Chapter 9  : Nameless Iron Plate

Because there had been too many people, Lu Yuan had casually stuffed the items into his bag without even looking.

“So, being reborn is equivalent to having a change of luck?” Lu Yuan could not help but laugh as he guessed.

The wild wolf king did not drop many items, and apart from the mission item, wolf fang, there were only four items.

Among the four items, three were equipment.

One was blue and two were green.

In the World of Apocalypse, the rarity of equipment ranged from low to high. The lowest was the gray broken grade, which was commonly known as the white equipment.

Above that was the green excellent grade, and above the green grade were the blue exquisite grade, the purple extraordinary grade, and the orange peerless grade.

Above all those was the red grade equipment, which was also called mythical equipment. Just like their name suggested, only Gods could have such equipment.

Even though it was a little exaggerated, it was enough to show just how precious mythical equipment was.

The blue equipment in Lu Yuan’s hands now could be said to be the best equipment among the current Apocalypse players.

Not to mention that Lu Yuan was currently wearing a full set of green equipment.

Lu Yuan casually threw the three green equipment that he did not need into his backpack and picked up the blue equipment to check its attributes.

[Klaus’ Wish]

[Rarity]: Blue

[Equipment Level]: Level 5

[Description]: This is a ring forged from Klaus’ only tear during his lifetime. It contains Klaus’ lifelong feelings and longing.

[Effect]: Intelligence +3, MP recovery speed +80% , additional skill Meteor Hate.

[Note]: The equipment can be upgraded. The conditions for upgrading are unknown. Perhaps you can try understanding Klaus’ life.

[Meteor Hate]

[Description]: The strong do not need tears, this is Klaus’ motto. However, in the end, he still went against his beliefs. This is a blow of Klaus’ regrets. Of course, it is also yours.

[Effect]: Launches a light wave, causing 1-1000 damage. The specific damage points will be based on the player’s current rage.

This was a blue accessory.

It was a rare piece of equipment that could be upgraded.

Lu Yuan was someone who had seen the vastness of the world, so this was not what had surprised him among the items he had obtained.

After putting the ring on his finger, Lu Yuan took out a piece of thick iron plate from his backpack.

From its remains, one could barely recognize that this was a token.

Even the information given by the system was “unknown”.

Its function was unknown, and its name was also unknown.

If this item was given to others, they might not know how to use it, but Lu Yuan knew.

This was because it was originally an item he had in his previous life.

However, in his previous life, he had obtained it from killing a boss in Amber City, a high-level main city.

It was all thanks to this iron plate that Lu Yuan had stood out from the countless players in his previous life.

Originally, Lu Yuan had planned to wait until he reached level 10 to leave the novice village and enter the main city before looking for this item. He did not expect it to be given to him now.

Fate sure knows how to joke, Lu Yuan could not help but smile bitterly.

Putting away the iron plate, Solaka’s alchemy potion production had already come to an end.

He held a test tube in his hand. The test tube contained dark purple liquid. As Solaka gently sprinkled some powder that was ground from the wolf fang into the test tube, the liquid in the test tube began to react violently, constantly bubbling. As the liquid bubbled, a foul smell filled the surroundings.

If Lu Yuan had never come into contact with the Alchemy profession and hadn’t seen stranger things than this, he would have suspected that Solaka was not producing a healing potion but poison.

Half a minute later, the potion reaction ended, and the originally purple liquid turned green.

Solaka looked at Lu Yuan, pleased with himself, and snorted coldly when he saw that Lu Yuan’s expression was calm.

[Solaka’s favorability towards player -1.]

??

Lu Yuan was taken aback, but when he saw Solaka’s expression, he instantly understood.

The NPCs in the World of Apocalypse all had their own temperaments, and it was obvious that Solaka was someone who liked to show off in front of others.

“Sir, you’re truly the greatest Alchemist I’ve ever seen. Even though you’re injured and can’t move, you were still able to easily produce a second-tier potion,” Lu Yuan said with a look of admiration.

The admiration was fake, but what he said was true.

Solaka was indeed capable. He was an amazing Alchemist, although he had some quirks.

“Cough, cough! Keep a low profile. This is just a small trick of mine.” Solaka coughed a few times in embarrassment, but he could not hide his beaming expression.

“Oh right, you must have used a lot of potions while trying to help me obtain the wolf fang. I will give these potions to you. First-tier potions are just right for you to use at this stage.” The more Solaka looked at Lu Yuan, the more he felt that Lu Yuan looked pleasing to his eyes. With a slap on his forehead, he took out a handful of potions from his pocket.

“Sir, you’re too courteous. There’s no need, there’s really no need. I’ve already received the reward that I deserve.” Lu Yuan wore a refusing expression and reluctantly took the potions. He glanced at them from the corner of his eye and threw them into his backpack.

You…

Solaka looked at Lu Yuan. The two of them stared at each other.

“By the way, Sir, is there anything else I can help you with? Take it as a thank you for the potions you gave me,” Lu Yuan changed the topic.

“Since you took the initiative, I can’t refuse. I need you to go into the depths of the mine and check out the situation inside. I went in once before, and the dirty creature inside remembered my smell. I’ll have to trouble you with this.” Solaka took out a mask and handed it to Lu Yuan.

“This mask blocks the senses of ordinary earth magic demons. Even if they see you, they will subconsciously treat you as one of their own kind. In the mine, other than that dirty creature, no one else can see through the mask’s disguise, you don’t have to worry. Although I’m heavily injured, that dirty creature is also heavily injured. There’s a high chance that it’s hiding in a corner and licking its wounds.”

[Congratulations to the player for triggering the follow-up mission, the Secret in the Depths of the Mine.]

[The Secret in the Depths of the Mine]

[Level]: Fourth tier

[Description]: There’s a demon from the Abyss hiding in the depths of the mine. Its existence is a threat to the Empire. Please help Solaka investigate the situation.

[Mission Reward]: 750 EXP, follow-up missions.

Abyss demon and fourth-tier difficulty.

There was a fourth-tier abyss demon hidden inside the mine.

If he was not a player, Lu Yuan would definitely turn around and leave. However, the game had just started and the two dimensions had not started to merge yet. Even if he died, he could be resurrected.

Lu Yuan accepted without hesitation. After putting on the mask, he swaggered into the mine.

The wandering earth magic demons in the mine saw Lu Yuan and looked at him curiously. Then, they looked away and continued wandering.

Although he had come to the mine to farm monsters in his previous life, it had been several years. Lu Yuan could not remember the route clearly. After searching for a while, he finally found the entrance of the mine.

As soon as he entered the mine, the rotten smell of flesh and plants entered Lu Yuan’s nose.

The two smells intertwined and wreaked havoc in the mine.

After retching twice, Lu Yuan pinched his nose and slowly walked inside.

The mine was very dark, without any lighting equipment.

Lu Yuan walked slowly inside until his eyes adapted to the dark and he could discern objects before he quickened his pace.
