Chapter 549 - 266: Crystal Dragon Shadow!

After it apologized, the [Riddle Gauze] on Ye Mingqiu’s body gradually revealed itself. He couldn’t help but laugh in the end. As equipment that excelled in concealment, it had the best decorum and generally wouldn’t break character.

Unless something was truly too funny.

What kind of Dominator Level equipment is this? How come I didn’t feel it before?

The Crystal Dragon Shadow pondered and thought: The equipment I encountered before were all big shots, and since I didn’t feel the presence of this equipment before, it must be a big shot too. I absolutely shouldn’t provoke it.

Moreover, I’ve already conceded to other Dominator Level equipment before. If I don’t show respect now, it would seem I am being partial, which might leave a negative impression on the bigwigs in the future, so I must kneel before it displays its power.

Thus, the Crystal Dragon Shadow immediately bowed its head and spoke with utmost respect.

[Greetings, big shot! Please accept my bow!]

[???]

The Riddle Gauze was very puzzled. It hadn’t done anything at all, so why did it just kneel?

However, the issue was minor. In theory, the Riddle Gauze did indeed have this qualification. As it was the exclusive ornament of the [Lord of Light and Shadow], receiving the Power of Faith’s buff. Though its attribute buff amount is relatively low and it lacks combat ability, its equipment traits are absurdly strong—if a real Divinity were to come, it could still deceive it in a battle.

Among the equipment Ye Mingqiu possessed, the capabilities of the Riddle Gauze were closest to a Divine Artifact.

After a small interlude,

Ye Mingqiu equipped the Crystal Dragon Pendant, greatly increasing his four-dimensional attributes and significantly boosting his hard strength.

However, the passive [True Dragon Awakening] might be a bit difficult to trigger, considering Ye Mingqiu’s Life Limit is as high as 180%. At the very least, more than 130% of his life would have to be depleted to activate it.

And that is the minimum threshold. Coupled with super-fast natural recovery and Blood Spear recovery, the actual amount of blood to be hit is quite large.

[Reminder: You have collected three pieces of equipment with the [Dragon Soul] trait, triggering the three-piece set synergy effect - Dragon Soul Guard]

[Dragon Soul Guard: All Attributes +10]

There’s actually synergy?

Ye Mingqiu felt a bit surprised. He hadn’t heard of anything like equipment synergy before, but this sort of thing probably has extremely high requirements for the strength of the equipment itself, which typical equipment cannot meet.

For example, the [Dragon Soul Guard] synergy requires Tier Three equipment with a dragon soul... three pieces?

The Crystal Dragon Pendant, the Flame Dragon Inverse Scale Armor, these are two pieces of equipment with the dragon soul attribute. In addition, there is a third piece of equipment with a dragon soul.

Black Dragon Gloves!

This piece also has a dragon soul!

However, the dragon soul of this equipment seems rather low-key and well-hidden. If not for triggering the three-piece set synergy effect, Ye Mingqiu might not even have discovered the latent dragon soul within, indicating the potential of the Black Dragon Soul is quite good.

"The equipment’s not bad, you’ve got a keen eye."

Ye Mingqiu spoke with a smile and asked, "Currently, how many Dominator, how many Radiant Gold do you have?"

"Two Dominator, five Radiant Gold."

Tang Ruobing replied and then made eye contact with Ye Mingqiu, her lips trembling slightly, and said, "Don’t overthink it. My current equipment is the optimal solution under extreme allocation, my attribute needs are more extreme, so it’s harder to filter the requirements, which is not really related to funds."

"Mm."

Ye Mingqiu nodded in response.

He then inquired about Tang Ruobing’s specific equipment configuration, what slots were needed, and what could be optimized. Faced with these detailed questions, Tang Ruobing answered each one.

Through efficient communication, Ye Mingqiu gradually understood Tang Ruobing’s current situation and felt more at ease with her, which felt great.

This is the rational advantage of a Mage!

Although Tang Ruobing may have quirky thoughts in some respects, overall, she’s a very nice girl, without the need to worry about doing foolish things.

In the world of mortals, there’s a type of girl who, after falling in love, would stupidly spend all her money on someone else without saying anything, enduring hardships quietly. She waits for you to notice, and if you don’t, then she plays the regret game.

"...So, my equipment needs are more precise and more difficult to find than yours."

Tang Ruobing looked at him, sighed softly and said, "For someone like you with four main attributes, practicing Tank, Warrior, and Mage capabilities at the same time, finding equipment is much simpler than for me. Basically, any equipment will work, I can’t compare with you."

"Mm."

Ye Mingqiu nodded once more.

After Tang Ruobing’s father took off, her family’s funding actually became much higher than before. Buying top Tier One equipment is definitely not an issue; it’s just that the market does not have that much top equipment available for her to purchase, which is quite frustrating.

Radiant Gold level equipment is actually not bad, as long as you put all your efforts into scouring the market, you can still find a few usable pieces. Although the production volume of these things is extremely low, at least the market still has some stock.

But Dominator Level equipment...

That’s what’s truly impossible to buy even if you wanted to!

Dominator Level equipment has life, and many can grow. Not only is their drop rate lower than Radiant Gold, but those that drop are generally preferred by Spiritualists for personal use rather than selling them for resources... unless they’re unusable or there’s a desperate need for money, they won’t be sold.

Being able to snag a Crystal Dragon Pendant from the market is already a stroke of extreme luck for Tang Ruobing.

"Are you relieved now?"

Tang Ruobing asked with a hint of sentiment.

"Mm, I’m relieved. Next, I’m going to the volcanic area to train. I’ll come back after some time."

Ye Mingqiu stood up from the ground, turning his gaze toward the other side’s volcanic simulation area.

"Volcano?"

Tang Ruobing thought for a moment, then asked, "Is it to create an environment for the Flame Dragon Inverse Scale Armor, to speed up its energy charging and transformation?"

"Yes, its growth level is getting higher, and its equipment durability is getting lower. It feels like it might explode at any moment. It’s best to find a place with a high concentration of fire elements to nurture it. Hopefully, I can witness its moment of transformation." Ye Mingqiu said with a smile.

"Hope so. I’m also curious what extent it can reach after transformation. I feel it should become a new Dominator Level equipment, and a rather powerful one... its ability should be more suited to you, right?" Tang Ruobing said.

"Maybe. Anyway, I’m leaving now; if something comes up, just message me in the Spirit Realm privately."

Lastly, before he left, Ye Mingqiu looked toward Tang Ruobing’s direction with a smile, activating his perception ability — clearly without any intention to hide it.

On the other side, Tang Ruobing didn’t resist, and at the same time, followed up with his attributes, growing and gradually changing.

Seventy thousand lives? This... is it still a human?

[Broken Star (Level 10 Hero)]

[Race: Human]

[Life: 3560/3560]

[Spiritual Energy: 42230/42230]

[Four-dimensional Attributes: Power: 56, Agility: 62, Constitution: 99, Spirit: 468]

Such high attributes...

Ye Mingqiu felt a bit surprised. Tang Ruobing’s total spiritual energy was ridiculously high, and her mental attribute was also extremely high, over two hundred more than his, already surpassing many Dominators.

However, this is based on forsaking the values of other three-dimensional attributes. Compared to those Dominators with a main attribute of 300+ and sub-attributes of 200+, Tang Ruobing’s less than triple-digit three-dimensional attributes were already quite pitiable.

But actual combat is not attribute PK, although Tang Ruobing sacrificed her three-dimensional attributes, she could compensate with magic spells. Her final actual combat power would definitely not be weaker than a top Dominator, and with various equipment effects and burst abilities’ amplifications, she might be able to wrestle with higher-level powerhouses.

After all, she has already had the record of injuring the Tier 10 [God] feature Dominator - Day God before.

This guy is indeed strong!

Ye Mingqiu smiled, recalling the Qing Yu attribute panel he got earlier.

[Qing Yu (Level 10 Hero)]

[Race: Human]

[Life: 2560/2560]

[Spiritual Energy: 1560/1560]

[Four-dimensional Attributes: Power: 254, Agility: 346, Constitution: 78, Spirit: 55]

This guy’s strength is also very strong, definitely not inferior to some powerful Dominators. It’s just that compared to those Dominator Level strong, his weaknesses are too obvious. Although there’s a lot of operational space, the tolerance for errors is just outrageously low; if not careful, one hit might finish it.

Attributes are so extreme because neither Tang Ruobing nor Qing Yu opted for equipment that adds to ineffective attributes. Ye Mingqiu chose equipment that adds multiple attributes, so the total increase is greater.

But what they chose was aimed at boosting certain attributes, resulting in fewer total increases, but allowing a single attribute to reach a very high level.

However, Qing Yu is an Assassin, and although Agility is primary, some Power should be added as well. Otherwise, if the result is just scraping without breaking defense, and only pursuing Agility, it would be pretty embarrassing if he can’t hack through enemies in the end.
