Chapter 155: Monkey Wine

Epic?

Even this terribly weak Monkey King, even after darkening, is only an elite‑grade Monkey King that drops an Epic?

Everyone watching that orange light felt their hearts race.

The power of Epic equipment is evident from the Dragon Scale Shield in Su Sheng's hand.

Although Su Sheng's Lion Knight profession is strong in itself, the Dragon Scale Shield has been used since level 10, and it has been indispensable throughout Su Sheng's journey.

But what Su Sheng paid more attention to wasn't that orange light.

He raised his arm, glanced at the mysterious ring on his finger, then looked at the Monkey King's pile of loot.

He guessed there would be something he could use.

At first, when the Monkey King appeared, Su Sheng didn't notice anything unusual.

However, after the Monkey King darkened.

Su Sheng felt it—the mysterious ring on his hand warmed slightly.

But at that moment Li Wenwan had already attacked, and Su Sheng didn't think further.

"Kong Lang, what do you think?"

Su Sheng walked toward the loot and asked at the same time.

"It's plentiful; we should be able to reach level 30 together with the beautiful Wenwan."

Chen Guan looked at his own experience points and said with a smile.

When the BOSS was about to die, Su Sheng and Chen Guan formed a party, and the party leader took fifty percent of the experience.

So Chen Guan ate a huge chunk of experience.

Now Chen Guan's experience has caught up with Li Wenwan's, even surpassing her by a little.

Tomorrow, both of them should have no problem reaching level 30 together.

If all goes well, tomorrow they can go down to the level‑30 Luansanggang Dungeon.

Su Sheng approached the loot, and under everyone's gaze, he picked up all the items.

Su Sheng knew what everyone was most interested in, so he first inspected the orange drop.

But Su Sheng shook his head regretfully; it wasn't equipment.

Recipe: Monkey Wine (Orange).

Description: records the secret formula for making Monkey Wine.

Crafting requirement: Advanced Chef.

Materials: omitted…

Monkey Wine (Orange).

Effect: Spirit +1000.

Duration: 10 minutes.

"What a pity, not equipment."

Everyone felt a bit regretful.

But Huang Mingxin stared at the recipe with blazing eyes.

Li Wenwan and Murong Peipei were also quite interested.

A thousand Spirit is a core attribute extremely useful for both Priests and Mages.

However, it requires an Advanced Chef.

Su Sheng's secondary profession is Chef, but he hasn't specifically leveled up; he's still an ordinary Chef,

and he has just graduated from Apprentice Chef, still an ordinary Chef.

To jump to the next tier, Intermediate Chef, he would need a huge amount of materials.

Let alone the Advanced Chef beyond Intermediate Chef.

Although it isn't equipment and has restrictions, that doesn't diminish its value.

Ten minutes, a thousand Spirit attribute.

The boost for Magic Class professions is insanely strong.

Looking at the materials, the requirements aren't simple, destined to prevent mass production.

However, Su Sheng is preparing to found a guild.

Its strategic value is even more exaggerated.

Imagine the Mage Guild and the Priest Guild, each drinking a bottle of Monkey Wine before the battle.

That scene would be unbelievably beautiful.

There's also a purple piece of equipment.

A level‑35 Leather Armor hood, win or lose it's still pretty good.

Leather Armor…

The competition becomes fierce; let them choose for themselves.

Su Sheng paid more attention to another item.

Mysterious Component (Blue).

Component: 04.

Description: None.

A piece of blue equipment.

But Su Sheng was even more excited than when he saw Epic equipment.

He indeed didn't guess wrong; it's Component No. 04.

The remaining equipment was also average, so Su Sheng just tossed it all to Huan Jie.

Su Sheng chose to combine component 04.

Mysterious Ring (4/49) (purple)

Magic Defense: 70

Bonus: Component

Bonus: HP +600

Bonus: Strength +20

Level: 30

Description: omitted

After reaching combination 04, this ring finally upgraded to purple, its Magic Defense rose to 70, and it gained an extra Strength attribute.

HP also increased by 200, and for Su Sheng, that extra two hundred HP is the real improvement.

But collecting a component moves the ring's combination a step further.

It's already at purple at 04, with 45 combination chances left.

Only heaven knows where this ring's cap lies.

Su Sheng even imagined continuing to upgrade it until the ring reached Seven-Color Artifact status.

Above Red Legend lies the Colorful Divine Artifact.

However, Divine Artifacts come in three, six, and nine grades; the lowest is the Three-colored Divine Artifact, and each added hue raises the attributes higher, with the highest being the Seven-Color stage.

Looking at the ring, Su Sheng thought of the members of Dream Building Squad; this ring was given to him by Zhu Meng Junjie.

He could consider helping Dream Building Squad later.

"Alright, the BOSS is done, everyone keep leveling up."

After dividing the loot, they resumed the steady monster‑hunting rhythm.

The surrounding forest, under the system refresh, slowly recovered, showing no sign of the Monkey King's earlier destruction.

The remaining game time was about to end.

The Dungeon itself left only half the allotted game time.

Su Sheng's experience gain was very limited.

After all, at level 33, killing a level‑35 monster is only a two‑level jump, so the experience isn't much.

Li Wenwan and Chen Guan were close to level 30; after a couple of hours tomorrow, they should both reach level 30.

Tomorrow's mission is the Dungeon of the scroll.

In a short time, the other pending troubles will be solved.

Next step: rush to level 40.

But right now, these level‑35 monsters are clearly unsuitable for Su Sheng's leveling.

He needs to find a place to train.

…

Breakfast was a bit late today; Mom probably got carried away playing and didn't log off early to make breakfast.

After Lin Huan returned, he greeted and went back to his room.

While waiting for breakfast, Su Sheng browsed the game forum on his dad's laptop.

He tried to find some relevant information, hoping to locate a suitable training spot.

But he found nothing useful.

After thinking it over, Su Sheng went to Huan Jie's bedroom door.

"Huan Jie."

Su Sheng called softly as he knocked.

"Wait…"

Lin Huan's voice came from inside.

Click~

The bedroom door opened.

A fragrant breeze wafted in.

Lin Huan stood with one hand opening the door, the other holding a towel wiping his hair; he was wrapped in a bathrobe, his wet hair draped over his snow‑white shoulders.

An extreme black‑and‑white contrast.

Clearly, Lin Huan had just finished showering.

Normally, Lin Huan would eat breakfast before returning to shower and rest.

But today Mom logged off late, so Lin Huan decided to shower first.

"What's up, A‑Sheng?"

After opening the door, Lin Huan turned back to fetch the fan on the desk, showing no guard at all toward Su Sheng.

Gurgle~

Su Sheng's Adam's apple moved silently.

The beauty emerging from the bath, with vast swaths of snow‑white, involuntarily caught Su Sheng's gaze.

Though she's his sister, she isn't his biological sister.

"Ahem… I have something and want Huan Jie's help."

Su Sheng took a deep breath and didn't enter Huan Jie's room immediately.
