A gust of autumn wind blew the leaves down, which swayed aimlessly in the wind.
"Uh... not a single one came? Are they playing a trick on me? Sigh, it's really a shame the beautiful Rogue didn't come." Sun Fei stared at the swirling yellow sand and autumn leaves for a while, thinking the girls had suddenly changed their minds and didn't want to go far. Helplessly, he hummed a little tune and walked through the streets and alleys of [ Lut Gholein ], finally finding Fara in the inner city. She was playing the role of the beautiful woman Charsi in [Ru -Lut Gholein Rogue Encampment ], and was also a blacksmith. From her, one could buy more advanced and more powerful weapons.
Sun Fei opened the transaction dialog box and started shopping.
Let's start with the armor.
The [ Arctic Furs ] that used to drop from monsters had 48 defense, but it's become somewhat outdated and can hardly withstand the sharp claws of higher-level monsters and demons. It's time for it to be phased out.
After careful observation, he selected a set of red insect-patterned plate armor with a defense of 95. This [ Superior Plate Mail ] had more than double the defense of the previous [ Arctic Furs ], but the price was also staggering, costing Sun Fei a full 20,000 gold coins.
In addition to plate armor, Sun Fei also chose a Spartan-style high-level helmet with a T-shaped nose guard. The helmet had a golden feather-like bristle on the top, making it exceptionally beautiful. The helmet had a defense of 13 and a special effect of 18% resistance to fire damage. He also wore a pair of [ Greaves of Neglect Tracking ], a blue-level equipment with a defense of 12 and a host of other special magical attributes such as resistance to fire, electricity, and poison.
He had the armor, helmet, and heavy boots; all he needed was a pair of strong gloves to complete his armor set. Unfortunately, after searching for a long time, Sun Fei found that the gloves sold at Fara's shop weren't the type that satisfied him.
After a moment of contemplation, he quickly came up with a plan—he would buy a pair of basic steel gloves here, and then have the female blacksmith Charsi at [ Rogue Encampment ] enchant them. He hadn't used the enchantment reward from the quest to find the magical hammer yet, so this way he could get a pair of high-performance, powerful gloves.
Next came the replacement of weapons.
Sun Fei carefully selected two broadswords, replacing his previous Barbarian two-handed greataxe. One was purple, the other blue, but both were the same length. They were named [ Soul Slaughter Claymore ] and [ Soul Saw Crystal Sword ], respectively. Both swords had a one-handed damage of 8-25, which was at least as strong as the original, exaggeratedly designed two-handed greataxe. Both were blue-level equipment and also had special effects, increasing the four major resistances, attack accuracy, and magical effects. The two swords cost Sun Fei a total of 19,000 gold coins. Now that his Barbarian character had learned the [ Double Swing ] skill, he could use both swords simultaneously, making the skill effect incredibly cool and more than doubling his attack power.
These two swords are the main hand weapons that Sun Fei prepared for the Barbarian character.
For his off-hand weapon, Sun Fei removed and sold his previous [ Storm Piercer Dagger ] and [ Soul Emblem Buckler ]. He chose a [ Superior Light Steel Shield ] with an alien-like design resembling Paladin's cross, boasting 22 defense, 3 to all resistances, and two special sockets. He also acquired a double-edged axe called [ Blood Cleaving Double Axe ], with 7-20 damage per hand, fire damage, 2 maximum damage, 41% maximum damage, and 32% attack accuracy.
With this setup, the left hand wields a shield, the right hand an axe, and the off-hand weapon's attack power is roughly doubled. The effect of this equipment is truly astonishing.
Finally, Sun Fei spent 3,000 gold coins to buy a three-layer, sixteen-slot extra-large space ornament, which would make transporting things from the real world to the Diablo World much more convenient in the future.
This shopping spree cost Sun Fei nearly 60,000 gold coins. However, since he sold his original equipment to make up for some of the losses, he still had 35,000 gold coins left, making him a small-time tycoon.
Unfortunately, there were very few small items like rings and amulets for sale here, so Sun Fei had to give up on that idea. He currently had two rings and one amulet, but they all had special effects that increased the range of illumination and the accuracy of attacks, so they weren't very useful, though they were better than nothing.
During this process, Sun Fei finally confirmed one thing—
[ Lut Gholein ] completely lacked its own intelligence. If the people in [ Rogue Encampment ] felt like a living world to Sun Fei, then this Shamo gem gave him the exact opposite impression—it was like a single-player Diablo game. Everyone's dialogue style and content were exactly the same as in the computer games of his previous life, without the slightest difference, not even the tone of voice. Apart from the fixed dialogue, their faces were blank, their expressions were stagnant, and they wouldn't answer you at all, just like robots that had been programmed.
Why is this happening?
No wonder [ Lut Gholein ] felt so Death Energy, like a dead city; the real reason was right here. However, Sun Fei couldn't figure out the specific cause of this phenomenon, so he had no choice but to give up and wait and see.
After donning the brand-new equipment, Sun Fei immediately felt an immense surge of power emanating from every pore of his body. Both his defense and attack capabilities were more than doubled thanks to the enhancements from the equipment. The armor's effect was astonishing, achieving a perfect blend of aesthetics and functionality.
This involuntarily reminded Sun Fei of the various magical Constellation Cloth in the super classic Japanese anime " Saint Seiya " from his previous life. Thinking of this, he simply made his armor invisible with a thought, then shouted, "Show-off Constellation Cloth, descend!" He then controlled his armor to appear piece by piece, a process exactly like the scene in the anime where the five Bronze Saint Summon their Constellation Cloth. Beams of light shot out from the armor, creating an incredibly cool scene that greatly satisfied Sun Fei's perverse sense of humor as a Saint.
With a flick of his wrists, two beams of light, one blue and one purple, appeared in Sun Fei's hands, giving him an ethereal and otherworldly aura, making him seem like a graceful sword immortal.
"Haha, from now on these two swords will be called the Purple and Azure Twin Swords!"
Fully armed, Sun Fei wielded the [ Purple and Azure Twin Swords ] and swept out of the city gates of [ Lut Gholein ] like Whirlwind. He wreaked havoc in the wilderness, killing monsters that previously required three or four axe blows. Now, Sun Fei could kill them with One Sword strike. His [ Double Swing ] skill unleashed a storm of blades, leaving a trail of death in its wake. He killed one person every ten steps, leaving no trace for a thousand miles.
"With his current strength, the Barbarian character has a considerable chance of winning even if he were to face those Four-Star Class experts head-on."
After more than ten minutes of monster-slaying practice, Sun Fei fully understood his true strength at that moment.
Having done all this, he didn't linger any longer and went straight back to the city to find [the perennial extra, Blue- Warriv ], choosing to [go west]. A flash of blue light, and Sun Fei returned to [ Rogue Encampment ].
" Sun Fei, you've gone back on your word!"
"Sir, we're just going to see the sights of this big city. We absolutely won't cause you any trouble. Please take us there this once!"
"Sir, you can't be so biased! You've already taken Elena once, why not take us? What Elena can do, we can do too!"
[ Rogue Encampment ].
More than half an hour ago, at the place where Sun Fei and [the eternal extra, passerby A] in blue Warriv had disappeared, the young and beautiful female Rogue became excited when they saw that Sun Fei and the other person had returned. They surrounded them and started chattering noisily.
Elena, beautiful as a lotus, appeared here at some unknown time.
She parted the many sisters surrounding Sun Fei, looked at the somewhat bewildered Sun Fei, hesitated for a moment, and said softly, "My lord, if it's convenient, please take the sisters with you. They've grown up here since childhood, facing countless demons, a gloomy sky, and a dark wilderness every day, and they yearn for the prosperity of big cities..."
"Stop!"
Sun Fei stopped everyone from talking, looked at this group of thorny roses with a puzzled expression, Earth Inquiry surprise, "So... you didn't stay behind voluntarily just now?"
"Would you stay on your own initiative?" The girls were stunned. "Why would we stay on our own initiative? It was clearly you who didn't want to take us with you and ran away by yourself!"
Uh... is that so?
Sun Fei was a little confused. After thinking for a moment, he said, "That's strange... Let's try again... Maybe we didn't coordinate well just now. Everyone hold hands and don't let go, and close your eyes."
The girls did as instructed.
A soft buzzing sound followed by a flash of blue light.
Sun Fei vanished from the spot, along with Elena, while the other female Rogue remained standing there, looking at each other in bewilderment...
Buzzing.
Sun Fei returned quickly.
"What's going on? Only Elena can go?" Sun Fei was stunned. It didn't make sense. If she couldn't go, then no one could. Why could Elena go through, but the other girls couldn't, even though they were all Rogue?
The group of people looked at each other in bewilderment.
