MMORPG: The Elementalist

While Qin Ruo looking at the dark gold luster glowing from the Water Dragon’s Staff in his grip, excitement filled his heart. A blue light shimmered and glimmered softly from the crystal core affixed at the top of the staff. Qin’s Ruo’s hand stroked the Mana Core as he gave out a soft sigh.

Dark Gold equipment!

‘This day has finally arrived. I have the Dark Gold equipment on my body, two pieces at the same time, woot!’

Even since he switched to the new equipment, Qin Ruo could clearly feel the abundance of admiring eyes pouring upon him. Hah, it was not that too long ago that he was among those who were so crazy and eagerly longing for the gears of the true pros; embellished in Gold and Dark Gold equipment.

Finally, it was his turn!

Carefully, Qin Ruo examined his own attributes over and over again, all sorts of feelings welling up in his mind

At present, his basic Magic Attack had surged to 146-150. Even a Tier 2 AoE Spell Frostburst could cause damage resembled Tier 4 AoE Spell after using the Darkfrost Potion. It was powerful enough to increase Magic Attack to 192-198.

Such horrifying devastation went beyond Qin Ruo’s imagination…

A mere Tier 3 spell could cause more than 200 Magic Attack. He recalled the battle with the Tier 5 supreme player, Dark Dragon. Equipped with Darkfrost Potion and Guardian Potion, he attacked Dark Dragon with Snow Eagle Dive. He had exhausted all his power only to bring about 36 damage. He now saw how destructive the attack truly was—it was a close call indeed. With just two Dark Gold and six Gold equipment, his could feel the enormous improvement in his strength, let alone the Dark Dragon with legendary equipment from head to toe!

The basic attributes of Dark Gold equipment alone was an enormous step ahead of the players from the same tier. If it came in a set, even a rookie could attain the strength half of a pro. At this time, he had finally realized the reason behind why it was only natural that many players regarded them as pros and made a big deal over it.

“Ah! I should have spent more time farming in the Emerald Plain or seek out the Lost Merchants. Perhaps, I will get more Dark Gold equipment for Aquamancers.” Qin Ruo’s voice carried a hint of regret.

However, there are always two sides of the same coin. Omelets were not made without breaking eggs. Getting here earlier may bring about better rewards in the Graveyard of the Gods! Not to mention the reward gained from those omnipotent Bosses, with his current strength, he could even make some gains from sneak raiding the elites from the opposing faction!

Qin Ruo could not restrain those delightful thoughts as he chuckled to himself.

Soon afterward, the equipment that Qin Ruo used to wear and some rewards gained from the Emerald Plains—five pieces of Special Roasted Snails and two bottles of Great Tree Sap were packed into a package. They were meant for Xiaoxiao who had just leveled up.

Then, it was Slayer’s Heart’s turn…

Without further delay, Qin Ruo sent ten bottles of Great Tree Sap to Slayer’s Heart’s bank vault. The Great Tree Sap could boost HP by 100, which was extremely useful to Berserkers. With the strength that exceeded those of Beastblood Berserkers, nothing could stop the pre-eminent Titanwraith Berserker in the Graveyard of the Gods.

As he pondered, Qin Ruo sent five Special Roasted Snails to the Burning Rose and allocated ten Special Roasted Snails and Great Tree Sap for himself. The remaining thirty-eight Great Tree Sap and Special Roasted Snails were all stored in the vault.

When all the equipment were completely loaded in the vault, a voice message sounded…

“Boohoo, boohoo… Boss, you are finally online!”

“I have always been here these two days, ah!”

“Ah? Then you must have been in the Graveyard of the gods. Boohoo, boohoo…what makes you stay there for so long? I thought you will return my equipment soon. If only I know you take so long, I might as well hide myself.”

Wondering Soul was close to tears.

Qin Ruo recalled the moments in Goblin Mountains. This little chap had actually made Qin Ruo kill him and load those useless equipment in his bag. He even threatened Qin Ruo by not having Moonwaltz Rimbo forge his equipment. He hardly had a clue about the Dark Gold equipment now. As he was too focused on the Graveyard of the Gods, he had completely forgotten this…

‘Hey hey, this kid must be anxious about his equipment in my bag now…’

While thinking, Qin Ruo sent those “trash” equipment in his bag to Wondering Soul.

“Boss, by the way, what have you gained in the Graveyard of the Gods? Oh yeah, are you not the one who defeated the Dark Dragon?! It caused a great commotion on the forum. Pffft, I can tell once I saw that rat!”

“…rat…”

Qin Ruo rolled his eyes, ignoring him. He had read that in the forum.

“Uh, Boss. Are you going to the Graveyard of the Gods again? Take me with you! Uh, my bad again.

The entrance to the Graveyard of the Gods is random after all. As my level is too low, I am pretty sure I will be knocked out. Boo-hoo, I’d better not.” As the Wondering Soul sensed the killing intent slowly emitting out of Qin Ruo, he quickly corrected himself.

“Did you hear anything from that Blacksmith girl? What happened to the twenty pieces of Dark Gold Equipment? ” asked Qin Ruo.

Startled, Wondering Soul quickly replied, “Uhhh, was it not already sent to your vault? Are you not aware?”

“It was sent?”

The news sent a thrill to Qin Ruo’s heart. His effort had finally borne fruit. As he was not expecting anything would be done by Moonwaltz Rimbo, let alone the amount of the Dark Gold Equipment. He asked anxiously, “One or two?”

“Um, you’ve has got me stumped. Since you’ve just sent me those equipment, were you not at the bank? You could have known the answer,” Wondering Soul answered in annoyance.

“Cut the crap! Just say it!”

Qin Ruo raised his voice which made Wondering Soul comply.

“Um, alright, I will check again…”

“…”

Qin Ruo found him utterly hopeless as he thought to himself, ‘This kid and Moonwaltz Rimbo are certainly not a couple. Otherwise, wouldn’t she have told him of such an important matter?’

While he was about to seek for the answer on his own, the Wondering Soul’s voice rushed to his ears, “Big Brother! Three! There are three pieces!”

At that very moment, a strong and almost suffocating happiness overflowed in his heart. Scrolled all the way to the bottom as he browsed his vault, he could no longer hear Wondering Soul…

Three massive metallic equipment stood neatly before his eyes. They were so thick and tough that they could take one’s breath away. An exquisite and unique gray armor resembled the color of Darksteel could be seen with a hint of dark gold patterns intricately placed on the edges. Right in the middle on its chest was an embossed demon wolf’s skull, howling up to the sky. Its jaw wide opened with sharp fangs outlined in the dark golden adamantite, blood-curdling and lively!

Next to it was a grayish greatsword. A silk-like pattern ran through, penetrating the two sides of the blade all the way down to the hilt. It was such a simple structure, yet, the overwhelming momentum and loftiness were even surpassed the Darksteel armor!

The last one was slightly unexpected…

A shield!

Moonwaltz Rimbo had actually crafted a Dark Gold shield…

Qin Ruo nearly fainted!

This shield could be found in the market and the value was much lower. Qin Ruo even saw a Gold shield with good attributes worth a mere 8,000 gold coins…

‘Was it not the easiest thing to forge? This little Blacksmith girl was actually dared to forge such a thing to fool me?

‘How pathetic…’

His gaze swept past the attributes of these three equipment before him. While muttering, his was heart filled with a pleasant delight.

Dang!

The Dark Gold equipment were certainly something. Aside from having high Defense, the equipment forged from Darksteel was particularly surprising. With Physical Resistance as high as 70, and 16 Magic Defense, they were not the least bit inferior to his own low-tier Dark Gold robes. Resistance to Physical Attacks was even 25%. Even though the Defense was high, there was certainly a drawback—the attributes were rather ordinary, and even lower than those found on the battlefield.

The same went to the weapons, Even if the basic attributes were very high, they were nothing more than the enhancement of Physical Attacks and a 30% chance to Stun.

Perhaps, this was the weakness of the forged equipment… Only by imbuing Advanced Mana Core in it could make it an excellent Dark Gold equipment.

However, technically, these equipment forged by Moonwaltz Rimbo were already up to the mark!

Qin Ruo laid his eyes on the last “Villain’s Shield”.

‘Huh? Wait…

‘What?! What with the weird name?!’

Qin Ruo was greatly displeased as he swiftly turned to look at the Darksteel sword and armor. They were all named villain…

Villain’s Sword!

Villain’s Armor!

Qin Ruo stood stunned and speechless for a long while then shouted as a blind rage like a fire swept over him.

“Damn it! You evil girl! You have just messed with the wrong person!”
