Chapter 18: The Heart of Ice
"Ding...... If you kill a teammate, you will receive a red name penalty: +30% equipment drop, +50% gold drop, and +1 level drop after death. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info duration 3 hours"
As the system prompt fell, a huge red light fell from the void, submerging Ren Xiaoyao entirely.
Ren Xiaoyao only felt that his surroundings were blood-red, and a cold and piercing aura came from his body, which lasted for five seconds before disappearing, and the surface of his body was covered with a thin layer of red light flowing around him like flowing water.
"This ......" Ren Xiaoyao looked at his glowing red hand, the red name punishment is certainly not unfamiliar to an old networm like him, simply put, it is a state that will appear after doing something more out of line in the game, and once the player in the red name state is killed by other players, the drop of equipment, money and level is not to mention for the time being, killing the red name player can also gain the prestige of the corresponding region and will not be punished in any way.
But I know that Ren Xiaoyao has been playing online games for so many years, and it is the first time that he has fallen into a red state, but fortunately, this state only lasts for three hours, presumably because his teammates are just a wild monster, if a player like him is killed, then it is not strange that this state lasts for three days.
"Well, it looks like we can only wait three hours before returning to the novice village." Ren Xiao muttered, and then put this matter behind him, and looked at the corpses of the Salamander King and the Spider King with fiery eyes.
"Equip your equipment!!" Ren Xiaoyao, who was immersed in the fantasy of excellent equipment, had already chosen to ignore the matter of his red name, and excitedly opened the body of the Spider King.
The huge corpse was turned over by Ren Xiaoyao with one hand, which is also an improvement of the game, and the corpse of the monster will become extremely light after death, avoiding the embarrassment of the equipment being pressed under the corpse and unable to take it out.
As the corpse moved away, a necklace of six ice beads connected end to end emitted a slight cold light in front of Ren Xiaoyao's eyes.
"Jewelry ???" After seeing the equipment that the Spider King exploded, Ren Xiaoyao couldn't help but exclaim, no matter in that online game, jewelry is more cherished than the equipment of body parts, not only because of the attribute value attached to it, but also because some rare jewelry can be attached with some powerful skills and special effects. Therefore, the price of jewelry of the same quality is several times or even more than ten times that of armor.
[Heart of Ice]: Quality: Excellent, Equipment Requirements: Level 5, Attributes: Water Attribute Enhancement +10, Additional Weapon Water Attribute Damage, 2 Chance When Attacking, Freeze the Enemy for 5 seconds.
"Well-equipped!? It can also attach weapon water attacks! ”
Attribute enhancement this thing Ren Xiaoyao has heard the village chief say as early as in the novice village, according to what the village chief said, 20 points of attribute enhancement can enhance the damage of the corresponding attribute attack by 10%, 10 points of attribute enhancement is a 5% damage increase, and, this jewelry can also attach weapon attribute attacks!!
This means that every normal attack of Ren Xiaoyao can have a 5% damage bonus! This is not only a fine-grade jewelry, its effect is even higher than some rare equipment, and it is a well-deserved artifact in the novice village!
After seeing the attributes of this necklace clearly, Ren Xiaoyao wondered if he was hallucinating, and only after careful confirmation did he react that he had obtained excellent quality equipment in this novice village where it was difficult to even get excellent quality equipment! If this spreads, and he is still in a red state, I don't know how many people will have the intention of killing people and stealing goods.
Thinking of this, Ren Xiaoyao couldn't help but shudder, and hurriedly put the 'Ice Heart' into his backpack, swearing in his heart that he would never return to the novice village before the red name disappeared.
After putting away the jewelry, Ren Xiaoyao confirmed the vicinity of the Spider King again, and harvested 12 gold coins, 56 silver coins and hundreds of copper coins, although the Spider King did not break out other equipment except for the 'Ice Heart', but Ren Xiaoyao was already satisfied enough, after all, the well-grade 'Ice Heart' is worth ten pieces of excellent quality equipment.
After counting the harvest in the spider, Ren Xiaoyao set his eyes on the salamander king not far away, wondering what good things would come out of this big lizard?
It was also a one-handed flip of the body of the Salamander King, and Ren Xiaoyao couldn't wait to set his eyes on the ground.
The floor of the large stone slabs was covered with coins and a pair of barbed animal skin gloves.
Ren Xiaoyao hurriedly picked up the glove, and when he saw the glove clearly, Ren Xiaoyao couldn't help but be a little disappointed.
[Lava Gloves]: Grade: Excellent, Equipment Requirements: Level 5, Attributes: Strength +5, Intelligence +3, Defense +5.
……
These gloves are not bad, if they are put outside, they can also arouse people's envy and jealousy, but Ren Xiaoyao, who has just harvested a fine quality, is a little disdainful.
"Eh, why isn't it well-equipped?" Ren Xiaoyao sighed when he looked at the gloves alone, if his words were known by others, I don't know how many people would scold, and if you are still picky about good equipment, we don't even have a piece of excellent quality equipment.
Putting the lava gloves and the coins on the ground totaling about 10 gold coins into his backpack, Ren Xiaoyao counted the equipment he had now.
Now the fourth-level Ren Xiaoyao is equipped with a total of four pieces of armor: 'ratskin gloves', 'turf coat', 'turf shorts', and 'ratskin shorts'. The items that reach excellent quality in the backpack include the 'Lava Gauntlet', the 'Wolfskin Coat', the 'Black Iron Helmet', and the sophisticated-grade 'Ice Heart'.
His current net worth can be described as terrifying, and when he reaches the fifth level, he can change into these green equipment, and his strength must be different, and he can change to a piece of green equipment after going back to deal with the mysterious merchant.
By the way, what about the head of the Salamander King who handed over the mission? Ren Xiaoyao looked at the huge corpse that fell to the ground, and the head that was as tall as himself, and couldn't help but feel a little painful.
"How do you bring this thing back?" Ren Xiaoyao reached out and touched the body of the Salamander King, trying to put it in his backpack, but naturally failed miserably.
Just when Ren Xiaoyao was entangled, he suddenly thought of the skill on his skill panel that he had forgotten for a long time.
[Gathering Technique]: Level: Level 1, can be upgraded with the increase of collection proficiency, current proficiency: 56%, all professions share skills, loss of mana 1 point to collect materials on the monster, a certain chance to collect rare materials.
Ren Xiaoyao had also used this skill a few times since he entered the game, causing him to forget to use it when facing the corpse of the salamander.
But it's not too late, Ren Yao muttered. Stretched out one hand to the salamander king in front of him.
"Acquisition failed!"
"Acquisition failed!"
……
"Successful acquisition! You have obtained the head of the Salamander King, please check it out in your backpack. ”
……
With the system prompt, the acquisition is successful. Ren Xiaoyao opened his backpack and took out a lizard skull that had shrunk dozens of times.
[Salamander King's Head]: Grade: Rare, a certificate specified by the mysterious merchant, and cannot be used for forging.
……
Putting the head back in his backpack, Ren Xiaoyao looked at the corpse of the Salamander King that was gradually disappearing in front of him, and knew that there was no material to collect, so he changed the direction and used the collection technique on the Spider King.
"Acquisition failed!"
"Acquisition failed!"
……
"Successful acquisition! You've got the Ice Blade Bone, check it out in your backpack! ”
……
"Ding...... Players are free, your Gathering proficiency has been completed, congratulations on your successful upgrade to level 2.
The sudden system prompt made Ren Xiaoyao stunned for a moment, and then he remembered that there was still proficiency in this collection technique. Open the skills panel and look at it. ”
[Gathering Technique]: Level 2, which can be upgraded with the increase of collection proficiency, the current collection proficiency: 0%, collect materials on monsters, and have a greater chance of collecting rare materials.
……
How big is this chance, it's not about the face. Ren Xiaoyao secretly scolded himself, and then looked at the attribute of the ice blade bone in the backpack.
[Ice Blade Bone]: Grade: Rare, a rare material from the Ice Spider King, which can give ice attribute damage to the weapon when integrated into the weapon.
……
This one isn't bad! Ren Xiaoyao looked at the attributes of the ice blade bone, evaluated it in his heart, looked at the backpack full of equipment and materials, extremely satisfied, and thought about his current red status, plus he has been in the game for so long and has not been offline, I don't know if the wind chimes will be worried.
After clicking on the menu, it turned into a white light and disappeared after confirming that it was offline, and the huge square fell silent again except for the corpses in one place.
……
……
Ren Xiaoyao took off his helmet, and the moonlight outside the window reflected in, shining on his body, as well as ...... A sweet and quiet face, like a fairy in her sleep.
