Chen Nian put on the two new pieces of epic equipment.
The equipment transformed and merged into his body. Now wearing three pieces of epic equipment, his stats soared to unprecedented heights!
Chen Nian: Word Spirit Sage (unique) Genetic tier: Tier 1 (level 60) Constitution: 100 Agility: 72 Supernatural: 67 Bonus attack: 130 Bonus defense: 500 Combat rating: 43 stars
His defense skyrocketed to 500, his combat rating rose considerably, and his constitution even reached the 100-point milestone!
With 100 constitution, Chen Nian could withstand attacks from light firearms with his body alone, without factoring in defense.
If his terrifying bonus defense was included, never mind ordinary firearms-he could even take a railgun shot head-on.
With enough increases in defense down the line, even shrugging off nuclear bombs wasn't out of the question!
Elsewhere.
The world boss had just been defeated.
Sighs of disappointment rose from many people.
"Ugh, we worked so hard fighting that boss for so long, and I didn't get a thing!"
"Haha, I got a piece of fine equipment, at least. Didn't work for nothing."
"I got lucky and received a rare material, but I have absolutely no idea how to use this thing..."
When someone defeated a boss solo, every item had an 80% chance of dropping into the killer's inventory-in this case, Chen Nian's.
There was a 20% chance it would be randomly distributed to the others.
In other words, those hundreds upon hundreds of people randomly split that 20%.
Among them, one lucky person received a piece of epic equipment!
An expression of incredulous delight suddenly appeared on Qin Yu's face.
"I got... some good equipment!"
Just moments earlier, she had received a notification.
[Congratulations! You have obtained the epic equipment "Demon Turtle Armguard."]
That's right, she was that supremely lucky person!
Seeing her delighted expression, Fatty Deng more or less understood what had happened and hurriedly warned her.
"Xiao Yu!"
Never flaunt your wealth.
Epic equipment could make people green with envy!
If anyone found out, they might set their sights on her!
Qin Yu immediately understood too. She hurriedly forced herself to calm down and walked away as if nothing had happened.
But her unusual behavior just now had still caught two people's attention.
"That woman seems to have something good..."
"Get a couple of people and follow her quietly."
As they walked, Qin Yu saw that no one else was around. Finally unable to hide the excitement on her little face, she whispered.
"I got a piece of epic armor!"
"What?!"
Deng Rongrong and the other two were astonished too. They hadn't expected Qin Yu to be so lucky!
Receiving a piece of epic equipment out of all those people-she really was a luck emperor!
"Xiao Yu, what are you planning to do with it? Use it yourself or sell it? If you take it to the Trading Space right now, it'll definitely fetch a good price."
"I'm not planning to sell it..."
"Then keep it for yourself. It's not like you're short on money, Xiao Yu."
"I'm not planning to use it myself either."
Qin Yu thought for a moment, then said in all seriousness, "I'm going to give this equipment to Chen Nian!"
"Huh??"
All three gaped.
What's going on?
Has she already found out Chen Nian's real identity?
Otherwise, why would she be willing to give him something so valuable?
"Um... he gave me a piece of epic equipment before, and a rare class change card too. I haven't had any way to repay him. This is perfect!"
"Something this good would be wasted on me anyway. Better to let him use it."
Qin Yu blushed and stammered.
The three breathed a sigh of relief. Thank goodness. It seemed the girl wasn't quite that clever.
"Sure, I'm all for it!"
"Me too. Giving it to Chen Nian sounds great. You're a couple, after all."
Qin Yu bit her lip. "Then have you managed to reach Chen Nian? We couldn't get through to him before."
"We probably can now... haha."
All three knew perfectly well that Chen Nian had already stepped in to deal with the world boss, so he must be back.
But just then, Deng Rongrong's expression suddenly darkened.
"Careful. Someone's following us!"
"Move!"
They had only just quickened their pace when two more people approached from ahead, blocking their path.
Four people in total, hemming them in from both sides.
Qin Yu's expression changed. "Who are you? What do you want?!"
"Little lady, if I'm not mistaken, you've got something good on you, don't you?"
At those words, Qin Yu was shaken.
"I'm not even a second-tier player. I don't know what you're talking about... please let us through."
"Good. Judging by that reaction, we guessed right. Heh!"
The young man in the lead smiled. "How about this? We won't make things difficult for you. Hand it over, and we'll spare your lives."
Deng Rongrong and the other two: ...
They hadn't expected people with ill intentions to set their sights on them after all.
But these people were far too bold. They even wanted to rob Chen Nian's girlfriend of her equipment. If Chen Nian came after them, they probably wouldn't even know how they died!
This wasn't just kicking an iron plate anymore. They'd kicked a titanium-alloy steel plate!
"You're robbing us in broad daylight! Aren't you afraid we'll call the police?!" Qin Yu demanded.
"Haha, don't be so naive, little lady. The world's rules aren't what they used to be. Every conflict between players is a struggle for survival where the strong prey on the weak!"
"What a joke. As long as we don't kill you, the enforcement squad has no reason to come after us."
"Get it, little girl? If you do, hurry up and hand it over. Don't make us use force!"
Deng Rongrong also urged her quietly, "Xiao Yu, maybe we should be sensible. Losing the equipment is one thing. Our lives matter more..."
"No!"
Qin Yu's gaze was resolute.
This was meant for Chen Nian. She couldn't simply hand it over to someone else.
"You don't know what's good for you. Get them!"
"I'm so mad! So mad!"
"I'd barely gotten my hands on that good equipment before someone stole it!"
"It's all my fault. If I hadn't reacted so strongly, they wouldn't have known..."
The angrier Qin Yu got, the closer she came to tears.
Clearly, they had lost the fight.
The equipment's value was secondary. What she couldn't bear most was losing the gift she'd finally been able to give Chen Nian!
"Don't be upset, Xiao Yu. Let's go find Chen Nian."
"What for? I-I lost the equipment I was going to give him. I'm not going!"
"We can ask him to help you get it back..."
"Get it back... have him help me get it back, then give it to him? That'd make it even more meaningless!"
The three: That actually makes fucking sense?
Ahem! I wonder what your expression will be when you find out who Chen Nian is.
