Chapter 287: Shi Shi Equipment, Sharp-Stone Earring

"Moreover, the Jiang'an Consortium was dismantled to this point; your betrayal was actually a helpless move to preserve your life."

Jiang Yongli stared at Lei Chen and said solemnly.

There was not a trace of resentment in his eyes.

Because he also knew clearly that the situation today was actually caused by his own lack of ability.

Even if Butler Lei hadn't betrayed him, others would have come to assassinate him.

"I believe that the desire to promote to the fifth-turn alone is not enough to make you betray me."

"To survive is the most fundamental reason."

Old Lei, upon hearing this, was actually moved, and his eye sockets turned red.

He had watched Jiang Yongli grow up; to him, Jiang Yongli was almost like his grandson.

But for the sake of survival, he had to strike.

"Please go in peace; I will do my best to protect the two young ladies."

After Lei Chen finished this sentence, Jiang Yongli nodded and wanted to say something else.

His mouth opened slightly.

Chi!

But the next instant, that violent dark purple lightning sword had already pierced his heart without question.

Clean and neat!

Jiang Yongli looked dazed, kneeling on the ground without a word.

A few seconds later, he died.

Subsequently, the violent lightning smashed his internal organs into fragments, leaving only a charred head.

No choice, Lei Chen had to be ruthless.

To create the illusion of the other party resisting fiercely.

Jiang Yongli was also a class-changer, but for so many years, he had put all his heart and soul into business.

So his realm simply couldn't compete with Lei Chen.

Subsequently, Lei Chen grabbed his hair, carried this head, and left.

Finally, the video closed completely.

The video sent to Su Ming was the last one.

So only Su Ming saw the whole process.

"He must have used some high-tier custom equipment to send these messages."

"Once he dies, it will immediately automatically disconnect the recording and send it out, then destroy all local evidence."

"This way, no one can find out who he sent the messages to."

Very few people could afford to forge such equipment.

"Looking at his haggard appearance, I'm afraid I'm not the only one who received a gift."

Su Ming immediately made a judgment.

"He couldn't have entrusted all his hope to a newcomer like me; he must have made other arrangements."

Su Ming finished watching the video, but there wasn't much of a ripple in his heart.

He had already seen too many partings and deaths.

But in his heart, there was still some admiration.

This middle-aged man was truly a tough guy, facing death with composure.

"I didn't expect that in less than a month, Jiang Yunqing would go from a wealthy young lady to a poor girl."

Su Ming muttered.

Truly, the world is impermanent.

Moreover, her future situation might even be worse than that of a poor orphan.

Because she and her sister had the theoretical right of inheritance to the Jiang'an Consortium.

No matter how the Zhang family dismantled their family's forces, this fact was hard to change.

If they didn't die, the Zhang family would never be able to occupy the Jiang'an Consortium completely with peace of mind, always feeling it wasn't perfect.

So the two of them... had to die.

With Jiang Yongli dead, there was absolutely no one left to protect them.

The Zhang family had no more obstacles.

Even if they inherited some of the last assets from Jiang Yongli now, I'm afraid they would soon be forcibly stripped away.

This pair of sisters being targeted by the Zhang family meant their days were numbered.

Su Ming's eyes were solemn, and he had already begun to think about whether to help.

"Forget it, let's see what Chairman Jiang gave me as a gift."

Subsequently, Su Ming opened the attachment column to check what gift Jiang Yongli had given him.

At this look, his eyes were suddenly shocked.

Unexpectedly... it was an epic piece of equipment.

It was a bright silver earring.

He took it out directly to observe it.

Scanning its data.

【Penetrating Earring (Lower-tier Shi Shi)】

【An earring dropped after killing a Black-Blade Mineral living monster, exquisite and light, not affecting combat.】

【After wearing, you immediately gain 20% permanent armor penetration】

Armor penetration!?

This was a very precious attribute.

As the name suggests, it allowed all your attacks to gain an equivalent value of armor-ignoring effect.

That is to say, when you slash at the opponent with a sword.

The opponent's armor only reduces 80% of the attack damage.

And 20% will directly penetrate the armor and slash into the opponent's body.

Equivalent to saying that even if the opponent is wearing some ancient-grade armor that resists 100% of all attacks, Su Ming can still slash him to death!

For those enemies with high HP and high defense, this attribute is simply god-tier.

A very, very precious attribute.

Generally speaking, 1% armor penetration has an effect exceeding the bonus of dozens of points of strength attribute.

20% penetration doesn't seem high.

But for such a precious attribute, this value is already very terrifying.

The improvement to damage is absolutely immediate.

Slashing at a squishy target might not have much effect.

But when slashing at high-defense enemies, one can almost gain an equivalent percentage damage gain.

Su Ming's eyes trembled, and he immediately sublimated this equipment.

【Sharp-Stone Earring (Mid-tier Shi Shi)】

【This strike adds penetrating force, breaking armor with steel sharpness.】

【After wearing, gain 40% permanent armor penetration】

The value increased again.

Almost equivalent to half armor penetration.

Then for Su Ming, there were no more big tanks.

Only squishy targets!

He immediately put it on.

Feeling a sense of penetrating power surging into his heart. ===== CHAPTER 289 =====
