[Nether Trial Invitation: Hidden bound item. Ownership cannot be transferred. Use in the Newbie Area to enter the hidden Dungeon, [Nether Trial]. Clearing the trial grants generous rewards!]
Reading the item description, Yu Zhun looked surprised.
Dungeons were enclosed maps with specific storylines in the Divine Revelation World. They could contain Demon Beasts and unknown enemies, but the rewards for clearing them were far more generous than hunting Demon Beasts in the wild.
In Yu Zhun's memory, however, there were no Dungeons in the Newbie Area. Players could only encounter them after leaving the Newbie Area for other regions. He never expected the Newbie Area to actually have a Dungeon.
"If my guess is right, the hidden purple title Su Hong mentioned earlier should be obtainable from this Dungeon, right?" Yu Zhun could not help but smile. Now, he would have no regrets when leaving the Newbie Area.
"Since it's a Dungeon, it will definitely be difficult," Yu Zhun pondered. "This invitation can only be used once, which means I can only enter the Dungeon once. I need to make some preparations before going in."
"I'm at Lv9 now, just one level away from Lv10. Once I level up, I'll be able to equip Lv10 Equipment." He glanced at his experience bar. "From Lv9 to Lv10, I need 3,400 experience. If I solo one Boss a day, it'll take two days."
"I'll use these two days to sort out the three pieces of Master Level Equipment I'll need at Lv10!" Setting the [Nether Trial Invitation] aside for now, Yu Zhun began checking the other items in his inventory. "I haven't even looked at the Equipment dropped by the Green Water Demon Turtle yet."
[Green Water Dragon Capturing Ring]
[Equipment Description: A ring carved from the hardest part of a Green Water Demon Turtle's shell. It contains the essence of the Power of Green Water!]
[Equipment Level: Lv10]
[Equipment Quality: Master Level (Purple)]
[Equipment Slot: Accessory]
[Equipment Durability: 100]
[Equipment Attributes: Physical Defense +120, Magic Defense +120]
[Equipment Effect 1 (Bishou): Grants additional Life Value equal to twice the sum of Physical Defense and Magic Defense.]
[Equipment Effect 2 (Imprisoned Dragon): Use on a designated target to prohibit movement for 1 second. Ineffective against targets above Lv20. Each use consumes 40 points of Mana.]
"Holy crap!" Yu Zhun exclaimed after reading the Equipment's effects, his mind completely filled with the word "awesome."
As an accessory, the future Lv10 Master Level Equipment was meant to replace the [Black Demon Sheep's Cursed Necklace]. The Life Value boost provided by the latter was extremely important to Yu Zhun and could not be casually replaced. Now, the [Green Water Dragon Capturing Ring] perfectly solved this problem.
Its first Equipment Effect also increased Life Value, scaling with his own Physical Defense and Magic Defense. At the same time, the attributes of the [Green Water Dragon Capturing Ring] provided a massive amount of Physical Defense and Magic Defense.
The resulting increase in Life Value wouldn't be much lower than that of the [Black Demon Sheep's Cursed Necklace], and it didn't come with the side effect of reducing Physical Attack and Magic Attack. Well... even though that side effect didn't really affect Yu Zhun anyway, a side effect was still a side effect. It was naturally better not to have it at all.
Moreover, the second Equipment Effect of the [Green Water Dragon Capturing Ring] thrilled Yu Zhun even more.
Worried about missing the target? I can just freeze them in place!
Even though the Mana consumption was quite terrifying, it was totally worth it!
"The [Green Water Dragon Capturing Ring] and the [Black Snake Rock Armor]... I now have two suitable pieces of Lv10 Master Level Equipment," Yu Zhun took a deep breath. "All that's left is a Master Level weapon."
"Although I'll still have to hunt Bosses tomorrow and the day after to level up, Master Level Equipment only has a chance of dropping on a first clear. Therefore, this final piece of Master Level Equipment can only be obtained through trading." Opening his inventory, Yu Zhun looked at the Master Level weapon, the [Blazing Soul-Burning Staff], which had dropped from killing the Blazing Fire Demon Rhinoceros yesterday.
He had already sold the other dropped items yesterday but temporarily kept the Master Level Magic Staff to see what would drop today. Now that the results were out, he could make his decision.
He casually listed the [Blazing Soul-Burning Staff] on the auction house. The very next time the page refreshed, it was already gone. A buyer had instantly crushed the competition with a staggering price of 1.2 million, leaving Yu Zhun to marvel at how filthy rich they were. The next second...
[Ji Xiaoyu, the buyer of the [Blazing Soul-Burning Staff], has requested to add you as a friend. Do you wish to reveal your identity and accept the request?]
A friend request, huh?
Yu Zhun didn't accept immediately. Instead, he opened the basic information the other party had made public.
Mage, Lv3.
Buying Lv10 Equipment at Lv3—truly rolling in cash.
[Ji Xiaoyu: Don't put top-tier Mage Equipment on the auction house in the future. Come directly to me. You won't be shortchanged on the price.]
[Yu Zhun: How generous, Boss! No problem!]
The other party did not reply further, which was within Yu Zhun's expectations. Many wealthy players liked to add sellers of top-tier Equipment to their contact lists because such sellers often had more than one good item or belonged to a powerful team capable of consistently farming high-quality drops. Once they built enough connections, they could just directly purchase items through private networks.
Yu Zhun then sold off all the other items that dropped from killing the Green Water Demon Turtle today. In a short period of time, his balance skyrocketed to 2 million.
"With this much money, I should be able to casually pick any Lv10 Master Level weapon."
After searching through the trading house for a while, Yu Zhun quickly set his sights on one particular item.
[Dark Blood-Drinking Dagger]
[Equipment Description: A dagger forged from the spirit of the Demon Beast, Dark Devourer. Pushed to the extreme of Dark, it is a blade that chases the thrill of slaughter!]
[Equipment Level: Lv10]
[Equipment Quality: Master Level (Purple)]
[Equipment Slot: Weapon]
[Equipment Durability: 100]
[Equipment Attributes: Physical Attack +360]
[Equipment Effect 1 (Shadow Blade): Every 100 points of Physical Attack increases the user's Agility and movement speed by 10%, up to a maximum of 100%.]
[Equipment Effect 2 (Bloodthirst): 10% of the Life Value reduction dealt to a target is transformed into the user's Life Value recovery.]
"This piece of Equipment..." Yu Zhun clicked his tongue and snapped it up without hesitation, even though its price was a staggering 1.8 million.
Previously, the Lv10 weapon Yu Zhun had prepared for himself was the Outstanding Level [Black Snake Frenzied Fang]. Its effect increased Agility by 100% and Physical Attack by 10%. While it was quite good, it only triggered when his Life Value fell below half.
The Equipment Effect of the [Dark Blood-Drinking Dagger] could completely overshadow the former, and it was even stronger. Not only did it boost Agility, but it also increased movement speed, and it didn't require him to be at half health to trigger.
Just based on this alone, this piece of Equipment would only be considered excellent among Purple Weapons, but not top-tier. However, with its second effect, its value was entirely different.
A dagger capable of transforming damage into Life Value recovery offered an incalculable boost to an Assassin. It would allow an Assassin facing multiple opponents simultaneously to sustain themselves remarkably well, all without needing a Priest for Healing!
