Chapter 74: Rift Crocodile Coat

【You choose to reinforce the equipment 【Hunter Coat (White)】】

【The owner of the Blacksmith Shop takes out three materials of green quality from inside the room; please choose one of them to reinforce your equipment!】

【1: Rift Crocodile Skin (Green) 【A crocodile living in the Orc Federation's Great Swamp region; it has thick skin and flesh, with extremely strong waterproofing and impact resistance.】】

【2: Shadow-lurking Spider Silk (Green) 【A predator of the Dixia Shijie, a giant spider hiding in dark corners; the silk it spits has extremely strong ductility, suitable for intense movements, though it is rather afraid of fire.】】

【3: Volt Sheep Wool (Green) 【A specialty of Ruiswaer, a special goat raised in the vast desert; its horns can release Thunder, and its wool can store energy. It feels soft and is very warm.】】

【4: Provide your own materials. (The Blacksmith Shop owner will refund you 50% of the Gold Coin cost) 【You do not have materials that can be used to reinforce equipment!】】

"Crocodile skin, spider silk, and sheep wool?" Yun Mu raised an eyebrow.

It seems that starting from green quality, all equipment and items will, to a greater or lesser extent, carry some elements related to Supernatural power.

And below green quality, white and gray items seem to fall into the category of ordinary items.

So, is that why materials related to Supernatural power are needed to upgrade from white quality to green quality?

The effects of these three materials must be different; otherwise, there would be no reason for the system to let her choose.

Then which one should she choose?

The crocodile skin seems like the best choice; after all, just looking at the description, one knows this thing must be very Heavy-duty.

And the Shadow-lurking Spider silk... analyzing based on the description, it probably belongs to more flexible equipment, perhaps increasing attributes like Dodge?

Volt Sheep... honestly, she doesn't quite understand. The horns can release Thunder, but she can only choose the wool here. It says it can store energy, so isn't that just storing electricity?

Wait, electricity?

A scene suddenly appeared in Yun Mu's mind.

In the scene she imagined, she was wrapped from head to toe in a layer of thick wool, and when an enemy's hand or weapon touched the wool on her body, they were instantly shocked into full-body convulsions, and excrement and urine... let's forget about that part.

"Lucy, do you know about the Rift Crocodile, Shadow-lurking Spider, and Volt Sheep?"

With the thought of giving it a try, Yun Mu asked Lucy, who was beside her.

"I know," Lucy replied with a calm expression.

"You don't know, do you?"

Yun Mu looked at the other person with a surprised expression.

"I said, I know." Lucy crossed her arms over her chest, closed one eye slightly, and said: "The Rift Crocodile is named for its preference for crushing the skulls of animals. Adult individuals are generally about 3-5 meters long. They live in the Great Swamp region in the south of the Orc Federation. They are lazy by nature and rarely forage actively, choosing to hide in the mud and swamp to Wait for prey to pass by most of the time."

"The Shadow-lurking Spider is a nimble Shadow hunter that likes to build nests in Damp and dark environments. Unlike most spiders that can produce a large number of offspring at once, the Shadow-lurking Spider rarely conceives, and even if it does, it only gives birth to five to eight juveniles at a time."

"The Volt Sheep is one of the main specialties exported by Ruiswaer, a country of vast deserts and sand seas on the southeast side of the continent. They are active by nature, like to run, and have extremely strong jumping ability. When moving, they can accumulate electrical energy in the wool on their body surface. When encountering enemies or natural predators, they can use the horns on their heads to release the electrical energy stored in the wool. The meat is delicious and tastes especially good when roasted."

"Wipe your drool," Yun Mu interrupted as she watched the incessantly talking Lucy.

"Hm?"

Hearing Yun Mu's words, Lucy hurriedly wiped the corner of her mouth with the back of her hand, only to find she had wiped nothing, and realized she had been tricked.

"I, I haven't eaten proper food for a long time, it's understandable to be greedy occasionally!" Lucy's face flushed slightly as she defended herself in a somewhat flustered manner.

"Then after this, I'll take you to eat something delicious," Yun Mu said, looking at her appearance, feeling both amused and a little heartbroken.

She didn't know if she could bring Lucy to the real world.

If she could, she would definitely take her to stroll around Frostfall City or taste the food made by Uncle Edward...

If she couldn't, she would think of other ways to fulfill this promise; in any case, she would not break her word!

"So, if you had to choose one from the Rift Crocodile skin, the Shadow-lurking Spider silk, and the Volt Sheep wool to make armor, what would you choose, Lucy?"

"Spider silk, I suppose." Lucy pressed her index finger lightly against her chin and said: "The Shadow-lurking Spider silk has relatively high resistance to Magic, and can block part of the damage when facing pure energy attacks."

"However, this is just my choice. The Rift Crocodile skin has a huge advantage when facing physical strikes, and many novice Warrior types like it very much."

"As for the Volt Sheep wool, I would definitely not choose it! Although the energy conduction efficiency is very good, the warmth is very strong, and it is very comfortable to wear, but, but..."

Lucy suddenly became a bit coy. She opened her mouth and spat out a few words with great difficulty: "Electric... prohibition..."

"Alright, don't say any more." Yun Mu immediately covered her face.

She hated that she understood instantly.

【You have chosen 【Rift Crocodile Skin (Green)】】

【Hunter Coat (White) —— Rift Crocodile Coat (Green)】

【Defense +9 / Dodge +2 / Toughness +1】

【Enemy Critical Damage -4%】

【Passive Skill · Ambush】

【Backstab · Touxixi · Stealth Damage +20%, Critical Hit Rate +3%】

【A sturdy and durable coat that provides both warmth and protection; even the finest musket bullets cannot break through its defense.】

The Dwarf blacksmith who only lives in the Game Panel reinforced her clothes.

A pale green light descended from the sky, enveloping Yun Mu, and the appearance of the 【Hunter Coat】 changed drastically.

The originally somewhat thin coat was given a bit more thickness; the interior seemed to be filled with more ordinary wool for shock absorption and warmth, and the leather was replaced with the tougher Rift Crocodile skin, which had a delicate texture when touched.

The hem of the coat became heavier, but the width was designed just right, so it would not affect her movement.

Most importantly!

Yun Mu reached out and touched the inner pockets of the coat, feeling the warm and comfortable environment inside, as well as the significantly expanded size.

"Good, good, good, now I can carry more things," she thought very happily.

Because she was carrying more and more things on her body, the inner pockets of the previous Hunter Coat were almost full.

Now, after some expansion, the space had more than doubled!

She had already started imagining the situation of filling the inner lining with a pile of Chestnut Bombs, and throwing them while running whenever she encountered enemies in the future.

PS: Uh, uh, uh, the main text has already said all the settings I wanted to say.

Demented, drooling, aba aba aba.

Come to think of it, I want to change the synopsis; I'll think about it over the next two days.

If you have any ideas, feel free to post them in the comment section, and I will use them for reference.
