Chapter 170: New chess piece, Queen's Fury!

After reading the attributes, Li Yao only wanted to say one thing.

Isn't this far stronger than some Epic-grade equipment?!

Every stat increases by a percentage; the further into the late game, the more powerful it becomes!

For a Predator,

the main stat is Stamina.

Each stack is equivalent to a 4% Stamina increase; at max stacks, it's a 100% increase—how exaggerated is that?

You have to know, even the SS-grade passive skill 【Goblin Slayer】 only increases damage by 15%. The gap is massive!

It's not that 【Goblin Slayer】 is weak, but rather that Titan's Resolve and the Cloudtop series of equipment are just too strong!

What excites Li Yao the most is the size increase to five times normal after reaching max stacks!

The Void Predator's size increases in proportion to its HP.

After devouring the divine might of a Named-grade monster,

the Void Predator's standard size has already reached seven meters in height.

If it shares 【Distance is No Obstacle】,

"Void Mantis, move further away."

The next second,

the Predator's size suddenly shoots up; with thousands of Stamina points added, it directly gains nearly 300, 00 HP.

Standing beside it, Li Yao doesn't even reach the Predator's shin!

It's as if a villa is standing right in front of him.

Looking up, he sees those ferocious mouthparts; the entire figure blots out the sky and sun!

After Titan's Resolve is fully stacked, it's five times the size—that is, fifty meters!

That's about the size of a sixteen-story building; it's not much smaller than that maggot anymore!

By then, the range of the 【Rupture】 skill will likely reach the size of a football field.

No matter how fast a monster is, it definitely won't be able to dodge such a large area!

It might not become much stronger, but it will definitely look awesome!

As a Cloudtop player, Li Yao is quite satisfied with this piece of equipment!

Next is the star-up.

After upgrading the Predator and the Blue Bird last time, Li Yao had 130 gold coins left. Counting today's earnings, he has already saved nearly 400 gold coins!

He is not far from the 500 required to upgrade the Void Mantis.

He uses 40 coins to upgrade the Predator to SS-grade and will save the rest, waiting to star-up the Void Mantis.

Light flickers, and the gold coins disappear.

The name changes from 【Void Predator】 to 【Void Devourer】.

The other stat increases aren't very significant.

The Stamina stat skyrockets directly to 2, 00.

At the same time, a new skill appears in the Predator's skill bar.

【Skill 4 (New): Dread Spike: The Devourer's attacks release lethal spikes, damaging all enemies in front, dealing 1% of their Max HP as Magic Damage, lasting 5 seconds, with a 10-second cooldown.】

"Oh? It's actually a skill."

Li Yao says, pleasantly surprised.

Dealing Magic Damage based on Max HP is undoubtedly the strongest offensive skill for a Predator that possesses a terrifying HP bar!

It transforms from a sandbag into a spiked sandbag.

Anyone who underestimates the Predator's output capability will pay the price for it!

With such a powerful skill, Li Yao suddenly has the urge

to upgrade the Predator directly to SSS-grade, but he forces himself to hold back.

The Void Mantis is already an SSS-grade summon; it's only one step away from reaching a higher level, so there's no need to waste gold coins at this moment!

Li Yao hasn't even heard of what rank comes after SSS!

Upgrading to SSS only takes 100 gold coins, but the next upgrade requires 500!

It's easy to imagine that the two ranks are simply not on the same level; it will definitely be an unprecedentedly large boost!

"Still 147 coins short; endure a little longer!"

Li Yao comforts himself inwardly.

At the same time, he places three treasure chests and one earring in front of him.

These are the drop chests from Shen Wei and Ke Er-yin, plus the first-clear chest, and the earring rewarded for being the top contributor.

The earring's design is very low-key.

A silver-white hoop with a small, deep-blue crescent moon hanging from it.

It's not light, weighing about as much as a keychain.

【Time Memory (Earring)】

【Quality: Purple-Gold】

【Equipment Requirement: Level 30, possess a skill with a cooldown exceeding 12 hours】

【Equipment Stat 1: Spirit +400, Stamina +200】

【Equipment Stat 2: Indestructible (Passive): Infinite durability, never breaks】

【Equipment Stat 3: Memory Retracing (Active): Select a skill with a cooldown of 24 hours or less and reset its cooldown; Cooldown: 24 hours】

【Durability: ∞/∞】

"Purple-Gold grade equipment."

'Only when you possess a piece of Purple-Gold equipment can you call yourself a powerhouse.'

This is a famous quote left by a top-tier professional in a textbook.

Now, Li Yao truly understands this sentence.

It's too strong!

The high stat bonuses alone are something Dark Gold equipment can't hope to reach.

And refreshing a skill's cooldown undoubtedly elevates this piece of equipment to an unimaginable level!

Skills with cooldowns exceeding 12 hours are already ultimate moves capable of changing the tide of battle.

With this earring, it's equivalent to doubling the effect of any skill.

In the future, if he encounters a monster that 【Needle Cluster Barrage】 can't kill in one hit, if once isn't enough, he'll just do it again.

His burst capability can be said to have leveled up a tier!

He can wear it at level 30, which isn't far off.

When the time comes, he'll go to the Some Jingyu Martial Academy, find a dungeon, and grind for two weeks to reach level 30.

Li Yao carefully puts the Time Memory earring into his backpack.

Then, he opens the three treasure chests all at once.

Light shines, and four pieces of equipment and one skill book appear before Li Yao.

Regarding the drop chests from Shen Wei and Ke Er-yin,

Li Yao doesn't have high expectations.

No matter how you look at it, these two monsters have nothing to do with Summoners, and the loot won't be equipment or items related to Summoners.

As expected,

three of the four pieces of equipment are Knight-class gear.

The usage level is around 35, and the grade is quite high—all Dark Gold equipment.

Two of them are even Epic-grade.

Li Yao puts them into his storage ring.

It is perfectly normal for a professional to grind equipment that doesn't fit their own class.

Therefore, trade fairs similar to the one Li Yao held previously are basically held by professionals every day.

When his level is high enough, he'll just find a large-scale trade fair and exchange them for the equipment he needs.

As for trading them for Dragon Coins?

Li Yao hasn't even thought about it!

The stronger a professional becomes, the lower the utility of Dragon Coins will be.
