Chapter 86

These attributes were too heaven-defying!

A super damage boost every two minutes—this one attribute alone was enough for all professionals to treat it as a treasure!

Not to mention, it also had the 100% boost attribute that was incredibly compatible with Li Yao.

No wonder big family descendants like Shang Shang Zijin would fight tooth and nail to clear Purgatory-level dungeons.

Such equipment could accompany a professional for a lifetime!

Last time, when he cleared the Feeding Cave Purgatory-level for the first time, Li Yao also got an SS-rank transition scroll; they should be about the same in terms of scarcity.

But this piece of equipment was undoubtedly more suitable for Li Yao.

Li Yao equipped it.

His panel was as follows:

[Name: Li Yao]

[Class: Cloud-Top Chess Player (Hidden Unique)]

[Level: 21 (9864%)]

[Health: 6080/6080]

[Strength: 85]

[Spirit: 748]

[Agility: 420]

[Stamina: 180]

[Free Attribute Points: 30]

[Chess Piece Space: 4/4]

[Equipment: King's Scepter/Inheritor, Heart-Protecting Mirror, Swift Boots, King's Cloak, Summoner Master's Waistband, Ancestor, Beast King's Robe (7/8)]

[Skills: Void Mantis Summon, Blue Bird Summon, Void Predator Summon, Void Dark-Winged Black Dragon Summon, Hedge Fund, Combat Training, Demon Contract, World at Your Fingertips, Earthquake, Shackles, Goblin Slayer, Heart of Devotion, Needle Cluster Shot]

[Talents: Hex, Bond, Armament, Chess Player, Star-Up]

[Title: Abyss Loner LV2 (Unique)]

This was Li Yao's normal panel attribute.

Ordinary professionals at level 20 had a main attribute of around three hundred.

Big family descendants like Shang Shang Zijin, with top-tier equipment, could stack all four dimensions to around five hundred at Li Yao's level.

To get higher, they would need Dark Gold-grade equipment, which was hard for even them to obtain.

Except for his spirit attribute, Li Yao's other attributes were actually quite average.

This was because, except for the equipment he could use himself, he didn't choose to wear anything else.

His strength came from the feedback of his chess pieces.

If equipment didn't have special effects, the improvement was very small.

It was better to put the good stuff in the auction and then slowly pick out equipment that suited him.

Li Yao still had an equipment slot reserved for the [King's Ring] from the [King's Power] set.

He had handed the materials to the Qin family; surely it would be finished before the Martial Exam, right?

During the auction, he would try to prioritize replacing his shoes and waistband.

These two pieces of equipment were already failing to keep up with Li Yao's progress.

Li Yao pondered to himself while opening the Purgatory dungeon first-clear treasure chest and the loot chests from several bosses.

In an instant,

the room was covered in the brilliance of equipment.

After a long while, Li Yao finally managed to open his eyes and look at the equipment laid out in front of him.

A cloak, two staves, a pair of greaves, and a skill book.

The cloak was dropped by the Goblin King; it was the [King's Cloak] Li Yao was wearing.

No need to think, just throw it in the auction.

The two staves were dropped by the Ten Elders; they were Platinum-grade equipment, one ice and one earth, suitable for magic-type professionals.

The greaves were dropped by the Ancestor; they were for the shoe slot, Dark Gold-grade equipment, an artifact for sword-type professionals.

It increased the damage of sword-type skills; if Li Yao wore it, it would be a waste of a treasure!

(Little master, there is more to this chapter, please click the next page to continue reading, it gets even more exciting!)

He would put it in the auction later, and it could serve as a highlight alongside several S-rank skills!

Finally, there was the skill book dropped from the Purgatory dungeon first-clear.

[Hand of Control (SS Active Skill): Control everything, generate a transparent hand, duration 10 seconds, cooldown 15 seconds.]

Hmm? This skill?

Looking at the description, Li Yao was a bit confused.

He didn't know whether he should learn it or not.

An SS-rank skill—no need to doubt, it was definitely very strong.

But Li Yao was afraid it wouldn't suit him, wasting a skill slot for nothing.

"Should I find a chance to ask Senior Xue later?"

Li Yao put it into his storage space; he couldn't just take an unknown SS-rank skill to the auction.

Moreover, Li Yao had a hunch:

The weirder the description, the stronger the power.

Maybe this skill would give him a surprise later!

After putting everything away, Li Yao lay down on the bed.

It was worth mentioning that,

as a Named-level monster, the Goblin Ancestor didn't drop any Cloud-Top series equipment for Li Yao.

There were sixty-something gold coins, though.

Still, the same point: there were differences even among Named-level monsters.

Li Yao closed his eyes.

Clearing dungeons non-stop these past few days, even he felt a bit exhausted.

"For the next few days, I'll just clear the Goblin Nest with peace of mind and try to reach level 25 before the Martial Exam."

Time passed very quickly.

In the blink of an eye, it was the day before the auction.

The Martial Exam was the day after tomorrow.

After unremitting efforts these past few days, Li Yao's level finally reached 24.

Qin Qin Yue had been following Li Yao, reaching level 20 halfway through, and had run off to Qinghai City for her second transition; she should have broken through by now.

Of course, Li Yao hadn't been clearing them alone for the past few days.

Shang Shang Zijin somehow found out he lacked dungeon cooldown items and had Shang Shang Yana send them to him.

Naturally, he ended up leveling up with Shang Shang Yana.

Shang Shang Yana knew very well that she was just there to leech experience, so she wouldn't make a move unless absolutely necessary. Her contribution was zero, she leeched less experience, and she even handed all the clear treasure chests to Li Yao.

The Shang family was wealthy, so Li Yao didn't stand on ceremony and took them all.

In the evening,

Shang Shang Yana and Li Yao walked out of the dungeon vortex.

"Come home with me to sleep tonight?"

Li Yao suddenly asked.

"Home?!"

Shang Shang Yana was stunned, doubting her ears.

The next second, her entire pretty face turned bright red.

"Sleep?"
