Chapter 108

Five percent total attributes?

Li Yao looked at the equipment introduction and pondered.

Calculated, it’s higher than the [Ancestor]’s ten percent single-attribute bonus.

But with the bonus spread out, the effect isn't as obvious.

It can only be said to meet the expectations of Epic-tier equipment, not powerful to an exaggerated degree.

The second equipment attribute.

Swap positions?

Does it mean the two marked chess pieces can swap positions at any time?

Even he himself can?

Li Yao’s eyes lit up; this effect is huge!

Just like just now.

The Immortal Thunder Mouse used the skill [Thunder Armor] to quickly approach Yan Yan Lingtian and stun him.

If the opponent were a powerful monster, Li Yao could completely rely on swapping positions to appear before the opponent unexpectedly and unleash a burst of damage!

Even at critical moments, he could let the Predator swap with other chess pieces to save its life!

At this moment.

Li Yao had made up his mind; he must get this equipment!

But Li Yao didn't make a scene.

Revealing urgent desire in a trade would likely lead the other party to raise the price!

Li Yao looked at Zhang Zhang Yucheng and smiled faintly.

"If I remember correctly, besides Summoners, not many professions have auxiliary units."

Zhang Zhang Yucheng’s expression stalled: "Yes, but it’s not like there aren't any."

"And the first attribute, it can—"

Speaking to this point, Zhang Zhang Yucheng paused, realizing he shouldn't expose the equipment attributes.

He changed his words: "The first attribute is suitable for most professions; you can't deny that."

Li Yao didn't care.

Which profession can adapt to all four attributes?

Four-dimensional attribute bonuses—besides him, not many professions can use them.

Seeing Li Yao didn't speak, Zhang Zhang Yucheng’s expression sank.

Clearly, he also knew the drawbacks of this equipment.

At this moment, Li Yao chuckled and continued: "You brought this equipment over, proving that in your heart, you also think this equipment is suitable for a Summoner, right?"

"But—" Zhang Zhang Yucheng gritted his teeth, looking very troubled.

"How about this, I’ll add this, what do you think?"

Li Yao took out a red bead and tossed it to Zhang Zhang Yucheng.

That’s about enough.

If he kept going, Li Yao would feel a sense of guilt for bullying an honest person.

This bead was dropped in the Tower of Heaven; it’s an S-rank equipment material used when forging equipment to increase additional damage.

He had dropped two, one of which was prioritized by Shang Shang Zijin, exchanged for a level 50 Platinum piece of equipment, and is currently worn by Li Yang.

Li Yao couldn't use it himself, so taking this one out now wasn't a waste.

Epic-tier equipment attributes mostly carry special functionality, and the drop rate is even lower than Purple Gold equipment above Dark Gold!

Trying to exchange it with just an ordinary Dark Gold piece of equipment was indeed too much.

Zhang Zhang Yucheng caught the bead, looked at its attributes, and sat down directly.

"Deal."

With this, the Silver Wolf Auction ended perfectly.

Except for some small episodes, it basically met Li Yao’s expectations perfectly.

After getting the equipment from Zhang Zhang Yucheng, Li Yao hurried toward the outside of the venue.

As for the auction, he left it to his mother, Guo Ning, to finish up.

He was in a hurry to go back and check the things Senior Xue had brought!

Just as Li Yao left the auction, he felt several resentful gazes.

The Yan family’s top brass had already arrived, not Yan Yan Xinghong, whom Li Yao had met, but a middle-aged woman with black hair.

Her expression was as if she wanted to skin him and eat his flesh.

However, Xue Xue Jiuling was standing there holding Senior Xue’s token, so even the Yan family couldn't touch Li Yao at all.

Li Yao passed by them just like that, not taking them seriously at all.

Even if Xue Xue Jiuling hadn't arrived today—

He could have dealt with them using his Chess Player talent and the Void Mantis’s stealth.

And his relatives and friends were all on the Star Net.

Li Yao naturally didn't need to fear them.

Soon, under the murderous gazes of the Yan family’s top brass, Li Yao boarded the Star Net’s internal elevator.

Tomorrow is the Martial Exam.

Jiangzhou is an affiliated city of Sangyu City, and the Martial Exam is held in Sangyu City.

Li Yao didn't plan to return to Jiangzhou and prepared to stay at a Star Net hotel.

Shang Shang Yana and Shang Shang Zijin were returning to Qinghai City to prepare for the Martial Exam.

Qin Qin Yue was returning to her father’s side to prepare for tomorrow’s Martial Exam.

Li Yao could finally have some peace and quiet for a while.

Arriving at his room.

Li Yao took out the box Xue Xue Jiuling had given him.

"Also a scroll?"

Looking at the item in the box, Li Yao wondered.

[Heart of Authority (Item)]

[Quality: SSS-rank]

[Introduction: Increases professional rating, with a maximum cap of SS-rank.]

SSS-rank.

It’s actually SSS-rank?

Li Yao almost didn't react.

This was his first time seeing an SSS-rank item.

However, after reading the introduction clearly, Li Yao couldn't help but feel a bit disappointed.

This item can increase an SS-rank profession to SSS-rank at most.

Just by guessing, Li Yao knew how precious this item was!

Until now, Li Yao hadn't seen a single SSS-rank professional, yet this item could create one.

His SS-rank job-change scroll wasn't even worth a fart in front of this item!

Senior Xue had indeed put in the effort.

But.

Cloud Top Chess Player, no matter how you look at it, doesn't look like just an SS-rank profession.

Li Yao didn't even dare to use this item.

What if it succeeds and turns his Cloud Top Chess Player into an SSS-rank profession? What then?

"After the Martial Exam, I’ll go return it to Senior Xue."

Li Yao thought silently.

Just then.

A mechanical sound suddenly echoed in his mind.

[Detected a rare item incompatible with Cloud Top Chess Player; the Hex System can convert it!]

[Convert?]

"Hiss!"

Li Yao’s mood was like riding a roller coaster.

Without the slightest hesitation, he said excitedly:

"Convert!"

[Converting]

[Conversion successful!]

[Heart of Authority -> Hex Heart]

[Hex Heart (Item)]

[Quality: SSS-rank]

[Introduction: The lowest-level existence in a certain unknown energy system, an exclusive item for Cloud Top Chess Player, can calculate one additional chosen bond for the Cloud Top Chess Player.]

"Hex Heart?" Li Yao was stunned, "Isn't that the kind of bond-type Hex?"

"No job-change emblem, just direct additional calculation."

"Isn't this just a Silver-tier Hex?"

The lowest-level Silver Hex in the Hex System.

Converted to the professional world, it suddenly transformed into an SSS-rank item near the pinnacle?

Li Yao suddenly felt a sense of loss, but not entirely.

However, Li Yao had to think carefully about this bond.

Elementalist is currently missing one chess piece, so using the Hex Heart is appropriate.

But after the Elementalist bond is triggered, it only summons a blue stone statue to fight.

Li Yao currently has five chess pieces and doesn't lack combat power; is it too wasteful for a stone statue?

It would be better to find a way to gather those big bonds like Void or Assassin.

The Void Vanguard summoned by five Void chess pieces.

No matter how you look at it, it’s stronger than the stone statue summoned by three Elementalists!

And it can also prepare for the Nash Giant Dragon later!

Li Yao pondered to himself.

Then he whispered in his heart:

"Select, Void."
