Chapter 36

Let’s start with the title.

[Dragon Conqueror: Conquer the dragon and your fame will spread across the continent! ]

[Dragon Slayer: You who dealt the final blow to the dragon are renowned for your might!]

Xia Mo: ...

She never expected that these two titles, which were so difficult to obtain, would not bring any bonus in the end!

Xia Mo looked at it for a long time and couldn't help but sigh.

Although there is no substantial bonus, judging from the description, she should be able to gain some praise and recognition from some NPCs. That's okay, it's better than nothing.

In the end, I put the title on my head and chose to hide it.

Then it was her turn to collect the thirty or so pieces of equipment she had picked up.

Because no one competed with her for the items, or rather, everyone consciously made way for her, so that she could pick up the equipment very smoothly.

Xia Mo glanced around and found five pieces of usable equipment, all of which were of decent quality. Two of them were actually gold-grade! They were far superior to the equipment she was currently wearing, acquired from the mutated stone beast.

She couldn't help but feel excited. If she hesitated for even a second, it would be disrespectful to the dragon's gift.

So he quickly took off his Stone Beast suit and prepared to change into new equipment.

Name: Dragon Clothes

Quality: First-level gold

Durability: 300

General Attributes: Health +120, Magic +110, Spell Defense +45, Physical Defense +55, Balance +35

I didn't look at the attributes carefully before, I just glanced at the quality of the equipment. At this time, Xia Mo stared at the armor in his hand, and was so excited that he almost jumped up on the spot.

Even though she had seen epic-level equipment in her past life, that was in the mid-to-late game. How long had the server been open? And what level was she already? How could she not be excited to suddenly obtain armor with such high stats?

It is no exaggeration to say that with this dragon armor, if other players want to beat her in the future, they will have to send at least 10 people to deal with her, otherwise they will not be able to break her defense and will eventually become cannon fodder under her weapons.

She happily changed into her clothes, and then it was her turn to put on the belt.

Name: Dragon Belt

Quality: First-level gold

Durability: 300

General attributes: Health +90, Magic +90, Intelligence +50, Spell Defense +45, Physical Defense +45

Special attributes: None

There are still no special attributes, and the added value of Qi, Blood and Magic in the regular attributes is not as high as that of armor.

This is understandable. After all, armor is the core equipment for controlling Qi and blood, and the belt is just the icing on the cake.

Besides, this belt had a bonus that amazed Xia Mo - intelligence, which increased by a full 50 points! Converted into a formula, it was basically equivalent to adding an additional 15% to her original spell attack.

Quite high output! It can definitely allow her to firmly establish herself as the world's number one.

He buckled his belt with satisfaction, then put on his shoulder guards.

When taking off the original shoulder pads, Xia Mo hesitated for a moment, not for any other reason, but because the original [Life Shoulder Pads] came with a passive skill called [Demon Resurrection], which could bring him back to life at certain times.

In the equipment settings of "Protoss", these special attributes can be disassembled separately and installed on new equipment. In theory, Xia Mo can disassemble the [Demon Resurrection] and put it back in the new [Dragon Shoulder Guards].

It's a pity that she doesn't have this ability at the moment.

Disassembling and assembling special properties is one of the must-learn skills for blacksmiths. However, since the game is still in its early stages, the major blacksmith NPCs have not yet unlocked this skill.

So apart from silently hoping that the NPCs would launch this skill as soon as possible, Xia Mo could only watch helplessly.

With another sigh, Xia Mo thought about it and decided to replace the life shoulder guard.

The special attribute is indeed good, but the resurrection chance is only 15%. Xia Mo does not consider himself a poor person, but he also knows that he is definitely not as lucky as the European Emperor.

With a 15% resurrection rate, based on her understanding of herself, it should not be triggered in most cases.

So she doesn't need to rush to re-equip for the time being, and should still prioritize attribute enhancement.

Name: Dragon Shoulders

Quality: Level 3 Silver

Durability: 300

General attributes: Health +41, Magic +38, Intelligence +23, Balance +20 (+10)

Special attributes: None

This shoulder pad has one less regular attribute than normal. Normally there are 5, but it only has 4. Generally, this means that one of the attributes of the equipment has mutated.

The mutated attribute values ​​are higher, so item 5 is deleted.

For example, the shoulder pads in front of us have a balance of only 20 originally, but it is followed by a +10. This is called attribute bar mutation.

To be honest, Xia Mo thought it was pretty good. Her defense was already quite high, so adding more would not have much effect.

This is like marginal benefit. When a person is hungry and eats the first steamed bun, he will feel particularly satisfied. He will still feel happy when he eats the second one. However, when he eats the third, fourth, fifth..., his sense of satisfaction has reached saturation, and eating steamed buns at this time will no longer bring happiness.

The same goes for her defense.

So instead of continuing to stack defense, she now prefers to increase magic attack and critical hit chance.

And [Balance] is the attribute bar that increases critical strike.

Xia Mo replaced it without hesitation.

There are two pieces left, namely [Dragon Pants] and [Dragon Boots]. The quality is slightly lower than the previous ones, which are second-level silver, but they are much stronger than the original black iron equipment. Xia Mo quickly put them on.

At this point, all her muskets were replaced with cannons, and her overall attributes increased dramatically again. Her combat power also increased from the original 510 to 605, almost approaching 100!

This is the importance of having a good set of equipment, which can directly widen the gap between you and the vast majority of players.

Therefore, Xia Mo became more convinced that she had made the right choice in choosing the path of a blacksmith. Although many forging courses were not yet available and this profession seemed a bit useless in the early stages, as long as she was willing to pursue further studies, she would definitely have a place in the equipment industry in the future.

Now let’s talk about equipment. As mentioned before, if the player wears ≥3, ≥6, or ≥9 pieces of equipment, they will get additional attribute bonuses respectively.

The Stone Beast's suit was removed, and the two blessings she had previously obtained, [Health +2%] and [Attack and Defense +2%], became invalid at the same time, but because she replaced it with 5 pieces of dragon gear, she received a new blessing.

[Wearing ≥ 3 pieces of Tower Saint Dragon equipment, receiving the blessing of the World Boss Dragon: Attack and Defense +7%]

7%!

Xia Mo's eyes widened, with surprise and excitement flashing in them.

As expected of the World Boss, even his blessings are so powerful!

She was a little sad that the two blessings from the Stone Beast were taken away, but now that she saw the Dragon's blessing, she was no longer sad, but was actually very happy.

Apart from the five pieces of equipment she replaced, the remaining equipment was either not suitable for her profession or of slightly lower quality, and was not favored by Xia Mo. Xia Mo sorted out her backpack and planned to sell these things and the equipment she had snatched from Kuang Dao during the PK for money when she had time today.

Although she has become a wealthy woman now, who would complain about having too little money?

What's more, the game currency exchange channel will be opened in two weeks. There are many places in reality where money is needed, and she will certainly not give up any opportunity to make money.

After packing his backpack, Xia Mo looked at the neatly arranged grids with satisfaction. His gaze moved all the way down, but the next moment, it suddenly stopped at the last grid.

What's this?

Xia Mo frowned suspiciously. She didn't remember picking up such a dusty box before.

Click it to enlarge it, and the lid of the box will automatically open. A necklace as inconspicuous as the box lies inside, with a skull-shaped pendant embedded in the middle of the necklace. Because the picture is deliberately blurred, the details are not very clear.

[An unknown necklace (dropped from the Tower Saint Dragon)]

Xia Mo continued to click, but found that he could not see any information about the necklace.

[Current attribute cannot be checked]

Equipment or accessory attributes cannot be checked. Generally speaking, there are the following situations:

First, the item status is unauthenticated, and players need to find a professional appraiser to authenticate it before its properties will be displayed.

This situation is the easiest to solve. She can go directly to Luwalu County to inquire and find the appraiser NPC for help.

The second type is that the item itself comes with a special task. Players must find the corresponding NPC to accept the task and can only see it after completing it.

This is very difficult to deal with. You know, there are tens of thousands of NPCs in the continent of Pergas, and they are spread across every corner. Who knows which NPC this item is related to?

Xia Mo had never picked up such items in her previous life, but she had seen quite a few in the trading company.

The counters that specialize in selling special products are filled with strange and bizarre things, many of which have untraceable attributes, from fishing rods to toolboxes, to accessories to weapons... It is obvious that the original players couldn't find the NPC, or were too lazy to look for them, so they simply put them on the market and sold them at a low price to get some pocket money.

It’s a pity that they can’t find it, and it’s equally difficult for other players to find it.

At the beginning, some people, out of a desire to win, bought several accessories with uncheckable attributes and declared to the world that they would definitely crack them.

However, after trying N times, the player found that there was no clue at all. He was so angry that he threw the accessories into the wild and let them turn into a pile of scrap metal.

It can be seen from this that in order to unlock this gray and nameless item, one must have the right time, place, and people.

Xia Mo thought about it and decided to take the necklace for appraisal. If it was not a problem with the appraisal, but it came with a special task, then she would just give up.

This kind of thing is beyond her control and requires a good look. Xia Mo is afraid that even if she washes her face until it is bald, she still won't be able to find any clues.

Putting the necklace back and closing the box, Xia Mo pretended that he had seen nothing today.

After having a luxurious breakfast at the hotel and replenishing his hunger bar, Xia Mo decided to return to the town of Buluo and complete the professional task assigned by Quinn - sparring.

By the way, you also need to learn a new life skill [cooking]!

The little beast sympathized with her for not having learned how to cook, and ate all the raw meat that he disliked. As an old mother, how could she give up so easily just because she had blown up a few kitchens and lost a mere 100 gold in her previous life?

Xia Mo did what he said and rode his little black horse back to the town at lightning speed.

She was not a cook before, and they had no connection in this life. Xia Mo really couldn't remember where the NPC in charge of cooking was. After thinking about it, she opened the friend list, saw Fenghuo Online, and asked directly.

[Mo Se: Do you know where the chef in Buluo Town is? ]

[Beacon Fire Xi Zhuhou: Huh?]

[Mo Se: Don't know? I'll go to the town channel and ask.]

[Fenghuo Xi Zhuhou: Oh no!!! Boss, don't ask! ]

Xia Mo frowned: [What's wrong?] Can't she ask someone else?

[Fenghuo Xi Zhuhou: ...Nothing, it's just...there's no cook in Buluo Town...Boss, don't you know?]

Xia Mo: ??? No?

How come she doesn't remember it at all?

Perhaps because she hadn't replied for a while, Fenghuo slowly typed on the virtual keyboard while formulating his words: [Emm, actually, I didn't know at first, but a few days ago, a player in the town complained about wanting to learn cooking skills, but found out there were no cooks in the town. This has been criticized for a long time. I thought you knew about it, sir.]

Xia Mo :)

Sorry, she really doesn't know.

After a few seconds of embarrassment, Xia Mo took a deep breath and decided that she couldn't just turn a deaf ear to what was happening outside in the future. Although she was reborn and knew inside stories that many people didn't know, it didn't mean that she was omnipotent.

Especially since the settings of "Protoss" are so complicated and it is impossible for her to grasp the whole picture. For example, this time, she didn't even know that there was no chef in the town of Buluo!

Although this was just an insignificant matter and had no impact on her at the moment, Xia Mo felt that details often determined success or failure. If she did not pay attention to the details at the moment, she would suffer a great loss sooner or later.

After learning from his mistakes, Xia Mo replied to Fenghuo: [Okay, thank you. I will pay more attention to the channel chat in the future.]

She is still not perfect after her rebirth, but from now on, she will work hard to get closer to perfection.

Putting cooking lessons aside for the time being, Xia Mo went to the mayor's house and asked him to issue a competition announcement for her.

The mayor looked at her, his smile more enthusiastic than ever. "Long time no see, young man. It seems you've gained a lot from your adventures this time!"

Xia Mo was stunned at first, then realized that it was because of her two titles of [Dragon Conqueror] and [Dragon Slayer], as well as her 900 points of world reputation, that the mayor's attitude towards her was directly improved.

How should I put it, although the two titles did not increase her combat power, they increased her happiness.

Xia Mo smiled politely and responded to the mayor skillfully.

The mayor nodded with satisfaction, turned around and issued a task for her.

A town announcement popped up, inviting all players in Buluo Town to compete.

[Player "Mo Se" invites the warriors of Buluo Town to compete. Interested parties please visit Fountain Square to sign up.]

[Player "Mo Se" invites the warriors of Buluo Town to compete. Interested parties please visit Fountain Square to sign up.]

…

Three messages in a row were enough to let the players in the small town see her message.

However, Xia Mo stood in the fountain square for a long time, but no player came forward to sign up.
