Tide-Stepping Giant Bloodline Factor

After equipping the two new weapons, Qin Chuan sincerely thanked Death Bonecrusher Gada.

If it hadn't dropped Overlord's Proof, which could reduce equipment requirements by ten levels, he could only have stared helplessly at the Tide-Stepping Blade.

Thinking of this, Qin Chuan could not help feeling a little regretful.

This Tide-Stepping Giant had not performed Death Sacrifice, so it had failed to rise directly to Epic rank. That was a small disappointment.

However, Qin Chuan knew some of the reasons behind it.

The main reason was faith.

The Sea Race differed from goblins. The Sea Race had a clear faith: they worshipped the Sea God.

Even if they were to perform a sacrifice, they would pray to the Sea God for power.

Taking a step back, even if a member of the Sea Race really performed a Death Sacrifice ritual, it was hard to say whether the Death Bringer would even appear.

As beings on the level of gods, poaching business on another god's turf was a major taboo.

Of course, the biggest reason was that the Sea God had not fallen yet. If they really fought, winning would be one thing.

But if the Death Bringer lost, where would it put its face?

It might as well exclude the Sea Race altogether and ignore them.

Goblins were not so particular in this regard.

They had no god they worshipped, so they would generally choose to pray to the Death Bringer for power.

Composing himself, Qin Chuan continued inspecting the loot.

A skill book.

Roaring Water Dragon Bullet (Dark Gold-rank): Active skill. Gather water elements and bombard a target area, dealing (Magic Damage * 200% + 1000) damage. Costs 200 Mana. Cooldown: 30 seconds. Only Water-Type Mages may learn it.

Trait: Traction: Enemies hit will be bound in place for (5) seconds.

Qin Chuan was thrilled when he saw the skill book.

But he also had a feeling that he most likely would not be able to use it.

It could not be helped. Although Tide-Stepping Giants looked towering and mighty, with the standard physique of melee fighters, they were actually adept in both magic and martial combat.

Not just this Tide-Stepping Giant—the entire race was like that.

While possessing formidable physical strength, they were also proficient in water magic. Combined, the two made them exceptionally powerful in battle.

The skill is powerful, but it's limited to mages—and Water-Type Mages at that. It probably won't fetch a very good price.

Qin Chuan thought to himself.

At this point, he had two skill books in hand.

One was the Gold-rank Tide of Blood, while the other was the Dark Gold-rank Roaring Water Dragon Bullet.

The latter was out of the question. He was an assassin; no matter how much Agility he stacked, he could not meet the requirement of being a Water-Type Mage.

As for the former, he could forcibly stack Spirit to reach its requirement of three hundred points, but there was little need to.

Tide of Blood attacked outward from the user's position. It did not synergize well with the Sniper God talent, and it was completely at odds with Qin Chuan's combat style.

He could not exactly blink into the middle of his enemies just to cast a skill.

Same old saying.

He could do it, but there was no need to.

With that spare time, he might as well toss a Shadow Throwing Knife over there.

Let me think. Were there any famous Water-Type Mages in my previous life?

Qin Chuan rubbed his chin in thought.

He had already decided to establish a guild, so naturally, he needed to start scouting for candidates.

Ji Xing and Yingluo Yezakura were basically settled.

Especially Ji Xing. She had taken his blueprint and thought she could run?

Not that easily.

After thinking for a while, Qin Chuan really did recall someone who met the requirements.

However, judging by the timeline, that person had not entered the game yet. He would probably have to wait for a while.

He put the skill book into the Baron Ring and looked at the final piece of loot.

Tide-Stepping Giant Bloodline Factor (Dark Gold-rank Item)

Effect: Gain the Tide-Stepping Giant bloodline upon use. Growth +3, with an additional +1 Spirit Growth.

Please note: Using this item will permanently alter the character's body size. Please choose carefully.

Well, another Bloodline Factor.

These Dark Gold-rank bosses really were willing to bleed.

Compared to the Goblin Warrior Bloodline Factor, the Tide-Stepping Giant Bloodline Factor was undoubtedly far stronger.

Not only did it offer greater Growth, it also provided an additional bonus to the Spirit attribute.

That was only natural. What kind of standing did goblins have? How could they compare to Tide-Stepping Giants?

Even Goblin Warriors were still inferior to Tide-Stepping Giants.

Absorbing the Tide-Stepping Giant Bloodline Factor could give ordinary players Growth comparable to that of top-tier players.

But there was a problem here.

Those who could afford Bloodline Factors were either wealthy or powerful. No matter what, they would not be ordinary players.

Nor would they casually decide which Bloodline Factor to absorb. They would carefully select one before making their decision.

Take Qin Chuan, for example. He had two Bloodline Factors in hand, yet he had no intention of absorbing either one.

Because he understood one thing clearly.

If he absorbed this kind of Bloodline Factor, which could at most be considered mid-tier, then even after reaching Level 100, his Four Dimensions would only increase by a few hundred points. It was not worth mentioning at all.

He might as well wait patiently and make a big move directly.

As for missing out on attribute gains during the growth period by absorbing it too late—

There was no need to worry too much about that either.

That was because Apocalypse had certain special items that could make up for that issue.

With Qin Chuan's knowledge, as long as the timing was right, he could get them at any time.

After reviewing all six pieces of loot, Qin Chuan was fairly satisfied.

Although only two of them were useful to him, they were still improvements.

Besides, he had secured Ji Xing, an extremely promising mechanic, ahead of time. He had made a killing.

Once the shop opens tomorrow and the Guild Token auction is completed, I can begin the next step.

Qin Chuan thought to himself.

As he pondered, Yingluo Yezakura's voice sounded by his ear. "Boss, the Sea Monsters have retreated. Are you heading back to Beili City?"

Turning around, he saw that Ji Xing had recovered from her shock and was thinking about how to gather enough materials to build the Destroyer.

Yingluo Yezakura stood beside her. Her armor was not stained in the slightest and still gleamed brilliantly.

It was worth mentioning that when the two stood together, Yingluo Yezakura's looks completely overshadowed Ji Xing's.

Qin Chuan remembered that Ji Xing had lowered her appearance when entering the game. She was also a top-tier beauty in real life.

But compared to Yingluo Yezakura, there was still quite a noticeable gap.

Ji Xing noticed it too. She reached out and pinched Yingluo Yezakura's cheek, sighing, "You're this outrageously beautiful—are you not leaving us girls any way to live?"

Yingluo Yezakura spread her hands. "I'm helpless about looking like this too."

Ji Xing was rendered speechless.

What could she say? Anything she said would be pointless.

Fortunately, Ji Xing was good at adjusting her mindset. She quickly returned to her carefree self and said to Qin Chuan, "Master, I'm going to gather materials. Remember to call me once you've established the guild."

With that, she ran off in a hurry.

Qin Chuan shook his head helplessly, then looked at Yingluo Yezakura and said, "I need to go to Linggang City first and see whether this Tide-Stepping Giant's head can trigger any quests. Then I'll return to Beili City."

Yingluo Yezakura said, "In that case, I'll wait for you in Linggang City. Anyway, I've finished my advancement quest, and I don't have anything important to do for the time being."

Qin Chuan nodded. "All right. I probably won't need much time. Once I trigger the quest, we'll head back to Beili City. Oh, right, my shop opens tomorrow. If you have time, come show your support."

Yingluo Yezakura readily agreed. "If the boss says the word, I'll definitely be there."

The two headed toward Linggang City together. Halfway there, Qin Chuan received a message from Dragon Soar Under Heaven. "Hahaha, boss, let me tell you some good news. I killed Rakshasa One-Blade Cut seven or eight times. He even lost his underwear!"
