Chapter 453: Changing Gear

Logged in.

Su Sheng immediately checked his mission trial.

He wondered what skill would be granted at level fifty.

Mission prompt: Profession Skill Trial.

"Lion's Brawl".

Mission requirement: Unharmed solo kill of 1,000 monsters whose level is not lower than his own.

Su Sheng raised an eyebrow.

He's familiar with this; it seems similar to the task when he used the Lion Roar skill, but back then the required number was only one hundred.

One thousand!

That means more time and effort.

At present, these level‑55 wild monsters also fit the mission target.

However, to kill them unharmed he would have to dismount; although these ordinary monsters barely hurt him, being hit at all would break the 'unharmed' condition.

Thus he must dismount; in Mounted Combat his lateral movement isn't very agile… In Mounted State Su Sheng isn't confident he can achieve a 100% unharmed monster grind.

He can only dismount.

One thousand monsters, unharmed, requires caution; he's roughly one small monster per minute.

Even with flawless play, solo unharmed grinding would take 16–17 hours, while a game day only provides twelve hours.

Two days…

Su Sheng felt a bit depressed.

At that moment, a Private Chat message arrived.

Su Sheng knew it must be someone from Universe; either Shen Wang or Shen Xiao.

He opened the Private Chat… as expected.

Shen Xiao: "Is Chairman Mo Wen free? My younger sister should have told you, right."

"She did mention it, but I'm just curious which Dungeon you all in Universe keep failing?"

Su Sheng was indeed very curious.

"Uhh… the Dungeon difficulty is a bit high."

"There should be three bosses in total; we cleared the first two, but the third is a level‑60 pseudo‑commander boss and we crashed."

"The Dungeon limits to five players, which is tough; damage output is insufficient, T‑resistance is hard, and the Priest can't keep up with healing…"

Shen Xiao was also helpless; Universe is indeed strong, but with the player limit this Dungeon remains quite demanding.

"Five million!"

"Chairman Mo Wen, just help me clear this Dungeon and the reward is five million!" Shen Xiao quoted directly.

Su Sheng raised an eyebrow; this task seemed sizable, with a straight price of five million.

"Sure, but I have another condition: add a Divine Craftsman Stone! Whether you pass or not, if you pass it's five million plus the Divine Craftsman Stone, but I don't want the five million, just the Divine Craftsman Stone."

"No problem!" Shen Xiao agreed without hesitation; after all, the five million is already given, so losing a Divine Craftsman Stone doesn't matter.

Currently the market price for a Divine Craftsman Stone tops out at 10,000–50,000, just because it's rare.

"Alright, I'll go back, change gear, and then head to Qinglong City," Su Sheng replied.

Going out to run a Dungeon with a five‑million reward like this beautiful job, Su Sheng wouldn't refuse.

Moreover, because of Li Wenwan's involvement, Su Sheng would also help; Universe doesn't owe many favors.

Also, Yanhuang and Universe currently have almost no interaction; even if Universe gets a bit stronger, it won't affect Yanhuang much.

"Hmm, changing gear?" Shen Xiao was startled.

"Whoa, you're already level fifty and you can fly!" Shen Xiao only then realized Su Sheng had reached fifty; yesterday Su Sheng had almost leveled up by checkpoint before logging off, so apart from those who check the Level Ranking List the moment they log in, no one else had noticed Su Sheng was already level fifty.

"Hehe, lucky!"

Su Sheng laughed heartily.

"Alright, after you reach fifty and equip new gear, your chances in this Dungeon will be even better," Shen Xiao calmed down.

So Su Sheng immediately crafted a Return City Scroll.

As for the skill trial, it can only wait until tomorrow.

Back in Zhuque City, Su Sheng took out the two pieces of gear he had prepared long ago.

Among them, the Tree Spirit's Heart had already been set with a Heavenly Craft Stone; he equipped it directly, swapping out the Sharp‑Tooth Pendant.

Then, with the Magic‑Pattern Ring, he found the blacksmith and embedded the Divine Craftsman Stone.

Thus, this level‑60 epic ring could now be equipped by Su Sheng at level fifty.

After equipping it the same way, he swapped out the Corrupt Ring.

The Corrupt Ring's corruption passive is still quite good; he could keep it for someone who needs it. The accessory itself is hard to drop, and honestly the Corrupt Ring isn't bad at all.

With that, Su Sheng directly replaced two accessories.

At this point…

Su Sheng now has no equipment or accessories below purple rarity.

Later, Su Sheng browsed the guild warehouse… and some of his own stock.

Got…

Armor, nothing left to swap.

In fact, Su Sheng's gear is already carefully selected, premium pieces suited to him.

Now in the guild warehouse, although there are some level‑50 to 55 purple armor pieces, their secondary attributes are mismatched, e. g., leaning toward Strength.

Either that, or the stats are still not as good as the purple equipment Su Sheng has that is a bit lower level.

Just like this…

Afterward, Su Sheng took a look at his own stats.

I have to say, swapping these two accessories made the stats jump straight up.

Attack and defense reached: 3657/3257.

HP reached: 31720/30320

Even agility increased a bit, reaching 401.

The Magic Pattern Ring added 180 agility.

Among them, the Magic Pattern Skill is totally awesome.

Attack stacks Magic Pattern; after ten layers of Magic Pattern, you can block one hit, which is equivalent to being invincible once.

The built-in cooldown is one minute, which can be understood as long as you're in combat state…

Invincible once per minute.

Tsk tsk…

It's absolutely insane.

Afterward, Su Sheng also looked at Heavenly Cluster Cloud…

Heavenly Cluster Cloud… wait a moment, for now Su Sheng still feels Heavenly Cluster Cloud doesn't measure up to Divine Thunder Magic Light.

"Wanwan Sis, have you set off?" Then Su Sheng opened private chat.

"Yeah, I'm already in Qinglong City. Let's form a team first; I'll send you the coordinates, and you come straight over."

Li Wenwan replied.

Su Sheng didn't hesitate either, went to resupply a bit, tidied up loose ends, then headed straight to the teleport array and arrived at Qing Long Main City.

The team has five members…

Mo Wen Qianchen, Lion Knight

Late Falling Cherry, Phoenix Blood Mage

Shen Xiao, Trap Formation Warrior

Huan Yu Nuwa, Holy Light Priest.

Huan Yu Houyi, Ranger.

No tank position; undoubtedly the tank should be Su Sheng, with Shen Xiao as vice-tank.

The two damage dealers are Li Wenwan and Houyi, one magic and one physical.

Furthermore, Su Sheng and Shen Xiao's Trap Formation Warrior are both entities that can both resist and attack.

As for Huan Yu Nuwa, Su Sheng believes her healing output absolutely matches Huang Mingxin, and may even exceed it.

At least the Huan Yu name is placed there.

Coordinates…

It's a bit far; if I go myself, it'll probably take an hour, seeing teammates marking Li Wenwan also on the way.

Shen Xiao and the Huan Yu people are already waiting at the coordinate point.

After Su Sheng arrived at Qinglong City, he checked the corresponding coordinates.

But what else can be done? Since we've already agreed.

Let's set off…

Su Sheng mounted his horse, didn't hide his whereabouts, and directly swaggered out from the main road of Qinglong City…
