Chapter 80: Chapter 80: The Military Saber
Li Ang stealthily made his way ho without any mishaps and began to tally up his loot.
[Quest Reward 1: Additional 300 Experience Points]
Inside the Longheng Shopping Center, a total of five Fierce Ghosts, as well as the souls of Ao Yong and Lost Airship—two players—fell to the Evil-slaying Array Talisman.
Since the search for the Talisman was a cooperative effort, the experience points from killing the Fierce Ghosts were divided among Li Ang, Liu Wu Dai, and the Plague Doctor.
Li Ang, contributing the most and having the highest share of participation, gained the most experience points from the kills, amounting to 270 points.
[Quest Reward 2: 500 Ga Coins]
Considering the difficulty of this quest, the amount was not surprising.
[Overall Player Performance: S ; Ga Coins and Experience Points increased to 160%]
This rating was not only due to Li Ang decoding the hidden background of the scenario quest but also because he didn’t betray his teammates and chose to wipe out all the hostile Ghosts in one fell swoop.
500 Ga Coins multiplied by a coefficient of 1.6 equaled 800 coins. Adding his savings, Li Ang’s Ga Currency balance officially broke the three-thousand mark, reaching a hefty 3,460 points.
And the total of 570 experience points, multiplied by the coefficient of 1.6, turned out to be 912 points, enough to fill up the Lv6 Experience Bar.
[In light of the overall player performance, a new Trait has been triggered]
Li Ang, hearing the System notification, nodded. Players above Lv5 might be granted different Traits by the System based on their performance in the quest.
The System projected the scene of Li Ang drawing the second Talisman on the fifth floor and prompted:
[Carefully Cautious:
1 Perception]
Perception Attribute is a good thing, able to anticipate enemies like a Prophet; the more, the rrier.
[Quest Reward 3: Random Quality Random Item*1]
It’s that mont the public loves to see—the treasure-opening ti.
Li Ang took a deep breath. Under Chai Cuiqiao’s puzzled gaze, he dashed into the bathroom. He washed his hands several tis with soap, then rubbed them together vigorously in front of his chest until they were dry, like a fly rubbing its forelegs.
He closed his eyes to focus, adopted the Seven Stars stance, and put his palms together, rotating them three tis to the left and three tis to the right. He then shouted, "Grant
strength!"
Open!
Upon clicking on the reward chest in his inventory, with a flash of white light, a long, bar-shaped object appeared inside the box.
The object was roughly a rectangular cuboid, about one ter and thirty centiters long, five centiters wide, and three centiters high. It was made of tal with a red and white exterior and was quite substantial. Holding it felt like carrying a chunk of steel.
[Na: Ruitu Military knife 300]
[Type: Tool]
[Quality: Common]
[Special Effect: Contains 300 tools including a main knife, small knife, pruning shears, bottle opener, wood saw, screwdriver, 200G capacity USB stick, curling iron, instant heater, lipstick, lip balm, tweezers, lighter, surgical pincers, shoehorn, toothbrush, toenail clippers, etc.]
[Equipnt Requirent: Strength Attribute of at least 6]
[Note: To outpace its rival’s new product, "Your Life 3000," Ruitu Company specially developed this Military knife 300. It not only boasts three hundred versatile tools but can also be used as a makeshift club if necessary. Truly a must-have for ho and travel.]
"...."
Li Ang stared at the ter-long steel bar, speechless for a long ti, lost in thought.
Damn copycat Ruitu Company, impersonating Switzerland! What’s your connection to Runtu? Having a bottle opener and a screwdriver is fine, but why in the world is there a curling iron and an instant heater?
Also, why is the toothbrush placed between the shoehorn and the toenail clippers? That’s bound to mix scents, isn’t it? That’s disgusting! Have they even considered the users’ feelings? Watch out, I might complain!
And this steel bar is ridiculously heavy, isn’t it? The requirent of a Strength Attribute of at least 6 to equip it clearly ans you need at least 6 points of strength just to pick it up?! Throwing it could literally kill soone, buddy.
Li Ang, with a vacant look in his eyes, went on a long rant about the ter-long Ruitu Military knife, but despite his verbal complaints, earnestly stowed it in his backpack.
Though it seed to be a joke (and probably was ant as one), it could still be of special use in certain situations... probably.
After all, a ter-long Ruitu Military knife isn’t exactly convenient to carry around.
[Quest Reward 4: One free attribute point]
These four items constituted all the rewards for the quest. Li Ang clicked on the level-up button and watched as the green Experience Bar for Lv6 gradually filled up.
[Current level is Lv7, Experience Bar is 444/700]
With the attribute point gained from leveling up, and the quest reward, Li Ang had two free attribute points, which he allocated to Intelligence and Agility respectively.
The reason he aid for balanced growth across the attributes was based on the personal experiences posted by other players on the forums.
A certain player, who had suffered bullying due to a leg disease that affected his mobility since he was young, first sought to cure his limp after becoming a player, and then invested all his free attribute points into Agility.
His Agility Attribute reached an impressive 10 points, while his Strength and Physical Attributes remained at 5. The consequence was that whenever the player engaged in intense activities like running or jumping, he would inevitably strain his tendons.
Focusing only on Strength and neglecting Agility and Physical Attributes would turn soone into an unwieldy lump of muscle.
Investing solely in Intelligence and Perception but not Physical Attributes could lead to frequently overusing the brain and fainting.
Therefore, it was a general recomndation on the forums that most players should aim for an even developnt of the six main attributes at lower levels, until higher levels, at which point they can confirm their specialization and diverge in developnt.
As a result, Li Ang’s player panel looked as follows:
[Frenzied Ripper · Li Rising]
[Lv7. Experience Bar at 444/700]
[Strength: 8] (The level of a top weightlifter)
[Agility: 8] (The level of a top sprinter)
[Intelligence: 8] (Genius)
[Physical: 7] (The level of a professional marathon runner)
[Perception: 8] (The level of perception of a top hunter)
[Charm: 4] (Average-looking, with sowhat weird behavior and speech)
[Equipnt: Strange Eye, Face-Changing Mask, Spirit Summoning Banner, Steel Stick, Ruitu Military knife 300]
[Backpack: AK47, grenade, Molotov cocktail, flashlight, Fire Rat Fur, Strange corpse, Plague Ghost Skin, White Bone Spine..]
[Skills: Adrenaline Activation thod, Ripple Breathing thod, Fragnt Scatter]
[Ga Currency: 3,460]
Just judging from the panel, Li Ang’s physical attributes had already reached the pinnacle for ordinary modern humans. If he were to compete in the Olympics now, he might well co back with a handful of gold dals.
Well, I guess it’s important to develop in all aspects: intellectually, physically, aesthetically, and technically.
Li Ang began doing chest expansions in his living room. He occasionally struck a few Bruce Lee poses with rapid punches, wildly shouting "HI-YAH! HI-YAH!
