After all, he was about to join the relevant departnt as an Awakener, so he should certainly know so things that ordinary Awakeners do not," Zhang Yanhang thought as he temporarily stopped his musings and started to answer Zhou Muxi’s questions, "I’m not a police officer, just an ordinary Awakener."
Zhou Muxi didn’t quite know how to follow up after hearing Zhang Yanhang’s answer, because the conversation she had prepared was based on the assumption that the other party would be a police officer to discuss so related matters of the public security departnt, but it turned out that he was just cosplaying, despite looking so professional.
"If you’re not a police officer, then why are you dressed so formally? Is it a side effect of your ability?" Even though the topic she had prepared was not useful, Zhou Muxi had to grit her teeth and continue the conversation.
"No, it’s just because this is a White quality ten-piece set. Although the set effect is only All Attributes 1, it’s still passable for the ti being, and I plan to replace it with items of higher Quality when I have the ti."
Given a chance, Zhang Yanhang intended to replace every piece of his White quality ten-piece set with Blue quality and Purple quality Equipnt more fitting for a Second Tier Awakened. Of course, he wouldn’t mind obtaining even better Dark Purple Quality or Light Gold Quality Equipnt.
"White Quality... a ten-piece set? Such a thing actually exists?"
Zhou Muxi wasn’t too impressed upon hearing about White quality, but her worldview began to wobble when she heard ’ten-piece set’, as she had only heard of four-piece and six-piece sets before, and this ten-piece set was the sum of both.
"Indeed, I’m not quite satisfied with the White quality ten-piece set, so that’s why I’m thinking of replacing it.
"Compared to the White quality ten-piece set, I actually prefer the Green quality ten-piece set much more. It only takes up a single Equipnt slot for a belt, and it provides an effect bonus of All Attributes 2, which is far superior to the White quality ten-piece set."
Although due to Rank constraints, the Green quality ten-piece set would face the sa issue of effectiveness running out once Zhang Yanhang advanced to Third Tier, it was still very useful to him at the mont.
Moreover, it remained Zhang Yanhang’s favorite set apart from the Tarot Card Set, with the Makarov Earring only ranking third.
A secondary reason for this was that Zhang Yanhang had been with the Green quality ten-piece set for a long ti, and he had grown attached to it.
The primary reason, however, was that while both the Green quality ten-piece set and the Makarov Earring provided an All Attributes 2 bonus, the Green quality set also added a 3.5% increase in Attack Power, defensive power, Movent Speed, Critical Strike Rate, and Critical Strike Damage, five quite practical attribute boosts.
So, just in that respect, the Makarov Earring would at least have to upgrade to Light Gold Quality to have any chance of surpassing the Green quality ten-piece set and ranking second.
"A Green quality ten-piece set that only takes up one belt slot? What’s that?"
Zhou Muxi could understand a separate Green quality ten-piece set, but its prerequisite of ’only taking up one belt slot’ completely crashed her understanding.
In her mind, each piece of Equipnt should occupy a separate slot, so going by that logic, did the other party have ten waists like so alien creature?
No, no, no, that’s definitely impossible. Therefore, Zhou Muxi felt she might need to understand this ’only taking up one belt slot’ in the simplest literal sense, but sadly, her not-so-vivid imagination failed to provide a reasonable explanation.
"Hard to understand? It’s just a multi-functional combat belt with nine components plugged into it," Zhang Yanhang explained as he pointed to his belt, which then emitted the belt’s inherent green glow.
Zhou Muxi, watching the cluster of green light around Zhang Yanhang’s waist, had to admit to the existence of this counterintuitive Green quality ten-piece set that only occupied one belt slot.
"It truly is a ten-piece set, already providing All Attributes 2 in Green quality, but unfortunately, it’s just Green quality, and it’s no longer effective for a Third Tier Awakened like ."
Zhou Muxi prepared to end this topic, which had refreshed her common sense twice already, in favor of a more normal one.
"True, I’m actually about to advance to Third Tier soon myself, in a week or two I’ll have to phase out this Green quality ten-piece set.
"But luckily, I have another Dark Purple quality two-piece set that also brings All Attributes 2. This Dark Purple Quality set should be able to stay with for a while, perhaps until I advance to Fifth Tier," he continued.
Although Zhang Yanhang might be able to upgrade his Makarov Earring to Light Gold Quality later, both Light Gold and Dark Purple Qualities correspond to Third Tier, which ans they could at best stay effective until he reached Fourth Tier. When he advanced to Fifth Tier, the bonus effects would be lost.
"But isn’t every equipnt slot on you already taken up by the White quality ten-piece set? How is there still room for a Dark Purple quality two-piece set?"
Zhou Muxi truly hadn’t expected what should have been the end of the topic to instead lead to another round of boasting.
Being boasted to three tis in a row by a stranger whose na she didn’t even know, the forced smile on her face that she had managed to maintain to make a good first impression was starting to falter, and she even began to suspect that the man opposite her might be a wholesale dealer of sets, decked out from head to toe in sets.
"Although the positions are filled, there’s still plenty of room for accessories."
As Zhang Yanhang spoke, he switched his helt and face mask to invisible mode and then showed his Makarov Earring, previously hidden, now glowing with its inherent dark purple light.
While Zhou Muxi saw the dark purple glow of the earring on his ear, she also caught a glimpse of his face. Although she had felt from his voice that he was very young, upon seeing his appearance, he seed even younger.
He must be at the high school or college stage, a post-millennial at a glance. In contrast, her 29 years placed her squarely in the ’auntie’ stage.
