Chapter 67

Just as this system voice appeared, the nameless book also began to change.

【Summon: Void Dark-Wing Black Dragon (SS)】

Li Yao learned it.

【Congratulations to the professional for completing the Second Turn quest. Current quest completion 100%. You may submit the quest perfectly. Submit?】

"As expected."

Looking at the system panel, Li Yao chuckled.

The quest required the subjugation of the Dark-Wing.

And the effect of the chess piece contract card was that the lower the HP, the higher the success rate of the contract.

Therefore, to achieve a 100% perfect Second Turn, it was nothing more than completely slaying the Dark-Wing.

Li Yao felt fortunate.

He hadn't chosen to leave the Dark-Wing’s health bar at 99%.

If the completion rate had been 99%, as someone with obsessive-compulsive tendencies, wouldn't he have been annoyed to death?

"Submit quest." ===== CHAPTER 149 =====

【Perfect job advancement successful!】

【Fate Level increased: Summoned creature attribute inheritance 40% → 60%】

【Obtained Cloud Top Chess Player Second Turn exclusive skill: Needle Cluster Volley (SS)】

【Chess piece population +1】

【Perfect job advancement reward: Free attribute points gained upon leveling up doubled; Hextech draw ×1 → Hextech selection (Gold) ×1; obtained Cloud Top Chess Player exclusive item: Golden Spatula】

The system notification sounds were incessant.

"So many benefits for a perfect job advancement?"

"No wonder everyone wants a perfect job advancement."

Li Yao was overjoyed.

The three rewards were each a massive boost for him.

However, this Golden Spatula...

Li Yao looked at the golden item floating before him.

【Golden Spatula】

【Special item: Collecting two can increase chess piece population, or it can be fused with exclusive items to become a chess piece job advancement certificate.】

"Same effect as in the game."

Li Yao held it in his hand, but helplessly, he hadn't even seen the shadow of an equipment piece, let alone another Golden Spatula.

Wait!

Li Yao suddenly remembered.

Earlier, the Man-Slaughtering Iron Cavalry had dropped forty gold coins.

The Dark-Wing couldn't possibly drop nothing, right?

Li Yao hurriedly walked to the place where he had previously slain the Dark-Wing.

"There really is something!"

A large amount of gold coins were scattered on the ground, along with a gray item resembling a glove.

At the same time,

four light orbs were floating in the air.

These were the clearance rewards the Dark-Wing had brought out for Li Yao to choose from; Li Yao put them into his storage ring and then looked at the glove item.

This thing was the key!

【Gauntlet (Unknown Item)】

【Equipment requirement: Cannot be worn by non-chess pieces】

【Attribute 1: Evasion +10%】

【Attribute 2: Gain exclusive attack effect: Critical Strike; triggering a critical strike increases current damage to 175%; Critical Strike chance +20%】

【Attribute 3: Can be fused with similar items】

Before obtaining the equipment, Li Yao had imagined that the equipment’s effect should be very strong.

But he hadn't expected it to be this outrageous!

Exclusive attack effect: Critical Strike?

Triggering it increases damage by 70% directly?

If a critical strike were triggered during a weakness attack, Li Yao didn't even dare to imagine that damage!

And this was just a small piece; what if it were fused into a finished piece of equipment?

Thinking it, he did it!

Li Yao immediately took out the Golden Spatula and fused the two.

A few breaths later,

an item resembling an emblem appeared before Li Yao.

【Assassin Emblem (Unknown Item)】

【Equipment requirement: Cannot be worn by non-chess pieces】

【Attribute 1: Evasion +15%】

【Attribute 2: Gain exclusive attack effect: Critical Strike; triggering a critical strike increases current damage to 175%; Critical Strike chance +25%】

【Attribute 3: The wearing chess piece gains the Assassin bond】

Both attributes had increased by 5%, which was a significant boost, but the key was the Assassin bond.

Now, Li Yao could activate two bond effects.

Void and Assassin.

【Void Bond】

【Three Void: Summon Void creature, Void Sea Worm】

【Five Void: Summon Void creature, Void Vanguard】

【Eight Void: Summon Void creature, Nashor Dragon】

【Assassin Bond】

【Two Assassin: Critical Strike rate +10%, Critical Strike damage +20%】

【Four Assassin: Critical Strike rate +25%, Critical Strike damage +35%】

【Six Assassin: Critical Strike rate +40%, Critical Strike damage +50%】

"Invincible!"

Li Yao couldn't think of any adjective other than these two words.

The former was for summoned creatures; judging by the difficulty of the bond, the summoned creatures would definitely not be weak.

The latter was a solid increase in damage.

Li Yao pondered slightly and decided to give this first piece of equipment to the Dark-Wing Black Dragon.

Triggering the Assassin bond with the Void Mantis would strengthen both!

Afterward,

Li Yao looked at the four light orbs.

Just as he had expected,

the Platinum-grade hammer was the exclusive equipment of the Man-Slaughtering Iron Cavalry.

Its attributes were very strong, but it didn't fit Li Yao, so he could put it up for auction as a showpiece later.

The two orbs were S-grade special materials that could increase additional attributes when forging equipment.

Such materials were extremely precious, not even inferior to the value of a skill.

"These are all showpieces for the auction!"

Li Yao sighed and carefully placed these items into his storage ring.

The longsword and the skill book, however, made Li Yao’s eyes light up, because he could use both!

【Inheritor (Weapon)】 ===== CHAPTER 150 =====

【Quality: Dark Gold】

【Equipment requirement: Level 25, Spirit 300】

【Equipment attribute 1: Wearer’s highest attribute increased by 200】

【Equipment attribute 2: Inherit (Active): Select one piece of equipment to inherit its entry attributes; cannot be repeated; original equipment is destroyed】

【Equipment attribute 3: Inherit】

【Equipment attribute 4: Inherit】

【Durability: 300/300】

【Earth Tremor (S-grade active skill): Strike the ground heavily with the weapon, causing a powerful shockwave; all hostile creatures within a ten-meter radius fall into a stunned state (stun duration depends on the target’s Spirit attribute); cooldown 60 seconds】

"Sure enough, wanting it all is the most correct choice!"

Four choices, two to keep; Li Yao would feel incredibly pained to discard any one of these four items.

Even the hammer and the orbs—

they were just things Li Yao couldn't use, but any professional who needed them would definitely treat them as treasures!

Little master, there is more to this chapter, please click the next page to continue reading, the rest is even more exciting!

The remaining two items were practically tailor-made for him.

A skill book to make up for Li Yao’s lack of control.

At critical moments, control skills could exert an effect that turns the tide of battle.

If Li Yao had had this skill when dealing with the Dark-Wing,

he could have dealt much higher damage during those six seconds and wouldn't have been slammed into the wall by the Dark-Wing, wasting time for nothing.

And then there was this longsword.

Three inheritable attributes.

It was equivalent to fusing the essence of three pieces of equipment to forge a divine weapon most suitable for himself.

Li Yao almost immediately thought of 【Goblin’s Proof of Courage】.

In a combat state, if a skill on a piece of equipment was used, the skill effect would dissipate after changing equipment.

When dealing with the Dark-Wing, he used the 【Beast King Robe】 to summon the Silver Moon Wolf; the attributes the Silver Moon Wolf boosted for Li Yao were as high as 1500.

Added to the other attributes of the equipment itself, Li Yao had to abandon the 30% strength boost brought by the Proof of Courage.

With this longsword, such a situation would not occur.

Li Yao chose to inherit.

【Goblin’s Proof of Courage】 shattered instantly.

"In that case, the White Jade Bone Blade is useless."

It was a bit of a pity.

The White Jade Bone Blade only had such an effect because of Li Yao’s high strength value.

If changed to an ordinary professional, the poison-attribute damage caused could only be described as negligible; it wouldn't fetch a good price at an auction, and calling it a "Platinum-grade floor tile" wouldn't be an exaggeration.

Thinking of the origin of the White Jade Bone Blade, Li Yao felt a bit comforted.

After all, it was just dropped by a small boss in the Primal Dungeon.

"Having accompanied me for so long, I’m a bit reluctant."

Li Yao stroked the blade.

"Don't worry, I’ll definitely sell you for a good price!"

At this point, the Dark-Wing’s loot had been counted.

Next, it was the rewards gained from the job advancement!

This was an SS-grade skill!

【Heart of Devotion】 didn't need to be mentioned; Li Yao was able to defeat the Dark-Wing almost entirely because of this skill.

Presumably, this 【Needle Cluster Volley】 wouldn't disappoint him either.

"However,"

"why does this skill look so familiar?"

It seems to be...

the ultimate move of the little scissor girl? ===== CHAPTER 151 =====
