Lord Game: I Have 100 Million Talents-Chapter 64 - 59: So... So Amazing!!
The moment the group of monsters appeared, he suddenly released the bowstring. The arrow on the string shot out like a black bolt of lightning, accurately piercing the temple of the mummified figure in the lead.
WHOOSH!
Headshot!
Instant kill!
[You have killed a "Void Wandering Soul . Assaulter." Influenced by the "Bloodthirsty" Talent, your Life Value has permanently increased by one point. You have obtained 1 Dinar.]
As the system notification sounded, the arrow exploded out the back of the monster’s skull in a dark purple bloody mist. It carried on, piercing through the chest of a second Wandering Soul Striker and tearing away nearly two-thirds of its health bar.
Heh!
’Squishies!’
’Not even wearing armor!’
’You’re just asking to be one-shotted.’
While internally complaining, Qin Feng’s fingertips had already dipped into his quiver. The moment he drew an arrow, his wrist flipped abruptly. The shaft traced a bright silver arc in his palm before he nocked it with a fluid, 360-degree rotation.
His gaze fell upon a Wandering Soul Striker charging from not far away. Without even a full aiming or targeting motion, he locked onto its head completely, relying solely on the feel of the vibrating bowstring and his own instinct.
Fast! Accurate! Vicious! This was a Genius Youth!
WHOOSH!
Headshot!
Instant kill!
In just a few short seconds, Qin Feng had cleanly taken care of two of the Wandering Soul Strikers.
The remaining three Wandering Soul Strikers took advantage of this opening to charge right at Qin Feng, but they were intercepted by the five Desert Giant Wolves, which had just finished off the Wandering Soul Fighters.
The wolves raised their sharp claws and brought them down like whirling iron blades. A few cold glints flashed, and the three mummified figures were swatted into a blurry mess of flesh and gore, with no chance to even fight back.
Watching this scene, Mumu’s heart surged with excitement, as if a wildfire was raging through her veins.
’Amazing!’
’Truly amazing!’
’If Tingfeng hadn’t quickly eliminated those three Wandering Soul Fighters just now, we’d be facing a close-quarters onslaught from three Wandering Soul Fighters and three Wandering Soul Strikers all at once!’
’Even if his Desert Giant Wolves are powerful enough!’
’They could never withstand the focused fire of so many Void Creatures of the same combat level!’
’At least two of them should have died!’
’And yet!’
’Thanks to his god-like foresight and his divine Supreme Archery Skill, only a single Desert Giant Wolf was injured in the end!’
’The outcome of this battle is simply beyond imagination!’
’Moreover, his confident posture, without a shred of hesitation as he drew his bow, and the clean, sharp motion of nocking an arrow, like a blade being unsheathed—it was a feast for the eyes, down to the last detail!’
’Brilliant!’
’Absolutely brilliant!’
...
"Hey?"
"Are you alright?"
Qin Feng’s voice was like a stone tossed into a lake, startling Su Mumu and making her fingertips tremble.
She then realized she had lost her composure for a moment. She quickly lowered her head to avoid his gaze, her hair falling forward just in time to hide her ears, which were flushed red with excitement.
Then, Su Mumu replied, maintaining her usual cool tone, though her words came out a bit faster than normal:
"Mm."
"I’m fine."
"What did you just ask me?"
Qin Feng turned his head to look at the mangled corpses of the Wandering Soul Fighters.
Although their black armor was shattered and their longswords, inlaid with dark patterns, were chipped, they still gleamed with a hard, cold metallic luster. They were clearly forged from very high-grade ore.
"I was asking."
"This armor and these longswords on the Wandering Soul Fighters seem to be very high quality."
"But my ’Backpack’ can’t store them. Can I carry them on my person for now and take them out after we clear this?"
Hearing this, Su Mumu shot Qin Feng a strange glance. The warmth that had been budding in her heart vanished instantly, replaced by the profound sense of helplessness one feels when watching a total newbie make a clueless mistake.
’This guy... he really is a complete and utter rookie, isn’t he?’
She explained patiently:
"Don’t bother."
"You can’t take them with you."
"If your ’Backpack’ can’t store them, it means they are Secret Realm-exclusive items, not personal loot."
At her words, Qin Feng glanced at the armor and longswords reluctantly, his eyes filled with regret:
"Sigh..."
"Alright..."
"It just feels like such a waste..."
Silence spread through the dim Dungeon for a few seconds. Su Mumu suddenly looked up at him, the corner of her eye catching the numerous worn wooden arrows in his quiver.
"What’s wrong?"
"Is your territory short on weapons and equipment right now?"
Qin Feng shook his head:
"No."
"Not really."
"But it’s all low-level equipment of poor quality."
"The best equipment I have right now is Plate Armor smelted from Black Crystal Ore, but forging it consumes a lot of Black Crystal Stone and time, so it’s not very cost-effective."
He looked at the shattered armor of the Wandering Souls on the ground, his gaze fixed on the metallic sheen of the dark patterns on a pauldron.
"Look at the armor these Wandering Soul Fighters are wearing. Even though it’s also Blue-quality armor, its Defense Power is clearly much higher than the Black Crystal Plate Armor forged from Black Crystal Stone."
"So, I was thinking of taking it back to study, to see if I can find the same forging materials and use them to upgrade my army’s equipment level."
"Even if forging them also requires a lot of materials and time, at least their combat effectiveness would be much higher than the current Black Crystal Equipment."
Su Mumu began to explain:
"There’s no need."
"Even if this armor set were brand new and perfectly intact, it would only reach the mid-tier of Blue quality."
"Among Blue-quality defensive equipment, there are many better superior alternatives."
"As for Purple-quality or higher defensive equipment, their base stats alone would completely crush this, not to mention they also have additional equipment effects..."
After a pause, Su Mumu continued:
"If you want high-level equipment, you should pledge allegiance to a Native Creature from a sufficiently strong nation as soon as possible. Complete the various tasks they give you, and you’ll receive corresponding quest rewards."
"After that, once you’ve earned enough reputation, he will naturally introduce you to some of the higher-ups in his faction."
"Then you can help those higher-ups with a few things, complete the faction quests they issue, and you’ll get even better rewards."
"For example, the Holy Purple Gold Flower Heavy Armor worn by the Heavy Armor Guards under my cousin’s and my command was a quest reward from an imperial Duke."
"Because the high-level veins that produce this Purple Gold Flower Stone are all under the strict control of the Great Nobles, we Lord Players have no rights to mine them ourselves."
"This Gold-quality Holy Purple Gold Flower Heavy Armor is basically a limited-edition, out-of-production piece of equipment. Once a set is used up, it’s gone for good, with no way to replenish it."
Suddenly, Qin Feng looked up and said something astonishing:
"Can’t you get them as drops from killing monsters?"
Su Mumu: "???"
She was stunned for a full two seconds, then the corner of her mouth twitched into a faint, unreadable smile:
"You can."
"For Purple-quality equipment, the drop rate is less than 0.5%. For Gold-quality equipment, it’s less than 0.05%. And you have to kill soldiers at or above the corresponding color’s combat level."
"As long as you aren’t afraid of offending some Powerful Native Powers, have enough troops to throw into the meat grinder, and have a whole warehouse full of top-tier Healing potions..."
"You can absolutely build your foundation by ’farming monsters for gear’."
Hearing this, Qin Feng stroked his chin, lost in thought for a long while. Then he looked up and asked:
"Then can I trade with the Native Powers? Buy their Purple and Gold-quality equipment?"
A flash of approval appeared in Su Mumu’s eyes, as if to say, ’You finally asked a worthwhile question.’
She hooked a strand of hair with her fingertip, and a thin chain on her wrist glinted with a silver light as she moved. As she tucked the falling hair behind her ear, her face—a blend of cool aloofness and charming allure—became clearer beneath her butterfly-wing-like eyelashes.
"You can."
"But you have to offer a corresponding price that matches the value of such top-tier equipment."
"Besides, that’s no different from doing quests."
"You’d be better off just pledging allegiance to their faction directly. Not only would you be able to trade normally with the merchants in their territory, but you could also use your unique faction reputation and noble connections to get their internal discount prices."
"Alternatively, if you don’t want to deal with Native Powers for the time being, you could always trade with other Lord Players first."
"For example... me."
