Chapter 132 - 117: Excellent Reward from the Sacrifice, Fang Xiu’s Experiment
Chapter 132: Chapter 117: Excellent Reward from the Sacrifice, Fang Xiu’s Experiment
This must be a draconic crest, similar to Fafnir’s.
Fang Xiu, however, clearly had no interest in Fafnir.
He picked up the box and opened it without hesitation.
Then, Fang Xiu saw it. Inside was a glove—a fingerless one, at that. And most importantly... there was truly only one.
Fang Xiu checked the box; it only had one layer.
There was no false bottom, no other compartments to open.
Just a single glove, for the right hand.
Fang Xiu picked up the glove.
It felt quite nice, very soft to the touch.
The thickness was just right, too.
It looked like leather, but it didn’t feel like it.
A dark red draconic crest was emblazoned on it, looking incredibly lifelike.
’Since I got this through a Sacrifice, it should be pretty good, right?’
Fang Xiu stared at the glove in his hand.
He had sacrificed quite a lot to Fafnir in the past.
Lu Yu’Er, and also a Liu Bei set.
The rewards had all been quite good.
’This time, even if the Sacrifice was just a fifty-year-old woman, surely it wouldn’t result in just a single, crappy glove, right?’
Fang Xiu then put it on without a second thought.
He checked its stats.
And then... he froze.
[Divine Artifact - Demon Dragon Gloves]
[Attack: +50%]
[Power: +50%]
[Attack Speed: +50%]
[Accuracy: +50]
[Skill One: Evil Dragon Chain Attack. Every attack carries additional Dragon Breath damage. After each successful hit, there is a chance to trigger a Chain Attack, dealing an even greater amount of Dragon Breath damage.]
[Skill Two: Blazing Flame Burst. Release a ball of the Evil Dragon’s Blazing Flame Energy to deal area-of-effect damage to enemies and ignite them, causing continuous burn damage.]
[Skill Three: Elemental Control. Activated by equipping both gloves. The gloves can then release Skills of four elements—wind, fire, water, and lightning—to inflict different types of damage.]
[Skill Four: Destiny Entwined. Activated by equipping both gloves. Weave your fate with an enemy’s. After injuring an enemy with the gloves, you will receive a corresponding healing effect, restoring your Life Force.]
"This thing is actually a Divine Artifact?"
This was the first time Fang Xiu had ever obtained a piece of Divine Artifact Equipment.
But...
"Why is there only one?"
Fang Xiu could clearly see that some of its skills required both gloves to be activated.
And yet, he only had one.
"That Fafnir... it was a pair of gloves, and he only sent one!"
Fang Xiu felt a little helpless.
He knew that if it were a complete set—meaning, if he had both gloves—
the stat bonuses would likely be even better.
’Still, it’s not a bad trade. A fifty-year-old woman for one Divine Artifact glove seems pretty decent!’
Fang Xiu was quite satisfied.
Fang Xiu had been planning to craft a Divine Artifact anyway.
And now, after this Sacrifice, he’d gotten one... or rather, half of one.
Even though two of the skills were unusable,
Fang Xiu didn’t really care.
The ability to control four elements and restore his Life Force...
...was dispensable to him.
Then, Fang Xiu stored the box away as well.
It might seem useless now, but there was no telling when it might come in handy.
After all, this was a box that one of the Deities had used to store something.
After finishing all this, Fang Xiu turned his camera back on.
Then he headed in the direction Ye Fan had gone.
...
The staff managing the Special Gate World saw Fang Xiu turn his camera back on and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"See? I told you he was fine. There may be a lot of Demon Beasts over there, but he’s not weak!"
"You’re right. I was so worried he’d been attacked by a Demon Beast that I almost forced his camera on!"
"The guy was probably just taking a leak. Besides, he’s the one who killed a Level 40 boss when he was only Level 15. The rate he’s been hunting Demon Beasts these past few days is way faster than that Ye Fan next to him!"
"Ah, Ye Fan’s camera is on now, too."
At that moment, the feed on the screen next to Fang Xiu’s also came on.
But it was no longer Ying Qingying’s; it had been replaced with Ye Fan’s.
As for where Ye Fan’s screen had been before, no one remembered.
Just as no one remembered a person named Ying Qingying.
...
"Ye Fan!"
Fang Xiu had found Ye Fan.
He gestured for them to head out together.
Ye Fan nodded slightly. "All done?"
"Yeah."
Fang Xiu replied.
The two of them then set off together, heading toward the so-called central region.
"I was worried you were..."
As Ye Fan spoke, his brows knit together slightly, and he rubbed the bridge of his nose.
Fang Xiu watched Ye Fan’s every move intently.
’If Ye Fan still remembers, I’ll have to stop him from saying anything,’ Fang Xiu thought. ’The people at the Awakening Hall must have found out about Lu Yu’Er last time. If Ye Fan says something this time, I doubt they won’t get suspicious.’
"...worried you might have been attacked by a Demon Beast. There are quite a few of them in this area," Ye Fan finally said after a moment’s pause.
"Yeah, I know. Most of the Demon Beasts around here are already at Level 40. You need to be careful, too, Ye Fan."
Fang Xiu nodded slightly.
’Looks like sending Ye Fan away was the right move.’
Fang Xiu hadn’t wanted to Sacrifice Ying Qingying in front of Ye Fan.
His main goal was to test whether Ye Fan would forget.
Last time, Yu Boyuan and Nie Tai had been direct participants.
That was why they remembered everything so clearly. And even though their memories eventually faded, the incident had already been revealed.
But this time, while Ye Fan and Ying Qingying knew each other, they clearly weren’t close.
He was merely an acquaintance in this matter and hadn’t directly participated in the plot to ambush and kill Fang Xiu.
