Dragon Vine (7th update)

As a gold ring, the attributes of this Three-Leaf Beast Ring are undeniably perfect.

Not only does it have full critical hit rate, life steal, and increased damage, but it also has an 8-second Invincible Burst Skill. Moreover, this Burst Skill only consumes 30 Essence Points, which is much less than the 50 points required by my Fantasy Shield. In player battles, Essence Points are sometimes the lifeline, which is a well-known fact.

Furthermore, the most amazing thing about this Three-Leaf Beast Ring is that it has an incredibly powerful passive skill – Three-Leaf Beast Power!

Increasing melee attack power by 10% seems simple, but it's actually quite complex because it's an attribute that boosts overall attack power.

For example, my current attack cap is 16220 points. Sword Specialization increases it by 40%, and a full pink set increases it by 70%, which brings my attack cap to 34000+ points. The power of the Three-Leaf Beast further increases it by 10%, which is equivalent to a passive skill that increases attack power by 3400+ points. You can imagine how significant that increase is.

Congratulations!

Although I was a little envious and jealous, I still smiled and said, "This ring's attributes are perfect!"

"Yes, it's perfect..."

Three Cups to the Great Way held the ring in his palm, his lips twitching slightly. "What a pity..."

"What's a pity?"

A thought struck me; I realized my chance had come.

"Unfortunately, I already have a golden ring with Invincible Burst Skill."

Three Cups to the Great Way glanced at me furtively, grinned, and said, "And it's a top-tier ring that adds 20% ranged attack damage. Using this Three-Leaf Beast Ring on top of that would be a complete waste of resources. Besides, the ring's three attributes—life steal, divine power, and Three-Leaf Beast power—are all ineffective against me. It's a bit of a waste..."

This looks promising; I think this guy wants to make a deal!

"So..."

I coughed. "You want to sell this ring?"

"Um."

Three Cups to the Great Way tossed the ring into the air, caught it, and repeated this several times. He said, "Such a top-quality ring is impossible to sell for money. It can only be used for barter. Ding Han, you already have a full set of top-quality items, so you probably don't need this ring anymore, right?"

So, you're playing hard to get with me, aren't you?

"I have a gold ring too, but it's not an invincible ring."

I feigned composure and pondered for a moment, then said, "Changing is not out of the question, but not changing is also fine. It all depends on how big the boss's appetite is."

"Do you have any equipment that I can use?" he asked.

I'm afraid you won't like it.

"Let's take it out and see it first?"

So I opened my storage space and took out a golden Assault Rifle, the Conqueror that had dropped earlier!

The moment his gaze fell upon the Conqueror's attributes, a flash of astonishment crossed his face, but he quickly regained his composure and chuckled, "A golden Assault Rifle... not bad. It's truly king at 100-400 meters, but unfortunately, its overall close-range damage is much inferior to Explosive Gun and Submachine Gun."

The other party's expression clearly indicated that they felt the Conqueror's value was not commensurate with the Three-Leaf Beast Ring.

I actually think so too. The Three-Leaf Beast Ring's attributes are too perfect, and although the Conqueror is gold, there are quite a few firearms that can replace it. Various gold Explosive Gun and Submachine Gun may not be inferior in performance.

"So, Boss Sanbei doesn't need this Conqueror? Never mind then." I pretended to stuff the Conqueror into my storage space.

"Hey hey..."

Sanbeitong finally couldn't hold back any longer and coughed, saying, "Not really, this Conqueror is actually quite perfect for pairing with my Golden Hellfire Explosive Gun, but..."

"All right."

I laughed heartily, "A gun of the same level might indeed be much less valuable than a top-tier ring. How about this, I'll add a Storm Core, I wonder if that would be enough to exchange for this Three-Leaf Beast Ring?"

"Storm Core? You have Storm Core?"

Sanbei Tong looked pleasantly surprised, realizing that even the owner of Sanbei had people he wanted to kill.

"Um."

I took out a Storm Core and weighed it in my palm.

"Can!"

Three Cups immediately said, "The Golden Conqueror plus a Storm Core should be worth as much as the Three-Leaf Beast Ring. Ding Han, are you sure you want to trade?"

"Come on!"

He proactively opened the trade panel and placed the Three-Leaf Beast Ring on it, while I placed the Conqueror and Storm Core on it.

The transaction was completed in the next second, and the Three-Leaf Beast Ring was obtained.

Equip it directly.

At this point, the critical hit rate reached 38%, and with the added damage of 187%, it's simply terrifying!

Next, my melee damage will be greatly increased, and my Shooting Damage will also be significantly enhanced.

Keep leveling up.

After clearing out the Peanut Tree in the vicinity, Three Cups to the Great Way turned around and said, "Ding Han, let's split up and farm. I seem to be slowing you down a bit."

"Where..."

I smiled slightly, and I could tell that the other person was also a lone wolf who preferred to play solo. Such people are unwilling to team up unless they encounter an invincible enemy.

"Then let's split up and brush, I'll go west and you go north?"

"OK!"

Three Cups to the Great Way smiled and said, "Let's add each other as friends. We can contact each other quickly if anything unexpected happens later."

OK!

After adding each other as friends, the other person headed north, while I, carrying my Power Sword, advanced northwest, continuing to cut down Peanut Tree one by one.

Soon after, the sun set.

This is the second night in the Land of Revival.

My head is a little numb. I killed too many Peanut Tree, and my whole body is numb. Moreover, after such a long period of high-intensity combat, even the most physically strong player will feel tired and needs a short rest.

So they found a cave, lit a campfire inside, ate something, set an alarm, and fell asleep on their cot.

I don't know how much time passed before I woke up from the dream.

The dream was extremely chaotic. In the dream, I seemed to see two demon gods from the Chaos Faction. Their towering figures were oppressive, with sinister eyes and ferocious laughter. It seemed like a nightmare.

I glanced at my phone; it was not yet 11 p. m., and the alarm hadn't gone off yet.

I turned off the alarm and decided to try and comfort my girlfriend; I hadn't spoken to her for almost a day.

"Xiao Ying, are you in bed yet?"

"I'm taking a shower, wait for me."

"Good."

I took out a few hamburgers and started to replenish my energy.

A moment later, Lin Qingying sent a message: "All done, how are you now?"

"I just took a nap, now I'm up to continue cutting down trees."

I checked the mission progress and said, "If nothing unexpected happens, we should be able to return to Huaining City tomorrow."

"Okay, that's good."

After chatting for a few more minutes, Lin Qingying seemed worried about disturbing my tree-cutting progress and said she was going to sleep first.

After putting my girlfriend to sleep, I picked up my Power Sword, left the cave, and continued chopping trees!

Around 1 a. m.

Finally, after diligent work, with a large number of Peanut Tree lying behind me, and the total number of kills finally reaching 10,000, a bell rang in my ears, and the mission was complete!

[Congratulations! You have completed the quest "Peanuts Growing on Trees, Cleaning Contaminated Cordyceps" (S-rank)! Rewards: Character Experience +44 million, Charm Value +1, Reputation Value +3000, and additional reward: "Shockwave" (S-rank Skill Tome)!]

The reward was alright; I got a Shockwave book!

Shockwave is another rare skill for Super Weapon Master. It is not only an AOE attack but also has extremely high damage output and a low drop rate, making it a skill that most Super Weapon Master players covet.

It just so happens that Ruolin doesn't have this yet, so I'll go back and make up for this shortcoming for her.

Stand in the wilderness and open the large map.

My current location is slightly south of the center of the Land of Revival. Obviously, the Peanut Tree is not the true core of the Land of Revival, so the area to the north is a deep red on the map and remains unexplored.

After thinking about it, I made a decision.

Since we're already here, even if it's a den of dragons and tigers ahead, we have to go through it, not only for ourselves, but also for Star Abyss.

So, I slowly made my way through the mist with my sword. Along the way, I encountered a few monsters like Chaos Beast and Peanut Tree. There was nothing to say about them. I just killed them all. I'm here to level up, so I can't be picky!

After traveling north for about half an hour, the map's color became even more intense, turning almost blackish red.

Just then, the terrain ahead suddenly sank down, revealing a large basin shrouded in mist, from which a strange aura emanated.

He took out a flashlight from his storage space, fixed it to his shoulder, and shone it straight ahead. Holding the Conqueror in his arms, he walked step by step into the basin.

"Shuashuashua~~"

A few minutes later, amidst a strange noise, something seemed to be moving on the ground.

It swam incredibly fast, arriving in the blink of an eye. Its body slithered forward, and it opened its mouth to bite!

Step Slash!

After dodging the attack, the Conqueror aimed and fired. In the flash of the gunfire, the creature was seen rolling after being hit, letting out a loud squeak before charging again.

Is it a snake?

It doesn't seem to be, but rather a vine that resembles a snake.

The vine was entirely blood-red, resembling a crimson serpent—it was incredibly eerie!

The next second, its attributes appeared.

Snake Vine, Level 75, Cyan BOSS, same quality as Peanut Tree.

Conquerors are no longer effective; let's switch to melee combat!

Just as the Snake Vine charged forward again, the Power Sword was drawn and cleaved in two with a "crack." Instantly, scalding blood gushed out, dripping onto the ground with a sizzling sound and quickly igniting. Furthermore, the Snake Vine that had been cut in two grew wildly and rapidly, transforming into two smaller Snake Vine in the blink of an eye!

The scene was so bizarre it sent chills down my spine.

Keep chopping, let's see how many times you can split!

After unleashing more than ten sword strikes, slicing the Snake Vine into pieces like braised eel, it finally became obedient, squeaking twice before handing over the Experience Points and the Cyan Treasure Chest.

At this moment, the thin mist in the basin seemed to be dissipating. As the mist dissipated, my vision gradually opened up, and I saw a huge network within the basin.

The entire basin was dominated by a giant plant with a very developed root system that was blood red and spread across the entire basin like a spider web, looking somewhat like a giant red purslane.

"What the hell is that?"

I gazed into the distance, focusing on the center of this giant plant, and soon after, a line of text appeared—

[Dragon Vine] (Chaos-rank, S9, Brown BOSS)
