108: Chapter 108 Upgrading the Annihilation Set

After looting the equipment, Xie Yunzhou respectfully presented the equipment with both hands.

Jiang He took the equipment, but his expression changed immediately.

There were actually two equipment advancement cards inside?

"Hey, Jiang Ge, are you okay?"

Seeing the other person freeze after taking the equipment, Xie Yunzhou waved his hand.

Jiang He finally snapped back to reality.

"Ah, no, it's nothing. I was just really surprised. I didn't expect to be able to drop an equipment advancement card from here."

"Uh... Is this thing very rare?"

Jiang He frowned and looked at him.

"Aren't you a hidden class too? You don't know how rare this thing is?"

Xie Yunzhou looked puzzled: "Does that have anything to do with me being a hidden class?"

"No, doesn't your equipment need upgrading?"

"It needs upgrading, yeah?"

"Then why did you say the equipment advancement card was useless?"

Now both of them were confused.

Xie Yunzhou's exclusive equipment was also growth-type, but the upgrade method was different from Jiang He's.

His equipment needed to be upgraded by killing a certain number of monsters.

Immediately after, Xie Yunzhou made his equipment attributes public, and Jiang He was shocked.

A full set of Tier 8 equipment.

Seeing the requirements for upgrading, promoting to Tier 9 required killing 9,000 monsters above level 40 (per piece of equipment).

Jiang He swallowed hard. This guy had a full body of Tier 8 equipment; how many monsters had he killed exactly?

However, this still made him very envious.

He had struggled with his life just to barely get one 1st-turn robe.

His weapon was still Tier 7, and his annihilation set didn't even need to be mentioned—only Tier 3.

Truly, there is no harm without comparison.

Jiang He felt a bit unbalanced inside, rolled his eyes at him, and then turned his head to say:

"Heh... Trash."

"Uh... Jiang Ge, is my equipment really that trash?"

"In short, it's trash."

"Fine, if you say it's trash, then it's trash."

Immediately after, Xie Yunzhou took a pile of things out of his backpack and handed them over.

"Jiang Ge, you should be able to use these, right?"

Jiang He took one look, and his eyes immediately lit up.

"Damn, where did you get so many equipment advancement cards?"

"Oh, these? I got them from fighting BOSSes, doing quests, and rewards from beast tides. I don't need them, and in Storm City, nobody buys them either, so I just kept them in my backpack. If you can use them, I'll give them all to you."

Jiang He swallowed hard again.

This guy had at least three or four hundred equipment advancement cards in his hands.

It would be a lie to say he didn't want them, but taking so many good things from someone for no reason was indeed a bit embarrassing.

"Cough cough... Then you name a price, I'll pay for them."

"Hey, what money? Just take them all. It's good for me if you can improve your strength. We don't know how long we'll have to stay in this foreign land, and I'll still be counting on you, little brother."

Jiang He sighed.

Well, now that he had taken such valuable things from someone, he couldn't ignore him anymore.

"Fine, in the Crystal Capital, I'll protect your life."

"Deal."

Jiang He took the equipment advancement cards.

Currently, the shadow robe could no longer use advancement cards.

After the equipment reached the 1st turn, if one wanted to continue increasing its level, the player's level needed to be higher than the equipment's level.

Moreover, the upgrade requirements were extremely difficult; each upgrade required a tempering process.

But he didn't know the specific requirements yet.

It was estimated that this feature was not yet open.

Currently, he had a total of seven pieces of the annihilation set.

Upgrading the whole set to Tier 4 at once would require consuming 35 equipment advancement cards.

Following this logic, every upgrade required doubling the amount.

Based on the number of advancement cards he had on hand, it was only enough to upgrade the seven pieces of equipment to Tier 6.

However, this was enough to make him happy.

[Consuming 35 equipment advancement cards, equipment is advancing]

[Ding, detected that the set is advancing. Do you want to recharge 10 yuan to improve the equipment quality?]

Jiang He was quite happy.

This recharge function was finally triggered.

Since entering the Void Land, he hadn't seen any other options besides the resurrection recharge.

[Recharge successful]

[annihilation set · Tier 4 (Fine) → (Perfect)]

Jiang He snapped his fingers: "Not bad, Perfect-grade equipment."

Next, he continued to upgrade.

[annihilation set · Tier 5 (Perfect)]

This time, the recharge function was not triggered, which was a little disappointing.

Try again and keep going.

[Ding, detected that the set is advancing. Do you want to recharge 10,000 yuan to increase the probability of a quality upgrade critical hit?]

"Finally here."

Jiang He was waiting for this quality upgrade critical hit probability.

[Recharge successful]

[annihilation set · Tier 6 → Tier 8]

"Beautiful, it skipped two grades directly!"

For Jiang He, equipment advancement cards were extremely rare items.

They were simply priceless.

But once a quality critical hit was triggered, it saved him at least hundreds of equipment advancement cards.

Putting on his new equipment, Jiang He opened his character attribute panel:

ID: Game ID

Level: 73

Health: 56000

Strength: 35000

Defense: 18000

Skill: Blood Speech Technique (Poison)

Skill: Dark Injury Poison (Control)

Skill: Invisibility Technique

Weapon: styx fang · Tier 7 (Perfect)

Clothing: shadow robe · 1st Turn (Fine)

Set: annihilation set · Tier 8 (Perfect)

Special: concealment mask

Talent: Recover 100% energy per second

Now his strength had increased significantly again.

Jiang He was full of self-confidence.

He gripped the dagger in his hand and looked towards the depths of the map.

"Let's go, big brother will take you to fly."

Along the way, Jiang He's Blood Speech Technique never stopped.

As long as a Frost Blade Panther showed its head, he would kill it in one hit.

It was extremely refreshing.

Xie Yunzhou behind him was bending down to pick up equipment.

His experience bar was like a roller coaster, shooting all the way up to level 47.

He had leveled up twice in just one hour.

After walking for a while longer, there were no traces of Frost Blade Panthers on the map.

Jiang He didn't stop walking and continued to move forward.

They arrived at the central area of Winterspring Valley.

The place was vast and white, with withered grass and trees, and only small snow mounds protruding.

Jiang He observed for a while but didn't find any monsters.

"Huh, where are the monsters here?"

Logically, this was the central area and should be the place with the most monsters.

But at this moment, there wasn't a single monster.

Suddenly, Jiang He had a bad premonition and said in a low voice: "Be careful, something is strange."

"Yeah." Xie Yunzhou also sensed that something was wrong and got into a posture ready to fight at any time.

The two walked for another distance.

They really didn't find any monsters.

Just when they were about to continue walking deeper.

Sounds of fighting suddenly came from not far ahead.

"Damn, Jiang Ge, there are people here?" Xie Yunzhou shouted.

Jiang He immediately frowned.

He had wanted to find a quiet place to take Xie Yunzhou to level up.

They had even hidden away in a level 85 map, so how could they still run into people?

According to the information he had gathered earlier.

The highest-level player in this Crystal Capital was only level 70.

Could it be that the person ranked first on the leaderboard was leading a team to level up here?

"What should we do, Jiang Ge? Shall we leave?"

Xie Yunzhou also knew that when in a foreign land, it was best to cause as little trouble as possible and avoid it if one could.

Jiang He nodded and was about to turn around.

Suddenly, he heard a familiar voice.

"Fire Phoenix?"
