragnarok is not what you imagine. I've advised my brother many times, and he nodded and said he wouldn't cause you any more trouble. Can't we just live in peace like this?"

"Really?"

"Well, it's true!"

Rabbit Blast held up two fingers: "I swear to God."

"Forget it, who would believe in oaths?"

I sat down again and said, "If you are truly sincere about acquiring this book, we can talk, but you need to promise me that you will never be an enemy of my side after Ragnarok. Can you do that?"

"I am the vice leader of the alliance, I can do it."

"Alright, name your price!"

I took out the Holy Blood Boiling and placed it in front of me.

"Three hundred thousand star coins."

Rabbit Blast said, "This is the highest price I can offer, Ding Han. I know your temper and I don't want to play games with you. This is the price. If you can accept it, we can call it a transaction. If you can't, then forget it. At this stage, although Holy Blood Boiling can definitely be sold for a high price, I think this price is already high enough."

Admittedly, the price is indeed quite high.

After all, Holy Blood Boiling is only an A-grade skill book, not the rarer and more powerful S-grade one.

"alright."

After weighing the options, I feel that the price is indeed quite reasonable. Moreover, as players' levels increase, the price of these Tier 3 skill manuals will inevitably decrease gradually. Holding onto them will only lead to depreciation, so there's no need to hoard them.

"it is good!"

Rabbit immediately pulled out 30 Star Coins, while I picked up several bundles of money and threw them into the interdimensional storage space, then tossed the skill book to her.

"It's kind of like a gangster deal..."

Rabbit Blast suddenly blurted out a sentence.

I couldn't help but smile; it does look somewhat similar.

……

"drop!"

At that moment, a WeChat message came from Lu Xiaobei: "Are you back yet? I'll give you an address, take a taxi here yourself."

"Row."

The next moment, she sent a location to a hot pot restaurant called Yu Meizi Hot Pot. She really loves hot pot!
