Su Yu stepped forward and picked up the bag dropped by the Village Chief of Sheep Village.
The bag contained two pieces of equipment: a "branch" and a bow and arrows.
The "branch" glowed with a brilliant golden light.
Staff of the Village Chief lv5 (Gold Excellent) Spell Power +10 Intelligence +3 Equipment Description: Listen up, everyone! This is the Staff of the Village Chief, not the Village Chief's Stupid Stick!
"It really is a piece of Gold Equipment!" Su Yu smiled faintly.
Equipment in "Evolution" was classified by quality into normal, excellent, rare, epic, and legendary.
However, beyond equipment quality, all equipment was also divided into two major categories—non-gold equipment and Gold Equipment.
Gold Equipment could be of any quality, such as Gold Normal, Gold Excellent, or even Golden Legendary.
Gold did not improve an item's attributes. A non-gold excellent Staff of the Village Chief had exactly the same attributes as a Gold Excellent Staff of the Village Chief.
However, Gold Equipment possessed one special attribute—it could be manifested in the real world!
Ordinary equipment could only be used in the game. Only Gold Equipment could be manifested in reality!
Moreover, the drop rate for Gold Equipment was extremely low. According to player statistics, it was roughly 1%.
This caused the value of Gold Equipment in the later stages of the game to be hundreds or even thousands of times higher than ordinary equipment!
Those high-level Gold Epic and Golden Legendary pieces with powerful attributes were even more priceless!
Su Yu's situation was somewhat special. He did not need to wait until the late game; he could manifest his strength in reality right now.
Therefore, obtaining a Gold weapon now would greatly improve his ability to protect himself offline!
Su Yu nodded in satisfaction and used Star Point Hand to upgrade the Staff of the Village Chief to rare quality.
Staff of the Village Chief lv5 (Gold Rare) Spell Power +20 Intelligence +7 Mana Recovery Speed +7
The Staff of the Village Chief had powerful attributes, far better than even an ordinary-quality level 15 staff.
The only regrettable thing was that the Staff of the Village Chief did not look very good.
When held in his hand, it looked like a Y-shaped poplar branch, with none of the feel of a magic staff.
However, Su Yu had no ability to alter an item's appearance, so he could only make do with it.
Besides the Staff of the Village Chief, the boss had also dropped a Wolf-Slaying Bow lv5 (Excellent).
The previous two bosses had dropped equipment as well. The Boiling Goat Leader had dropped a leather armor pair of pants—Gray Wolf Legguards lv5 (Excellent)—while the Beautiful Goat Leader had contributed a leather armor top—Red Wolf Leather Jacket lv5 (Excellent).
All three pieces added agility, which did not suit Su Yu's attributes.
He could only list them in the Warehouse for sale.
He left the dungeon and returned to Novice Village.
Su Yu checked his remaining game time for the day. He still had thirteen minutes left.
"Sigh! I'll list the equipment in the Warehouse, then call it a day!"
He stretched and walked toward the Warehouse.
Su Yu was very satisfied with what he had gained on the first day of the game.
Not only had he triggered two Main Storylines and obtained an epic-quality Goddess's Tear, but he had also reached level 5 and acquired a Gold weapon.
Tomorrow's plan was to reach level 10 and head to the main city!
He arrived at the Warehouse.
Su Yu listed all the equipment he did not need for auction in the Warehouse, then prepared to log off.
But just then, he received a private message from Snowflake.
"Hey, hey, hey, great expert, was that 'Level 50 reward' you mentioned earlier real?"
Su Yu replied, "Of course it's real. What's wrong?"
Snowflake replied, "Then can you tell me what the reward is exactly?"
Su Yu replied, "No. You'll naturally find out once you reach level 50."
Snowflake replied, "All right."
Snowflake said nothing more and went back to report to her brother.
Besides Snowflake, Skycutter Sword and Crimson-Eyed Black Dragon had also sent him private messages.
The contents of their messages were more or less the same as Snowflake's. They were all asking whether the reward was real.
Su Yu gave them both affirmative answers as well.
"Log out."
Once his game time was used up, Su Yu logged out.
"Ding! It has been detected that your game time has reached twelve hours, and you possess the skill Star Conversion. Would you like to manifest your strength in the real world?"
"Manifest!"
"Ding! The manifestation process has begun. Please wait."
In the real world, the Game Helmet released a huge amount of spiritual energy.
This spiritual energy poured in through the top of Su Yu's head, traveled through his meridians to his limbs, and was absorbed by his body.
Ten minutes later, the spiritual energy infusion was complete.
Another status panel appeared on the helmet.
Player: Su Yu Realm: Apprentice Mage Level: 5 Skills: Magic Missile (Rare), Lightning Arrow (Rare), Invisibility (Rare) Spell Power: 43 Health: 120 Mana: 180 Equipment: Staff of the Village Chief
This was the player's status panel in the real world.
Su Yu took off the helmet and sat up from the bed.
He casually snapped his fingers, and crackling arcs of electricity appeared at his fingertips.
With a light flick of his finger, the electric arc flew from his fingertips and struck the wall opposite his bed in the rented apartment.
Sizzle—sizzle—sizzle
The once snow-white wall was scorched black by the electric arc. Large patches of plaster fell away, exposing the ugly bricks beneath.
Then Su Yu sat up slightly straighter.
Whoosh!
His figure vanished from the bed, and in the next instant, he had appeared in the kitchen.
"Having Blink really is convenient! But this mana consumption... is a bit of a headache."
Su Yu's spells were all rare-quality, and their mana consumption was extremely high.
After casting just two spells, he had already used forty-five points of mana, equivalent to one-quarter of his maximum mana.
He suddenly missed the Goddess's Tear and the several hundred mana potions in his game inventory.
It was currently ten thirty at night, still not time for bed.
Su Yu boiled a kettle of water, ordered takeout, and sat down in front of his computer to surf the internet.
Besides the twelve hours in the game, he could not waste the twelve hours offline either. He had to make good use of them!
Before the Skrulls launched their full-scale invasion, every second was precious.
There was no need to visit the Official Forum. It was full of discussions about the Level 50 reward and contained no valuable information.
Su Yu continued searching the internet for information about Unidentified Flying Objects, aliens, spaceships, and the like.
Unfortunately, he still could not find the information he wanted.
After searching for more than ten minutes, Su Yu seemed to suddenly think of something.
So he changed his approach and began searching for recent news related to "ghosts."
Thanks to Noble Elder for the 100 reward!
