Set Attribute

Ye Luo was in a good mood after obtaining a decent pill recipe, but Yan Hua Yi Leng, standing beside him, shook her head.

"What's wrong? Did I get ripped off in this trade?" Ye Luo asked, a little confused.

"No, it's just that you could have gained more profit. After all, the Night Rain Family is in dire need of equipment," Yan Hua Yi Leng said calmly. Seeing Ye Luo's indifferent expression, she changed her tone, "Don't you want to complete your set equipment quickly? We're likely to reach level 18 or 19 today, which means after tomorrow, we'll lose our eligibility to run the level 10 dungeon. You could have exchanged equipment with Night Rain Misty earlier, even if it was three pieces for two."

The level 10 dungeon, Demon Ant Calamity, had a level restriction; players couldn't enter after level 20. With Ye Luo and Yan Hua Yi Leng's leveling speed, they would definitely reach level 20 within a day, thus losing their chance to run the dungeon again.

"Uh, this..." Ye Luo only then realized this point. He gave a wry smile and muttered to himself, "I hope my luck improves. I can still run the dungeon three more times tomorrow..."

"I hope your luck improves too," Yan Hua Yi Leng said faintly. Then, she accepted the quest and instructed, "We need to go all out from now on. Don't hold back your Brave and Fearless skill on your medal. Charge through with our strongest stance, ensuring no one can break our record."

If others couldn't break their record, then Ye Luo and Yan Hua Yi Leng's names would remain at the top of the leaderboard. This might not mean much to Ye Luo, but for Yan Hua Yi Leng, or more accurately, for Misty Pavilion, it would be quite beneficial. At the very least, more players would be attracted to join Misty Pavilion.

Nodding, a white light flashed, and the two re-entered the dungeon.

Taking the mutated Strength Pill, Ye Luo and Yan Hua Yi Leng charged into battle in their strongest state. Although the monsters' strength had increased due to their leveling up, under their full assault, the demon ants died at an extremely rapid pace.

Soon, the worker ants and soldier ants were dealt with. Ye Luo and Yan Hua Yi Leng simultaneously held off three demon ants each. With Brave and Fearless activated, they could withstand the onslaught without any danger, and their monster-killing speed increased significantly.

After the male ants died, it was the demon ant queen's turn. The Brave and Fearless skill had also completed its cooldown. Ye Luo immediately cast it, and waves of damage numbers popped up above the queen's head.

With nearly a thousand health points, and significantly increased defense and attack, Ye Luo and Yan Hua Yi Leng had no fear of being instantly killed by the queen. Their fighting became somewhat reckless, but their efficiency increased greatly.

Fifteen minutes later, the demon ant queen died, and the dungeon quest was completed. Undoubtedly, they had broken their previous record again, improving it by a full five minutes.

Breathing slightly heavily, Ye Luo calmed his breath and said, "We didn't hold back this time, and our luck was good. We got multiple critical hits while fighting the queen. No one should be able to break our record now, right?"

"It's hard to say," Yan Hua Yi Leng replied calmly. Then she changed her tone, "However, our equipment is almost the best for this level, our skills are also the best, and we have mutated pills. Theoretically, it's very difficult to break our record unless some experts from the celebrity rankings specifically come to farm the dungeon."

"Of course, people on the celebrity rankings wouldn't waste their time doing such a thing. Besides, their levels are higher than ours, so they don't have much of an advantage," Yan Hua Yi Leng added.

"So, almost no one can break our record then," Ye Luo said. He didn't dwell on the matter and expressed his dissatisfaction, "We broke the record, but why didn't we get any skill point rewards this time? We just gained a lot of experience."

"Perhaps the AI of Heavenly Tribulation knows we're farming records, so the rewards were reduced," Yan Hua Yi Leng said. Seeing Ye Luo's shocked expression, she spoke with an air of inevitability, "For the sake of game balance, the AI won't allow reward farming, or at least it can prevent such situations."

Without dwelling on the issue for too long, Ye Luo shifted his gaze to the loot.

Their luck was quite good this time. Although the three male ants didn't drop any Jade Poison Beads, the queen dropped a Tier 2 one. This upgraded Yan Hua Yi Leng's Jade Poison Bead to Tier 3, significantly boosting its overall attributes.

"Yan Hua, if we ran this dungeon again right now, we could shave off at least a minute. What a shame," Ye Luo said with a half-joking tone, then his eyes moved to the equipment.

The three male ants dropped two set equipment pieces, both heavy armor types. Although one chestplate was the same as Ye Luo's, the boots were something Ye Luo could equip, allowing him to complete another piece of his set:

[Demon Ant Boots] (Boots * Heavy Armor — Normal) Physical Defense: 20—20 Magic Defense: 10—10 Durability: 150/150 Required Level: 10 Set Attribute: Activate set attributes when combined with Demon Ant Armguards, Demon Ant Leggings, Demon Ant Chestplate, and Demon Ant Helmet of the heavy armor type.

The attributes of the Demon Ant Boots were identical to the White Iron Boots, which made Ye Luo a little regretful. After all, he had exchanged them from Night Rain Misty at a "high price." However, for the sake of the set attribute, he had no choice but to discard them.

Next, he examined the equipment dropped by the queen. To Ye Luo's delight, the queen dropped three pieces of equipment, and one of them was an armguard he needed:

[Demon Ant Armguards] (Armguards * Heavy Armor — Normal) Physical Defense: 20—20 Magic Defense: 10—10 Durability: 150/150 Required Level: 10 Set Attribute: Activate set attributes when combined with Demon Ant Boots, Demon Ant Leggings, Demon Ant Chestplate, and Demon Ant Helmet of the heavy armor type.

Quickly equipping them, Ye Luo now only needed one more piece, Demon Ant Leggings, to complete the set.

The remaining two pieces of equipment were leather armor types. Yan Hua Yi Leng could equip the boots, but she didn't want to replace her Flying Snow Robe with the chestplate, so she passed on them.

Looking at the few extra set pieces, Ye Luo said, "I wonder if we can exchange these for two pieces we need."

"It's a rule in virtual online games that chestplates are harder to drop than other defensive equipment like armguards and leggings. Also, chestplates of the same level have better stats than armguards and leggings, so the exchange shouldn't be difficult," Yan Hua Yi Leng said. After a moment of thought, she looked at Ye Luo, "Let's use these two chestplates to exchange for what we need with Night Rain Misty. She's a smart person, she'll definitely agree."

Nodding, the two exited the dungeon. Night Rain Misty's team had not yet emerged, so they had to wait for a while.

"Yan Hua, I have quite a few Gale Grass in my inventory, but I don't have any Dragonfly Wings. I'll go to the Novice Village's South Gate later to collect some. It's always good to refine the Gale Pill as soon as possible," Ye Luo said while waiting for Night Rain Misty and the others.

"Mm, you can just buy some outside the South Gate. I'm sure many people will be willing to trade," Yan Hua Yi Leng nodded slightly. Her tone held a hint of anticipation, "The 10 points of agility from the Gale Pill aren't much for me now, but it would be a significant boost for you, as you've allocated so little agility. Moreover, if my guess is correct, the mutated Gale Pill, like the mutated Strength Pill, will have additional attributes, and that's what we truly need."

Nodding, Ye Luo also felt a sense of anticipation. However, Night Rain Misty and the others had also emerged from the dungeon. Trading equipment to complete his set was a more pressing matter.

Before Ye Luo could speak, Night Rain Misty said with a charming smile, "Congratulations, Sister Yan Hua and Brother Ye Luo, on breaking your record again. Oh my, 15 minutes! That's even faster than our six-person dungeon run. I'm afraid this record will last forever."

Ye Luo smiled slightly and didn't chat with her. He simply explained the equipment exchange he needed.

As Yan Hua Yi Leng had predicted, the set chestplate was indeed harder to drop than other pieces and had better stats. She readily agreed and smoothly exchanged the equipment with Ye Luo.

Afterward, Ye Luo obtained the final piece, leggings:

[Demon Ant Leggings] (Leggings * Heavy Armor — Normal) Physical Defense: 20—20

Magic Defense: 10—10

Equipment Durability: 150/150

Required Level: 10

Set Bonus: Can only be activated when combined with the Demon Ant Boots, Demon Ant Armguards, Demon Ant Chestplate, and Demon Ant Helmet of the Heavy Armor type.

After swapping out his original leggings, Ye Luo finally had all five pieces of the set. He then heard the system prompt:

System Prompt (Personal): Dear Ye Luo Zhi Qiu, congratulations on collecting the Demon Ant Boots, Demon Ant Armguards, Demon Ant Chestplate, Demon Ant Helmet, and Demon Ant Leggings. The set bonus has been activated.

Set Bonus: Overall damage to targets increased by 15%, damage reduction from targets increased by 15%, HP recovery speed increased by 10 points per second, and chance to knock back targets increased by 15%.

Increased damage, damage reduction from oneself, and powerful HP recovery and target knockback attributes – the set bonus for these five pieces was incredibly strong, aligning perfectly with Yan Hua Yi Leng's high praise.

Upon learning of the set bonus, Yan Hua Yi Leng simply stated, "Hmm, not bad."

Knowing that Yan Hua Yi Leng calling something "not bad" was high praise, Ye Luo suddenly became curious. "Yan Hua, the set bonuses for the three types of equipment should be different, right? After all, the three types of equipment have different focuses."

"Of course they're different," Yan Hua Yi Leng replied with certainty. Then, without further explanation, she contacted Sister Feng and the others via communicator, clearly asking about the set bonuses of the other two types of equipment.

A moment later, Yan Hua Yi Leng closed the communication and stated calmly, "Aside from damage increase and damage reduction for the wearer, Leather Armor type equipment increases Evasion by 15%, Accuracy by 15%, and movement speed by 0.5 meters per second. Cloth Armor type equipment increases Magic recovery speed by 10 points per second and Intelligence by 15 points. The set bonuses are all quite good."

"Yan Hua, the attributes increased by the Leather Armor set are all very suitable for you, especially the increased speed. It's a shame you won't give up the Flying Snow Robe," Ye Luo said, sounding a bit regretful. He then looked expectant. "It would be even more powerful if the Flying Snow Robe could absorb the attributes of other equipment to form a set."

"That would affect game balance," Yan Hua Yi Leng said calmly, though her tone was slightly softer than before. "Alright, you go collect the Dragonfly Wings. I'll wander around and see if I can pick up any quests."
