Chapter 69 - Chapter 69: Unboxing, Warrior-type Summoned Beast

  [You have opened a rare-level dungeon treasure chest.]

  [Received Shadow Dagger LV.20 [Rare]]

  [Received Teleportation Scroll*1]

  [Received Strengthening Stone*15]

  [Received Large Health Restoration Potion*10]

  A rare-level piece of equipment, a teleportation scroll, and some materials and consumables.

  The Shadow Dagger is equipment for assassins, increasing strength and agility. It also grants a stealth skill, and the first attack after releasing stealth is guaranteed to be a critical hit.

  It's a truly powerful assassination weapon.

  While the equipment is good, it's not suitable for him.

  So Gu Chen took out his phone and searched the professional trading platform. Among the rare-level equipment, a level 20 Shadow Dagger sells for around 3 million.

  This figure delighted him.

  Although he couldn't use it himself, he could sell it for a good price.

  Gu Chen stored the equipment in his personal storage and marked it for sale. Gu Chen

  thought of Su Ran, who seemed to be an assassin as well. He wondered if she wanted the Shadow Dagger. If she did, he could sell it to her at market price.

  Although Su Ran and Lin Qingqing were constantly borrowing money, they also received treasure chests and gift boxes after each level they cleared.

  And because Gu Chen's levels were always high in difficulty, the equipment he found was quite good.

  So, for them, selling just one or two pieces of equipment would quickly pay off their massive debt.

  Next, Gu Chen's eyes fell on the second treasure chest.

  [You have opened a rare-level Abyss treasure chest]

  [Received Mediator Cloak LV.20 [Rare]]

  [Received Strengthening Stones*15]

  [Received Spirit Recovery Potion*5]

  [Received Large Health Recovery Potion*10]

  "Mediator Cloak, don't let it be another class's equipment,"

  Gu Chen said, picking up the cloak and examining its attributes.

  [Mediator Cloak]

  [Quality: Rare]

  [Level: LV.15]

  [Class Restrictions: Summoner]

  [Attributes: Constitution +50, Spirit +50]

  [Effect: Select a summoned beast's skill as a medium, usable by both the summoner and the summoned beast]

  Exclusive equipment for the Summoner class!

  This is some serious good stuff!

  With this cloak, he gained an extra skill, allowing him to switch between the skills of several summoned beasts, greatly boosting his combat power.

  Gu Chen donned the Media Cloak and immediately opened the third treasure chest.

  [You have opened a rare-level Abyss treasure chest]

  [Received Echo Necklace LV.20 [Rare]]

  [Received Strengthening Stones*15]

  [Received Purification Scroll*1]

  [Received Spirit Restoration Potion*10]

  Gu Chen's eyes lit up. This time, he had actually opened an epic item.

  Uncovering epic equipment from a rare-level treasure chest is a one percent chance. Gu Chen hadn't expected his luck to be so exceptional.

  [Echo Necklace]

  [Quality: Epic]

  [Level: LV.20]

  [Class Restrictions: None]

  [Attributes: Spirit +100, Speed ​​+100, Cooldown Reduction +45%, Recovery Speed ​​+45%]

  [Effect: Restore 10% of Energy after each kill]

  Upon receiving this item, Gu Chen was practically transfixed.

  Killing an enemy instantly restores 10% of its stamina. If a Nightmare Overlord wears this, wouldn't it be able to extend the duration of the Deep Dream indefinitely? It's

  simply too powerful to describe.

  Furthermore, this Echo Necklace is a set, combining with the Echo Ring.

  Completed, the set significantly boosts key stats like health, damage, defense, and recovery.

  "What a shame! Why is it a level 20 item?"

  Seeing the eye-catching equipment effect, Gu Chen wished he could give it to the Nightmare Overlord right away.

  However, level 20 is still three levels away.

  From level 17 to 20, the difference is 400,000 to 500,000 experience points. At least two more challenging first-level Abyss levels are needed to clear it.

  Gu Chen reluctantly put the Echo Necklace into his personal space and then looked at the only remaining record-breaking gift box.

  Generally, gift boxes contain equipment or items corresponding to the profession.

  Gu Chen rubbed his hands and opened the box.

  [You have opened the Rare Record-Breaking Gift Box]

  [Obtained Skill Book LV.17 [Rare]]

  A skill book?

  Gu Chen's eyes flashed with curiosity, and he quickly picked it up to examine it.

  [Skill Book: Summon Spiked Tortoise]

  [Level: 17]

  [Qualification: Rare]

  [Effect: Contract with Spiked Tortoise]

  Since it was opened from a gift box, its level and type are matched to the class that opened it.

  While the Spiked Tortoise excels at defense, it's not a tank-type summon, but a warrior.

  "I didn't expect to get a rare-level summon skill book,"

  Gu Chen was somewhat surprised, as the summon skill book Liang Yi had given him was also rare.

  He then took that summon skill book in his hands as well.

  [Skill Book: Summon Nethercat]

  [Level: 15]

  [Qualification: Rare]

  [Effect: Contract with Nethercat]

  The Nethercat, known for its speed and burst, is an assassin-type summon.

  Gu Chen took a quick look and immediately lost interest in the summoning book. After all, the Nightmare Overlord was an assassin-type summoned beast, capable of both single-target burst damage and powerful group attacks.

  Adding a fourth summoned beast, a Nethercat, would significantly impact combat effectiveness.

  So, Gu Chen placed the Nethercat summoning book in his personal space, intending to list it on the professional trading platform to see if he could sell it.

  If it were a rare weapon, it would definitely be worth around three million.

  But as a rare summoning book, he'd be lucky if it fetched even one million.

  After all, summoned beasts of this rank are merely entry-level for summoners, so their prices are likely to be very low, and they're difficult to sell.

  Otherwise, Jiang Songhua wouldn't have so readily given him the Bloodthirsty Bat Summoning Tome.

  After sorting through all his resources, the only things he had left were the Media Cloak and the Summoning Skill Tome.

  Thinking of this, Gu Chen couldn't help but sigh.

  Fortunately, he'd found the right summoning tome from the gift box, otherwise he'd still be struggling with choosing a summoned beast.

  "I'm almost out of summoned beasts. It seems I need to head to a big city."

  Both Lincheng and Wancheng are considered third-tier cities in the Shenxia Empire, offering pitifully few resources for the summoner profession.

  Liang Yi had previously explained to him that there were only three level 15 skill tomes in the Wancheng treasury, and this Nethercat Summoning Tome was the rarest of the three with the highest growth potential.

  Liang Yi also said that if he wasn't satisfied with this one, he could help find one in other cities. His attitude was incredibly kind.

  To be able to achieve this level of skill was already far superior to Xu Lai in Lincheng.

  Among Gu Chen's current summons, the Blood Lord is for ranged damage and burst, the Nightmare Overlord is for instant burst and sustained damage, and the Undead Golem is for debuffs and weakening. He's missing a warrior-type summon.

  Coincidentally, the Spiked Turtle is a warrior-type.
